JTF-CS deploys to Atterbury for major ďŹ eld training exercise From JTF-CS Public Affairs Personnel from Joint Task Force Civil Support deployed to Camp Atterbury, Ind. Aug. 10 to begin participation in a major joint ďŹ eld training exercise, Vibrant Response 13-2. Approximately 3,500 Service members and civilians from the military, federal and state agencies, and various units from approximately 27 states and territories are participating in the exercise, projected to last until Aug. 17. This multi-service, multi-agency exercise will evaluate the ability of JTF-CS and other Department of Defense entities to respond to a complex catastrophic event in a major metropolitan city involving a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) response incident. During VR 13-2, JTF-CS will be evaluated on the ability to effectively command and control the subordi-
nate forces of the Defense CBRN Response Force (DCRF) on its six core functions: mission command, identiďŹ cation and detection of CBRN damage, technical and non-technical search and extraction of casualties, mass casualty and non-casualty decontamination, medical triage and stabilization, and medical and nonmedical air and ground evacuation. This exercise is conducted annually by U.S. Northern Command and led by U.S. Army North to test federal response force ability to meet the expectations of the American people, and will feature realistic environments, ďŹ re and smoke effects, mannequins and civilian role-players to simulate a demanding nuclear disaster environment. Vibrant Response 13-2 is the largest DOD conďŹ rmation exercise for specialized response forces to validate their capability to execute mission command, perform technical tasks in CBRN and conduct other life-saving missions.

Imagine bowling a perfect game at the Langley Lanes bowling center or reaching the green on a par-4 hole at the Eaglewood Golf Course, but at a discounted price. The PLAYpass program is offered by the 633rd Force Support Squadron, allowing single Airmen returning from deployments and families of deployed Airmen to participate in activities such as trips, sports and other recreational activities on Langley Air Force Base at a reduced cost or free of charge. Eligible families are issued two PLAYpass cards, each valued at $500, allowing the family to utilize morale, welfare and recreation-focused social, ďŹ tness and learning programs on Langley. “Costs and additional fees can be a major frustration, forcing Airmen
and families to be more conscious of their spending decisions,â€? said Sheila Robinson, Airman and Family Services ight chief. “PLAYpass offers Airmen and their families the opportunity to enjoy the beneďŹ ts of MWR activities at no or minimal cost.â€? For families to be eligible for the card, the Service member must be on ofďŹ cial orders for deployment, temporary duty assignment lasting more than 30 days or a 365-day dependentrestricted permanent change of station. The ďŹ rst card is issued when the Service member is deployed, or on dependent-restricted assignment. The card may be used until 90 days prior to the member returning to home station. The second card is issued upon completion of the mission and valid for 90 days after. To pick up the PLAYpass card, families should visit the Airman and Family Readiness Center and pres-

ent a Department of Defense identiďŹ cation card matching the sponsor’s or single Airman’s name. “It’s just come in, get the card and go utilize it,â€? said Master Sgt. Flerida Taylor, 633rd Force Support Squadron readiness noncommissioned ofďŹ cer in charge. For single Airmen, the coupon values are the same as the family card. To help encourage participation of single Airmen, they can participate in activities with a friend or guest. For a single Airman with a dependent child, a family-only card is issued for 90 days after returning to home station, unless they have a guardian able to utilize the card with the child during the Service member’s absence. “We see it as something to give back [to Service members],â€? said Taylor. For more information on the PLAYplass card, contact the AFRC at 764-3990.

WK 532( EULQJV UDSLG UHVSRQVH FDSDELOLW\ WR MRLQW GLVDVWHU H[HUFLVH By Mitch Chandran MILITARY SURFACE DEPLOYMENT AND DISTRIBUTION COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS
More than 40 members of Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command’s 689th Rapid Port Opening Element from Joint Base Langley-Eustis teamed up with the U.S. Air Force at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Ill. last week, honing their rapid response and assessment skills during a Joint Task Force Port Opening exercise. The exercise, Operation Gateway Relief, was based on an earthquake-disaster scenario affecting ďŹ ve states throughout the Midwest. The team’s objective was to make the airport viable as a logistical hub for arrival of cargo, equipment and relief supplies. This exercise also allowed participants to conduct operations at a civilian airďŹ eld with limited infrastructure, strengthen-
ing a joint planning team concept and allowing for coordination with local authorities and ďŹ rst responders. RPOE members worked jointly with Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Contingency Response Group for an initial assessment of capabilities at the airport and surrounding area, and managed the surface transportation and tracking of arriving cargo and commodities to include temporary storage and forward distribution. U.S. Transportation Command’s JTF-PO program is designed to provide a quick reactive command and control force to a contingency anywhere in the world. “We provide continuity and management of cargo and supplies via surface transportation for JTF-PO,â€? said U.S. Army Capt. Charles Greene, 689th RPOE commander. “This also includes locating and managing a forward distribution node for cargo storage and tracking all cargo that comes into and out of the airport.â€?

Both Army and Air Force ďŹ rst responders, known as the Joint Assessment Team, arrived at the airport and were tasked to assess infrastructure and transportation capabilities and report their assessment and recommended follow-on JTF-PO package to the U.S. Transportation Command within 24 hours. The team provided their assessment and recommendation this week in about four hours. “We look at all the infrastructure the airport and surrounding area has to offer,â€? Greene said. “We take into account roads,
rail and areas available to us for temporarily cargo and equipment storage, and how often aircraft can arrive, depart and be parked, and base our assessment on that.� Greene mentioned elements the RPOE unit considers when looking for a potential cargo holding area are proximity (within six miles), suitability of terrain and how easy or hard it is to defend, and operability of locations before a selection is made.

The Air Force’s 605thTest and Evaluation Squadron conducted an elaborate hands-on evaluation of new software upgrades to the Air Force’s Air Operations CenterWeapons System during Recurring Event 12-1 at the Ryan Center’s Combined Air and Space Operations Center-Experimental at Langley Air Force Base, Aug. 5-9.The event put new and upgraded AOC-WS software elements through realistic simulations to determine suitability and effectiveness as it applies to joint warfighters serving the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) in the theater of operations.

A massive screen displaying the Korean peninsula, pockmarked with vividly colored icons, looms over the bustling command center where rows of military and civilian personnel in headsets process line upon line of digits and figures. Senior leaders huddle at the center of the room, gazing at the immense monitor above them and discussing what they’re watching. The scene has the feel of a big-budget military thriller. In reality, the production is an elaborate hands-on evaluation of new software upgrades to the Air Force’s Air Operations Center Weapons System, conducted by the 605th Test and Evaluation Squadron. The evaluation lasted from Aug. 5 through 9 at Langley Air Force Base’s Combined Air and Space Operations Center-Experimental, inside the Ryan Center. The test, known as Recurring Event 12-1, was designed to put new and upgraded AOC-WS software elements through realistic simulations to determine the suitability and effectiveness of those products as it applies to joint warfighters serving the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) in the theater of operations. “We test what we field, and field what we test,” said Lee Grieve, the AOC-WS test director.

The AOC-WS gives information to commanders, allowing them to orchestrate battle plans in air, space and cyberspace. The CAOC-X houses a massive computer network tracking simulated war efforts downrange. The Weapons System is the operating system for that network. Langley’s CAOC-X served as a testbed for this new operating system, which, when approved, could eventually be used at all CAOCs throughout the world.
According to Grieve, software updates can be equated to computer operating system service packs, which are patches that update existing software to the end-user -in this case, U.S. military personnel serving in the AOC. The upgrades, which include tweaks to existing platforms and introduction of emerging technologies, improve SEE WEAPONS PAGE 7

Ray Zuniga Tasking Order over the 605th Test and Evaluation Korean peninsula. Squadron commander At the culmination of the week-long test, evaluators assessed how effectively AOC personnel used the weapons system upgrades to accomplish their mission. Air Combat Command leadership takes the feedback and either recommends or does not recommend adoption and distribution of the proposed software package to units in the field. Ultimately, this test leads to the recommendation of distribution of software upgrades designed to improve the way the commander responsible for joint airpower application in battle employs that airpower using the AOC, consisting of trackers monitoring combat from a centralized location. Additionally, new software or applications can be included in the updates, giving warfighters new tools to better accomplish mission objectives and stay ahead of the enemy. “Our upgrades help us apply the concept of the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide and Act) faster than the enemy, which makes us quicker and more capable than the enemy,” Zuniga said. “In nearly every case, the force that has that advantage wins the battle.” Senior Airman Javier Torres Rios, an ATO re-planner from the 608th AOC at Barksdale AFB, La., has participated in five developmental tests, and said he is privileged to be part of the process in which warfighters get the best available technology to complete their mission. “It’s definitely good to get hands-on with the systems before they go out to the Air Force. I work with this software every day at home station and know what to look for, how it should work and how it can work better,” he said. “I’m glad I get to give my input to help build a better experience for our people.” If approved, the WS upgrades will be fielded at the 612th AOC at Davis-Monthan AFB, N.M., for operational testing in October.

Transition program fights veteran joblessness By 2nd Lt. Brooke Betit 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Every year, the U.S. military services transition approximately 160,000 activeduty Service members out of the military. The Department of Labor Statistics anticipates that number to jump to more than 300,000 members separating annually over the next four years. To meet that increase, greater emphasis has been placed on helping transitioning Service members. In July 2012, President Obama announced the launch of the new Transition GPS (Goals, Plans and Success) program. Not only did the government increase its efforts, but other entities also stepped up to help transitioning Service members, including many colleges and universities that provide academic credit for prior learning acquired in the military, as well as businesses recognizing the value of military training and experience. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, average unemployment numbers among post-9/11 veterans has decreased to 7.4 percent in 2013, a significant change from the 2011 statistics of 12.1 percent. “Our goal is to prepare and equip [Service members] to be career ready and apply their valuable military experience however and wherever they choose in the civilian workforce,” Dr. Susan Kelly, deputy director of the Transition to Veterans Program office, stated in a testimony submitted to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. Fully implemented Jan. 14, the Transition GPS program sought to meet that call to action, replacing the 20-year-old Transition Assistance Program by mandating a longer transition time and offering a five-day workshop. The program also increased staffing and requirements to meet the growing demand for transition services. According to Reba Gordon, Transition Services manager for the Army Career and Alumni Program at Fort Eustis, the longer timeline makes for an easier transition from the military to civilian world. “There are so many things to do to prepare for that change, and nobody can do everything they need to do in 90 days,” Gordon said. “Our program sets a solid foundation for a transition. We give you

the tools you need, and we have experts here to walk you through the process.” Some of those services include outlining the disability compensation application process, creating e-Benefits, a go-to site for Service members to access benefits, including the status/process of their application in Veterans Affairs, apply for the GI Bill or home loans. The program also offers job fairs, expositions and other ways for military members to network. Some, like Senior Master Sgt. Martin Zeigler, Combat Air Forces munitions policy manager at Headquarters Air Combat Command, decided to take advantage of those resources a little earlier than most. He began the Transition GPS program two years from retirement. “I’ve served 21 years in the military and been to countries like Germany, Japan and England. I’ve loved moving around and I’ll miss the camaraderie,” he said. “But now, I want to provide a stable environment for my family.” Zeigler attended the Transition GPS
program early to get a grasp on translating his military skills into civilian terms. “I think military experience is a valuable asset to a civilian job,” Zeigler said. “In the military, you get to learn how to be a leader. You also deal with a lot of diversity and you learn how to manage that.” Zeigler appreciates the services offered through the Transition GPS program. “The last time I had to apply for a job was at age 20. I need to brush up a little,” he laughed. “The GPS program helps me do that by translating my military jargon and skills to the civilian sector that might not understand. It provides you with the tools to make an easier transition.” Both the Airman and Family Readiness Center at Langley Air Force Base and the Army Career and Alumni Program at Fort Eustis provide similar Transition GPS programs. Over the course of five days, Service members meet with a financial specialist to develop a 12-month spending plan, a Department of Labor representative to prepare them for job searching and
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, average unemployment numbers among post-9/11 veterans has decreased to 7.4 percent in 2013, a significant change from the 2011 statistics of 12.1 percent.
a Veterans Affairs representative to inform them of their entitlements. Andreanetta Hollowell, Department of Labor employment workshop specialist, reiterated the importance of Transition GPS. “Many of the individuals who come through our workshop are so used to being in the military, they may not recognize some of their key needs,” she said. “We help them turn their enlisted performance report bullets into resume bullet statements. We prepare them for an interview and help them sell their skills.” The new Transition GPS program also mandated staffing accreditation to support the larger crowd transitioning out of the Air Force. “The caliber of the people on the [Transition GPS] team and the experience they bring makes [AFRC] a great resource,” said Ann Gregory, Transition GPS team member. “Not only can we help them through this program, we know resources in the community and can connect them with those resources easily. “The upgrade came at a good time, with the roll-back program and the drawdown in the Air Force,” she added. “Because of the reduction in the number of active-duty members, we have a bigger demand for our transition program.” The AFRC at Langley has increased the number of workshops to three sessions per month to meet the number of individuals transitioning out of the Air Force, with class sizes accommodating up to 35 people. Fort Eustis’ program, ACAP, recently relocated to a new building to accommodate up to 40 students per class, also held three times each month. “We give priority to short-notice separations, including those affected by roll-backs or medical evaluation boards,” Gregory said. “We also try to target first-term Service members. Statistically, they are the age group with the highest unemployment.” After transitioning members attend the five-day course, they are able to choose from three capstone paths; higher education, technical training and the entrepreneur. Each course lasts two days and provides Service members with resources and contacts to pursue their interests. SEE TRANSITION PAGE 15

Airmen serve beyond expectations By Tech. Sgt. Christina M. Styer

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Curtis, 497th Operations Support Squadron analyst, and Airman 1st Class Orion Rosado, 633rd Communications Squadron cybersystems operations technician, assisted civilian victims involved in a front-end vehicle collision in Gloucester while on their way to an honor guard detail May 29. (A last name withheld for security reasons.)
“It looked like something you would see in a movie,” said Airman 1st Class Orion Rosado, 633rd Communications Squadron cybersystems operations technician. Rosado and Senior Airman Curtis, 497th Operations Support Squadron analyst, watched in disbelief as two vehicles collided on the opposite side of the highway, metal crumpling like tissue paper as the force of the impact pushed both cars into a ditch in the median. Before they could fully process the shock of what they had just witnessed, Curtis yelled “Pull over!” “We had to stop,” said Curtis. “If we heard on the news later that someone had died, knowing we could have been there to respond, it would have made me feel terrible.”
— Airman 1st Class Orion Rosado 633rd Communications Squadron cybersystems operations technician Rosado explained the moment as one of pure adrenaline mixed with an intense impulse to serve. “Something jumped out of us and made us feel we had to get over there and help,” Rosado explained. Instinct and teamwork took over as Rosado ran to one car and Curtis to the other. Clouds of smoke billowed from the vehicle Rosado ran to. As he opened the door, the smoke cleared, revealing an elderly woman in the driver’s seat. “I wasn’t expecting it to be someone older,” said Rosado “When I saw her, I knew I had to be delicate. I didn’t want to hurt her any more than she already was.”
Stunned and in shock, the woman was suffering a broken hand and chest pain from the impact of the airbag. Rosado stayed with her, asking her questions to keep her calm and engaged until help arrived. At the other car, Curtis quickly realized both the driver and passenger could be seriously injured. “The female driver had bruises on her neck and said she couldn’t feel the left side of her face,” said Curtis. “Her boyfriend’s knees were bleeding and he said he couldn’t feel them.” SEE DEDICATED PAGE 11

DEDICATED FROM PAGE 10 When help arrived minutes later, an emergency medical technician asked Curtis to treat the driver for shock and help stabilize her neck so she could be placed on the stretcher. “When he said to treat her for shock, I already knew what to do. He didn’t have to teach me on the spot,â€? Curtis explained. Curtis credits his ability to assist the emergency responders to the Self-Aid and Buddy Care training he received in the Air Force. “It’s about readiness,â€? said Rosado. “The Air Force requires us to be physically ďŹ t and trained in things like SABC and [cardiopulmonary resuscitation] classes for the moments you need to be ready.â€? Once the last victim was transported into the ambulance, the Airmen knew they had done all they could for the accident victims. Their service did not stop there, however. They reminded themselves that service before self meant they had to carry on and perform the original task they set out to ful“We should always ďŹ ll that day – presenting have a kind heart. We are military funeral honors to all people. Just because someone who had served you don’t know somebefore them. “Our honor guard train- one doesn’t mean you ing requires us to hold can’t help them.â€? the utmost professional— Senior Airman Curtis ism,â€? Rosado explained. 497th Operations Support “The security of knowing Squadron analyst they were going to be ďŹ ne and being taught to have the professionalism to get right back to work is what gave me the go-ahead to execute the honors. We did what we had to do.â€? An hour later and with only 15 minutes to prepare, the honor guardsmen arrived at the funeral location. “We still made it to the funeral on time and it was a perfect detail,â€? said Curtis. Exhausted and mentally drained by the end of the detail, Rosado said he spent time reecting on the day’s events and what his role as an Airman really means to him. “I was surprised with myself,â€? he shared. “I was really proud of how well Curtis and I were able to handle the situation and still perform our primary duties.â€? As the Airmen transition back to their squadrons and Curtis prepares to join the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard, both will take with them lessons learned from this experience. “We should always have a kind heart,â€? said Curtis. “We are all people. Just because you don’t know someone doesn’t mean you can’t help them.â€? Rosado agreed. “It is important to be ready to serve in any moment,â€? he said. “It could be your friend or your neighbor, and they may need you. You would hope someone would do the same for someone you love.â€? Both Curtis and Rosado learned lessons about the importance of service, training and readiness that many do not learn until later in their careers.

Kaylee Jenkins races in an obstacle course during Operation Hero at Langley Air Force Base, Aug. 7.The 12th annual event aims to show children various aspects of military and deployment requirements their family members might go through, including a fitness obstacle course, immunizations and chemical warfare gear, while exposing them to career fields such as security forces, medical support and explosive ordnance disposal.
More than 280 children, families and volunteers participated in the Operation Hero event Aug. 7 at Langley Air force Base where children went through a simulated pre-deployment process. The 12th annual event aims to show children various aspects of military and deployment requirements their family members might experience, including a fitness obstacle course, immunizations and chemical warfare gear, while exposing them to career fields such as security forces, medical support and explosive ordnance disposal. “It’s very important for the kids to feel like they are a part of the process and have an understanding of the positive aspects of the military,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Dawn Chapman, Airman and Family Readiness Center readiness noncommissioned officer. “It’s wonderful to be out here and see our military families enjoying themselves.”
“It’s very important for the kids to feel like they are a part of the process and have an understanding of the positive aspects of the military. It’s wonderful to be out here and see our military families enjoying themselves.” — U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Dawn Chapman Airman and Family Readiness Center readiness noncommissioned officer Hillary Percivalle, a military spouse, attended the event with her three children and said the activities gave her family a better understanding of military procedures. “It helped my family deal with my husband’s deployment because we got to see what he has to go through to deploy,” she said. “This experience makes it more relatable.”
After recen ntly moving to Langley, Anna Linehan, a 13-year-old d military dependent, said she was eager to attend Operation Hero with her family. “I came wiith my two younger brothers and they were really eexcited about it too. There was a fire truck, that wa as really cool,” said Anna. “I had no clue before what p people did on Langley, but this event gave me a bettter insight of what happens here.” Operation Hero H is just one of numerous activities hosted by AF FRC to help families cope while their Service memb ber is away. Chapman said AFRC also holds month hly events, a quarterly Hearts Apart dinner and aan annual “Evening Under the Stars” spouse event. “There is no o better business than making sure our Airmen and their families are taken care of,” said Chapman. “T This event is just a small part of giving back to them..” For more in nformation on programs for deployed Service memb bers, contact the AFRC at 764-3990.

EXERCISE FROM PAGE 4 “This is definitively a great training scenario for all of us,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Mark Heiniger, 123rd CRG and exercise commander. “We are learning a lot from the active duty and they are learning things from us. Without a doubt, if my unit gets tasked for a real-world contingency, I would want the RPOEs with us.” Along with completing an initial assessment and management of cargo and supplies, the RPOE is also responsible for the tracking process of JTF-PO cargo by setting up a network of in-transit visibility (ITV) systems at entry and exit points around the airfield and the forward distribution node. The unit’s objective is to provide 100 percent accountability and location of all cargo and supplies arriving and departing the area. “We are capturing ITV using two different systems - three Portable Deployment Kits and two Early Entry Device Service Kits,” Greene said. “The difference between the two systems is the PDK is a more mobile ITV system while the EEDSK gives us a more permanent ITV solution.”
JTF-PO reduces the historic ad hoc nature of port opening with a jointly-trained solution and a 12-hour deployment response at an aerial port of debarkation, or APOD. The last real-world contingency RPOE units responded to occurred in mid-January 2010 after a devastating earthquake struck the nation of Haiti. “This is relevant training for our unit,” said Spc. Antoinette Wright, transportation management coordinator for the 689th. “It’s a continual learning process on receiving and distributing cargo and efficiently managing the process.” The 689th RPOE has two sister units – the 688th and 690th RPOE, also at JBLE. At any given time, one of the three RPOE units are on alert, providing around-theclock ability to deploy worldwide at a moment’s notice. The mission of the 689th RPOE is to provide a joint expeditionary capability to rapidly deploy, establish and initially operate an aerial port of debarkation and distribution node in support of a combatant command contingency, humanitarian aid or disaster relief operation.

TRANSITION FROM PAGE 8 However, both Langley and Fort Eustis transition staff highlighted the importance of commander involvement in the program. “If the commander knows the importance of the program, he can better help the Service member manage his or her time,” ACAP manager Reba Gordon said. “Early involvement helps both the commander and Service member plan further out in advance so the member can also meet mission requirements while transitioning, and the mission isn’t impacted.” U.S. Army Sgt. Brittany Young, a power generator mechanic for the 155th Inland Cargo Transfer Company, was able to start her transition 10 months before her service ended. “It really opened my eyes to everything I needed to do, like taking care of my finances, working on networking and making my resume stand out,” she said. “I learned a lot about leadership in the military and I want to take those skills and put them to use a little closer to my family and support system. This program helps me do that.” Both facilities at Langley and Fort Eustis offer transition assistance to all service branches. U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew Groening, a Seabee as-

signed to Navy Cargo Handling Battalion 1 at Naval Weapons Station, Cheatham Annex, Williamsburg, also came to the class, largely to learn about the resources available to him. “I loved my job. I’m really proud of what I did in the Navy,” he said. “But I lost some of my hearing because of my job and I wanted to understand the benefits that are out there for me.” Transition GPS offers access to many such resources and deeper understanding of the processes that go into receiving benefits. “If you’re getting out, this program will give you a successful plan,” Groening said. While the Transition GPS program at Fort Eustis and Langley AFB offer transitioning Service members useful tools, it is ultimately up to the individual to capitalize on the training. “This resource is going a long way toward helping them out and getting them ready to go,” Gordon said. The Department of Defense continues to seek out improved ways to bridge the gap between the military and civilian workforce for transitioning Service members through the GPS program, in an effort to decrease joblessness for the country’s veterans.

“The reason I joined the Air Force is to serve my country while helping people in unique locations,” said Maj. Jamie Swartz. “Being a surgeon allows me to change people’s lives for the better.” Now on her first deployment at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, she is doing that and more. A native of Osmond, Neb. and currently deployed from Langley Air Force Base, Swartz is an otolaryngologist who works in the Craig Joint Theater Hospital’s ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinic with mouth surgeon, U. S. Army Lt. Col. David Thompson. “This is the first time in my career I have been able to provide humanitarian support,” said Swartz, 455th Expeditionary Medical Group, ear, nose and throat surgeon. Every Tuesday, the ENT team goes to the Korean humanitarian hospital to see Afghan patients. Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the Craig Joint Theater Hospital’s ENT clinic team sees Afghan patients referred from the Egyptian humanitarian hospital or Afghan surgical follow-up patients. “The patients travel far to see us, and one of our patients
came from seven hours away,” said ENT assistant Staff Sgt. Robyn Wilcox, deployed from Lackland Air Force Base. “The communication barrier, using an interpreter and limited amount of specialty tools make the appointments longer too. During that time, if we see someone who needs surgery and we think they are a good candidate, we schedule them for surgery at Craig Joint Theater Hospital.” While the primary mission of the ENT team is to take care of military and coalition trauma patients, when they are not in the emergency room, the team is in the operating room. Patients in need of elective surgery or a non-emergent procedure, on any part of the body above the neck, are referred to the Craig ENT clinic. “Nearly 90 percent of our elective surgeries performed are on local nationals,” said Swartz. “And, because they are elective, I schedule them when there is an open spot on the operating room’s calendar.” In the past three months, Swartz, Thompson and Wilcox completed 105 surgeries, and their schedule for August is already full. “I have had the opportunity to sharpen my surgical and clinical skills working on humanitarian cases [in Afghanistan] that I might never see in the [U.S.]” said Swartz. The cases the ENT staff sees here are far different or

U.S. Air Force Maj. Jamie Swartz, an ear, nose and throat surgeon deployed from Langley Air Force Base, removes ear wax and examines an 8-year-old patient’s ear for an infection during a follow-up appointment at the Korean humanitarian hospital on Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, July 30. The boy recently had a surgery to remove an infection from his middle ear.
more advanced than what doctors would see in the U.S. Environmental factors such as high elevation, lack of primary health care and nutritional vitamin deficiencies are contributing factors. “Some of the adults have thyroid goiters larger than I have ever seen, and there are many children with cleft lips and palates,” said Swartz. “The thyroid goiters [tumors] SEE DREAM PAGE 17

are significantly more prevalent here because of dietary iodine deficiency. The cleft lip and palate birth defects are more common from lack of prenatal care, vitamin deficiencies and genetic factors. Chronic ear disease is worse here because of the negative ear pressure from the high-mountain elevation and [also from] ear infections untreated at a young age, which sometimes fester into chronic middle-ear problems.” Out of all the surgeries Swartz has performed thus far, there is one that stands out in her mind. “I particularly enjoy the cleft-lip surgeries, because we [ENT surgeons] make a noticeable lifelong impact on that young patient’s life - for appearance, eating and ability to blend in with the community and not face ostracism,” said Swartz. Her specialty has also been used in the Army’s veterinarian clinic here. When a dog has a problem with its ears, nose or mouth, the vet calls Swartz. So far, she has treated one military working dog on multiple occasions for perforated ear drum, ear infections and multiple hematomas in the dog’s ear as a result from trauma, allowing for the dog’s ear to be drained to prevent infection and ear deformity. Swartz also lectures to the Afghan doctors as part of the Afghan Trauma Mentorship Program on Bagram. “I use the experience gained during this deployment to teach future Afghan physicians how to better care for facial trauma and perforated ear drums,” she said. Since Swartz arrived in theater, she has kept a log of all the surgeries she has performed. With two and a half months left on her deployment, she hopes to use the photographs and experience gained here to teach others once she returns to home station.

AUGUST 16, 2013 The responsibility to safeguard Personally Identifiable Information falls upon every Airman. Failure to protect PII could result in identity theft, which occurs when an individual's personal information is used without prior authorization in an attempt to commit fraud or other crimes.

SHE SNORES MORE THAN I DO, BUT I STILL LOVE MY HUMAN. — BANDIT adopted 11-26-09
Recently, Joint Base Langley-Eustis experienced a marked increase in personally identifiable information breaches. So far, the reported number of breaches for this year is eight violations, with five confirmed. The number is significantly higher than 2012, with four reported. Primarily, these recent incidents involved personnel sending unencrypted emails containing PII from their government e-mail accounts to their personal e-mail accounts. When this happens, the first action to take is to determine if the breach would impact the base. The chain of command is then notified, and an investigation is conducted to determine the intent. Finally, the individual involved is notified and training is done. Any information used to trace a person’s identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, home phone numbers, addresses and any other information associated with the individual is considered PII. This information is sensitive in nature and can be used against Service members for identity theft and social engineering. All e-mail traffic that goes beyond the boundary of the JBLE Air Force network is now scanned and monitored daily in an effort to reduce the amount of PII disclosed, including attachments. Sending home social security numbers or passwords from government accounts in attachments through unencrypted means is a poor security practice. It can jeopardize the integrity of the network and ultimately place Service members and their families at risk.
We can protect ourselves and our fellow personnel through easy practices while fulfilling the mission: ■ Members should not send PII to distribution lists or organizational accounts. ■ Maintain control over who has access to recall rosters by sending them through encrypted means only, and do not post them for the public to see at work or at home. ■ Do not maintain any PII (including enlisted/officer performance reports) on home computers. ■ Dispose of PII documents properly after use. ■ All e-mails sent from government systems containing PII must be encrypted and contain the “For Official Use Only (FOUO)” statement at the beginning of the e-mail, as well as in the subject line. Members who need to send PII outside the AF network can utilize an authorized site that provides an alternative way to send encrypted files by means other than e-mail. The Safe Access File Exchange (SAFE) is available to both common access card and non-CAC holders. Joint Base Langley-Eustis members can send files safely and securely. When unauthorized disclosures of PII occur, it is the responsibility of members who notice these disclosures to report them. Follow through with immediate supervision and chain of command, and also contact the base privacy act manager, Timothy Lyon. The most effective way to counter PII breaches is to educate current and new members of JBLE. By doing so, we make sure we are doing our part to protect our fellow Service members and the communications structure of our operations.
