Registering for some Family, Morale and

Welfare and Recreation activities now is

easier than ever.

Gone are the days of waiting in line. When

fully implemented, a new online program will

allow Bamberg community members to sign

up for Outdoor Recreation trips, pay bills,

register for classes, reserve rooms and en-

roll in activities all from the convenience of

their homes.

The new program called WebTrac was

launched in Bamberg in the spring and will

soon be available at all Army locations.

WebTrac is designed to be 'one stop' shop-

ping for customers, said Darrell Clay,

FMWR director.

―WebTrac will eventually allow authorized

patrons to also sign up for events and activi-

ties in other military installations,‖ he said.

―This literally puts Family and MWR activi-

ties and events at the finger tips of our pa-

trons.‖

Feedback has been positive from both staff

and parents so far, said Linda Shiles, Child

Youth and School Services project manager

for the Child and Youth Management Sys-

tem.

―This is one of the most successful projects

I‘ve ever worked on and it‘s been an over-

whelming success as far as customer ser-

vice goes,‖ Shiles said.

Once registered for WebTrac, patrons can

also print a monthly ―refrigerator‖ calendar

showing all activities in which the children

are participating; request placement on the

Child Care/School-age Care waiting list;

submit e-mail comments or questions di-

rectly to CYSS using the ―Contact Us‖ fea-

ture; and link directly to other related web-

sites, such as garrison home page, garrison

MWR page, Army OneSource and Army

CYS Services home page.

―Prospective CYSS patrons can start their

initial CYSS registration online,‖ Shiles said.

―They provide us with their key information

(names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.)

online. This is followed up by a short visit

with one of our Parent Central Services

and Lt. Col. Steven L. Morris stand before the formation at the War-

ner Barracks Change of Command on July 9.

By Ashley Bateman, USAG Bamberg Public Affairs

A significant change of leadership occurred on U.S. Army Garrison

Bamberg, as Lt. Col. Gary A. Rosenberg passed responsibility of

Warner Barracks to Lt. Col. Steven L. Morris, Friday on Summerall

Field.

For the past three years, Rosenberg has commanded Warner Bar-

racks, addressing the concerns and issues of the more than 3200

Soldiers and 3700 Family members that make up the post. Making

strides in the physical development of the post, enhancing the rela-

tionship between the U.S. Army and host nation citizens and creat-

ing an atmosphere and workforce that would successfully move

into the future, Rosenberg is satisfied he has met his main goals.

Rosenberg reflected with confidence at the July 9 ceremony, at-tended by more than 200 members of the military and local com-

munities.

―I believe Warner Barracks is a better place to live and work than it

was three years ago,‖ he said.

He listed the roads, administrations spaces, offices spaces, hous-

ing and barracks as just a few of the focuses in the physical arena.

―I don‘t think there‘s a single category of space that we haven‘t

made some kind of improvement to,‖ he said. ―I want to thank

Bamberg-based Soldiers and Families for their patience and sup-

port as we made these improvements and I want to thank the Di-

Bamberg hosts women’s softball tournament By Ashley Bateman, USAG Bamberg Public Affairs

The Bamberg community women‘s softball team spent one of the

hottest days of the year so far out in the sun, making runs and bat-

tling other military community teams.

Warner Barracks hosted an open softball tournament July 10, bring-

ing teams from all over Europe to compete in pool play and a single

elimination tournament later in the day.

The leaders in the day‘s games were Lady Smash and Grafenwöhr,

who took first and second place in the tournament. Even though they

played short with only nine players, Lady Smash, an Air Force team

consisting of players from all over Europe, blew away the competi-

tion and ended the championship game early through a mercy rul-

ing.

―Graf was kind of the sleeper team, they started off slow and then

won in the tournament,‖ said Charles Williams, Bamberg sports spe-

cialist.

Bamberg went up against Schweinfurt in the first game of the day‘s

play pool at 9 a.m. The games, originally set to run 40 minutes, were

lengthened by 10 minutes when the Hohenfels team dropped out.

HIRED! program offers unique summer jobs for teens By Mindy Campbell,

USAG Bamberg Public Affairs Office

Isaura Fumero wandered around the room,

stopping to help a young girl put together a

Fourth of July firecracker art project.

The 17-year-old Bamberg High School

senior was leading the Community Activity

Center‘s children‘s craft day activity on a

recent Thursday afternoon. Fumero had

planned and organized the event.

It‘s not your typical way to spend a hot

summer day. But for Fumero, it is a small

price to pay for the paycheck and valuable

work experience she is gaining and hopes

to use after graduation next year.

Fumero is one of six local teens participat-

ing in HIRED!, a workforce preparation and

career exploration program.

―This is a great experience for me,‖ Fumero

said. ―I want to study psychology when I

graduate and this is a perfect opportunity

for me to get some job experience that I

would never have been able to do before.‖

The Child, Youth & School Services

HIRED! apprenticeship program offers

hands-on training and mentorship for a

specific job skill set designed to help deter-

mine if it is a viable career path for youth

ages 15-18, said Shay McNeil, program

coordinator.

While there are many youth job programs

around, HIRED! stands apart from the rest,

McNeil said.

―It really is more about youth development

then making money,‖ she said. ―It is not

designed to keep the youth busy, but to

teach them a specific job skill set.‖

The program consists of two main con-

cepts – getting paid for a job and workforce

education. The program offers four 12-

week terms. During the school year, stu-

dents work 15 hours a week, with an option

to work a 30-hour week in the summer.

Students must apply to take part in the

program. Once accepted, they then must

go through a series of training classes that

cover everything from resumes, interview

skills, personality and interest assessments

and dressing for success.

By Staff Sgt. Bruce Cobbeldick,

173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs

WARDAK PROVINCE, Afghanistan– While some commands

either severely restrict fires or elect not to employ them effec-

tively, opting instead to fire at offset targets rather than the actual

target, the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team‗s 4th Battalion,

319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, has a new solution. The

unit, known as Task Force King while deployed, has embraced

the rules of engagement and taken active steps to reduce collat-

eral damage by developing an alternative.

This technique provides the commander with an alternative to the

potentially negative consequences of an indirect fire mission us-

ing high explosive TNT.

By reducing civilian deaths and collateral damage, Sky Soldiers

are meeting objectives that support counterinsurgency doctrine.

―Insurgents are choosing to fight among the people employing

them as human shields; this amounts to an avoidance strategy,‖

said Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Woods, 4-319th AFAR. ―Our

rules of engagement have been a challenge because our enemy

knows when we use artillery in a conventional firefight there re-

mains a very real possibility of unintended collateral damage. In

our efforts to avoid that, commanders have previously been far

less inclined to use artillery. Insurgents are not stupid. This en-

emy has been using our ROE to avoid our fire support advan-

Keep banned foodstuffs out of the United States By Robert Szostek,

USEUCOM Customs PAO

HEIDELBERG, Germany – Personnel ship-

ping household goods to the USA this sum-

mer should be careful when packing the

contents of their kitchen, agriculture officials

advise.

The Bureau of Customs and Border Protec-

tion issues fines of $300 to $1,000 to first-

time offenders who ignore the strict rules

that apply to sending food products state-

side.

―Red meats, sausages, pâtés and salami

can harbor disease viruses — even if

canned — and are therefore barred from

import,‖ said Bill Johnson, director of the

U.S. European Command's Customs and

Border Clearance Agency.

Even pasta or soup mixes that contain dried

meat are not allowed, he added. Foot-and-

mouth disease and bovine spongiform en-

cephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease)

are examples of diseases that need to be

kept out of the USA this way.

Fresh fruits and vegetables may also not be

sent to the U.S. because they can contain

the eggs of voracious pests. The Mediterra-

nean fruit fly is a good example of a bug

that can hide in citrus fruit to beat our de-

fenses.

However, you can ship processed fruit and

vegetable products such as canned fruit,

olive oil, mustard and canned or processed

sauces. There are no restrictions on fish or

mushrooms either, Johnson added. Dried

herbs and spices, tea, roasted coffee, cured

cheeses, cakes, candies, cookies and

roasted nuts are also okay.

and animal products into the United States,

Blazing sun, no sunscreen, leads to not-so-hot skin By Jennifer Walsh Cary,

BMEDDAC Public Affairs

It‘s a Tuesday morning and

I should be working on

several different things at

work, none of which in-

clude obsessing about my

skin.

Too bad that‘s all I can

think about. More specifi-

cally, I‘m thinking about the

heat rash I have on my

arms and the sunburn I

have on my back and legs.

Not exactly the souvenirs I

wanted to bring home from

my weekend trip to Italy.

I admit that part of me ex-

pected the sunburn be-

cause my Irish skin is no

match for the Italian sun,

but heat rash, too? This is

cruel and unusual punishment.

So here I sit, resembling a barnacled lobster, wondering how it all

went wrong.

First, I failed to do the appropriate research before I left the house.

Sure, I brought sunscreen, but it turns out the sun protective factor,

or SPF, was way too low to keep my fair skin from burning. I even

bought a straw hat to wear, but I was already halfway into my trip

before I bought it. However, my favorite mistake by far is that I did-

n‘t think about what I was wearing.

It never occurred to me that the ultraviolet rays were going straight

through my clothes and attacking my skin. Did you know that most

clothes provide less than SPF 15 protection?

I was reading a magazine on the flight back to Germany that said

many clothes only have SPF 6 protection. Figures I would read that

little tidbit as my vacation was ending.

To make matters worse, I

was dripping with sweat for

most of the trip. Not only is

sweating unpleasant in

general, but in a humid

climate it can lead to seri-

ous discomfort. Appar-

ently, sweat can get

trapped under your skin

which leads to the little red

bumps, better known as

heat rash.

Ultimately, all of these fac-

tors led to my current pre-

dicament. Fortunately for

me, it was only one of

many vacations I plan on

taking while in Europe so I

have plenty of time to re-

deem myself. I beefed up

my knowledge about tak-

ing care of my skin and

vowed to do things differ-

ently next time.

I made a promise to my skin that in the future I will bring sunscreen

with an absolute minimum of SPF 15. My goal is to aim for SPF 50,

but my inner Irish woman still longs for a tan. I promised that I will

wear better clothing that‘s breathable like cotton and can wick away

sweat to prevent heat rash. I will wear sunglasses that wrap around

my face and a floppy hat that covers my ears. Finally, I will do my

best to stay out of the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when I‘m

most vulnerable to exposure. I like to think of this as my future mid-

day margarita time. Truth be told, I shouldn‘t wait for my next vaca-

tion to put these preventive measures to good use. Any time I‘m

outside, I should make it a habit of living up to the promise I made

to my skin.

At the end of the day, it doesn‘t matter if the sun you‘re exposed to

is Italian or Bavarian; both can be brutal on your skin.

Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov.

Both teams hit hard but made less of an

impact playing defense.

After 50 minutes of close play, the women

were tied at 15 runs. To break the tie, each

team stepped up to the plate. Schweinfurt

players were up to bat first, scoring 6. Bam-

berg player Erin Monaghan crossed the

finish plate for the team to hit 22 and take

the game.

―We‘re usually pretty evenly matched,‖

Monaghan said. ―We‘ve beat them every

time but it‘s always tight.‖

Bamberg lost its second and third games

against Kaiserslautern and Grafenwöhr.

After a morning of running differentials the

teams went head to head. Bamberg was

knocked out early in the single elimination

round, but coach Marie Greenberg is con-

vinced that the practice will only serve the

team to go further in the season champion-

ships.

―We could definitely beat Kaiserslautern in

the future,‖ Greenberg said. ―I saw a lot of

good things from the girls; we just weren‘t

making the hits.‖

At the height of the day, the temperatures

crept higher than 90 degrees.

―It was exhausting,‖ Greenberg said.

The tournaments are meant to provide ex-

posure and practice for league teams. They

allow teams to recognize strengths and

weaknesses while not counting toward sea-

son records.

The women followed Saturday‘s games with

a doubleheader against Stuttgart on Sun-

day.

The doubleheader, which does count to-

ward the season, was a double loss for

Bamberg.

―The second game was a lot closer, we did

field them really well,‖ Greenberg said.

To this season‘s team, which is all new in

terms of playing together, the numbers

aren‘t as important as the steady progress

they‘ve made.

Currently in her fourth season playing for

Bamberg, Greenberg took over coaching

responsibilities when 1st Sgt. Tara

Wheadon moved early in the season.

―I was basically the last one here (from the

previous season) and had the most experi-

ence playing and how the leagues work

here in USAREUR,‖ she said. ―I was really

excited about what we had and the potential

for improvement. Everybody‘s improved in

some way- people have learned to do new

things. Most everyone has been really ac-

cepting to trying a new position.‖

Greenberg first got involved with the team

when her husband, a Soldier with the 173rd

BSB, deployed in 2008.

―It‘s a great thing for spouses to stay active

and keep busy during a deployment,‖ she

said. ―It‘s something they can do for them-

selves.‖

She added that many women don‘t realize

what a great opportunity it is to play in a

military community league.

It‘s really a great thing for people to take

advantage of while stationed overseas, she

said. Though the season will come to an

end in August, Bamberg has a few more

games close to home. The team will play in

Schweinfurt on Aug. 1 and will play at home

against Hohenfels on Aug. 8. Team mem-

bers are hoping that community members

come out to support the games. The Bam-

berg location will be next to Pendleton Field.

call the Bamberg Military Police at 0951-300-8700.

For emergency dental care

outside of the dental facility’s

representatives to complete the registration process, to evaluate the

Family‘s CYSS needs and to get the child or youth matched up with

available local programs or services.‖

When fully implemented, CYSS patrons relocating from another

garrison will not need to do this online registration.

―Before relocating patrons leave their current duty station, their ex-

isting records are transferred to a central secure location where

they are available for the new duty station to pull down,‖ Shiles said.

―Instead of having to start a CYSS record from scratch, the cus-

tomer only has to update their file with their new address, phone

number, employment data and any other changed information.‖

New CYSS patrons are given a temporary WebTrac login and pass-

word at the time of registration. Current CYSS patrons who have

not yet received a login/password should contact their local CYSS

Parent Central Services office.

WebTrac is being implemented jointly with the Army Recreation

Division, said Shiles. When on the main Bamberg WebTrac page, a

patron may select MWR activities instead of CYS Services. Once

on that page, he or she will be able to do things like sign up for

trips, tours and concert tickets; rent recreational cabins and equip-

ment; or make golf tee times.

―Offerings differ greatly from site to site, depending on the type of

recreational activities available,‖ she said. ―We encourage all Sol-

diers and their Families to go online and check out these new

streamlined services.‖

Guests and non-registered patrons can view available activities at

any participating garrison. Log into https://webtrac.mwr.army.mil/,

select a garrison, click on ―Sign In As A Guest,‖ click ―View Activi-

ties‖ and then search by any desired criteria. Relocating Families

can easily go online and see the kind of programs being offered for

their children at their new duty station.

―WebTrac is a prime example how FMWR is using modern technol-

ogy to tailor business practices to best meet the needs of our val-

ued military customers,‖ Clay said.

For information about Webtrac or to register, log on to https://

(WEBTRAC continued from page 1)

―Through the personality assessment we try

to find out what they are really interested in

and if it fits with their personality,‖ McNeil

said. ―We try to make them more self-

aware.‖

Potential job sites include all of the MWR

facilities, the health clinic or event planning.

Additional sites may also be available.

In addition to working, the participants must

attend weekly workshops where they dis-

cuss topics such as financial management,

character, time management and general

workplace life skills they will need to be

successful, McNeil said.

Every HIRED! participant must sit through a

job interview, she said.

―It is quite an eye-opening experience for

them,‖ she said. ―The more interviews you

do, the better you will get at doing them. I

also tell them if they apply for a job at Bur-

ger King and they go in there and make eye

contact and bring a resume - as a high

school student - that is very impressive.‖

Participants receive a cash award for their

work, depending on how many terms they

have participated in - $500 for one to two

terms; $625 for three to four terms and

$750 for five to six terms.

For Tisha Colon, 15, the apprenticeship

program is not only teaching her job skills

but some life lessons as well.

―I am learning that kids are a lot of work,‖

said Colon, who is working at the Child

Development Center. ―I definitely don‘t want

one anytime soon.‖

The apprenticeship program does not just

benefit the teens, said Brandi Crist, Out-

door Recreation manager.

―I think it is helpful to both the employers

and the employees,‖ she said.

Because her apprentice hasn‘t been in the

workforce long, he brings a new viewpoint

to the table, she said.

―He has a different mindset and so he has

fresh ideas,‖ said Crist, who has seen her

apprentice learn to do things such as

kayak, bicycle maintenance and event plan-

ning.

Crist said the program allows teens to pur-

sue different avenues of work.

―Back in the states they might get a job at

someplace like Sonic because it is an easy

job to get,‖ she said. ―Here they are learn-

ing a trade and broadening their knowl-

edge.‖

Jack Austin, Stable Theater entertainment

director, said his two apprentices are learn-

ing valuable skills that can actually translate

in the workforce.

―They are not only working, but are gaining

some high-level technical skills,‖ Austin

said. ―Now they may go to college with a

better perspective on what the workplace is

like and what to expect.‖

Application deadline for the fall HIRED!

term is Aug. 20. For more information about

the program, contact Shay McNeil at 0951-

300-8345.

rectorate of Public Works

for the great job they have

done in making these im-

provements happen.‖

Rosenberg cited the three

main elements that have

ensured the continued suc-

cess of USAG Bamberg:

the garrison workforce,

volunteer programs and

outstanding support from

the units stationed at War-ner Barracks.

―There is no better work-

force in any garrison in Ger-

many,‖ he said. ―Your hard

work and dedication has

been impressive and un-

equaled. Working with you

has been a pleasure and I

thank you for your loyalty

and support. Our Family

Readiness Groups are the

core of our community sup-

port. Their assistance, es-

pecially during the past

three years of ongoing de-

ployments, has been invaluable…The volunteer spirit is alive and

well in Bamberg and it is crucial to maintaining and improving our

services.

The final element is the outstanding support the garrison receives

from the tenant units, he said. They are willing to help ensure the

right support is provided at the right time, while offering their assis-

tance. This support has been invaluable to the garrison‘s success.

Throughout his three-year term, Rosenberg has seen USAG Bam-

berg through some tumultuous times.

―Our future is still up in the air, we know that, but the one thing we

have as an asset is the incredible talent and commitment of our

workforce and as long as they continue to display that, it will help us continue on,‖ Rosenberg said. ―The workforce specifically makes us

competitive..but that also goes to the Soldiers and units because

we have great cooperation together and people love to be here.‖

As one of the highest-deploying garrisons in Europe, Warner Bar-

racks constantly works to maintain a stable environment in spite of

the ebb and flow of community members.

―At any given time we have approximately 50 percent of our Sol-

diers deployed,‖ he said. ―In fact, we have already deployed and

redeployed every unit on this garrison with the exception of the CID

Battalion though we have deployed some of them as teams and

individuals…It takes a tremendous amount of effort to support these

Soldiers and their Families and I am extremely proud of the great

work that this garrison, the Rear Detachments, the FRSAs, the

FRGs have done in support of these brave Americans.‖

Rosenberg and his family will spend the next year in Garmisch, at

his assignment as a U.S. Army War College Fellow at the Marshall

Center there.

He will miss the role of directly helping and making a positive im-

pact on people‘s lives, as a command position affords, but is look-

ing forward to spending more time with this family.

Many representatives from the local city and county offices at-

t e n d e d t h e e v e n t .

Rosenberg has been recog-

nized as an active commu-

nity member since his arri-

val, regularly attending Ger-

man events and partaking

in local customs and tradi-

tions.

―We could not have asked

for better cooperation and a

more true and faithful

friendship as we have

found here in Bamberg,‖ he

said. ―I can‘t thank you

enough for your support and your loyalty towards us,

the U.S. Army. What I have

seen here I have witnessed

no place else: true partner-

ship and friendship be-

tween Warner Barracks, the

city and the county of Bam-

berg.

Be assured that we will be

back in Bamberg to see the

many great friends we have

met during our time here.

And though Garmisch is a

beautiful place, it does not

have what we have found

here: a home. Thank you to all the great Bamberg citizens who

have welcomed us with open arms.‖

While Rosenberg ended his speech with ―Auf Wiedersehen,‖ Morris

began his by saying ―Wir lieben Bamberg,‖ or ―We love Bamberg‖ in

English.

―Johanna and I are honored and humbled to be here in Germany

and be a part of this great community and the wonderful people

who live here both on- and off-post,‖ Morris said.

Morris extended a special thank you to the city and county of Bam-

berg and to the district of Upper Franconia for their continued out-

standing support.

―I look forward to continuing this great partnership between our two

nations and our communities as we forge the next chapter to-

gether,‖ he said.

He then addressed the Rosenberg and Carol, thanking them for

their warmth and efforts to ensure he and his wife had a ―smooth

and seamless‖ transition.

He then promised community members three things.

First, he promised to earn the respect and confidence of residents

each and every day and to always give the community 100 percent

and to treat each member with the highest dignity and respect. Sec-

ond, he promised to place the welfare of the Bamberg Community

first and foremost always. Third, he promised to never let the com-

munity down.

―We will accomplish each mission as a proud member of a Team of

Teams, which encompasses our military community on Warner

Barracks as well as the host nation community that warmly sur-

rounds us. I look forward to our journey together and all of its chal-

lenges as we head into the future.‖

The change of command was followed by a welcome reception at

the Warner Conference Center, where employees were offered the

chance to meet Morris and his wife Johanna in a social setting.

Recycling Tips

1. Stuff old newspaper in wet shoes overnight to

dry and deodorize.

2. Crumpled up aluminum foil is ideal for scouring

pots and pans.

3. Old glasses can be given to opticians to be

donated to people around the world. Or check the

internet for a place to donate them.

Energy-saving Tips

1. Check the rubber seal in the door of the refrig-

erator: test it by closing the door over a piece of

paper or a dollar bill so it is half in and half out of

the refrigerator. If you can pull the paper or bill

out easily, the latch may need adjustment, the

seal may need replacing, or you might consider

buying a new unit.

2. 450 F temperature is recommended for the

refrigerator, 00F for the freezer. Use the right

temperature!

3. Take short showers instead of baths.

tage… Until now.‖

The task force crafted a way to fire non-

exploding training rounds in the adjustment

phase, and switching to a lethal one in the

fire for effect phase; fewer live rounds are

fired. The less lethal training round is the

M804A1, also known as the ―smurf‖ round

due to its blue color. It‗s a ballistic match for

a live high explosive artillery round, mean-

ing the round will have the same effects

while in flight from the tube to the target.

The difference is in the impact effects.

Woods said ―173 ABCT gives up nothing in

terms of effectiveness; the fire for effect

round is exactly where it would be had we

fired all explosive artillery rounds.

―This new approach that we are using here

is more sensitive to the environmental im-

pact issues along with the cultural issues

that affect Afghanistan citizens,‖ he said.

Woods said he identifies Afghanistan as an

agrarian society. When high explosives are

used, they contaminate the soil, Woods

said. When TNT, RDX, and HMX erode into

the fields, crop yields can be harmed, so

using less high explosive rounds is good for

Afghanistan‗s long-term future, as well as

posing a far less likelihood for collateral

damage.

―The 173rd ABCT is aware how collateral

damage separates us from the people,‖ he

said. ―Since the people are the real objec-

tive, within a counterinsurgency war, our

ability to increase public safety is the moral

choice and the strategic choice that best

delivers our vision and ROE directives. This

technique allows us to pursue the enemy

despite his use of human shields. We can

fire closer to protected structures with less

potential for collateral damage.

―No one told these Sky Soldiers how to

avoid collateral damage or civilian casual-

ties, but rather than think inside the box and

apply conventional thinking, which typically

sees units restrict one of our advantages,

our fire power, we opted to tailor our effects

and deliver focused lethality,‖ said Woods.

―So within our Rules Of Engagement, we

can still pursue the enemy, as well as ne-

gate his avoidance strategy. Instead of com-

plaining about the rules of engagement; we

adopted our effects to meet the ROE, devel-

oping a morally supportable alternative. This

technique also meets one of our brigade

commander‗s counterinsurgency (COIN)

directives; ‗fight the enemy‗s strategy not his

force‘. We have brought artillery back into

the fight with ‗tailored effects‗ so now, more

tools are available to commanders. Adapt-

ing artillery‗s affects supports the COIN

fight.

―There aren‗t many armies that would go to

this extent to increase public safety and

reduce collateral damage like the 173rd

Airborne is doing day in and day out,‖ he

said.

Every 155 mm M777A2 cannon crew in the

battalion has the ―smurf‖ round on location.

―This is not courageous restraint,‖ Woods

said. ―They are firing 98-pound artillery

rounds at people who want to kill them. Our

Paratroopers choose to adjust fire with less

lethal rounds to protect the citizens. The

enemy‗s efforts are routinely aimed at creat-

ing more civilian casualties. That is key for

the people of Afghanistan to understand.

I‗ve been a big advocate of this technique

sense the 90s. It reduces the potential for

unwanted damage; increases public safety,

and provides a more morally acceptable fire

support option,‖ Woods said.

A TF King Soldier commented from Sayed

Abad, ―when the blue training round arrived

on location, I asked why they are issuing us

less lethal rounds. After learning their pur-

pose in reducing collateral damage, I then

asked why we haven‗t been doing this for

the last nine years?‖
