LANGLEY AIRMAN GRADUATES ARMY RANGER COURSE by Airman 1st Class Derek Seifert 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Ensuring Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, remains safe is the main responsibility of the 633rd Security Forces Squadron. To accomplish their mission, SFS personnel patrol the installation every day of the year at all hours. For U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Maxwell Martin, reaction force leader assigned to the 633rd SFS, training ensures he and his team are prepared to handle any situation that comes their way. In November, Martin attended the Army’s most prestigious and challenging leadership course, Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia, to further his knowledge and become a more effective member of his team. “The whole goal [of attending Ranger School] was to get the tab, but that’s everyone’s goal,” said Martin. “However, I learned a lot about myself, leadership and that I can deal with the terrible situations and do just fine.” Ranger School consists of three phases that are designed to test each individual in all leadership positions, as well as mentally and physical-

ly challenge them. Phase 1 is referred to as the Crawl (Darby) Phase and lasts for 20 days. During this period, candidates develop the physical and mental skills necessary to complete combat missions and the remainder of Ranger School. At the beginning of Crawl Phase, Martin was one of a small group of personnel from other services. In addition to Martin, there was a Naval Officer and a few Tactical Air Control Party Airmen, he said. Phase 2, or the Walk (Mountain) Phase, goes on for 21 days where potential Ranger School graduates will receive instruction on military mountaineering as well as the necessary techniques for employing squads and platoons for continuous combat patrol operations. Each member will also have the opportunity to command and control a platoon-sized patrol through planning, preparing and executing a variety of missions. “The course piled on the stress and the wear and tear on the body,” explained Martin. “The field training exercises allotted maybe an hour or two of sleep with only one or two meals ready-toeat a day. After a while it builds up.” Phase 3, or the Run (Swamp) Phase, spans the

last 18 days. In this portion of the training, candidates exhibit the ability to operate effectively under extreme mental and physical stress. Run Phase develops the future Ranger graduates in leading small units on airborne, air assault, small boat, ship-to-shore and dismounted combat patrol operations in a swamp environment. “Ranger School is a bittersweet thing,” said Martin. “It’s bitter while you’re there doing it because [it’s difficult] but it’s sweet because it’s one of the most humbling experiences I’ve ever gone through.” Attending tough courses like Ranger School brings its candidates closer together and they form a strong bond, he said. “It helps build a relationship with the other branches and we will better understand how they operate,” said Martin. “It builds wisdom and helps them learn about the Air Force while we learn about the Army. The Army provides a lot of great schools that the other branches don’t.” After graduating Ranger School in March, Martin returned to Langley where he rejoined the ranks of Security Forces personnel and applies his newly acquired skills and knowledge to impact the mission.

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

As a U.S. Army salvage diver peers around his work station, he sees nothing but occasional beams of light dancing through the darkness that engulfs him. Temporarily blinded, everything he does is by feel, from shuffling his feet as he walks to find his job site to waving his hand across a structure to find a bolt to wrench. He prefers it this way. It masks the reality that what bumped the diver’s leg at 120 feet below sea level could have been a shark. “I would much rather be in complete darkness ... I don’t want to see what’s down there,” said Staff Sgt. Scott Wilson, adding that he closes his eyes regardless of the visibility in the water because he has become accustomed to working without the distractions sight brings. As a salvage diver with the 569th Engineer Dive Detachment out of Fort Eustis, Virginia, Wilson and his crew work as underwater engineers who survey, demolish, repair and restore underwater structures and systems including boats, bridges and dams. When the divers use sight, it’s not to view the colorful coral reef and tropical fish, but to conduct reconnaissance security swims during which they scan the ocean for improvised explosive devices before military ships sail through.

Detachments like this have not only kept the Army and U.S. Navy afloat and safe in operations dating back to the bombing of Pearl Harbor in WWII, but they aided humanitarian efforts such as the rehabilitation of the Port Au Prince Pier in Haiti, after it was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in 2010. As the divers support U.S. and coalition partners by repairing equipment like piers, and turbines that supply power to communities, they also support stateside emergencies like Hurricane Sandy, during which the detachment pumped water out of New York City residents’ basements and subway stations. “If it’s dirty, nasty and nobody else wants to do it, we’ll go in and fix it,” said Wilson of working in rivers filled with dead fish and water with temperatures so low that divers lose feeling in their hands. “You power through the cold,” said fellow 569th Engineer Dive Det salvage diver, Kiley Bannan. “We were in [an undisclosed location] and we were freezing one day. I had to come up because I couldn’t hold the tool I was using. I had no dexterity or muscular strength in my hand, so I gripped the tool and told my stand-by diver to tape the tool to my hand. You don’t want to be the guy who got out of the water and didn’t finish his job because it was too cold.” While battling dead fish and negative temperatures for hours on end could be more than enough to steer someone into another career, Bannan and Wilson couldn’t picture themselves doing anything else. SEE DIVERS PAGE 5

JUNE 3, 2016

DIVERS FROM PAGE 4 After all, training to become a diver included exercises more grueling than dealing with dead fish. “Training would involve everything you could imagine... Carrying boats around post and then swimming with the boats a half mile. Then, getting back out of the water and carrying them another half mile, dropping them and going for a run was day in and day out the entire time,” said Bannan. “It’s a mental game of taking it one day at a time.” For Bannan, the now the 12-to-18-hour days of lugging no less than 90 pounds of equipment up and down hills to get to the detachment’s dive locations still requires taking jobs one day at a time, and understanding the importance of their duties in a broad scope. “A lot of units train while they’re here in the states, but we actually get to practice our craft and do our job helping the U.S. here at home,” said Bannan. “Being able to be part of something here helping people is totally worth it; we may be freezing the entire time but it’s totally worth it.”

AF RELEASES AIR SUPERIORITY 2030 FLIGHT PLAN News Release SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCE PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMAND INFORMATION

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The Air Force released a flight plan directing development activity as a result of a yearlong study focused on developing capability options to ensure joint force air superiority in 2030 and beyond. According to the unclassified version of the Air Superiority 2030 Flight Plan, released May 26, the gap between the U.S. military’s air superiority capabilities and potential adversaries’ means, as it currently stands, the Air Force’s projected force structure in 2030 may not be capable of fighting and winning against those adversary capabilities. In order to counter emerging threats, air superiority must be viewed as a condition the Air Force sets to enable joint forces to accomplish mission objectives, and not as an end in and of itself. Providing the capabilities to do this will require multi-domain solutions developed through a more agile acquisition process. “After 25 years of being the only great power out there, we’re returning to a world of great power competition,” said Lt. Gen. Mike Holmes, the Air Force deputy chief of staff for strategic plans and requirements. “We need to develop coordinated solutions that bring air, space, cyber, the electronic environment and surface capabilities together to solve our problems.” The flight plan, put together by an enterprise capability collaboration team composed of Air Force operators, acquirers and analysts, says that to achieve air superiority in 2030 and beyond, the Air Force needs to develop a family of capabilities that operate in and across the air, space and cyberspace domains, including both stand-off and stand-in forces. The speed of capability development and fielding will be crucial to retaining the U.S. advantage. The service can no longer afford to develop weapon systems on acquisition and development timelines using traditional approaches. According to the ECCT, air superiority capability development requires adaptable, affordable

and agile processes with increasing collaboration between science and technology, acquisition, requirements and industry professionals. “There’s no silver bullet,” said Col. Alexus Grynkewich, the Air Superiority 2030 ECCT lead. “We have to match tech cycles -- some of them are really long. Engines take a long time to make, but information age tech cycles are fast. Software updates are constantly moving. So how do you move from pacing yourself off industrial age mindsets to information age mindsets?” The answer, Grynkewich said, is parallel development of maturing technologies for sensors, missions systems, lethality and non-kinetic effects, on appropriate time cycles, of an integrated and networked family of capabilities. The next step is to pull technologies out of each of those parallel efforts when they are ready and developing prototypes, experimenting and gaining more knowledge to determine if the developments are what’s needed in the field. “What the flight plan lays out is a series of capability development needs, as well as initiatives to prototype and experiment with a number of concepts,” Grynkewich said. “You can start building and then move forward if experimental capabilities are determined to make enough of a difference in highly contested environments of the future.” In order to achieve air superiority in 2030 and beyond, bringing agility to multi-domain acquisition is crucial. “We've talked about acquisition agility a number of times in terms of, ‘How do we save money’ and not wasting taxpayer dollars is absolutely important,” Grynkewich said. “But there's an operational imperative that says we have to do this faster, and if we don't we're at a risk of failing as an Air Force and a joint force.” Air Superiority 2030 is the first enterprise capability collaboration team to release its flight plan. The ECCTs examine, comprehend and quantify operational needs, including current and emerging capability gaps that span the Air Force enterprise. Future topics will likely cover other core Air Force mission areas.

AIR FORCE TRAILBLAZER RETURNS TO RAMSTEIN AFTER 54 YEARS By 1st Lt. Clay Lancaster 86TH AIRLIFT WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AFNS) -- It doesn’t happen often but occasionally Airmen get the opportunity to meet an Airman who, in 1947, was there when the Air Force ďŹ rst stood on its own -those trailblazers who laid the ďŹ rst bricks of airpower on the long blue line. Retired Chief Master Sgt. Kenneth Andrews, who served at Ramstein Air Base from 1959 to 1962, started his 30-year Air Force career in 1947. He recently took advantage of the opportunity to come back to Europe to visit family and a familiar sight -- the air trafďŹ c control tower. “What an eye opener this has been to see what’s happened in the last 50 years,â€? Andrews said. “If someone were to blindfold me and set me down here I would not recognize this place as Ramstein; it’s changed that much.â€? The former air trafďŹ c controller had

the opportunity to serve in several combat roles including in Vietnam. His stories were told as if they happened yesterday; the details still clear to him. “Vietnam was a different situation. We would have maybe 50 airplanes taxiing out for departure and coming in at one time,â€? Andrews said. “As one aircraft was taking off, the other was taxiing right behind it. Every morning it looked like the whole airport was headed out to the runway. I would go into meetings and tell them we were violating every rule in the book ‌ it was the only way to make the operation work and have that many airplanes out there.â€? Andrews and his grandson, Lt. Col. Michael Andrews, toured the tower and met other controllers, including Airman 1st Class Paige Goulette, who was testing for her Air TrafďŹ c Control 5-level upgrade training that day. She stuck close to the side of the retired chief, hanging on to every word of every story he told during

his visit. “When we were briefed (Andrews) worked here from ‘59-‘62 we were all so excited up here in the tower. I think it’s extremely humbling to listen to someone talk about the area you work and the way things were more than 50 years ago,â€? Goulette said. “I think the moment he told us he was here when the Berlin Wall was being built really made us realize how different the world was back when he was controlling trafďŹ c.â€? The equipment Andrews was working with as a controller was far different than the equipment being used today. The stories he shared with Goulette and others showed just how far avionics and other advances in the air trafďŹ c controlling realm have come. “After hearing the equipment he worked with it really made us take a step back,â€? Goulette said. “I don't ever think we can understand how hard this job was when he worked as a controller, but we can try

to imagine and we all have the utmost respect for him and all that he's done.� As Andrews departed the tower he shook the hands of every tower controller and thanked them for all they continue to do for the Air Force. “I would do it all over again tomorrow,� said Andrews, as he made his way toward the door.

sion, consider postponing travel until after delivery. If you are pregnant and traveled to an area with ongoing Zika virus transmission, your provider can arrange for testing to see if you were infected, even if you never experienced symptoms. If you are not yet pregnant, there is no evidence that Zika infection prior to conception poses a risk for any future pregnancies.

ARMY MEDICINE

What is it, where is it and how is it spread? Zika is a mosquito-borne virus closely related to yellow fever, dengue, and West Nile viruses. A Zika virus outbreak was identiďŹ ed in Brazil in early 2015; since then, it has spread to more than twenty-ďŹ ve other countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Level 2 Travel Alert (Practice Enhanced Precautions) for areas where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. This includes the recommendation that women who are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant, consider postponing travel to any area where Zika virus transmission is ongoing.

If you think you've been infected, what should you do? If you think you may be infected, see your primary care provider immediately. If you have recently traveled abroad, tell your healthcare provider when and where you traveled. Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to look for Zika or other similar viruses like dengue or chikungunya.

What are the symptoms? â&#x20AC;˘ About 1 in 5 people infected with Zika virus become ill (i.e., develop Zika). â&#x20AC;˘ The most common symptoms of Zika are fever, rash, joint pain, or conjunctivitis (red eyes). Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) for Zika virus disease is not known, but is likely to be a few days to a week. â&#x20AC;˘ The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week. â&#x20AC;˘ Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for a few days but it can be found longer in some people. â&#x20AC;˘ Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon. â&#x20AC;˘ Deaths are rare

Prevention - what can I do to prevent catching it? The best way to prevent diseases spread by mosquitoes is to avoid being bitten. There is currently no vaccine for Zika. Mosquitoes that spread Zika virus bite mostly during the daytime and prefer to bite people, and live indoors and outdoors near humans. The best prevention is to minimize standing water in items like buckets, bowls, animal dishes, ďŹ&#x201A;ower pots and vases.

What if I am pregnant or want to become pregnant? If you are pregnant and plan to travel to an area with ongoing Zika virus transmis-

See the full infographic at peninsulawarrior.com! >> Treatment â&#x20AC;˘ There is no current vaccine available to prevent Zika infections. â&#x20AC;˘ There is no specific treatment for Zika infections; instead, treat the symptoms. â&#x20AC;˘ Your healthcare provider will recommend supportive treatment such as rest and rehydration. â&#x20AC;˘ If you have Zika, prevent mosquito bites for the ďŹ rst week of your illness. â&#x20AC;˘ During the first week of infection, Zika virus can be found in the blood and passed from an infected person to another mosquito through mosquito bites. â&#x20AC;˘ An infected mosquito can then spread the virus to other people.

What are the Army and DoD doing? Department of Defense (DoD) labs are enhancing techniques to test mosquitoes for Zika. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) is offering voluntary relocation out of affected areas to all pregnant DoD employees and beneďŹ ciaries, and all Army medical facilities have been notiďŹ ed of the concerns surrounding Zika infections and are prepared to assist patients who may have been infected. The Armed Forces Pest Management Board recommends wear of permethrin-treated uniforms/ clothing, use of approved insect repellent, and removal of standing water that may serve as mosquito breeding sites to prevent bites.

DoD ramps up training on Blended Retirement System By Karen Parrish DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

The Defense Department’s new retirement system will affect some 2.2 million people who all need to get smart on what it will mean. Two subject-matter experts from the department’s personnel and readiness branch described the issues involved to DoD News: Army Sgt. Maj. Luther Thomas Jr., senior enlisted advisor to the Defense Department’s Manpower and Reserve Affairs Division, and Wayne Boswell, DoD’s director of financial readiness. Thomas described the four-phase overall training program planned for the Blended Retirement System, or BRS, as “a very comprehensive financial education strategy.” The leader training module will be available starting today, June 1, on the Joint Knowledge Online portal and the MilitaryOneSource website, and on DVD at deployed, shipboard and other remote locations. Thomas, who has reviewed the module, said he’s impressed with the tools available in the training. “I’m going to have service members whose situations are all different. … I can go up online to JKO, click ‘launch the class,’ and then look in the glossary and get the specific information I need to be able to talk to my service member one on one,” he said. Thomas said that while leaders are required to take the first round of training, it’s also available to those who aren’t yet in leadership roles. Boswell noted that the online availability also will help family members learn about the new retirement system. “We know a lot of these decisions will be made around the dinner table, with families’ input in terms of the impact of lifelong financial decisions,” he said. The training is designed to inform leaders about BRS “to be able to translate this for their members,” Boswell said.

Modules and Milestones The learning strategy for BRS includes four separate modules: ■ Leader training starts June 1; ■ Training for installation and command financial counselors rolls out in the fall; ■ Opt-in training for current service members begins in January 2017; and ■ Service members who join after January 2018 will receive training during their first months of service. Everyone serving as of December 31, 2017 will be grandfathered under the current retirement system. Service members who have served fewer than 12 years on active duty or accrued fewer than 4,320 retirement points in the reserve component will have the option of re-

maining covered under their current retirement system or enrolling in BRS. Those with greater than 12 years on active duty or more than 4,320 retirement points in the reserve component will stay under their current system. Both men emphasized that while training will happen at all levels, the decision on whether to opt in belongs to the individual. Leaders will be informers of -- not advocates for -- the new system, they said. Service members who join on or after Jan. 1, 2018, will automatically be enrolled in BRS. Members eligible to opt in to BRS will have until Dec. 31, 2018, to decide if they want to switch to the new plan.

of what they contribute each month. BRS also includes a mid-career continuation pay at about 12 years of service, as a further incentive to continue serving toward the traditional 20 years to qualify for monthly military retired pay. Congress enacted BRS following upon the recommendations of the congressionally-mandated Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission, Boswell said, adding that the commission heard from “a vast swath” of stakeholders and subject-matter experts who “are very interested in the military and are connected to the military” when making this recommendation.

More Benefit for More Troops

Taking Part of My Pay?

“Under the current system only about 19 percent of service members actually leave with some type of retirement benefit, and 81 percent of service members don’t,” Thomas said. “We believe under this new system, about 85 percent of those who serve, if they serve two years or longer, will be able to leave with some type of portable retirement benefit that they can take with them to a future employer.” The “blending” in BRS comes from the combination of the Thrift Savings Plan and an annuity provision for those who retire after 20 or more years. BRS will use the annuity formula currently in place: the average of the service member’s highest 36 months of basic pay times 2.5 percent of his or her years of service -- but the 2.5 percent is adjusted downward by half of a percentage point, from 2.5 to 2 percent. The Thrift Savings Plan is currently offered to service members without government contributions, but under BRS several changes take place. After their first 60 days in the service, all members will be enrolled in TSP and receive an automatic government contribution of 1 percent of basic pay into their account each month. Additionally, the Service member will be automatically enrolled with a 3 percent contribution from their own pay. After two years of service, the government will match the member’s contributions up to an additional 4 percent. In total, members can get up to a 5 percent government contribution on top

So while those in BRS may see part of their pay deducted for TSP contribution, Thomas said, “what’s happening is they’re going to have to help contribute to their retirement, just like in the civilian world. … It’s still the service member’s money.” The new system offers the potential for a greater retirement income than the current system for “disciplined savers,” Thomas noted, adding that with DoD’s 1 percent contribution plus matching contributions, members who contribute from their own pay, even in amounts as small as the cost of a pizza or movie each week, could end their careers with potentially sizable savings for retirement. And those who don’t retire won’t walk away with empty pockets. “When they go into a new job in the private sector or public sector at [age] 24, 25, 26, they don’t start with zero,” Thomas said. “They start with the retirement savings they accumulated [starting] 60 days after they joined the military.” Boswell said the new system will add to the benefits of military service. “I think lifelong success comes from self-investment and self-preparation,” he said. “I think service members who leave after four years leave with a lot: they leave with skills, experience, [and] education. They’ve had their mettle tested to some degree.” With BRS, those leaving service will have skills, education and financial resources, he said.

ARLINGTON — It is peaceful at Arlington National Cemetery with impeccably cared-for grounds and row after row of headstones seeming to march down to the Potomac. It is a shrine that Americans visit each day to see and touch and be moved -- by the precise steps of the sentry at the Tomb of the Unknowns or the sight of a horse-drawn caisson taking another fallen service member to rest. For many, the area known as Section 60 is the most poignant, if only because it is the most recent. Many killed in Iraq and Afghanistan have their final resting place there. On Memorial Day, many of those graves have flowers or drawings or stones placed atop them. Section 60 is where President Barack Obama came to mark his final Memorial Day as commander in chief. He placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns and addressed several thousand people in the Memorial Amphitheater.

Most Solemn Obligation Obama said that he has no more solemn obligation than the decision to send service members into harm’s way. “I think about this every time I approve an operation as president -- every time, as a husband and father, that I sign a condolence letter, every time Michelle and I sit at the bedside of a wounded warrior or grieve and hug members of a Gold Star family,” he said. He noted that less than 1 percent of Americans wear the uniform. “And so few Americans see this patriotism with their own eyes or know someone who exemplifies it, but every day there are American families who pray for the sound of a familiar voice when the phone rings or the sound of a loved one's letter or email arriving,” he said. “More than one million times in our history, it didn't come. And instead, a car pulled up to the house, and there was a knock on the front door, and the sound of 'Taps' floated through a cemetery’s trees.”

President Barack Obama, right, Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, render honors during a wreathlaying ceremony to mark Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., May 30, 2016.

It is every American’s responsibility to not forget these heroes, Obama said, and it must be done by actions, not just by words. He mentioned the presence of more than 350 participants in the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors in the audience. “For truly remembering and truly honoring these fallen Americans means being there for their parents and their spouses and their children,” he said.

Keeping Stories Alive Americans must remember the fallen and they must hear their stories, the president said. “My fellow Americans, today and every day listen to the stories these Gold Star families and veterans have to tell,” he said. “Ask about who he or she was, why they volunteered. Hear from those who loved them about what their smile looked like and their laugh sounded like and the dreams they had for their lives.” In the past year, more than 20 Americans have given their lives in Afghanistan. In the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, “three Americans have given their lives in combat on our behalf, and today I ask you to remember their stories as well,” he said. The president spoke movingly about Navy Chief Petty Officer Charles Keating IV, Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Louis Cardin and Army Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, the three service members lost in the fight against ISIL. “Our nation reveals itself not only by the people it produces, but by those it remembers,” Obama said. “We do so not just by hoisting a flag, but by lifting up our neighbors, not just by pausing in silence, but by practicing in our own lives the ideals of opportunity and liberty and equality that they fought for. We can serve others and contribute to the causes they believed in, and above all, keep their stories alive so that, one day, when he grows up and thinks of his dad, an American like David Wheeler can tell them as well the stories of the lives others gave for all of us.”

Changes to retention control points providing increased promotion opportunity for mid-grade Soldiers By C. Todd Lopez ARMY NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON -- Sergeants first class seeking another stripe saw increased opportunity during the fiscal year 2016 master sergeant promotion board, as the selection rate jumped 35 percent, from 8.4 in FY15, to 11.8 in FY16. Those increased opportunities to serve come as a result of projected openings in the master sergeant ranks that will come as a result of changes to retention control points for sergeants first class, master sergeants and sergeants major, that were announced, May 26, in Army Directive 2016-19. According Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey, the changes to RCPs are part of an effort to right-size the Army for the current mission, reduce the need for forced separations, and create increased opportunities for promotion. Similar increases in selection rate to sergeant first class are also expected during the 2016 board. Last year’s board selected about 25.4 percent of the staff sergeants considered. Beginning Oct. 1, some senior enlisted Soldiers will find they have a new “expiration, term of service,” or ETS, as a result of changes to their retention control points. Those changes roll back RCPs for sergeants first class and above who are in the Regular Army, or who are serving under the Active Guard Reserve program. The changes will shorten RCPs

by two to three years, and will help reduce the total size of the Army, in keeping with congressional mandates to do so; shape the NCO promotion system and NCO Corps; and help ensure upward mobility for mid-grade NCOs. An RCP indicates the number of years of time in service a Soldier may not exceed for the grade they serve in. For instance, the RCP for a sergeant is 14 years. Sergeants must either leave the Army at 14 years, or get promoted to staff sergeant. The RCP for staff sergeants is 20 years. At 20 years, a staff sergeant must either retire, or get promoted to sergeant first class in order to continue to serve. For sergeants first class, including those who are promotable, their RCP will change from 26 to 24 years. For first sergeants and master sergeants, their RCP will be reduced from 29 to 26 years. For first sergeants and master sergeants who are promotable (upon graduation from United States Army Sergeants Major Academy), their RCP will drop from 32 to 30 years. And finally, for command sergeants major and sergeants major, their RCP will

also drop from 32 to 30 years. The changes to RCPs will be applied incrementally to those affected over the course of three years, ensuring every Soldier affected will have at least a year’s notice to plan with their family for their retirement. The first retirements due to the RCP changes will start to take place in October 2017. Most Soldiers will have well over a year to prepare. Additionally, every Soldier affected is already retirement-eligible, has more than 20 years of service under the belt, and will be able to take advantage of a full military retirement. “This is the best course of action to right-size the Army with regards to a readiness perspective for the future,” said Dailey. “It’s the right thing to do. This is not a small decision. It was eight months of running numbers, projections and outcomes.” It’s expected that approximately 3,000 NCOs will leave the Army earlier than anticipated due to the RCP changes, said Sgt. Maj. LeeAnn M. Conner, Senior Army Career Counselor.

Growing, shrinking, upward mobility Dailey said, back in 2007 the Army needed to grow in size in order to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We were at war, and the Army needed to get bigger, quick, and build more brigades and battalions,” he said. The Army used recruiting and retention tools to help grow the Army. Another tool they used was to increase the RCPs for senior enlisted personnel. Now that the conflicts in the Middle East have drawn down significantly, and the Army has been told to shrink its force size, the Army is reversing the tools it used almost a decade ago to grow in size, Dailey said. “Now we are in the inverse,” he said. “We were directed to make the Army smaller, historically consistent with every post-war era.” Dailey said the Army is “focused on doing a talent-based drawdown.” The changes to RCPs are part of that drawdown.

RETENTION FROM PAGE 14 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to keep those with the beneďŹ ts of the wartime experience they gained for the last 10 to 12 years of war, and we wanted to make sure we transitioned our Soldiers appropriately,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Army also wants to â&#x20AC;&#x153;maintain the skills we needed in an Army that was going to get smaller, and doing it appropriately in regards to mitigating the risk against the Soldier, the family and readiness.â&#x20AC;? What Dailey said the Army hopes to achieve by putting the RCPs for senior enlisted back to where they were in 2006-2008, is to maintain upward mobility for Soldiers in the middle NCO ranks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have got to create upward mobility,â&#x20AC;? he said of opportunities for mid-grade NCOs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are highly-qualiďŹ ed, very motivated individuals, they are aggressive seekers of further responsibility. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what we trained them to be. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide that opportunity, there is a risk you could lose talent.â&#x20AC;? Dailey said Army number crunching reveals that these most recent changes to RCPs will result in increased opportunities for mid-level NCOs.

EVERY MORNING MY HUMAN SHAVES OFF HIS FACE FUR, HEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FUNNY LIKE THAT. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;TUCK adopted 05-04-11

No cliff The new RCPs will require as many as 3,000 NCOs to leave the Army earlier than they expected, but they will not all leave at the same time. Instead, the Army will stagger the adjustment of their RCPs over a period of about three years. All of those NCOs will be able to retire with at least 20 years of service, but most will retire with more than that, Conner said. While for many NCOs, a new ETS will be a surprise for them, every Soldier affected will have more than a year to plan their retirement. For instance, for sergeants ďŹ rst class and promotable sergeants ďŹ rst class, the implementation of RCPs will be staggered in this fashion: â&#x2013; Beginning Oct. 1, 2016, for SFC and SFC(P) who enlisted Oct. 1, 1992 or earlier, their RCP will be reset to 26 years. â&#x2013; Beginning Oct 1, 2016, for SFC and SFC(P) who enlisted between Oct. 2,1992 and Apr. 1, 1994, their RCP will be reset to 25 years. â&#x2013; Beginning Oct 1, 2016, for SFC and SFC(P) who enlisted Apr. 2,1994 and after, their RCP will be reset to 24 years. A similar staggering of RCP implementation will happen for master sergeants, command sergeants major and sergeants major so that they too will have plenty of time to plan their retirements.

Nominative positions, exceptions For the senior-most NCOs in the Army, the sergeants major, their RCPs will be moved from 32 years down to 30. But those sergeants major will be offered the opportunity to serve longer -- provided they are at Headquarters Department of the Army or Army command level, in a nominative position, and are rated by a general ofďŹ cer, member of the senior executive service, or equivalent.

-81(

A sergeant major who is serving as the command sergeant major at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy, for instance, or as executive ofďŹ cer to the Sergeant Major of the Army, will also be authorized to serve beyond 30 years. But once they leave those positions, they will need to go to similar jobs if they want to continue to serve beyond 30 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a sergeant major is past 30, they have to keep competing for a nominative positon,â&#x20AC;? Conner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are not selected for another one of those positons, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for them to retire. It ďŹ ts the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promotion modeling system.â&#x20AC;? Other NCOs will also get exceptions to the new RCP policy as well, based on if their command requests an exception to policy, and if the request meets the needs of the Army. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect to approve some justiďŹ ed exceptions to policy in the ďŹ rst three years,â&#x20AC;? Conner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will publish a message that addresses exceptions for reasons such as assignment service obligations and promotions service obligations. For example, if a sergeant ďŹ rst class is on assignment to Germany for a three-year tour, with this change that Soldier may only be able to go for two years and some change. Human Resources Command will have to decide if they want to give an exception to policy for the assignment, an exception of policy for the RCP, or delete the assignment.â&#x20AC;?
