29th Infantry Division advanced party returns

U.S. Army National Guard photos by Cotton Puryear

From 29th Infantry Division The first groups of Virginia National Guard Soldiers assigned to the Fort Belvoir-based 29th Infantry Division returned to Virginia Monday, after serving on federal active duty since November.

The Soldiers served in the Middle East in support of Task Force Spartan Shield as the first intermediate division headquarters under U.S. Army Central Command. Senior leaders from state government and the Virginia National Guard greeted Soldiers when they arrived at Dulles Airport.

The Soldiers then reunited with family, friends and fellow Soldiers in Belvoir and Sandston, Va. During the deployment, the 29th ID Soldiers provided mission command for joint training exercises and military-to-military engagements with partner nations to promote regional stability and theater security cooperation.

A formal transfer of authority was scheduled for today and the remaining 29th ID Soldiers will return after that.

More about the mission is available from https://go.usa.gov/xNMCp.

‘Wolfpack’ Engineers rise to battleready standards in Korean theatre By 1st Lt. Katelyn N. Radack 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs Nearly every U.S. Army unit in Korea spends time at the Multi-purpose Range Complex. While most units spend their time at the range qualifying on weapons, the Vertical Platoon of the 643rd Engineer Support Company spent their two weeks at the range on critical construction and infrastructure projects.

Recently reassigned to Korea as part of Task Force War Horse, 602nd Air Support Battalion, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, the “Wolfpack” Engineer Company has the only vertical engineering platoon on the peninsula, and is already making a vital impact.

During their deployment to the range complex, 37 Soldiers and one KATUSA counterpart built two South East Asia Huts; replaced two-decadesold wooden grenade bunkers with more-durable concrete models; and erected a guard station at the entrance to Warrior Valley, as part of a range improvement initiative. The huts are stilt-raised, single-room structures that serve as warming or cooling stations in extreme weather conditions.

Besides helping range operations update and improve their facilities, the platoon also built inert IEDs and 20 Czech Hedgehogs, or spiked obstacles used to deter vehicle entry, to help the 1-5 Infantry Battalion, 25th Infantry Division’s breaching and demolitions training.

As a vertical construction platoon, the skills needed to erect these structures are mission-essential tasks for Soldiers specializing as plumbers, electricians, masons and carpenters. These skills include constructing wood-frame structures; installing electrical utilities for the SEA Huts; constructing concrete structures, like the grenade bunkers; and project management.

Platoon Leader, 1st Lt. Michael Burkeen’s, and Platoon Sergeant, Sgt. 1st Class Mark Lake’s ambitious build schedule spread the platoon among four construction sites over the two weeks of operations, with as many as three sites active on any day. The platoon relied on their three sergeant squad leaders to provide effective and independent project management at each site.

“They chose the team leaders to each project, based on their experience in similar projects, like cement, or wood-frame construction,” said Spc. Daniel Clemen, a carpenter. “Everyone had a hand in each of the sites, though … it was nice to have a mission that brought everyone together to do good construction that was going to be meaningful to

Team Leader Sgt. Eric Dubard, (standing, blue helmet) supervises his Soldiers as they smooth newly poured concrete for a grenade bunker at Arapaho Range in South Korea. the Rodriguez Range complex.”

This was the largest-scale mission for the platoon since arriving in Korea. The range of projects gave Soldiers a chance to brush up on their skills.

“I really enjoyed building the stairs for each of the SEA Huts. It requires a certain type of math that I haven’t done since I graduated from AIT. It was nice to get a refresher,” Clemen said. “I really had to sit down and rethink it, and recalculate my equations to overcome different obstacles, since each house was a different height, so (each) required a unique set of math.”

Burkeen and Lake also challenged their platoon to rise to the battle-ready standards of the Korean theatre. The Soldiers conducted operations in the warrior standard for the first week to train and test their stamina, and build resilience to execute operations in a simulated hostile environment.

“It really does slow operations when Soldiers are weighted down by their full kit,” reflects Burkeen on the decision, estimating a two-day difference in construction time between constructing the SEA Hut with and without the heavy protective equipment.

“It really helped our Soldiers with the famil-

iarization to their equipment and … was part of our troop-leading procedures to build readiness, in regards to the fight tonight standard.”

The engineers’ operations involved two key collaborations with a fellow U.S. unit and with local Korean partners.

Conducting demolition and clearance operations with the engineer’s obstacles added a ‘train like we fight’ realism to the 1-5 Infantrymen’s mission and allowed the vertical engineers the chance to cross train on skills more common to their combat engineer brothers.

Constructing the concrete grenade bunkers involved a close collaboration with local Korean suppliers to resource and pour the cement.

Burkeen said, by the time his Engineers finished their projects, they had provided 1,312 man hours of labor and used 290 pounds of nails; 1,539 lumber boards; and 454 sheets of plywood.

“This was a great opportunity for our Soldiers to train on tasks that can be difficult or costly, at times, to set up,” he said. “This is a legacy of our time in Korea and we’re proud that we could provide newer, safer training facilities for many years to come.”

Partners in Protection: Active-shooter training conducted

By Cathy Hopkins DLA Aviation Public Affairs Defense Logistics Agency Installation Support at Richmond’s Security and Emergency Services Office conducted Active Shooter Awareness and Response Training at Defense Supply Center Richmond, Va., June 23.

The training is part of an ongoing awareness program that helps educate employees on a variety of security issues.

Richard Milligan, deputy chief of the SES Office, provided opening remarks. He said, in light of recent world events, it is important to train for an active-shooter scenario, as it can happen anywhere.

“If you hear gunfire, don’t rationalize what is happening, take action and ask questions later.”

Don Bartlett Criminal intelligence analyst

Russell Pitts, anti-terrorism officer; and Don Bartlett, criminal intelligence analyst in the SES office; tag-teamed the training, led employees through recent case studies and discussed characteristics of an active shooter, pre-attack indicators and how to respond to an active shooter.

Pitts reviewed characteristics and pre-attack indicators for attendees and also showed a Run, Hide, Fight: Surviving an Active Shooter Event video.

Defense Supply Center Richmond employees throw paper at a mock active shooter, then run away to demonstrate how to disrupt and disorient his thought processes during Active Shooter Awareness and Response Training on DSCR in Virginia, June 23.

Bartlett said one of the pieces of intelligence he gathered after the 2016 Pulse Night Club Terrorist Attack in Orlando, was that there was no evidence of anyone fighting to survive.

“If you cannot run or hide, you have to be prepared and committed to fighting to advance your chances of survival,” Bartlett said. “Terrorists and active shooters have a mindset of destruction and statistics show that 49 percent of active

shooters also commit suicide during the event.”

He also said it is important to know that active shooters typically do not target areas where people are likely to fight back; do not typically take hostages and typically do not spend much time trying to breach locked or barricaded areas.

Bartlett said one of the first things employees need to do is overcome denial. “If you hear gunfire, don’t rationalize what is happening, take action and ask questions later,” he said.

New DoD HAZMAT resource saves time and money

July 13, 2017 Belvoir Eagle

Of Springfield

Defense Logistics Agency release Military and NASA customers looking for hazardous material information now have access to a new, consolidated defense resource for environmental, occupational, safety and health missions.

The Defense Logistics Agency’s Hazardous Material Management System merged with the Defense Department’s Hazardous Material Information Resource System June 30, creating HMIRS Next Gen. Merging the two programs into one platform drives down infrastructure costs and integrates a process-management solution.

“This is a big win for all involved parties,” said Warren Scott, HMIRS Next Gen program manager. “We will be deploying one application supporting the two separate, but related, environmental, occupational, safety and health missions; increasing data integrity, eliminating dual entry, enhancing regulatory reporting and reducing life cycle costs.”

HMIRS and HMMS complement each other with a variety of different capabilities. Independent from other systems, the purpose of HMMS is to track and manage hazardous materials, including waste. The system provides visibility and accountability that satisfies federal, state and local reporting and compliance requirements for government facilities.

HMIRS contains information on more than 544,000 hazardous products. For example, government worksites, including warehouses, shipping locations and emergency response locations use the online web application to access electronic hazardous material documents.

HMIRS Next Gen has been modernized with industry best practices in mind, like enhanced navigation capabilities; filtering processes to quickly find desired information; and a streamlined data-entry process. It will also reduce data entry times for 20,000 or more documents added each year.

Current customers with an Account Management and Provisioning System profile will be migrated to the new platform and these customers will still need to register for their role in AMPS. New customers or current users without an AMPS profile will need to request an AMPS account and register for their role for access.

Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge Submitted by Public Works Environmental and Natural Resources Nestled in the northeast corner of Fort Belvoir, between the hustle and bustle of Telegraph Road and Route 1, lies the 191-acre Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge, named after the late Jackson Miles Abbott. He was a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Abbott was known for his extensive study of birds on the Potomac, with focus on the bald eagle, and combined that with his love of painting.

Abbott’s work was chosen for the Federal Duck Stamp in 1957 and his painting of the bald eagle now serves as Belvoir’s logo.

JMAWR was established in 1988 to protect an area of sensitive wetlands along Dogue Creek. In doing so, it added to what is now Huntley Meadows and also helped preserve the large track of forest extending from Mason Neck State Park to Huntley Meadows.

The entrance to the wetland refuge is off of Pole Road just east of Jeff Todd Way. As you leave the parking area, a paved path meanders through the forest and eventually gives way to the refuge.

The refuge contains the 1.5-acre Mulligan Pond that offers plenty of shoreline and three, small piers to fish for species of sunfish, catfish and bass.

The pond serves as home to beavers, muskrat, waterfowl, and many reptiles and amphibians. Two small wildflower meadows were planted years ago where butterflies and other pollinators can be seen atop the numerous species of flowers. A quarter-mile gravel path encircles the pond and contains a wetland viewing platform along the north that overlooks the large wetlands that showcase plants and wildlife.

In the summer, people can see great egrets; ospreys; and common yellowthroats; and hear the grumbling of bullfrogs. During winter months, the refuge serves as a stopover for numerous species of waterfowl, like northern pintails, black ducks and mallards. As winter transitions to spring, the wetlands become alive again with spring peepers, wood ducks and warblers on their way to northern breeding grounds.

The JMAWR is a “diamond in the rough” that seldom gets overlooked as commuters head north and south along I-95 and Route 1. Just a short hop off the highway and you can escape to this little oasis. It may not be the Everglades or Great Dismal Swamp but, those who know it well take advantage of what it has to offer.

Maybe next time you are out for lunch, or just need a break from the cubicle farm, take a trip over to JMAWR, pack a lunch, bring some binoculars or a fishing rod, and take a hike.

The Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Trail paved cuts through forested wetland before circling around Mulligan Pond.

Wildflowers abound at Jackson M. Abbott Wetland Refuge. The trail is accessible off Pole Road, adjacent to Belvoir’s Woodlawn Village neighborhood.

The Jackson M. Abbott Wetland Refuge has several fishing and observation platforms on the 1-acre Mulligan Pond.

Jackson Miles Abbott Wetland Refuge, JMAWR, is named after the late Jackson Miles Abbott, who was a lieutenant colonel in the Army Corps of Engineers. It is Abbott’s painting of a bald eagle that is on the masthead of our newspaper.

The Jackson M. Abbott Wetland Refuge circles Mulligan Pond with a quarter mile, mostly-paved path featuring several shoreline spots designed for easy fishing and viewing.

DLA aiming high in Commander’s Cup race

All about that mess

By Rick Musselman Sports Editor Now that Belvoir’s intramural sports teams have wrapped up the soccer and softball championships— the culminating events of the actionheavy first half of the annual Commander’s Cup season—sports in general, both here and in the professional world, have moved into their comparatively quiet period. As such, it’s time once again to take a look at the overall title race picture and analyze a possible changing of the guard, in terms of leadership.

Around this time last year, the Commander’s Cup season was unfolding about as expected. The powerhouse Fort Belvoir Community Hospital led overall rankings with a brand of fierce dedication and consistency that ultimately succeeded in the unit securing its second consecutive title after dethroning DTRA, a legendary unit with more title trophies at its headquarters, by far, than any other unit on Belvoir, in 2015.

Rounding out the well-established Big Three brotherhood, USALSA, after shocking the entire league by winning its first Cup title in 2012— the first year it had set up shop on Belvoir—was in position to finish in the top three slots as it had every year since its inaugural victory.

But, heading into the back half of the schedule, a new presence established itself as a major force to be reckoned with. Rising star DLA, having turned in consistently strong performances across the spectrum

The DLA intramural soccer squad poses for a photo with the runner-up trophy after taking on FBCH in the FY17 championship final, June 8 at Fremont Field. The unit is in second place in the overall Commander’s Cup rankings, trailing defending champion FBCH by only 24 points with four major events left in the season.

By now, followers of Fort Belvoir’s annual Commander’s Cup intramural sports title race have noticed a new addition to the elite Big Three—the coalition of units that have consistently wrapped up the season at the top of the heap.

For years, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and U.S. Army Legal Services Agency have dominated the rankings with a brand of unshakeable unit cohesion and total dedication to the cause that has thwarted any and all efforts from opposing units to drive these titans out the winner’s circle.

Continued on page B3

Back in June, I got a chance to cover one of my all-time favorite events—CYS’s annual Color Fun Run. This rather dynamic event involves some 250 kids, between ages 4 and 16, running through a mile-long obstacle course in the Tompkins Basin. The challenges, including climbing over confidence walls; crawling through timber tunnels; jumping over hurdles and negotiating a grid of tires, are tough enough for anyone, but adding to the difficulty are volunteers at each obstacle who douse competitors with brightly colored powder that sticks to sweaty skin like cake icing.

By the time the kids cross the finish line, parents often have a tough time identifying them, and that’s the whole fun point of it all—get as grubby as you can. It’s my kind of event, considering the washing-machine taxing stuff I got into growing up.

Of course, keeping these course conditions in mind, I always wear a pair of older (and hence, more expendable) tennis shoes, because they will most righteously change color within the race’s first minute. Wearing my 2011 vintage white canvas skate shoes, I dove headlong into the melee, and sure enough my shoes were soon bright red, and that’s when I started hatching an idea for a little experiment. If for no other reason than to investigate the properties of modern textiles, I decided to see how long it would take for that color to wear off.

Now, like I intimated earlier, I’m not one to replace tennis shoes all that often, and I’m never conscientious enough to throw them in the washer, so I already had the basic conditions to make an accurate fade test. Interestingly enough, for three and a half weeks now of wearing those sneakers, the red is just as vivid as it was when it first landed on them.

But then I worried that walking around in pastel red shoes might get people to talking, so I finally decided to wash them. And guess what, they’re still red as a clown’s nose.

I should call somebody and find out what the powder really is. I might mix it with water and paint my house with it.

DLA veteran, Mark Albright, boots the ball downfield during his team’s FY17 intramural soccer championship showdown with FBCH, June 8.

The biggest shock came early when the U.S. Army System Performance Office eliminated the 8-1, divisional standings leader FBCH in the quarterfinal round. The title picture continued to be turned on its head when the 911th Engineer Company – Technical Rescue took DTRA, unquestionably one of the ablest teams in the league with countless trips to the post season, out of contention with an upset quarterfinal victory of its own. In the final game of the quarterfinal series, the U.S. Coast Guard took down USALSA. Never before had the Big Three fallen so early in the softball playoffs.

Meanwhile, DLA, having turned in a solid second-place 7-2 record in the regular season, had taken down the always tough 249th Engineer Battalion in the quarters, right before it eliminated the USCG in the semis.

DLA ultimately went down in the final showdown with the supercharged 911th but yet another runner-up title moved the unit onto rock-solid ground in the overall rankings. As it stands now, FBCH is still topping the standings with 144 points. But DLA, adding 39 points to its account with back-to-back runner-up finishes in soccer and softball, has moved into the second-place slot with 120 to-

tal points, while USALSA, holding steady in third place with 103 points overall. Uncharacteristically, DTRA is bringing up a distant fourth place with 68 points.

With the bowling and golf tournaments, as well as the swim meet and the season-closing cross country run, remaining in the FY17 race, anything could happen, historically speaking. At the moment, DLA appears poised to continue its rise to the elite hall of champions. But, it still has to get passed FBCH, a unit with four champion trophies already in the 2017 books (Combatives, flag football, varsity basketball and tennis) that is totally dedicated to claiming its third consecutive title when all is said and done in September.

www.belvoireagleonline.com Continued from page B1 In 2016, however, that scenario changed. Defense Logistics Agency, unquestionably one of the most determined contenders in the intramurals program that fields some of the most talented rosters on the installation, made history when it finished up its Cup campaign in a tie for third place with the legendary DTRA. The “Big Three” suddenly became the “Big Four”—a development every bit as exciting as when USALSA claimed its first Commander’s Cup trophy the first year it became a mission partner on Belvoir in 2012.

When the 2017 season got underway back in October 2016, all eyes were on DLA, and the unit did not disappoint. By the time the midseason break arrived two weeks ago, DLA had won the formation run and claimed runner-up trophies in tennis, soccer and softball, demonstrating once again that consistency over the long haul is more valuable that sporadic victories.

As a result, DLA is now sitting in second place, trailing FBCH by a scant 24 points while leading USALSA by 17 and DTRA by an astonishing 52.

The question on everyone’s mind now is simple—what is this squad’s secret.

According to Andy Green, market analyst, DLA Strategic Materials; and intramural sports program director, the answer is simple: sticking

“There are a few factors at work in our rise up the standings, not least of which is persistence,” Green said. “DLA doesn’t always start off as the best in every sport, but we keep showing up and improving on the prior year’s performance. The best example of this is the softball team. The team fell apart in 2015 and forfeited out. Last year, we put together a solid squad but couldn’t seem to get everyone together at the same time.

“Learning from those past seasons, I brought in a new coach and manager, Darren Dunham and Shandra Herrod, respectively, and

we recruited an excellent group of players,” Green said. “The team jelled and made the title game a year after posting a losing record.

The team often won games in nailbiting fashion, which is a reflection of the team’s character.”

According to Green, that element of character plays a crucial role in the team’s continual development.

“Another big factor is people showing up to play in new sports.

We are increasing our presence in sports we didn’t normally compete in before. People are making time for this and it shows in the standings,” he said. “I think the biggest factor in our rise is the buy-in from

people around the agency. When I started playing sports on Fort Belvoir in 2014, it was a way to get in shape and have some fun. Those factors are still there; it’s why we play.

“For the most part, I had to pull everything together myself that first soccer season. Nobody knew what the Commander’s Cup was, including me, but now I have people asking me about the Commander’s Cup standings who’d never asked before,” Green said. “I also have people around the building recruiting players for me for every sport. I have people stepping up to compete in sports they don’t normally play to gain points in the Cup race.

“This recruiting and buy-in is a huge force multiplier,” Green continued. “Some of the key players who have helped me recruit are Chris Boeding, John Ampela, Mark Albright and Brian Wilt. I certainly can’t thank everyone here, but the force keeps multiplying.”

Lastly, Green attributes a fair measure of his team’s success to the MWR coordinators who, through continuous work all year long, enable Belvoir units to chase the prestigious Commander’s Cup every year.

“I would also like to thank Justin Fitzgerald and Geneva Martin for all their work over the years in making these sports happen and adjusting to the needs of the players,” Green said. “There has been improvement in several of the sports, and that has also helped to sustain the interest.”

SUMMERTIME AND MEMBERSHIP’S EASY

Pregnancy, postpartum exercise leaders needed From P3T and staff reports Are you looking for a way to positively impact Service members and gain experience as a leader? If so, consider becoming a Pregnancy and Postpartum Physical Training Program, or P3T, exercise leader.

P3T is a joint program, for all active Service members. The position requires completing the P3T Exercise Leader Course that provides guidance on leading exercise sessions for pregnant and postpartum Service members in a P3T-consolidated, installation program.

Attendees may include unit NCOs, health-care personnel, and MWR personnel interested in P3T Program implementation. The requirements are: • Enthusiasm about helping others succeed • E5 and above or junior officer • Not pregnant or postpartum • Not on a permanent physical profile for no PT • Stability of at least 6 months • Any branch of service (active component) To register, contact Sgt. 1st Class Peggy Smith, P3T NCOIC at 703-805-0149, 202-560-8753, or peggy.a.smith@mail.mil.

The next P3T Exercise Leader training is July 24-27, 9 a.m. – 4

p.m., in Fort Meade’s Bldg. 8452, classroom 5.

Why was P3T created? Several studies indicate Soldiers who return to unit physical training without intervention have reduced fitness levels, increased body fat, and more injuries and illness.

The P3T program helps Soldiers adjust their exercise regimen as the pregnancy progresses, and teaches special skills that help with delivery and recovery. It also provides emotional support and encouragement through group activities with others in similar circumstances.

A basic postpartum fitness session typically includes warm-ups, muscle conditioning, cardio training and a cool-down period.

Course Information There is no registration fee to attend. Training materials will be provided. Bring a pen. Meals are not included, but you have an hour for lunch each day. The uniform is proper branch, service PTs. Attendees will be contacted by the course trainer after they register with a few pre-course requirements.

For information about the P3T Program visit the AKO PPPT webpage, us.army.mil/suite/ page/693153.

Armed Services Blood Program honors Belvoir Garrison Public Affairs The Armed Services Blood Program presented garrison officials with a commemorative paddle Tuesday, recognizing Fort Belvoir as installation of the year for 2016. ASBP collected more units of blood from Belvoir than from any other installation in the National Capital Region.

“We’re honored to recognize Fort Belvoir,” said Donna Onwona, donor recruiter with the ASBP, covering the southern part of the National Capital Region. “The tremendous support we have received from our blood-drive sponsors, coordinators and donors on Belvoir is unsurpassed and has helped save countless lives in-theatre and at military treatment facilities in the region.”

According to Onwona, Belvoir personnel donated 706 units of blood last year, with a potential to reach thousands of ill or injured Service members and patients whose lives may depend on getting a blood transfusion. The program regularly conducts blood drives at the Mark Center, the Belvoir USO and for a variety of mission partners on Belvoir.

The ASBP is the official blood program of the U.S. military and collects, processes, transports and transfuses the donated blood. “In this area, the blood we collect supports a weekly quota for theater of operations and also supports Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and Presidential Support at Joint Base Andrews,” Onwona said.

Information is available from militaryblood.dod.mil. The next public blood drive on Belvoir is Sept. 25 at the USO. Blood

donors to the ASBP can be contractors, civilians, family members and military.

“We welcome and collect all blood types, but the highest demand is always for O negative blood, since it is the universal blood type that anyone who needs a transfusion can use,” she said.

Blood-donor eligibility questions, and questions about FDA and DoD blood-donor requirements can be sent to Donna Onwona, donna-lee.onwona.civ@mail.mil.

People who can’t donate are asked to help build awareness of the ASBP’s mission and events and encourage their eligible colleagues.
