It was more than déjà vufor the Marine as he loadeda hypervelocity projectile(HVP) into a gun at thePotomac River Test RangeApril 30.

The former artillery bat-tery and battalion com-mander saw first-hand howthe Department of Defense(DoD) is developing game-changing technology.

Minutes later, he heardthe 5-inch, 62-caliber openmount gun boom as it firedthe advanced projectileover the test range.

It was a typical day atthe range with one grandexception.

The Marine loading theHVP was none other thanDeputy Secretary of De-fense Bob Work.

Work visited the Na-val Surface Warfare Cen-ter Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD) to thank ser-vice members and civilians,and to observe the live fireof three guns: the 5-inch,62-caliber open mount testgun; the MK 45 Mod 4 gunsystem; and the electro-magnetic railgun.

Work highlighted theDefense Innovation Initia-tive, a DoD-wide effort tosustain and advance Ameri-ca’s military dominance forthe 21st century.

Moreover, he empha-

sized the importance ofinvesting in innovation,reforming the defense en-terprise, and maintainingU.S. technological superi-ority.

“We continue to im-

prove current capabilitieswhile we also identify newtechnologies and waysof fighting to bolster ouroperational advantages,”said Work. “Though thereis much prototyping and

demonstrating left to do,the implications for the fu-ture are game-changing.”

During his visit, Workwitnessed the first time an

Write about what you know - asage piece of advice often given toaspiring authors and one that hasserved former Dahlgren librarianAmy Lilly well. Her love of writ-ing and career as a librarian haveproduced two books with anoth-er on the way about murder andromance in a small town library.Lilly will be returning to the NavalSupport Facility (NSF) DahlgrenGeneral Library for a book signingMay 15 at 4 p.m. to share her writ-ings with the community.

“It reminds me in a way of theAngela Lansbury series ‘Murder

She Wrote,’” Lilly laughs as shedescribes her debut novel. “Myheroine Phee Jefferson- like Lans-bury’s character Jessica Fletcher -is an everyday person, a librarianin fact, who accidently stumblesinto solving crimes.

“I have always been interestedin writing but hadn’t been suc-cessful at translating them intoprint until this past November,when I took part in an annualchallenge from ‘NaNoWriMo’ -National Novel Writing Month,”she continued. “Basically, youwrite about 1,700 words a dayand complete a 50,000-wordnovel in a month. I thought ‘I cando that.’”

With the help of a friend, who

read each day what she wrote, Lil-ly was able to complete her firstnovel “Death is Long Overdue”

during that challenge. “She keptme honest.” Lilly said. “She wouldsay - ‘your character wouldn’tsay it like that!’ It was wonderfulhaving that immediate input.”

Dahlgren Motorcycle Safety Day

Motorcycle riders at NSF Dahlgren held a safety day event at the Base Theater on May 8. Riders participated in a safety brief and safety check of motor-cycles, then went on a group ride to Fredericksburg and back to the base. Military riders are required to take a motorcycle safety course to ride on thebase. The course is also open to civilian employees who’d like to participate. Contact your command Motorcycle Safety Coordinator for more info, orcall 540-653-3665.


In a month where wecelebrate National Mili-tary Spouse AppreciationDay, it would be remissnot to take note of a fewof the exceptional militaryspouses who have volun-teered to serve their com-munity in key roles. TheNavy Ombudsman Pro-gram is an integral partof incorporating the vitalrole the military spouseperforms in the command;Donna Carter, Aegis Train-ing and Readiness Center(ATRC) ombudsman andLaura Ludwig, the NavalSupport Activity South Po-tomac (NSASP) ombuds-man exemplify the serviceand dedication required ofthe military spouses.

In the role of ombuds-man, both Carter and Lud-wig are required to attendongoing specialized train-ing to serve as a liaisonbetween the commandand the families within. Intheir role, they keep theirrespective commands

abreast of the needs andconcerns in the commu-nity, as well as helping thecommunity navigate theins and outs of military lifeand transitioning into thecommand. The ombuds-man also play a major rolein assisting the single Sail-ors in adjusting to base lifeand support their extend-ed families, many of whomare eager for informationto help support their ser-vice members as well.

“I am essentially thego-to ‘Google app’ forneeds in the local commu-nity,” Ludwig explains. “Imay not always know theinformation first hand, butI know where to find it.”

There are numeroussupport avenues avail-able to military familymembers; the difficultyis often knowing whereto find it. The ombuds-man’s role is to facilitatelocating assistance andoffering support in timesof need to spouses andfamily members. It is thatsupport in times of crisisthat often encourages aspouse to become part of

the ombudsman program.For Carter, the 2010 earth-quake and tsunami in Ja-pan motivated her with adesire to help.

“It was during the 2010earthquake and tsunamithat I learned how invalu-able ombudsman were,”said Carter. “I would saythat played a part in mymotivation to become one.Being mentored by twowonderful ombudsmen

made the decision eveneasier.”

For Ludwig, NSASPis her second tour as anombudsman. “The firstwas nearly 10 years agoat [Strategic Communica-tions Wing One] in Okla-homa. I decided to stepinto the role because ofmy passion for volunteer-ing and helping others,especially fellow militaryfamilies. After serving in

multiple board positionswith the USS Nassau fam-ily readiness group (FRG)alongside our ombuds-man, I knew that was arole I would be interestedin filling at the commandin Oklahoma which didnot have an FRG.”

Carter and Ludwigagree that one of the mostimportant aspects of beingsuccessful in a transitionto both military life as wellas upon arrival at a new fa-cility, is getting involved inthe community as soon aspossible, whether throughvolunteering or takingadvantage of the manyresources offered by thecommand.

“Take the time to findout everything you canabout your new duty sta-tion from the local hous-ing market to informationon schools and places toshop for groceries,” Lud-wig offered. This advicewill help with successfullynavigating a new com-mand and role.

Another sage piece ofadvice from Carter cen-tered on the importance of

asking for assistance, “Yes,military spouses can han-dle almost everything, butwe also need to rememberwe can’t do it all,” she said.“Ombudsman are here as aresource and we are unde-rutilized at times.”

As we celebrate theMonth of the MilitaryFamily, remember thatyour ombudsman arehere for you as you sup-port your service member;they look forward to mak-ing your role as spouseand family member assuccessful as possible.Both Carter and Ludwigalso emphasized that theyare here for the singleSailors as well to providesupport and informationto the Sailors and theirextended families. Tocontact Donna Carter, theATRC ombudsman, youcan call (540) 850-1162or email her at [email protected]. NSASPOmbudsman Laura Lud-wig (covering both Dahl-gren and Indian Head),can be reached at [email protected].

A community forumhosted at the Univer-sity of Mary Washing-ton’s Dahlgren Campuson June 11 will feature apanel discussion focusedon the impact of WorldWar II on Dahlgren andthe surrounding commu-nity.

Held in the UMWDahlgren Campus’ Uni-versity Hall, the commu-nity forum will be open tothe public and offered atno charge. The event willbegin at 4:30 p.m. with aninformal reception andthe program will begin at5 p.m.

The Dahlgren HeritageFoundation is target-ing 2015 as a year-longopportunity to observethe 70th anniversary ofthe end of World War IIthrough the lens of theinnovations and technol-ogy developed and testedby the U.S. Navy at Dahl-gren, Va. that helped de-termine the outcome ofthat war and continue tobe critical to the tacticaland strategic capabilitiesto U.S. armed services to-day and into the future.

The centerpiece of thisyear-long commemora-tion will be a series ofquarterly community fo-rums hosted at the UMWDahlgren Campus. TheJune 11 forum opens theseries with a guest panelthat includes ElizabethLee, president of the KingGeorge Historical Soci-ety; Ann Swope, former

environmental scientist,safety and environmentaldirector and chief of stafffor Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Divi-sion; Ira West, a math-ematician who workedin exterior ballistics,geoballistics and anti-submarine warfare andheaded both the SystemsSimulation and Opera-tional Support Branchesof Dahlgren Division’sStrategic Systems Depart-ment prior to his retire-ment in 1990; and GladysWest, a programmer withDahlgren Division forlarge-scale computersand project manager fordata processing systemsused in the analysis ofsatellite data. Prior to herretirement in 1998, herwork contributed to thedevelopment of the mod-ern Global PositioningSystem.

The panel will bemoderated by Ed Jones,president of the Dahl-gren Heritage Founda-tion. And special guestremarks will be providedby Capt. Mary Feinberg,commanding officer forNaval Support ActivitySouth Potomac.

The World War II com-memorative program-ming of 2015 will alsoprovide a platform for theFoundation to preparefor the centennial of theNavy base at Dahlgrenin 2018. The Foundationanticipates that the Dahl-gren Heritage Museum

will factor into the base’scentennial observanceand will serve as helpfulcatalyst not only to tellthe history of Dahlgren,but also to promote itsfuture.

The Dahlgren HeritageMuseum will host specialopenings and programsto coincide with the quar-terly community forums.Plans are underway toshowcase special exhibitsat the museum and coor-dinate with military com-mands on Naval SupportFacility (NSF) Dahlgrenfor public tours of thebase.

Additionally, the mu-

seum plans to host astudent STEM (science,technology, engineeringand math) activity andstudent tour of the base.

The goal of the Foun-dation is to generate apublic understanding ofthe impact the U.S. Navybase at Dahlgren andthe surrounding com-munity has had in usingscience and technologyto strengthen nationaldefense, particularlythrough support for warf-ighters.

Dahlgren’s function asthe Navy’s principal prov-ing ground at the outsetof World War II provided

a critical capability forproofing and testing ev-ery major naval gun andall ammunition suppliedto the Fleet to directly in-fluence and support forcereadiness throughout theglobal conflict.

Dahlgren’s ballisticranges, coupled with thescientific and techni-cal expertise resident atthe base at the outset ofWorld War II, played animportant role in the na-tion’s development of itsfirst atomic weapon de-livery system.

Dahlgren’s ballisticranges continue to pro-vide a unique capability

for proofing and testingevery major naval gunand Fleet ammunition,as well as supportingRDT&E and proof testingfor leading-edge weaponssystems for Navy and oth-er U.S. armed services.

The siting of the NavalOrdnance Relay Calcu-lator (NORC) computerand further evolutions ofcomputer systems em-ployed at Dahlgren havebeen key to developmentof leading-edge ballisticsresearch, space geodesyand space surveillance,and computer/ weaponsystems integration, andhave provided essen-tial operational supportto Navy and other U.S.armed forces on bothstrategic and tactical lev-els.

Today, Dahlgren hasgrown to serve as home tomultiple DoD commandsthat execute a broadspectrum of scientific andresponse-force missionsserving all branches ofthe U.S. armed services.

NSF Dahlgren makesa significant economiccontribution to the localcommunity and the in-stallation’s military com-mands, as a whole, serveas the largest employerin King George County,and one of the largestemployers in the greaterFredericksburg area.

Forum to recount impact of the War Years on Dahlgren and region

Through the course ofwriting the book, six ofLilly’s coworkers at theRaleigh County Public Li-brary ate lunch and editedtogether; by the end of themonth she had around 15people who were readingalong with her.

In light of the suc-cess Lilly has enjoyed sofar with her first release,it would seem that thefeedback she was receiv-ing was spot on. “Death isLong Overdue” was an in-dependent release throughIngraham Publishing andis also doing well on Ama-zon.com. This first suc-cess has prompted Lilly tocontinue with her heroinein a second novel that wasreleased in April, “SummerReading is Killing Me!”

This second novel fea-tures a familiar characterto Lilly, one whom she isespecially excited to sharewith her Dahlgren read-

ers. “My husband Den-nis has been at Dahlgrenfor 32 years and we havemade some wonderfulfriends there, includingZiggy (Anthony Zieglerat Gray’s Landing on thePotomac).” Lilly explains.“Ziggy and I had been talk-ing on Facebook about mynew novel and he jokedthat I needed to base acharacter on him; I toldhim ‘be careful what youwish for’.” The character- Ziegfried - is the antago-nist to Phee’s love inter-est in the series- the localsheriff. “His character ismaking a comeback in thebook three as well,” Lillypromised.

She encourages aspir-ing writers of all ages atDahlgren to participate inthe NaNoWriMo challengethis coming Novemberand is currently workingon the third installment ofher series, “PermanentlyDelated.” Informationabout the challenge canbe found at http://nanow-rimo.org/.

Center for Surface Combat Systems(CSCS) announced its Civilian of theQuarter (COQ) for the first quarter of2015 at an awards ceremony at the Ar-leigh Burke auditorium onboard NavalSupport Facility Dahlgren Apr. 23.

“I was astounded when I first re-ceived the news,” said Human Re-sources (HR) Liaison Ms. Karen Mar-tin. “I work with a great team and I’mvery grateful for this award.”

Martin has been part of the man-power and personnel team since Jun.2010.

“I love my job,” she said. “I feelthat the work I do positively impactsthe CSCS community. I provide hu-man resources policy oversight, I amresponsible for recruiting, staffingand placement, and manage awardsand classification of civilian positionsfor headquarters and its 14 learningsites.”

Martin’s supervisor, Mr. Scott Rus-sell, director for Manpower and Per-sonnel, nominated her for the award.

“Karen has given so much to thisorganization,” Russell explained. “Ev-ery day she arrives prepared to make adifference and she has. This particu-lar quarter, she exceeded all expecta-tions and is most certainly deserving

of this award. Karen has provided thedomain with outstanding HR servicesand we are quite fortunate to have herat CSCS.”

CSCS’ mission is to develop anddeliver surface ship combat systemstraining to achieve surface warfaresuperiority. CSCS headquarters’ staffoversees 14 learning sites and providesnearly 70,000 hours of curriculum for700 annually courses to more than40,000 Sailors. CSCS delivers special-ized training for Officer and EnlistedSailors required to tactically operate,maintain, and employ shipboard andshore-based weapons, sensors, andcommand and control systems utilizedin today’s navy.

HVP was fired from the MK45 Mod 4 gun system.

“It was an honor to dem-onstrate the HVP’s launchcompatibility with thisgun system for the DeputySecretary of Defense,” saidNSWCDD CommanderCapt. Brian Durant. “Thisis the first step toward in-tegrating the hypervelocityprojectile into the Navy’sMK 45 Mod 4 gun system.”

The MK 45 Mod 4 gunsystem — the current gunsystem deployed on theNavy’s newest ships — en-hances Naval Surface FireSupport capabilities andprovides fire mission flex-ibility for anti-surface andanti-air warfare.

The HVP — combinedwith the MK 45 — will sup-port various mission areasincluding naval surface firesupport, and has the ca-pacity to expand to a vari-ety of anti-air threats, anti-surface, and could expandthe Navy’s engagement op-tions against current andemerging threats.

At the electromagneticrailgun facility, the deputysecretary of defense wit-nessed a shot in the com-missioning series of thenew repetitive-rate me-dium caliber electromag-

netic railgun, sponsoredby the Office of Naval Re-search.

“This gun will serve asa laboratory research de-vice for experiments onrepetitive-rate bore life,instrumentation, and con-trols development,” saidNSWCDD Technical Di-rector Dennis McLaugh-lin who, along with Du-rant, accompanied Workthroughout his visit. “Weuse smaller caliber rail-guns for risk reductionbefore testing conceptsin major caliber. This sci-ence and technology effortis targeting repetitive-ratelauncher and pulse-powerrisk reduction to ensuresuccessful railgun weaponsystem demonstrations.”

Electromagnetic railguntechnology uses an electro-magnetic force— known asthe Lorenz Force — to rap-idly accelerate and launcha projectile between twoconductive rails. The guid-ed projectile is launched atsuch high velocities that itcan achieve greater rangesthan conventional guns. Itharnesses enough kineticenergy that it doesn’t re-quire any kind of high ex-plosive payload when itreaches its target.

High-energy electromag-netic railguns are expected

to be lethal and effectiveagainst multiple threats,including enemy warships,small boats, air targets andland-based targets.

“The deputy secretaryof defense saw capabilitiesthat are crucial in sustain-ing our warfighting edgeand technological superi-ority,” said Durant. “Hy-pervelocity projectiles firedfrom powder guns and theelectromagnetic railgunare important technolo-gies in the Navy’s mixed ar-senal of current and futureweapons.”

The electromagneticrailgun technology willcomplement current ki-netic weapons currentlyaboard surface combatantsand offer a few specific ad-vantages.

It represents an “incred-ible new offensive capabil-ity for the U.S. Navy,” saidNavy Chief Engineer RearAdm. Bryant Fuller in anApril 2014 news releaseabout plans to install andtest a prototype electro-magnetic railgun aboard ajoint high speed vessel infiscal year 2016. “This capa-bility will allow us to effec-tively counter a wide-rangeof threats at a relativelylow cost, while keeping ourships and Sailors safer.”

The cost per engage-

ment against specificthreats is orders of mag-nitude less expensive thancomparable missile en-gagements. The railgunprojectile is being designedto enable the conservationof expensive missiles foruse against more complexthreats.

“NSWCDD will leverageits knowledge of electro-magnetic launchers, hy-pervelocity projectiles, anddirected energy weapons,as well as its establishedcore capabilities in com-plex warfare systems devel-opment and integration,”to incorporate electricweapons technology intoexisting and future fightingforces and platforms, stat-ed McLaughlin and Durantin NSWCDD’s 2015-2020Strategic Plan.

NSWCDD, a NAVSEAwarfare center division,is a premier research anddevelopment center thatserves as a specialty sitefor weapon system inte-gration. The command’sunique ability to rapidlyintroduce new technologyinto complex warfightingsystems is based on itslongstanding competen-cies in science and tech-nology, research and de-velopment, and test andevaluation.

Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac’s command-ing officer talked aviation,education and service togroup of likeminded youngpeople and adults duringher visit to the Civil Air Pa-trol’s (CAP’s) Charles Coun-ty Composite Squadron atthe Maryland Airport onMay 4. Capt. Mary Feinbergdoesn’t often get a chancediscuss flying now that shecommands two Navy instal-lations, but her career as anaviator, and in particular hertour with Antarctica Devel-opment Squadron Six (VXE-6), kept the group leaning inand asking questions.

Established in 1941, theCAP is the U.S. Air ForceAuxiliary and supportsemergency services, cadetprograms and aerospace ed-ucation. The Charles Com-posite Squadron is one of 27CAP squadrons and flightsin the state of Maryland.

Feinberg began by dis-cussing her career and howit has changed over theyears. “Before I was flyingdesks-and that isn’t goingaway anytime soon-I wasnavigating aircraft,” she

said. As an aviator, Fein-berg traveled the world andshared photos of her experi-ences with the cadets.

In reality, she explained,her Navy career began longbefore she put on a uniform.“My father drove ships for theNavy and mymother was ac-

tually in the Navy when shemetmy father. As I was grow-ing up, my father used to tellme that I should go into themilitary. I told him I neverwanted to be in the military;I never wanted to wear a uni-form or a hat on my head.”

After completing high

school and college, Fein-berg reconsidered that posi-tion. “Well, parents typicallyknow what’s best for you,”she said. “Even if you’renot really listening to them,you’ll probably end upwhere they thought you’dbe a good fit.”

Feinberg’s Navy journeybegan when she enlistedand served as an air trafficcontroller at a flight train-ing facility. The more shehelped train aviators, how-ever, the more she wantedto be an aviator. She appliedto become an aviation of-

ficer and learned that shehad been accepted when herbase commanding officeroffered to take her flying. “Iwas thrilled,” she said.

Going through aviationofficer candidates school,Feinberg learned the impor-tance of attention to detailand encouraged the cadetsto practice it. “Why do youguys think attention to de-tail is so important?” sheasked.

“One small mistake couldmess up the whole aircraft,”quickly answered one cadet.

“Absolutely,” Feinbergreplied. “You don’t deviatefrom the checklist. Atten-tion to detail is absolutelycritical, even to you your ev-eryday life.”

Attention to detail wasespecially critical for Fein-berg in Antarctica, whereshe navigated LC-130 air-craft around the continentin support of the NationalScience Foundation. Besidethe interesting photos oforcas surfacing in a hole inthe ice and a very large, veryfriendly emperor penguin,Feinberg spoke about thespecific aviation challenges.“We would haul scientists

Outstanding Public WorksPersonnel Recognizedand Indian Head at any

given time.An immediate mis-

sion that he is support-ing is one that NDWRegional Deputy FireChief Michael Murrayhas been working onfor some time. It is a de-partmental goal to getnew people on boardto lighten the load onthe current personneland Burrough is lookingforward to adding newteam members.

Another task for Bur-rough is to ensure thatimprovements to thefire station at Dahlgrenor the establishmentof a new station is nearthe top of the list of basepriorities. He wants sta-tion crew to have safeand functional loca-tions from which theycan continue their out-standing service. Criti-cal to this task is focus-ing on the latest regu-

lations and mandates,and identifying anyshortfalls. From there,Burrough would like tobuild to accommodatethose new needs and tomeet the future chal-lenges of emergencyservices.

“In this day andage of budgetary con-straints, it is vital thatwe are able to fall backon the research anddata that supports theimportance of our mis-sion,” Burrough empha-sized. “We really have toshow our leadership theimportance and scopeof our job, in addition toresponding to dispatch.”

One of the interest-ing aspects of this newpost to Burrough is thenumber of volunteersassociated with this or-ganization. “It is notuncommon for the localmunicipalities to showup on a call and I seefull time employees ofour department who are

working just as hard intheir capacity as volun-teers,” he said. “Theseguys really live, breathand work emergencyservices. There is a greatrelationship that SouthPotomac Fire and Emer-gency Services shareswith the organizationsoutside the gates andthose roots run deep. Iam very impressed withthat relationship and Ilook forward to movingforward with that.

“I am also very for-tunate” Burrough con-tinued, “in that higherabove me there is a clearvision for all of the dis-tricts in the region. Ithink it’s up to me tohelp move this orga-nization forward and Iam ready for the task. Iknow there is going tobe a great deal of workin the next year or so toaccomplish these goals,and I am up for the chal-lenge. I don’t quit and Ialways ring the bell!”

and their equipment aroundto test the environment, theatmosphere, the rocks, thesnow and the ice,” she said.“[The scientists] would tellus where they wanted to go;we’d pick a spot [to land]and fly around to make sureit was safe.”

The pilots had to maketwo perpendicular passeson the landing area with therear wheels down beforethey could be sure the sitewas safe. “There are a lotof crevasses, a lot of valleys

that could potentially openup and swallow people,”she said. “Then we wouldland the aircraft. We wouldnever shut down the en-gines because it was so colddown there, they would notrestart.”

Feinberg spent the re-mainder of the visit takingquestions from the cadetsand their adult leadership,whose curiosity was obvious.What is life like on a ship?How does a military careeraffect family life? What isit like to be a woman in themilitary? What college didyou go to? What made youwant to become an officer?Do you recommend that

young people join the Navy?Feinberg answered each

question and on the lat-ter, encouraged the cadetsto keep their options openby applying themselves atschool. Of course, she alsoadmitted that she was alittle biased on the matter.“I’m partial to the Navy andit is my favorite service, butyou know, we are all oneteam,” she said. “We allcontribute to the safety ofthis country.”

After Charles CompositeSquadron thanked Feinbergand presented her with acake, the curiosity and con-versations continued intothe evening.
