Since 1971, Aug. 26 has been recognized as Women’s Equality Day, marking the day the 19th Amendment was passed, giving women the right to vote. Today, women continue to make strides toward equality, and women in the military continue to serve their country with honor. Throughout American history women have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, sometimes openly as nurses, sometimes secretly, donning the uniform of a man and taking his place in the lines. Regardless, women have been fighting for the right to fight along side their countrymen for more than a hundred years. During World War II, women had a major impact on the success of the American war effort, from taking factory jobs to ferrying planes from the factory to bases, freeing up men to join the fight on the front lines. More than 150,000 women served in organizations such as the Women’s Army Corps, the Women in the Air Force and the Women Airforce Service Pilots, and paved the way for women serving in the military. In 1948, a major stride was made in the fight for women’s equality in the armed forces with the passing of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act. This act opened up military service to women outside of the nursing corps or during times of war, and marked the first step to allowing women to honorably serve their country in peacetime as well as expanding their roll in military life. The newly-created Air Force played a vital role in welcoming women into military service with many non-pilot women filling the higher ranks of leadership, like the first director of the WAF, Col. Geraldine Pratt May, who was also the first female to hold the rank of colonel in Air Force. Although there was public opinion against women serving in the military, influential military leaders such as Gen. Douglas MacArthur said WAC’s were “some of the best in the military,” and described them as “dedicated, motivated and disciplined.” In 1967 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Public Law 90-130, lifting grade restrictions and strength limitations on women in the military. Women began attending service academies in 1976, and the WAF was officially disbanded the same year. In an effort

The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps was created on May 15, 1942, to help strengthen the men fighting during WWII. It was the first officially- recognized, women-only military unit.The efforts of those early women led to the almost complete integration of women in the military seen today.

to further integrate women into the Army, the WAC was disbanded in 1978 and women were integrated into the regular Army. In 1994, women once again gained ground in the quest for equality, when a bill proposed by Secretary of Defense Leslie Aspin passed, allowing women to work in near-combat professions. This meant that women qualified for 80 percent of the jobs across the services. On the subject of equal opportunities in combat, the final stepping stone was reached in 2013, when Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta proposed changes which opened up all specialties to women. Although the change was made, it won’t take full effect until January 2016. Every service must open jobs to women unless higher leadership can unbiasedly explain why a woman should not be allowed into any position, according to the Department of Defense. Since removing this ban, only seven Air Force Specialty Codes and 14 Army Military Occupational Specialities are closed to women. Both services are currently evaluating the physical aspects of the closed jobs, and determining how to best integrate training in a way that improves performance for everyone.

Eustis 93rd Signal Brigade welcomes new commander By Airman 1st Class Kimberly Nagle 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Its ďŹ ve o’clock in the morning and the sun has not yet broken the horizon. The only sound that can be heard at Fort Eustis’ 3rd Port is the U.S. Army Vessel Hobkirk being loaded with Joint Task Force Civil Support vehicles. The partnership between JTF-CS and the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) was substantiated during the annual Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore exercise, Aug. 14. The exercise involved loading and unloading ships without the beneďŹ t of a ďŹ xed port facility, and evaluated how equipment and supplies are moved ashore when port facilities are non-existent, damaged or too primitive for ships to off-load their cargo at a pier.

Once the vehicles were ready, the 174-foot-vessel commenced the four-and-a-half-hourjourney to Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia. After completing transit along the

James River where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, the USAV Hobkirk arrived at the 80-foot-long Trident Pier at Fort Story. The causeway modular sections of this type of pier can be used so a ship or vessel can load or ofoad equipment or person-

nel if a permanent pier had been damaged from a man-made or natural disaster. This is extremely important to a unit like JTFCS, who may be called to respond after natural, chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear disaster. Once the vessel was tied securely to the pier, JTF-CS members safely drove their vehicles from the vessel’s ramp and down the portable pier. “Participating in this exercise validates our ability to deploy to an incident response by sea,� said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Brian Knowles, JTF-CS operations division chief. “During a disaster, the roads could be blocked or damaged and traveling by sea might be the best way. We showed that we can do that.� Additional information about JTF-CS and Defense CBRN Response Force capabilities can be found at www.jtfcs.northcom.mil/JTFCS.aspx.

As a result of a generous donation made by the 1st Fighter Wing Association, 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron personnel are able to execute critical deployment training at home station, while adding a piece of 1st FW heritage to Langley Air Force Base. Plans to showcase a retired F-15 Eagle once flown at Langley are in the final stages, and the project is scheduled to begin in late August with completion and dedication scheduled for early November. The placement of the Eagle, adjacent to the West Gate entrance, will remind Langley Airmen and visitors of the 1st FW's proud legacy and stellar combat record. The 1st FW Association began pursuit of an Eagle static display several months ago, and secured nearly $50,000 in donations to fund all the materials required for the project. The 633rd CES craftsman will place the concrete foundation, wire the display lighting and fabricate the steel aircraft anchors.

Plans to showcase a retired F-15 Eagle once flown at Langley are in the final stages, and the project is scheduled to begin in late August with completion and dedication scheduled for early November. This type of work, while not typical for home station operations, is frequently required in contingency environments. The project planning, design and execution will be accomplished by a multi-craft team of engineers. Diverse career fields such as engineering assistants, equipment operators, carpenters, welders and electricians will work together as they would in a deployed location. Civil engineer squadron personnel are required by Air Force Instruction to complete at least one multi-craft project each year to maintain construction proficiency. The static display project not only fulfills this training requirement, but it does so at no cost to the government. Executing required training using

Base patrons should expect construction to begin near the intersection of Sweeney Boulevard and Lee Road in early September and last until November.

donated funds allows for wing budget to finance other critical mission requirements. Airmen from the 1st FW also play a vital role in the execution of the project. Members of the 1st Maintenance Group crash recovery team will hone their skills by placing the F-15 onto the new display pad. In addition,

members of the 1st FW are working in close coordination with the engineers to plan the final details of the display layout and material finishes. Truly, this is a Joint Base Langley-Eustis team effort to celebrate Langley's heritage while accomplishing critical training requirements.

Pulse on AF force management for Aug. 15 Air Force News Service Featured in this force management update are details regarding changes to the reduction in force board eligibility, enlisted retention and force shaping board results and the ongoing civilian force management programs. Reduction in force board Based on voluntary losses, the Air Force no longer needs to include Air Force Medical Service officers in this year’s reduction in force board scheduled to convene at the Air Force Personnel Center in early October. Status of force management boards Air Force commanders notified Airmen who met the service’s enlisted retention boards of the results recently. The board retained 5,700 of the 7,121 Airmen

reviewed in the ranks of senior airman through senior master sergeant. These numbers represent significant reductions from the matrices originally published, which showed nearly 100,000 eligible Airmen with involuntary targets of more than 20,000. The June boards reviewed enlisted members records, consisting of enlisted performance reports, decorations and a retention recommendation form to select individuals for continued retention and considered those Airmen in over-manned Air Force specialties. Senior NCOs not selected for retention will retire by Dec. 1. Senior airmen and NCOs not selected for retention will either separate by Jan. 31, 2015, or retire through temporary early retirement authority by Feb. 1, 2015.

The Air Force Personnel Center recently concluded the survey period for VERA/ VSIP Round IV, in which 34 installations participated with 23,878 employees surveyed. Round IV was largely focused on Headquarters Air Force-assigned civilian employees, primarily located in the national capital region, and some major command locations targeting a total of 781 surplus positions. Applications are being reviewed and employees approved for VERA/VSIP Round IV are scheduled to be notified this week. The remaining MAJCOMs will participate in a subsequent round. Approved civilians must separate no later than Sep. 30.

Continued service in the Guard and Reserve opportunities remain available for Airmen to continue serving while filling critical total force needs in an Air Reserve component. Interested Airmen should first contact their local in-service recruiter for additional information. They may also visit http://afreserve.com or call 800-257-1212 for the AFR or navigate to http://GOANG.com/careers.

$,7 JUDGXDWHV SUHVHQW PRGHO RI UHWLULQJ DLUFUDIW WR PXVHXP The Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter served the U.S. Army as eyes on the ground for 45 years, beginning at the height of the Vietnam War. Its primary mission was intelligence gathering, aerial security and air-to-ground integration for the ground force commander. Due to the Army Restructure Initiative, however, the U.S. Army will be removing the helicopter from operations and new maintainers for the airframe will no longer be required. To pay tribute to its service, the final graduating Kiowa Warrior maintainer class presented a scaled model of the helicopter that was used as a training aid in the school house to the U.S. Army Transportation Museum director at Fort Eustis, Aug. 13. “Its small size and agility have enabled it to be operated in close proximity of enemy combatants, remain undetected and relay valuable intelligence information,” said U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jonathan Bibbee, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 210th Aviation Regiment training chief. “The Kiowa Warrior holds a special place in the hearts of the Soldiers on the ground, knowing that when called, the Warrior would be there to assist.” The U.S. Army Transportation Museum is home to many historical artifacts used

Alcohol Abuse: Drinking your life away By Melissa Walther 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

You’re just going to have one beer. But as usual, that one beer with friends turns into two. Before you know it, you’ve killed a six-pack by yourself and are heading out to the bar for more. You tell yourself don’t have a problem. You’re with friends and only drinking to be social. You can stop whenever you want. When you pull your head out of the bottom of the glass though, you realize all of your friends have been long gone and you’re drinking alone. Alcohol and substance abuse can have lifelong consequences for anyone, but for U.S. Service members at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, help is just a conversation away, thanks to the Air Force Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment program and the Army Substance Abuse Program. “Coming forward and admitting you have a problem is a hard thing,” said one Airman who is set to graduate from the treatment program, and continues to serve. “I was going through a rough time. I was going through a divorce and had just come off a special duty that was very stressful. I transitioned into a very low-stress

office, and that change was hard for me to handle. I enjoy the high-pressure, high-stress environment and going into an office environment was a night and day difference. My problems began when I left that atmosphere.” The 25-year-old Airman declined to be identified at this time, but said he realized he had a problem when he couldn’t sleep at night. “I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep at night, I was getting involved in things that were potentially very dangerous and I was getting talks from my family,” he said. “My coworkers didn’t really notice I had a problem, but I had a close friend who suggested I talk to my chief and first sergeant.” Although he said he was nervous about selfidentifying, the Airman said it was the best thing he could have done at the time, and it saved his career. “They were extremely supportive,” he said. “They got my family involved, which is what I wanted; my chief still talks to my mom. They got me into a treatment program and got me the help I needed. They fought for my career and let me stay in the Air Force; I was definitely on a path to a dishonorable discharge.” In treatment since January, the Airman said he is glad he self-identified and got involved

with the ADAPT program. “Self-identifying is huge,” he said. “If you don’t and you’re referred, the repercussions are enormous. [Self-identifying] shows a lot of courage and it makes a huge difference with your command. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.” This month marks the Airman’s five-year anniversary in the Air Force, and he said he is considering his options for staying in and continuing his service. He also said he’s considering becoming an advocate for the program, because it allowed him to turn his life around. Although the program has gotten him back on track with his life, he said he felt self-identifying was helpful on a more personal level than just making a good impression on his chain of command. “You get out of it what you put into it,” he said. “We talk about things that bother us, meditation, coping skills to deal with stress, things like that. If you have the attitude that you don’t need this, you wont get anything out of it. Go into it with an open mind and you can get a lot out of it. I feel like a changed person today.” For more information or to seek treatment, contact the Langley Air Force Base ADAPT office at 764-6840 or the Fort Eustis Behavioral Health Clinic at 314-7558.

The American Red Cross recommends emergency kits contain: ■ Waterproof container and a first-aid kit ■ Sturdy leashes, harnesses, and/or carriers to transport pets safely and ensure they cannot escape ■ Current photos of pets in case they get lost ■ Food, drinkable water, bowls, cat litter and pan, and a manual can opener ■ Information on feeding schedules, medical conditions, behavior problems and the name and number of the pet’s veterinarian in case they are fostered or boarded ■ A pet bed or toys if easily transportable In addition to preparing an emergen-

By purchasing and using a Rescue Alert Sticker, Service members will be able to inform rescue workers that there are animals in the home. The sticker should be placed in a visible area, like the front door, and should include the types and number of pets in the home, and a number to the pet’s veterinarian. If the member is forced to evacuate with their pets, they should write “evacuated” across the sticker to avoid wasting rescue workers’ time.

Have an evacuation plan According to the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, pet owners should determine where their pets would shelter during an evacuation. They also advise checking with family and friends, veterinarians or local kennels that offer sheltering services. After choosing a shelter, owners should find out from pet shelters what documentation they require and include it in the pet’s emergen-

Pet owners should call ahead to confirm emergency shelter arrangements for themselves and their pets. Local emergency managers can be contacted to inquire about pet-friendly shelters in the area.

Re-familiarize pets After it is deemed safe to return home, pets should be leashed-walked until they become re-oriented to their area. According to the National Weather Service, “familiar scents and landmarks may be altered and pets could easily be confused and become lost.” The animal’s behavior should also be closely monitored as pets may become aggressive or defensive due to trauma.

$UP\ WDNLQJ VWHSV WR LPSURYH LWV &60 6*0 NH\ ELOOHW WDOHQW PDQDJHPHQW HIIRUWV By David Vergun ARMY NEWS SERVICE

The Army has implemented changes to how it considers, selects and slates command sergeants major and sergeants major for the privilege of serving in Command Select List positions. For four years, the CSL system has ďŹ lled the Army’s most critical brigade and battalion-level CSM and SGM key billets with the best qualiďŹ ed senior NCOs. To optimize the CSL system, adjustments are being made so it continues to serve as a key tool in shaping the future of the Army, ofďŹ cials said. These changes are expected to beneďŹ t the Army by putting the most senior NCO talent in the right place, at the right time, said Col. Lane M. Turner, Human Resources Command command management branch chief, Fort Knox, Kentucky. Serving as a command sergeant major or sergeant major in a key billet, at any level, any location, in any unit across the Army, is an extraordinary privilege and honor, Turner said. While the nation still faces emerging threats, security-environment uncertainty and budgetary constraints, the need for committed leaders never waivers, he said. He added that the Army continues to need competent and innovative leaders who possess the depth and breadth of character who are committed to Soldiers, while also understanding an ever-changing environment. The changes will be implemented in the ďŹ scal year 2016 CSM centralized selection list board, which meets Oct. 27, this year. The changes were announced Aug. 12, in a Military Personnel message at https:// www.hrc.army.mil/Milper/14-221.

Opt-in, all-in The ďŹ rst two changes are “opt-inâ€? and “all-in.â€? In years past, an NCO who chose not to opt-in was actually opted in by default, said John H. Heinrichs, chief, Enlisted Command Management Branch. In other words, senior NCOs would compete by doing nothing.

The new opt-in policy ensures that those who do not take positive action to compete are not defaulted in, and will not compete for a CSM assignment, Heinrichs said, adding that those who choose not to opt in are also not penalized in any way. However, Heinrichs said he hopes NCOs will consider opting in for the good of the Army and to broaden their own personal development. Here’s how the opting in mechanism works: An NCO visits the Common Access Card-enabled online Command Preference Designator, or CPD website at https://www.hrc.army.mil/PERSINSD/ToolsandApplicationsDirectory, and clicks on Soldier Selection Preference. The CPD is an automation system tool that provides NCOs with the ability to prioritize their preferences in those categories for which they are eligible to compete. Incidentally, the CPD system knows the military occupational specialty of the NCO logging into the system. If he is an infantry Soldier, the system will not even offer other options like signal or ďŹ eld artillery. It will only offer infantry-related or branch immaterial positions from which to choose. The second change is that all NCOs who “opt inâ€? must now be “all in.â€? In prior years, NCOs were not required to compete in all CSL categories for which they were eligible. An NCO might have opted in for operations but not generating force positions, Heinrichs said. Now, when an NCO opts in, he or she is “all in.â€? So now they are opted into all categories for which they are eligible. There were times in the past when we left our “best athletesâ€? on the bench, Turner said, meaning that if an NCO who

Placing the right non-commissioned ofďŹ cer in the right command sergeant major assignment is critical to the Army, since the CSM advises the commander and monitors the pulse of the enlisted force. Here, Command Sgt. Maj. Marion E. Arnett, senior enlisted adviser for Task Force Troubleshooter, places a Screaming Eagle patch on the right shoulder of Lt. Col. Benjamin S.

NCO preference The fourth change is NCO preference. Preference refers to the ability of NCOs to prioritize both the subcategories for which they are eligible and the units available within each subcategory. SEE EFFORTS PAGE 11

EFFORTS FROM PAGE 10 In the past, NCOs did not have the ability to prioritize their subcategories, Heinrichs said, therefore NCOs had no ability to communicate their subcategory preferences. They could only rank unit preferences within each subcategory for which they were eligible. Now they can prioritize both the subcategories and the projected unit vacancies in each subcategory.

One score The fifth change is known as one score. In the past, the CSL board would vote on the NCO in every subcategory in which they competed, Heinrichs said. If the NCO’s scores were high enough, he or she became a principal. If not selected as a principal, the NCO could have been an alternate in multiple subcategories. Beginning this year, the CSL board will not vote every subcategory, he explained. Instead, they’re going to first review the NCO’s record and then establish a single score for that NCO. The Department of the Army Secretariat will place the NCO on the Order of Merit List, based on his or her score. The Order of Merit List is then used to place the NCOs into subcategories as designated by their CPD preferences.

Alternates The sixth change has to do with the way alternates are managed. In the past, NCOs who were not selected as principals but chosen as alternates, could have remained on the alternate list without being activated, Turner said, leaving that talent “on the bench.” This year, if an NCO isn’t selected as a principal, that NCO will be placed on an alternate select Order of Merit List by functional category. This change helps ensure the Army maintains a balance of talented NCOs across its spectrum and allows it to get its “best athletes” on the field. Turner explained that alternates can be activated for a variety of reasons, such an un-forecasted position vacancy, retirement or medical board. “This new way of managing alternates may also take you out of your comfort zone and put you into an assignment that diversifies your experience,” Heinrichs promised. It also demonstrates selfless service showing the NCO’s willingness to serve where the Army needs him or her.

subcategories. In prior years, HRC’s Sergeants Major Branch did slating, Heinrichs said. On occasion, they may not have had the background needed to understand the nuances associated with assignment. Now, the enlisted assignment branches within the career divisions at HRC will do the unit slating. Specifically, it will be the enlisted branch chiefs and branch sergeants major.

Merging functions The last change has to do with greater efficiencies and streamlining of processes within HRC itself. The command management branches within the Officer Personnel Management Directorate and the Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate are in the process of merging the functionality of the CSL processes and procedures into a single branch. Although the command management processes of the two branches are similar, they don’t quite mirror one another, Turner said. The change should result in greater synchronization and efficiencies and provide a single-point office to manage all CSL issues. “In the past, officers would slate for officers and the enlisted would slate for enlisted – the two processes were never integrated,” Heinrichs said. “We were delinked entirely.” He said the integration will create a more collaborative environment.

Incremental changes

There are strong indications that the desired results will be achieved, Turner noted, since similar changes went into effect last year for the lieutenant colonel and colonel CSL boards. Those went well, Turner said, with around 80 percent of the officers opting in, which was a percentage that’s fairly consistent with the previous years-old system opt-out rate. He hopes the NCO percentages will stay the same or even increase. One of the most successful changes was the opt-in system which requires officers, and now NCOs, to take a series of positive actions to compete for the privilege of CSL. The Army is looking for those who truly desire the privilege of serving in these incredibly important and responsible positions. Turner added that the officer CSL boards Slating last year were valuable in that lessons The seventh change, slating, takes place learned and the after-action reviews were post-board. Slating has to do with assign- given close scrutiny before this year’s launch ing NCOs to specific units within their of the redesigned CSM CSL program.

Changes to academic degree and developmental education expectations

BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FUTURE LEADERS LEARNING CENTER

Ages: 5 to 12 Days: Monday-Friday Times: 6:30am-6:30pm

Before School Care: $35 • After School Care: $45

Air Force News Service Air Force officials announced actions designed to set clear expectations, restore Airmen’s time and refocus officer promotions on job performance. The Air Force has addressed longstanding perceptions that to be promoted, officers must complete an advanced academic degree, and those officers selected by a promotion board to attend developmental education in-residence, are expected to first complete that same level of developmental education by correspondence. “My number one priority is taking care of people and these initiatives aim to do just that,” said Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James. “Our intention is to set clear expectations and ensure that, where possible, we give time back to our officers,” continued Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III. Effective Dec. 1, advanced academic degrees will no longer be considered for officers meeting line of the Air Force promotion boards below the grade of colonel. Additionally, information provided to all promotion board members will only show the “completed” level of developmental education or whether the officer is a “select” to attend in-residence. The method and year of completion will no longer be displayed. “The change does not prevent officers from completing an advanced academic degree, which is important to officer development,” Welsh said. In fact, officers are expected to have an advanced academic degree for promotion to colonel. The changes allow the officer to focus on job performance and acquire an advanced academic degree at a time best suited for their life, career and family with-

out worrying about possible effects of not having an advanced academic degree at ranks lower than colonel. “Since job performance is the most important factor when evaluating an officer for promotion, the decision to delay completion of an advanced academic degree will not affect their ability to serve a full career in the Air Force,” Welsh said. The other issue on corresponding PME versus in-residence PME was based on the belief that officers who complete PME by distance learning early are demonstrating more initiative and are therefore more competitive for future opportunities and/or promotion. The Air Force wants to debunk this perception by refocusing on job performance and Airmen’s time. “We realize how valuable time is and want to give that time back to our officer corps,” Welsh said. Officers chosen as “selects” on promotion boards will be prohibited from completing the distance learning course unless they are subsequently designated to attend a program requiring the distance learning course to obtain full Joint PME credit. In addition, boards will be instructed to consider those with “select” status as having completed PME thereby eliminating any timing concerns for those “selects” meeting promotion boards prior to attending PME in-residence. The Air Force also enacted an important change for captains. Every

active- duty captain will have an opportunity to attend Squadron Officer School in-residence and criteria for selection to attend will be based on the officer’s date of rank, duty requirements and family situation rather than whether or not they have already completed the distance learning course. In fact, they will no longer be allowed to complete the distance learning course unless operationally deferred and within one year of meeting the promotion board to major. The distance learning course will remain available for Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve officers. “We understand our Airmen are challenged every day to accomplish the mission with limited time, manpower and resources,” Welsh said. “By eliminating these perceived expectations, we hope to remind our officers that job performance is what we value most and that we want them to have a life away from work. “A balanced force is a healthy force and these changes strive to promote equilibrium in our Airmen’s lives,” James said. The new policy modifications will be captured in the Air Force Guidance Memorandums to Air Force Instruction 36-2301, Developmental Education and AFI 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems. The first promotion board to implement the new policy will be the Major’s Central Selection Board scheduled for Dec. 1.

He was simply a great man. “What I’ll always remember about Harry is that he was a true patriot and the epitome of what we hope and expect of our senior leaders – a leader who is competent, able to do whatever job is given to him and to do it to the best of his ability with commitment to Soldiers, the Army, the nation, the mission and able to balance that with commitment to his family.” Following Odierno, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology Heidi Shyu recalled her relationship with Greene. He had served as her deputy for Acquisition and Systems Management until deploying to Afghanistan just eight months ago. “My words can’t fully express the sense of loss – the sadness – we share with the Greene family,” she said. “In his 34-year career, Harry was an engineer of technical expertise, business acumen and decisive leadership to the Army.

She asked the general how he was managing the challenging conditions and the hectic pace he was facing on a daily basis. “He told me in no uncertain terms, ‘it got me out of the Pentagon,’ and ‘there’s no other place I’d rather be, because I’m surrounded by Soldiers,’” she recalled. “We say ‘goodbye’ to our fallen friend.

Important information and helpful links on sleep, activity and nutrition – the three components of the Performance Triad – are now available as an app that can be downloaded to any smartphone. While the Performance Triad version 1.0 is useful in its current form, future versions will contain interactive features, according to Lt. Col. Myong S. Woo, Health Informatics officer, technical lead for Performance Triad. The Army Office of the Surgeon General would like to receive feedback from Soldiers, Army civilians and family members about exactly what they would like the app to feature, she said, as app developers are meeting next month to discuss future versions. Commanders have already expressed interest in an interactive dashboard feature that would allow them to provide guidance to their troops or answer any questions or concerns they might have, she said, adding that Soldiers would have complete control of their confidentiality. Perhaps Soldiers would like a daily inspirational message or tips on managing work, while getting the proper amount of sleep, or a nutritional tip of the day.

After reviewing the content users should click on “review” to provide feedback, she said, adding that it would be excellent if squad leaders and other leaders can promote the app to their Soldiers and their own family members. The app supports the Army’s Ready and Resilient Campaign by giving Soldiers and family members the tools they

need to maintain peak performance, Woo concluded, adding that August is Performance Triad month, and it’s also the oneyear anniversary when the first Performance Triad pilot course started. The Army Public Health Command, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, U.S. Army Combined Arms Support Command and U.S. Army Sustainment Center of Excellence also participated in the apps development and will participate in future revisions, Woo said.

Service members receive RAND military workplace survey Air Force News Service About 580,000 service members have begun receiving emails or letters inviting them to participate in the first RAND Military Workplace Study, Defense Department officials said. Active and reserve component members in all military branches and the Coast Guard are being invited to participate. “The survey is unprecedented in its scale and will influence policies that affect everyone in the services,” defense officials said.

The survey is voluntary and confidential. No one at DOD will ever see how an individual service member responds, officials stressed. “No service member may be ordered or pressured to complete the survey or not to complete it,” officials said. Survey respondents can forward the survey to their personal email addresses and they can complete the survey on smart phones. Service members may use duty time to complete the survey. Additionally, Service members will not all see the same survey questions.

The study will help commanders at all levels evaluate current military workplace relations, professionalism and personal safety, officials said. It will have important implications for how the military operates. It can have implications on military training, justice and services. The survey is being conducted independently of the DOD by experts at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation. A full and public report of the RAND findings will be available in May 2015.
