By Ben Sherman Henry Flipper graduated as the first black officer from the U.S. Military Academy in 1877. As a sec- ond lieutenant, he influ- enced the history of the Army, and America, as much as anyone else. Flipper was born into slavery in 1856 in Thomasville, Ga. He was taught to read when he was 8 by an educated slave. After the Civil War, Flipper’s fami- ly moved to Atlanta where he attended a missionary school, and then studied at Atlanta University. But his true desire was to serve in the Army and attend West Point. Blacks had fought with distinction in the Civil War and afterward the Army wanted to train black offi- cers to lead all-black Army units. But the academy vig- orously fought admission of black cadets. A white Republican congressman from Georgia appointed Flipper to West Point in 1873. Flipper was the fifth black candidate to apply to the academy and the third to be accepted. White cadets avoided talking to him. Flipper endured four years of persecution and isolation in the face of harsh racism. In spite of hostilities from cadets, the officers and instructors encouraged him to stay when he often want- ed to quit. In 1877 Flipper was com- missioned as a second lieu- tenant, becoming the first black commissioned offi- cer in the Army and was assigned to the 10th Calvary, the famed Buffalo Soldiers. The 10th Cavalry had been formed only 10 years earlier at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. under the command of Col. Benjamin Grierson and his adjutant Capt. Nicholas Nolan. Nolan commanded Troop A, and served with the Buffalo Soldiers for the next 15 years. When Gen. Philip Sheridan established Fort Sill in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in 1869, Grierson became the post’s first commander and brought Nolan and the Buffalo Soldiers to help construct the new fort. The Buffalo Soldier regi- ments rode with other units from Fort Sill to protect wagon trains and cattle herds that traveled along the nearby Chisholm Trail in Indian Territory and north Texas. In early 1878 Flipper was posted to Fort Sill as the first black commander of Troop A, 10th Calvary, under commander Nolan. Prior to Flipper taking com- mand, all-black units were led by white officers. At Fort Sill, Flipper applied the engineering training he received at West Point. The area where troops set up camps became swampy after it rained and a breeding ground for mosquitoes that carried malaria. Flipper designed an effective drainage system that elimi- nated the stagnant water and the malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Still known as “Flipper’s Ditch,” it became a national landmark in 1977. Flipper also surveyed the post and led the Buffalo Soldiers to build new roads and telegraph lines. The young black officer became close friends with commander Nolan, who began training Flipper to be a good cavalry officer. He invited Flipper to dinner in his quarters on several occasions, which caused other white officers to try and censure Nolan. But Fort Sill commander Grierson dismissed the accusations, because he knew the basis of this discrimination. Nolan defended his actions by stating that Flipper was an“officer and a gentleman, just like any other officer at Fort Sill.” Flipper would usually decline invitations to social events on post, choosing to spend much of his leisure time riding with Nolan’s sister-in-law, Mollie Dwyer. Flipper received high marks from his command- ers but was the subject of jealous rumors and letters that hinted of impropriety between Flipper, a black man, and Dwyer, a white woman. This began a smear campaign against Flipper that would later cost him dearly. In 1881 Flipper and the Buffalo Soldiers were transferred to Fort Davis, Texas and soon fell under the command of Col. William Shafter. Shafter disliked blacks in general and the Buffalo Soldiers in particular. Shortly after the colonel’s arrival, Flipper was accused of stealing commissary funds. Flipper stated at his court martial, to keep the money safe from thieves, he hid the funds in his personal trunk. He did this because there was no secure place to keep the commissary funds and that Shafter was fully aware of this. Despite the fact that Shafter found $2,800 in commissary checks in the possession of Flipper’s white housekeep- er and cook, this fact was never mentioned at the trial. The local town mer- chants, who highly admired Flipper, took up a collection and replaced all the missing funds. The nine-man court martial panel (that included three of Schafter’s officers) could not convict Flipper of embezzlement, but were able to convict him of “con- duct unbecoming an officer and gentleman,”based sole- ly on personal letters from Dwyer that were taken from Flipper’s quarters when they were searched. Although the Army’s judge advocate general concluded that the conviction was racially motivated, President Chester Arthur refused to reverse his con- viction, and Flipper was dis- honorably discharged from the Army June 30, 1882. Disgraced, Flipper sold his horses and went to El Paso, Texas.

Did you know motorcy-cle accidents continue to bea great concern across theArmy, and increased at FortSill in fiscal 2011?

Common factors werevehicles pulling out in frontof riders and riders whoencountered wildlife. Inone instance, mechanicalbrake failure led to an acci-dent.

The fiscal 2012Commanding General’sAnnual Safety Guidance,dated Dec. 6, 2011, madesome changes to the require-ments to ride a motorcycle onFort Sill.The requirements arein accordance with the rapidrevision to Army Regulation385-10,Army Safety Program,dated Oct. 4, 2011.

The last Fort Sill motor-cycle fatality happened in2006, but to keep the cur-rent trend it is going to takeeveryone being involved.The Fort Sill MotorcycleSafety Program includesmandatory training, leadermentorship and reinforce-ment of a Soldier’s person-al responsibility to keepsafe.

For a Soldier to ride amotorcycle he or she mustmeet the following trainingrequirements set forth in theCG’s annual safety guidance:motorcycle training consists ofa basic rider course,an experi-enced rider course, sport bikerider course and motorcyclerefresher training. Because ofpresent contract restraints,Department of the Army civil-ians, family members andretirees are not permitted totake any of the motorcycletraining offered by Fort Sill.

The BRC is the initial

motorcycle training course.It is a two-day course and isusually scheduled weekly.Soldiers who complete thecourse and possess a validdriver’s license are allowedto register the motorcycleon the installation for oneyear. There are loanermotorcycles available forthe basic course, but thoseriders who choose to use aloaner motorcycle willhave to retake the BRC ontheir own motorcycle tolawfully ride on the instal-lation. Soldiers taking theBRC on their own motorcy-cle are required to have arider’s permit and validproof or insurance.

Soldiers will completethe experienced or sportsbike course, depending onthe type of motorcycle theyride, within one year ofcompleting the BRC. Thesport bike rider course isfor all sport and sport tour-ing motorcycle riders andis to be completed follow-ing 12 months of ridingexperience. Every threeyears following completionof the experienced or sportrider course, operatorsshall complete motorcyclesustainment training.

For all those Soldiersreturning from a six-month or greater deploy-ment, refresher trainingmust be completed prior toriding their motorcycles.

Training is only effectivewhen it is completed.Commanders and motorcyclementors have the responsibil-ity of ensuring Soldiersreceive the prescribed train-ing. To attend the courses,Soldiers have to register onthe Army InstallationManagement CommandRegistration System athttps://apps.imcom.army.mil/airs/.

In addition to training,Soldiers have to protect them-selves by wearing mandatorypersonal protective equip-ment, and it’s not enough justto use PPE when riding onFort Sill.

Personal protective equip-ment must be worn whenriding off post, too.

The items that must beworn are a Department of

Transportation approved hel-met, full fingered gloves ormittens, long sleeved shirt orjacket, long trousers, boots orover the ankle sturdy shoes,impact or shatter resistantgoggles and a brightly col-ored garment during the dayor a reflective garment atnight.

Fort Sill’s seventhAnnual Freedom’s ThunderMotorcycle Safety Rally isMay 10, and it reinforcesmotorcycle riding require-ments. I hope those of youwho ride on Fort Sill willride in this event and learnsomething that will makeyou a better rider.

As the Army moves to aleaner, smaller fighting force,each and every Soldier is thatmuch more valuable to theArmy mission.Because of that,it is especially important forriders to comply with estab-lished Army safety guide-lines. So, enjoy your motor-cycle and the scenic areas ofSouthwest Oklahoma, butdo so in a safe manner.

B Company commander,168th BSB

On Dec.1,B Company,168thBrigade Support Battalionarmament repair Soldiers per-formed a unique and impor-tant mission “repair history.”

The mission was toreceive, repair and makefunctional four D-30 122mmhowitzers that have sat dor-mant for the last 20 years asmuseum pieces and “flowerpots”on Fort Sill.

The rehabilitated artillerypieces will support B Battery,

2nd Battalion, 5th FieldArtillery and its mission to trainsome Afghanistan NationalArmy soldiers on the D-30s.

The initial challenge wasthat the D-30 is a Cold Warrelic of the Soviet Union andis not manufactured any-where in the United States.

Maj. William Vick, 168thBSB support operations offi-cer, coordinated efforts frommultiple agencies and organ-izations on Fort Sill and pro-cured four D-30s to facilitatethe mission. The Fort SillField Artillery Museum pro-vided two D-30s, the othertwo came from the Fort SillNoncommissioned OfficerLeadership Academy.

“Without the full supportof the artillery museum andthe leadership academy thismission would not havebeen a success,”said Vick.

Once the D-30s werereceived, the repair wouldpose the next hurdle in themission. How do you repairsomething that has set dor-mant for over 20 years? Thisjob became the responsibilityof the armament repair sectionwhich consists of threeartillery and small arms repairSoldiers and one armamentrepair technician warrant offi-cer.

“We welcomed the chal-lenge and looked forward toit,” recalled Warrant OfficerTaron Chambers from whenhe initially got the phone call.

B Company ArmamentSection immediately set to thetask at hand, from download-ing a Russian field manual forthe D-30 that was translatedto English to working hand-in-hand with the B Companywelders and machinists to

fabricate specialty tools andparts needed in the repair.

“This mission changesevery day,” said Chambers.“We are constantly given anew set of problems to solve,and you never know whatlies behind that rusty bolt orseized hand crank.”

To date B Company hasone D-30 mission ready andis working to bring two moreback to life.

“The resiliency of theseSoldiers is amazing, everyproblem or challenge theyface is met with an out-of-the-box solution. They are a truetestament to the logisticalSoldier spirit,” said Lt. Col.Mendel Waddell 168th BSBcommander.

Picatinny Arsenal in NewJersey is currently workingon a D-30 project similar to BCompany’s mission but on amuch larger scale. Picatinnyis sending a quality assur-ance, quality checks team toFort Sill to inspect the piecesand perform a lessonslearned after action review.

Decals

Did you know?By Col. Paul Hossenlopp

Fort Sill Garrison commander

Fort Sill’s 24/7 access con-trol points are Key Gate Westand Sheridan Road gate(Bentley Gate), but visitorscan enter at any gate.

“The ‘stickers’ were a wayfor honest people to be hon-est, but never were a way toindicate the good guy fromthe bad guy,” Pirtle said.“People would trade vehiclesand not remove decals. It justdidn’t pass the common sensetest.”

Maj. Gen. David Quantock,Army provost marshal gener-al and Criminal InvestigationCommand commander, saidthe move to eliminate thearchaic registration anddecal system came aboutbecause it only offered afalse sense of security. TheAir Force and Navy havealready adopted similar poli-cies to eliminate the decals,known as DD Form 2220.

Quantock said that ifevery post and garrison didaway with the decal require-ment, the cost savings wouldbe about $256,000 per year,or $1.2 million over fiveyears.

The provost marshal gen-eral granted commandersthe authority to keep thepost registration and decalsystems in place if theybelieve it is in the best inter-est of their installations.

Installations that continuethe decal registration will doso through garrison fund-ing, Pirtle said. “My under-standing is that the majorityof installations are adhering

to the recommendation andno longer issuing decals.”

Pirtle said existing DoDdecals on vehicles do notneed to be removed; someposts may still require them.Fort Sill gate guards willignore them, but will scan thedriver’s and occupants’ IDswith hand-held card readers.

“We scan through mostnational law enforcementdatabases” Pirtle said. “Ifyou’re barred at anotherinstallation, we’ll know it. Ifthere is a warrant for you inanother county, we’ll know it.”

For more informationabout vehicle entrancerequirements, visit policeadministration, Building4700, Mow-Way Road, sec-ond floor, or call 442-0130.

File photo by James BrabenecFort Sill no longer requiresDepartment of Defensedecals on privately-ownedvehicles to enter the instal-lation. Soldiers, family mem-bers, DA civilians and con-tractors entering the postwill only need to show theirmilitary identification orcommon access cards.

“We decided that to helpcontrol growth of health carecosts, we are recommendingincreases in health care fees,co-pays and deductibles forretirees,” he said. “But let mebe clear that even after theseincreases, the cost borne bymilitary retirees will remainbelow the levels in compara-ble private-sector plans.”

Overall, the request putsDoD on the path to save $259billion over the next fiveyears and $487 billion overthe next 10. Panetta called thebudget “a balanced, completepackage” that keeps theAmerican military the pre-eminent force in the world.

It is a balanced package,the secretary said, becausewhile some programs areeliminated or delayed, othersare increased. The budgetlooks to re-shape the militaryto be more agile, quick andflexible that incorporates thelessons learned in 10 years ofwar, he added.

Increasing the number ofspecial operations forces iskey to the plan, Panetta said,and special operators willbegin to shift back to theirtraditional pre-9/11 missionof instructing local forces.

The request puts the Armyon a path to drop to 490,000soldiers and the MarineCorps to 182,000 Marinesover five years. Currently, thetwo services have 562,000 and202,000 active-duty members,respectively. The secretarynoted this is still higher thanthe numbers on 9/11.

The budget treats thereserve components verycarefully, Panetta said.After adecade of being an integralpart of America’s wars, thereserve components will notgo back to being a strategicCold War-era reserve. Thereserves will be the nation’shedge against the unexpect-ed, the secretary said.

“We are making only mar-ginal reductions in the ArmyReserve and Army NationalGuard, and no reductions inthe Marine Corps Reserve,”the secretary said. “The AirForce will make balancedreductions in the Air Guardthat are consistent with reduc-tions in the active componentand Air Force Reserve.”

The request also calls formore base realignments andclosures, and a “BRAC-like”authority to recommendchanges to military retire-ment. “But the president anddepartment have made clear

that the retirement benefits ofthose who currently servewill be protected by grandfa-thering their benefits,”Panetta said.

The budget maintains thecurrent U.S. focus in theCentral Command region andincreases American commit-ment to the Pacific Commandarea of operations. Therequest looks to maintain theNavy’s current 11 aircraft car-riers and 10 carrier air wings,Panetta said. It will also main-tain the current Marine andArmy posture in the Asia-Pacific region, and will baselittoral combat ships inSingapore and Bahrain.

The budget will eliminatetwo forward-based Armyheavy brigades in Europe.Instead, brigades will rotatein and out of the area. TheUnited States and Europeanallies also will look to sharecosts for new capabilitiessuch as the alliance groundsurveillance program.

The Navy will retire sevenolder cruisers and twoamphibious ships early, andthe Air Force will eliminatesix tactical air squadrons.

The budget sinks moremoney into technologies toprevail in an anti-access, aer-ial-denial scenario and willfund the next-generationbomber and modernizationof the submarine fleet.

The F-35 joint strike fighteris key to maintaining domainsuperiority, and the militaryremains committed to theprogram, Panetta said.“But inthis budget, we have slowedprocurement to completemore testing and allow fordevelopmental changesbefore buying in significantquantities,”he added.

The budget will maintainall legs of the nuclear triad —bombers, ICBMs and sub-marines — and will invest insignificantly more capabilityin the cyber world, Panettasaid.

Panetta stressed the budgetis based on strategy and willshape the force for the future.While the pain of cuts will befelt across the country, hesaid, it will also ensure astrong, agile military for thefuture.

The budget must passCongress, and the secretarysaid he hopes members ofCongress understand the strat-egy and nuances of the budget.

“My hope is that whenmembers understand the sac-rifice involved in reducing thedefense budget by half a tril-lion dollars, it will convinceCongress to avoid sequestra-tion, a further round of cutsthat would inflict severe dam-age to our national defensefor generations,”Panetta said.

ABERDEEN PROVINGGROUND, Md. — NationalGlaucoma Awareness Month wasset aside to help educate people onthe leading cause of preventableblindness in the world. Glaucomais a group of diseases that damagethe optic nerve in the back of theeye, which can result in a loss ofvision.

The biggest problem is that mostpeople are usually not aware of anychanges in their sight until theyhave lost around 40 percent of theirtotal vision. This loss normallystarts in the periphery or side visionand can progress to total blindness.

More than two millionAmericans have glaucoma, withabout 120,000 being blind becauseof the condition.The troubling factis that most experts estimate thathalf of those people are not evenaware that they have it. The best

way to prevent significant visionloss from glaucoma is early detec-tion through a periodic, compre-hensive eye examination from aneye doctor.

This is especially important inblack Americans, Hispanics, theelderly, and those with a familymember who has glaucoma sincethese people are more likely tohave glaucoma. How often a per-son should be examined can bedetermined between the individualand his doctor.Those in higher riskgroups can expect to be requiredto have an eye examination moreregularly.

Vision screenings where onlythe pressure in the eyes ischecked are not the same as acomprehensive eye exam. Highpressure in the eyes alone doesnot necessarily mean a personhas glaucoma. Additionally, a per-son does not need to have highpressure in the eyes to have glau-coma. When seeing an eye doctormake sure to ask for a compre-hensive eye exam.

If diagnosed with glaucoma andit is detected early, treatmentssuch as eye drops or surgery canusually stop or slow the progres-sion of vision loss. Currently,there is not a cure for glaucoma,although a lot of research is beingdone to find one. One importantthing to know is that the visionloss caused by glaucoma does notreturn with treatment; vision lossthat has already occurred is per-manent. Treatment only stops orreduces the rate of new visionloss, which is why periodic com-prehensive eye examinations areso important.

Choosing an eye doctor isimportant because glaucoma,like high blood pressure anddiabetes, is a disease whichneeds to be treated for life. Bewilling to discuss any sideeffects or symptoms resultingfrom medication, and make cer-tain there is a clear understandand written directions on how

and when to take medicine.Make certain to take medicineas it is prescribed.

Remember, the most important

thing in preventing the loss ofvision due to glaucoma is earlydetection. Sight is a precious gift;take good care of it.

Early detection key to mimizing glaucoma

FORT MEADE, Md. — TheMaster Resilience Trainingaspect of Comprehensive

Soldier Fitness is workingwell.That’s the conclusion ofan Army report, releasedlast month, covering a 15-month period of statisticalevaluation.

Comprehensive SoldierFitness, or CSF, waslaunched in 2009 to teachSoldiers how to be psycho-logically strong in the face ofadversity, such as combat.

The program, also availableto family members and DAcivilians, was designed at theUniversity of Pennsylvaniaby behavioral specialistsusing proven research-basedmethodologies.

Within CSF, all Soldiers,active and reserve compo-nent, are required annuallyto take the GlobalAssessment Tool, an onlinequestionnaire which meas-ures a Soldier’s psychologi-cal health. The GAT scoresgive Soldiers an indicator ofwhere they are strong andwhere they can improve.Those needing improvementcould take ComprehensiveResilience Modules, whichare online help tutorials, orseek professional counsel-ing.

GAT scores are confiden-tial but the results areaggregated for statisticalpurposes, such as for use inthe recently releasedLongitudinal Analysis ofthe Impact of MasterResilience Training, orMRT, on Self-ReportedResilience andPsychological Health Data.

MRT is the second aspectof CSF. Master resiliencetrainers are Soldiers andDepartment of the ArmyCivilians who are graduatesof the 10 day MRT-C coursetaught at University ofPennsylvania, VictoryUniversity, or by the MobileTraining Team. They teachleaders to instill resilience insubordinates — meaningthey help fellow Soldierslearn to bounce back fromadversity.

The study evaluatedGAT scores of eight ran-domly selected brigadecombat teams, known asBCTs. Four received MRTand four did not. Over the15-month period, scoresof the four BCTs receivingthe training were signifi-cantly higher than theothers, irrespective ofother variables, such asunit leadership and cohe-sion.

“This report represents asignificant milestone withrespect to theComprehensive SoldierFitness program and theArmy’s broader efforts to

develop a more resilient andcapable force,” wrote ArmyVice Chief of Staff Gen.Peter Chiarelli, in thereport’s forward. “It is myhope that this report willspark fruitful discussions;leading to new andimproved ways, we may helpour Soldiers, Army civiliansand family members toimprove their overall psy-chological health.”

The study has demonstrat-ed that the program is suc-cessful, concluded Brig. Gen.Jim Pasquarette, the CSFprogram director.

“I believe this is some-thing we’re going to haveforever, similar to physicaltraining,”Pasquarette said.“Ithink in the future, evenunder this budget, we’regoing to fund it. We believethis will save us moneythrough prevention(because) it helps ourSoldiers, family membersand Department of theArmy civilians deal withadversity in their life andmore importantly — thrivein their lives.”

career as a civil and miningengineer along the Mexicanborder. He had become flu-ent in Spanish and translat-ed many court documentsand land appraisals. He alsowrote many books and arti-cles that were widely recog-nized. Flipper would rise toprominent positions of lead-ership with the U.S. JusticeDepartment and Senate for-eign relations committee asan expert on Mexican polit-ical relations. Later, hebecame the assistant secre-tary of the Interior, wherehe was chief engineer forthe planning and construc-tion of the Alaska Railwaysystem.

From the moment he wasdismissed from the Army,Flipper fought to clear hisname and have the chargesreversed. He tried to returnto the Army during theSpanish-American War andagain during World War I.Both times his applicationfor reinstatement wasdenied. Only when hishealth declined did he giveup his fight to clear hisname. He moved back toAtlanta and lived with hisbrother until his death in1940. Flipper never married.

But the campaign to clearhis name did not die withhis passing. Several individ-uals renewed the effort inthe 1970s and on Dec.13,1976, the Army granted a

full pardon to Flipper afteran extensive review of hisrecord, and of the testi-monies and proceedings ofthe court-martial. And, in1999 President Bill Clintonpardoned Flipper posthu-mously, thus restoring hisrank and the achievementsof his military career.

Today the Henry O.Flipper Memorial award isgiven to the most outstand-ing cadet at West Point whobest demonstrates leader-ship, self discipline, andperseverance.

Despite Flipper being thefirst black academy graduateand officer in the Army, itremained difficult for otherblack cadets to make itthrough West Point. Between1870 and 1889 only 22 blacksreceived appointments to theacademy. Twelve applicantswere admitted but only threegraduated despite four yearsof discrimination and socialisolation. In addition toFlipper, only two other blackcadets would graduate in the19th century—JohnAlexander, in 1887 and

Charles Young, in 1889. Afourth black wouldn’t gradu-ate from West Point foranother 46 years.

The passing of time haschanged America, and theArmy. The legacy of HenryFlipper lives on in thecareers of distinguishedblack Soldiers and officerswho have served their coun-try despite difficult obsta-cles. Today, there are morethan 300 black cadets atWest Point, preparing to bethe officers and leaders ofthe future Army.

African American womenhave played a vital role inthe history of our nation andour Army since theAmerican Revolution. Theirpatriotism, loyalty and lead-ership, coupled with theirhard work, intellect andartistic expression, haveenriched the AfricanAmerican community andthe nation as a whole. Inslavery and freedom theirstruggles have been at theheart of the human experi-ence, and their fight againstracism and sexism serve asa testament to their perse-verance to overcome adver-sity.

From Harriet Tubman, aleader and conductor ofthe Underground Railroad,to Rosa Parks, the motherof the modern Civil RightsMovement, to First LadyMichelle Obama, thesecourageous women serveas role models for all toemulate. The Army hasalso benefited from theleadership, intelligenceand contributions of theAfrican American womenin our ranks, and today wecelebrate the recent pro-motion of Maj. Gen.Marcia Anderson, theArmy’s first AfricanAmerican female two-star

general and recognizeTracey Pinson, the Army’shighest ranking femaleAfrican American seniorexecutive service member.These women, and somany others, are expres-sions of a vibrant culturein which African Americanwomen play a critical rolein the strength of thisnation and our Army.

We are grateful for thesacrifices and contributionsAfrican American women,Soldiers, civilians, and fami-lies have played in our suc-cess. We encourage theentire Army family to honorpublicly their contributionsby encouraging all leadersfrom across the Army toplan and execute appropri-ate commemorative activi-ties to celebrate AfricanAmerican/Black HistoryMonth.

CERDEC

ABERDEEN PROVINGGROUND, Md. — About 60representatives fromDepartment of Defenseorganizations, nationalorganizations and academiamet last month to discusscurrent human elementsresearch and breakthroughsto determine areas of sharedinterest in the organizations.

The National SecurityAgency, or NSA, sponsored aDepartment of Defenseresearch symposium called“The Human Element,” at theU.S. Army’s Research,Development and EngineeringCommand’s communications-electronics center, or RDE-COM CERDEC, here, to pro-vide an opportunity for people

working in biometrics,brain/computer interface andinteraction, and human lan-guage technology to discussnear-and short-term tech-niques and concepts.

Shared effort and sharedresources were certainly keyconsiderations for the sym-posium, said Ralph Veney,CERDEC Intelligence andInformation WarfareDirectorate’s, or I2WD’s,liaison officer at NSA.

“In a day of diminishingresources it is essential weare good stewards of gov-ernment money and reachacross organizations toleverage the work beingdone by peers and minimizeunnecessary duplication,”hesaid.

This is the fourth sympo-sium hosted by NSA, andthe second at CERDEC

I2WD, where professionalshave gathered to interact ona specific topic.

“There has been a lot oftime spent talking aboutcyber over the past few yearsand less time discussing thedistant, though not too dis-tant, future where the humanbeing becomes part of thenetwork,”said Melvin Currie,research advocate at NSAwho organized and chosethe topics the event.

Measuring brain activity,utilizing iris scans to log intocomputers and identifyingpeople by their voices all fallunder the human elementscategory, said Currie.

Some applications ofhuman elements exist, butmost are not commerciallyviable.

“Movies portray andassume high levels of voicerecognition and high levels ofbiometrics are used, but theyare not necessarily here todayin their final form,” saidThomas Killion, director ofBiometric IdentityManagement Agency and for-mer chief scientist of the Army.

At this point there are nostrategic level plans and mostof the work is being done“researcher to researcher at agrass roots level” where thelarge focus is on the academ-ics of biometrics, said Currie.

Research based on thehuman element doesn’tappear to be disappearingand young people should beencouraged to engage inresearching these topics,said Killion.

The brain-computer inter-face in terms of processingand understanding what peo-ple are thinking about andthe tools of measuring theelectromagnetic functions ofthe brain is a great challengefor young people to come upwith and use breaking edgetechnologies, said Killion.

“There is a lot of workbeing done in academics,”said Currie. “Deans hatchstrategies and organizegroups among similar areasof research. We in govern-ment also need to fosterresearch in this way.”

Government organiza-tions are looking to universi-

ties for help, as many of theresearchers in the humanelements field come fromacademia.

During the symposium newlinkages were established byorganizations that wereunaware previously that com-plementary work was beingdone by others, said Veney.

John Hopkins UniversityApplied Physics Laboratoryand RDECOM ArmyResearch Laboratory sym-posium participantsexpressed a strong interestin beginning collaborativeefforts between the twoorganizations on an area ofmutual interest they discov-ered during the symposium.

Additional relationshipsin the area of human ele-ments were formed also as aresult of the symposium, andit was determined that thereis a need to conduct follow-up talks in each of the threeareas, said Veney.

CERDEC I2WD and NSAwill be looking to collabo-rate on specific areas ofshared interest with biomet-rics, while ARL and NSA

will explore collaboration inareas of mutual interest andthe potential for informationexchanges related to humanlanguage technology.

It was realized during a labdemo for the DistributedCommon Ground Sensors-Army that capabilities exist atanother agency that could beof interest to DCGS technolo-gy development, said Veney.

Participating entities willcontinue to work together tomove forward on human ele-ments research. A futuresymposium may be used tocontinue the momentum andadvance human elementstechnology, said Veney.

The interactions and rela-tionships developed amongresearchers from differentorganizations are the realbenefits of these sympo-siums. These relationshipshave proven themselves tobe long lasting and havegenerated numerous collab-orative efforts among organ-izations beyond the topics ofthe symposiums, said PaulZablocky, CERDEC I2WD’schief scientist.

NATICK, Mass. — NatickSoldier Research,Development, andEngineering Center has con-tracted for several effortswith the American SheepIndustry Association and itssubsidiary, Sheep VentureCompany, to develop, testand evaluate wool fabricsfor combat clothing.

The decision to take asecond look at wool as ahigh-performance fiberwas due to improvisedexplosive device, or IED,issues in Iraq andAfghanistan. Wool, due toits molecular structure, isvery resilient, fire-resistant,has good strength, and isdurable. It dyes very well,retains its color, and hasvery good moisture man-agement properties.

“We can enhance wool’sinherent properties by engi-neering high-performancefiber blends and fabricstructures. It all begins withthe wool fiber fineness,where some breeds of sheepand what they are feddirectly affect the wool fiberdiameter and flexibility,”said Carole Winterhalter,textile technologist forNSRDEC.

“In the military world,Natick is recognized asworking on cutting-edgetechnologies in support ofall Soldiers, Sailors, Airmenand Marines. Work done atNatick is thorough andcredible,” said MitchellDriggers, program managerfor Sheep VentureCompany, or SVC, and gov-ernment contracting con-sultant of the AmericanSheep Industry, known asASI.

“Natick provides the

expertise of textile technol-ogists to engineer opti-mized individual clothingfor the field,” Winterhaltersaid.

In 2009 NSRDEC selectedthree organizations forPhase I Small BusinessInnovation Research con-tracts specifically calling forshrink-resistant treatmentsfor wool. SVC received thePhase II contract and creat-ed different wool shrink-resist techniques throughchemical and enzyme-basedtechnologies. Subsequently,the sheep and wool industryspent its own funds to installa manufacturing line withenergy-efficient equipmentto run the shrink treat-ments.

This line accommodatesmultiple shrink treatmentmethods. SVC’s washablewool line exceeded its pro-duction by more than 40 per-cent in the first year, and thecompany expects to doubleits production this year.

“The work done withNatick Labs is importantbecause ASI is able to betterunderstand the needs of allof the military services,”saidRita Samuelson, wool mar-keting director for ASI.“Together, we can developproducts that are functionaland valuable to our service-men and women.”

ASI, a national tradeorganization supported by45 state sheep associations,represents more than 82,000sheep producers.

“Our ranchers prefer tosell their wool to domesticcompanies, and so we arecontinually looking for waysto increase American woolconsumption at the milllevel,” Driggers said. “Theinnovations of Carole andher team put wool into a

very competitive positionthat should lead to an over-all increase in Americanwool use by the military.Additionally, new productsintroduced to the militaryhave immediate commercialapplications that furtherimprove business for every-one involved with U.S.wool.”

The U.S. wool industryexports about 65 percent ofAmerican-grown raw andsemi-processed wool tooverseas markets, and 10-15percent is used by thedomestic textile industry.The U.S. military usuallyconsumes 20-25 percent; aslight increase will presentsignificant businessimprovements to wool pro-ducers and manufacturers.

“These innovations help todevelop products for nowand the future, to adapt tothe ever-changing needs ofcombat and tap innovationthat is available commercial-ly for developing totally newproducts,” Samuelson said.“The U.S. military is animportant and key customerfor U.S. sheep producers.Having such a large cus-tomer in the U.S. helps tosustain our industry bybuilding demand for ourproduct.”

“So much of the textileindustry has been lost to for-eign countries,” Samuelsonexplained.“But, most impor-tantly, foreign fabrics/wooldecreases the United States’ability to respond locallyand to use U.S. products andworkers.”

“Over the years in a sys-tematic effort, we looked atvarious aspects of the con-cept,”said Winterhalter,“firstdeveloping the camouflagerecipe, then simple fiberblends and fabric construc-tions. Now we’re looking at

long-staple yarns, and woolshrink-resist treatments.”

Spinning long-staple(four-inch) wool intoworsted yarns with Nomexand Kevlar fibers fromDuPont was done throughNSRDEC and SVC for flameresistance and durabilitypurposes.

“We believe we’ll be ableto make a fabric that ismuch stronger with thelong-staple worsted yarns,”Winterhalter said. “We’vealready demonstrated a 20percent increase in yarnstrength over the previousshort-staple yarns.”

Engineering productssuch as fire-resistant, or FR,fabrics is done to meetSoldiers’ needs. Improvingthe protection and other per-formance characteristics ofclothing is important, espe-

cially in Iraq andAfghanistan.

“Through these differentparameters, we can engineerhigh-tech protective clothingmade from environmentallyfriendly natural means,”Winterhalter said. “We hopethese fabrics will be usedacross the board for FRapplications, just as thenylon/cotton blend has beenthe all-purpose combat uni-form fabric.”

SVC was awarded a three-year contract to develop FRfabrics for the future. SVCwill take the aforementionedconcepts and combine them.The company will look atwool and wool blends andsurvey FR fibers from allover the world, as well asgather the various servicesto find out what their FRneeds are, to ultimately pro-duce fabrics and garments

that can be tested for effec-tiveness by service mem-bers.

“Wool does not melt ordrip and has significant fire-resistant qualities, both ofwhich can help protectSoldiers from IEDs,”Samuelson said.

If these fabrics are ulti-mately successful andadopted, future products willbe made entirely in thiscountry with U.S.-grownsheep, as opposed to someexemptions that have beenmade in the past. Wool isbeing revitalized to suit theneeds of the Soldier, and thisgrowing industry might beone of the ways in which theUnited States can continueto create jobs at home toserve those at home andabroad.

Soldiers hone rifleman skills at ranges

By Spc. Steven Bryant214th FiB assistant PAO

2nd Battalion, 5th FieldArtillery will deploy soon toassist and train Afghansecurity forces.

Before any deployment,the Army ensures itsSoldiers are up to date on allcombat training. The 2-5thFA conducted a series of rifletraining exercises Jan. 23through 27 here.

It was led by the ArmyMarksmanship Unit, whosemission is to improve firingtechniques, weapon familiari-ty and accuracy .

Soldiers first attended aseven hour refresher courseby USAMU instructors on

proper weapons handlingand firing. Topics includedcorrect sight alignment, bodyposition and trigger control.

“A common mistake is thatSoldiers will hold their breathbefore a shot,” said USAMUinstructor Sgt. 1st Class DavidSteinbach. “This will cut offneeded oxygen after five toseven seconds and will screwup the shot.”

Soldiers tested out the lat-est laser sights for the M-16and M-4 assault rifles andparticipated in dime-washerdrills, which are used duringbasic combat training.

In the drill, a dime or smallwasher is placed on top of thebarrel of the unloaded M-16.The Soldier then lays down

on his stomach, propping upthe weapon with his or herelbows on the ground.This isknown as the prone position.The Soldier takes aim at apaper target and squeezesthe trigger, causing the rifleto cycle through its firingsequence. If done correctly,the dime or washer willremain on top of the round-ed barrel, despite a heavymetallic bolt slamming for-ward inside.

“The instructors havegiven me some good thingsto think about, and I defi-nitely feel more confidentabout handling myweapon,” claimed Spc. GarryDrake, 2-5th FA.

After classroom instruction,Soldiers went to the shooting

range to apply what theylearned, and to zero theirrifles.

Zeroing is the process ofadjusting and lining up the

viewing hole at the back ofthe weapon with the frontsight post at the end of thebarrel to a Soldier’s unique

sight position. This serves tocreate a more accurate shotas the bullet will now gowhere the shooter is lookinginstead of six inches down

and to the left.When they had zeroed

their rifles, the 2-5th FAtroops tested their skill atthe Automated Field FireRange. At this shootingrange, a sensor measuresthe trajectory of the bulletas it leaves the rifle andtells the spotter sitting nextto the shooter exactlywhere on the target the bul-let landed.An image of the 300 meter

target is projected on the com-puter screen and the spottercan let the shooter know how

he needs to adjust his posi-tion, breathing, or techniques.

Most of the Soldiersenjoyed being out of theclassroom and in a practicalenvironment.

“It’s just good to get moretrigger time,” said first-timedeploying 2nd Lt. BrianLeonhardt, 2-5th FA.

Two days of practice andthe Soldiers were ready fortheir final exam.

At the end of the week-long training, they complet-ed M-16 rifle qualification.Rifle badges ranged fromthe basic marksman, knock-ing down 23 of 40 targets; tosharpshooter, hitting 30 of40 targets; to expert, 36 of 40targets.

“It’s just good toget more triggertime.”2nd Lt. Brian Leonhardt, 2nd

Construction crews are right onschedule building the new Fort SillYouth Center on Fort Sill Boulevardbetween Randolph and Upton roads.

The center is expected to be fin-ished in early summer with a move-in date of Aug. 1.

It replaces a building that datesback to the early 1900s, when itwas constructed as a horse sta-ble.

“The youth center has been agreat facility and we’ve been ableto do a lot of activities for theyoung people at Fort Sill,” saidBrooke Wilson, youth center direc-tor.

While it meets the needs of thestaff and the children they served,with only three large rooms andmultiples uses for each one, theexisting youth center limited howeach program operated and theopportunities for staff to add newactivities.

In contrast, the new facility islarge enough to accommodateevery activity, such as art, a cook-ing club, a technology center and ahomework area; each in its owndesignated room. Further, with theaddition of a multi-purpose room,youths can play basketball or othergames on site instead of walking toHoneycutt Fitness Center. Wilsonsaid this is beneficial to the youthcenter staff and is a safer alterna-

tive than having children walk tothe fitness center.

Also, because the fitness cen-ter closes earlier on Fridays andSaturdays, it’s not available foryouths as the youth center staysopen until 10 p.m. on theseevenings to accommodateyouths and their parents.

“We won’t have to worry aboutlosing teens who want to play bas-ketball; we can keep them at theyouth center, active in our facilityand our programs,” she said. “Thenew center will just bring us up todate, and give us more options totry new things.”

In addition to what the centerstaff can provide within the wallsof their new building, it’s near thevolleyball and tennis courts, thegolf learning center, the NEOS 360outdoor electronic game and sportsfields across Fort Sill Boulevard.

“We kind of have the wholeblock for the youth center,” saidWilson.

For now, fences allow AtlanticMarine Construction and sub-con-tractor personnel to work on thefacility without interference. BrianNaish, AMC project superinten-dent, said there was an initialdelay securing the permit to beginconstruction. Since then, however,work is moving right along.

“We’ve done about 30 dayswork in the last two weeks, soeverything is right back onschedule,” he said.

Driving out the Apache Gate acouple times a week, Wilson pass-es the construction site. As thework progresses, so does her enthu-siasm.

“To see the walls going up andconstruction taking place, we’re allvery excited,”she said.“We look for-ward to moving in and better serv-ing the children of Fort Sill fami-lies.”

The defending post intra-mural basketball championsstepped on the court Jan. 26and they were not leavingwithout a win.

2nd Battalion, 18th FieldArtillery “Mission Ready”accomplished that goal andis inching closer to anothertrophy after defeatingHeadquarters, HeadquartersBattery, 31st Air DefenseArtillery 42-27.

HHB/31st did not go downwithout a fight, as the teamsfuriously traded the ball theentire game.While it seemedlike an even match in thebeginning, 2-18th’s shootersproved to be too much.

With 5:57 left in the first

half Ryan Valentin foundopen court in a sea full ofHHB/31st defenders andmade an easy two to make ita 12-2 2-18th lead. That wasthe closest the score would beall night as 2-18th widenedthe gap to end the first half at25-9.

“We ran the zone becausewe wanted to figure out ifthey had shooters. Once werealized they didn’t haveshooters it was easy pickin’safter that. They had a shoot-er we would’ve switched toman but, zone all day forthem,”said Rasheem Hargett2-18th FA.

Hargett was the high scorerwith 17 points, and whenasked why their team did sowell, he answered: leadership.

“Our strategy was to play

good fundamental defenseand control our turnovers,”said former coach, RonnieBonham, 2-18th FA.

Bonham coached the teamto victory last year but cameout of retirement to hopeful-ly, play them to victory againthis year.

“I love the game. It’s a pas-sion, so I decided to come outone last time,”said Bonham.

SSeeccoonndd hhaallffValentin scored again early

in the second half to findhimself at the free-throw linethrowing down two morepoints. The two teams keptpressing the pace and evenwith a commanding lead of47-22,“Mission Ready”calleda timeout to regroup.

“I saw the game getting

out of control. A little push-ing was going and the guyswere getting away from thestrategy. It seemed like oneof our guys was letting theother players get inside hishead and it kind of got himout of the game a little bit. Ihad to reel them back in,”said Bonham.

With a little over threeminutes left in the game,HHB-31st scored five morepoints to end the game with27 points. 2-18th is now 3-0going into the fourth weekof intramurals.

“We crashed the boardsand made sure we got thedefensive rebound and wegot quite a few offensiverebounds which I thinkhelped us with the victory,”said Bonham.

financial counselor

If your credit card debt bulgesalong with your waist-line during theholiday sea-son, you arelike mostm i l i t a r yfamilies.

The excessp u r c h a s e scan leave youand yourfinances feelingbloated and out of shape.So why not lose that debtthe same way you wouldto work off the excessholiday weight? You canincreasey o u rfinancialfitness bycurbing your spending, limitingpurchases and aggressivelyreducing your debt. Drastic meas-ures for 2012 might actually bethe best cure for your finances.Destroy those credit cards, starve

your buying habits and take timeto figure out why you’re in needof financial rehab.

The following 12-step pro-gram was designed to restoreyour financial health and

encourage you to admit thatyour finances have become

unmanageable:Step 1: Stop spendingmore than you makeThere are two ways to

stay within your means —cut costs and increase rev-

enue.Step 2: Identify

spendinghabits

Get organ-ized, track your

expenses month-ly, and create a

spending planthat works foryou.

Step 3:Avoid the urge to splurge —don’t max out your credit

cardsDon’t carry an excessive bal-

ance on your credit cards. Itwastes money and costs a for-

tune in interest and financecharges.

Step 4: Teach your children to save

Teach your kids age-appropriatefundamentals of money and sav-ing as early as the “gimmies”and “Iwannas”start.

Step 5: Start an emergency fund and save

moreExpect the unexpected and be

prepared to have a minimum ofthree months worth of expenses inan emergency fund.

Step 6: Use credit cards forbenefit, not the penalties

Take advantage of credit cards’rewards programs by only usingyour credit card when you havefunds set aside to pay the balancewhen the bill arrives.

Step 7: Beware of predatorylending laws and high inter-

est loansKnow your options when obtain-

ing personal loans and identifyyour interest rate. Service mem-bers should be aware of the 2007National Defense AuthorizationAct that limits the annual percent-

age on payday loans, vehicle titleloans and tax refund anticipationloans.

Step 8: Prioritize your debt

Make a list of all your debts andprioritize them in order of interest(highest to lowest) or consider thenumber of payments and monthlyobligation until payoff.

Step 9: Reduceyour debt

Use the debt roll down methodto quickly reduce debt. Once yourfirst debt is paid off, roll that pay-ment into the next debt on yourlist. Follow the same proceduresuntil you are completely debtfree.

Step 10: Educate yourself to prevent falling vic-

tim to identity theft

Check your credit report andpurchase a shredder to destroypersonal documents and pre-approval mail solicitations.Increase your awareness of mailand internet scams.

Step 11: Improve your creditreport knowledge

Every consumer is entitled toone free credit report per bureauper year through the Fair CreditReporting Act and these may beobtained at www.annualcreditre-port.com.

Step 12: Relax and experi-ence your financial awakening

Gaining financial freedom isgradual and won’t happenovernight. Don’t get discouragedand reward yourself throughoutthe process.

To reach financial fitness, youmust spend less than you make ona consistent basis. For example,you won’t lose weight if you con-sume more calories than youburn; you won’t save money if youspend more than you earn.Hopefully these steps help yourecuperate from the holiday sea-son, achieve a healthy state offinancial well being and preventyour return to financial rehabnext year.

Let’s talk garden plots thisweek. Garden plots areissued one per family; theymay reserve garden plotassignments at SportsmenServices, Building 1458.

Check-out priority forthose plots will be as follows:

First week (Feb. 6-12) -Active-duty military mayreserve previous year’s plot.

Second week (Feb. 13-19) -Active-duty military mayreserve a new plot.

Third week (Feb. 20-26) -Retired military may reservea plot.

If plots remain after thesethree weeks all others,including those who failedto clear their plot from lastyear, can reserve a plot.

What was that on the lastline? Just like last year, if youfailed to check out after youfinished with your plot lastyear, your name will be on alist and you will not beallowed to sign for a plot untilthe fourth week. That meanseven if you are active-dutyand had a plot last year, butyou failed to clear withSportsmen Services whenyou finished with the plot, youmust wait until the final week-end.

Folks have gotten worseand worse about not clear-ing with us and leaving trash(hoses, sprinklers, fence, etc)in the plots. This makesmore work for those whoprepare the plots each year.

That being said we are mak-ing the culprits wait until allothers have a chance at theplots.

Our garden plots are situat-ed in the 5400 area, just southand east of the GeronimoRoad School. Plots should bemarked by March 1 weatherpermitting. Plots may not beused until they are markedoff by Directorate of PublicWorks personnel.

Gardeners are responsiblefor weed control halfway tothe adjacent plot and main-tenance of their assignedplot until the end of thegrowing season. Failure tocomply will cause loss ofgardening privileges.

Story, PhotosBy Monica Wood,MWR marketing

Fort Sill’s Garrison hostedthe grand opening of thePatriot Club’s beer garden atFinal Friday Jan. 27. Morethan 300 Soldiers, civiliansand spouses turned out forthe event, which includedfree finger food, a cash cube,a hole-in-one putting green,contests for prizes, cigar barand the first look at the newbeer garden.

Final Friday and the garri-son social were mergedtogether this month sincethe event was hosted by theFort Sill Army Garrison andopen to the public.

Col. Paul Hossenlopp, gar-rison commander, invitedgarrison Soldiers, civiliansand their spouses to “takethis opportunity to socializewith other garrison teammembers in a relaxed,friendly environment.”

The beer garden, whichcan seat up to 150 people,can be used for social orinformal gatherings.

“It can be rented out justlike any room in the club,”said Michael Borden,Business OperationsDivision chief. “We built abeer garden at the club toprovide an alternative forpeople who want an outdoorarea to rent for special occa-sions like wedding recep-tions or hail and farewells.”

The beautifully stampedand colored concrete floorand seating area betweenQuinette Pool and the clubhas tall, wrought iron fenc-ing around it and a bar set-up. Construction on the beergarden was completed justbefore Christmas andincludes a new sidewalkleading to the back door andoutside seating.

“We have had requests foran outdoor area available torent for special occasionsbut never had an area thatcould accommodate a largegroup and still be private,”said Borden.

“The money for this andmost Family and Morale,Welfare and Recreation con-struction is generated withinFamily and MWR activities. It

is another quality of life proj-ect to offer to Soldiers, civil-ians and family members sothey have the option of aquality facility to rent forstand-up socials or an infor-mal get-together,”he said.“Weanticipate many peoplechoosing the outdoor area forthe informal patio feel, andbecause smoking is allowed.”

The club beer garden won’tbe open daily,but will be openfor special events, and whencustomers request it insteadof the Backbone or Lanyardlounges, said Borden.

Fort Sill’s other club, theImpact Zone, also has a beergarden which is open dailyand is geared toward dailybar operations.

The next Final Friday willbe hosted by 6th Air DefenseArtillery Feb. 24. It could beheld in the beer gardenagain - weather permitting,said Tonya Upp, Patriot Clubmanager. If the weatherdoesn’t cooperate, it will bein the Backbone Loungedownstairs.
