On Sept. 18, 2015, unambiguous black and white ﬂags will be ﬂown across the United States in remembrance of the nation’s Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action. In keeping with this theme, Joint Base Langley-Eustis personnel will host a series of events in observance of National POW/MIA Recognition Day at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Sept. 17-18.

“As our Armed Forces defend our homeland from new threats in a changing world, we remain committed to a profound obligation that dates back to the earliest days of our founding -- the United States does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind,” President Barack Obama stated in the 2014 National POW/MIA Recognition Day Proclamation. “On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we express the solemn promise of a country and its people to our Service members who have not returned home and their families: you are not forgotten.” This year marks the 17th anniversary of the day and the installation’s ﬁfth annual recognition days of events.

TRADOC Flight Det. deactivates by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Flight Detachment deactivated Sept. 8, 2015, at Fort Eustis, Virginia, in accordance with the U.S. Armyâ€™s Aviation Restructure Initiative. While the detachment has provided 43 years of professional service to the U.S. Army, the ARI deemed the detachmentâ€™s resources were needed elsewhere. â€œFurling up a guidon kind of hurts,â€? said Chief Warrant OfďŹ cer 5 Lynwood T. Saville, TFD commander. â€œThe ARI is moving forward ... and Iâ€™m glad that our Army wonâ€™t be left behind in modernization or training for the next contingency, but Iâ€™m sad the TFD was [chosen.]â€?

The detachment, which activated in 1972 and was originally stationed at Langley Air Force Base, moved to Fort Eustis in 1982 as part of the aviation division of Felker Army AirďŹ eld. It has been equipped with various helicopters ranging from the UH-1 Huey to the UH-72 Lakota with a primary mission of transporting the TRADOC commander and leadership to and from Washington D.C. as well as other general ofďŹ cers throughout the eastern United States. â€œStarting with the ďŹ rst TRADOC commander, the detachment has been instrumental in moving key leaders and players that shape the future of

our Army,â€? said Gen. David G. Perkins, TRADOC commander. â€œI think very few organizations can look back at their lineage and see how they personally and professionally have impacted the Army in such a large manner.â€? According to Perkins, the detachment played a vital function, especially during contingency operations and most notably when TRADOC was establishing new training concepts during the Vietnam ConďŹ‚ict. â€œIt would be hard to think of what our Army would look like coming out of the Vietnam conďŹ‚ict, had we not had TRADOC or the ability to develop our concept of doctrine and organization and methods of training that have built the best Army in the world today,â€? said Perkins. â€œA lot of that began with the ability of leaders to move around ... to get them to where they needed to be, no matter what to make those decisions that have shaped our Army since 1972.â€? While conducting general ofďŹ cer ďŹ‚ights, throughout its 43 year-history, the detachment also supported

With the unit deactivated and members moving to new units within the Army, Perkins said he knows they will take with them the professionalism and standards TRADOC embodies. â€œNow the good news is that the Army doesnâ€™t lose you,â€? said Perkins. â€œAs you take off that TRADOC patch, remember that TRADOC is charged with the pursuit of excellence and standardization ...

Gunrunners open doors to build JBLE camaraderie by Staff Sgt. Natasha Stannard 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

With joint specializations involving aircraft, vessels, transportation, security, medical care and administration across two installations, some may find it difficult to understand how each field is connected in keeping the Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, missions running smoothly. To better understand how the joint installation enables mission success and camaraderie, the U.S. Army Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 210th Aviation Regiment, 128th Aviation Brigade, also known as the Gunrunners, regularly opens its doors to national and international diplomats, distinguished visitors and foreign militaries as well as JBLE

work centers. Recently the Gunrunners had the U.S. Army Public Health Command, Fort Eustis, Virginia, branch for a tour, during which the health providers experienced how the aviation mechanics train Advanced Individual Training AH-64 D/E helicopter maintenance students. As the Gunrunners took the visitors through the helicopter hangar, the guests were exposed to what it takes to prepare for and enable support that provides ground commanders with the ﬂexibility and maneuver space to accomplish the mission. “This is a partnering opportunity with one of our adjacent units within JBLE to share understanding about what each of SEE GUNRUNNERS PAGE 5

GUNRUNNERS FROM PAGE 4 us brings to the fight,” said Capt. Wayne E. Griffin Jr., Bravo Co., 1st Bn., 210th Av. Reg., 128th Av. Bde. commander. “By partnering with each other, we’re giving each other an opportunity to see how we fit into the cog of the wheel that is JBLE. The title of our base itself as a joint base speaks to partnership, so why not use it as an opportunity to partner with a unit you may not have direct contact with on a daily basis.” During the tour, the public health team learned of the class work and practical training involved in teaching an aviation mechanic to not only learn the aircraft’s capabilities, but what it takes to maintain and fly the machinery. “The way they train is very informative and interactive, which is great for incoming soldiers because they get to learn through different methods,” said Sgt. Keiarah Williams, U.S. Army Public Health Command Fort Eustis branch veterinary food inspection noncommissioned officer, of the training Bravo Co. provides to Soldiers. For Capt. Griffin, transparency as to how the gunrunners train, and foster a resilient environment between coworkers and students is of the utmost importance. “Understanding how we train over 1,300 students annually to maintain such a sophisticated aircraft in 15 weeks builds trust,” said Griffin. “Trustworthiness is the fabric of our Army profession and integral in building the team. Who knows, there may be a future Apache maintainer amongst the group or even a potential aviator. If we’re able to network with our brothers and sisters in arms to make the team stronger, the Gunrunners will do our part.” While this is the first time the Gunrunners have partnered with the public health team, Griffin said he hopes it will not be the last, and the hangar doors are open for other units to visit as well. “Whether you’re an infantry commander requesting an attack mission on an objective or a veterinarian requesting supplies to be airlifted to a forward operating base, Army Aviation’s motto, ‘Above the Best,’ is not just a bumper sticker, but a mindset that we’re extremely proud of,” said Griffin.

‘Fit to Win’ competition saves JBLE member’s life by Senior Airman Kimberly Nagle 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

As the weight of her feet dragged across the floor, her eyes darkened with bags and the uncontrollable urge to yawn began to overwhelm her, Lisa Guthrie, U.S. Army Training Support Center computer scientist, knew she needed to make a change. With that in mind, Guthrie, who works at Fort Eustis, Virginia, made the life choice to take part in an installationwide fitness competition. Guthrie decided to sign up for the Fitto-Win Challenge, a three-month competition designed to improve participants’ fitness capabilities as well as teach them how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Just like any competition, there must be a starting point. For Guthrie, hers was to first visit a doctor after being encouraged by Fit-to-Win staff to ensure all participants health was appropriate for the various levels of activity. After a medical appointment and sleep study, she discovered she had sleep apnea, a disorder in which one’s breathing continuously stops and starts throughout the night. Guthrie said her persistent exhaustion, frequent loss of breath and inability to lose weight, finally began to make sense. Now equipped with a machine to allow her to breathe properly at night, and the “okay” from her doctor, Guthrie was ready for the initial fitness test. To begin the competition, contestants had to test on blood pressure, weight, body composition, aerobic capacity, strength and flexibility measurements. “At the initial test, I wasn’t even able to complete one of the exercises because my heart rate was too high,” said Guthrie. “I was told if I had kept going, I was at risk of a heart attack, the way my numbers were.” Her performance motivated her to increase her dedication. “I became more aware of what I was doing right and wrong every day,” she said. “Never really realizing my health habits were killing me, I was ready to change all of that.” Guthrie said she took steps to change

her lifestyle and received continued support from co-workers, friends and family, by changing the little things, such as her eating habits and joining a gym. As she adjusted to her new healthy lifestyle, Guthrie recruited her 15 year old son to take part in her efforts to the change. “I had my son join the gym with me, so he could help motivate me and so I could hopefully set a good example. I didn’t want him to think it is normal to sit around and watch TV when you could go out and exercise.” Her son is very involved with his Boy Scout Troop as well as other recreational sports; Guthrie wants to be around for all of that, and not just on the sidelines. “I can tell he notices a difference in me too,” said Guthrie. “Instead of me watching his sport practices, I now walk around the field until he is done. So he is getting his exercise while I can get mine.” Guthrie She did not have a hard time keeping herself on track because she frequently reminded herself that at the end of the three months period, she would have to take a fitness test again. While that scared her, it also kept her motivated. She marked the date on her calendar; Guthrie said she wanted to see it every day as a reminder. As Guthrie looks forward into her healthy lifestyle, she still remembers the hard times. “I could remember when even walking across the parking lot was difficult,” said Guthrie, thinking back on how she would run out of breath from just a short walk. “Now I feel like a new person.” After retesting and receiving her scores, Guthrie learned she had earned third place as a way of showing how improved her fitness level was. She said that she was able to lose at least a pound of weight each week of the competition, in addition to other health benefit changes. “If it wasn’t for this contest, I could easily not be alive,” she said. “I could have snored myself into a heart attack or stroke. I owe the Fit-to-Win office my life.”

Remembering 9/11: Airman reﬂects on childhood memories of Twin Towers Senior Airman Aubrey White 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Two iconic giants pierced the New York sky for nearly 30 years enticing millions of travelers from across the globe who marveled at their beauty. They were hailed as the symbol of “man’s dedication to world peace” and a source of pride for those who called New York home. At 8:46 a.m., Sept. 11, 2001, that testament of harmony turned to discord as hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building. Mayhem ensued. First responders rushed to the scene, weaving between people attempting to escape the madness. It was not until approximately 17 minutes later, when the South Tower was hit, did anyone comprehend that what happened as deliberate. The United States was under attack, and within hours, the peaks of the New York skyline sunk along with the hearts of admirers throughout the world. For U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jasmine Walker, 1st Maintenance Group aircraft maintenance scheduler, the memory of the Twin Towers is a bittersweet reminder of her childhood. “I was in the ﬁfth grade,” the Queens, New York, native recalled of the day of the attack. “I remember our principal walking into our classroom, talking to our teacher and [the teacher] left the classroom crying. Our principal explained to us what was going on and that our parents would come to get us. I remember my mom picking me up and she was crying. I didn’t fully process what was going on. I wasn’t mature enough to understand fully that we were being attacked.” At home, Walker and her younger brother played as her mother frantically called relatives and loved ones who spent their days in Manhattan, with tears streaming down her face. Images of the ravaged towers, the wrecked Pentagon and the thousands of destitute victims replayed on the television.

U.S. Air Force photo by Denise Gould

“I had been to the World Trade Center, my mom used to take me when I was a little girl,” Walker said. “I remember distinctively the Disney store was my favorite and there was a restaurant on the top of one tower that would spin. I have those memories, so seeing that a plane hit it and that it’s no longer there was like ...” The memories nearly rendered her speechless, and all she said she could think was, “How does that happen?” Not until Walker matured did she think to look back on the day’s events. She said one day she found herself searching the Internet for videos of the attacks and asking her mother questions about what happened. “When I watched the replays, I just felt disbelief,” she recalled. “You don’t see that every day and it hits close to home when you live there, you realize that could happen anytime, any day.” “I take pride in being a New Yorker,” Walker declared with a gleaming smile across her face. “I feel pride in being an American, which ties into feeling proud to be an Airman because now I feel like I have a sense of responsibility. Reﬂecting back on 9/11, this could happen again, and I feel like in a way, this happened to my city and I wasn’t old enough to do anything yet. Now that I’m old enough, and if this were to happen again, I’ll have something to do with [defending the nation] even if it’s just a small part and that part makes me proud.” Now, every time she returns home to New York, Walker said the drive into the city evokes a different emotion than what she felt as a child spotting the Twin Towers. “That was New York; [the towers] symbolized our city. You just get goose bumps driving back and [them] not being there anymore. It’s weird.” Although Walker has visited the new One World Trade Center 9/11 Memorial and Museum, she said she appreciates the commemoration, but will always remember the experiences she had with her family at the Twin Towers before Sept. 11, 2001.

The “Tribute in Light” memorial is in remembrance of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, in honor of the citizens who lost their lives in the World Trade Center attacks. The two towers of light are composed of two banks of high wattage spotlights that point straight up from a lot next to Ground Zero.The “Tribute in Light” memorial was ﬁrst held in March 2002. This photo was taken from Liberty State Park, New Jersey on Sept. 11, 2006, the ﬁve year anniversary of 9/11.

F-22s arrive in Estonia U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Public Affairs AIR FORCE NEWS SERVICE

Two F-22 Raptors and a KC-135 Stratotanker arrived at Ämari Air Base, Estonia, Sept. 5. The F-22s and approximately 20 supporting Airmen are from the 95th Fighter Squadron at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. The KC-135 is from the 100th Air Refueling Wing at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England. This forward deployment of the Raptors is part of the inaugural F-22 training deployment to Europe and is funded by the European Reassurance Initiative, which provides support to bolster the security of NATO allies and partners in Europe while demonstrating the U.S. commitment to regional and global security. The F-22s will remain at Ämari AB for a brief period of time before returning to Spangdahlem AB, Germany, to continue their training deployment.

An F-22 Raptor takes off from Amari Air Base, Estonia, Sept. 4, 2015.The F-22s have previously deployed to both the Paciﬁc and Southwest Asia for Airmen to train in a realistic environment while testing partner nations’ ability to host advanced aircraft like the F-22.The F-22s are deployed from the 95th Fighter Squadron at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- Effective Sept. 2, Department of Defense-funded travel to Adana, Turkey (including Incirlik Air Base), for dependents has been suspended, and military and civilian dependents in the region are authorized to depart Turkey, announced Department of State and DOD ofﬁcials. Military and civilian members with approved dependent travel who have not yet out-processed from their current duty stations should contact their local military personnel sections or civilian personnel sections for guidance. Those with approved dependent travel who are already en route to Turkey should contact their losing personnel sections. Airmen can also contact the Total Force Service Center at 800-525-0102 for guidance. To ensure Airmen and their families are accounted for and have access to assistance, the Air Force Personnel Center has activated the Air Force Personnel Accountability and Assessment System. AFPAAS is a web-based application used to account, access, manage and moni-

tor the recovery process for personnel and their families. To account for themselves and their family members, as well as complete the needs assessment (if necessary), members should go to the AFPAAS site and log in with their common access card or user identification and password. The AFPAAS site allows for log in from any computer with user identification and password. The information supplied in the assessment tab in APFAAS will speed up the assistance process to help affected family members.

Army expands planning for cyber future By Kristen Kushiyama CERDEC PUBLIC AFFAIRS

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Sept. 4, 2015) -- The U.S. Army requirements, acquisition, and research and development cyber community met here to collaborate on various cyber initiatives, Aug. 5-7. The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Commandâ€™s Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center, or CERDEC, sponsored the collaboration engagement, which was hosted by the Training and Doctrine Commandâ€™s, or TRADOCâ€™s, Cyber Center of Excellence commanding general, Maj. Gen. Stephen G. Fogarty. â€œThis meeting is intended to build and strengthen partnerships to gain and ensure a common understanding amongst key stakeholders on shared equities in order to achieve efďŹ cient and effective support to the warďŹ ghter in cyberspace operations,â€? Fogarty said. The meeting was a follow-on to an April meeting between the Training and Doctrine Commandâ€™s Centers of Excellence for Intelligence and Cyber, or ICoE and Cyber CoE. â€œMaj. Gen. Robert P. Ashley, former Intelligence Center of Excellence commanding general, and I agreed this past December that a home-on-home between the ICoE and the Cyber CoE was

long overdue,â€? Fogarty said. â€œThe initial two-day home-on-home collaboration engagement was to be between the Cyber COE and ICoE, followed by continued engagements with additional cyber stakeholders.â€? ICoE and Cyber CoE are two key cyberspace stakeholders in TRADOC. The two are tightly aligned on their cyber strategic plan and associated implementations based on Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel and Facilities, or DOTLMPF, assessments, said Patricia Rimbey, CERDEC Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate, or I2WD, liaison ofďŹ cer to and co-located with the Cyber CoE. The cyber and intelligence CoEs train and develop Soldiers and shape Army doctrine for their respective areas, but they engaged additional cyber stakeholders ranging from research and development, acquisition, test and sustainment communities for the home-on-home. â€œThe Army canâ€™t afford to continue to stovepipe solutions in any of its systems, but we especially canâ€™t afford it in our cyber solutions where the environment changes every day and introduces new threats every day. Meetings like these help shape and inform requirements that TRADOC identiďŹ es as cyber needs for Soldiers,â€? said Dr. Paul Zablocky, CERDEC I2WD director. The cyber environment grows and changes rapidly.The Armyâ€™s requirements, acquisition, and research and development cyber community collaborate consistently to keep pace with new and evolving threats.
