Serving the U.S. Southern Command military family in South Florida,the Carribean, Central and South America and the surrounding seas
Volume 1 Issue 1 January 25, 2011
Col. Scott Malcom
SOUTHCOM Director of Public Affairs
Welcome to the inaugural edition ofNOSOTROS, an internal U.S. SouthernCommand publication designed to provide
information to the entire team personnel
at the headquarters and in the Garrison,
components, MIL Groups and Defense/Security Cooperation Offices as well as our
Family members.
NOSOTROS is primarily
a means of connecting you
with important information
from South Florida, Latin
America and the Caribbean
wherever SOUTHCOM
operates. It fuses the former
U.S. Army Garrison-Mi-
ami publication Garrison
Matters and SOUTH-
COMs Spotlight. NO-
SOTROS will also feature
important military infor-
mation like the article
in this edition on updated
benets of the Post-9/11
GI Bill on page 3.
Using the Spanish word
for We (Nos in Por-
tuguese) is a way to ac-
count for the predomi-
nant language in our area
of responsibility and capture the spiritof teamwork in our organization. More than
anything else, the word captures the essence of
SOUTHCOM Partnership.
SOUTHCOM partners with the cities of South
Florida. We partner with USAG-Miami and our
component commands. We partner with other
U.S. Government agencies, with foreign gov-
ernments and their militaries. We partner with
NORTHCOM and the Joint Staff, and with our
MILGRPs and Defense Ofces in our AOR
countries. Partnering, its what We do.
We designed the NOSOTROS logo to capture
the spirit and intent of publications mission. Its
design reects the diversity and unique aspects
of where SOUTHCOM does business. The in
terpretations of the word NOSOTROS above the
ag represent the four predominant languages we
use to conduct business (English, Spanish, Por
tuguese and Creole). The red in NOSOTROS re
ects the warmth and vitality of our climate and
cultures, theblue in the background reects thewaters which connect us. Finally, the manos
symbol on the edge of the logo reects
the ancient indig
enous peoples ar
tistic symbol tha
is emblematic o
the handshake o
friendship we have
with our partner
nations. Were
here to com
partir (share) i
all of this with
everyone in our
community.
In order to do
this, we want to
hear from you
regularly to learn
what you like, dis
like, and want to
see in NOSOTROS
Weve established a
feedback site for you
to communicate withus by providing comments about the publication
new story ideas, announcements and photos from
you and your colleagues activities in your neck
of the woods. The idea is to continually improve
NOSOTROS, expanding with quality conten
that incorporates stories and information from
all the entities of the SOUTHCOM enterprise in
order to better inform each other about the width
and breadth of our total package.
Please join us in getting the word out and star t
ing an ongoing conversation about life in our
SOUTHCOM community!
4th Fleet Public Affairs
Recently, a U.S. Coast Guard
boarding team and Navy crew
members operating from the
USS Doyle (FFG 39) discov-
ered more than 600 kilos of
cocaine during counter-illicit
trafcking operations in the
U.S. 4th Fleet AOR.
The illegal production andtrafcking of drugs under-
mines security and stability in
Latin America and the Carib-
bean and threatens U.S. nation-
al security. The threat can only
be combated through coopera-
tion and collaboration between
partner nations.

DORAL, Fla. U.S. Southern Com-
mand held a rst All-Hands meeting in its
brand new headquarters Jan. 12, lling the
gymnasium with nearly 1,000 Soldiers,
Sailors, Marines, Airmen, civilian em-
ployees and contractors.
Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, SOUTH-
COM Commander, took the opportunity to
share his focus for 2011 and look back on
the one year anniversary of the earthquake
in Haiti that killed 300,000 and displaced
1/3rd of the population.Many of us remember where we were
when it happened, and where we were for
quite some time afterward, he said, in-
dicating the older, smaller headquarters
building to the east.
Fraser praised the many long hours
worked by the members of SOUTHCOM
coordinating the military response in sup-
port of the interagency and international
relief effort, noted the augmentation by
more than 800 additional staff; and led a
moment of silence for SOUTHCOMs sac-
rice to that mission, in the form of Lt. Col.
Ken Bourland who perished in the collapse
of the Hotel Montana.
Frasers shared vision included the reali-
ties of budget limitations and the manningand funding changes they may bring.
The Secretary of Defense has a signi-
cant effort underway to take ability out of
the tail and move it into the tooth, he said.
We will have to take a look at what we
can and cant do; there are a lot of changes
coming throughout the Department of De
fense.
Inevitably, with a new year comes the
return of hurricane season. The command
is prepared to face it, he noted, in a facil-
ity that can withstand a Category 5 storm
Fraser asked for everyones assistance in
keeping the workplace up to standards so
that it lasts well into the future.
Its been a privilege this last year to
serve with you, Fraser said. We havegreat partners and great relationships with
the militaries throughout the region tha
is a tribute to each and every one of you
I look forward to a very prosperous, and
uneventful but focused 2011.

and nations to detect, monitor, and sup-
port the interdiction, disruption or curtail-
ment of present and emerging drug-related
threats in its area of focus. All efforts are
in concert with the National Drug Control
Strategy.
Detection and monitoringThe Department of Defense is the lead
federal agency in efforts to detect and
monitor aerial and maritime transit of il-
legal drugs towards the United States.
The Key West, Fla.-based Joint Inter-
agency Task Force-South is the SOUTH-
COM agency that serves as the catalyst for
integrated and synchronized interagency
counter drug operations, and is respon-
sible for the detection and monitoring of
suspect air and maritime drug activity in
the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and
the eastern Pacic. JIATF-South also col-
lects, processes, and disseminates counter
drug information for interagency and part-
ner nation operations.
In ActionDoyle intercepted the 60-foot long sh-
ing vessel Rio Tuira in international waters
of the Eastern Pacic Ocean approximately180 miles off the coast of Panama.
A Navy-Coast Guard boarding team
recovered 22 bales of cocaine, weighing
approximately 499 kilos (1,100 pounds)
worth an estimated $15.4 million.
The drugs were seized by a U.S. Coast
Guard Law Enforcement Detachment from
Tactical Law Enforcement Team South.
Five suspected smugglers were taken into
custody. Criminal prosecution of this case
will be shared between the United States
and Panama.
Doyle is currently deployed under opera
tional control to U.S. Naval Forces South-
ern Command/C4F, conducting CIT oper
ations in support of Joint Interagency Task
Force South, U.S. Southern Command
and U.S. Coast Guard District 11.
COMUSNAVSO conducts a variety o
missions in support of the U.S. Maritime
Strategy, including theater security coop
eration, partnership building, humanitar
ian assistance and disaster response, com
munity relations and CIT operations.

FMWRC Public Affairs
ALEXANDRIA, Va. The
Army Family Action Plan has
once again proved invaluable
for Soldiers and Families.As of Jan. 21, eligible en-
listed Family members will re-
ceive 36 months of Transitional
Compensation, the same as of-
cer Family members, rather
than the average of 22 months
of payments they formerly re-
ceived. This ensures payments
are standardized for all ap-
proved applications.
Transitional Compensation
is a congressionally authorized
program. The TC benets helpease the transition from mili-
tary to civilian life by provid-
ing temporary payments and
benets for Families in which
a Soldier has been court-mar-
tialed or is being administra-
tively separated from the Army
because of a dependent-abuse
offense such as domestic or
child abuse.
The difference in duration of
compensation between Family
members of enlisted and of-
cers was an anomaly of the
program, and was based solely
on the Soldiers rank.
The current change is a direct
result of Army Family ActionPlan Issue #540, Duration of
Transitional Compensation for
Abused Dependents, which
surfaced in 2003.
After Army senior leaders
reviewed numerous recom-
mendations, queries and cost
analyses, a revision to Army
Regulation 608-1, Army Com-
munity Service Center, became
a reality.
The Family and Morale, Wel-
fare and Recreation Commandmanages the Armys TC Pro-
gram and began authorizing
TC payments in August 1995.
The Army recognizes domes-
tic and child abuse may be an
unfortunate symptom of stress
on the force that needs to be
positively addressed and mini-
mized. The Installation Man-
agement Community focuses
on providing standardized, ef-
fective Family readiness pro-
grams and services to ensure
Soldiers and Families can enjoy
a quality of life commensurate
with their level of service and
sacrice to the nation.
Quality programs can great-
ly improve the well being of
Soldiers and Families and re-
duce incidents of abuse, said
Chief Lt. Col. Nancy Rufn,
FMWRC Army Family Ad-
vocacy Program Chief. Our
challenge is to provide aware-
ness and access to the available
programs and services.
Nothing is more important
than ensuring the well being of
our Soldiers and Families our
most precious resource, Ruf-
n said.
The Army Family Action
Plan is a year-round program
that begins at the installation
or unit level. It is the Armysgrassroots process to identify
and elevate the most signicant
quality of life issues impact-
ing Soldiers (all components),
Retirees, DA Civilians, and
Families to senior leaders for
action.
The Department of the Ar-
my-level AFAP conference
takes place Jan. 31 Feb. 4 in
Northern Virginia to review
over 90 issues elevated from
mid-level AFAP conferences
At the end of the conference
the Vice Chief of Staff of the
Armyalong with the Assis
tant Chief of Staff for Instal
lation Management, Lt. Gen
Rick Lynchwill be briefed
on the 16 new issues prioritized
by the delegates.
AFAP is the preeminen
means for commanders at al
levels to learn about and seek
solutions for the concerns of
their communities. The chang
es made through the AFAP
process unique in all military
branches foster a satised
informed, and resilient Army
community.
To date, nearly 700 AFAP
issues have resulted in 123
legislative changes, 172 Army
and Ofce of the Secretary o
Defense policy changes, and192 changes to programs and
services.

MAYPORT, Fla. (NNS) Dock Land-
ing Ship USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44),along with an embarked U.S. Marine
Corps Theater Security Cooperation Task
Force (SCTF) and a U.S. Navy staff ele-
ment from Destroyer Squadron 40, depart-
ed Naval Station Mayport, Fla., Jan. 16.
The ship will begin a two-month de-
ployment to the U.S. Southern Command
(USSOUTHCOM) area of responsibility
(AOR) in support of Amphibious-Southern
Partnership Station (A-SPS) 2011.
Southern Partner Station is an annual de-
ployment of various specialty platforms to
the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility
(AOR) in the Caribbean and Latin Ameri-
ca. The missions primary goal is informa-
tion sharing with navies, coast guards, and
civilian services throughout the region.
Commander, Destroyer Squadron Four
Zero, Capt. Brian Nickerson, will serve
as the mission commander for A-SPS 11
while the Sailors and Marines conduct
subject matter expert exchanges (SMEEs)
with partner nations in the region. During
the deployment, Gunston Hall will visit
Belize, Columbia, Guatemala and Jamai-
ca.
This is a great opportunity to exchangeinformation and build cooperative partner-
ships, said Capt. John Meier, USS Gun-
ston Hall commanding ofcer. Although
were a ghting force, were also a force for
goodwill.
Led by Lt. Col. Paul Baker, TSCTF is
made up of elements from Marine Wing
Support Squadron 271, Second Tank Bat-
talion, Second Assault Amphibian Bat-
talion and Second Marine Expeditionary
Force. The Marines will conduct SMEEs,
which allow for joint operations between
partner nations, including live re exer-
cises, search and rescue, martial arts, land
navigation and combat marksmanship, in
order to develop regional, civil and mari-
time services capabilities to respond to
a variety of maritime missions while ex-
ercising lines of communication between
regional security services.
Gunston Hall is also prepared to provide
rst-responder capabilities in the event
of any disaster relief response while de-
ployed to the region.
In addition, Gunston Hall will be trans-
porting 89 Project Handclasp pallets, a
well as gifts donated by various non-gov-ernmental organizations including Loving
Hugs, Inc., Give a Kid a Backpack and Sa
maritans Feet.
These gifts will be given out to children
as they come in contact with Marines and
Sailors, said Cmdr. Lewis Preddy, Com
mander, U.S. Fourth Fleet Project Hand
clasp coordinator.
This (mission) is something that I am re
ally looking forward to, and it will be very
rewarding, said Logistics Specialist 3rd
Class Johan Sanchez, a Gunston Hall sup-
ply petty ofcer who was born and raisedin Colombia. I am happy to be going back
to Colombia, my home country, and giv
ing these things to the people and children
who need them.
Project Handclasp is a U.S. Navy pro
gram that accepts and transports educa
tional, humanitarian and goodwill mate
rial on a space-available basis aboard U.S
Navy ships for distribution to foreign na
tions.
This is a great thing that we dont al-
ways get to do; it gives Marines a chance to
help shape the kids of these countries, saidLt. Col. Paul Baker, TSCTF commander
Maybe 20 years from now those children
will look back and remember this.
U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command
(COMUSNAVSO) is the naval componen
command for USSOUTHCOM and is re
sponsible for all naval personnel and assets
in the AOR. COMUSNAVSO conducts a
variety of missions in support of the U.S
