NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

The tools of the Battle of Midway By Benjamin Christensen, NDW Waterline staff writer The tools of the trade for the Sailors at Midway were varied yet distinguished, and stood tall against the Imperial Japanese Navy's weapons. The Battle of Midway, which took place from June 4-8 1942, was a turning point in the PacificWar and arguably set the stage for the United States to help win the SecondWorldWar. Soldiers from all military branches played a part in the battle, but the primary burden of the engagement was shouldered by naval fleet forces. “The Navy has core values and the people who fought at Midway personify them,” said Robert Cressman, a historian with the Naval History and Heritage Command. The battle is noted as being the first decisive victory by the United States in the war with Japan. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) had already made broad strokes in the Pacific, beginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of the Philippines, Malaya and Singapore, the Battle of Wake Island and recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea. “It was a major battle in terms of our own ability to meet the enemy and defeat him,” said Cressman. "The skill of the attacks and heroism was great on both sides.” The biggest and most obvious piece of technology that the U.S. Navy photo courtesy Naval History and Heritage Command Sailors at Midway utilized was of course the aircraft carriers, all U.S. Navy Douglas TBD-1 Devastators of Torpedo Squadron 6 (VT-6) unfolding their wings on the deck of three of which were of the Yorktown class: the Enterprise (CV 6), the Hornet (CV 8), and the Yorktown (CV 5). These massive USS Enterprise (CV 6) prior to launching for attack against four Japanese carriers on the first day of the

Launched on the morning of 4 June 1942, against the JapanSee Midway, Page 5 ese carrier fleet during the Battle of Midway, the squadron lost ten of fourteen aircraft during their attack.

A lot of individuals do a lot of different work at theWashington Navy Yard and beyond, but who are they and what are they really doing? Naval Facilities Engineering CommandWashington, or NAVFAC Washington, is one of the largest and most active tenant commands on location at Naval Support Activity Washington (NSAW). NAVFAC Washington provides public works services to Navy and Marine Corps installations in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia. Each time the lights go on, water flows, doors open and buses

run on schedule, it is because of behind the scenes efforts performed by public works employees. “Our mission is to provide efficient and effective infrastructure and base services to our supported commands,” said Capt. Kenneth Branch, commanding officer, NAVFAC Washington. “At the installations we serve, we actually succeed best if people don’t even notice us.” The role of public works in improving quality of life for Department of the Navy personnel in the National Capital Region is recognized during National PublicWorks Week, May 20-26. NAVFAC Washington’s Public Works Departments work directly for base commanding officers to provide services that range from basic utility requirements to advanced

COMSUBGRU 2 Visits Mississippi, Praises State for Support of Submarine and Crew By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, Commander, Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs Commander, Submarine Group 2 visited the Mississippi Gulf Coast May 16-18 in preparation of the commissioning of Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Mississippi (SSN 782), the ninthVirginia-class submarine. The future USS Mississippi will be commissioned in Pascagoula on June 2. "This is going to be an incredible moment for the history of the state," said Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, who met with host-city officials, PCU Mississippi Commissioning Committee members and submarine veterans during his visit to the Magnolia State. While meeting with submarine veterans from the United States SubmarineVeterans Inc. (USSVI) Base, in Biloxi, Breckenridge thanked them for their contributions and support. "The spirit and pride that you all have for the future USS Mississippi is eye-watering," said Breckenridge. "The hospitality, support and the response from the citizens of Mississippi for their ship has been phenomenal." Breckenridge added that their namesake state will play a pivotal role in the history of the boat and forge a strong bond that will endure during its lifespan of 33 years. "When the ship is brought to life and the crew is called to man their ship, that is when USS Mississippi will become part of the U.S. Navy," said Breckenridge, who added that the future USS Mississippi will be the fifth ship to bear the name of its namesake state. Herbert Edmonds attended a submarine veterans meeting with the admiral and he praised the technological advancements of the Virginia-class program. "The ship is all computerized, completely different from what I served aboard, but I'm so looking forward to see it," said Edmonds. Edmonds is one of 50 members of the USSVI Tullibee Base of Mississippi, which was charted on Aug. 25, 2001.The oldest member of the USSVI Tullibee Base, retired Lt. Cmdr. Richard Halloran, 91, served 29 years in the Navy and volunteered for submarine service, ultimately serving aboard six submarines while on active duty. Virginia-class submarines are built under a unique teaming arrangement between General Dynamics Electric Boat

New Web Based Housing early application tool From Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WASHINGTON - Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) announced the phased Navy-wide release of the Housing Early Application Tool (HEAT) beginning May 1. This web based tool will allow Sailors and their families to apply for housing online from any computer. “HEAT makes the Navy house hunting process smoother and less stressful for our Sailors and their families. By providing the early housing application online, Sailors and their spouses can use HEAT to review housing and community information, and make an informed decision on a home before receiving their permanent change of station (PCS) orders,” said Vice Adm. William French, Commander, Navy Installations Command. HEAT utilizes authoritative systems to reduce the amount of personal information and to steam line the online process. HEAT can be securely accessed from any computer with an internet connection. Service members or their spouses can use HEAT prior to receiving permanent change of station (PCS) orders to request information about community housing or check on their eligibility for military and privatized housing. They may also submit HEAT requests to multiple Installations if they are not sure where they may be stationed next.

“Our goal with HEAT is to reach out to Sailors early in the PCS process to reduce stress and provide proactive support when moving from one duty station to another,” said CorkyVazquez, CNIC Housing Program Manager. “With HEAT, Sailors and their families are able to make contact with our Navy Housing Service Centers and Privatization Partners to discuss their housing needs and learn about their housing options at any time. HEAT makes it easy to connect with our housing professionals and make informed decisions before even having orders.” HEAT will be deployed Navy-wide by Navy Region according to the following schedule: • Naval District Washington, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic and Navy Region Midwest began May 1, • Navy Region Southwest began May 8, • Navy Region Southeast began May 15, • Navy Region Europe, Africa, Asia beginning May 22, • Navy Region Hawaii beginning May 29, • Navy Region Japan, Navy Region Korea and Singapore Area Coordinator beginning June 8, • Joint Region Marianas beginning June 15. HEAT will be implemented by region and will be Navy-wide by June 30. To access HEAT and for more information about when your base will have HEAT, please visit http://www.cnic.navy.mil/HEAT.

MIDWAY Continued from 1 carriers, each with a standard displacement of around 20,000 tons, were built following lessons learned that large carriers were more operationally useful and tended to survive longer (this survivability may have played a role in that only one carrier was lost at Midway). They all had speeds of around 32 knots, and ranges of 12,500 nautical miles. The Enterprise was the only vessel of the three to survive the war and for its service earned 20 battle stars, the most of any vessel during WWII. Just as important as the carriers themselves were the aircraft that they carried and deployed. Probably the most notable of them (at least in number) were the Douglas SBD-3 "Dauntless" dive bombers, which were used extensively in attacks against the IJN fleet. The Dauntless bombers had a maximum speed of 222 knots, and while slow and cumbersome at early stages of the war, they became one of the most efficient and successful bombers in naval history. Escorted by their Grumman F4F "Wildcat" fighters, the Navy bombers utilized a new "Hellfire" bombing technique that gave them an advantage over their Marine coun-

Waterline

terparts. The Wildcats were notable in their own right; even though they were less maneuverable and slower than their Japanese Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter counterparts, they achieved nearly a 6-1 kill-to-loss ratio in air-to-air combat in 1942. Of the Wildcats, British test pilot Eric Brown said, "I would still assess the Wildcat as the outstanding naval fighter of the early years ofWorldWar II ... I can vouch as a matter of personal experience, this Grumman fighter was one of the finest shipboard aeroplanes ever created." However, even with all of the technology that was in their hands, the Sailors at Midway had to rely on their training and skill first and foremost, as ships and planes are ultimately just tools. These Sailors responded to their need in fine fashion, delivering the first major victory for the United States in the war.

The Mother of all Battles: Saddam Hussein’s Strategic Plan for the Persian Gulf War Reviewed by Cmdr. Youssef Aboul-Enein The Mother of all Battles: Saddam Hussein’s Strategic Plan for the Persian Gulf War by Kevin M.Woods. The Official U.S. Joint Forces Command Report published by the Naval Institute Press, 291 Wood Road,Annapolis,Maryland. 384 pages, 2008.

It is easy to be dismissive of the losing side of any war, but that would be a tragic mistake. For no military history is complete without taking account of the adversary, with the support of the Joint Forces Command, the Naval Institute has published the Iraqi account of Operation Desert Storm. Rationalizing the Iraqi decisions for their deployments and military decisions designed within the constraints of their polity, capability and psychology is important for America’s future military leaders. Part of the future of military education is not to create sympathy but empathy for an adversary and this requires an immersion in the documents of our adversaries. Kevin Woods and the Joint Forces Command have done a great service with their Iraqi Perspectives Report. The book begins with an overview of Operation Desert Storm laying the overall political climate that led to Iraq invading Kuwait in August 1990. The book contains many surprises, such as clear Iraqi reconnaissance photographs of Kuwaiti ministries and government buildings perhaps the only successes of the Iraqi Air Force was its use of MIG-25s in the surveillance of Kuwait and the Saudi border town of Khafji in Saudi Arabia. The utility of reading Iraqi source documents is getting into Saddam Hussein’s deep psychological and allegorical frame of mind. Saddam would be heavily influenced by the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), and what he took from that was playing off the international community to gain an advantage. Some of Saddam’s allegory is not rooted in any western military tradition, but harkens back to pre-Islamic Arabia where he refers to the Iranians as the Sassanid Persians, the United States as Christian Byzantium, Israel as the Byzantine vassal state of Abysinia and finally as Iraq as pre-Islamic Arabia or Mecca sandwiched between these great powers. These allegories require an

understanding of Arabia both at the time of Prophet Muhammad and before around 570 CE. A Saddam quote that you will ponder, “If you decide to fight your enemy then you have to make him look like the aggressor.” Saddam’s conspiracy theories, regional jealousies and grand strategy at the end was reduced to money by 1990. Iraq’s war with Iran, depression of oil prices, OPECs inaction, and seeing him loose $1 billion per year for every $1 decrease in the price of oil per barrel, led to Saddam’s calculus to first intimidate and then take over Kuwait. A letter sent by Saddam to the Emir of Kuwait contained his final demands, $2.4 billion compensation for the disputed Rumailah Oil Field, $12 billion for Kuwait’s role in depressing oil prices, $10 billion in debts to be forgiven, and a long lease on the Kuwaiti island of Bubiyan. Impossible demands for Kuwait to accept and they dismissed Saddam’s bluster. Chapters reveal the most intelligent historical analogy offered by Saddam’s ministers was from his Minister of Higher Education who compared Iraq’s seizure of Kuwait to France’s retrieval of Alsace-Lorraine after World War I. Planning for the invasion of Kuwait was done exclusively by the Iraqi Republican Guard and its Chief of Staff General Aayad al-Rawi. This robbed Iraq of talented planners like the Army Chief of Staff and Iran-Iraq hero General Nizar al-Khazraji, he along with other service chiefs were informed hours before the invasion. General Ra’ad Hamdani, a brigade commander in Operation Iraqi Freedom, during Operation Desert Storm, worked the tactical solution of an armored thrust 160 KM south towards the southern tip of Kuwait City, his need for intelligence was so great he planned a covert operation

in which he dressed as a sergeant under the guise of picking up supplies for his platoon to reconnoiter the Kuwaiti port of Ahmadi. It was called off by his division commander, and they were reduced to using dated maps of 1: 100,000 scale, what helped was aerial reconnaissance of Kuwait City. Iraq’s Chief of the Navy was informed 36 hours before the invasion of Project 17 (the plan to invade Kuwait) and was given the mission of taking Faylakah Island and assume tactical control of Kuwait’s naval bases. The main invasion comprised of three separate division level thrusts into Kuwait. Despite the failure of Iraqi Air Units in providing air-ground support and damaging Kuwaiti airfields, they did succeed not just in reconnaissance but its helicopters did work relatively well in moving Special Forces units. Kuwaiti resistance took advantage of Iraq’s undisciplined regular Army units, luring troops with alcohol and slaughtering them, or into houses and killing them. Iraq’s Taha Ramadan was appointed literally a minister in charge of looting Kuwait. A chapter focuses on how Iraq planned to keep Kuwait, and among the surprises was the quotation from a candid book published by Iraqi General Hazim Ayyubi entitled, “Forty-Three Missiles on the Zionist Entity,” which details Iraq’s SCUD missile preparations that do back to 1988. This is a demonstration of the need to translate, analyze and discuss Arabic books of military interest. The book ends with a chapter on Umm al-Maarik, (Mother of all Battles), and Saddam deriving the lesson from Operation Desert Storm that President Bush Sr., did not succeed because he (Saddam) was not removed from power. This is an important read in the current climate of attempting to understand the Arab way of conventional and guerilla warfare. Editor’s Note: Cmdr. Aboul-Enein has been publishing essays highlighting Arabic books of military significance for years. His work appears in such U.S. Army journals as Infantry, Armor, and Military Review. In 19971998, Aboul-Enein served at sea in Operation Southern Watch that focused on the containment of Saddam Hussein’s forces in the southern Iraq.

Students learn history of military medicine By Helen Hocknell NSAB Public Affairs staff writer Each year, first year medical students from the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) gather in Sharpsburg, Md., for the Antietam Road March. "This is an opportunity for students to learn the principles of military medicine, and the foundations of where these innovations came from," said Navy Lt. Brian Andrews-Shigaki, USUHS assistant professor of emergency medicine, who organized this year's march. Students had originally participated in a march through nearby Rock Creek Park to break in their new boots, but the event took on a deeper meaning when it was moved to Antietam in the 1990s. During the annual event, students walk a seven-mile route around the park, volunteers dressed in period clothing demonstrate Civil War surgical procedures, and USUHS professors discuss battle tactics and the logistics of military medicine.

"It all started here," explained Andrews-Shigaki. "As the students see this battlefield and hear about the experiences of doctors in the past, they gain a better understanding of what they are learning in school now." The Battle of Antietam on Sept. 15, 1862, resulted in more than 23,000 casualties, leaving approximately 4,000 dead. It marked the single bloodiest one-day battle in American history, but many lives were saved thanks to changes implemented by Dr. Johnathan Letterman, a surgeon appointed as medical director of the Union army in June 1862. Known as "The Father of Military Medicine," Letterman was the first to organize a system for the evacuation of wounded from the battlefield. He established mobile field hospitals, connected them by an efficient ambulance corps and implemented a system for the distribution of medical supplies. KyleWichtendahl, director of interpretation and programming atThe Pry House Field Hospital Museum, said Antietam marked a turning point in the development of military medicine. "It's common sense today, but it was revolutionary at the

time - you can't re-supply a hospital you don't know is there," explained Wichtendahl. In addition to the logistical improvements introduced by Letterman, the Civil War brought about advances in first aid procedures and surgical techniques. "The CivilWar is considered to be the beginning of modern military medicine," said Dr. John Rathgeb, a retired orthopedic surgeon and volunteer with the National Museum of CivilWar Medicine. "Was it primitive?Yes. But theWright brothers didn't fly a 747. They had to start somewhere." Rathgeb explained to the student group that German and French surgeons were considered the best in the world in the early 1800s, but by the conclusion of the Civil War, American surgeons were considered on par with their European counterparts. Rathgeb said patients continue to reap the benefits of these advances nearly 150 years later. Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician 1st Class Todd Hammond, a wounded warrior and patient atWalter Reed National Military Medical Center, spoke to students about his experiences in the care of military doctors, and described how his treatment compared to the care soldiers received during the Civil War. Hammond had his right leg amputated below the knee after he was severely injured by an improvised explosive device while serving in Afghanistan in 2011. "A military doctor is not always in a hospital setting - their patients won't always be put on a table in front of them," said Hammond. "It's important that the students get a glimpse of what goes on outside the hospital, out on the battlefield." Seated on a bale of hay in a barn similar to those used as makeshift hospitals during the CivilWar, Hammond described how he was treated and transported from Afghanistan to Germany, then brought to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He showed students his scars, and explained how tourniquets were used to reduce the bleeding from the wounds to his legs. "Tourniquet theory has changed over time, but what they did for me is actually quite similar to what they did back then," explained Hammond. "Nowadays we put them higher up on the limb without worrying about tissue damage, as we know there won't be as much time elapsing between injury and treatment in a hospital," explained Hammond. Hammond said he feels grateful to the military doctors for their service, and that this trip gave him a greater appreciation of the heritage of military medicine. "Quite a few doctors who've worked on me are so skilled and talented and knowledgeable, they could go wherever they wanted. Any major trauma hospital in the country would snatch them up in a heartbeat, but they're here atWalter Reed because they want to be here and work on wounded warriors," said Hammond. "I feel lucky to have received such excellent care." Air Force 2nd Lt. Elizabeth Kim, a first-year medical student at USUHS, said hearing descriptions of the conditions CivilWar soldiers endured and learning about the logistics of battlefield medicine was both moving and enlightening. "It shows how much we can learn from the past," said Kim.
