Registering for some Family, Morale and
Welfare and Recreation activities now is
easier than ever.
Gone are the days of waiting in line. When
fully implemented, a new online program will
allow Bamberg community members to sign
up for Outdoor Recreation trips, pay bills,
register for classes, reserve rooms and en-
roll in activities all from the convenience of
their homes.
The new program called WebTrac was
launched in Bamberg in the spring and will
soon be available at all Army locations.
WebTrac is designed to be 'one stop' shop-
ping for customers, said Darrell Clay,
FMWR director.
―WebTrac will eventually allow authorized
patrons to also sign up for events and activi-
ties in other military installations,‖ he said.
―This literally puts Family and MWR activi-
ties and events at the finger tips of our pa-
trons.‖
Feedback has been positive from both staff
and parents so far, said Linda Shiles, Child
Youth and School Services project manager
for the Child and Youth Management Sys-
tem.
―This is one of the most successful projects
I‘ve ever worked on and it‘s been an over-
whelming success as far as customer ser-
vice goes,‖ Shiles said.
Once registered for WebTrac, patrons can
also print a monthly ―refrigerator‖ calendar
showing all activities in which the children
are participating; request placement on the
Child Care/School-age Care waiting list;
submit e-mail comments or questions di-
rectly to CYSS using the ―Contact Us‖ fea-
ture; and link directly to other related web-
sites, such as garrison home page, garrison
MWR page, Army OneSource and Army
CYS Services home page.
―Prospective CYSS patrons can start their
initial CYSS registration online,‖ Shiles said.
―They provide us with their key information
(names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.)
online. This is followed up by a short visit
with one of our Parent Central Services

ner Barracks Change of Command on July 9.
By Ashley Bateman, USAG Bamberg Public Affairs
A significant change of leadership occurred on U.S. Army Garrison
Bamberg, as Lt. Col. Gary A. Rosenberg passed responsibility of
Warner Barracks to Lt. Col. Steven L. Morris, Friday on Summerall
Field.
For the past three years, Rosenberg has commanded Warner Bar-
racks, addressing the concerns and issues of the more than 3200
Soldiers and 3700 Family members that make up the post. Making
strides in the physical development of the post, enhancing the rela-
tionship between the U.S. Army and host nation citizens and creat-
ing an atmosphere and workforce that would successfully move
into the future, Rosenberg is satisfied he has met his main goals.
Rosenberg reflected with confidence at the July 9 ceremony, at-tended by more than 200 members of the military and local com-
munities.
―I believe Warner Barracks is a better place to live and work than it
was three years ago,‖ he said.
He listed the roads, administrations spaces, offices spaces, hous-
ing and barracks as just a few of the focuses in the physical arena.
―I don‘t think there‘s a single category of space that we haven‘t
made some kind of improvement to,‖ he said. ―I want to thank
Bamberg-based Soldiers and Families for their patience and sup-
port as we made these improvements and I want to thank the Di-

Bamberg hosts women’s softball tournament By Ashley Bateman, USAG Bamberg Public Affairs
The Bamberg community women‘s softball team spent one of the
hottest days of the year so far out in the sun, making runs and bat-
tling other military community teams.
Warner Barracks hosted an open softball tournament July 10, bring-
ing teams from all over Europe to compete in pool play and a single
elimination tournament later in the day.
The leaders in the day‘s games were Lady Smash and Grafenwöhr,
who took first and second place in the tournament. Even though they
played short with only nine players, Lady Smash, an Air Force team
consisting of players from all over Europe, blew away the competi-
tion and ended the championship game early through a mercy rul-
ing.
―Graf was kind of the sleeper team, they started off slow and then
won in the tournament,‖ said Charles Williams, Bamberg sports spe-
cialist.
Bamberg went up against Schweinfurt in the first game of the day‘s
play pool at 9 a.m. The games, originally set to run 40 minutes, were
lengthened by 10 minutes when the Hohenfels team dropped out.

At the ceremony, Carol and her husband, former USAG Bamberg Commander Lt. Col. Gary A. Rosenberg, were presented with awards for their work within the community. Carol was recognized for her countless hours of volunteer work. "Her dedication and selfless service touched the lives of countless Soldiers and Families, and sup-ported the Army Family Covenant by bringing to-gether community members," the citation read. During the ceremony, Devens also awarded the former commander the Meritorious Service Medal.

King of Battle employs innovative tactics downrange
HIRED! program offers unique summer jobs for teens By Mindy Campbell,
USAG Bamberg Public Affairs Office
Isaura Fumero wandered around the room,
stopping to help a young girl put together a
Fourth of July firecracker art project.
The 17-year-old Bamberg High School
senior was leading the Community Activity
Center‘s children‘s craft day activity on a
recent Thursday afternoon. Fumero had
planned and organized the event.
It‘s not your typical way to spend a hot
summer day. But for Fumero, it is a small
price to pay for the paycheck and valuable
work experience she is gaining and hopes
to use after graduation next year.
Fumero is one of six local teens participat-
ing in HIRED!, a workforce preparation and
career exploration program.
―This is a great experience for me,‖ Fumero
said. ―I want to study psychology when I
graduate and this is a perfect opportunity
for me to get some job experience that I
would never have been able to do before.‖
The Child, Youth & School Services
HIRED! apprenticeship program offers
hands-on training and mentorship for a
specific job skill set designed to help deter-
mine if it is a viable career path for youth
ages 15-18, said Shay McNeil, program
coordinator.
While there are many youth job programs
around, HIRED! stands apart from the rest,
McNeil said.
―It really is more about youth development
then making money,‖ she said. ―It is not
designed to keep the youth busy, but to
teach them a specific job skill set.‖
The program consists of two main con-
cepts – getting paid for a job and workforce
education. The program offers four 12-
week terms. During the school year, stu-
dents work 15 hours a week, with an option
to work a 30-hour week in the summer.
Students must apply to take part in the
program. Once accepted, they then must
go through a series of training classes that
cover everything from resumes, interview
skills, personality and interest assessments
and dressing for success.

Summer craft day July 1 at the Community
Activity Center. As a HIRED! apprentice with

firecracker craft the children made at the
event.
By Staff Sgt. Bruce Cobbeldick,
173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs
WARDAK PROVINCE, Afghanistan– While some commands
either severely restrict fires or elect not to employ them effec-
tively, opting instead to fire at offset targets rather than the actual
target, the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team‗s 4th Battalion,
319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, has a new solution. The
unit, known as Task Force King while deployed, has embraced
the rules of engagement and taken active steps to reduce collat-
eral damage by developing an alternative.
This technique provides the commander with an alternative to the
potentially negative consequences of an indirect fire mission us-
ing high explosive TNT.
By reducing civilian deaths and collateral damage, Sky Soldiers
are meeting objectives that support counterinsurgency doctrine.
―Insurgents are choosing to fight among the people employing
them as human shields; this amounts to an avoidance strategy,‖
said Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Woods, 4-319th AFAR. ―Our
rules of engagement have been a challenge because our enemy
knows when we use artillery in a conventional firefight there re-
mains a very real possibility of unintended collateral damage. In
our efforts to avoid that, commanders have previously been far
less inclined to use artillery. Insurgents are not stupid. This en-
emy has been using our ROE to avoid our fire support advan-

Keep banned foodstuffs out of the United States By Robert Szostek,
USEUCOM Customs PAO
HEIDELBERG, Germany – Personnel ship-
ping household goods to the USA this sum-
mer should be careful when packing the
contents of their kitchen, agriculture officials
advise.
The Bureau of Customs and Border Protec-
tion issues fines of $300 to $1,000 to first-
time offenders who ignore the strict rules
that apply to sending food products state-
side.
―Red meats, sausages, pâtés and salami
can harbor disease viruses — even if
canned — and are therefore barred from
import,‖ said Bill Johnson, director of the
U.S. European Command's Customs and
Border Clearance Agency.
Even pasta or soup mixes that contain dried
meat are not allowed, he added. Foot-and-
mouth disease and bovine spongiform en-
cephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease)
are examples of diseases that need to be
kept out of the USA this way.
Fresh fruits and vegetables may also not be
sent to the U.S. because they can contain
the eggs of voracious pests. The Mediterra-
nean fruit fly is a good example of a bug
that can hide in citrus fruit to beat our de-
fenses.
However, you can ship processed fruit and
vegetable products such as canned fruit,
olive oil, mustard and canned or processed
sauces. There are no restrictions on fish or
mushrooms either, Johnson added. Dried
herbs and spices, tea, roasted coffee, cured
cheeses, cakes, candies, cookies and
roasted nuts are also okay.

and animal products into the United States,

Blazing sun, no sunscreen, leads to not-so-hot skin By Jennifer Walsh Cary,
BMEDDAC Public Affairs
It‘s a Tuesday morning and
I should be working on
several different things at
work, none of which in-
clude obsessing about my
skin.
Too bad that‘s all I can
think about. More specifi-
cally, I‘m thinking about the
heat rash I have on my
arms and the sunburn I
have on my back and legs.
Not exactly the souvenirs I
wanted to bring home from
my weekend trip to Italy.
I admit that part of me ex-
pected the sunburn be-
cause my Irish skin is no
match for the Italian sun,
but heat rash, too? This is
cruel and unusual punishment.
So here I sit, resembling a barnacled lobster, wondering how it all
went wrong.
First, I failed to do the appropriate research before I left the house.
Sure, I brought sunscreen, but it turns out the sun protective factor,
or SPF, was way too low to keep my fair skin from burning. I even
bought a straw hat to wear, but I was already halfway into my trip
before I bought it. However, my favorite mistake by far is that I did-
n‘t think about what I was wearing.
It never occurred to me that the ultraviolet rays were going straight
through my clothes and attacking my skin. Did you know that most
clothes provide less than SPF 15 protection?
I was reading a magazine on the flight back to Germany that said
many clothes only have SPF 6 protection. Figures I would read that
little tidbit as my vacation was ending.
To make matters worse, I
was dripping with sweat for
most of the trip. Not only is
sweating unpleasant in
general, but in a humid
climate it can lead to seri-
ous discomfort. Appar-
ently, sweat can get
trapped under your skin
which leads to the little red
bumps, better known as
heat rash.
Ultimately, all of these fac-
tors led to my current pre-
dicament. Fortunately for
me, it was only one of
many vacations I plan on
taking while in Europe so I
have plenty of time to re-
deem myself. I beefed up
my knowledge about tak-
ing care of my skin and
vowed to do things differ-
ently next time.
I made a promise to my skin that in the future I will bring sunscreen
with an absolute minimum of SPF 15. My goal is to aim for SPF 50,
but my inner Irish woman still longs for a tan. I promised that I will
wear better clothing that‘s breathable like cotton and can wick away
sweat to prevent heat rash. I will wear sunglasses that wrap around
my face and a floppy hat that covers my ears. Finally, I will do my
best to stay out of the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when I‘m
most vulnerable to exposure. I like to think of this as my future mid-
day margarita time. Truth be told, I shouldn‘t wait for my next vaca-
tion to put these preventive measures to good use. Any time I‘m
outside, I should make it a habit of living up to the promise I made
to my skin.
At the end of the day, it doesn‘t matter if the sun you‘re exposed to
is Italian or Bavarian; both can be brutal on your skin.

Control and Prevention website at www.cdc.gov.

Both teams hit hard but made less of an
impact playing defense.
After 50 minutes of close play, the women
were tied at 15 runs. To break the tie, each
team stepped up to the plate. Schweinfurt
players were up to bat first, scoring 6. Bam-
berg player Erin Monaghan crossed the
finish plate for the team to hit 22 and take
the game.
―We‘re usually pretty evenly matched,‖
Monaghan said. ―We‘ve beat them every
time but it‘s always tight.‖
Bamberg lost its second and third games
against Kaiserslautern and Grafenwöhr.
After a morning of running differentials the
teams went head to head. Bamberg was
knocked out early in the single elimination
round, but coach Marie Greenberg is con-
vinced that the practice will only serve the
team to go further in the season champion-
ships.
―We could definitely beat Kaiserslautern in
the future,‖ Greenberg said. ―I saw a lot of
good things from the girls; we just weren‘t
making the hits.‖
At the height of the day, the temperatures
crept higher than 90 degrees.
―It was exhausting,‖ Greenberg said.
The tournaments are meant to provide ex-
posure and practice for league teams. They
allow teams to recognize strengths and
weaknesses while not counting toward sea-
son records.
The women followed Saturday‘s games with
a doubleheader against Stuttgart on Sun-
day.
The doubleheader, which does count to-
ward the season, was a double loss for
Bamberg.
―The second game was a lot closer, we did
field them really well,‖ Greenberg said.
To this season‘s team, which is all new in
terms of playing together, the numbers
aren‘t as important as the steady progress
they‘ve made.
Currently in her fourth season playing for
Bamberg, Greenberg took over coaching
responsibilities when 1st Sgt. Tara
Wheadon moved early in the season.
―I was basically the last one here (from the
previous season) and had the most experi-
ence playing and how the leagues work
here in USAREUR,‖ she said. ―I was really
excited about what we had and the potential
for improvement. Everybody‘s improved in
some way- people have learned to do new
things. Most everyone has been really ac-
cepting to trying a new position.‖
Greenberg first got involved with the team
when her husband, a Soldier with the 173rd
BSB, deployed in 2008.
―It‘s a great thing for spouses to stay active
and keep busy during a deployment,‖ she
said. ―It‘s something they can do for them-
selves.‖
She added that many women don‘t realize
what a great opportunity it is to play in a
military community league.
It‘s really a great thing for people to take
advantage of while stationed overseas, she
said. Though the season will come to an
end in August, Bamberg has a few more
games close to home. The team will play in
Schweinfurt on Aug. 1 and will play at home
against Hohenfels on Aug. 8. Team mem-
bers are hoping that community members
come out to support the games. The Bam-
berg location will be next to Pendleton Field.

representatives to complete the registration process, to evaluate the
Family‘s CYSS needs and to get the child or youth matched up with
available local programs or services.‖
When fully implemented, CYSS patrons relocating from another
garrison will not need to do this online registration.
―Before relocating patrons leave their current duty station, their ex-
isting records are transferred to a central secure location where
they are available for the new duty station to pull down,‖ Shiles said.
―Instead of having to start a CYSS record from scratch, the cus-
tomer only has to update their file with their new address, phone
number, employment data and any other changed information.‖
New CYSS patrons are given a temporary WebTrac login and pass-
word at the time of registration. Current CYSS patrons who have
not yet received a login/password should contact their local CYSS
Parent Central Services office.
WebTrac is being implemented jointly with the Army Recreation
Division, said Shiles. When on the main Bamberg WebTrac page, a
patron may select MWR activities instead of CYS Services. Once
on that page, he or she will be able to do things like sign up for
trips, tours and concert tickets; rent recreational cabins and equip-
ment; or make golf tee times.
―Offerings differ greatly from site to site, depending on the type of
recreational activities available,‖ she said. ―We encourage all Sol-
diers and their Families to go online and check out these new
streamlined services.‖
Guests and non-registered patrons can view available activities at
any participating garrison. Log into https://webtrac.mwr.army.mil/,
select a garrison, click on ―Sign In As A Guest,‖ click ―View Activi-
ties‖ and then search by any desired criteria. Relocating Families
can easily go online and see the kind of programs being offered for
their children at their new duty station.
―WebTrac is a prime example how FMWR is using modern technol-
ogy to tailor business practices to best meet the needs of our val-
ued military customers,‖ Clay said.
For information about Webtrac or to register, log on to https://
(WEBTRAC continued from page 1)
―Through the personality assessment we try
to find out what they are really interested in
and if it fits with their personality,‖ McNeil
said. ―We try to make them more self-
aware.‖
Potential job sites include all of the MWR
facilities, the health clinic or event planning.
Additional sites may also be available.
In addition to working, the participants must
attend weekly workshops where they dis-
cuss topics such as financial management,
character, time management and general
workplace life skills they will need to be
successful, McNeil said.
Every HIRED! participant must sit through a
job interview, she said.
―It is quite an eye-opening experience for
them,‖ she said. ―The more interviews you
do, the better you will get at doing them. I
also tell them if they apply for a job at Bur-
ger King and they go in there and make eye
contact and bring a resume - as a high
school student - that is very impressive.‖
Participants receive a cash award for their
work, depending on how many terms they
have participated in - $500 for one to two
terms; $625 for three to four terms and
$750 for five to six terms.
For Tisha Colon, 15, the apprenticeship
program is not only teaching her job skills
but some life lessons as well.
―I am learning that kids are a lot of work,‖
said Colon, who is working at the Child
Development Center. ―I definitely don‘t want
one anytime soon.‖
The apprenticeship program does not just
benefit the teens, said Brandi Crist, Out-
door Recreation manager.
―I think it is helpful to both the employers
and the employees,‖ she said.
Because her apprentice hasn‘t been in the
workforce long, he brings a new viewpoint
to the table, she said.
―He has a different mindset and so he has
fresh ideas,‖ said Crist, who has seen her
apprentice learn to do things such as
kayak, bicycle maintenance and event plan-
ning.
Crist said the program allows teens to pur-
sue different avenues of work.
―Back in the states they might get a job at
someplace like Sonic because it is an easy
job to get,‖ she said. ―Here they are learn-
ing a trade and broadening their knowl-
edge.‖
Jack Austin, Stable Theater entertainment
director, said his two apprentices are learn-
ing valuable skills that can actually translate
in the workforce.
―They are not only working, but are gaining
some high-level technical skills,‖ Austin
said. ―Now they may go to college with a
better perspective on what the workplace is
like and what to expect.‖
Application deadline for the fall HIRED!
term is Aug. 20. For more information about
the program, contact Shay McNeil at 0951-
300-8345.

rectorate of Public Works
for the great job they have
done in making these im-
provements happen.‖
Rosenberg cited the three
main elements that have
ensured the continued suc-
cess of USAG Bamberg:
the garrison workforce,
volunteer programs and
outstanding support from
the units stationed at War-ner Barracks.
―There is no better work-
force in any garrison in Ger-
many,‖ he said. ―Your hard
work and dedication has
been impressive and un-
equaled. Working with you
has been a pleasure and I
thank you for your loyalty
and support. Our Family
Readiness Groups are the
core of our community sup-
port. Their assistance, es-
pecially during the past
three years of ongoing de-
ployments, has been invaluable…The volunteer spirit is alive and
well in Bamberg and it is crucial to maintaining and improving our
services.
The final element is the outstanding support the garrison receives
from the tenant units, he said. They are willing to help ensure the
right support is provided at the right time, while offering their assis-
tance. This support has been invaluable to the garrison‘s success.
Throughout his three-year term, Rosenberg has seen USAG Bam-
berg through some tumultuous times.
―Our future is still up in the air, we know that, but the one thing we
have as an asset is the incredible talent and commitment of our
workforce and as long as they continue to display that, it will help us continue on,‖ Rosenberg said. ―The workforce specifically makes us
competitive..but that also goes to the Soldiers and units because
we have great cooperation together and people love to be here.‖
As one of the highest-deploying garrisons in Europe, Warner Bar-
racks constantly works to maintain a stable environment in spite of
the ebb and flow of community members.
―At any given time we have approximately 50 percent of our Sol-
diers deployed,‖ he said. ―In fact, we have already deployed and
redeployed every unit on this garrison with the exception of the CID
Battalion though we have deployed some of them as teams and
individuals…It takes a tremendous amount of effort to support these
Soldiers and their Families and I am extremely proud of the great
work that this garrison, the Rear Detachments, the FRSAs, the
FRGs have done in support of these brave Americans.‖
Rosenberg and his family will spend the next year in Garmisch, at
his assignment as a U.S. Army War College Fellow at the Marshall
Center there.
He will miss the role of directly helping and making a positive im-
pact on people‘s lives, as a command position affords, but is look-
ing forward to spending more time with this family.
Many representatives from the local city and county offices at-
t e n d e d t h e e v e n t .
Rosenberg has been recog-
nized as an active commu-
nity member since his arri-
val, regularly attending Ger-
man events and partaking
in local customs and tradi-
tions.
―We could not have asked
for better cooperation and a
more true and faithful
friendship as we have
found here in Bamberg,‖ he
said. ―I can‘t thank you
enough for your support and your loyalty towards us,
the U.S. Army. What I have
seen here I have witnessed
no place else: true partner-
ship and friendship be-
tween Warner Barracks, the
city and the county of Bam-
berg.
Be assured that we will be
back in Bamberg to see the
many great friends we have
met during our time here.
And though Garmisch is a
beautiful place, it does not
have what we have found
here: a home. Thank you to all the great Bamberg citizens who
have welcomed us with open arms.‖
While Rosenberg ended his speech with ―Auf Wiedersehen,‖ Morris
began his by saying ―Wir lieben Bamberg,‖ or ―We love Bamberg‖ in
English.
―Johanna and I are honored and humbled to be here in Germany
and be a part of this great community and the wonderful people
who live here both on- and off-post,‖ Morris said.
Morris extended a special thank you to the city and county of Bam-
berg and to the district of Upper Franconia for their continued out-
standing support.
―I look forward to continuing this great partnership between our two
nations and our communities as we forge the next chapter to-
gether,‖ he said.
He then addressed the Rosenberg and Carol, thanking them for
their warmth and efforts to ensure he and his wife had a ―smooth
and seamless‖ transition.
He then promised community members three things.
First, he promised to earn the respect and confidence of residents
each and every day and to always give the community 100 percent
and to treat each member with the highest dignity and respect. Sec-
ond, he promised to place the welfare of the Bamberg Community
first and foremost always. Third, he promised to never let the com-
munity down.
―We will accomplish each mission as a proud member of a Team of
Teams, which encompasses our military community on Warner
Barracks as well as the host nation community that warmly sur-
rounds us. I look forward to our journey together and all of its chal-
lenges as we head into the future.‖
The change of command was followed by a welcome reception at
the Warner Conference Center, where employees were offered the
chance to meet Morris and his wife Johanna in a social setting.

Recycling Tips
1. Stuff old newspaper in wet shoes overnight to
dry and deodorize.
2. Crumpled up aluminum foil is ideal for scouring
pots and pans.
3. Old glasses can be given to opticians to be
donated to people around the world. Or check the
internet for a place to donate them.
Energy-saving Tips
1. Check the rubber seal in the door of the refrig-
erator: test it by closing the door over a piece of
paper or a dollar bill so it is half in and half out of
the refrigerator. If you can pull the paper or bill
out easily, the latch may need adjustment, the
seal may need replacing, or you might consider
buying a new unit.
2. 450 F temperature is recommended for the
refrigerator, 00F for the freezer. Use the right
temperature!
3. Take short showers instead of baths.
tage… Until now.‖
The task force crafted a way to fire non-
exploding training rounds in the adjustment
phase, and switching to a lethal one in the
fire for effect phase; fewer live rounds are
fired. The less lethal training round is the
M804A1, also known as the ―smurf‖ round
due to its blue color. It‗s a ballistic match for
a live high explosive artillery round, mean-
ing the round will have the same effects
while in flight from the tube to the target.
The difference is in the impact effects.
Woods said ―173 ABCT gives up nothing in
terms of effectiveness; the fire for effect
round is exactly where it would be had we
fired all explosive artillery rounds.
―This new approach that we are using here
is more sensitive to the environmental im-
pact issues along with the cultural issues
that affect Afghanistan citizens,‖ he said.
Woods said he identifies Afghanistan as an
agrarian society. When high explosives are
used, they contaminate the soil, Woods
said. When TNT, RDX, and HMX erode into
the fields, crop yields can be harmed, so
using less high explosive rounds is good for
Afghanistan‗s long-term future, as well as
posing a far less likelihood for collateral
damage.
―The 173rd ABCT is aware how collateral
damage separates us from the people,‖ he
said. ―Since the people are the real objec-
tive, within a counterinsurgency war, our
ability to increase public safety is the moral
choice and the strategic choice that best
delivers our vision and ROE directives. This
technique allows us to pursue the enemy
despite his use of human shields. We can
fire closer to protected structures with less
potential for collateral damage.
―No one told these Sky Soldiers how to
avoid collateral damage or civilian casual-
ties, but rather than think inside the box and
apply conventional thinking, which typically
sees units restrict one of our advantages,
our fire power, we opted to tailor our effects
and deliver focused lethality,‖ said Woods.
―So within our Rules Of Engagement, we
can still pursue the enemy, as well as ne-
gate his avoidance strategy. Instead of com-
plaining about the rules of engagement; we
adopted our effects to meet the ROE, devel-
oping a morally supportable alternative. This
technique also meets one of our brigade
commander‗s counterinsurgency (COIN)
directives; ‗fight the enemy‗s strategy not his
force‘. We have brought artillery back into
the fight with ‗tailored effects‗ so now, more
tools are available to commanders. Adapt-
ing artillery‗s affects supports the COIN
fight.
―There aren‗t many armies that would go to
this extent to increase public safety and
reduce collateral damage like the 173rd
Airborne is doing day in and day out,‖ he
said.
Every 155 mm M777A2 cannon crew in the
battalion has the ―smurf‖ round on location.
―This is not courageous restraint,‖ Woods
said. ―They are firing 98-pound artillery
rounds at people who want to kill them. Our
Paratroopers choose to adjust fire with less
lethal rounds to protect the citizens. The
enemy‗s efforts are routinely aimed at creat-
ing more civilian casualties. That is key for
the people of Afghanistan to understand.
I‗ve been a big advocate of this technique
sense the 90s. It reduces the potential for
unwanted damage; increases public safety,
and provides a more morally acceptable fire
support option,‖ Woods said.
A TF King Soldier commented from Sayed
Abad, ―when the blue training round arrived
on location, I asked why they are issuing us
less lethal rounds. After learning their pur-
pose in reducing collateral damage, I then
asked why we haven‗t been doing this for
the last nine years?‖
