When the USS Ohio left port on its first three-month patrol
Oct. 1, 1982, Navy officials hailed the Trident submarine as an
important strategic deterrent to nuclear attack.
The federal government was still in the middle of the Cold War
and contracted ship builders to construct 17 more Tridents sub-
marines for the Navy. The last Trident built, the USS Louisiana,
was commissioned in 1997.
The Cold War is long over but the patrols have continued, and

USS Rhode Island's
FT3 Caleb Auten
prevents tragedy

ollections of that crisp, clear
December night at sea are still
vivid. A million stars shinned
brightly with no city lights
soften their gleam.
The air temperature, he
recalled, was perfect not
too hot and not too cold it
was just a pleasant evening
standing mid-watch lookout
aboard the USS Rhode Island
(SSBN 740).
For a few short minutes
that "seemed like an eternity,"
the situation turned to what
Auten and others would later
refer to as a scene in a horror
movie. In the end, Petty Officer
Auten would lead life-saving
efforts that have earned him
the Navy and Marine Corps
Commendation Medal, which
states:
"In the face of adversity, he
demonstrated the maturity,
level-headedness, and dedica-
tion of a true submarine hero
... Auten's accomplishments,
initiative, perseverance, and
devotion to duty reflect great
credit upon himself and
upheld the highest traditions

The votes have been count-

Lord's radio lanyard caught
itself in the rotating radar
mast.
"I was watching a contact
in the binoculars when the
weapon's officer got my atten-

was caught," Auten recalled.
"I noticed the lanyard had got

reached over to grab it to jerk
it loose but it had already spun
around twice. He (Lord) got
one hand in before it pulled
completely tight!"
Unable to free Lord, Auten's
first move was to dive from the
lookout station under the main
part of the bridge to where the
officer of the deck stands. He
yelled down under the bridge
trunk to secure, rotate and
radiate on the radar.
He yelled again, as loud as
he could.
Auten reached for the
bridge bag in searching franti-
cally for something to cut Lord
loose with. By this time, Auten
noticed Lord's feet were com-
ing off the deck.
"I didn't have time to be
scared. There were too many
thoughts all through my mind,
all at once," Auten said. "I
knew if I didn't get that radar
stopped it was going to be a
very bad situation."
The radar operator heard
Auten's calls, stopping the
rotation. But by that time Lord
was pulled on the top of the
sail and was bent backwards,

Trident submarines remain an important component in nation-
al defense, carrying more than 50 percent of the U.S. strategic
warheads.
Lt. Rebecca Rebarich, a spokesperson at Kings Bay, said the
Navy does not want to identify which submarine will make the
1,000th patrol. Instead, the Navywants the focus to be on all the
Trident submarines.
"This is a commemoration ceremony for that milestone and
not a particular ballistic missile submarine;'," she said.
The USS Rhode Island serves as the "ceremonial representa-
tive" for the 1,000th patrol, Rebarich said.
Former national Navy League President Sheila McNeill said
Trident submarines have demonstrated "solid proof" of their
importance to national defense.
"I think it's important for all of us to celebrate this," she said.


said.
Retired Capt. Mark Kevan, former commanding officer of
Trident Training Facility, said the milestone of 1,000 patrols is
significant.
"The fact you have all these folks coming [for the ceremony]
indicates it's a big deal;'," Kevan said. "The efficiency of that
weapon system is respected throughout the Navy. Its stealth has
always been its strength."
Kevan, who retired in 1995, is the Atlantic Southeast Chapter
president of the Naval Submarine League. He said Trident
submarines will continue to play an important role in national
defense for years to come.
"You still have countries who don't see eye-to-eye with us,"'
he said. "Until all the [nuclear] weapons go away, there is still a
need for them. It's a valuable asset in the Navy."

"It was such a horrible angle
that I thought I'd already
stopped it too late;'," Auten said.
"I grabbed him to see if he was
alright and realized he was not
even awake anymore.
"His body was trying to
breath but it couldn't. I
grabbed the loudspeaker again
and told them to send some-
one to the bridge with a knife

officer's legs to relieve pres-

Finally, help came in

knife. Lord was lowered and
regained consciousness and
started breathing right away.
By this time, the EMT team
had arrived on the scene.


"Petty Officer Auten's life-
saving actions of immediately
summoning help to the bridge
in the middle of the night and
stabilizing my weapons offi-
cer's condition after he was
strangled were absolutely
heroic," said Cmdr. Mark M.
Marty, Commanding Officer,
USS Rhode Island (SSBN

Auten said submariner
training was responsible for
his quick and flawless reac-
tion.
"I believe the training they've
put us through in thinking as
quickly as possible and paying
attention to details definitely
helped a lot in my reaction
time;'," he said.
Lord said he couldn't agree
more.
"It's the mark of the sub-
marine sailor, being able to


respond to an anew situation.
It just shows how well they are
trained to react to situations,"
Lord said. "I'm very grateful
for Petty Officer Auten, and
I'm mostly grateful he's quali-
fied for submarines, meaning
that he has completed a rigor-
ous training process that pre-
pares him for things like this."
Auten was presented the
Navy and Marine Corps
Commendation Medal by
Commander Squadron 16/20,
Capt. Daniel Mack, at Refit
Wharf 2 near the waterfront
Feb. 13.
"I'm not sure I would have
had the presence of mind to
do what Petty Officer Auten
did," Mack said. "We often
read about life-saving heroics
in our heritage. Today, Petty
Officer Auten, you join that
heritage."

enjoyable one.
"We were very happy to
have the admiral here at the
Chaplains' office and aboard
Kings Bay," Jefferson said. "I
found Chaplain Burt to be
down to earth in his personal-
ity and genuinely concerned
about the chaplains and those
they minister to."
Burt said he was impressed
with Kings Bay and the people
who work here.
"I have been to Kings Bay
before, and it is an absolutely
beautiful installation," Burt
said. "The crew here in the
Chaplains' office is second to
none and always does a won-
derful job."
Burt enlisted in the Navy in
May, 1970, and served three-
and-a-halfyears serving on the

Web site focuses on positive role models


Did you have a role
model when you were
growing up? If so,
what was it about that person
that made them a role model?
Do you have a role model
now? What about your chil-
dren, do they have role mod-
els?
What exactly is a role
model?
I recently followed some
online postings about role
models. One young woman,
Herminia, offered this defini-
tion, "True role models are
those who possess the quali-
ties that we would like to have
and those who have affected
us in a way that makes us
want to be better people; to
advocate for ourselves and
our goals and take leadership
on the issues that we believe
in. We often don't recognize
our true role models until we
have noticed our own person-
al growth and progress..."
I want to introduce a Web
site to you, but it is more than
a Web site. It is a mission,
www.greatamericans.com.
Great Americans is a video
portal with its stated mission
to "Tell the stories of the posi-


tive role models of our time."
Let me say, this is a place for
us as military families. Great
Americans is a YouTube-type
portal for the uploading of
videos of great Americans in
uniform serving others and
their country.
Since being introduced to
this site, I have spent many
hours watching videos of
senior citizens in Maine
greeting all returning troops,
the heritage of the Kingsville
Volunteer Fire Department,
the DEA's heroic fight against
drug lords, the humble stories
of the military's Congressional
Medal of Honor recipients


and many more inspiring
stories of heroes and role
models. From DEA officers
to Coast Guard, from NASA
to military videos, you will be
freshly inspired by the vid-
eos of ordinary people doing
extraordinary things.
"The Internet is the most
defining piece of equipment
since Gutenberg's printing
press;'," said Great Americans
President and CEO John
Murphy. "The mission of
Great Americans is be a place
to recognize and promote
patriotism, duty and service
to others and country utiliz-
ing the tools of the Internet.
We hope Great Americans will
encourage others to launch
their own Web site, blog and
Internet show to showcase
these virtues on the Internet."
The vision for Great
Americans started with cre-
ator and executive producer,
Matt Daniels. The concept
for the site comes from his
personal experience as the
son of a single mother, living
on welfare in Spanish Harlem.
Lacking role models in his
own life and family, Daniels
discovered outside role


modes who communicated
ideals and aspirations that led
to his personal success.
The discovery of the influ-
ence of role models led
Daniels' desire to replicate
them for those who lack them
in their personal lives. Learn
his personal story from his
video on Great Americans
(http://tinyurl.com/5qqgcu)
entitled, "Welcome to Great
Americans."
Great Americans launched
on Veteran's Day 2008 and
is growing steadily. You
are invited to join Great
Americans and upload your
videos as well as link to, or
embed videos, from the site.
Take time this weekend to
enjoy the videos and upload
your own.
I do have one warning. You
may want to have tissues at
the ready as you are inspired,
envisioned and refreshed
by these stories of ordinary
people, role models, doing
extraordinary things.

When you can't stop their heartaches


M y daughter is a
Daddy's girl. She is
a pixie of a girl who
will be seven in April. She is
my mini me. She walks like
me, talks like me and looks
like me.
On some days it scares me
to death, and on other days I
find nothing but laughter and
joy. My husband is already
worried about boys, dating
and the thought of her grow-
ing up.
She has my eyes and stub-
bornness. She is a handful
on every level. I can only
blame myself. This little girl
follows her dad everywhere.
She asked to go with him on a
recent deployment, explain-
ing that she could be his
"helper." She talks about her
dad every day. She draws pic-
tures, writes notes to him and
asks over and over, "When
will daddy be home?"
The other night, this little
girl who turns my world
upside down on a daily basis
made me speechless.
I went in to check on her
like I do every night. It was


late, my 9-year-old son was
sound asleep, and I found my
daughter holding her Daddy
Wish Bear. She had a few
stray tears running down her
face. I asked if she was OK.
She said, "No." She then put
her hand over her chest and
said, "Mommy, there is some-
thing wrong with my heart." I
asked, "What do you mean?
Are you OK?" She replied," I
was wishing with my Daddy
Bear and Daddy makes my
heart "beep" (She says beep,
instead of beat) really fast and
it hurts."


I asked her again where
it was hurting, and she said
that her heart "moved up"
and it hurt. She was point-
ing to the base of her neck.
My eyes swelled up, and I too
had that feeling. I realized
that she was talking about the
feeling you get when you are
"all choked up." Your chest
and throat tighten and you
physically hurt. She said that
she couldn't make it stop. I
explained that her heart hurt
because she misses her Dad,
and that when we love some-
one so much, it's hard to be
apart.
"I don't like it', she replied.
I offered to sing to her and
rub her head, promising that
the pain would get better if
I did. So, I sang to her our
own version of You are my
Sunshine and she fell asleep.
I couldn't hold back the
tears once I knew she was
asleep. I hadn't really cried
since my husband deployed.
I've been too busy to cry. But
this moment knocked me
right out of my safe place and
into reality. I sat on her bed


that night questioning the life
we have and how my little girl
who is only six knows what
heartache feels like. I know
that there are other moms
who have questioned the very
same thing.
This is one of the hardest
parts of deployments for us
as mothers. We can't stand it
when something is hurting
our children and we can't fix
it. We can be a positive influ-
ence. We can distract our kids
and keep them busy. We can
love them with all our heart,
but at the end of the day we
can't stop the heartache. We
can only console them and
tell them how much they are
loved, missed and adored.
I know that my husband is
doing the right thing by serv-
ing. He loves his job, and I
support him wholeheartedly.
But, I won't sugar coat it. Even
though most days are great,
some days are near unbear-
able.

Project Sanctuary provides retreat for families


By Sharon Foster
American Forces Press Service

Whether it's sitting around a
campfire roasting marshmal-
lows in the winter or stand-
ing in the middle of a creek
fishing during the summer, a
Colorado troop-support group
is promising a week-long
retreat full of fun and relax-
ation for 80 deserving military
families this year.
Project Sanctuary will give
the military families a five-
night, all-expenses-paid, ther-
apeutic retreat in the Colorado
Rocky Mountains. The retreats
will be co-hosted by the YMCA
of the Rockies at the Snow
Mountain Ranch near Winter
Park, Colo.
"The stress on military
families is enormous," Kristi
Kinnison, director of devel-
opment at Project Sanctuary,
said. "We want to honor and
help these families, relieving
the stresses that they feel as a
result of deployment."
Founded in 2007, Project


Sanctuary began offering mili-
tary retreats in 2008 to support
returning troops by strength-
ening the family as a whole.
Combining medical and
psychological services with
group dynamics, team build-
ing, personal care and cop-
ing skills, these retreats offer
fun, enjoyable, constructive
opportunities for service per-
sonnel to reconnect with loved
ones, while providing support
for positive reintegration into
civilian life, Kinnison said.
Eight retreats are planned
for this year, and 10 to 12
families will go together on
each retreat. Snow Mountain
Ranch allows each family to
have its own cabin and then
join the group at least daily in
a lodge that houses the staff
and volunteers. The lodge is
the central meeting point for
the entire retreat.
"Putting the families togeth-
er helps them to know that
they are not alone;'," Kinnison
said. "Having the families
experience a retreat together


creates lasting support sys-
tems, creating a network with
other families. Another ben-
efit of bringing the families
together helps bring different
service branches together."
The retreats are based on
using leisure, recreation and
play to reduce barriers to par-
ticipation and provide oppor-
tunities where the individual
and families may choose to
participate.
"All retreats will help fami-
lies find peace within every-
day rituals, including prepar-
ing meals and doing dishes,"'
Kinnison said. "In the sum-
mertime, we take families
hiking, white-water rafting,
horseback riding and rock
climbing, [and we also have]
hay rides and roast marshmal-
lows around campfires. In the
winter, families go skiing, tub-
ing [and] snowmobiling, expe-
rience sleigh rides, and build
snowmen. Each family is given
ample time to do their own
thing and the facility is ideal
as it includes many other rec-


reational facilities."
Michelle Bruce, who attend-
ed the retreat last year with her
husband, Air Force Tech. Sgt.
David D. Bruce, and their three
children, said she initially was
skeptical of the retreat.
"We wondered what the
organization was trying to sell,"'
Bruce said. "To our complete
surprise, we truly enjoyed our-
selves. It was so wonderful.
My husband, Dave, had just
returned from deployment, a
week prior to us going. As with
many families, we were having
a bit of a hard time reinte-
grating back to living together.
The retreat was so fun, relax-
ing and romantic for Dave and
me. It was truly life-changing
for all of us."
Michelle Briggs, whose hus-
band, Robert Briggs, is in the
Iowa National Guard's 224th
Combat Engineers, agreed.

nade] entered his [forward

Smoke detector check vital


THE PERISCOPE, NSB KINGS BAY, Thursday, February 19, 2009 3


1 On handling fear


By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff

Your smoke detector or fire
alarm batteries run low, and
it starts to make an annoying
sound.
Do you change the batter-
ies in the alarm or just take
the batteries out to stop the
noise?
Detectors are an important
piece of home-safety equip-
ment and should be kept in
good running condition. It can
save your life.
On the morning of Feb.
8, at Naval Air Station Key
West, a United Stated Coast
Guardsman died in a fire at
an NAS Key West Sigsbee
Park housing unit. There is no
known cause of the fire. But, it
is a reminder and wake-up call
to check your smoke detectors
for functional use.
Officials at Naval Submarine
Base Kings Bay are taking an
aggressive stance on the use of
smoke detectors.
Flyers went out Feb. 11 stat-
ing mandatory smoke alarm
testing and battery replace-
ment would take place Feb. 17.
No exceptions. The Permanent
Party and Navy Gateway Inn


and Suites bachelor quar-
ters took place the following
day on all alarms and detec-
tors. This testing included the
Marine Corps barracks, too.
"We are doing 100 percent
checks in all housing units and
barracks rooms on the base,"


said Paul
Petroski,
Naval
Submarine
Base Kings
Bay housing
director. "It
is going on
region wide.
"We check
the detectors
whenever
we enter a
housing unit
for a trouble
call and after
any change
of occupan-
cy. We have
included


there it is a fire, it is too late to
learn then. "
Naval Submarine Base
Kings Bay Safety Department
has some tips for mainte-
nance of your smoke detec-
tor. Spokesperson Debbie


Simeone has

*Test your smoke
detector once a month.
Press the test but-
ton on your detector
and check that the
device beeps or rings

"It is impor-

ed in your home? There should
be an alarm placed between
any sleeping person and the
rest of the house.
In multi-story homes, fires
on a floor without a smoke
alarm can grow to dangerous
conditions before sufficient
smoke can rise in a stairway to
set off an alarm on the upper
floor. Based on this, most
codes require that additional
smoke alarms be located on
each floor level.
There are a few places where
a smoke alarm should not be
placed. These include kitch-
ens and garages because cook-
ing fumes or car exhaust are
likely to set the alarm off. You
also are note advised to place
them in unheated attics and
crawl spaces because it can get
too cold or hot for the alarm's
electronics to work properly.

n 1933, America was firmly
entrenched in the throes
of the Great Depression.
Franklin D. Roosevelt in his
first inaugural address outlined
in broad terms how he hoped
to govern and how America
could endure this dark time
and once again prosper.
He went on to say the
immortal words of which he is
so well known "the only thing
we have to fear is fear itself."
The most common fear in
the lives of most of us is the
fear of change a new job, a
new situation, what tomorrow
may bring, being afraid of fail-
ure, having doubts about our
own abilities and other nega-
tives attitudes that make us go
backward one step at a time.
The remedy for fear is
knowledge, especially knowl-
edge of ourselves. We begin to
conquer fear when we assess


our goals to find out what we
want and where we are going.
Developing a road map for
our lives gives us confidence
to venture into the unknown.
Often things are not as bad as
they seem and many of our
fears disappear as result of a
little effort, a little discipline
and a little faith.

Recapture Tactics Team at drill


By MC3 Eric Tretter
Periscope Staff
The PBS documentary, The Marines, states: "The frame-
work of leadership taught in the Marine Corps is built
on a belief that Marines have a unique culture, a warrior
ethos that sets them apart"
After two days with Marines from the Recapture Tactics
Team one of drills spent retaking a simulated ship and
the other turning doors into splinters with explosives I
couldn't agree more.
The Marine Corps Security Battalion at Kings Bay and its
mission differ greatly from submariners and their shore-
dutied brethren. Yet within the Marine warrior ethos lie spe-
cific jobs and challenges.
Recently the Kings Bay Marine Recapture Tactics Team,
also known as Close Quarters Battle, spent the day train-
ing at Naval Station Mayport. Housed there is a four-storied
structure full of rooms, hallways, ladder wells and plenty of
hiding spaces. Known as the ship-in-a-box, this shoot house
simulates the RTT mission to recapture an asset or ship.
Pitted against fellow Marines hiding within the bunks, cabi-
nets, a galley and electronics equipment, the entering team's
non-official casualty acceptance rate hovers around 80 per-
cent against waiting and ready opposing forces.
"The nature of the beast at close quarter battle is some-
body's going to get shot, somebody's going to get hurt;'," Staff
Sgt. Brandon Dillard said. "Unfortunately, when it comes to
taking a structure, it's a lot harder to take a structure than it
is to defend one."
Both teams are armed with M4 Carbine rifles with simu-
lation barrels and converted magazines that accept 9mm
cartridges, along with 9mm Beretta handguns. Both weap-


ons carry special rounds that house paint-tipped bullets.
With speeds reaching 500-feet-per-second, the sting felt on
uncovered or lightly protected body parts, such as hands or
limbs, offers a painful, eye-opening jolt.
"With paintball, they shoot wildly, with rolls and crazy
stuff," Dillard said. "With this it's the closest we have to
shooting at something without using live ammunition ... It's
also an adrenaline rush. Nobody wants to get hit by those
things."
They take turns retaking "Unfortuna
the ship-in-a-box, and after
each run, the RTT reviews comes tc
what went right and how to structure, it
improve upon what didn't.
"It's a learning experience," to take a str,
Dillard said. "Even if it is the is to defl
best run we could possibly
make, we still pull the guys Staff Sgt.
aside and say 'you could have
done this faster or done that
differently.' There is always
improvement no matter how many times you go through the
house."
After the drills, members of RTT spend the day at Kings
Bay's EOD range practicing forced entry use of explosives
or breacher-range training. A box truck is quickly unloaded,
tables are setup, and Marines are cutting pieces of plastic,
taping and wiring non-explosive materials and beginning
the process of charge construction.
Meanwhile, Cpl. Graham Yost works shock tube, detona-
tion chord and blasting caps into priming systems. Yost, the
Senior Breacher of the RTT, spent two intensive weeks at

Dynamic Entry School in Quantico, Va., learning the princi-
ples of explosive entry along with the dynamics of a plethora
of charges, among other things. Still, he relies on his 'little
charge bible' with all the information you need to know to
be dangerous" and to assure that things are done correctly.
After the preparations and a safety brief from Navy EOD
range overseers, the Marines are ready to test their crafts-

cture than it The teams form a "stack"
nd one. that falls into a line behind a
protective blast blanket held
Brandon Dillard by the front Marine.
"The purpose is to rehearse
what the CQB team will do
during a combat situation to
breach and make entry into structures;'," Yost said.
The variety of charges and how they are applied for differ-
ent types of entry is daunting. Part of the breacher exercise
is getting comfortable with a rather large explosion and then
heading in its direction. Aside from the sound, debris and
thump in the chest, there can be no hesitation to enter, even
before the smoke is cleared.
Like the ship-in-a-box, the breacher range offers a trial
and error environment that mimics the intensity and anxiety
of what every good Marine in training yearns for the real
thing.

Every Navy member who uses government computers including Sailors, civilians and contrac-
tors are required to complete Network Security Training.


Network Training upcoming


By MC2 (SW) Christopher
Koons
Naval Network Warfare Command
Public Affairs
Chief of Naval Operations
Adm. Gary Roughead has
directed all Navy activities to
conduct a network security
training and awareness day no
later than Feb. 28.
Every Navy member who
uses government computers
including Sailors, civilians and
contractors are required to
complete this training.
The CNO mandated this pol-
icy due to wide-spread non-
compliance with established
guidelines, regulations and
directives concerning the use
of Navy networks and multiple
malware infections that have
recently occurred throughout
the Navy.
"The recent setting of
Information Operations
Condition Level 3 set the
stage for the CNO to mandate
this training," said Lt. Cmdr.
Damen Hofheinz, Naval
Network Warfare Command's
deputy for information assur-
ance.
"It will heighten every-
one's awareness of electronic
threats and the safe comput-


ing practices that are needed
to ensure the security of the
Global Information Grid."
INFOCON is a compre-
hensive defense posture and
response system based on the
number and level of threats
posed to military information
systems.
It has five parts, with
INFOCON Level 5 being the
lowest threat to military net-
works and Level 1 being the
greatest threat condition.
Commands will be required
to conduct training for all
users in the following areas:
removable media, anti-phish-
ing, safe home computing and
personally identifiable infor-
mation handling procedures.
Members also will review
their commander's expecta-
tions regarding user account-
ability and network security.
"Bad practices such as using
thumb drives to transfer data
between domains, not digi-
tally signing e-mails with links
and attachments, and people
opening spam and phishing
e-mails are all areas that will
be addressed," said Hofheinz.
"It will increase awareness of
these practices and the vul-
nerabilities that can arise from


them and will hopefully stop
people from doing them in the
future."
NETWARCOM is scheduled
to conduct its training Feb.
23. Vice Adm. Denby Starling,
NETWARCOM commander,
anticipates that all personnel
will come away from it with
a better sense of what must
be done to increase network
security.
"Recent events have rein-
forced the continuing need
for network operators who are
aware of the threat, are well
trained in network security
guidelines, and whose com-
mand leadership has high
expectations for compliance
and accountability," Starling
said.
"This Focus Day is your
opportunity to improve the
Navy's overall network security
posture by increasing the over-
all level of security awareness
in your organization as well
as ensuring that your subordi-
nate commanders understand
and reflect your expectations
regarding their responsibil-
ity in setting, maintaining and
enforcing the high operational
standards necessary to keep
our networks secure."

Solve disputes without going to court


By Matthew Dursa
LTJG, JAGC, USN


Clients often come to Legal
Assistance Offices because they
have been wronged and want
to sue. Sometimes it is neces-
sary to take someone to court to
get what you are owed.
However, there are disadvan-
tages in going to court. Going to
court will take time, as will the
research necessary to prepare
your case. A trip to court can be
expensive, too. There are filing
fees and court costs, postage
and other expenses that can
quickly add up.
How can you resolve a dis-
pute without going to court?
Let's look at one example. Let's
sayyou paid a contractor $2,000
to fix your leaky roof, and he
never even showed up to try to
repair it.
The first, and most often
overlooked, step is to talk to the


opposing party. Communicate
in writing what your dispute is
and what resolution would be
acceptable. "I paid $2,000 and
have yet to see any improve-
ment in the leak in my roof.
Please return my money or let
me know when you can make
the repairs." Remember, don't
just state the problem. Offer an
acceptable solution.
Another tool you can use is
professional organizations.
Almost every professional is
licensed or regulated by some
agency. Find out who the
appropriate agency is and file a
complaint.
This helps in two ways. First,
too many unresolved com-
plaints against that person
could result in loss of profes-
sional accreditation. Knowing
that a complaint has been filed


with the state licensing board
will encourage the contractor
to resolve the dispute.
Second, some organizations
provide free dispute resolu-
tion services. In our example, a
neutral partywith knowledge of
the contracting business might
listen to your side of the story,
then the contractor and offer a
mediated resolution.
Additionally, you can con-
tact the Better Business Bureau.
The BBB is a network of local
organizations that gather and
report information on busi-
ness reliability, alert the public
to frauds against consumers,
and act as trusted intermedi-
aries between consumers and
businesses to resolve disputes.
Even if the contractor is not a
member of the BBB, they may
still be able to help.
Finally, if you feel the busi-
ness dealing was not just unfair,
but illegal, you should contact


your state's Attorney General.
The AG is the top law enforce-
ment officer and lawyer for the
state. The Attorney General's
office can investigate crimes,
including fraudulent business
practices, and tracks all the
complaints it receives. If our
contractor is driving around the
state collecting money without
doing any work, the AG may
press criminal charges.
Even if these tools don'twork,
and you find yourself in court,
you will be able to tell the judge
that you tried everything pos-
sible to resolve the case without
going to court, which will help
your case. "Your honor, I didn't
want to burden the court with
this problem, but this contrac-
tor was unreasonable about my
complaint and insisted we go
to court."'
Legal assistance attorneys are
available to help. Call them at (912)
573-3959.


Senior defense leaders are
taking a serious and critical
look at the president's fiscal
2010 defense budget request,
Pentagon Press Secretary
Geoff Morrell said last week.
Defense Secretary Robert
M. Gates, the combatant com-
manders, and other civilian
and military leaders from the
Defense Department are dis-
cussing department-related
issues, includ-
ing the bud-

Conference, be as
Morrell said at their a
a news confer- tions a

the request G
to reflect cur- -
rent and future
realities.
"He wants to make sure the
budget balances the demands
of the wars we are currently
fighting and the future threats
we may face," he said. "Of
course, he is acutely aware
that we are crafting this bud-
get in the midst of a global
financial crisis, so it must not
only be militarily responsible,
but also fiscally realistic.
The senior leader confer-
ence is looking at the budget
with this in mind.
"First, we must make tough
choices about programs suf-
fering from serious execu-
tion problems," Morrell said.
"Second, we have to find new
ways of doing business more
efficiently and cost-effectively.
And third, the services must
strive to be as joint in their
acquisitions as they are in
their operations'."
The secretary has said he
wants the combatant com-
manders to explore new ideas.
The secretary often has men-
tioned that military services
must depend on other ser-
vices for capabilities. If one
service is building a capability,
another service does not have
to duplicate it.

Lynn, others assume

DoD leadership posts


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

Just like any other federal
employee, Deputy Defense
Secretary William J. Lynn III
had to in-process through per-
sonnel and take the oath of
office before starting work Feb.
12, Pentagon officials said.
The Senate confirmed
Lynn by a vote of 93-4 the day
before. As deputy secretary
he is responsible for the day-
to-day running of the depart-
ment.
Lynn served as the Defense
Department's comptroller
during the Clinton adminis-
tration.
The deputy secretary
joins three other officials in
President Barack Obama's
administration who have
begun serving in Pentagon
posts: Robert Hale, comptrol-


ler; Michele Flournoy, under-
secretary for policy; and Jeh
Charles Johnson as general
counsel.
The Senate confirmed all
three Feb. 9, and they began
work the next day, Pentagon
officials said.
After leaving the Clinton
administration in 2001, Lynn
was a senior vice president
at the Raytheon Co. Because
he served as a lobbyist for
the defense contractor, Lynn
required a waiver from Obama
before being considered as
deputy secretary. Concerns
about this delayed his confir-
mation.
Lynn will recuse himself
from any Defense Department
decisions pertaining to
Raytheon, the fifth-largest
company doing business with
the department with around
$12 billion in contracts.

















Gates:


military


stretched


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

U.S. forces are stretched,
but they are resilient, Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates said
Feb. 10.
"There's no question in my
mind that the 15-month tours
were very, very hard on our
troops and on their families,"
Gates said during a Pentagon
news conference. "And I
think we moved to get back
to 12 months deployed just as
quickly as we could."
Gates said he hopes to see a
lengthening of the "dwell time"
at home stations between
deployments for servicemem-
bers in the near future.
"We won't go straight from
one year deployed to two years
at home; we'll more likely go
from one year deployed to 15
months at home to 18 months
at home and so on," Gates
said.
"And I think with the growth
in the end strength of both the
Army and the Marine Corps,
the drawdowns likely to come
in Iraq, that we will see that

situation improve over the next
couple of years;'," he added.
The divorce and suicide
rates and post-traumatic stress
are indicators that the force is
stressed. Gates said he believes
those issues are related in part
to repeated tours.
"It's not just the length of the
tour, but the fact that so many
have gone back for two and
three and even four rotations in
Iraq and Afghanistan;'," he said.
But the force is resilient, and
the families strong and sup-


portive, Gates said.
Marine Corps Gen. James
E. Cartwright, vice chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
who accompanied the secre-
tary to the news conference,
also noted the affects of tour
lengths on servicemembers.
Fifteen-month tours took a
lot out of the force, and tours
of that length just ended in
August, he said.
"The cumulative effect is
very important to understand,
No. 1," he said. "And No. 2, we


aren't done with the 15-month
tours they're not home yet."
Cartwright pointed out the
importance of understanding
how servicemembers will be
affected long-term. "What's
the cumulative effect, how
many of these tours, and when
do we start to cross? Is it 15
months at home versus a year
deployed? Is it two years?
"We've got work to do there
to understand this long-term,;'
Cartwright said. "And we're
watching this very closely."


Blair: Economic crisis overlays threats


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

The global economic crisis
colors all other threats con-
fronting the United States,
the new director of national
intelligence told the U.S.
Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence on Feb. 12.
Dennis C. Blair said the cri-
sis raises the level of uncer-
tainty in the world and plac-
es new areas of the globe in
danger. Analysts are trying to
understand the geopolitical
implications of the crisis.
"The crisis has been ongoing
for about a year, and econo-
mists are divided over whether
and when we could hit bot-
tom," Blair said in prepared
testimony. "Time is probably
our greatest threat. The longer
it takes for recovery to begin,
the greater the likelihood of


serious damage to U.S. strate-
gic interests."
The longer the crisis contin-
ues, the more likely the risk of
instability in many areas of the
world including LatinAmerica,
Central Asia and Africa.
The overlay of the crisis
makes known threats, such as
al-Qaida, even more danger-
ous, he said. Extremist Muslim
groups retain the greatest
capability to threaten the
United States and its interests.
Still, there has been prog-
ress countering al-Qaida, in
particular. Blair said the indis-
criminate attacks on fellow
Muslims in Iraq and North
Africa have caused many mod-
erate Muslims to condemn the
group.
Al-Qaida remains a threat in
Afghanistan and Pakistan. The
group portrays itself as aid-
ing Taliban insurgents who are


fighting Western imperialism,
Blair said.
In Pakistan's tribal areas,
the terror group lost many of
its leaders in 2008, he said.
While this has weakened the
group in the area, the group
in Pakistan remains the most
dangerous and continues to
plot against the United States
and U.S. interests from havens
in the region.
In Iraq, al-Qaida has been
severely weakened, but still
retains the ability to launch
occasional attacks, he said.
The terror group is re-
emerging in Yemen. A terror
cell launched an attack on
the U.S. embassy in Sanaa in
September and has launched
19 attacks on Western targets
in the country in 2008.
Blair forecasts more al-Qaida
activity in East Africa, specifi-
cally in Kenya and Somalia.


There are terror groups
beyond al-Qaida. Hezbollah in
Lebanon remains a dangerous
terrorist foe, Blair said. The
group could attack U.S. tar-
gets if it perceives the United
States is threatening its sur-
vival, leadership or infrastruc-
ture. Due to the terror group's
sponsorship by Iran, should
Hezbollah's leaders think the
United States is a threat to its
benefactor, the terror group
may launch attacks on U.S.
interests in the Middle East.
Iran is at the heart of what
Blair calls an "arc of instabil-
ity" running from the Middle
East to South Asia. Blair said
Iran's goal to be a regional
power drives its efforts in
Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, North
Africa, the Persian Gulf and
beyond. It also is at the heart
of the Iranian drive to develop
nuclear weapons, he said.

Discussions within the
administration about the fis-
cal 2010 defense budget have
been cordial and productive,
Defense Secretary Robert
M. Gates said last week, but
department leaders are pre-
pared to make tough choices.
Gates also spoke about
the White House-ordered
Afghanistan strategic review.
Office of Management and
Budget officials said the bud-
get's "top line" will be released
in the next few weeks, with the
complete request coming in
April.
"Irrespective of what the
budget top line ultimately is ...
this department faces difficult
choices among competing pri-
orities and programs," Gates
said. "I believe we must make
those choices:'
The secretary said leaders
are looking at the budget in
terms of efficiencies to be real-
ized, programs with serious
execution issues and strategic
reshaping to make sure the
budget reflects the need to bal-
ance current and future capa-
bilities and the president's pri-
orities.
Since thewars inAfghanistan
and Iraq began, the Defense
Department has received
supplemental appropriations
to cover their cost. Last year,
Congress made it clear that the
predictable war costs should
be placed in the base bud-
get. "The department's budget
proposal put together last year
with a much higher top line
was an attempt to begin this
process," Gates said.
But given the economic
environment, it will not be
possible to do this as fast as
the department would like, the
secretary said. "Nonetheless,


there is broad agreement
that's the direction we should
go, and I'm confident that over
time we will get there," he told
reporters.
The White House has
ordered a strategic review for
Afghanistan. The command-
er of NATO and U.S. forces
there, Army Gen. David D.
McKiernan, has asked for
more military capabilities.
The U.S. contribution would
be between 20,000 and 30,000
additional forces. The review
will not be finished until April,
Gates said, but that does not
mean deployments will halt.
"There is a realization that
some decisions have to be
made before the strategic
review is completed," he said,
"if only because if he does
decide to send at least an addi-
tional brigade combat team,...
the next one to go would need
to be notified pretty quickly."
The secretary said he has
made recommendations to
Obama on the way forward in
Afghanistan. "I think it's a very
constructive, deliberative pro-
cess," the secretary said. "This
is the first time that this presi-
dent has been asked to deploy
large numbers of troops over-
seas, and it seems to me a
thoughtful and deliberate
approach to that decision is
entirely appropriate.:'
Gates said there is no cap
to the number of American
troops that could go to
Afghanistan, but he would
be leery of any deployments
beyond the number of troops
under consideration.

Intelligence planners


keeping eye on Asia


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service

U.S. intelligence planners
predict the 21st century will
be the time for the rise of Asia,
the director of national intel-
ligence said Feb. 12.
Dennis C. Blair told the U.S.
Senate Select Committee on
Intelligence that "China and
India are restoring positions
held in the 18th century when
China produced approximate-
ly30 percent and India 15 per-
cent of the world's wealth."
While the current global eco-
nomic crisis will slow growth
in China and India, the two
countries are likely to become
the world's third and fourth
largest economies by 2025.
China's emergence as a world
power is affecting the balance
of power in Asia, Blair said in a
prepared statement.
While the communist rulers
of China have been successful
in transforming the direction
of the country, the govern-
ment's international behavior
is driven by the need to main-
tain power. Roughly 300 mil-
lion Chinese have benefited
from the economic success,
leaving 1 billion in poverty.
From a military standpoint,
China continues its modern-
ization programs and opera-
tionally Chinese forces are
prepared to move beyond
the region, the admiral said.
Chinese troops may soon take
part in United Nations peace-
keeping operations.


On the equipment side,
China continues to develop
new, increasingly accurate
missile capabilities that can
reach U.S. forces throughout
the region. China is developing
a robust anti-satellite capabili-
ty, and Blair said this is among
the nation's highest military
priorities. The Chinese also
are modernizing their nuclear
weapons capabilities.
Blair also spoke of India,
which is harnessing free mar-
kets after decades of trying to
manage the economy.
From a foreign policy and
intelligence standpoint, rela-
tions with Pakistan dominate.
The terror attack on Mumbai
in November chilled rela-
tions between the two powers.
Pakistan has vowed to crack
down on extremists who used
Pakistan to plan and train for
the attack that crippled India's
major financial center and
killed more than 130 people.
In Asia, North Korea is the
odd-man out. In a region that
reaped the benefits of eco-
nomic growth, North Koreans
are starving, and the govern-
ment is pouring money into
the military.
Blair said the U.S. intelli-
gence community believes
North Korea is operating a
covert uranium enrichment
program. While the country
has nuclear weapons, Blair
said he did not think North
Korea would use them unless
faced with a military defeat or
loss of control.

Marine General pushes for ability to fight irregular wars


By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service
The U.S. military boasts
dominant nuclear and con-
ventional capabilities, but
must improve its capacity to
fight irregular wars, NATO's
supreme allied commander
for transformation said.
Marine Corps Gen. James N.
Mattis, who also serves as the
commander of U.S. Joint Forces
Command, said the United
States has lost some of its nucle-
ar and conventional war edge in
recent years, but remains supe-
rior on these fronts.
"We are not superior in
irregular warfare," he said in
a speech at the Foreign Policy
Research Institute here. "And
that's what we've got to be."
Mattis discussed the need
for the U.S. military to trans-
form to a "hybrid" force that
expands its nonconventional
means without sacrificing clas-
sic warfighting competence.
Broadly defined, irregu-
lar warfare refers to conflict
with an enemy that does not
organize as traditional mili-
tary. In the cases of Iraq and
Afghanistan, this fighting
entails stealthy attacks such
as roadside bombings and


Old foe not yet totally out of picture


By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
Russia's perceived strengths and its
policies, tensions in Eurasia, Caucasus
and Central Asia and instability in the
Balkans all pose challenges to U.S. inter-
ests in Europe, the director of national
intelligence said.
Dennis C. Blair, a retired Navy admi-
ral, told the Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence that Russia continues
to rebuild its military and, as events in
Georgia last year show, use those forces
to impress on the world that the nation
is still relevant.
"Russian challenges to US interests
now spring more from Moscow's per-
ceived strengths than from the state
weaknesses characteristic of the 1990s,"


ambushes, instead of direct
engagement.
In calculating how to estab-
lish greater balance among
the two types of warfare, the
general said, he noticed a
common thread among past
armies that morphed to meet
a new set of challenges.
"Every military that trans-
formed, that changed, that


Blair said in prepared testimony.
"U.S. involvement in Iraq and
Afghanistan and general anti-
Americanism have created openings for
Russia to build alternative arrangements
to the US-led international political and
economic institutional order," he said.
Russia is attempting to increase its
ability to influence events, he said,
by "actively cultivating relations with
regional powers, including China, Iran,
and Venezuela." The United States and
Russia can continue to work some issues
together, Blair said, but other issues, such
as NATO enlargement and European
Missile Defense, will pose difficulties.
The former Central Asia soviet social-
ist republics Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan

basis of one thing," he said.
"They identified a problem
and solved it."
These historical precedents
are relevant today because the
fundamental nature of war is
unchanging, he added.
"If I was to sum up every-
thing I've learned in 35 years
of wearing this uniform, I'd do

"Energy helped make Kazakhstan a
regional economic force, but any sus-
tained decline in oil prices would affect

The Balkans are the greatest threat to
stabilitywithin Europe, Blair said. Kosovo
could be a flashpoint. The new country is
effectively divided into a Serbian ethnic
majority north and a Kosovar-Albanian
south. Even as Serbia's government in
Belgrade seeks to align itself more close-
ly with the European Union and NATO,
it will not compromise on Kosovo.
There is also continued shakiness in
Bosnia-Herzigovina and the future of the
nation as a multi-ethnic state remains in
doubt, Blair said.


it with three words: improvise,
improvise, improvise. And the
more we anticipate, the more
we try to get it right ahead
of time, the less we have to
improvise in combat;'," he said.
To help quantify problems
the military may face over
the next quarter century, offi-
cials developed the idea of the
Joint Operating Environment.


This conceptual battlefield
takes into account potential
threats born out of competi-
tion for resources, econom-
ics, increased urbanization
and the possibility of nonstate
actors obtaining more deadly
weapons.
Joint Forces Command
released its findings in
December in a report called


Joint Operating Environment
2008. A follow-on docu-
ment, known as the Capstone
Concept, createdwith approval
from Navy Adm. Mike Mullen,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, will guide how U.S. joint
forces are implemented.
"Today's challenges and
threats are not strictly military
in nature, solved or countered
by military means alone,"
Mullen said last month. "We
owe future generations a lon-
ger-term view of security. The
concept is designed to help
military and other national
security leaders think about
challenges and opportunities"
Mattis said one certainty
is that the United States will
fight 21st century war among
"hybrid conditions" and
emphasized the need to main-
tain focus on the mixed-type
of warfare and to make irregu-
lar war a core competency.
"If we don't set up some kind
of magnet to pull the [Defense]
Department out of its good old
'mano-a-mano' conventional
war focus, then we won't shift
the budgeting, we won't shift
the focus over where it has
to go," he said. "Really, we're
going to have to be able to
fight hybrid enemies."

Regiment.
"Whenwe started filmingthe
movie, I thought the American
people should be the main
character," said Strobl, who
retired in 2007 and co-wrote
the screenplay. "That's why
I wrote it the reaction of
the American people who wit-
nessed the journey along the
way."
Actor Kevin Bacon portrays
Strobl in the movie, and also
made an appearance at the
premiere.
"I was amazed and sur-
prised I didn't know anything
about it and had no idea about
the [escorting] process," Bacon
said. "I liked that it was a sim-
ple telling of Mike's journey
with Chance. It doesn't really
hit you over the head. It kind
of sneaks up on you, and the

Anchored But Not
Away helps spouses
Being a military spouse is
a unique experience filled
with joys and heartaches that
many people will never know
or understand. The pride that
you have as a military spouse
is weighed against the pain of
separation. Deployments can
be tough for many military
families, which is what sparked
a new workshop for spouses of
deployed or deployable ser-
vice members at the Fleet and
Family Support Center. The
class, Anchored But Not Away
... A Spouse's Deployment
Survival Guide, will address
the difficulties and expecta-
tions that many spouses and
their families experience
during the deployment pro-
cess. Some of the areas that
will be discussed during the
class will include managing
life's challenges, emotional
cycles of deployment, prepa-
ration tips, communication
and homecoming, to name a
few. Additionally, the class will
provide information regarding


accumulative effect of watch-
ing the process and the way
people reacted along the trip
is what I responded to as an
actor."
To prepare for the role, his
third time portraying a Marine,
Bacon said, he met with Strobl
on several occasions.
"I try my best when play-
ing Marines to pay attention
to detail and try to human-
ize them as much as possi-
ble'," Bacon said. "People who
aren't in the military some-
times find it tough to look past
the uniform."
After the movie, spectators,
who included Army Chief of
Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr.,
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.
Norton A. Schwartz and Vice
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff Marine Corps Gen. James

Chesty Puller



statue planned


By Cpl. Daniel Lutz
Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton

More than three decades
after his death, the Marine
Corps has found something
that may even
be too heavy y \
for his famous
chest.
A monument
is being built
for the late Lt.
Gen. Lewis B. Puller
"Chesty" Puller
to commemo-
rate his 37 years of service to
the Corps.
"It should only take a year,
from the time we raise the
funds required, for the sculp-
tor to complete the work,"
said retired 1st Sgt. Jim
Barnett, Chesty Puller Statue
Committee.
A spot has been selected for
the statue in Semper Fidelis
Memorial Park, in Triangle,
Va., next to the National
Museum of the Marine Corps.
Puller's monument will be
placed in the same park as
the 13th Commandant of the
Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John A.
Lejeune's monument, as well
as other figures from Marine
Corps history.
The design for the statue
depicts Puller standing beside
a Marine carrying a radio and
a rifle. The uniform Puller is
wearing on the statue places
him in either World War II or


CRIMINAL MILITARY DEFENSE

We are here for Article 15s and Courts-Martial.
We also advise on LORs, demotions, discharges,
and other UCMJ or adverse administrative actions.

the Korean War, the two con-
flicts he served in with distinc-
tion.
On the front of the four-foot
granite base are the 1st, 2nd
and 3rd Marine Division logos.
On one side of the base will be
a list of Puller's decorations,
and on another will be the
logo for the Seagoing Marine
Association, which is funding
the project.
"We only went through basi-
cally one design for the statue,
which wasn't very different
from the one we have now.
The original had one other
Marine and a palm tree, but
we took those out to better
fit in with the overall look,"
Barnett said.
Along with being one of the
most recognized figures in
Marine Corps history, Puller
is one of the most decorat-
ed as well. His most notable
achievements include earning
five Navy Crosses, the second
highest decoration award-
ed by the Navy and Marine
Corps. Among his other acco-
lades are two Legion of Merit
medals with combat-distin-
guishing devices, the Bronze
Star with combat-distinguish-
ing device and a Presidential
Unit Citation with four bronze
stars. Puller also received the
United Nations Service Medal,
the Korea Presidential Unit
Citation with Bronze star and
the Republic of Korea Ulchi
Medal with gold star.

The Submariner

Only a submariner realizes to what extent an entire ship depends
on him as an individual. To a landsman this is not
understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to
comprehend, but it is so!

A submarine at sea is a different world in herself, and in
consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the
submarines, the Navy must place responsibility and trust in the
hands of those who take such ships to sea.

In each submarine there are men who, in the hour of emergency or
peril at sea, can turn to each other. These men are ultimately
responsible to themselves and each other for all aspects of
operation.

This is perhaps the most difficult and demanding assignment in the
Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as a submariner that
he can escape the grasp of responsibility. His privileges, in view
of his obligations, are most ludicrously small; nevertheless it is the
spur, which has given the Navy its greatest mariners the men of
the Submarine Service.

It is a duty, which most richly deserves the proud and time-
honored title of..
SUBMARINER

friends and family!

Mullen


cites top


challenge

By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service


Weak governance, particu-
larly in light of upcoming elec-
tions, poses the most immedi-
ate and pressing challenge in
Afghanistan, Navy Adm. Mike
Mullen, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said Feb. 10.
Mullen offered his assess-
ment after a day of sessions with
Canadianmilitaryleadersabout
the NATO-led International
Security Assistance Force mis-
sion and other issues of mutual
concern.
Speaking at a joint news con-
ference with Canada's chief of
the defence staff army Gen.
Walter Natynczyk, Mullen
praised Canada's "extraordi-
nary efforts" in Afghanistan,
and called that continued sup-
port over the next couple of
years "absolutely vital:'
Canada's leadership in
Regional Command South
has made "a huge difference,"
Mullen said, and helped to
improve the lives of the Afghan
people.
"I have said it many times
before: the U.S. military can-
not do it alone, and we cer-
tainly cannot do it without our
Canadian brothers and sis-
ters," he said.
Mullen called governance his
No. 1 concern in Afghanistan,
as well as the corruption that
he said is hindering progress.
What's needed, the chair-
man said, is a surge of civilian
capability to help to build gov-
ernance at the local, district,
provincial and national levels.
"That's our biggest shortfall,"
he said.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Walt Natynczyk, Canadian
chief of Defense, address the media during a press conference in Ottawa, Canada Feb. 10.


Canada has about 2,800 sol-
diersinAfghanistan, mostoper-
ating in Kandahar province.
While these troops are helping
to improve security and build
capacity within Afghan secu-
rity forces, Natynczyk said, he
shares Mullen's view that the
more pressing immediate gap
is governance.
"What's missing is a pub-
lic service that makes the
machinery of government
actually function," he said.
Natynczyk praised the 800
82nd Airborne Division sol-
diers who joined the Canadian
forces in Afghanistan last
summer and brought much-
needed additional capability,
and he said he looks forward
to additional U.S. troop rein-
forcements.
These troops, Natynczyk
said, will "enable us to con-
tinue to not only secure an
area and then do the build, but


also then to hold something
we have had a challenge with,
with the lack of forces on the
ground:'
Mullen emphasized that
no decisions have yet been
made regarding the request
by U.S. Army Gen. David D.
McKiernan, commander
of NATO and U.S. forces in
Afghanistan, for up to 30,000
additional troops. If President
Barack Obama approves their
deployment, they most likely
will operate in the east and
south, "which is where securi-
ty is the poorest for the people
and the biggest demand exists
in providing that security," he
said.
The outcome of Obama's
strategic review of operations
in Afghanistan, he said, will
"put us all in a position to put
significant, coordinated, syn-
chronized steps forward."
Mullen said he did not


discuss Canada's plans to
withdraw its forces from
Afghanistan in 2011.
"Clearly, combat forces who
are there that make a differ-
ence are absolutely critical,;'
he said. "I am aware that 2011
is out there, but I have literally
not discussed that policy or
the impacts of it ... with gov-
ernment leaders here today."
Natynczyk said his govern-
ment has made its marching
orders clear: Canada's military
mission in Afghanistan will
end in 2011. "We are focused
on the here and now for the
next few rotations from now
through 2011," he said.


Special Operations


crucial in future


By Army Staff Sgt. Michael
J. Carden
American Forces Press Service

When he thinks about the
future and evolution of the U.S.
military, characteristics of spe-
cial operations forces comes
to mind, the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
NavyAdm. Mike Mullen told
an audience attending the 20th
Annual Special Operations/
Low-Intensity Conflict sym-
posium banquet that the
lethality, precision and small
footprint that makes Special
Forces lighter, faster and more
agile is the direction in which
the U.S. military is heading.
'All of our military has to
adapt those of kinds of quali-
ties and characteristics,"
Mullen said. "That's where
[the military] is, and that's
where we're going."
The qualities special opera-
tions forces bring to the table
are consistent with the rea-
sons Iraq has made such a
turnaround over the past year,
the admiral said.
Success isn't always deliv-
ered through combat, Mullen
explained. Adapting, learning
and understanding the cul-
ture makes the mission more
than simply executing com-
bat operations. Enabling the
Iraqis to help themselves by
training their security forces as
well as assisting them in their
governance and infrastructure
needs brought the country


back on its feet, he said.
"It's not just about warfight-
ing," he continued. "It's engage-
ments and relationships and
presence ... as opposed to
waiting until something hap-
pens [resulting] in conflict:'
Though much of the Defense
Department's resources and
manpower are focused on Iraq
and Afghanistan, the military
continues to allocate special
operations efforts globally,
such as in Paraguay and the
Philippines, to stay one step
ahead of terrorism.
Mullen said that continuing
to engage persistent conflicts
around the world by sup-
porting nation-building and
military training may prevent
future warfare.
"While we see things
improve in Iraq and see things
get tougher in Afghanistan,
we need to keep our heads
up over the horizon and look
down the road at what's next,"
he said. "Persistent conflict has
been with us in various ways
- it causes us to be engaged.
'What's next?' is the question
we all need to be asking."
Mullen reassured the audi-
ence that the Special Forces
community would continue to
grow in numbers regardless
of increasing budget pressures
on the Defense Department
for reduced spending. The
demands for their skills are
too high to trim down those
assets, especially in the midst
of economic crisis, he said.

Jones: Cold War models obsolete in today


's


world


By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service
The U.S. National Security
Council and NATO must break
out of their Cold War designs
and adapt to 21st century
challenges, National Security
Advisor James L. Jones said
last week.
Speaking at the 45th Munich
Conference on Security Policy
in Munich, Jones underscored
the need for the council and
NATO to continue adjusting to
the modern security climate.
"To be blunt, the institu-
tions and approaches that we
forged together through the
20th century are still adjusting
to meet the realities of the 21st
century," he said. "The world
has definitely changed, but we
have not changed with it."
Jones, a retired Marine gen-
eral who President Barack
Obama tapped to head the
NSC, said the symmetric and
conventional global security
arrangement that existed dur-
ing the Cold War has yielded
to a host of broad and diverse
challenges. Threats now
encompass the realms of eco-
nomics, energy, asymmetric
warfare, narco-terrorism and
weapons proliferation, which
are exacerbated by porous
borders and a more rapid pace
of life.
"It is hard to overstate the
differences between the 20th
and the 21st centuries," he
said.
Jones said the president's
national and international
security approach identifies

Marine Corps Gen. James L. Jones, responds to reporters' questions during a press conference
in this file photo.


the following key problems:
STerror and extremism have
taken many lives on many con-
tinents across the globe;
The ongoing struggle in
Afghanistan and the activity
along the Pakistani border is
an international security chal-
lenge of the highest order;
The spread of nuclear,
chemical, biological and
cyber-technologies that
could upset the global order


and cause catastrophe on an
unimaginable scale is real and
is pressing;
Overdependence on fos-
sil fuels endangers security,
economies and the health of
the planet;
Protracted tribal, ethnic
and religious conflicts consti-
tute a major concern;
Poverty, corruption and
disease stand in the way of
progress and cause great suf-


fering in many parts of the
world;
Narco-terrorism provides
the economic fuel for insur-
gencies; and
mAn economic crisis erodes
the foundations of strength.
"To move forward, we must
understand the terms nation-
al security and international
security are no longer limited
to the ministries of defense
and foreign ministries," Jones


said, referring to the era in
which the strategic environ-
ment was "fairly consistent
and predict-
able."
Accordingly, "Giv
Jones said, he
plans to model neX
the NSC after terrc
Obama's desire extre
for the United drug
States to use
balance and prol,
integrate all tion, I
elements of
national influ- not
ence. These failL
include mili- Afghai
tary, diplo-
macy, the U.S. Gen. Ja
economy and Natio
intelligence,
law enforce-
ment, cultural
outreach and
moral leadership.
"Given this role, the NSC is,
by definition, at the nexus of
that effort," he said. "It inte-
grates on a strategic sense
all elements of our national
security community towards
the development of effective
policy development and inter-
agency cooperation."'
Jones said the NSC's mis-
sion is to perform the func-
tions that it alone can perform,
serving as a strategic center
for the president's priorities.
To achieve this end, he said,
the council must be strategic,
highly coordinated, transpar-
ent, agile and adaptive.
Jones, a former NATO
supreme allied commander
for Europe, said international

partnerships must change to
adaptto modern-daychalleng-
es, and NATO must become
more essential
to the collec-
?n the tive security of
FS of its partners.
"We know
r and that NATO is a
7nism, strong alliance,
and perhaps the
strongest the
era- world has ever
e can- known," he
said. Its capac-
ffOrd ity does not
re in just come from
istan." the strength
of its arms, he
ies Jones explained, but
al Security from the endur-
Adviser ing democratic
values that
bind its nations
together and
from the commitment that
ensures collective security.
"But I also know this: NATO
must also change," he contin-
ued. "It needs to become less
reactive and more proactive.
I think it needs to become
less rigid and more flexible. It
needs to become less station-
ary and more expeditionary."
Jones said NATO's involve-
ment in Afghanistan poses
an enormous task for the alli-
ance, and that Obama is work-
ing closely with NATO, Afghan
and Pakistani officials to forge
a comprehensive strategy.
"Given the nexus of terror
and extremism, drugs and
proliferation, we cannot afford
failure in Afghanistan," he
said.
