Carter: DoD Examines, Uses New Data to Combat Sexual Assault By Jim Garamone DOD NEWS, DEFENSE MEDIA ACTIVITY

DoD will capitalize on being a learning and growing organization as it takes new data and forms new policies to combat sexual assault, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said today. The secretary told the Pentagon press corps that the fiscal year 2014 annual report on sexual assault in the military helps the services understand and correct flaws in the program. The report, he said, contains a new measurement to better estimate the number of service members who experienced sexual assaults last year. That number is 20,300. “That’s clearly far, far too many,” Carter said. “But we judge that it is a more accurate measurement of sexual assault, because it is more in line with the range of crimes that military law defines as sexual assault.” An examination of the data also gives a clearer picture of male-on-male assaults, he said. “Compared to women, men are less likely to report and more likely to experience multiple incidents by multiple offenders, and they’re more likely

Heritage Spotlight Known as the “first woman in the Air Force,” Staff Sgt. Esther Blake holds the accolade of joining the Air Force on the first hour of the first day it was authorizedfor women on July 8, 1948. In the 1940’s, with the women’s civil rights movement in full motion and the men gone to fight in World War ll, women stepped up to take their place in the civilian workforce. Blake originally enlisted in March 1944, in Miami in the Army Air Forces. As a widow and a mother of two sons who were currently fighting in the war, Blake’s motivation to join was fueled by the heartbreaking news that her eldest son had been shot down over Belgium and was now missing. She is quoted by the Miami Herald as

to view the incident as hazing or an attempt to humiliate,” the secretary said. Examining, Using Data to Combat Sexual Assault Carter has directed the services to examine the data and look for the best ways to meet the needs of men and women seeking treatment for sexual assault. The survey also suggests that 22 percent of active-duty women and 7 percent of active-duty men may have experienced some form of sexual harassment last year. The secretary said that alone is abhorrent, but it is particularly so as the survey says those who experience sexual harassment are more likely to be sexually assaulted. “So we have to better attack permissive behaviors like sexual harassment,” Carter said. Carter is aiming at this nexus between harassment and assault. “I’m directing the services to update their prevention training to incorporate what we’ve learned and have that integrated in the training,” he said. Carter is also taking full aim at retaliation, especially peer-on-peer retaliation. “Too many service members, the

data shows, feel that when they report or try to stop these crimes, they’re being ostracized or retaliated against in some way,” he said. Secretary Directs DoD-wide Strategy Carter ordered DoD to develop a defense-wide comprehensive strategy to prevent retaliation against service members who report or intervene on behalf of victims of sexual assault and other crimes. “The report makes it crystal clear that we have to do more, and it gives insights on how to improve this ongoing campaign to ensure dignity and respect in our institution,” he said. “No man or woman who serves in the United States military should ever be sexually assaulted, nor should they experience reprisals for reporting such crimes,” Carter said. The secretary said all in the department are dedicated to eradicating the crime, but that it will take time. Still, he said, the military has particular strengths. “We believe in an ethos of honor and trust,” Carter said. “We’ve tackled tough problems before, and again, we’re a learning organization, so we’ll keep getting smarter, we’ll keep getting better, we’ll keep doing everything we can to beat back sexual assault, and we won’t let up.” (Follow Jim Garamone on Twitter: @ garamoneDoDNews)

July 8, 1948: The first woman joins the Air Force saying that her reason for joining the Women’s Air Corps was to free a soldier from clerical work to be able to fight and hopefully speed up an end to the war. “If I can do this, my efforts will be worthwhile,” Blake said. When her second son also went missing in the war as a result of being shot down in his B-25 Bomber over Italy, Blake never lost hope and stayed focused on her mission at hand. Eventually both of her sons returned home with only minor wounds and a chest flooded with decorations. Blake remained on active duty until 1954. Her efforts not only demonstrated patriotism, but also the sacrifices and determination of a mother.

Non-commissioned officers advise care for key assignments By C. Todd Lopez ARMY NEWS SERVICE

The Army must be more selective and careful when choosing Soldiers to serve in key positions, such as recruiters or drill sergeants, said non-commissioned officers, or NCOs, at the first-ever NCO Solarium. Master Sgt. Danny Ibarra, 21st Theater Sustainment Command (Operations and Support), said the Army needs to do a better job of identifying and selecting Soldiers for key assignments. He said the Army has been embarrassed by recruiters having improper relationships with recruits, and even by an enlisted coordinator of a Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention program on Fort Hood, Texas, who was charged with sexual misconduct. “This isn’t the first time these kinds of things have happened with these personnel,” Ibarra said. “This was the first time they were caught. There may be others out there doing the same thing. How do we mitigate the problem of choosing the wrong people for serving in these assignments? We need to screen them better.”

Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey speaks with the 79 Soldiers, who participated in the first-ever 2015 Enlisted Solarium on Fort Leavenworth, Kan., May 1, 2015.

“This isn’t the first time these kinds of things have happened with these personnel. This was the first time they were caught. There may be others out there doing the same thing. How do we mitigate the problem of choosing the wrong people for serving in these assignments? We need to screen them better.” — Master Sgt. Danny Ibarra 21st Theater Sustainment Command (Operations and Support)

Ibarra was the spokesperson for the “talent management” group during the 2015 NCO Solarium on Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. During the Solarium, about 80 NCOs from throughout the Army were tasked to come up with solutions to problems involving education, Army culture, training, mission command, physical fitness, and Army vision and branding. Those Soldiers were then asked to brief the sergeant major of the Army on their findings. Ibarra said there is not a standardized selection process for such key positions, and said that there needs to be involvement of the command sergeants major, or CSMs, and an interview process for such personnel such as what is done for first sergeants. “It may help us choose the best personnel for these positions,” he said. “Having

CSMs vet and interview these personnel could help stop putting the wrong people in these assignments.” Ibarra’s team has also recommended expansion of the Multi-Source Assessment and Feedback 360 program, “requiring all sergeants first class to participate in the program.” He said if that program is expanded, it could also help CSMs conducting interviews for those key assignments, so those senior enlisted leaders could “see how junior Soldiers feel about these potential selectees.” Sgt. 1st Class Bryant MacFarlane, 1/ARB (11D), also with the talent management group, said that his group also hoped the Army could do a better job of advertising career broadening assignments, assignments that he said affect the competitiveness of the enlisted force, and also prepare NCOs to be able to better bring important skills to their organization’s leadership teams. MacFarlane said there is not enough knowledge throughout the Army about the availability of such assignments, and asked that there be an effort to better publicize those assignments. “We ask that somehow these sorts of assignments be broadcast, like an ask-like database, where I can selfnominate for these positions,” he said. Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey said that the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, also known as TRADOC, is working to better define what a broadening assignment is. He said Soldiers all have different interpretations. He said both experience and assignments can be broadening. He also said there are not a lot of those types of assignments available.

An area of confusion, Dailey said, is the difference between what the Army might consider career broadening for Soldiers - jobs such as drill sergeant, recruiter, or Advanced Individual Training platoon sergeant - and what Soldiers might mean when they consider careerbroadening assignments, such as fellowships outside the Army, with industry. Dailey said Soldiers are trained “first and foremost primarily to be able to accomplish their wartime mission on the battlefield.” He said broadening assignments must serve both the Army and the Soldier. One career-broadening opportunity Dailey highlighted was the opportunity to participate in a fellowship on Capitol Hill. He said now the Army is putting sergeant majors into those positions. But Dailey said he believes that younger Soldiers could do the job, and both the Army and the Soldier would then be able to benefit from having them assigned to such fellowships. He said for older Soldiers, they are too late in their career for the Army to benefit. “If we are going to capitalize on these opportunities, we have to first access what is our intent for broadening,” he said. “Why are we doing it?” Another opportunity, Dailey said, might be for a maintenance Soldier to work with a defense contractor that builds combat vehicles. But he said the Army must first determine what it is that both the Soldier and the Army get out of such an assignment, and what the Army should expect to get out of having a Soldier involved in such a non-traditional assignment. “TRADOC is working on that now,” he said.

Fort Eustis, universities exchange SHARP tactics by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Fort Eustis Sexual Assault Response Coordinators hosted a Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention program summit with leadership from local universities April 28, 2015, at Fort Eustis, Virginia. This was the first year the installation teamed up with universities, including Christopher Newport University, University of Richmond and James Madison University, to learn new tactics and exchange ideas to help combat and prevent sexual harassment and assault. According to Kevin Parker, Fort Eustis SARC, the institutions deal with similar sexual assault issues. “Even though we’re in different forums the issues are very similar,” said Michelle Moody, CNU equal opportunity director, “It’s nice to be able to exchange and gather as much knowledge as we can to bring back to our respective institutions - it can only be beneficial.” According to Moody, the military and universities share the same audience of influence when it comes to

combating sexual assault - people from across the country, some of whom are living on their own for the first time. “We’re trying to do a cultural and societal change and it’s going to take time,” said U.S. Army Col. William Galbraith, 733rd Mission Support Group commander, who added that the military positively shapes societal members, transforming them into Service members adhering to the military code of ethics. For Galbraith, universities hold a similar power of influence as the military with the ability to shape the societal views of what is and is not acceptable in terms of sexual assault and harassment, and how to act if intervention is needed. “I got the sense that passion for the subject was undeniable and that people wanted to be a part of doing that right thing,” said Moody of the military members at the summit. “To me, that was something that I could bring back to my school and say ‘If this big huge organization can instill a sense of passion for the subject, a campus our size can do the same.’”

During the summit, the group learned about and discussed the five lines of effort various Army agencies use to combat sexual assault including: prevention, investigation, accountability, advocacy and assessment. “It was interesting to hear the things different representatives look for,” said Moody. “While that’s not the same system we use, it’s helpful to be able to say, ‘In prosecuting a case this is what we need.’” The group also discussed bystander intervention and reviewed methods the Army enforces to prevent sexual harassment and assault, said Melisa Ram, Joint Base Langley-Eustis victim advocate. “The goal of [bystander intervention] is to empower Soldiers to intervene when they witness a sexual harassment or where any behavior which may potentially facilitate a sexual assault,” said Ram. “These intervention processes can be used anywhere, even college campuses.” For Moody, the information exchanged and the contacts made to better educate her school on the topic were priceless. “It’s not as easy as people think it is, so it was nice to know that we’re not in this alone,” said Moody. “It’s just that information sharing--it’s very valuable and it’s nice to know those communication lines are open. You might not find that in some other corporations and that was completely not what I found here, which was very refreshing. I was very happy that they invited us.”

JBLE to test hurricane preparedness by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 733rd Mission Support Group will conduct a hurricane category 1-2 exercise (HUREX 15) May 20, 2015, at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The exercise will test Joint Base Langley Eustis’ emergency management plan, communication and reporting procedures between Fort Eustis and Langley Air Force Base while preparing the installations for hurricane season. “We’re testing community readiness and making sure everyone is onboard because it really takes a community to prepare for hurricane challenges,” said Nyoka Robinson, 733rd Mission Support Division Emergency Management specialist. “We mainly want to collaborate with all of the exercise players to ensure everyone knows who is responsible for the different functions.” Throughout the exercise, personnel at Fort Eustis can expect shelter-in-place procedures, but there will be no other disruption to regular base operations as all injects testing evacuation, response and shelter will be simulated not requiring emergency response movements, said Albert Collins, 733rd MSD Emergency Management specialist. The exercise will also test what resources emergency support functions and the community need to safely prepare and respond to a real-world natural disaster, said Collins. “We’re here to educate the community, be a support to them and provide them with whatever resources or tools they need to prepare,” said Robinson. “We have to test our plan to make sure we have all the procedures and policies in place to provide the service needed.” For Robinson, annual exercises testing natural disasters is a necessity especially because this area has been effected by hurricanes Sandy and Irene in recent years leading to high wind and water damage at JBLE. “Whether it’s the wind or the water, we are definitely susceptible to these types of natural disasters. I don’t think anyone is resilient to natural disasters, so you can’t be too prepared, which is why it is so important to plan and conduct these exercises,” said Robinson. “There is always something we can do to improve what we already have.” For information about hurricane preparedness, visit www.jble.af.mil/library/hurricaneinformation/index.asp.

Langley conducts antiterrorism exercises

633rd SFS to increase antiterrorism efforts

Ervin Faison III, 633rd SFS base defense operations controller, approach a building during an exercise at Langley Air Force Base, Va., May 5, 2015.

Members of the 633rd Security Forces Squadron will make significant adjustments to their antiterrorism routines to better protect personnel at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, May 26, 2015. The immediate changes will be new gate schedules. According to U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Shakira Ham, 633rd SFS desk clerk, the NASA Gate’s inbound and outbound lanes will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the LaSalle and King Street Gates will close from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Ham added that these changes will allow them to allocate 20 percent of SFS members for patrols throughout the base

and in off-base housing, thus providing a safer environment for U.S. Service members. In a case involving terroristic motives, security forces needs to maintain a certain level of manning to ensure maximum effectiveness when halting an emergency situation. “Our patrols are tasked with a magnitude of antiterrorism and force protection duties,” said Staff Sgt. Jacob Brown, 633rd SFS Police Services and Confinement noncommissioned officer in charge. “Patrols conduct random antiterrorism measures to include building checks, traffic monitoring, frequent perimeter security checks and finding and reporting security discrepancies.” SEE ANTITERRORISM PAGE 9

With an increased number of Security Forces members patrolling, less manning will be allocated to each gate, which means gate closures may occur during their least busy hours.

ANTITERRORISM FROM PAGE 8 Brown added that the effectiveness of thwarting and combatting terrorists comes down to policies in place, but most of all, manpower. “With more [officers] able to patrol the base, more random vehicle inspections can be continued; more antiterrorism

procedures can continue; less contraband and potential bad guys are allowed on the base; and the overall health, security and welfare of Langley residents can increase,” said Brown. For more information, call SFS at 7645526 or 764-7766.

VA governor signs military child identier bill by Senior Airman Breonna Veal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

In an effort to address the transitional needs of military children, Terry McAuliffe, Virginia governor, signed a bill geared toward identifying militaryconnected students newly-enrolled in Hampton Roads Community Schools, April 30, 2015. Military Child Identifier Senate Bill No.1347, built by the Joint Military Services School Liaison Committee, contributes to the committee’s objective of addressing the planning, promotion and execution of the transitional challenges of the military connected children; the need for guidance counselor workshops;

and the special education needs of military children in the largest population of military students in any single geographic area of the nation. Glendeline Lee, 633rd Force Support Squadron school liaison, noticed there was no true accountability for the number of military-dependent, school-aged children attending Hampton Roads Community schools. “The uniformed services-connected student identifier bill lets us, school liaisons, get exact numbers for all children of any person serving in either the active or reserve component of the Armed Forces,” said Lee. This data will help the JMSSLC receive

money due to the ability to account for more military children which in turn help the school liaison with direct and individualized service., Lee added. Julie Gifford, Office of the Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs regional military liaison, said she is aware of the JMSSLC’s hard work and dedication in making sure military families are taken care of. “School liaisons are a strong voice and really make a difference,” said Gifford. “I give big thanks for the work they do in serving the military families in Virginia.” For more information about Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, school liaison services, visit new.jbleforcesupport.com.

Civilian Airmen serve their country, deploy with military teammates By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs Command Information More than two million public employees protect the nation through service in the armed forces, and more than 183,000 of them are Air Force civilian full-time, part-time, term, temp and nonappropriated fund Airmen. Often working behind the scenes in support of their military teammates, civilian Airmen help provide a stable foundation at installations worldwide, shouldering in-garrison missions to enable military members to deploy in support of overseas contingencies. In recent years, however, civilian interest and participation in deployed service has signiďŹ cantly increased and now around 400 civilians a year join their military teammates in Afghanistan, Iraq and other locations around the world. Public Service Recognition Week, May 3-9, provides an opportunity to recognize the public service from Airmen who deploy to support their nation and its national security objectives. “Civilian deployment is not for everyone,â€? said Tom Kelly, the Air Force Civilian Expeditionary Workforce program manager. “The hours are long at often potentially dangerous and austere locations for up to 12 months, all without loved ones nearby to offer comfort. But, for the right person, deployment is an opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with uniformed members in a ďŹ ght that transcends personal comfort or safety. It is an opportunity to learn more about national defense from the rubbermeets-the-road perspective, and to give back to your country.â€? Of the civilians who are currently deployed, roughly 62 percent are serving one-year deployments in support of U.S. Central Command Civilian Expeditionary Workforce requirements, Kelly said. “We are currently ďŹ lling CENTCOM deployments at a rate of 2-to-1 compared to the other services combined,â€? he said. “Deployments can be as short as 30 days or as long as two years with approved extensions, but the average is probably around six months when you combine Air Force deployments with CEW deployments.â€? Those who volunteer generally have a deep desire to serve their nation, and

an intrinsic desire to serve is a must for these opportunities. Troy Welsh, an Air Force Materiel Command civil engineer employee, spent 12 months at Bagram AirďŹ eld maintaining heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems that weren’t managed by the contractor. The retired noncommissioned ofďŹ cer deployed twice while on active duty and wanted to experience it from the civilian perspective. He not only came away with greater experience in his ďŹ eld, but some intangible rewards as well. “I really enjoyed getting the chance to meet and work with all the different people from all the countries that support our common cause over there,â€? Welsh said. “I still have contact with a few of the Polish friends I made -- it was an experience I will never forget.â€? Afghanistan can seem like a world away and a year could feel like a very long time, but Welsh said he wouldn’t change a thing. “Believe me, it goes quicker than you would think,â€? he said. “I would do it again in a heartbeat.â€? According to Kelly, most CEW deployments are for requirements in Iraq and Afghanistan. Routinely, there are around 500 rotating requirements per year for positions that range from intelligence to human resources. The most common deployment opportunities are for engineers, trades, logistics, ďŹ nance, contracting and safety. In addition to meeting a variety of people from other nations who are all committed to a common cause, civilian deployers have the unique opportunity to work in a joint environment and get experience in what it’s like to serve with members from other military branches, Kelly said. Dangers are inherent in deployment zones, so why does the Air Force deploy civilians? “We have more requirements than military members can ďŹ ll, and we have some requirements for skill sets that the military doesn’t have,â€? Kelly said, “so civilian support is critical to mission accomplishment.â€?

CIVILIAN AIRMEN FROM PAGE 14 That is a view held at every level of national defense, with Defense Department leaders calling an agile civilian workforce with expeditionary capabilities “a critical component in the fight against terrorism.” Because civilian deployers are so critical, DOD policy allows organizations with individuals who serve in these positions to augment their staff to mitigate the impact on loss of volunteers during their period of service in Afghanistan. A better question might be, with all the danger inherent in the deployment zones, why do civilians volunteer to deploy? “They deploy because they want to be part of the reason we are the Air Force, they want to experience how we deploy and support our national security objectives and to experience what our military (members) go through every day,” said Kelly. “Civilian Airmen are part of the defense team and they want to serve the public in this critical, amazing way.” Tarrus Baker, a workforce development instructor at the Air Force Personnel Center, agrees. Baker volunteered for a 12-month deployment to Camp Eggers, Kabul, and was assigned to the Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan Human Resources Development Team. He worked with the Afghan National Police to develop and streamline their human resource processes, which had been all paper-based. Baker and his team helped the Afghan police develop an electronic HR system called Afghan Human Resources Information Management System, and he travelled throughout the various Afghanistan provinces to inspect Afghan National Police facilities to determine what resources were required to properly implement the new system. “It was a great experience,” Baker said. “We got to know a lot of Afghan National Police leadership. After meeting a lot of the people, you begin to realize the majority just want to be part of the world community, as well as a successful self-sustaining country.” While Baker recommends the experience to any interested civilians, he advises they find out all they can about CEW opportunities so they can make an informed decision. “Some positions have certain requirements, such as leaving the security of the compound from time to time to work with their Afghan counterparts,” Baker said. “Some people were not aware of the requirement until they arrived. It’s a wonderful opportunity to do something truly meaningful, but just make sure you understand what you are signing up for.” Yearlong deployments include rest and recuperation period options at three points, so deployed civilians can take leave to see family and friends, and to relax away from the deployment zone. R&R can be taken as soon as 60 days after arrival and no later than 60 days from the end of a deployment, Kelly explained. Air Force civilian employees interested in deployment opportunities can learn more at the myPers Civilian Deployment Home Page or the DOD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce webpage.

Website improves, simplifies military child care search By Shannon Carabajal AIR FORCE INSTALLATION AND MISSION SUPPORT CENTER PUBLIC AFFAIRS

With frequent moves, Air Force families face the challenging, and often frustrating task of making new child care arrangements every few years. A new Defense Department website is helping ease those moving transitions by simplifying the search and registration process for child care. MilitaryChildCare.com (MCC) offers access to comprehensive information on military-operated and subsidized child care options, including installation child development centers, school-age programs and family child care. Serving as the single gateway for child care information, the site gives families a streamlined, convenient process for finding and requesting care, said Patti Mehrens, the chief of the Air Force Services Activity Child Development Programs Branch. The site is available now at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, MCC will roll out in phases across the Air Force. By June 30, the system is projected to be implemented at 10 additional installations: Joint Base Langley–Eustis, Virginia; Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina; MacDill AFB, Florida; Maxwell AFB, Al-

“MCC is a great tool. The site will standardize child care access across the DOD abama; Moody AFB, Georgia; Patrick for the first time.” AFB, Florida; Seymour-Johnson AFB, North Carolina; Shaw AFB, South Carolina; and Tyndall AFB, Florida. “MCC is a great tool. The site will standardize child care access across the DOD for the first time,” Mehrens said. “And because it’s online, parents will be able to look at all child care options available at the installation they are moving to and make arrangements before arriving on station.” Improved waiting list management is another feature that will benefit families and help centers better anticipate future placement needs. Upon requesting care, families receive an anticipated placement time and email reminders confirming placement is still needed or wanted, Mehrens said. The DOD initiative began as a pilot project in 2013 and is expected to be fully functional worldwide by September 2016. “Child care is a workforce issue that impacts the readiness and retention of the force,” said Barbara Thompson, the director of military community and policy’s office of family policy/children and youth/ special needs. “As families relocate to other areas, it’s really challenging to make sure

— Patti Mehrens Chief of the Air Force Services Activity Child Development Programs Branch

your child care needs are being met, and this tool gives parents an opportunity in advance to find those child care spots that will work for the family,” Thompson said. Using the site is simple, Mehrens said. Families simply create a profile and begin their search for child care options. They can submit requests for care and manage their requests at any time from any location. According to sources, no training is needed; the site was designed to ensure that families could easily navigate the website without help. If families do have questions or experience issues, they can contact the help desk for support. An interactive chat feature will soon be added to the site as well. For more information, visit the website or contact your installation child development center. (Content provided by Terry Moon Cronk, DoD News)

Soldiers take tough stance on physical tness test failures

• The Peninsula Warrior - Army

www.peninsulawarrior.com

By C. Todd Lopez ARMY NEWS SERVICE

Soldiers at the first-ever NCO Solarium said they felt the Army has gone soft on those who have failed their Army Physical Fitness Tests, or APFT, too many times - and called for more discipline in enforcing standards. Sgt. 1st Class Jason Ruiz, Headquarters Services Company, U.S. Army North, said allowing Soldiers, who have repeatedly failed their APFT to stay in the Army is inconsistent with the idea that physical fitness is important. “When Soldiers end up being retained, we feel it is a detriment to the unit and other units, who see that Soldier being retained,” Ruiz said. “One of our recommendations is to remove the commander’s ability to decline a separation packet for APFT failures.” Ruiz served as the spokesperson for the physical fitness group during the 2015 NCO Solarium on Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. During the Solarium, about 80 NCOs, from throughout the Army, were tasked to come up with solutions to problems involving education, Army culture, training, mission command, physical fitness, and Army vision and branding. Those Soldiers were then asked to brief the sergeant major of the Army on their findings. 1st Sgt. Robert V. Craft Jr., 1-16 Infantry, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was also part of the physical fitness group. He speculated that the Army was accepting poor performers on the physical fitness test as a way to retain manpower numbers - something he felt was a bad idea. “Over the last decade or so ... we have begun to accept substandard performance in order to make numbers for missions,” he said. “By retaining those Soldiers, it basically leads to a consensus ... that PT [physical training] isn’t important, that being in shape isn’t important.” The same rigorous accountability that is applied to those within the Army Body Composition Program, ought to also be applied to those who fail the Army APFT, Craft said. AFPT failures could force a separation after a second time, or after a Soldier has failed within a

certain number of years, for instance. There should also be stricter Army physical fitness standards for those in leader positions, such as platoon sergeant, first sergeant or commander, Craft said. There should be stricter standards for those going off to any of the Army’s professional military education, or PME, schools. “Then we are getting the best to go to school,” he said. Craft said his time as a first sergeant is limited - and often heavily managed. He said he ends up spending an inordinate amount of time working with Soldiers, who have failed too many times to meet Army standards. Above his head, he said, commanders continue to file the paperwork and make the exceptions to keep those Soldiers in the unit - something he said is not good for the Army. “I can’t fix a Soldier if the Soldier has quit,” Craft said. “If the Soldier no longer has the desire, then get rid of

him. I can do more with less [Soldiers], if I no longer have to worry about the bottom 10 percent.” Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey told those NCOs at the Solarium to not refrain from sending lessthan-stellar PT performers to Army PME schools. He said at an Army PME school, a Soldier cannot hide from the repercussions of failing to meet standards. “Send them to school,” he said. “We’ll take care of them. There should no longer be the idea that if they no longer make PT, we’ll hold them back. Send them. They go to school. We’ll grade them. We’ll help you take care of those people. Policy is going to drive that. When you fail, when you get that referred report in your file, you’re going to be eligible for QMP [Qualitative Management Program] - as you should.”

The QMP is a program that deals with substandard performing Soldiers, and can remove them from service. Dailey said Soldiers must meet the standards of being a Soldier the entire time they are in the Army, and there is no reprieve from the standards. “There is no pause button on being a Soldier,” he said. “So nowhere in the regulations does it say two or three times you are allowed to be fat. It says you have to be skinny all the time. You should be graded from the time you enter the Army until the time you leave. Your peers are graded the same way. Don’t hold them back from school anymore. Send them. We can help with that.” Sgt. 1st Class Erin L. Hicks, U.S. Army Dental Activity, Fort Carson, Colorado, said her group was calling for a “supreme authority” on installations when it comes to things like nutrition and physical fitness. Right now, she said, there is no such central authority, and the network of individuals who provide that information and guidance is “fragmented.” She pointed out that 68M Soldiers, nutritional specialists, are serving as cooks in military dining facilities. She said that flies in the face of the modern understanding of a nutritional specialist, which is somebody who can provide counseling and education regarding nutrition. She also said the master fitness trainer course is unit-funded, coming out of discretionary funds. With fiscal constraints, she said, “not all commanders will be able to send NCOs to that critical course, bring them back and use them in their brigade, battalion, etc.” With skills like fitness training and nutritional expertise dispersed, and not guaranteed, she suggested the Army create a new position in the Army, an enlisted expert on fitness, sleep and nutrition, that can be the central go-to Soldier for what the Army is calling its Performance Triad. “Why can’t we bring all that together, like I would as a civilian and seek a personal trainer, who will provide me with nutrition education, physical training, recovery training,” she asked. “Why can’t we make that into an MOS [military occupational specialty], bring it all together and put it at brigade level?” She said such a position would not eliminate the need for Army master fitness trainers, but would instead serve as the lead for that program. Hicks suggested the 68M be transi-

tioned from MFT/nutritionist to be the supreme authority on installations about fitness, nutrition and sleep. She said creation of such a position, which is Armyfunded, not unit-funded, will be a “constant reminder that we take total Soldier fitness seriously and that we are going to make it a priority.” Ruiz also said that his physical fitness group wanted to see the Army’s APFT more aligned, doctrinally with Army Physical Readiness Training, which is focused on preparing Soldiers physically for specific Soldier mission tasks. He said the AFPT does not effectively evaluate what is being done in PRT. He also said that many units are not actually doing PRT, but are doing other forms of physical fitness. Dailey told NCOs that a lot of Army units are not putting the necessary emphasis on physical training that is needed to keep the Army ready. He said today that 40 percent of Soldiers are overweight, and that there are as many as 45,000 Soldiers, who are not deployable today. “Most of those [are] associated with lower-extremity profiles,” Dailey said.

“You don’t get good at physical training unless you do physical training.” — Daniel A. Dailey Sgt. Maj. of the Army

“And largely associated with, believe it or not, your ankles hurt when you are 30 or 40 pounds overweight. Your knees hurt when you are 30 or 40 pounds overweight. Your knees hurt? Stop eating donuts.” Dailey also said that the Army must change the culture of physical fitness, and bring back accountability to the program. “You don’t get good at physical training unless you do physical training,” he said. “When you allow your platoons and your squads to do squad physical training, I can tell you most of the time ... it is not good. I don’t know how we ever said we have to let squad leaders do physical training every day. We need to probably reel some of that in. There was a lot of goodness when the battalion had to meet in the quad and salute the flag together. It’s called accountability.”

Joint Task Force Activates for Nepal Earthquake Relief News Release MARINE CORPS FORCES PACIFIC

Joint Task Force 505 has been activated to support the government of Nepal by conducting humanitarian disaster relief operations to limit further loss of life and suffering in response to the devastating earthquake that struck central Nepal on April 25. Navy Adm. Samuel J. Locklear III, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, has designated Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John Wissler, commanding general of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force, as the joint task force’s commander, effective today. Activation of the task force follows the initial U.S. military response to support Nepal’s government, joining the efforts already underway by the Joint Humanitarian Assistance Survey Team and the U.S. Agency for International Development and Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance Disaster Assistance Response Team, as well as urban search and rescue teams already delivered to Nepal by Air Force C-17 transport jets. At Nepalese Government’s Request “We are here at the request of, and in support of, the government of Nepal

as they deal with this terrible tragedy,” Wissler said. “We will continue to provide support as part of the overall U.S. government and international response as long as our unique capabilities can support the government of Nepal and remain in partnership with the Nepalese army.” Joint Task Force 505’s forward headquarters here will coordinate U.S. military relief efforts. The task force will continue to work closely with senior representatives from the U.S. State Department, USAID and other U.S. agencies to ensure continued and timely responses to requests from the Nepalese government, officials said. The task force will initially support ongoing disaster relief operations with a U.S. Air Force contingency response group, three Marine Corps UH-1Y Huey helicopters, four Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, four Air Force C-17 Globemaster III transports and two Marine Corps KC-130 Hercules aircraft, as well as various ground and aviation command and control capabilities. Officials said they anticipate that the task force’s mission will require having about 500 U.S. military personnel working in Nepal.
