633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Stress happens. It can be inevitable for some and intolerable for others. April is National Stress Awareness Month and Joint Base Langley-Eustis behavioral health organizations are helping U.S. Air Force Airmen, U.S. Army Soldiers and their families cope effetively. Service members, dependents and retirees in the JBLE community have several options for seeking assistance, including the McDonald Army Health Center Behavioral Health Clinic at Fort Eustis, the 633rd Medical Group Behavioral Health Optimization Program, Mental Health Clinic and Family Advocacy Program, and Military OneSource services. “[Service members] coming to the MHC appear to have a lot of the same stressors we see with people everywhere,” said Aillen Ford, 633rd Medical Operations Squadron Family Advocacy outreach manager. “They have relationship, work, school issues [and] stress around [deployments].” The BHOP is the first stop for those looking for treatment for behavioral health concerns. According to U.S. Public Health Service Cmdr. Bryan Davidson, 633rd Air Base Wing director of Psychological Health, the program offers friend-

ly walk-in services to individuals in need of tools to manage issues including sleep disturbance, mild anxiety or depression, migraines and relationship problems. Also, a social worker, psychologist and nurse are embedded within the family health clinic to assist with the program. Patients like BHOP because of its convenience, he continued. They can often be seen at the same time they’re seen by their primary care manager. Although individuals may think of stress as undesirable or damaging, Ford said it’s possible for those same stressors to be constructive and help with career progression. “Negative stressors can also be positive and motivating,” Ford said. “We are motivated to study to pass a class to get a degree, and we want that degree to receive a particular job or promotion. How we look at the stressors in our lives affects how we feel about those stressors. Essentially, our thoughts affect our mood. “If we look at things as challenges rather than roadblocks we are more apt to be creative and find solutions rather than quit, get angry or become depressed,” she said. Dr. Robert Marietta, 633rd MDOS staff psychiatrist, and Lt. Col. Sheila Beville, 633rd MDOS flight commander, offered the following methods to help deal with stress:

1. Talk to someone about worrisome feelings, whether that person is family, a friend, chaplain, coworker or in a Service member’s chain of command. 2. Get healthy. Taking care of overall personal health through diet, exercise or going to the doctor for a checkup will help reduce stress. 3. Laugh. Watch a funny show or tell a joke – do whatever it takes to smile. 4. Have a positive outlook. No matter the challenge at hand, try to put a positive spin on it and let that be the focal point. 5. Help someone else who may be dealing with their own stressors. Placing focus on others also helps during the healing process. In addition to the services provided by the JBLE Behavioral Health clinics, the Langley Health and Wellness Center will host stress management classes from 11 a.m. to noon the first Tuesday of each month. Class participants will learn how to recognize stressors, identify how stress is affecting them, learn coping and relaxation techniques and change their train of thought. For more information, contact Ford at 764-2427. For a comprehensive list of resources and services to assist with stress management, visit www. jble.af.mil/resiliencynetwork/index. asp.

Heritage Spotlight The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, was an air raid by the United States military on the Japanese capital,Tokyo, and other locations on Honshu, April 18, 1942. The raid was the first to strike the Japanese Home Islands, and demonstrated Japan was vulnerable to American air attacks. It was also considered a retaliation for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.The Doolittle Raid provided an important boost to U.S. morale and damaged Japanese morale. The raid was planned and led by U.S. Army Air Forces Lt. Col. James “Jimmy” Doolittle. Sixteen USAF B-25B Mitchell medium bombers were launched without fighter escort from the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier, USS Hornet, deep in

The Doolittle Raid the Western Pacific Ocean, each with a crew of five men. As landing a medium bomber on Hornet was impossible, the plan called for them to bomb military targets in Japan, and to continue westward to land in China. Fifteen of the aircraft reached China and the other one landed in the Soviet Union. All but three of the crew survived, but all the aircraft were lost. Eight crewmen were captured by the Japanese Army in China, three of whom were executed.The B-25 that landed in the Soviet Union at Vladivostok was confiscated and its crew interned for more than a year. Fourteen crews, except for one crewman, returned either to the United States or to American forces. The raid caused negligible material damage to

Japan, only hitting non-military targets or missing completely, but it succeeded in its goal of raising American morale and casting doubt in Japan on the ability of its military leaders to defend their home islands. It also caused Japan to withdraw its powerful aircraft carrier force from the Indian Ocean to defend their country, and the raid contributed to Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto’s decision to attack Midway Island in the Central Pacific – an attack that turned into a decisive strategic defeat of the Imperial Japanese Navy by the U.S. Navy. Doolittle, who initially believed loss of his aircraft would lead to his court-martial, received the Medal of Honor and was promoted two steps to brigadier general.

128th Avn. Bde. announces AIT Platoon Sergeant of the Year By Senior Airman Teresa J.C. Aber 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Rachel Underwood, 1st Battalion, 222nd Aviation Regiment instructor, was named the 128th Avn. Brigade’s Advanced Individual Training Platoon Sergeant of the Year during a ceremony at Fort Eustis, April 3. Platoon sergeants from across the brigade competed in February for the title. The competition tested Soldiers in a variety of military skills and disciplines including physical fitness, land navigation and weapons qualifications. “The competition was tough, but it’s a motivator because you compete against the best of the best within the brigade,” said Underwood. “I had to keep a ‘go, go, go’ mindset to stay motivated and push myself.” Col. Julius Rigole, 128th Avn. Bde. com-

mander, emphasized the importance of the role platoon sergeants play in teaching AIT Soldiers. “I hope the platoon sergeants realize not only the importance of their role as instructors and educators,” said Rigole, “[But also] the magnificence of making a difference in the lives of Soldiers [they] teach every day.” Underwood said she holds high expectations for herself and her fellow platoon sergeants. “I learned a lot about myself and my abilities as a leader during the competition,” said Underwood. “I know the other platoon sergeants and I will maintain the highest standards so we can train the best AIT Soldiers in the Army.” Underwood will move on to compete in the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command AIT PSOY competition later this year.

Imagine an organization designed to ease the stress of permanent changes of station for U.S. Service members and their families, provide them with financial education, dating advice, support them as new parents, console them during mourning or even help them receive accommodations for a disabled family member. Each branch has a different variation, but they will work with any Service member. At Langley Air Force Base, it’s the Airman and Family Readiness Center and at Fort Eustis, it’s the Soldier and Family Readiness Center. “We’re a one-stop shop; the total package,” said Ursula Santiago, Langley AFB AFRC Exceptional Family Member Program representative. “We’re here to get Service members and their families acclimated to their new surroundings or handle life-changing events from the cradle to the grave. We’re here to help in any aspect of their lives and we don’t stop. We’ll continue to do what we can for families even after they’re out of the military. As long as they have a Department of Defense Card

or a Common Access Card, we can help them. We won’t let them alone until we’ve helped them as best we can.” Santiago explained that if someone makes an appointment, but ends up incapable of getting to it on time, the Center has an immediate solution. “A new thing the Airman and Family Readiness Center does is virtual appointments and classes,” said Santiago. “We use Skype and FaceTime in case someone cannot leave home for the appointment. It’s also great for deployed Service members who need to make or attend an appointment while overseas.” The Airman and Family Readiness Center aims to ease the stress of separation that comes with deployment and keep military family members part the Joint-Base Langley Eustis community as much as possible. “We also have Hearts Apartevents to help deployed Service members’ families cope with the deployment of their loved ones,”

said Santiago. “Hearts Apart are monthly events including movie nights, dining facility dinners, pool parties and holiday celebrations. They help families continue to feel part of the JBLE community.” With PCS season coming up, Santiago said the Center will help make transitions to other bases as easy as possible for Airmen and their families. “Military OneSource has everything about relocating, but people tend to like that face-to-face communication when it comes to difficult situations and lifechanging transitions,” said Santiago. “We’re here to help them get in direct contact with someone over at their next Airman and Family Readiness Center.” Santiago explained that the bottom line is mission efficiency. “If the active duty member knows that his family is going to be taken care of on station – that they have somebody to guide and navigate them through the cir-

cumstances and know that we are supporting them – they can go and take care of the mission without even a second thought about whether or not their family is being taken care of,” said Santiago. “Without a shadow of a doubt, they know they’re going to get the services they need and they can fulfill their mission, because they don’t have to take off to run around trying to navigate themselves. They’ve got someone doing that for them. They’re not taking time off and they’re not frustrated, so their mind is on the mission and that means more time will be spent with their wingmen focused on the task at hand. When they’re taken care of, the mission is taken care of. That is what our programs do; support the mission.” According to Santiago, the Center makes Service members more capable of doing their job as effectively and efficiently as possible, because the Center facilitates solutions in Service member’s lives so they can do the mission better. “The thing I like to say about our Airman and Family Readiness Center is we’re a powerhouse,” said Santiago, “There is nothing we can’t, or at least won’t try to do to help our Service members.”

The Army is conducting a complete reassessment of its noncommissioned officer education system for the first time since 1976, said the general who just took the helm of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. U.S. Army Gen. David G. Perkins, who assumed command of TRADOC March 14, spoke at the Army’s Brain Health Consortium April 10 at the Defense Health Headquarters in Falls Church, Va. The ultimate weapon of the U.S. Army in the future must be the brains of its Soldiers, Perkins said. “We’re banking on our cognitive capability,” Perkins said, describing that as the Army’s “ace in the hole” against potential enemies. “We think kinetically, they can probably buy the same weapons we have,” he said, at least in small numbers. He added there are also armies out there larger than the U.S. Army. In the past, the U.S. Army has relied upon superior technology, he said, but that “technology gap” is closing fast. Being able to adapt quickly will be the key in the future, he said. One reason is the uncertainty of today’s operational environment. The Army found out early in Iraq and Afghanistan that it could not adapt quickly enough, Perkins said. He was commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division during the “Thunder Run” of armored columns into Baghdad, in 2003. Later he returned to Iraq as commander of the 4th Infantry Division conducting stabilization operations. “What we’re also finding with this very distributed nature of war is that we have to have a level of adaptation down to the individual Soldier,” Perkins said. “You just can’t have adaptive generals.” The good news is that young NCOs who have been in Iraq and Afghanistan understand that intuitively, he said. They want to know why the NCO education system

Perkins, commander of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, the ultimate weapon of the U.S. Army in the future must be the brains of its Soldiers. “We’re banking on our cognitive capability,” Perkins said, describing that as the Army’s “ace in the hole” against potential enemies. hasn’t changed to accommodate it. So the TRADOC command sergeant major is re-assessing NCO education system from “soup to nuts,” Perkins said. TRADOC has been spending tremendous resources on modeling and war games to try and determine what the future will look like in “2025 and beyond,” Perkins said. He tells audiences he knows exactly what the future will be: “unknown.” Historically, when experts think they know exactly what the future will look like, it changes dramatically. In the Cold War, the Army was ready for Soviet armored columns to roll across the central plains of Europe. That never happened, Perkins said. When he was a lieutenant, though, everyone was certain what the enemy would look like, how they would fight and what equipment they would use. He said commanders calculated tactics and responses “down to the minute.” “We saw war as a calculus problem,” Perkins said. This is the first time the Army is writing

doctrine to deal with the unknown, he said. Now, it’s important for a commander to first define the problem and then determine what key decisions need to be made, he said. Judgment is seen as the most important attribute of a leader. Adaptability needs to be part of the Army’s culture, Perkins said. “We don’t know how to build this cognitive capability to deal with this very illdefined world,” Perkins said, explaining that in the past the Army has dealt with “a very linear world.” The question now, he said, is: “How do we make our Soldiers adapt quicker than our enemy?”

He asked the medical experts, behavioral health practitioners and neurologists in the room: “How much data should a Soldier be able to take in?” Cognitive capacity needs to be assessed, he said. TRADOC is now involved in an assessment to determine physical demands for combat tasks. Soldiers at Fort Stewart, Ga., are involved in the study. Perkins said it is looking at measurable physical demands for infantrymen and artillery crews, for instance. Such measurements might include the average weight of a rucksack, or the average distance an infantryman might need to walk. A more difficult measurement, Perkins said, is determining the “mental load” a “What we’re also finding with this very distributed nature of war is that Soldier can bear. “How long can they go without sleep? we have to have a level of adaptation down to the individual Soldier.

The Periodic Health Assessment is a vital part of individual medical readiness keeping Service members qualified to continue to serve worldwide in support of the U.S. military mission. PHAs provide Airmen with preventive health services to maximize their wellbeing and ensure their mobility readiness, said Thomas Lane, 633rd Aerospace Medical Squadron force health management director. “The PHA program has two parts,” said Lane. “It recommends evidence-based, costeffective preventative health service and identifies and documents potential duty-limiting conditions.” Within five duty-days of completing the Web Health Assessment, Airmen will receive an e-mail notifying them of the date and time of their face-to-face appointment or be contacted to schedule an appointment by phone. Technicians will attempt to identify risk factors during the appointment that will limit an Airman’s ability to fulfill duty obligations. If no issues are discussed, PHA technicians will schedule an appointment with the member’s Primary Care Manager, and direct members to complete any needed ancillary services, such as labs and immunizations. For reporting purposes, the PHA is considered complete when the following are accomplished: ■ Web based health assessment results addressed ■ Medical record review ■ Face-to-face provider visit ■ Clinical preventive services recommended ■ Education and counseling services scheduled and referrals initiated ■ Required medical record documentation accomplished ■ Duty-limiting condition determinations ■ PCM reviewed and signed certified PHA ■ For personnel on flying status, Air Force Form 1042 To assist Airmen, squadron commanders appoint unit health monitors responsible for notifying Airmen as they become due for any IMR requirement. Airmen can check their medical readiness status on the MyIMR site, located at https://imr.afms.mil/imr/MyIMR.aspx or through the Air Force portal. For more information or to make an appointment, contact the PHA cell at 764-6731.

“The purpose of MEATS is to provide the Navy with the capability to move their maritime assets over a longer range. Our helicopters move the Navy closer to a point of insertion or we provide extraction for the team.” — Army 1st Lt. Kyle Selig 5-159th GSAB, B Company executive officer

Soldiers, Sailors partner for MEATS mission 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

A CH-47 Chinook helicopter hovered above the James River, kicking up sprays of brackish water as it elevated a 19,500-pound watercraft out of the river. As the boat rose, a ladder dropped down and a U.S. Navy special warfare combatant-craft crewman began a tenuous ascent into the helicopter, while wind from the Chinook’s tandem rotor blades buffeted him from side to side. From April 7 to 11, the U.S. Army Reserve’s 5-159th General Support Aviation Battalion (GSAB) at Fort Eustis accomplished this extraordinary feat 48 times, in direct support of Navy Special Boat Team 20 for the Maritime External Air Transport System exercise. Known as MEATS, the exercise increases the effective range of Navy special boat teams by using aviation units to carry special warfare teams and their watercraft from one point to another. “The purpose of MEATS is to provide the Navy with the capability to move their maritime assets over a longer range,” said Army 1st Lt. Kyle Selig, 5-159th GSAB, B Company executive officer. “Our helicopters move the Navy closer to a point of insertion or we provide extraction for the team.” The entire operation is a delicate process that required the 5-159th GSAB pilots to be at the top of their game in crew coordina-

tion, communication and navigation. “It’s one of the mosst difficult missions to work with,” Selig said d. “But it’s extremely valuable training for th he Army pilots. If I can hook up a boat while iit is moving in the water, it’s that much easieer to pick up a stationary artillery piece. Alll of the things that we do during this mission n help keep our pilots and flight engineers p proficient and trained to handle the rest of th heir daily missions.” The 5-159th GSAB conducted c 12 training flights under both day y and nighttime conditions. During each flig ght, the two Chinook pilots and three non n-rated crewmembers executed two profile ru uns and four live runs to attach a Navy rigid--hull inflatable boat to the hovering CH-47. “The flight engineeer in the back looks through the floor hatcch and directs the pilot to lower the Chin nook in increments of one or two feet until the t helicopter is close enough to the boat forr the boat crew to hook up the front and aft sllings,” Selig said. “As a pilot, you are focused d very precisely on air speed and altitude.” Once the slings werre connected, the Chinook pulled the RHIB B 10 to 15 feet out of the water. Crewmemb bers in the back of the helicopter dropped a ladder to the boat, allowing special warrfare combatant-craft crewmen to climb ab board. In a real-world situation, after the crewmen are safely inside, the Chinook creew would fly to their destination, carrying both special warfare

crewmen and watercraft. For the exercise, a crewman ascended the ladder, notified the waiting helicopter crewmember and climbed back down into the boat. Though the 5-159th GSAB does not conduct MEATS operationally, the support they provided during this exercise was vital to meeting Navy training requirements, said Army Capt. Hector Rodriguez, 5-159th GSAB, B Company commander. “Special operations aviation units are oversaturated with tasks that don’t allow them to practice as much as the boat teams need,” said Rodriguez. “That’s where the 5-159th comes in to help. The Navy needs the training and we’re in the area.” In addition to training Sailors, the MEATS mission is also valuable to the 5-159th GSAB pilots, who tested their skills to the utmost during the week. “We view MEATS as a culminating event for our pilots,” Rodriguez said. “It’s a challenging training mission for the crew and we take pride in the fact that we’re one of the few aviation units to do this mission.” Due to Fort Eustis’ location, the 5-159th GSAB is uniquely poised to support all branches of the military. “We’re the joint unit,” Rodriguez said. “We want to be the unit that works with the Army divers, the Navy Special Boat teams and the U.S. Air Force flight doctors. It’s pretty hard to find another aviation unit who works with so many joint units on a daily basis.”

The 733rd Civil Engineer Division earned the Silver Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award for Conservation at the annual Environment Virginia Symposium April 10. This is the fifth consecutive year in which the 733rd CED environmental team won an award, and the award maintains their status as an Exemplary Environmental Enterprise for the fourth year in a row. “We hope to be a leading example in the field of conservation for all organizations across Virginia,” said Arba Williamson, 733rd CED pollution prevention specialist. “We won gold last year for sustainability, so we know we have to maintain a high standard.” The conservation award acknowledges the efforts of the 733rd CED concerning both natural and cultural resources. They protected more than 230 historical and cultural sites, controlled invasive species like Nutria, maintained the biodiversity on the installation, protected the Bald Eagle and upheld the strict requirements for training areas on Fort Eustis.

“We hope to be a leading example in the field of conservation for all organizations across Virginia. We won gold last year for sustainability, so we know we have to maintain a high standard.” — Arba Williamson 733rd CED pollution prevention specialist In addition to recognizing environmental personnel as key performers in environmental preservation, the award also gives the 733rd CED an opportunity to share their successes with other organizations since their accomplishments have made them a well-known office among the environmental community, said Williamson. “Interacting with other protection entities allows us to spread the message of the [U.S.] Army across the state,” said Williamson. “Continuously enhancing our efforts to protect and preserve the unique environment of Fort Eustis further improves [Joint Base Langley-Eustis’] already-stellar commitment to the community.”

Dr.Anthony Santaro, Christopher Newport University history professor, speaks during a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony at Fort Eustis,April 15. Santaro said the holocaust showed the effect of human brutality en masse, with more than 55 million people killed during the holocaust, more than at any other time in history.

Days of Remembrance: Eustis hosts Holocaust memorial By Senior Airman Austin Harvill 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 128th Aviation Brigade held a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony at Fort Eustis, April 15, to bring awareness to the Holocaust National Days of Remembrance from April 27 to May 4. Audience members listened to a guest speaker, sang a song and lit candles to remember the different groups across the world affected by the Holocaust. Two days after the tragic events outside a Jewish community center near Kansas City, the message against hate and violence could not be clearer, said Dr. Anthony Santaro, Christopher Newport University history professor and guest speaker of the event. “During the tragedy on Sunday, many non-Jewish people were killed or injured,” said Santaro. “This teaches us a somber and powerful lesson – when hatred prevails, we are all in the cross hairs.” Santaro said the holocaust showed this effect of human brutality en masse, with more than 55 million people killed during the holocaust, more than at any other time in history. Approximately a third of the Jewish population died, and many other races, ethnicities and religious practitioners lost their lives to meet the twisted goals of a political movement.

“Savagery is not a look, it is an action. We have to understand this devastating time in history was created by people with wives and children at home. They were no different than us, except they murdered people every day.” — Dr. Anthony Santaro Christopher Newport University history professor “Savagery is not a look, it is an action,” said Santaro. “We have to understand this devastating time in history was created by people with wives and children at home. They were no different than us, except they murdered people every day.” Santaro said our remembrance should be somber, but our resolve needs to be strong. “We will forever mourn the loss of lives at the hands of cruel men, but [the days of remembrance] don’t end there,” said Santaro. “It is up to you and me, the warriors, doctors, assistants and everyone else to stand vigilant against hate and violence so that we may rise above the actions of the past and create a better, brighter world for our future.”

U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command took a historic step toward eliminating sexual assault and sexual harassment not only in the Army, but in the local community when the command held its ďŹ rst partnership discussion with academia at the Fort Eustis Club at Fort Eustis, April 3. “The key today is a dynamic exchange of information with respect to a common problem – a horriďŹ c problem – of sexual assault and sexual misconduct,â€? said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Mark MacCarley, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, deputy chief of staff. MacCarley explained that the discussion was not only historic, but incredibly valuable based on the list of attendees who committed their time and effort to the endeavor. Led by the Army Education Advisory Committee, the event included a list of more than 100 professionals -military and civilian -- ranging from Army leaders, professors of military science, sexual assault response coordinators and victims advocates to community leaders and educators representing various colleges and universities throughout the region. “What we were trying to do was get together colleges and universities with the Army because the demographics of the populations that the Army serves – especially in initial training – and the populations that the universities serve are so similar,â€? said Michael Wartell, Army Education Advisory Committee chair and event facilitator.

Ellen Helmerson, U.S. ArmyTraining and Doctrine Command G-1/4 deputy chief of staff, discusses an app that’s part of the command’s sexual harassment/assault response prevention efforts, during the Army Education Advisory Committee roundtable discussion session at the Fort Eustis Club at Fort Eustis, April 3.

Wartell added that both communities not only have a population of 18-22year olds, but also have a similar structure – universities and colleges have an organization of professors, clerical staff and custodians, while the Army has a hierarchal chain of command. Throughout the day, colleges and universities received brieďŹ ngs from Christine Altendorf, Army SHARP director, William Foote, University of New Mexico adjunct professor as well as an overview of TRADOC’s sexual harassment and assault response and prevention program, provided by Maj. Gen. Ross Ridge, U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training deputy commanding general, and Ellen Helmerson, TRADOC’s G-1/4 deputy chief of staff. “It went incredibly well for the ďŹ rst

time, and it was also really effective in that the Army talked about programs, approaches, attitudes and values – and the universities did exactly the same thing,� Wartell said. “And I think the universities were encouraged by the Army’s openness.� The openness continued in the roundtable discussions that followed, where colleges and universities not only shared experiences and best practices with theArmy, but also exchanged information with one another, resulting in yet another positive outcome. “When dealing with complex organizations, getting them together to talk about mutual problems – I think – can never be counterproductive,� Wartell said. “It was instructive and enlightening for all involved.�
