COMMENTARY

In the May 24 issue, the Traveller misidentified one of the participants of a recent Ordnance Corps Honorary Colonel of the Regiment change of responsibility ceremony. Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Steven McWilliams, honorary SGM of the Regiment, was pictured passing the command flag off to retired Lt. Gen. Richard A. Hack, the new HCOR. The outgoing honorary colonel, retired Gen. John G. Coburn, was not able to attend the ceremony.

Correction

Fort Lee will celebrate the Army’s 237th birthday during a special June 14 event at the north entrance of the Combined Arms Support Command headquarters (adjacent to Seay Field). The festivities will include music by the 392nd Army Band, a wide variety of Army displays, a Bronze Star presentation and a cake-cutting ceremony featuring the oldest and youngest Soldiers on post.

All are welcome to this Family friendly celebration, including the general public. Starting at 2 p.m., visitors can view a variety

on and off post, including the Association of the United States Army, the U.S. Army Women’s Museum, the Quartermaster Museum, Kenner Army Health Clinic and the Family and MWR Directorate.

At 3 p.m., the official ceremony begins. It will feature a mass reenlistment with 20 Soldiers renewing their service commitment

to the Army. Also planned is the cake cutting and the Bronze Star presentation to Michael A. Willis who served with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division in Vietnam.

This event is a great opportunity for Soldiers and other Team Lee members to show their pride in being part of the Army Family. It’s also a chance for off-post community members to learn more about the installation and the Soldiers who serve the nation.

Many generations of military troops have followed in the footsteps of those first colonists who left their homes and embraced our nation’s call to duty. For 237 years, our Soldiers, their Families and Army Civilians around the world have been the strength of this great nation in peace and at war.

Today, America’s Army is engaged in nearly 150 countries, with more than 93,000 Soldiers currently deployed and

Africa, Central America and other regions of the world.

In a recent message distributed service-wide, the Army’s senior leaders also acknowledged the many successes of U.S. forces in Iraq, to include the eventual drawdown of troops and departure from that theater of operation, and the continued service in Afghanistan.

“We remain vigilant as we prepare for the challenges of an uncertain future,” wrote Secretary of the Army John McHugh, Chief of Staff of the Army Raymond Odierno, and Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond Chandler III.

“Our Army has always remained true to enduring professional values,” the service leaders also noted. “We value the dignity and respect of all our Soldiers, Families and civilians. We honor the sacred trust our nation places with us, and we remain

our nation’s loyal servants – defending the principles upon which our Declaration of Independence and Constitution were established.”

“For 237 years, America’s Army has answered the nation’s call, and we always will,” they concluded. “(In recognition of) the Army’s birthday, we thank every Soldier, civilian and Family member who has ever served in our ranks for your dedication to duty and the selfless service that have made us all Army Strong.”

Fort Lee Army Birthday Celebration guests are reminded that all visitors 18 years of age and older must present a current state- or government-issued photo identification to gain access to the installation. A current vehicle registration and proof of insurance may be requested as well.

BLACKSTONE ARMY AIRFIELD – Leaders who empathize with Soldiers and their missions, will likely reap benefits far beyond a “feel-good moment,” said Command Sgt. Maj. James Sims, Quartermaster Corps regimental command sergeant major.

That’s why he makes it a point to show his face in the schoolhouse and at training sites on a regular basis.

“When you have presence from the leadership, it per-meates across an organization,” he said. “It shows the leadership cares from the top all the way down.”

Sims was showing his concern for Soldiers May 24 when he visited Fort Pickett to talk with students and par-ticipate in airborne operations there. The school’s Aerial Delivery and Field Services Department conducts air-borne operations there twice a month for rigger advanced individual training and basic officer leader course stu-dents. Although he visits twice monthly to jump himself, the opportunity to connect with Soldiers is never taken for granted.

“I’ve been doing this thing for more than 28 years,” he said, “so I can tell you that the greatest gift for me is to give back – that’s priceless – to give to someone else all that I’ve learned from mentors, battle buddies, bosses, commanders, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers and Soldiers alike.”

On the Blackstone Army Airfield tarmac, the troops were inclined to keep their bearing as they awaited their lifts. They stood at a rigid parade rest as Sims made rounds to engage groups of Soldiers but softened their postures as the conversation evolved into banter. He was clearly enjoying himself.

“It’s always a good day be out here among these young warriors,” he said. “To be a part of it, there’s no greater gift.”

Not far from where Sims stood with the troops, his commander, the person whom he calls “battle buddy,” was busy getting instructions for a jump. Brig. Gen. Gwen Bingham, the Quartermaster School commandant, was on her first visit to Blackstone in that capacity. Like Sims, she had also engaged the troops but was minutes away from making her first tandem jump, one in which an in-experienced jumper is attached to an experienced jumper via a harness. She joined about 77 other parachutists who were eventually dropped from the sky by a C-130 aircraft.

Minutes after landing, she appeared charged, saying it was a thrill all of its own.

“Now I know why my husband put his knees in the breeze 77 times,” she said, referring to her husband Patrick, a former airborne Soldier. “It is enjoyable. I’m

glad I did it. Now my husband and I have something to talk about.”

She also has a better take on the parachute rigger course (military occupational specialty 92R) taught at the school-house and the students who undergo the training.

“I wanted to experience what our Soldiers experience,” said Bingham. “These are 92 romeos and I’m not an air-borne Soldier, so I wanted the opportunity to feel like I was a part of their world for one day in the life of a quar-termaster general. For one moment in time, I feel like I

was a part of their world.”The Quartermaster School graduates roughly 800

riggers annually. Riggers pack, maintain and repair parachutes for individuals as well as for equipment. The lack of roads and treacherous terrain make them a critical part of the logistical efforts in Afghanistan where airdropping supplies and equipment is common-place.

“What they do is phenomenal and God bless each and every one of them,” said Bingham.

More than two dozen Dominion Virginia Power employees participated in two proj-ects at Fort Lee May 23 as part of the cor-poration’s early salute to Memorial Day, military personnel, veterans and their Families. In a single day, power company volunteers carried out projects at 26 sites in 10 states as part of its Dominion Energizing Communities program.

One group of volunteers working here im-proved the landscaping around the USO and built two picnic tables for its visitors. The other group supported a Whispers of Love project beside the Army Community Service building on Mahone Avenue where they prepared a complimentary lunch for about 200 visitors and gave away phone cards and books. A registered nurse was there to pro-vide free blood pressure checks as well.

“What is special about this effort is that employees themselves selected the projects and recipi-ent organizations,” said Thomas F. Farrell II, Dominion’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Many of our employees are veterans or friends and family of vet-erans, and they personally know the needs in their com-munities and have chosen to help address them.

“This is just one of the many ways Dominion thanks those who have honorably served our country,” said Farrell. The utility company has a long-standing history

of military support. The company employs 1,300 veterans in 14 states and for the third year in a row made the “Best for Vets 2012: Employers” list at Military Times EDGE magazine.

Each of the 26 projects received $1,000 to provide sup-plies for the day’s work.

Veterans were plentiful among the volunteers at the USO last week. Michelle Washington, who retired from the Army after 21 years as a truck driver and heavy wheel

repair mechanic, and Leanna Shiflett, who served four years as an Army petroleum system specialist, worked together plant-ing hostas near the entrance to the USO. Washington is now a Dominion payroll support specialist and Shiflett, an admin-istrative assistant.

As other volunteers raked, planted and watered around the USO, a pair of vet-erans built picnic tables with a common-wealth of Virginia retiree who had tagged along with his girlfriend, a Dominion worker. Dan Boch, a Navy submariner for nine years, and Richard Burks, who served nearly 23 years in the Army and Army National Guard, helped Virginia retiree Robert Farley assemble the two tables with attached benches. Boch now works at Dominion in nuclear quality as-surance. Burks is a laborer for the utility company.

Virginia Byerson and her group of Dominion volunteers provided a lunch of

hamburgers and hotdogs with seasonal side dishes for ac-tive duty personnel who wanted a change from dining fa-cility fare and for veterans, retirees and Family members who stopped by.

Byerson is the founder and chief executive officer of Whispers of Love, which she started in late 2007. Her non-profit organization has a special emphasis on helping homeless veterans. Byerson is a contracting officer with the Defense Logistics Agency.

Supporting the Army’s No. 1 mis-sion of Soldier readiness, the Scheduling Enterprise Resource Planning system sim-plifies unit and installation planning pre-paredness by integrating massive amounts of information into a common operating picture. With SERP military leaders can make more informed decisions to effi-ciently train, prepare and deploy troops.

Enterprise systems are software ap-plications that have cross-organizational capabilities as opposed to department or group-specific “stove-piped” programs. They allow for collaboration and commu-nication across the installation through the collection of data that is accessible and us-able by multiple organizations. Gone are the days when one or two individuals were

privy to information utilizing an Excel spreadsheet to hoard assets and resources.

Team Lee has undergone major organi-zational changes resulting from the Base Realignment and Closure commission’s implementation. This is a true enterprise tool that can access and manage the neces-sary data to schedule daily activities and cross utilize limited resources. With the increase in students being trained annu-ally and competition for training dollars, it is imperative that leaders have access to accurate data. This allows them to make prudent and responsible decisions that will benefit the entire Installation, not just one influential organization. Rodney Smith of the Quartermaster School’s Petroleum Water Department said, “The application provides an organization with a common picture of all training being conducted.”

HNTB Federal Inc. has progressively

upgraded the application based on the rec-ommendations of end users – a process which is very different from other commer-cial software providers. Delores Franklin, a scheduler at the Training Supply and Equipment Division, said, “With the new upgrades, schedules can be produced in a fraction of the time.” Several organizations received commendable ratings during the recent TRADOC accreditation and evalu-ation inspection. Key observations pointed out by the team include the following:

cross utilize assets and resources.

and resources prior to the start of training.-

solved before training begins.-

toriums, training areas and other resourc-es.

TMP support.Not only does SERP allow Team Lee us-

ers to schedule resources and facilities in a geospatially referenced environment, fore-cast demand and availability of resources and facilities, it unifies a diverse com-mand structure under a common system. Jose Osorio from the Ordnance School, Training Management Organization called the system “a solid scheduling application, which allows users to produce the best product with the lowest amount of expen-diture.”

The system is free to all tenants of Fort Lee and requires only a signed system user form and a training session.

For more information on available train-ing sessions, contact Anthony McKinnon at (804) 765-7053 or Carl Lynch, BASE 4-D systems administrator, at 765-7054.

Music, exhibits, historic re-enactors and more will help commemorate 147 years of emancipa-tion from slavery at the Juneteenth Celebration at Petersburg National Battlefield in Hopewell on June 16.

The celebration will begin with a moving liba-tion ceremony beginning on the James River wa-terfront at 10 a.m.

Activities will continue at Grant’s Headquarters Unit of Petersburg National Battlefield until 3 p.m.

Presented by the Washington Cultural Foundation and the City of Hopewell, Juneteenth is a free family oriented event with musical per-formances, lectures, artillery demonstrations, children’s activities, exhibitions and tours of the house and grounds.

Also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration to mark the partial end of slavery in the United States. Celebrated in more than 200 cities, Juneteenth’s origins are in Galveston, Texas, where on June 19, 1865, slaves were informed of their freedom by Union troops including the United States Colored Troops.

The commemoration, in modern times, cel-ebrates the continued quest for freedom while also acknowledging the achievements of African Americans. Another goal of Juneteenth is to pro-mote mutual respect among diverse cultures in our community.

The General Grant’s Headquarters Unit of Petersburg National Battlefield is located at 1001 Pecan Ave. in Hopewell and is open seven days a week, every day of the year except for major holidays.

The grounds are open until dark and include nu-merous wayside exhibits on the lawn surrounding the home and on the James River waterfront. For information about Juneteenth National Freedom Day, call event organizer Rebecca Rose at (804) 541-2695 or Petersburg National Battlefield at 732-3531.

Lt. Gen. Raymond V. Mason, deputy chief of staff of the Army, G-4 (Logistics), addresses graduating students in the Theater Logistics Planners Program on May 24 at the Army Logistics University. The 27 graduates included one civilian and eight foreign military students. They spent 19 weeks learning to become innovative logisticians. Through the course, the students developed their decision analysis skills and depth in operational knowledge that will assist them in solv-ing complex operational logistic challenges.

Brig. Gen. Gwen Bingham congratulates Fort Lee Family member Sean J. Burden of Chester on his Eagle Scout promotion during a May 21 Eagle Court of Honor ceremony at the Hopewell Moose Family Center. Bingham, the Quartermaster General, was guest speaker at the event. She complimented Burden for his "demon-strated leadership and hard work," which brought him to the high-est Boy Scout rank. In recognition of his scouting achievements, Burden also received an American flag that had flown over the nation's Capitol from his uncle, Col. Patrick Burden. The Thomas Dale High School student is the son of Charles and Kathy Burden. Charles Burden is a civilian employee at CASCOM.

KENNER CONNECTION

by Spc. Jason FilesEnvironmental Health Technician

Every year those pesky little creatures, mosquitoes,come out primarily at dawn and dusk. Found all over theworld, they breed in standing, still water. That kind of wa-ter can be found in birdbaths, old tires, ditches or on tarps.

Mosquitoes must feed to breed. Eliminating standingwater is the best way to prevent mosquitoes from feedingon you. If standing water exists that cannot be removed,early detection and larval treatment is the most effectiveform of mosquito control. Kenner has a strong mosquitoabatement program, in cooperation with DEL-IPMC, tocontrol those pests on Fort Lee. Residents of housing andoccupants of buildings can also help by identifying areasaround their buildings and homes that may have the po-tential for collecting and holding water. Corrective mea-sures can then be taken.

Cleaning up water-collecting debris will help in reducingthe threat. Sometimes it is as simple as making sure emptycontainers are stored upside down so they don’t collect wa-ter. Clean birdbaths weekly, and change pet drinking bowlsdaily to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.

In Virginia, the Asian tiger mosquito is the most com-

Tell Those Mosquitoes to ‘Buzz Off’mon mosquito pest. It is active during daylight hours butwill bite after dark if there is adequate lighting or they areindoors. This mosquito breeds exclusively in natural orman-made containers that hold clear water.

Mosquitoes spread the West Nile virus and malaria.Malaria is currently not transmitted in the U.S. but mayappear in someone infected while traveling abroad. TheAsian tiger mosquito can, however, transmit West Nilevirus. In Virginia, there were nine cases reported in 2011.

Mosquitoes become infected with West Nile viruswhen they feed on infected birds. Then, when an infectedmosquito feeds on a person or animal, the virus is injectedinto that body where it multiplies and may cause illness.Most infections are mild and symptoms may include fe-ver, headache and body aches, often with skin rash andswollen lymph glands. More severe infection may bemarked by headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor,disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weak-ness, paralysis and, on rare occasions, death.

The Environmental Health Section of Kenner recom-mends the following steps for maximum protection frommosquitoes:
