MILITARY ADVANTAGE 1

Serving the NATO, Naples and Gaeta Military Community in ItalyRussell Egnor Navy Media Awards – 2016 Best Newspaper in the Navy

62nd year, No. 44 Friday, November 24, 2017

The U.S. military advan-tage against near-peer com-petitors is eroding, andAmerica must invest in capa-bilities to ensure deterrence,the chairman of the JointChiefs of Staff said Novem-ber 14, 2017, at Tufts Uni-versity’s Fletcher School ofLaw and Diplomacy in Mas-sachusetts earlier this week. Marine Corps Gen. Joe

Dunford – an alumnus of theschool – said Russia andChina have examined U.S.operations since the GulfWar and invested in capabili-ties and doctrines to counterAmerica’s conventional over-match.Two U.S. advantages come

to the fore: the network of al-lies around the world andAmerica’s ability to projectpower around the world,Dunford said.These are linked capabili-

ties, he explained, citing U.S.intervention in Afghanistanin 2001 as the classic exam-ple. The United States wasattacked on 9/11 by terroristsoperating out of Afghanistan.Within a month, U.S. servicemembers were on the groundtaking the fight to al-Qaida –a move made possible by co-operation from allies and theability of the American mili-tary to move people on aglobal scale and sustainthem once they arrived.

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFSCOMPILED BY TERESA MEROLANSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Italian Senate Makes National Anthem ‘Official’On November 15, 2017, the Italian senate’s con-stitutional affairs committee approved a provi-sion stating that the Chant of the Italians,commonly called Mameli’s Hymn is the officialnational anthem. It turned out the Italian an-them has been only provisional for the past 71years. The words of the hymn were written byGoffredo Mameli, of Genoa in 1847, and set tomusic a few months later by Michele Novaro.The hymn became very popular during the tur-bulent period of the Risorgimento, leading toUnification in 1861. After the unification theadopted national anthem was the Marcia Reale(Royal March) but after World War II, Italy be-came a republic and the Mameli’s Hymn wasprovisionally chosen as the country’s new na-tional anthem.

Farmers’ Association Calls on Government to Regrow Italian Forest Following Season of FireThe national farmers’ association said thatthe forests destroyed in wildfires this summerwill take more than 15 years to regrow. The association is calling on the governmentto involve farmers in the monitoring andmaintenance of Italian forests. A rainless sum-mer dried out much of Italy’s forests, leavingthem at the mercy of arsonists and increasingthe risk of destruction when fire breaks out.Legambiente is the environmental watchdoggroup that ran a campaign to get schools to

plant trees on Tree Day last Tuesday. It identi-fied a symbolic place where to plant a tree atthe same time in all the national parks includ-ing the park of Vesuvius which were severelyburnt this summer.

World-Famous San Carlo Opera House Celebrates 280 YearsThe world famous San Carlo Opera House inNaples – at 280 years old – is the oldest continu-ously active public opera house in the world.Both Milan’s La Scala and Venice’s La Fenicetheaters came decades after the San Carlo OperaHouse was built. The theater was commissionedby Charles III of Bourbon who decreed that thecity of Naples would have a new, larger theaterto replace the smaller San Bartolomeo Theater.The San Carlo was opened on November 4, 1737,on the king’s name day with the performance ofthe opera “Achille in Sciro.” The theater caughtfire, which burned for two days from February 12and 13, 1816, during a dress-rehearsal for a bal-let performance. Despite the intervention of theArmy to help fight the fire, the theater was com-pletely destroyed, and after a few days King Fer-dinand IV, son of Charles III appointed acommission to rebuild the theater. On February12, 1817 – just 10 months after the blaze – thetheater was inaugurated by the King. The SanCarlo theater is not only the oldest, but is one ofthe most beautiful and famous opera houses inthe world, with its elegant interiors, many golddecorations, red mirrors and velvets, and a beau-tiful ceiling vault with a scene depicting Apollopointing the arts to Athens. It is located in theheart of Naples just a few steps away from theRoyal Palace and Piazza del Plebiscito.

On November 28, 1775, the Navy Chaplain Corpswas born. Throughout the Navy’s 240-year history, the Cha-

plain Corps has provided ministry and counselingservices to Sailors and Marines wherever they serve.The Navy Chaplain Corps comprises more than

800 Navy Chaplains from more than 100 dif-ferent faith groups – including Christian,Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and manyothers – who tend to the spiritual, physi-cal, and emotional welfare of all militarymembers and their families, regardless oftheir faith.Chaplains offer everything from faith lea-dership to personal advice to much-neededsolace. All while living up to the guiding princi-ples of the Chaplain Mission:● Providing religious ministry and support to those

of your own faith● Facilitating the religious requirements of those

from all faiths● Caring for all service members and their families,

including those subscribing to no specific faith● Advising the command in ensuring the free exer-

cise of religionOn November 28, 1775 the Continental Congress

recognized the importance of religion by implemen-

ting the “Rules for the Regulation of the Navy of theUnited Colonies of North America,” which requiredthat religious services be performed on ContinentalCongress ships.Chaplains provide a wide range of programs and

services that are crucial to sustaining the readinessand resiliency of Navy personnel and their families.

They aid military and civilian personnel by buil-ding partnerships with command and local

human service providers such as Ombud-smen, family readiness groups, Fleet andFamily Support Centers, the Red Cross,food banks and clergy associations. From the earliest battles waged by the

Continental Navy to the current con-flicts, Navy Chaplains have put themsel-

ves in harm’s way to minister to Sailors,Marines, DoD civilians, and their families. No

matter the environment, whether on the high seas,on land, in the jungles or desert, members of theChaplain Corps stand with service members in everycapacity – in some circumstances laying down theirlives for their comrades in service of spiritual mini-stry.These exceptionally devoted men and women have

provided our service members with the moralstrength, compassionate care, inspirational leader-ship, and deep faith to maintain constant readinessand accomplish any mission.

We are not bears hibernat-ing therefore we don’thave heavy wintercoats, but whatwe do have areheating sys-tems in ourhomes and of-fices.Turning on the

heater seems simple, but there is more to it than youmight think.Warming up your home uses a noticeable – and expen-

sive – amount of energy. Space heating and cooling canaccount for almost half of a home’s energy use, makingit one of the largest energy expenses in any home, butthere are ways to make your heater work less and yourhome become more efficient in the amount of energy ituses to heat. Suggested thermostat settings are 68-72 degrees

Fahrenheit during the day (this is warm enough to becomfortable but not cold). Also, heating units work justas hard and produce less heat if they are not able tobreathe due to dirty air filters, so change them regu-larly (approximately every three months).Remember on your way out the door to shut it off if you

are not going to be home. Turn the heater off if you aregoing on vacation or taking leave. Heating an emptyhouse could cost you money that could be better spent onother things and puts a strain on our environment. And lastly, turn off during nights or set your thermo-

stat between 58 and 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Your bodydecreases its temperature during the night this will ac-tually help you sleep better and save a bunch on yourelectric bill, and remember you can always add a heavyblanket to heat yourself for eight hours instead of thewhole house.For more information on heating tips and other energy

Stress is an unavoidable and natural conse-quence of life. In fact, increased stress is not al-ways a bad thing as it often results in increasedproductivity – to a point. Excessive or prolongedstress has a reverse effect on the body and mindand leads to many damaging effects such asheadaches, anxiety, back aches, erectile dys-function, and irritable bowel syndrome – the listof illnesses is substantial. The stress response is activated primarily

by a key hormone (Cortisol) that is re-sponsible for our primal “fight orflight” response. When in danger,our body activates with increasedheart rate and blood pressure aswell as a rise in blood sugar lev-els for energy and the movementof blood from secondary activitiessuch as digestion to arms and legsfor strength and speed to deal withthe impending danger. While we nolonger have to contend withsaber-toothed tigers, the responseworks equally well when runningout of the way of a speeding car.When the danger is passed thestress response should switch off. But when thestimulus is not life-threatening, like work de-mands or traffic, it may provoke the same chemi-cal response which fails to switch off again.Psychological and health problems arise whenthis continues for an extended period of time.There are a number of ways to manage stress:● Exercise: Regular exercise that increases

your heart rate for at least 30 minutes three tofour times per week. Research shows that exer-cise increases blood flow, lung capacity, muscletone and decreases body fat and tension. All ofthese are consistent with a healthy body andlifestyle. Pick an activity that you enjoy andyou’re more likely to continue for a lifetime.● Meditation: Meditation does not have to

be overly elaborate or complicated. Simplyclosing one’s eyes for 15-20 minutes per day ina quiet area is effective. A common and usefulfocus for meditation is a simple focus on theinhalation and exhalation of air as you take

long, slow breaths.● Relaxation: Progressive muscle relaxation

can be done most anywhere and can be as briefor long as you wish. It consists of systematicallytensing individual muscle groups (e.g., fore-head, shoulders, biceps, etc) for a period of fiveseconds and then slowly releasing while you vi-sualize the muscle softening. ● Flexibility Training: Yoga has also been

found to be an effective means of stress reduc-tion through a process of postures and stretchesthat serve to elongate the muscles and increaseflexibility in the joints. ● Nutrition: Proper nutrition serves as animportant stress reducer. A diet which pro-vides for one's basic nutritional needs is es-

sential to well-being. In the chronicabsence of a balanced, nutritionallysound diet, the body becomes dis-tressed and is encouraged to respondby developing symptoms. Avoid stimu-

lants such as Caffeine which may causedifficulties sleeping and con-tribute to stress. More important than any

stress reduction technique isthe focus on your overall

lifestyle and reduction in the fac-tors that make stress come about. A negative orpessimistic attitude about oneself or others con-tributes to thoughts and behaviors that arecounter to good well-being. Finally, surroundyourself with quality relationships that arecharacterized by mutual respect and good com-munication as this is essential to maintaining asupport network when stress levels rise in yourlife.If you have questions or would like to discuss

how to deal with stress related issues, pleaseschedule an appointment with your PrimaryCare team at U.S. Naval Hospital, NaplesMedical Homeport or Naval Branch HealthClinic Capodichino. You may also contact yourprovider via Relay Health for questions orconcerns.

Strategies to Minimize AdvantageRussia and China – and other nations – have

studied the American way of war and devised ca-pabilities and strategies to minimize this Americanadvantage, the chairman said.“As an example, if you take the naval alliance in

Europe, Russia understands that the transatlanticlink is critical for us to meet our NATO commit-ments,” he added. The “anti-access, area denial” strategy looks to

develop systems to limit U.S. ability to move intothe region and then to operate freely within the re-gion to meet alliance commitments, Dunford said.“So there’s two issues there,” he added. “One is ac-tually our ability to meet our alliance commit-ments. The other is deterrence, which is closelylinked to the assurance of our allies.” Today, the United States has a conventional com-

petitive advantage against any potential adver-sary, the nation’s top military officer said. “I alsowill tell you that in the last 10 or 15 years, thatcompetitive advantage has eroded, and it’s nolonger as decisive as it was some years ago,” Dun-ford added. Russia, China and others have concentrated

funding and resources in areas such as electronicwarfare, cyber capabilities, anti-space capabilities,anti-ship cruise missiles and anti-ship ballisticmissiles. These systems have “the express purposeof keeping us from projecting power into the Pa-cific, or into Europe as the case may be, in meetingour alliance commitments,” the chairman said. Russia has absolutely no desire to fight a conven-

tional war with the United States and NATO,Dunford said. “What Russia has done over timenow is they’ve combined political influence, eco-nomic coercion, information operations, cyber oper-ations and military posture to advance theirinterests,” he said, referring to the dynamic as “ad-versarial competition.”

This type of conflict has a military dimension, thegeneral said, but it falls short of traditional armedconflict.“Because of the form of government in Moscow,

they’re much more … able to combine all elementsof national power to advance their interests,” hesaid. “And while we may be inhibited in peacetimefrom using certain capabilities – certain cyber ca-pabilities, conducting certain activities, conductingcertain information operations and so forth – theydon’t share the same restrictions. They’re actuallyconducting activities and employing capabilitiesthat we may associate with war, but they’re doingit on a day-to-day basis in the context of this adver-sarial competition.”The same is true on the other side of the world in

the South China Sea, he said.

Effective Deterrence“I think we do have effective deterrence in the

conventional fight against Russia, and frankly seeChina’s methodology in dealing with issues like theSouth China Sea or in dealing with [terminal high-altitude area defense missiles] in South Korea,” hesaid. “When THAAD was fielded in South Korea,China’s response was to put really heavy economicpressure on South Korea. The decision they made– the costs imposed on South Korea for fieldingTHAAD – is billions of dollars. That affects politi-cal decision-making.”All of this is not in isolation, the chairman em-

phasized, noting that this is the most volatile, com-plex security environment since World War II. He stressed that all the threats facing the United

States are interrelated and that none can beviewed in a vacuum. Terrorist actions in EastAfrica affect operations in the Middle East andAsia, and drug networks in South and CentralAmerica could be used by terrorists to ship peopleor weapons into the United States, he pointed out.All are aspects that the United States must dealwith right now, he said.

JOBS from page 12

It’s no secret that the pilgrims facedhard times when they first landed atPlymouth Rock. Without the help of the neighboring

Native American tribes they may nothave survived. At first there was a com-munication barrier, butthanks to the help of aNative American namedTisquantum, or as youmay know him, Squanto,the pilgrims were able tolearn and survive. Little is known of

Squanto’s early life, butas a young man in 1605he was captured by anEnglish man and broughtback to England so theman could show hisfriends. In Eng-land he livedwith a mannamed Fer-dinandoGorges whotaught himto speakEnglish, and hiredhim as an interpreter andguide.Squanto returned to

New England in 1614with Captain John

Smith, but was captured again and soldinto slavery in Spain. After escaping hiscaptors he stayed with some monks be-fore returning to North America in1619. Finding out his entire tribe haddied he joined a neighboringWampanoag tribe. The tribe introducedSquanto to the pilgrims and he wasable to interpret between the twogroups.Squanto aided the pilgrims in manyways. He taught them how to survive,and the lessons he taught quite liter-ally saved the colony. He taught themhow to hunt and where to fish. It isbelieved he also taught them the“Three Sisters” method of farmingwhere beans, corn and squash areplanted next to one another to aideach other’s growth. This form ofplanting later became known as

companion farming.With their

first success-ful harvestthe pil-grimswereable tocele-brateThanks-giving

and survivethe harsh winter of

Plymouth.
