NASP commemorates Battle of Midway

By HM2 Matthew Clutter Navy Medicine Operational Training Center Public Affairs

Surrounded by decades of history at the National Naval Aviation Museum, service members onboard NAS Pensacola commemorated one of the most profound and decisive battles in American naval history June 5.

The Battle of Midway marked its 75th anniversary in June, and is remembered as the turning point for control of the Pacific during World War II. The battle was a three-day fight for control of a small atoll in the Pacific. It took place just six months after the attacks on Pearl Harbor and resulted in the shift towards a defensive strategy for the Japanese navy that would last to the war’s end. The battle is widely known for its advances in the field of cryptology, as American intelli-

gence made significant strides in solving the Japanese fleet codes and enabled Pacific Fleet commander Adm. Chester Nimitz to better anticipate the Japanese plans.

Ceremonial participation was provided from several commands in the Pensacola area inNaval Hospital cluding Pensacola and Marine Aviation Training Support Group 21. Members of Navy Band Southeast, from Jacksonville, Fla., performed the music during the event. Navy Medicine Operational Center Training (NMOTC) organized the event, and Capt. Mark Goto, NMOTC commanding officer, gave the ceremony’s opening remarks.

“Today, I stand in awe of the accomplishments of those who lived the Battle of Midway,” said Goto. “With those men and See Midway on page 2

CNP highlights Sailor 2025 at NASP From Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

The Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) Vice Adm. Robert Burke spoke with Pensacola-area training staff and students during two all-hands calls June 2.

Covering a variety of topics ranging from how the Navy trains its workforce to upcoming improvements to the de-

tailing process, Burke explained how the roughly 45 initiatives of Sailor 2025 are designed to modernize personnel management and training systems.

At Center for Information Warfare Training and its schoolhouse, Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station, Burke emphasized how Ready, Relevant Learning is an important enabler for Sailor 2025 by delivering the

right training at the right time in a Sailor’s career.

“Training eventually is going to get moved out to the waterfronts, to the fleet concentration areas,” said Burke, describing how mobile laboratories will deliver asynchronous training when a Sailor needs it. This approach will change the current competition for course quotas with most training being

NASC receives 2016 flagship awards From Ens. Jacob Kotlarski NASC Public Affairs Office

Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC) recently received recognition for winning three of the five community service flagship awards for 2016.

NASC was selected as the Small Shore Command winner in the Health, Safety and Fitness, Campaign Drug Free and Environmental Stewardship categories.

Chaplain Lt. Steven Schwarz, the NASC volunteer coordinator, attributes these awards to the many volunteer projects NASC personnel take part in throughout the year.

“There is no such thing as a ‘volunteer season’,” Schwarz said. “We try to help the community throughout the year wherever help is needed. This year, the command has been a part of a wide variety of events, from cleaning unique ecological systems to mentoring children in schools.”

AN Benjamin O’Connor, Schwarz’s assistant, continually participates in the community service projects and appreciates the hard work the command has done.

“My favorite project we were involved in this year was volunteering with Autism Pensacola,” O’Connor said. “Working with children with disabilities is one See Flagship on page 2

Beach closure announced ... NASP officials have announced that Lake Frederic Beach is closed for all activities until further notice due to safety concerns. Severe beach and dune erosion, swift and unpredictable offshore currents, deep underwater drop-offs along the intracoastal waterway, and the increased presence of commercial shipping traffic have resulted in dangerous conditions leading to the closure of the beach to recreational users. The base is working on a restoration plan that will reopen the beach for shoreline access and fishing from the shoreline, but water access will continue to be prohibited for wading, swimming, fishing or boating. Also, no motorized vehicles are allowed on base beaches and shorelines unless specifically authorized for security, safety, facilities projects or environmental restoration actions. This includes Lake Frederic Beach. ORVs, OHVs, and ATVs are prohibited.

Marine captain shows fighting spirit in new commercial Commentary, photo

by Sgt. Logan Block Marine Corps Recruiting Command

MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. – All Marines have a fighting spirit; a reason for serving our country. Capt. Erin Demchko, a Hackensak, N.J., native, found her fighting spirit at a young age and continues to give her all each and every day.

Demchko’s fighting spirit is what makes her an excellent Marine to represent the Marine Corps in its latest advertisement, “Battle Up.” “Battle Up” is the third commercial inspired by the “Battles Won” brand idea, and the first Marine Corps advertisement prominently focusing on a female. It shows the evolution of a Marine as she grows from a young student and athlete with a fighting spirit and sense of responsibility to a battle-tested Marine overcoming every challenge presented.

“The five scenes in the ad depict experiences of Marines who have served or are currently serving, and targets the type of person we want to serve as a U.S. Marine in the future,” Demchko said. “I was honored to be asked to partic-

Born in 1985, she participated in a number of team sports in her youth, and served as team captain of her soccer and track and field teams. She also volunteered at her local fire department, where she says she found the value of service.

Demchko was a junior in high school when the World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11. This tragic event heightened her sense of patriotism and desire to protect her country, leading her to apply to the United States Naval Academy.

During her time there, she was on the women’s cross country team, where she held the position of team captain her senior year. She was also selected to attend Army Airborne School, where she became basic jump qualified. She said it was during her first year at the academy that she decided she wanted to earn her commission to serve in the Marine Corps because of its prestige and honor, and the opportunity to be on a great team. She was commissioned May 25, 2007.

From there, she attended The Basic School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., where new lieutenants are trained to be provisional rifle

Demchko has had a wide range of experiences during her career, including a deployment in support of combat operations in Operation Enduring Freedom, where she volunteered to serve on a female engagement team, and exercises such as Eager Lion 2014, Balikatan 2015, Rim of the Pacific 2016 and Philippines Bilateral Exercise 2017.

Flying metal detectors? Navy testing new unmanned mine-detection system

By Warren Duffie Jr. Office of Naval Research

A

RLINGTON, Va. (NNS) – During a recent technology demonstration at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Dr. Rosemarie Oelrich and Dr. Cory Stephanson unveiled a new way to detect buried and submerged mines.

Oelrich, a scientist at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock’s Combatant Craft Division, and Stephanson, president and chief executive officer of Broadband Discovery Systems (BDS), stared at an Android tablet showing search data from an unmanned aerial drone they had just flown. The device’s screen glowed as a green fluorescent map appeared, splashed with red clusters of varying sizes and shapes.

“See that large cluster?” asked Stephanson. “That’s the dummy mine we buried. The smaller blotches near it are construction rebar we found nearby.

The drone detected and localized these items quickly and accurately, which would be extremely valuable in a real combat scenario.”

Oelrich and Stephanson were testing the new Mine Warfare Rapid Assessment Capability (MIW RAC) system.

Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) TechSolutions program, MIW RAC

consists of a one-pound quadcopter outfitted with an ultrasensitive magnetometer sensor system to detect mines and provide real-time search data to a handheld Android device.

“This technology will help Sailors and Marines who are approaching a beachfront to rapidly clear, or at least determine the location of, mines or other hazards that are in their way,” said ONR CMC Matt Matteson.

“It could potentially save a lot of lives.”

MIW RAC is a portable, remote-controlled system that can detect buried or underwater mines during amphibious beach landings. It’s designed to help explosive ordnance disposal teams quickly find mines and dangerous metal obstacles within coastal surf zones and zones. very-shallow-water MIW RAC would provide a new, real-time aerial complement to existing underwater mine-detection capabilities.

“Everyone wants to know where they are going and what they are about to get into,” said

Cory Stephenson, president and CEO of Broadband Discovery Systems Inc., launches a small quad rotor platform as Dr. Rosemarie Oelrich, scientist, Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock, uses a handheld Android device to monitor data during the Ship-to-Shore Maneuver Exploration and Experimentation (S2ME2) Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX) 2017 at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California.

Oelrich, who is overseeing the development of MIW RAC. “It helps to have a rapid capability to just fly something in the air and survey an area before you put troops on the ground or bring a vessel ashore.”

While the quadcopter and tablet device are available commercially, the heart of MIW RAC is its proprietary magnetometer sensor suite – which has an extensive detection range and uses complex algorithms to differentiate between various types of objects.

MIW RAC originated in 2015, when the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) sent a request to ONR’s TechSolutions program for a portable system that could detect potential hazards in surf zones, be easy for warfighters to use, and fit diverse platforms.

TechSolutions is ONR’s rapid-response science and technology program that develops prototype technologies to address problems voiced by Sailors and Marines, usually within 12-18 months.

Vice Chief of Naval Operations visits NAS Jacksonville

By Kaylee LaRocque Naval Air Station Jacksonville Public Affairs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (NNS) – Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) Adm. Bill Moran visited NAS Jacksonville May 30 to get a firsthand look at the new MQ4C Triton Mission Control Center and meet Sailors and civilians during several all-hands calls.

During his first all-hands call, the admiral greeted maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircrew and instructors with praise for their achievements in executing their missions.

He also discussed an increasingly competitive security environment, but highlighted where the Navy maintains its edge.

“We continue to work on technology, but we are far ahead of our adversaries when it comes to people,” said Moran. “That is the

one big advantage we have over everyone else. Our people are experienced, professional, able, smart and well-led. If you look back on the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway on their 75th anniversary, we were pretty lucky in both those battles because of our people taking risks. On Memorial Day, we remembered Americans who lost their lives fighting for our country. It’s a dangerous business. We have to be deadly serious and continue to be competitive. If you look back at history as the world seemed relatively normal at peace, and then suddenly explodes with something bigger, well that’s something we have to be ready for.”

Other issues Moran touched on included the defense budget, squadron collateral duties, manpower, training, new platforms, sea duty ratings and the new retirement system as they pertain to mission readiness.

Later, at a visit to the Triton Mission Control Center, Moran was briefed by Unmanned Patrol Squadron 19 Executive Officer Cmdr. John LeVoy on how the center will function in the future regarding manpower, working hours and mission planning and execution.

At a second all-hands call, the admiral thanked the security force, firefighters and civilian workforce for their dedication and hard work, discussed current world affairs, then opened the floor to questions.

The admiral also used the opportunity to address social media misbehavior.

“What we have to fix and what you have to own for us is self-policing – calling out one another and holding each other accountable,” said Moran. “If the behavior doesn’t pass the test at your dinner table, it’s that simple.”

With TechSolutions guidance, NECC partnered with NSWC Carderock, Combat Direction Systems Activity Dam Neck and two commercial companies – BDS and Physical Sciences, Inc. – to develop the components of MIW RAC. “We took our inspiration from a stationary scanning system developed by BDS,” said Oelrich. “It was sensitive enough to not only detect weapons, but identify the hidden location of the object on a person and the angle in which it was oriented – a knife in a front pocket or gun turned sideways, for example.

“We flipped that concept on its head,” she continued. “Instead of a stationary system detecting moving objects, we have a moving system detecting relatively stationary objects.”

Later this year, TechSolutions will deliver prototype MIW RACs to NECC’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group for further testing and evaluation. Oelrich and her team hope to see the system issued throughout the fleet next year.

Naval Oceanography demonstrates capabilities in Gulf

By Kaley Turfitt Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command Public Affairs

S

TENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. (NNS) – For several months Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Commands (NavMetOcCom) have been conducting operations in the Gulf of Mexico in support of its unmanned systems operational demonstration, May 31-June 1.

Operations and observations collected during the demonstration will be integrated on a unique common operational picture at the Combat Readiness Training Center-Battlefield Airmen Center in Gulfport.

“The Mississippi Gulf Coast is extremely suited to nearly all the mission types the Navy addresses,” said Rear Adm. Tim Gallaudet, commander, NavMetOcCom and oceanographer of the Navy. “When it came to choosing a place to host the first ever unmanned systems operational demonstration, the answer was easy – it was right in our backyard. Our coastline includes riverine, shallow and deep water, barrier islands, harbors and beaches that can be used to simulate missions.”

Led by Gallaudet, the event is providing Naval Oceanography an opportunity to demonstrate existing unmanned systems capabilities, highlight local infrastructure that can be used for additional unmanned systems operations and explore

collaborative opportunities between Navy, industry and academia in support of national defense.

To simulate Navy missions for the demonstration and test unmanned systems capabilities, fleet mission areas such as humanitarian assistance/disaster relief (HA/DR); sea control; theater anti-submarine warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and more were planned.

HA/DR was a multi-command demonstration that combined near-shore data collection capabilities near Cat Island and Gulfport Harbor to identify hazards to navigation and provide clear transit and anchorages for incoming support vessels. Personnel deployed Iver 3s and REMUS 100s, which are unmanned systems that collect bathymetry and side scan sonar data. The data was then consolidated and processed to provide water depths, hazards to navigation and tactical recommendation products.

The HA/DR lead Lt. Cmdr.

Jessica Garrett said, “Natural disasters can drastically change the coastal landscape and infrastructure. The Mississippi Gulf Coast is definitely not a stranger to that. Deployed Naval Oceanography teams can quickly and efficiently provide environmental updates to the HA/DR commander, expediting relief efforts.”

Another exercise employed unmanned systems that communicated with each other to deliver the most accurate and up-to-date environmental assessments. Naval Oceanography tested the use of a littoral battlespace sensing mission van

as a forward operating base (FOB) to maintain contact with multiple unmanned systems that were deployed from USNS Maury in the Gulf of Mexico.

The two unmanned systems can collect bathymetry and communicate position back to the FOB. These are just two examples; whereas, support for the operational demonstration has been ongoing for months as various Navy commands collaborated with industry and academia to complete exercises in the Gulf of Mexico. The Naval Oceanographic Office worked with the U.S. Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron

“Hurricane Hunters” to deploy profiling floats and drifters to measure conductivity, temperature and depth and ocean currents.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution used specially-equipped ocean gliders to test advanced techniques in support of anti-submarine warfare. Naval Oceanography also partnered with the University of Southern Mississippi, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and many other Navy commands to produce the nation’s first unmanned maritime systems certification program.

NavMetOcCom Deputy Commander and Technical Director Dr. Bill Burnett said, “To be able to share what we do right here at home and put all the knowledge gathered into a common operational picture is very exciting for us. Our community should know that there are people working hard every day in support of our nation's defense from right here at Stennis.”

NavMetocCom directs and oversees more than 2,500 globally-distributed military and civilian personnel who collect, process and exploit environmental information to assist Fleet and Joint Commanders in all warfare areas to make better decisions faster than the adversary.

Sailors wearing new ranks onboard NAS Whiting Field Story, photos

by Jamie Link NAS Whiting Field Public Affairs

T

welve Sailors were frocked June 2 at the Cmdr. Clyde E. Lassen Auditorium onboard Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) prior to a ceremony commemorating the Battle of Midway. Two additional Sailors were frocked June 1, for a total of 14 Sailors that now wear new collar devices.

Each Sailor received a frocking letter from NASWF Commanding Officer Capt. Todd Bahlau. The letter read in part, “Your appointment carries with it the obligation that you exercise increased authority and willingly accept greater responsibility. Now, occupying a position of greater authority, you must strive with a renewed dedication toward the valued ideal of service with honor.”

Sailors selected for advancement with their new ranks are: ABH2 Dominic Caviness, AC2 Patrick Cook, AC1 Alexandrea Coy, AC3 Anita Finnerty, AC2 Jordan Fritz, AC2 Derwin Gentry, AC3 Alexander Gnezda, AC2 Mark Graham, AC2 Amanda Lara, AC3 Elijah Morris, AC1 Christopher Reinhard, AC3 Kristin Rogers, AC2

Cleveland Smith Jr., AC2 Bobby Spradley and AC2 Jeffrey Vohnout Jr. Many of the Sailors were frocked by their shipmates, friends and family members.

The frocking ceremony is a tradition as old as the Navy itself, although it wasn’t referred to in official Navy publications until 1974. The term is derived from the historical practice of Sailors donning the uniform frock coat of the next highest rank prior to actually attaining the rank, granting the Sailors the authority of the new device prior to their official advancement to that rank.

Bahlau congratulated the Sailors and shared with them the need to appreciate the moment, and encouraged them to reflect upon the expectations

Naval Air Station Whiting Field (NASWF) Sailors are frocked June 2 at the Cmdr. Clyde E. Lassen Auditorium. Twelve Sailors were frocked prior to the base’s Battle of Midway ceremony; two additional Sailors were frocked June 1 for a total of 14 Sailors that now wear new collar devices. Each Sailor received a frocking letter from NASWF Commanding Officer, Capt. Todd Bahlau.

and responsibilities the new devices come with.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Bahlau said. “Congratulations to all of you, this comes with new responsibilities and I know you all will live up to those responsibilities.”

Flag Day

Flag Day honors American ideals, sacrifices

By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service

n June 14, the United States observes National Flag Day, an annual tribute to the American flag, the ideals it stands for and the sacrifices made to preserve them.

O

President Woodrow Wilson recognized during his first Flag Day address in 1915 that the freedoms the U.S. flag stands for weren’t and never would be free.

“The lines of red are lines of blood, nobly and unselfishly shed by men who loved the liberty of their fellowship more than they loved their own lives and fortunes,” he said. “God forbid that we should have to use the blood of America to freshen the color of the flag.”

But American blood has spilled time and time again to preserve American liberties, most recently in the war against violent extremism.

Two current / retired service members have shared their personal perspectives about how the flag has inspired them through their proudest as well as darkest days as a symbol of patriotism, strength and resilience.

Army Capt. Joe Minning – 9/11 terror attacks.

Few Americans will forget the image of three firefighters raising an American flag over the World Trade Center ruins in New York just hours after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

But for Minning and his fellow New York National Guard Soldiers, many of them New York City firefighters and police officers, the “Ground Zero” flag took on a very personal significance as they desperately sifted through the rubble looking for survivors.

“Seeing the flag raised above all of the rubble and ruins of the World Trade Center instilled a new sense of pride in me for our country,” he said. “No matter

what happens to the United States – on foreign ground, on U.S. soil – we, the American people, will always continue to move forward, rebuild and face any challenges that lie ahead.”

Three years later, Minning and the “Fighting 69th” Brigade Combat Team would take that inspiration with them to Iraq, where they lost 19 Soldiers securing Route Irish and its surrounding Baghdad neighborhoods during their yearlong deployment.

Among those killed was Army Staff Sgt. Christian Engledrum, a New York firefighter who, like Minning, worked amid the dust and smoke immediately following the World Trade Center attack. Engledrum, the first New York City employee to die serving in Iraq, became a symbol of the unit that went from Ground Zero to Iraq’s Sunni Triangle, and after his death, to the mountains of Afghanistan.

The flag and what it represents continue to motivate unit members during their deployment to Afghanistan as embedded trainers for the Afghan National Army, he said.

Minning said he recognizes when he saw Old Glory flying at his tiny forward operating base there that he and his fellow Soldiers were following in the footsteps of the earliest U.S. patriots and defending the same values they fought for.

“The flag is a symbol of everything the United States stands for – from our Founding Fathers up until now, all that we have accomplished, and the hur-

tles our country has overcome,” he said.

As a Soldier, Minning said, he and his fellow Soldiers recognized that it’s up to them to continue carrying the torch forward.

“It is the American Soldier who keeps the country moving forward and will never let it be taken down by any adversity. It is what we fight for and, if we fall in battle, what our coffins are draped with,” he said. “And it’s what we are committed to protecting and defending, no matter what the price.”

Marine CWO Charles W. “Bill” Henderson – Beirut embassy bombing.

Back in April 1983, rescue workers picking through the rubble of what had been the U.S. Embassy in Beirut following a terrorist attack uncovered the body of 21-year-old Marine Cpl. Robert V. McMaugh. Beside his body lay the tattered remains of the U.S. flag that had once stood proudly beside his guard post in the embassy’s main lobby.

McMaugh’s fellow Marine

security guards draped their fallen comrade in a fresh American flag and carried him away on a stretcher. A squad of Marines snapped to attention and saluted.

“It was a poignant moment,” Henderson, a recalled spokesman attached to 22nd Marine Amphibious Unit in Lebanon at the time of the bombing. “Everyone had been digging and digging, then suddenly, everything stopped. Not a word was said. Seeing the body of a fellow Marine covered with the American flag … it was an electrifying moment,” he said.

While stationed in Beirut, Henderson said, he came to appreciate the flag, not just as a piece of material, but as a symbol of courage. “Each Marine (in Lebanon) wore an American flag on his shirt,” he said. “It did more than show that we were Americans. It showed that we were representing this country and what it stands for: freedom for all people.”

Henderson said terrorist attacks that followed that initial salvo and the thousands of

Americans who have died as a result have only deepened the flag’s symbolism.

“What’s behind it are the blood and tears of hundreds of thousands of Soldiers who have sacrificed. The symbolism behind the flag is this long tradition of sacrifice to preserve liberty,” he said.

“Yes, it is just a piece of cloth,” he said. “But what it represents are the lives of thousands of Americans who have given everything for this nation – who ask nothing in return but felt an obligation of duty to their country.”

Henderson said he doesn’t take disrespect for the flag lightly. “When you insult our flag, you insult the lives and the sacrifices of all the men and women who have served this country,” he said.

On the other hand, honoring the flag is showing respect and appreciation for all they have done. “You are honoring everything that we, as a nation, have accomplished, what America has done and what America represents to the world,” he said.

sponse to non-intimate partner adult victims of sexual assault.

Active-duty and adult family member sexual assault victims have a choice of reporting options, unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted reporting allows victim to have an advocate, seek medical care, counseling, legal services, safety interventions and/or transfer, etc. To access an unrestricted report, the victim may report to his/her chain-of-command, security/law enforcement, NCIS, SAPR VA, SARC, or others. NCIS shall be notified by the CO and/or the VA/SARC in unrestricted cases to begin investigation. Investigation results are provided to the offender’s CO for appropriate action/disposition. Restricted reporting allows a victim to have a confidential report, which does not trigger command or law enforcement notification and the victim may have a SAPR VA and seek medical care and/or counseling. To access restricted reporting, the victim may disclose his/her sexual assault only to the SARC, a current SAPR VA, a health care professional and/or a chaplain.

Story, photo from the University of West Florida

“From The Vault: Why and What we Collect” is a new exhibit being presented by the University of West Florida Historic Trust at the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum, 330 South Jefferson St. The exhibit, consisting of more than 120 artifacts, showcases some of the historical, strange and fascinating pieces from the UWF Historic Trust’s collection.

“We all collect, for many reasons including pure enjoyment, nostalgia for the past and to create a legacy, a gift to the future,” said Wanda Edwards, chief curator for the UWF Historic Trust. “Whatever the reason, our collections are an

extension of who we are.”

Visitors can explore collecting by individuals, community organizations and museums.

Some of the artifacts have compelling stories, such as the Gulf Breeze UFO model. A special “What is It?” area will engage visitors by challenging them to identify unusual objects from the collection.

The T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum is the flagship museum operated by The UWF Historic Trust. It is housed in the three-story Mediterranean Revival architecture of the former Pensacola City Hall and was built in 1907.

The museum is a general history museum with galleries dedicated to both permanent and

changing exhibits including: • “The City of Five Flags”: It tells the story of Pensacola through artifacts, photographs and stories.

• “Trader Jon’s”: Featuring a collection of artifacts from Martin “Trader Jon” Weissman, owner of an iconic bar in Pensacola.

• “Finding Florida: Maps from the John Emmanuel Collection”: Features 11 historic maps ranging in date from 1774 to 1891.

The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday for halfprice Sundays.
