Local chamber honors more Belvoir personnel

By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Fort Belvoir police and fire personnel were honored at Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce’s 10th Annual Police and Fire Fighters Tribute, Nov. 17 at the Hilton Springfield.

The event, featuring fire and police departments from the local area, recognized individuals who made significant contributions to their departments and communities.

This is the second of two stories featuring Belvoir recipients and their citations. Last week’s Belvoir Eagle featured the others and is available online at belvoireagleonline.com.

Recipients are:

Jonathan Lang Fort Belvoir Firefighter of the Year

Firefighter Jonathan Lang is being recognized for his outstanding performance with the Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services.

Thanks to his level of efforts at Belvoir and throughout the nation, Firefighter Lang is “saving our own.”

Lang recently initiated a Peer Support Team and serves as the chairperson to lead members in all aspects of peer support and behavioral health in the fire service. He successfully coordinated an International Association of Firefighters

Peer Support Training certification for 35 members; provided a national presentation on peer support and substance abuse disorder for fire professionals in Vancouver, Canada; coordinated and implemented an Alcoholics Anonymous program for the IAFF Center of Excellence that opened in 2017; and became a licensed Peer Support Specialist through the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Lang is exceptionally dedicated to his fellow emergency services members.

Sgt. Christian J. McCreary Traffic Investigator of the Year

Sgt. McCreary is a valuable asset to the Fort Belvoir Traffic Management and Collision Division.

He has managed and coordinated more than 34 missions along with two high profile cases. He willingly takes on last-minute missions and assignments. His professionalism, outstanding work ethic, and loyalty have kept the Fort Belvoir community safe.

Sgt. DeWitt Parker Patrol Officer of the Year

Parker distinguished himself while serving as a lead police officer for the Fort Belvoir Police Department. He was selected by the chief of police to assume a temporary promotion as mid-shift lieutenant while the department underwent

limitations with the federal hiring process. His untiring efforts and can-do attitude testifies to his achievements and accolades as an outstanding lead police officer.

On May 28, while on patrol, Parker responded to an unresponsive pregnant woman. Upon arrival, he immediately recognized the woman was not breathing and rendered life-saving techniques until she began to breathe on her own. His life-saving efforts, ability to remain calm and assessment of the situation resulted in no loss of life for the mother or unborn child.

Parker has received praise from members of the Belvoir community for his ability to handle all situations professionally and fairly. He also takes time to get to know those who live and work on the installation.

Lt. Paul J. Arney Army Security Supervisor of the Year

Arney‘s exceptional leadership and dedication to duty sets the example for all of Belvoir’s Directorate of Emergency Services to emulate.

He exemplifies the Army value of selfless service through personal experience with leave restrictions, limited time off, and an average of 30 hours overtime per pay period.

He generates a positive and successful work environment, while simultaneously performing his supervisory guard duties. He ensured

mission accomplishment during severe manpower shortages, while guaranteeing all six access control points are properly manned to ensure that the more than 50,000 vehicles entering the installation each day are properly vetted before access is granted.

He also volunteers to teach multiple training courses to improve the department’s qualification standards. His achievements and leadership reflect credit upon himself and the installation.

Officer Sean Murphy Army Security Guard of the Year

Officer Sean Murphy has shown exceptional teamwork and dedication to the mission of Fort Belvoir Emergency Services. Murphy’s professionalism and positive attitude is exemplified by his willingness to help in any way.

His technical competence and working knowledge of the Virginia Criminal Information Network prevented unauthorized personnel from entering Belvoir on mid-shift.

In addition, Murphy directly contributed to more than 5,000 commercial vehicle inspections and Personally Owned Vehicle inspections, in accordance with the Random Anti-Terror Measure and Procedures. Murphy’s achievements are in keeping with the finest traditions of a federal government civilian employee.

New Garrison command team looking toward future

By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer For about the last month, Belvoir garrison’s new command team of Lt. Col. Chris Tomlinson and Command Sgt. Maj. Corey Perry have been getting settled into their new positions. They recently discussed their priorities for the way ahead for Fort Belvoir.

Taking over command from Col. Angie Holbrook, Tomlinson said he would further her legacy and push toward implementing IMCOM priorities, including infrastructure; emergency services; training regiments; and Soldiers and their families.

“We always have to be preparing for the future,” Tomlinson said. “I think it’s always incorporating and understanding that we have a limited amount of resources and making the best decisions with those limited resources, given the priorities.”

Perry added, “Our number-one priority is readiness, which lends to Col. Tomlinson’s focus on the future.”

With what he called an engaged style of leadership, Tomlinson said staying in touch with directorates and mission partners and knowing what they are doing is important.

“We’re here to provide exceptional services to this organization,” Tomlinson said. “We will lead in providing those services. We’re going to focus on excellence, but, at the same time, we’re going to be extremely responsive to people’s needs and wants. To the best of our ability, we’ll try to answer questions and issues, because, ultimately, we’re an organization that’s about creating readiness for our organization and for tenants, so they can do their mission.”

The garrison enables others to do their jobs and missions by providing exceptional services, he said.

To do that, the garrison listens to feedback and responds to the needs and wants of organizations to provide the best services.

“We want your feedback, because when we get it, we can respond. We

Lt. Col. Christopher Tomlinson can analyze it. We can provide a better-quality product and execute a better mission for the organization.

We’re listening,” Tomlinson said.

Perry agreed and said he, too, is interested in feedback. “If you see me around, by all means, tell me if something’s on your mind and I’ll do my best to answer, or find an answer,” he said. “If something you see is not right, let me know and I’ll be transparent about the ‘why.’”

“We are a community of likeminded people. We need to support each other to make Belvoir the best installation in the Military District of Washington,” Perry said.

“As garrison CSM, I, personally, would like to empower the junior NCO Corps to get back to training, mentoring and ensuring their Soldiers are ready and capable for any and all adversaries,” he said.

Fort Belvoir has a lot happening

on the installation, Tomlinson said, and its complexity requires relationships with a lot of people. The biggest challenge for Tomlinson is catching up and getting up to speed as new commander.

“It’s a community, it’s a team, it’s a mission effort. We cannot operate in isolation,” Tomlinson said. “Everyone has to be part of this effort and everyone is important to the installation’s success.

New garrison team hosting all hands

By Garrison Public Affairs Lt. Col. Christopher Tomlinson, Fort Belvoir Garrison commander; and garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Corey Perry host an all-hands meeting for garrison employees, Dec. 7, 10:00 a.m., in Thurman Auditorium.

Tomlinson took command Nov. 7 and Perry came on board Oct. 3. So, the meeting with employees introduces the new command team to the workforce and shares their combined garrison mission and vision.

Tomlinson will discuss IMCOM’s service culture initiative and sign a related leadership pledge to employees. Other topics that may be discussed are: the command team’s plans for the future and a question-and-answer session, time permitting.

Army scientist studies thunderstorms to improve battlefield missions

By Jenna Brady Army Research Laboratory Public Affairs An Army scientist working at the Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Md., has discovered a new pattern in the evolution of thunderstorms that can be used to better predict how weather and the environment will affect Army assets, like unmanned aerial systems on the battlefield.

Dr. Xiping Zeng, ARL meteorologist, recently presented his research at the 2017 NASA Precipitation Measurement Meeting, where he discussed how thunderstorm research is vital to the military. He also detailed two environmental factors that develop during these storms that need to be better predicted and closely monitored: downdrafts and super-cooled raindrops.

Strong downdrafts can lead to strong surface gusts, and supercooled rain drops, which remain liquid with a temperature below zero degrees Celsius, freezes immediately after colliding with aircraft.

“These two factors are disastrous to UAS, as they cause them to fall to the ground,” Zeng said.

“However, no current model accurately predicts this, because we have so little information on them.

This research has revealed a coupling of the two factors, providing a basis to understand and improve impact predictions.”

Zeng’s research has revealed a new pattern of down and updraft alternation and further found the pattern reduces the chance of supercooled drops.

The new discovery provides a basis to understand and further predict the two factors.

According to Zeng, prediction in the battlefield environment is a challenge in the era of high technology (for example, unmanned aircraft systems) and ARL researchers work to improve numerical weather prediction for such environments.

Zeng will further observe and model the downdrafts in thunderstorms and then develop an algorithm to better represent them.

He hopes the improved algorithm will be able to effectively predict surface gusts and super-cooled rain drops more accurately for UAS in adverse weather with thunderstorms.

To infinity and beyond: Space and Missile Defense Command leads Army into space

By Jason B. Cutshaw USASMDC/ARSTRAT Public Affairs For Soldiers looking to take their career to the ultimate height -- literally – Redstone Arsenal, Alabama’s U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command oversees Functional Area 40, or FA40, the space operations officer and Army space cadre development and management selection for Soldiers looking to transition to a career in space.

“FA40 officers serve in operating and generating force positions supporting the Army and unified action partners that focus on delivering space capabilities to the warfighter today, as well as developing and integrating space capabilities for the future,” said Mike Connolly, director, USASMDC/ARSTRAT Army Space Personnel Development Office.

Soldiers are selected for the FA40 after a competitive selection process through the Voluntary Transfer Incentive Program, which can occur at the four-year mark of a Soldier’s career. Besides their technical abilities, Soldiers applying for the FA40 are also evaluated based on their values and leadership capabilities.

Once designated, FA40 officers attend the Space Operations Officer Qualification Course that includes the National Security Space Institute; the Space 200 course; and seven weeks of Army-focused, space training provided by the SMDC Directorate of Training and Doctrine.

“These courses, 11 weeks in total, are the foundation for FA40 education,” said Robert C. Hoffman, chief of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense School Space Training Division. “This is the course that takes Army officers from their basic branch and teaches them the fundamentals or the ‘science’ of space operations.”

Higher-level courses and seminars are also required as the officer progresses, and officers can also attend other training based on specific requirements of the billet they

are being assigned against. Courses include Special Technical Operations; Tactical Space Operations; Space Control Training; Joint Tactical Ground Station or Advanced Space Operations School.

While FA40 officers originally comprised the space cadre, the program expanded in 2007 to include other military occupational specialties and areas of concentration, as well as Army Civilians who perform duties in one of the five, space-mission categories.

There are currently more than 5,000 personnel identified as members of the Army space cadre in all three components throughout the Army.

Connolly emphasized the importance of the growing Army space cadre. “Our Army has an unrelenting dependence on space capabilities to execute unified land operations, in support of the combatant commander’s objectives,” he said. “The Army is one of the largest users of space and is also a provider of space-based capabilities. Accordingly, the Army needs Soldiers and civilians who understand the space mission areas and how space is integrated with other warfighting capabilities.

“The Army space cadre is an untapped resource within organizations; with the space domain being a contested environment, the importance of space-enabled capabilities and the Army space cadre will continue to grow,” Connolly said.

Connolly added that every day, millions of Americans swipe credit cards for everything from bank transactions to gas purchases to renting movies, never realizing that each of those swipes relies on a space-based capability for success.

“In our society, space has become so normalized, that most are no longer paying attention,” he said. “However, as military and civilian leadership are increasingly exposed to the capabilities being provided to our national defense through and from space, the requirement to fully understand and employ offensive and defensive measures will only expand.

U.S. Army image

Satellites for communication and global positioning are vital components for a commander’s use on the modern battlefield.

Army Space — today and in the future Provided by U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command What is it?

Space is a vital enabler and component to the U.S. Army’s multi-domain battle capability. The Army uses space largely to enhance the effectiveness of the combat forces. The Army can communicate, navigate, find and target the enemy, anticipate weather and protect its forces, based on combat and support assets available from space.

The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command is the Army’s proponent for space, missile defense and high-altitude capabilities.

What is the Army doing?

USASMDC/ARSTRAT Soldiers and civilians operate systems that provide satellite communications, space situational awareness, and missile warning and defense for the Army and DoD.

• Space operations officers and the Army space cadre make a combined, effective combat multiplier known as the Army space forces.

• Army space forces plan, coordinate and analyze the space force enhancement areas: intelligence; surveillance; reconnaissance; missile warning; environmental monitoring; satellite communication; and position, navigation and timing.

• Army space support teams provide tailorable force enhancement support embedded in the division, corps and Army.

• Joint Tactical Ground Stations, are forwarddeployed, echelon-above-corps systems designed to receive, process and disseminate missile warning data -- delivering 24/7 theater missile warning to deployed forces.

What continued efforts does the Army have planned?

SMDC will continue to operate Army opera-

tional space capabilities across the globe through units that are regionally aligned to support most combatant commands. SMDC provides 24/7/365 space capabilities for the Army and the joint fight.

Space capabilities at the company and squad level will be expanded by developing small satellite systems to provide beyond line-of-site voice and data relay communications and direct downlink tactical satellite imagery capabilities ondemand to these units.

Why is this important?

The precise, lethal and discriminative application of the U.S. military forces can be done in the modern era because space capabilities mitigate the constraints of terrain, distance and time.

More than 70 percent of the Army’s key weapons and equipment rely on a space-based service or capability -- modernizing existing systems and developing future systems enhances the Army’s forces’ readiness and lethality.

When I got up today—Monday, Nov. 20—I was still in complete befuddlement about what happened in that Redskins –Saints game. In fact, looking back over a few previous games—like the one against the Minnesota Vikings a week before—I’m struggling more than ever to find an explanation as to what’s going on with this team.

So many times, now, the Redskins have been poised to secure an almost guaranteed win, leading by two scores late in the fourth quarter. And then, the whole thing goes up in smoke.

So upsetting (and unfortunately, frequently occurring) these late-game collapses have become that I’m starting to think someone in the NFL’s public affairs or marketing departments has decided the league is not exciting enough and has contracted the Redskins to provide a kind of comic relief to the season. If that’s the case, it’s not funny.

If there’s any pattern to these losses, at least half of the problem exists in Washington’s normally effective defense. Take the Saints game: when Drew Brees and company started marching back up the field trailing by 8 points with scarcely two minutes remaining, the Redskins secondary appeared to have suffered some collective breakdown in understanding man defense.

I mean, they knew the Saints would stay in the air for such a comeback drive. Still, that real estate behind the defensive line was nearly vacant and Brees connected at will over the middle. Offensively, this team made some Pee Wee league mistakes, and they made them—as usual—at the least opportune time. If anything stands as a monument to errors in judgment (and this includes the referees), it has to be Cousins’ intentional grounding penalty, followed closely by a false start flag that was just enough to push them back out of field goal range.

Truly, these circumstances would be downright funny if they weren’t so darned ugly.

As a 40-year fan, I’ve come to expect such goofiness, and it’s not like they’re playing badly against strong teams. Still, it’s the scoreboard that counts and I don’t know how much longer this team’s followers are going to be able to stand the stress. Maybe these telecasts need a Surgeon General’s warning.

Retiring INSCOM Command Sgt. Maj. Dayron I. Vargas speaks to family, leaders and friends at his retirement ceremony. Vargas retired after more than 30 years of service.

Former INSCOM Command Sgt. Maj. Dayron I. Vargas’ mother, left, gives the invocation during his retirement ceremony at the Fort Belvoir Community Center, Nov. 17. CSM Vargas is on the right; Maj. Gen. Christopher S. Ballard, center; INSCOM commanding general, served as the ceremony’s presiding officer.

INSCOM says goodbye to top enlisted leader with unique retirement ceremony

By Sgt. Jeff Storrier Intelligence and Security Command Public Affairs The U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, INSCOM, bid farewell to a leader who was truly one of their own, with a heartfelt retirement ceremony at the Fort Belvoir Community Center, Nov. 17.

Active duty and retired sergeants major, officers and NCOs flew in from far and wide for the ceremony to say goodbye and thanks to Command Sgt. Maj. Dayron I. Vargas, who formed a remarkable career in logistics and military intelligence that spanned over three decades.

The ceremony featured a unique presentation of a U.S. Flag with a procession of Soldiers representing all echelons of the enlisted ranks, issuing statements and passing the folded National Colors through the ranks, ultimately ending up with a sergeant major, who passed it dutifully to Vargas.

Vargas, true to form, was succinct in describing the principles that served him so well along his journey of selfless service and leadership.

“It’s very simple to me - invest in people and take care of them,” Vargas said, looking out into the large crowd that gathered to celebrate his career. “When Soldiers believe you care more about them than you do yourself, they will do anything for you and for the team.”

In addition to the audience of

INSCOM Soldiers, Sgt. Douglas Blisard, left; and Staff Sgt. Jonathan Bledsoe, pass a ceremonial U.S. flag as part of the National Colors presentation during former INSCOM Command Sgt. Maj. Dayron I. Vargas’ retirement ceremony at Fort Belvoir Community Center, Nov. 17.

Vargas is rear, center. senior leaders, peers and subordinates, Vargas’ family also came out in droves, 17 in total, serving as a reminder of the love and support Vargas also gave and received on the home front throughout his career.

Maj. Gen. Christopher S. Ballard, INSCOM commanding general and the ceremony’s presiding officer, was earnest in his remarks when looking back on the career of his for-

mer senior enlisted adviser.

“The service of a Soldier over 32 years is more than what you will find in his Enlisted Records Brief,” he said of Vargas. “It is represented in his family and friends. But, perhaps most importantly, his service is renewed by the remarkable men and women of our Army who have been shaped by his leadership.”

Ballard reminded those who attended that as Vargas completed

his “passing of the torch” to the next generation of enlisted leaders, he can rest assured he made a difference in their eyes and in making the Army better.

Vargas echoed that sentiment as he addressed “his formation” one last time.

“When I look out into this audience, I’m comforted,” he said. “I know this Army is in great hands with leaders like you. Vigilance always, keep up the fire!”

Vargas’ key assignments included serving as a technical security adviser to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon; first sergeant with the 111th Military Intelligence Brigade, Fort Huachuca, Ariz; senior enlisted leader, Defense Threat Reduction Agency-Europe, Darmstadt, Germany; command sergeant major, 715th MI Battalion, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; command sergeant major, 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, I Corps, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.; and command sergeant major, 500th MI Brigade, Schofield Barracks.

During his final assignment as INSCOM’s command sergeant major, Vargas provided the utmost leadership and mentorship for all NCOs, imposed sound advice to the command’s officers, and care and compassion for all Soldiers and their families in a command comprised of 17,500 Soldiers, Army civilians and contractors, at 180 locations in 45 countries.
