Members of the Warrior Transition Unit at Fort Eustis attended a town hall meeting Aug. 15 with leadership from both the McDonald Army Health Center and the WTU to address their healthcare concerns. Held quarterly, the WTU town hall meeting is designed to facilitate interactions between the company-level command team and the Soldiers in transition assigned to the WTU. During the meeting, Soldiers were able to discuss concerns with leaders from MCAHC, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, 733rd Mission Support Group and the Soldier and Family Assistance Center. U.S. Army Col. Glenda J. Lock, MCAHC commander, expressed her desire to support the healing process for Soldiers in transition assigned to the WTU. “As the commander of [MCAHC], I maintain open lines of communication with Soldiers in transition to ensure we are fully addressing any healthcare concerns or administrative issues they may experience during their transition,” Lock

said. “Their issues may not arise or be addressed during our normally-occurring meetings or venues. Having open lines of communication with them will ensure they have access to me.” In addition to a direct line of communication with the health center commander, transitioning Soldiers can also provide positive and negative feedback to command leadership at the company and garrison level. “Any and every unit in the Army needs and deserves open communication; however, with the WTU and the triad of care we provide for the wounded, ill and injured Soldiers, it is imperative that communication flows up the chain as well as down to the Soldiers in transition,” said U.S. Army Capt. Erika Wall, WTU commander. “The town hall [meeting] allows the Soldiers to voice their comments and questions to the appropriate agency handling their transition, whether it is related to medical boards, facilities or Army and Veterans Affairs programs.” Following the open forum, Wall opened the floor to other WTU leadership who briefed Soldiers about the WTU Adaptive Sports Program, as well as information on the benefits offered to them by the Wounded Warrior Project.

Fort Eustis support operations are on the move By Staff Sgt. Wesley Farnsworth 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Below is a complete list of all offices affected by this move, with new locations:

Service members looking to visit support offices previously located in various buildings around Fort Eustis will find that they may not be in the same location by the end of September. As part of the move, all activities currently located in building 601 will be moving to building 705 to make room for elements of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, which are currently off post, and will move on post into building 601. Additionally, the Transportation Safety office, the 633rd Air Base Wing Safety office and Mission and Installation Contracting Command will also relocate to building 705. This move allows the installation to demolish several older, substandard facilities. The move, which started in early August with the relocation of the Army Career and Alumni Program office, should greatly benefit the Fort Eustis community, said John Volkers, 733rd

Moving to building 705, 705 Washington Blvd.: • 733rd Mission Support Group command section to suite 83 • 633rd Air Base Wing Protocol to suite 97 • 733rd MSG Budget to suite 80 • 733rd Force Support Division to suite 136 • 633rd ABW Public Affairs to suite 147 • Army Support Activity Command Elements and Budget to suites 126 and 129 • Casualty Assistance to suite 132 • 633rd ABW Internal Review to suite 223 • 633rd ABW Anti-terrorism and Force Protection to suite 158 • Civilian Personnel Advisory Center to suites 68, 71, 74, 77 and 99 • 733rd MSG Logistics Readiness Division to suites 118, 20 and 123 • 633rd ABW Information Protection to suites 160 and 162 • 633rd ABW Safety office to suite 169 • Transportation Safety to suite 165 • Mission and Installation Contracting Command to west wing suites 102, 107, 122, 126, 133 and 143 Additionally, the Red Cross will be moving from building 601 to building 650.

Force Support Division director. “This move is going to make it a lot easier for Service members and their families to visit multiple services at the same time by putting us in one location,” Volkers said. “It’s also going to allow [the services] to better communicate and coordinate with each other which will provide our customers better service.” While no lapse in services is currently projected, customers are advised to call with any questions.

ARM YOURSELF FOR OPPORTUNITY WITH A CYBERSECURITY DEGREE.

To win the battle in cyberspace, we need more cyber warriors. University of Maryland University College (UMUC) has answered the call, educating the next generation of cybersecurity specialists in the public and private sectors. Our accessible on-site and online degree programs have been recognized for excellence by NSA and DHS. And many of UMUC’s courses address industry-standard certifications, including several on the DoD 8570 list. UMUC is affordable, too, with scholarships for those who qualify, a no-interest monthly payment plan and participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Because the nation’s battle for cybersecurity can’t afford to be without you.

Troops call it the pointy end of the spear. Where the rubber meets the road. The place where some say, half-jokingly, no plan survives ďŹ rst contact with the enemy. American Service members deployed in scores of places around the world serve as a strong deterrent against potential threats. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stood in one such place Aug. 15 and talked to Service members – U.S. and partnered – and civilians manning the tactical operations center. Their mission is to partner with Jordanian forces that are grappling with security and refugee challenges caused by the civil conict in Syria. Picture ďŹ eld-expedient, theater-style seating packed with scores of military support planners at computers, backed by a maze of plywood partitions marking off ofďŹ ce cubicles, all baking under a metal warehouse roof while the few air conditioning units generate noise, but little relief. The chairman answered a military-readiness question asked by an American Soldier holding private ďŹ rst class rank. The Soldier said he didn’t feel he’d had enough training to be prepared for combat, and he commented that equipment was “constantly breaking down.â€? The chairman said budget challenges are affecting maintenance – keeping equipment combat-ready – and pre-deployment training. “What we’re trying to do is to shield the deploying units from that challenge – so I

don’t care what branch of service you’re in; if you’re not scheduled for deployment in the next year, your training is affected and your readiness is affected in terms of maintenance,� Dempsey said. He explained that leaders “are moving the money� so U.S. military units coming up on deployment get priority in training dollars. “I hope that’s a problem that’s unique to this year – but it may not be,� Dempsey added. “It might be that we suffer one more year of this.� The chairman referenced a previous question, when someone had asked him about the likely pace of future deployments. “We talk about predictability in deployments,� he noted. “I wish my budget was predictable.� The chairman told troops he doesn’t have the option of throwing up his hands and telling the nation’s leaders, “We don’t have enough predictability, so we’re going to ‘squat and hold.’� SEE CHAIRMAN PAGE 10

Through the ages: CATM instructor carries legacy By Staff Sgt. Ashley Hawkins

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. William Delphia, 633rd Security Forces Squadron combat arms training and maintenance instructor, explains firing procedures while on the CATM range at Langley Air Force Base, Aug. 13.The CATM instructors teach weapons qualifications for various reasons such as Service members deploying and undergoing permanent change of station.

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

“It’s not so much a father and son relationship now – it’s like a brotherhood.” U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. William Delphia said he has gained both strength and wisdom from his father, a former Airman. Delphia, a 633rd Security Forces Squadron combat arms training and maintenance instructor at Langley Air Force Base has spent his enlistment continuing the legacy of his father and paternal grandfather. “I talked to him every day before I left for basic training,” said Delphia. “He still talks about the military. My dad says once you’ve been in, you have this connection with everybody else who’s ever been in. I am now basically walking the path that he walked.” Delphia’s father, Bruce, served the early part of his eight-year enlistment first as an Air Force security policeman, then as an office of special investigations agent. Coupled with Delphia’s grandfather and mother’s service in the Air Force, it seemed natural that he would

do the same. “I wanted to come in the Air Force as a member of security forces. It was my number one choice,” said Delphia. “My grandfather was air police in the ‘50s and my father was security police in the ‘70s and ‘80s, so I’m a third-generation cop. It’s pretty much been my entire life.” After graduating college, Delphia joined

the Air Force in 2009 at the age of 24. Even though he had a degree, it was still difficult for him to find a job and juggle the responsibilities of being a new parent. He decided it was time to call his father for a long conversation. “I was on the phone with my dad one day and I was going on about how difficult it was to make any money,” he said. “I needed

stability, I needed focus and I needed something that would be a career, not just a job. He told me, ‘The Air Force was good to me and your mom. They took care of us and they gave us everything we needed.’” That encouragement was all Delphia needed to make the decision “to grow up.” “It’s like I just knew it,” he said. After deciding to join the Air Force, Bruce’s words encouraged him to finally make up his mind to join the security forces team. “I originally wanted to be an aerial gunner, then my dad told me the story about him being security police and his experiences with it,” said Delphia. “He said it was part of the best years of his life, so that kind of sold me.” After graduating basic training, Delphia spent the first three years of his enlistment in another state at Joint Base Cape Cod, Mass. Located away from home made it difficult to see and talk with his father as much as he liked. SEE LEGACY PAGE 10

At the end of the tour, the group retired a flag created in August 1990 by 1st Fighter Wing wives.

Desert Shield flag brings pride back to Langley By Airman Areca T. Wilson 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

A flag, decorated with patches of associated squadrons along with patterns of fighter jets, was designed in 1990 to raise the morale and reflect the unity and love toward the Airmen of the 1st Tactical Fighter Wing, during their support of Operation Desert Shield. After 23 years, the flag finally made its way home to Langley Air Force Base during the 1st Fighter Wing Association reunion Aug. 16. The 1st FWA consists of past and present members of the 1st Fighter Group or Wing, charged with the mission of preserving the heritage of the organization. Previously, the flag had been kept by retired U.S. Air Force Col. Bob Corson, former 1st Operations Group commander and veteran of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. “The flag represents the memories of a place and a time,” said Corson. “It represents the contribution that my wife and other wives made on behalf of all the families. It was to signify the support of

every one of the 1st TFW.” The flag was designed by military spouses Suzi Corson, Connie McBroom, Pattie Sokol, Linda Summers and Fran Cwynar in August 1990 shortly after the wing’s deployment to Saudi Arabia. After its creation, the flag went to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, traveling with history of 1st TFW Airmen. Now as it is being presented back to the 1st FW, Corson said he hopes it serves as a symbol of sacrifice and excellence for years to come. “I think Airmen should look at that flag and realize that they are part of a family,” said Corson. “I would hope they stand tall

with pride in what they do and look at anything from the past and imagine what people were going through at the time.” Before the flag’s presentation, Airmen were given a glimpse into the history of their wing when WW II fighter pilots told colorful tales of first experiences, friendship and service before self. One such pilot was Bob Riley, who told a story of surviving his first experience with the P-38. “I remember when I first flew the P-38, I said, ‘I wonder how this baby can do aer-

“I think Airmen should look at that flag and realize that they are part of a family,” said Corson. “I would hope they stand tall with pride in what they do and look at anything from the past and imagine what people were going through at the time.” — Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Bob Corson former 1st Operations Group commander and veteran of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm

obatics,’ and I decided to try a loop. Pretty soon I must have been standing on my tail and I decided there was no way in hell I was going to make it,” said Riley with a laugh. “I shoved forward and headed down. I have not told that story to many people.” Airmen in attendance, both past and present, listened intently to their predecessors as the heritage displayed in the flag made 23 years ago was magnified during the story telling, culminating with the flag’s presentation to the wing. “In honor of the men and women of the 1st Tactical Fighter Wing who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and in recognition and appreciation of the women who gave their time, talent and love, this flag is presented on the 16th day of August 2013,” said Corson as he read the citation. “May those who defend our country always know the same love, pride, support and unity. God bless America and those who keep it free.”

CHAIRMAN FROM PAGE 4

LEGACY FROM PAGE 6

Dempsey added, “What you’re doing here is serving our nation’s interests, and ensuring the security of your family members and your fellow citizens. And we’re going to do that. “And sometimes – and this is the part that bothers me a lot, and bothers all of us who call ourselves leaders -- we don’t want to send you someplace unless you’re absolutely ready to go,” he continued. “And I think that probably [there were] a couple of occasions this year where we had to do that, and you may be one of them.” Dempsey told the private first class, “Here’s my commitment to you. You need to let us know where you felt there were gaps ... in your preparedness, and we’ll address them.” The chairman said troops who are deployed around the world performing the nation’s missions “shouldn’t feel any pressure of readiness. And if you do, let us know where and we’ll straighten it out.” Dempsey cautioned his audience that everyone else across the services “will be feeling it.” “And we’ve got to fight our way through that,” he said.

Once Delphia took his chance to crosstrain into CATM, one of two separate career fields within security forces along with military working dog handler, he felt everything had fallen into place. He knew it was the perfect decision when he found out his new base would be an hour away from where his father lived. Langley is Delphia’s second duty station, and also where he attended Airman Leadership School. He was very excited about the move as it allowed him and his father to become closer than ever. “I graduated ALS from here and he came down to my graduation,” said Delphia. “I was with the [MWD handlers] who were graduating, and we were all at the same table. [My father] said it was just like when he was in the military. They welcomed him as soon as they found out he was a prior cop. He said he felt like he belonged.” After Delphia graduated ALS, he was excited and ready to begin his mission as a combat arms instructor. Delphia instructs U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines on various weapons, supporting the Joint Task Force-Civil Support command in the area, and enjoys every detail of his job.

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Bruce Delphia was part of a security police unit at Torrejón Air Base, Spain in 1983. Staff Sgt. William Delphia, 633rd Security Forces Squadron combat arms training and maintenance instructor, decided to enlist in the same career field as his father, Bruce, continuing a heritage of security policemen.

“I love it – I absolutely love it. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything that makes me as happy,” he said. “I’d always been fascinated with weapons and really enjoyed learning about the different mechanisms, so it’s like the dream job. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.” As much as Delphia adores his job, he admits there can be some monotonous days. That doesn’t stop him from continu-

ing the ongoing mission of getting his fellow Service members weapons qualified. “It has its moments, but that’s with any job,” said Delphia. “You’re going to have days when you just don’t want to do anything, but there are other days when you think, ‘This is it – this is exactly why I wanted to do this.’ With combat arms, every day I think, ‘This is exactly what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be.’” At the end of the day, Delphia feels it all comes down to cherishing every aspect of the job. Although he is partial to being a CATM instructor, he plans on continuing to serve his country for at least 20 years, no matter the profession. “My ultimate reason for staying in 20 years – I love my job,” said Delphia. “You have your sense of patriotism, but it’s really all about enjoying what I’m doing. I think that’s the only reason to stay in a job. I’m going to have to bounce around – I know I can’t do combat arms forever. But, whatever job I pick next, I will love it.” Delphia now understands the joy and pride Bruce feels when reminiscing about his time in service. Their shared commitment and pride in the mission has created a stronger bond, fostering a proud tradition that has lasted three generations.

Some choices are hard; this one is easy. You want your family to be safe and secure, and that’s what we do.

At ease.

Langley Air Force Base hosted the “W We are Family” reunion Aug. 16 at the Langley dorm mitory field as the final event of a 60-day campaign to bring b awareness to sexual assault. The campaign was created as a respon nse to the Department of Defense-directed stand do own day for all services to emphasize the importan nce of sexual assault prevention. As part of “We Are Family,” the 633rd Air Base The “We A Are Family” Wing organized various campaign n was creevents to bolster wingated as a response man culture on Langley epartment to the De in an effort to eliminate of Defens se-directed sexual assaults. “Here at Joint Base stand do own day Langley-Eustis, there are for all services s so many different wings to emph hasize the and mission partners and importanc ce of sexual for the most part, everyassault prevention. one sticks to their own mission,” said Chief Master Sgt. Trae King, 633rd ABW command chief. “We gathered people from all different operations across the installation and involved them in the planning and events so that wee would have participation throughout the base.” In addition to the reunion, different events were held during the campaign to create o open lines of communication among Airmen, includin ng an improvisational comedy presentation, a base retreat ceremony and a Single Airman Initiative blo ock party. “This campaign did a wonderful job b of bringing awareness about sexual assault to the basse,” said Master Sgt. Eric Brown, 633rd Force Suppo ort Squadron

Shellbank Fitness Center fitness and sports section chief, a volunteer at the reunion. “They involved everyone from the highest ranking to the lowest.” According to Chaplain (Capt.) Michael McDonald, 633rd ABW chaplain, these events fostered an environment where Service members felt comfortable in reporting sexual assaults. “Being able to hear personal experiences rather than statistics is important,” he said. “The discussions that have come from these events have given Service members the confidence to come forward.” As the final event of the “We Are Family” campaign, the reunion featured activities such as games, raffles, music from the Blue Aces, a mechanical bull, informational booths and inflatable party equipment. Through these activities, the event helped to bring Airmen together in a way where everyone could view themselves as family, said James Murrell, 633rd

FSS Community Center director, who helped organize the event. “We are all on the same team and the people who are celebrating with us here today are the same people who have our backs out on the front lines,” said Murrell. “Being able to identify them outside of a work environment builds camaraderie.” When reflecting on the campaign as a whole, King said the various events were successful in changing the wingman culture and bringing a feeling of closeness to the base. “I feel our goals to raise awareness, prevent sexual assault and bring the installation together were accomplished,” said King. “In doing that, we have created an atmosphere of family.” Even though the “We Are Family” campaign has come to a close, the efforts to bring awareness to sexual assault prevention will continue to be a primary focus not just for JBLE, but for all branches of service.

Two staff sergeants have contributed to the completion of approximately 620 jobs this summer alone, with an estimated completion of 300 more in the next month, all in an effort to help their fellow wingmen. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgts. Andrew LaBrake and Jack Olney, 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron heating, ventilation and air conditioning craftsmen, work tirelessly to maintain the dormitory HVAC systems at Langley Air Force Base, Va., making sure the residents stay cool during the sweltering summer months using the Rover system. Introduced eight months ago as a direct digital control to repair the units, the newly-installed Rover system allows the HVAC team to be ready for any power outage or electrical issue that may arise. Repair times are quicker, which means

With the newly-installed Rover system, the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron HVAC team is ready for any power outage or electrical issue that may arise. Repair times are quicker, which means turn-arounds are much shorter. turn-arounds are much shorter. “Basically, we can plug [the Rover] into [the fan coil system] and reprogram as we see fit,” said LaBrake. “Before we had that, over time, we’d have maintenance alarms, loss of man hours and sometimes loss of equipment. Now with Rover, I grab the computer [and] plug it in. I’m always a couple key clicks away from fixing [units].” SEE HVAC PAGE 17

HVAC FROM PAGE 16 Before the Rover system was introduced as a quicker, more cost-efficient means for maintenance issues, repairing things such as a fan coil unit would take hours, even days, to complete. As a result of ongoing incidents such as power outages and system reprogramming, the HVAC team’s daily routines consist of repairing fan coil units, which are used to maintain the temperature points set by the thermostat, and repairing the 19 new chilled-water systems, or chillers, installed to produce cold water that is circulated throughout the facilities instead of chemicals. The “dorm crew” is only one team of six HVAC crews who take in thousands of calls each summer. “Every dorm call is an urgent call, which means we only have five days [to complete them],” said LaBrake. “With roughly 1,100 residents, we’ll usually walk in to 10 or 12 new jobs, daily.” Due to the constant amount of shortnotice work orders resulting from frequent summer storms, LaBrake and Olney have had to put in several long days to accomplish the mission. “At least once a week we’ll have something commercial to work on that’ll definitely eat into our day,” said LaBrake. “Sometimes it’s simple, and other times we would have to re-run lines; lately it’s been a lot of electrical work.” Though the work may seem overwhelming, what keeps them motivated is the importance of the job and the satisfaction of getting it done. “I love working with my hands; it’s something different every day,” said Olney. “Even though they’re the same units, there are always new issues with them, and Rover makes repairs easier.” Before Rover, depending on the building and the repair issue, some jobs would not be completed on time because of the

“The only thing a resident knows is [that] it’s hot. We worked a couple extra hours because [we know] that, and 1,100 people [were] cool again They might not have seen us; most of them don’t even know we’re here, but I helped 1,100 people. It feels great.” — Staff Sgt. Andrew LaBrake 633rd CES HVAC craftsman

significant amount of work put into maintaining them manually, said LeBrake. He said being able make timely repairs gives him great passion for his job. “This is where people live,” said LaBrake. “So, if it’s getting towards the end of the day, and you know it’s going to be 102 degrees out, we’ll try to finish up everything we can.” According to LaBrake, the newer dorms’ complicated architecture would cause a significant amount of tear-downs and technical reprogramming. The resident would have to wait days, sometimes weeks, for their unit to be repaired. This summer shows significant changes in repair times compared to last year, due to the Rover system, Olney said. The HVAC team is able to complete more repairs throughout the day, which means fewer maintenance calls are elevated through the dorm residents’ chain of command. For LaBrake, the only gratification he needs is knowing he contributed to making the Airmen’s lives easier. “The only thing a resident knows is [that] it’s hot,” said LaBrake. “We worked a couple extra hours because [we know] that, and 1,100 people [were] cool again. They might not have seen us; most of them don’t even know we’re here, but I helped 1,100 people. It feels great.” To LaBrake and Olney, it’s not just a job – it’s a way to help their fellow Airmen living in the dormitories.

By Staff Sgt. Stephanie Rubi The moment a couple learns they are expecting can bring overwhelming feelings of joy, happiness, nervousness or panic. The journey ahead may seem unpredictable and chaotic, but expecting parents can receive the care they need from clinics at USAF Hospital Langley, where a knowledgeable staff is available to guide them through their journey. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health, Radiology, Labor and Delivery, and Pediatrics play a vital role in the well-being of an expecting mother and her baby. The ďŹ rst area new parents will visit is Obstetrics in the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Clinic and then ultrasound in the Radiology Clinic. After receiving a positive pregnancy test from a primary health care provider, the patient will be referred to the WHC. The ďŹ rst appointment is to assess the overall health of the motherto-be. Parents often will hear their babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartbeat for the ďŹ rst time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part of my job is when I hear fetal heart tones,â&#x20AC;? said U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Randi Robertson, 633rd Surgical Operations Squadron aerospace medical technician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my gosh,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the very ďŹ rst time I heard a babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartbeat.

technicians and administrative personnel ready to assist expecting parents at each appointment through the 40-week gestation period. Between 10 to 12 weeks of gestation, the patient will be seen for their second appointment and at 16 weeks, the baby is tested for chromosomal abnormalities. At the 16to 20-week point, the mother-to-be will have her ďŹ rst appointment with an ultrasound technician. U.S. Army Private 1st Class Samantha Soto, 359th Inland Cargo Transfer Company cargo specialist, visited both clinics within her ďŹ rst and second trimester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ďŹ rst visited the WHC and I had a very pleasant experience. Everyone was so kind and sweet to me,â&#x20AC;? said Soto, during her visit to ultrasound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I get to see my baby and ďŹ nd out what I am having; all I am hoping for is a happy and healthy baby.â&#x20AC;? U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Tamra Whiting, 633rd Surgical Operations Squadron ultrasound noncommissioned ofďŹ cer in charge, performed the ultrasound for Soto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a girl,â&#x20AC;? Whiting told Soto, during her appointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been an ultrasound technician for 10 years and I still love it. I get to share that special moment with my patients

and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a rewarding feeling.â&#x20AC;? During an ultrasound, the technician measures various areas such as the head, umbilical cord and spine to guarantee the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth is on schedule with the gestation period. Technicians also have the ability to detect any abnormalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early detection is crucial to mother and child,â&#x20AC;? said Whiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If something is detected, it allows time for radiologists, obstetrics and parents to create a plan for baby and mother prior to delivery.â&#x20AC;? According to U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Pinero, 633rd Surgical Operations Squadron ultrasound ďŹ&#x201A;ight commander and radiologist, ultrasounds are the safest way to monitor a baby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no radiation involved and we can perform as many ultrasounds as needed to make sure the baby is healthy without causing any harm,â&#x20AC;? said Pinero â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultrasounds are 100 percent safe for mom and baby.â&#x20AC;? After the ultrasound is complete, a radiologist reviews what the technician has captured and discusses all ďŹ ndings with the obstetric physician. The patient will then return to the WHC for a follow-up appointment to discuss the results. SEE CLINICS PAGE 22

Âľ9LEUDQW 5HVSRQVHÂś WUDLQV WURRSV IRU QXFOHDU GLVDVWHU By Staff Sgt. Tomora Clark 13TH PUBLIC AFFAIRS DETACHMENT

It is not a scene one would wish to envision: an explosion in an American town, with the emergency response broadcast blaring a message of caution over loud speakers to concerned citizens affected by the blast. Burning buildings, clothes scattered in every direction, debris blocking once-passable roadways, all are merely a small portion of a nightmare scenario. During the ďŹ eld training exercise Vibrant Response 13-2 (VR 13-2) which ran Aug. 10-17 at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC), Joint Task Force Civil Support teams trained for the unexpected, including teams from Fort Eustis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The venues at MUTC, along with ability to use multiple smoke and ďŹ&#x201A;ame effects, enhance the training and make it as real as it gets,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Condon, joint exercise planner, U.S. Army North (Fifth Army). About 5,700 Service members and civilians from local, state and federal agencies ďŹ&#x201A;ooded in to the MUTC and Camp Atterbury training areas to train on responding to a catastrophic domestic incident. VR 13-2, a major ďŹ eld training exercise conducted by U.S. Northern Command and led by U.S. Army North, is designed to help all components respond to disasters in a timely manner as they provide assis-

tance to the American people. The MUTC is a 1,000-acre urban training site near Camp Atterbury, Ind., that specializes in real-world training scenarios. The training center is designed to add realism by simulating an actual American city in turmoil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The environment replicates an actual American town,â&#x20AC;? said Jay Norris, an observer controller/trainer division chief with U.S. Army North. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has all the facilities of a typical small town, and that is the type of environment weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be operating in after a disaster strikes. The scenario is set in an American city where there has been a nuclear detonation, and these units are responding to that disaster.â&#x20AC;? Taking advantage of the unique training environment are the civil support team units, which have speciďŹ c missions they train for in order to prepare them for a real-world, American catastrophe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The MUTC] looks like the very ďŹ rst episode of the TV series â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Walking Deadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with ďŹ res blazing and the appearance of absolute desertion,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt.
