By Cheryl Pellerin DoD News, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITy
WASHINGTON, October 14, 2015 — For the seventh year in a row Congress has failed to pass a defense appropriations bill in time for the ďŹ scal year, and for four years the Defense Department and other agencies have struggled against sequestration impacts, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said today. He delivered keynote remarks during the Association of the U.S. Army annual conference, taking time to thank Army leaders past and present, Army colleagues and those on his staff, and soldiers everywhere for their service to the nation. “Making indiscriminate cuts is managerially inefďŹ cient and therefore ‌ wasteful to taxpayers and industry ‌ it’s dangerous for our strategy and frankly it’s embarrassing around the world. And it is dispiriting to our talented people and their families who deserve to know better what the future holds,â€? Carter said. DoD has done its best to manage through this prolonged period of budget uncertainty, the secretary said, making painful choices and tradeoffs among size, capabilities and readiness of the joint force. “We cannot as a nation allow this to become the new normal,â€? he said. “In today’s security environment we need to be dynamic and we need to be responsive. What we have now is a straitjacket.â€?
Three Commitments Also during his remarks, Carter described three commitments he made when he became defense secretary and how the Army is central to each one. His commitments are to the current force, to the president to provide candid strategic advice, and to the future of the nation and the force. “Through 14 years of counterinsurgency and countless missions our soldiers performed with excellence. No other
force in history, in the world, could have executed or adapted as well as our total Army, [along with] our Guard and Reserves. They learned hard-fought lessons and quickly adjusted,â€? Carter said. Today, he said, soldiers of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team are training Ukrainian security forces to defend against aggression, and the 8th Army stands on the Korean Peninsula, where â€œďŹ ght tonightâ€? is not a slogan but a mindset.. Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division advised Iraqi and Kurdish forces confronting ISIL, he added, and soldiers of the 25th Infantry Division reinvented forward deployment as part of the PaciďŹ c Pathways partnership program, enhancing cooperation in the Asia-PaciďŹ c region.
Global Demands “In a complex, unsafe world with increasing global demands on American leadership,â€? the secretary said, “it’s our people, our soldiers, and their unmatched ability to seize and dominate physical and human terrain, shape the strategic environment and prevent conict.â€? Addressing the nation’s defense strategy, Carter discussed the need for a 21st century NATO playbook that includes countering new challenges like hybrid warfare and cyber, better integrating conventional and nuclear deterrence, and adjusting the U.S. posture and presence to adapt and respond to new challenges and threats. Because the Army is at the center of the strategy, he said, elements of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team were deployed to train Ukrainian security forces under Operation Atlantic Resolve, and more units from the 173rd trained alongside U.S. allies in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. For the same reason, Carter said Stryker units and brigade-sized elements were moved from the 2nd Cavalry Regiment through 1,800 kilometers of Eastern Eu-
rope alongside U.S. allies from Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. And the 3rd Infantry Division, with whom Carter recently spoke in Grafenwoehr, Germany, trained alongside 10 NATO allies and three partner nations as part of Combined Resolve, he added. Carter also discussed the situation in Europe and Russia’s aggression there. He discussed the Middle East and Russia’s behavior in Syria. And he discussed Afghanistan and how the United States and its allies are committed to continuing to support the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces.
Future Capabilities On his commitment to the future of the nation and the department, Carter said DoD needs a 21st-century personnel system to match a 21st-century military, that it must be open to a wider world of technology, and that it needs a sensible longterm budget. “To build the force of the future we have to attract, compete for, and retain the best talent from a new generation,â€? he said, adding that another way to keep an edge in the future is to continue to innovate and invest in the best technology. In recent times the military has used high-end technology against relatively low-tech capabilities, Carter said, but today other militaries and non-state actors are acquiring high-end military technologies. Nations like Russia and China are closing the technology gap, Carter said, “developing platforms to thwart our advantages of power projection and freedom of movement. They’re ďŹ elding new aircraft and ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, and anti-air missiles that are longer-range and more accurate.â€? The nation’s imperative is clear, he said. “We must innovate to stay the bestequipped and prepared so we can ensure that the skill of each soldier is wielded in the most effective and safest way possible,â€? Carter said.

MCAHC commander fosters healthy work, care environment by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Somewhere in the fluorescent lit corridors filled with scents foreshadowing the day’s lunch menu, is U.S. Army Lt. Col. Heidi Mon, McDonald Army Health Center commander. With her cheeks raised toward her gleaming eyes she visits various sections of the health center to learn from her staff and check-in with patients. On her daily center tours, Mon approaches her staff members with her right hand clenched tight and drawn back, and springs it forward to meet another’s fist. “We’re knocking out flu season,” Mon explained while moving her arm in a punching motion. “So we do fist bumps instead of handshakes here.” Although just a gesture, Mon feels replacing the handshake to stop germs in their tracks mirrors the MCAHC’s 705 member staff’s passion to provide
first class collaborative care to ensure the health and wellbeing of U.S. Service members, retirees and family members. Mon, who took command of the center May 27, aims to make it a desirable place not to only seek healthcare, but enhance the command climate and culture to enable a positive experience for the approximately 40,744 eligible beneficiaries in the region. “We want to offer world class health care to our beneficiaries while taking care of each other,” said Mon. “You can’t do one without the other.” For Mon, facilitating an upbeat environment in a place where customers primarily go to feel better is a necessity. She is taking this head on by changing aesthetics, such as artwork and wallpaper and communicating with her team and patients. She is also planning renovations of the Little Creek Fort Story Troop Medical Clinic (East) and renovating the pedi-

atrics and health management facilities, which are currently in trailers.¬ “It’s my job to continue to ensure my staff has the tools and resources they need to continue to deliver the great care they already provide to our beneficiaries,” said Mon, who feels that one of the greatest tools at her disposal are patient surveys. “It’s been a complete honor and privilege to read what our beneficiaries are writing about the care here,” said Mon. “We really take those surveys to heart. I read every single verbatim comment and as a staff we review the satisfaction results.” Mon also highlighted that for people who don’t want to speak to the command team, the patient advocated is available
to help them convey and sort through concerns. Along with patients taking advantage of having their inquiries addressed, Mon hopes they also notice the various updates to healthcare technology such as TriCare online scheduling and MiCare secure messaging, which allows patients to communicate with healthcare providers in an online dialogue in lieu of making an appointment for medical inquiries and prescription refills. “If you know you’re not feeling well at midnight and you’d really like to get an appointment, you can hop on TriCare online and make one,” said Mon. “[Secure messaging] is just another great avenue to communicate with your provider on your time.” While an advocate for the new online systems, Mon also hopes customers notice the people that work at McDonald are what Mon describes, “first class.” “They come into this building every day with a wide-open heart wanting to do the very best they can, and it’s been an extreme pleasure to see my calendar fill up with opportunities to recognize my staff,” said Mon. “Walking around, watching [the team] in action and seeing the great care provided by any member from front desk staff to someone drawing blood, filling a prescription or the precision it takes for a surgical team to perform... is so inspiring.”

Internal DoD effort focuses on individual cybersecurity responsibility By Cheryl Pellerin DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY
WASHINGTON — The Defense Department recently announced an effort to help individuals throughout the department do their part to protect the DoD Information Networks, or DoDIN. A letter to the department signed by Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, who recently retired as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, introduced the DoD Cybersecurity Culture Compliance Initiative, or DC3I, and outlined its principles and timeline. “Each of us, as network users and providers, has an individual responsibility to protect the [DoDIN],” the leaders wrote in the letter. “Nearly all past successful network penetrations,” they continued, “can be traced to one or more human errors that allowed the adversary to gain access to, and in some cases exploit, mission-critical information.” SEE CYBERSECURITY PAGE 6

CYBERSECURITY FROM PAGE 4 The DC3I document outlines how the department will improve “individual human performance and accountability in mutual support of the DoD Cyber Strategy” released in April, the letter said.
Everyone is an Operator Those who will benefit from the training include everyone who is part of the DoD cyber enterprise, including leaders, service providers, cyber warriors and general users. As Cybercom commander Navy Adm. Mike Rogers said in testimony Sept. 29 before the House Armed Services Committee, “Everyone who uses a keyboard is an operator.” The DC3I establishes five operational excellence principles that will be fundamental to the DoD cyber enterprise -- integrity, level of knowledge, procedural compliance, formality and backup, and a questioning attitude, the memo said. The principles borrow from proven initiatives in other high-risk endeavors that inculcate high levels of personnel reliability into daily operations, the letter said. “The DC3I will take a systems approach to education and training, scheduled and spot inspections, periodic and episodic reporting, and targeted investments that embrace mission-driven

cybersecurity,” Carter and Dempsey wrote. “The initiative makes clear that the department is willing to accept some inconvenience to enhance our security posture,” they added. As it leads the DC3I implementation, Cybercom will provide quarterly updates to Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work and the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. DoD Chief Information Officer Terry Halvorsen said his office is working with the support of those at the highest levels of the department to create a cyber culture and advance cyber discipline through leadership, accountability and transparency. “To better measure cyber hygiene and cyber basics, DoD CIO and Cyber Command prioritized a list of the most important cyber hygiene efforts,” Halvorsen said, adding that these must be done well everywhere in DoD to eliminate cyber vulnerabilities that can put missions at risk. The efforts include things like configuring all computers to the DoD security standard, Halvorsen said, and ensuring that every computer is defended by an operational organization and that nothing in DoD’s global infrastructure falls through operational cracks. The CIO said that other cyber hygiene efforts include “eliminating the use of passwords by all system administrators and replacing passwords with the cryptographic identity credentials issued by the DoD Public Key Infrastructure.”

WASHINGTON -- The sergeant major of the Army told a roomful of senior noncommissioned ofďŹ cers, or NCOs, today that a “monumental changeâ€? to NCO education and training is just over the horizon and it promises to be an emotional topic. Speaking at the opening day of the Association of the United States Army’s, or AUSA’s, annual meeting, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey said a new instruction is in the works and expected to be effective Jan. 1, 2016, and it will change the way Soldiers get promoted. Called STEP, for “Select, Train, Educate and Promote,â€? the Army, as it gets smaller, will be taking a harder line toward who gets promoted and who doesn’t. “You cannot and will not get promoted if you do not have the requisite level
of education commensurate to that rank and grade,â€? he said, noting that last year 14,000 active-duty NCOs and a combined 40,000 Guard and Reserve Soldiers had not gone to school commensurate with their rank. “So this is good news and bad news,â€? Dailey continued. “This is very, very, very good news for those Soldiers who are ready and able. We already know there’s going to be a contingent of people who don’t go to school, who therefore will not get promoted. Do the math. What does that mean for next year’s promotion list? More promotions.â€? Dailey said everything the Army is going to do with regard to ensuring the deserving get promoted is centered on the objectives of the Army secretary and chief of staff: ďŹ ght and win. He went on to say the sergeants major, who are working STEP, have assured him there will be enough school seats to train and educate every Soldier the

Army needs. Dailey also said that in the past, when Soldiers have been unable to get seats in training schools, it wasn’t due to a shortage of seats, but rather “inefďŹ ciencyâ€? that resulted from other students not showing up for schools. Dailey also discussed “Not in My Squad,â€? which was initiated early in the year. He said it was centered and focused on exactly what NCOs had been asking for: putting discipline and standards back into the hands of NCOs. “I told the chief and the secretary that doing PowerPoint presentations and
mandated training for the things that are hurting us most is not the way to get after it ... if you want to ďŹ x something in the Army, ask an NCO to take care of it and empower them to do so,â€? he said. Lastly, he encouraged the audience to get involved in the AUSA panel discussions and ask questions and “give me your input, because that’s what we need,â€? Dailey said. “I constantly remind my senior sergeants major we’re making decisions about the future that are going to affect the NCOs into 2025 and 2035.â€?

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. (AFNS) -- According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. Additionally, the ACS estimates that one in eight women, or 12 percent, in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. About one in 36 women, or 3 percent, will die from breast cancer. Fortunately, death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1989 as a result of earlier detection through screening, increased awareness and improved treatment. Men are also at risk from breast cancer, but at a lower rate and also need to be screened as needed. In breast cancer, abnormal breast tissue grows out of control. Symptoms may include the following: lump in the breast or underarm; a change in breast size or shape; thickening, swelling, irritation or dimpling of the skin or nipple; redness or flaking skin around the nipple; nipple discharge other than breast milk; and pain in the breast or nipple. Although these symptoms can occur with conditions other than cancer, women with persistent symptoms should seek medical care. Certain risk factors increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer. These include: older age; a personal or family history of breast cancer (mother, sister, daughter); never giving birth or giv-
ing birth later in life; never breastfeeding; starting menstrual cycles at a very young age; starting menopause later in life; taking hormone replacement therapy; being overweight; not exercising regularly; smoking; and drinking more than one alcoholic drink per day. Having risk factors does not mean you will develop breast cancer. However, it is important to discuss those risk factors with a provider. Breast cancer screening is the best method to detect breast cancer early and has been found to lower the risk of dying from breast cancer. Screening tests include mammograms, clinical breast exams by a provider and breast self-exams. Mammograms are a radiographic image of the breast, and are recommended every one to two years for women 40 years and older. A clinical breast exam is often accomplished as part of the annual well-woman exam. Women should perform breast self-exams at home monthly. To learn more on how to perform breast self-exams, visit www.cancer.org or talk to a provider.

Groberg to receive Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan By J.D. Leipold ARMY NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON -- An American Soldier who was born in France, lived in Spain, and later moved to the United States with his family where he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2001, will receive the nation’s highest military award for actions in Afghanistan. Capt. Florent A. Groberg, now medically retired, will receive the Medal of Honor from President Barack Obama, during a White House ceremony, Nov. 12, 2015. Born in Poissy, France, in 1983, Groberg’s family would eventually move to Spain, back to France, and then finally to the nation’s capital. He became a U.S. citizen by his 18th birthday and graduated from Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Maryland, in June 2001. Known as “Flo” to his friends, Groberg next attended the University of Maryland, where he competed in varsity track and cross country. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in criminology and crim-
inal justice in May 2006. By then, Groberg said, he felt he owed something to the country he’d sworn allegiance to. So in July 2008, he signed up for the Army, and was off to Officer Candidate School on Fort Benning, Georgia. By December 2008, he was commissioned as an 11A infantry officer. Being one to challenge himself, he also completed the Infantry Officer Basic and Mechanized Leaders Courses, and then followed on with Army Airborne and Ranger Schools. Groberg said he felt compelled to join the Army and wear the uniform. “The proudest thing I’ve ever done in my life is to be able to wear this uniform and serve this country with some of the greatest people I’ve ever met and will always know,” he said. With schools behind him, he next took on his first role as a platoon leader with the 4th Infantry Division on Fort Carson, Colorado. By December 2009, he was leading his unit with Task Force Lethal

through the Pech River Valley in Afghanistan’s Kunar province. Having been trained at several of the Army’s elite leadership schools doesn’t by default make a second lieutenant a respected leader in a kinetic area like Kunar province, Groberg remembered. “I didn’t know anything about being a platoon leader or being a leader of men who had already been in combat for months,” Groberg said. “So when I was tasked with being a platoon leader, I found out it was going to be a different transition for me to earn respect from men who were already battle-hardened Soldiers.” Groberg said he had a meeting with his platoon sergeant, Sgt. 1st Class Korey Staley, to discuss the situation. “I told him I’m as green as it gets and I’m not over here trying to make mistakes - you have to be my mentor and teach and work with me. He was happy that I had come into the unit with that type of mindset, so for the first week I just overwatched everything the unit did - how we reacted in combat situations,” Groberg recalled. After a week or so that included being hit by the enemy a few times, he and

Staley sat down to talk about the company commander’s vision, the battalion commander’s vision, and how the squad leaders could help put together an overall plan. “We were in many, many firefights together. Because of the leadership and trust we developed, I understood that no officer will ever be successful without the direct support and mentorship of a noncommissioned officer [NCO],” Groberg said. “Because of that, we were able to bring everyone home from the deployment.” Upon returning home in June 2010, Groberg continued serving as a platoon leader until he was promoted to first lieutenant and reassigned as an infantry company executive officer. He held that position from October 2010 until November 2011. He next became the personal security detachment commander for the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. In February 2012, he returned to Kunar province with Task Force Mountain Warrior. In July 2012, he was promoted to captain. SEE GROBERG PAGE 15

GROBERG FROM PAGE 13
ANYTHING BUT ROUTINE On the morning of Aug. 8, 2012, Groberg and five other Soldiers were providing a personal security detail for seven senior leaders, and were leading a dismounted movement of 28 coalition and Afghan National Army, or ANA, troops to the provincial governor’s compound in the city of Asadabad. “The mission that day was one that we had done on a week-to-week basis for five or six months. Maybe 20 times we’ve done that same exact mission, so we knew what to expect of the area,” recalled Groberg’s radio telephone operator, Sgt. Andrew J. Mahoney. “Basically, the governor of the province brings all the village elders from around the area and coalition military leaders together to discuss on-going projects.” Mahoney noted that the captain would go inside, sit as security and act as scribe so the colonel wouldn’t have to take notes. The rest of the detail would pull security around the building’s perimeter with ANA support. That would be the routine. But that day would be anything but routine. Groberg was in the lead at the top of the security diamond, escorting three brigade commanders, three battalion commanders, and an Afghan general. As the detail moved cautiously down the street toward the governor’s compound, an ambush started to unfold - first with two motorcycles as a diversion, which the ANA soldiers managed to flag down. “A man came out of a building to our left walking backwards,” Groberg said. “It was eerie and looked suspicious. I yelled at him and he turned around immediately and then started walking towards us. He looked like a young man with a beard, wearing man-jams and dark clothing. He didn’t appear to be himself that day ... most likely drugged. “Sgt. Mahoney to my left moved in with me and struck him, then Mahoney and I threw him. I pushed him as hard as I could away from our patrol, because I felt he was a threat. I just wanted to make sure he wouldn’t hurt anyone,” said Groberg, adding that he had noticed an abnormal bulge under the man’s clothing. As Groberg grabbed the intruder by the vest and Mahoney piled on to drive the man into the road, Groberg knew what was about to happen. From the point of identifying the security breach to reacting took about 10 seconds.

The man landed chest-first on the ground. As he slammed onto the road, he released a dead-man’s trigger, which he had squeezed and held before walking towards the Soldiers. The vest flashed, sending thousands of lethal ball-bearings flying. Nearly at the same moment, a second suicide bomber set off his own bomb. When the dust settled, five of those who were on the mission that day had been killed. Among them were Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Griffin, the brigade’s senior enlisted advisor; Maj. Thomas Kennedy; Maj. Walter Gray, an Air Force officer who helped coordinate air strikes; and Ragaei Abdel Fattah, a volunteer worker with the U.S. Agency for International Development, Groberg said. The first explosion threw Groberg and Mahoney some 15 feet from the blast. While they had serious injuries, they were both alive - something Mahoney said he has been hard-pressed to explain. “If I were a religious man, I’d say by the grace of God,” Mahoney said. “But since I’m not, I say by the grace of body armor. I really don’t know. I tell Soldiers to believe in your body armor.” After the detonation of the explosive, Groberg struggled to regain control of the situation. “I remember waking up in shock. My helmet was loose so I threw it away. I couldn’t find my rifle, but picked up my pistol and made sure I had a round in the chamber,” Groberg said. “I couldn’t remember what happened. I thought I had stepped on an IED [improvised explosive device]. My fibia was sticking out of my left leg, my skin was melting, and there was blood everywhere. I checked myself for internal injuries and started to drag myself out of what was probably a kill zone for small-arms fire.” Help came from his platoon sergeant, who grabbed the captain by the handle of his plate carrier and dragged him into a ditch. There, the group’s medic, Spc. Daniel Balderrama, applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. Balderrama was himself injured. “We’re going to save that leg ... you’ll be fine,” said Groberg, recalling what the medic had told him, before he hobbled off to help the next wounded Soldier. Groberg said he remembers being carried to an armored truck, and that he wasn’t going willingly. He said he remembers that he had a lot of unanswered questions then. How’s his charge, brigade commander Col. Charles Mingus, for instance? He learned the commander had a slight concussion, but otherwise, “the boss” was fine. Still, he wanted a status report and wanted to be the leader his NCOs had made him.
Finally, his Soldiers moved Groberg to the truck and loaded him in. He said he was still trying to direct operations and control all that he could - he felt it his responsibility. Then, a senior NCO stared him in the eyes and said, “Sir, I’ve got this - you’re done - now it’s time for you to recover,” said Groberg, recounting the words of the NCO. “Then he stepped back and closed the door.” “That’s when all the pain came in. It felt like a blow torch was burning through my leg,” Groberg said. “Aug. 8, 2012, was not a bad day; it was the worst day of my life.” Since that day a little more than three years ago, Groberg has been through 33 surgeries to keep his leg. He wants to run again, just as he did in college, though he knows he won’t ever run with the same quickness. He still has two legs and continues to push himself through the pain that exists both physically and from the loss of comrades. “Receiving the Medal of Honor is not about me,” he said of the honor. “It’s about a terrible day that translated into the loss of four brothers.” Today, Groberg and Mahoney still keep in touch and remain friends. Mahoney’s actions on that day in August 2012, earned him the Silver Star. The sergeant was also recognized as the USO Soldier of the Year during an October 2014 cere-
“Receiving the Medal of Honor is not about me. It’s about a terrible day that translated into the loss of four brothers.” — Capt. Florent A. Groberg United States Army
mony in Washington, D.C. Groberg made it a point to attend that ceremony once Mahoney told him about it. “I sent a short text to him and he replied simply that he’d be there for the ceremony and the next thing I knew he showed up,” Mahoney said. “He came out of the woodwork and there he was standing tall and proud to be there for me and my family...I hope I can do that for him.”

Red Cross needs blood donations Blood and platelet donations decline during the summer months, especially around holidays like Independence Day. Holiday travel causes many donors to be less available to give and many hosting organizations postpone blood drives while people are on vacation. In fact, more than 40 percent of blood and platelet donors indicated plans to travel this Independence Day holiday and these factors often contribute to seasonal blood shortages. To donate blood or for more information, call 1-800-733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org.
