New U.S. Army Chief of Military History visits Fort Eustis by Senior Airman Breonna Veal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The new executive director of the U.S. Army Center of Military History, Charles R. Bowery, Jr., toured the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, Virginia, Jan. 27, 2016. The visit was part of Browery’s tour to visit all 57 active component U.S. Army museums across the world following his appointment. For Bowery, visiting the museums to ensure they are meeting the CMH’s goals of training Soldiers and Civilians and educating the public about the Army’s contributions to society holds a great resonance on a personal level. “My dad brought me to the Transportation Museum when I was 7 years old,” he said. “This was the ﬁrst exposure I had to the Army, and it started me on the path to where I am today. I served on active duty for 23 years before retiring and taking this job. In my eyes, the museum spoke to me, and I think the museum speaks to everyone who visits it.” By evaluating and inspecting the programs, displays and maintenance of the museum, Bowery met with the museum staff to discuss improvements that would aid in the museum’s mission. “Keeping museums operational has a dual purpose,” said Bowery. “Museums like this one are a tremendous teaching tool. They allow Soldiers and Civilians to come and touch the past to learn about the historical heritage of their Army while gaining perspective on their current missions.” By being able to “touch the past,” Soldiers are essentially able to quickly learn as they study parts of history, and see that the challenges they may face on a day-to-day basis as members of the operational Army, are not new, he explained. For Bowery, by using all aspects of

“My dad brought me to the Transportation Museum when I was 7 years old. This was the ﬁrst exposure I had to the Army, and it started me on the path to where I am today. I served on active duty for 23 years before retiring and taking this job.” — Charles R. Bowery, Jr. U.S. Army Center of Military History Executive Director learning, such as tactile, visual, auditory and written, the museum helps everyone from active duty Service members to children of all ages learn the unique history of Army Transportation.

The museum also holds special events highlighting the heritage of the Transportation Corps, inspiring current members of the branch. “For example, by holding the transportation regimental events in the regimental room, the transportation museum is exhibiting esprit de corps,” said Bowery. “These events help Transportation Soldiers gain a sense of belonging to a profession.” While the museum supports Soldiers, to Bowery, it also connects the Army to the American public. With many people coming onto the post to solely visit the museum, this entity is vital in explaining the mission of the Army to the American citizen, he said. Bowery hopes the museum helps the public understand that museums are a part of a larger Army historical program, helps them better understand the role of the Army in a democratic society and helps train more capable and effective Soldiers and units.

Headlines from major news channels have predicted millions of cases and warned of a widespread disease known as the Zika virus. As a result of the headlines, major U.S. airlines have offered refunds to passengers who choose not to go to areas affected by the Zika virus. But due to the potential outbreak, what do U.S. Service members and their families need to know and do in the face of this danger? The Zika virus was ﬁrst discovered in Uganda in 1947 before it spread to Brazil in early 2015. By Jan. 27, 2016, the virus was in 22 countries in the Americas. People who contracted the Zika infection overseas have been found in Texas, Arkansas, Hawaii and Virginia, but there has been no transmission in the United

States. Bites from certain types of mosquitoes found in the southeastern United States transmit the virus, however, dropping temperatures decrease virus transmission and freezing temperatures kill the mosquitoes. Eighty percent of patients with the Zika virus never develop symptoms, with twenty percent developing fever, rash, muscle aches and joint pain lasting about one week. More serious complications are very rare and many fear that the Zika infection might be associated with birth defects. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it is recommended that pregnant women consider postponing trips to countries where the Zika virus is being locally transmitted, such as Central America and northern and central South America.

Treatment for the Zika virus includes controlling pain and fever, good ﬂuid intake and rest. Other medications including antibiotics are not effective and there is no vaccine. People can reduce their chance of becoming infected with good mosquito protection: Q Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Q Stay in places with air conditioning or use window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside. Q Use Environmental Protection Agency registered insect repellents. All EPAregistered insect repellents are evaluated for safety and effectiveness. Q Always follow the product label instructions. Q Re-apply insect repellent every few hours. Q Do not spray repellent on the skin under clothing. Q If using sunscreen, apply sunscreen before applying insect repellent. Q Do not use insect repellent on babies younger than 2 months of age. Q Dress your child in clothing that covers arms and legs, or cover crib, stroller,

and baby carrier with mosquito netting. Q Do not apply insect repellent onto a child’s hands, eyes, mouth, and cut or irritated skin. Q Adults: Spray insect repellent onto your hands and then apply to a child’s face. Q Treat clothing and gear with permethrin or purchase permethrin-treated items. Q Treated clothing remains protective after multiple washings. See product information to learn how long the protection will last. Q If treating items yourself, follow the product instructions carefully. Q Do not use permethrin products directly on skin. They are intended to treat clothing. Q Sleep under a mosquito bed net if overseas or outside and are not able to protect yourself from mosquito bites. The recent outbreak of the Zika virus is a genuine concern. However, by taking a few simple precautions, Soldiers and families can protect themselves. For more information on Zika, visit http://www.cdc.gov/zika/disease-qa. html.

Taking care of equipment that takes care of people by Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

When it comes to maintaining patient care, medical personnel at U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley rely on U.S. Airmen behind the scenes to come running when equipment is in need of a troubleshoot or repair. Whether medical imaging equipment, deﬁbrillators or surgical or clinical laboratory machinery, equipment will always require preventative and corrective maintenance and the biomedical equipment technicians are here to

help. “The Air Force’s main mission is to get planes in the air for the warﬁghting effort,” said U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Christopher Lynch, 633rd Medical Support Squadron biomedical equipment technician. “We have to maintain everything that helps medical personnel get these people in and out the door quickly and effectively and back in the air.” As highly-skilled technicians, Langley BMETs are entrusted to ensure an estimated 5,300 pieces of medical equipment are in working

condition to help serve patients’ medical needs. Servicing equipment with a total value of more than $45 million, the 12-member team completes an average of approximately 750 work orders each month, including regular maintenance of equipment within the hospital, ﬁre department, ambulances, veterinary clinic and deﬁbrillators used by units across the installation. “Most procedures could not be done without equipment that has SEE BMETs PAGE 5

Charles Wolf II, 633rd MDSS biomedical equipment maintenance supervisor. â€œItâ€™s imperative that doctors have reliable results from the equipment that they can trust to treat their patients.â€? According to Wolf, BMETs must become the â€œJack of all tradesâ€? of the medical ďŹ eld with training and knowledge of plumbing, electrical and computer systems administration. One thing that sets their job apart from other maintenance career ďŹ elds is the requirement to be knowledgeable on certain facets of anatomy and physiology. â€œWe need to know what the equipment is supposed to do in order to be able to tell if itâ€™s doing its job correctly,â€? said Wolf. â€œWe need to understand

the human body and how it reacts to the equipment so we can tell if itâ€™s something the machine is doing wrong and if so, what we can do to ďŹ x it.â€? As the technical experts in medical equipment repair, Wolf said he and his team remain vigilant and prepare to respond on site at a momentâ€™s notice. â€œWe always have someone on call,â€? said Wolf. â€œWe try to use spare machines ďŹ rst if we have them, but if not, we can come in and perform maintenance right in the middle of a procedure if necessary.â€? Though they may be behind the scenes, the job of a BMET is never ďŹ nished and they maintain a vital importance to the overall Air Force mission. â€œOur job is really important when it comes to saving lives,â€? said Lynch. â€œWe take care of the equipment that takes care of the people.â€?

Joint CBRNE exercise tests responders

U.S. Airmen simulate cleaning chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and highyield explosive (CBRNE) threats off a firefighter after he entered a CBRNE training area at Fort Eustis, Va., Jan. 28, 2016. After exposure to CBRNE materials, personnel must clean their protective gear to prevent the risk of exposure spreading beyond the affected area. This was the first joint CBRNE exercise incorporating Fort Eustis and Langley Air Force Base emergency responders and safety representatives.

During a recent Army Family Action Plan forum at Fort Eustis, Virginia, the question was raised about re-establishing an Urgent Care Center at the post. “Unfortunately, neither the current demand nor the business case analysis substantiated the request,” said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Heidi P. Mon, McDonald Army Health Center commander. “In meeting with the members of the committee, I recognized the need to educate McDonald Army Health Center beneﬁciaries on the Urgent Care Center options available in the area.” For TRICARE Prime beneﬁciaries assigned to MCAHC to receive care at an Urgent Care Center, an authorization

number is required before proceeding to a UCC. Below is a couple of ways to obtain an authorization: Q When a beneficiary calls the Hampton Roads Appointment Center at 1-866-MIL-HLTH (1-866-645-4584) for an acute or same-day appointment, and none are available, the call agent will link the beneficiary with the front desk staff of the clinic. The clinic staff will either help the patient make an appointment with the clinic or a Registered Nurse will enter a consult for care at a local UCC. The beneficiary can then seek care at any of the local Urgent Care Centers that accepts TRICARE.

other Department of Defense hockey teams. The more than 400 spectators were divided by alliances and cheered on their respective branches. The names of fan’s favorite players and loved ones could be seen on banners, signs and t-shirts, giving the players a true professional feel. To add to this, the Raptors and Lincoln players arrived to the arena early to dress in private locker rooms prior to taking the ice and were given adrenaline-inducing music over the arena’s sound system during warmups. “It’s pretty nice to play in a big arena like this and on a big stage having Air Force members cheering you on,” said Johnson. “I like these games, it can get pretty intense.” In the ﬁnal minutes of the game, the play became a little more physical, cementing a new rivalry between the two teams. “It’s [like the] Yankees and Red Sox,” said Davidow. “A little rivalry with some physical action and right [now] I’m glad we were able to come out with a win.”

With tax season underway, legal personnel opened the doors to two tax centers at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Feb. 1, 2016. The free tax service, which aims to aid U.S. Service members, navigates forms and ﬁgures to ensure JBLE community members receive the biggest refund possible. “Our goal at the Tax Center is to provide a service to our Airmen and their dependents, because they give so much to this country,” said U.S. Air Force Capt. Joshua L. Hall, JBLE tax center ofﬁcer in charge. “This is a little way of giving back.” The Tax Center, which employs more than 30 Airmen, U.S. Army Soldiers and civilian volunteers, operates weekdays

“This program is a way for the Air Force to give Airmen peace of mind so that they can focus on the mission,” said Lewis.
