THE U.S. MUST LEAD Petraeus: Defeating extremism will take blood and treasure By Tom Chambers | MilitaryPress

“W

e are engaged in a generational struggle,� says retired Gen. David Petraeus. “This is not the fight of a decade, much less a few years. This is going to go on for decades.� Petraeus, architect of the 2006 military surge in Iraq and former CIA director, spoke Nov. 28 at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda at an event sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Orange County and the Nixon Foundation. In addition to taking questions, he covered a wide range of topics, including lessons the U.S. should learn from 16 years of war with Islamist extremism. “We have to recognize that given the duration of this, you have to have a sustained commitment. That means, it has to be sustainable,� Petraeus said. “And that is measured in blood and in treasure.� Petraeus, 65, said such a commitment has to be fully comprehensive. “You cannot counter extremists like ISIS and al-Qaida and terrorists like that with just counter-terrorist operations,� he said. “You can’t drone strike or Delta Force raid your way out of this problem.� “You can’t play Whac-A-Mole. You have to whack all the moles, all the time, everywhere.� The general said it is important for the United States to continue to be involved in the Middle East. “Ungoverned spaces in the Muslim world will be exploited by Islamist extremists,� he said. “It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when and how significant.

Symphony is back, and it delivers By Bob Morey MilitaryPress

Over the years, I have experienced many a memorable night with the San Diego Symphony. But every now and then a performance is so good it will become a life-long night to remember that will be ranked with favorite nights and talked about for years to come. The recent performance of “Mozart’s Requiemâ€? was one of those nights! To call it a spellbinding tour de force from the first to the final note would be an understatement. The power the Symphony displayed in “Requiemâ€? simply states, “We’re back for our new season, and we’re ready to play.â€?

Midshipmen to honor Blue Angels for Army-Navy Game One goal remains: Beat Army The Midshipmen will take on the Black Knights in the annual Army-Navy game on Dec 9. in Philadelphia, and will be doing so in these awesome Blue Angelsinspired uniforms. The school unveiled the uniforms featuring hand-painted helmets depicting the planes in Delta Formation paired with a yellow chrome face mask representing the visors pilots flying the Blue Angels wear on Twitter. The two schools tend to debut unique uniforms for the game each season, usually as a tribute to one of their respective squadrons. “This tribute to the Blue Angels reflects the enthusiastic pride and appreciation we have for the Navy’s premier flying team and the motivation they convey to Navy football and the fleet at large,� said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. “The masterminds at Under Armour are always thinking of ways to inspire our troops while still reflecting a deep appreciation for a Naval history that is so ingrained in our game day traditions. Annually, a special Navy uniform has become a statement in this game and brings with it appreciated meaning and a clear message that we are all in.� “Our partnership with the United States Naval Academy has afforded us the opportunity to tell some incredible stories through our specialty uniform designs and

It inspires and excites all who stand witness and we couldn’t think of a better way to pay homage to their great feats than creating a uniform that pays tribute to them.�

For the Navy football program, this season has come down to accomplishing one remaining goal: Beating Army. Head coach Ken Niumatalolo said before the season that Navy had two major goals with reclaiming the Commander-in-Chief ’s Trophy and capturing the American Athletic Conference championship ranking as 1 and 1A. Memphis clinched the West Division of the American by beating SMU, so that goal is gone. The final game of the regular season is what’s most important to Navy at this point. Army and Navy both beat Air Force this season, so the Commander-in-Chief ’s Trophy will be on the line the second Saturday in December at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Army and Navy last played for the Commander-in-Chief ’s Trophy in 2012. It also happened in 2005. Prior to that, the trophy was last on the line during the Army-Navy game way back in 1996. This may be the best Army football team since 1996, which was the last time the West Point contingent captured the CIC Trophy. The Black ,OJHIUT CPBTU BO SFDPSE XJUI B 21-0 shutout of Air Force being the highlight. Army also defeated Temple, which turned around and beat Navy in its next game. Head coach Jeff Monken has done a tremendous job of rebuilding Army during his four-year tenure, leading the team to consecutive eight-win seasons capped by bowl berths. As an independent, the Black Knights have been playing a pretty weak schedule in recent years, but that makes sense for a program that managed just one winning season from 1997 through 2015.

MILITARY COMMEMORATES NAVAJO CODE TALKERS By Suzan Holl 20th CBRNE Command

BERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Sgt. Major Lisa Cowboy, command career counselor for the 20th CBRNE Command, was the guest speaker at the National Native American Indian Heritage Observance held at the Stark Recreation Center on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Nov. 9. During the month of November, the Army participates in National American Indian Heritage Month by recognizing the contributions Native American Soldiers have made to the Army and the Armed Forces throughout our nation’s history. The Huffington Post recently reported that American Indians serve in the country’s armed forces in greater numbers per capita than any other ethnic group. They have served with distinction in every major conflict for over 200 years and 27 Native Americans have been awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military honor. A member of the Navajo tribe, Cowboy was raised on a Navajo reservation in a small community called Chilchinbeto,

round our home,� said Cowboy, who added it was her family’s livelihood that eventually determined their surname. When the federal government was moving the Indians on to reservations, they were given surnames that related to the type of work they did, she said. Since her grandfather was riding horses and rounding up cattle, he was given the name Cowboy. Of all the Armed Services, she joined the Army because it was the only service that offered a career as an information systems analyst when she enlisted in 1997. Now with slightly more than 20 years of service, she holds a bachelor’s degree in information technology and a master’s degree in leadership studies from The University of Texas at El Paso. She reclassified her Army occupational specialty to career counselor in 2007 and came on board as the command career counselor for the 20th CBRNE command in August. At the observance, Cowboy spoke about how, as a young girl, she listened to stories of her great-grandfathers who served with the U.S. Marines as Navajo Code Talkers during World War II. “In the early 1940s, the Marine Corps recruited 29 Navajo Indians to develop and implement a military code using the Navajo language,� Cowboy said. “By the end of the war, there were approximately 420 Navajos that had trained to be

code talkers. They would later be largely known as the ‘Navajo Code Talkers’.� According to Naval History and Heritage Command, the idea to use Navajo for secure communications came from Philip Johnston, the son of a missionary to the Navajos and one of the few non-Navajos who spoke their language fluently. Johnston, reared on the Navajo reservation, was a World War I veteran who knew of the military’s search for a code that would withstand all attempts to decipher it. He also knew that Native American languages, notably Choctaw, had been used in World War I to encode messages. Johnston believed Navajo answered the military requirement for an undecipherable code because Navajo is an unwritten language of extreme complexity. Its syntax and tonal qualities, not to mention dialects, make it unintelligible to anyone without extensive exposure and training. It has no alphabet or symbols, and is spoken only on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest. One FTUJNBUF JOEJDBUFT UIBU MFTT UIBO OPO Navajos, none of them Japanese, could understand the language at the outbreak of World War II. Cowboy explained that when a Navajo code talker received a message, what he heard was a string of unrelated Navajo words. The code talkers first had to translate each Navajo word into its English equivalent. The selection of a given term was based on the first letter of the English

meaning of the Navajo word. For example, “Wo-La-Chee�, is the Navajo word for “ant� and would represent the letter “A�. Other words such as “be-lasana� (apple) and “tse-nill� (axe), would also be substituted in order to eliminate excessive repetition, which could have allowed the code to be intercepted. One way to say the word “Army� in Navajo code would be “wol-la-chee� (Ant) “gah� (Rabbit) Na-as-tso-si (Mouse) Tsah-aszih (Yucca).� Thus, the translation would be taking the first letter of each English word, A-R-M-Y. The original code the Navajos created at Camp Pendleton, had approximately 200 terms and grew to over 400 by war’s end, Cowboy said. “In training, all the codes had to be memorized. On the battlefield, the code was never written down, it was always spoken,� she said, “And the code talkers could communicate in 20 seconds what UPPL UIF UFDIOPMPHZ PG UIBU UJNF NJOutes to do.� The code devised by the Navajo Marines was the only code in the history of American warfare that was never broken and helped the U.S. Marine Corps as they battled across the Pacific from 19421945. The battle of Iwo Jima is one of the finest examples of the code talker’s proficiency. During that battle, six Navajo Code Talkers sent over 800 messages without error. Cowboy said that according to Maj. Howard Conner, the Fifth Marine Division’s Signal Officer, ‘The entire operation was directed by Navajo code. . . During the two days that followed the initial landings, I had six Navajo radio nets working around the clock . . . They sent and received over 800 messages without an error. Were it not for the

Navajo Code Talkers, the Marines never would have taken Iwo Jima.’ Following World War II, the code talkers were ordered to keep the code a secret in case America needed to use the code BHBJO o XIJDI JU EJE PO B TNBMM TDBMF JO the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. The code talkers remained silent about their time as Marines until 1968 when the code was declassified, Cowboy said. Although neither of her biological grandfathers were Code Talkers, Cowboy explained that in the Navajo tradition an elder in the tribe is considered a grandfather to all through the Navajo clanship. Those stories about her grandfathers are what inspired her to enlist in the Army and continue the American Indian tradition of military service. “The stories carried a message of perseverance, strength, tradition, teamwork, and survival that I have embraced and leaned on in my own career,� she said. In her closing remarks Cowboy quoted John Brown, Jr., one of the original code talkers who spoke on behalf of the Navajo Code Talkers in front of the members of Congress and the United States Marine Corps, who said, “We have seen much in our lives; we have experienced war and peace; we know the value of freedom and democracy that this great nation embodies. But, our experiences have also shown us how fragile these things can be, and how we must stay ever vigilant to protect UIFN "T DPEF UBMLFST o BT .BSJOFT o XF did our part to protect these values.

This year, Army owns wins over opponents such as Fordham, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan and Rice. Meanwhile, Navy stands at 6-5. The Midshipmen must win at least one more game to avoid suffering just their second MPTJOH TFBTPO TJODF Many pundits have the Midshipmen meeting an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent in the Military Bowl on Dec. 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Playing a postseason contest in its own stadium for the second time in three years cannot be very attractive for the Navy players, especially the seniors. However, it is looking more and more like a distinct possibility, since the Ameri-

can Athletic Conference works in conjunction with its bowl partners to create the best matchups that make sense in terms of travel and geography. You can be darn sure that Military Bowl organizers would love to land Navy to basically guarantee a successful game. A dream matchup for the Military Bowl would be Navy against Georgia Tech in a showdown of triple-option practitioners and the first meeting between teacher and pupils. Niumatalolo and offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper are both disciples of Paul Johnson, the former Navy head coach who is now in his 10th year at Georgia Tech. Military Bowl executive director Steve Beck would be just as happy with a NavyVirginia border battle as that also would attract a good crowd to Annapolis. Virginia is 6-6.
