Ambassador visits CRSFby Airman 1st Class Trevor Rhynes 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg, his Deputy Chief of Mission, representatives from the Logistics Readiness Group and the Logistics Readiness Division of U.S. Air Forces in Europe visited the Central Regional Storage Facility in Sanem, Luxembourg Tuesday.

Robert A. Mandell, appointed as the Ambassador to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in November, was given the opportunity to see the facility that provides a large part of equipment USAFE contributes to U.S. Africa Command, Central Command and European Command.

“Last year the site at Sanem aided in the support of 22 operations in 23 nations, including support to operations Odyssey Dawn and Unifi ed Protector,” said Maj. Wes Wenzel, commander of the 86th Materiel Maintenance Squadron, which oversees site opera-tions. “The partnership between the men and women of the 86th MMS and the team at Sanem directly contributed to the success of those operations.”

The CRSF has more than 800,000 square feet of storage where it holds 85 percent of the war reserve mate-rial maintained by the 86th Material

Management Squadron.Mandell was impressed with the

capacity of the CRSF.“The facility is very impressive,”

said Ambassador Mandell. “It pro-vides a large amount of material that troops need while deployed.”

The Ambassador also added that he is impressed with the skill level of employees at the CRSF.

Employed through the warehouse service agency, they routinely inspect, repair and supply equipment from the facility.

Mandell believes the facility is important for a partnership with an allied nation.

“It’s good to work with an allied nation concerning something that supports a large mission like this,” said Mandell. “It is a great way to strengthen our relationship with the government of Luxembourg.”

The Ambassador was appreciative of the opportunity to see what the only U.S. Defense presence in Luxembourg has to offer.

“This visit was important for me because now I have a much bet-ter understanding of what this facil-ity is capable of,” said Ambassador Mandell. “With this understanding I am better able to work with the Luxembourg Government on how to manage this space.”

Airlift reaches 70 year anniversaryby Airman 1st Class Trevor Rhynes86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Today, the 86th Airlift Wing hits its 70 year mark at Ramstein.

The wing originated as the U.S. Army Air Forces 86th Bombardment Group (Light) dur-ing World War II and has gradually

evolved from a bombardment wing in 1942, to a tactical fi ghter wing in 1969, into the 86th Airlift Wing July 21, 1994, that we know today.

Established Jan. 13, 1942, the mis-sion of the 86th BG(L) was to provide air support for soldiers who fought in areas like North Africa, Italy and Southern Germany during World War II.

During that time, the 86th earned numerous awards.

Airmen from the wing have earned awards such as the Distinguished Unit Citation, earned in World War II, to the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for Exceptionally Meritorious Service award, earned seven times out of the last 10 years. One of those seven was earned with valor.

The awards were able to be earned by participating in support of various operations.

The wing’s primary mission now is to provide airlift support to the U.S. European Command and our Joint and Combined partners.

In the last 10 years alone, the 86th Airlift Wing has participated in

No ARIs…no excuses…drink responsiblyby Brig. Gen. C.K. Hyde86th Airlift Wing commander

Alcohol-related incidents are a serious issue for our Airmen, families and local community. ARIs directly affect our ability to conduct our military mission, disrupt unit manning and

productivity, and create additional burdens on unit leadership.

Airmen can and must make responsible choices involving alcohol consumption. ARIs are avoidable ― the circumstances leading up to them are directly shaped by our choices. We must make responsible choices, and our deci-sions must reflect “service before self.” No excuse can justify the behavior that negatively impacts our mission, people and community. Therefore, our bottom line is: “No ARIs…no excuses…drink responsibly.”

Our first pillar for combating ARIs is Mission Focus. ARIs directly impede mission success by creating additional workloads such as inves-tigations, medical attention and disciplinary proceedings, thereby distracting us from our mission.

ARIs result in harmful and costly conse-quences, including the death of our Airmen. We must discuss the negative impact of alcohol abuse on mission accomplishment.

Questions we should all consider: Who depends on me? What is my role in mission accomplishment? Does my alcohol use make me less dependable or impact my unit’s mission?

Our second pillar for defeating ARIs is Taking

Care of Each Other. We must reinvigorate the wingman concept. A wingman should never be our excuse for irresponsible choices and behaviors. Wingmen must step in before a situ-ation escalates and help ensure right decisions are made in the first place. Most importantly, Airmen should not make choices that put their wingmen in vulnerable or risky positions.

Questions we should all consider: Am I a good wingman? Do I make a positive difference as a wingman, leader and warrior? Do I use a wingman as an excuse to abuse alcohol and put my wingman at risk?

Finally, our third pillar for eliminating ARIs is Personal Accountability. Personal Accountability means taking ownership of our actions and adhering to Air Force standards and core values.

Using the core values as a guide is essential to good decision-making. On- and off-duty decisions have significant impacts on our mis-sion, units and families. Our nation depends on

responsible and reliable Airmen.

Questions we should all consider: Do I value my profession? Do I live up to Air Force core values? Does alcohol undermine my profes-sionalism and commitment to our core values?

We need to be mindful of the high costs of alcohol-related incidents. Last year, our Air Force lost 13 Airmen to fatal accidents involving alcohol, including one Airman from Ramstein. Many Airmen with great potential have ended their careers because they failed to meet their personal responsibility due to poor choices and often-criminal behavior related to the use of alcohol. Our mission, families and communities demand responsible alcohol use. Anything less directly undermines the defense of our nation.

One final question: Do you or someone you know struggle with responsible alcohol use? If so, have the courage to ask for help or inter-vene.

ARIs are not inevitable. We can eliminate or significantly reduce them through Mission Focus, Taking Care of Each Other and Personal Accountability.

NO ARIs…no excuses…drink responsibly.

operations like Iraqi Freedom, where the wing’s C-130s took part in the largest airborne combat insertion since Operation Just Cause in 1989.

In 2010, the wing participated in Operation Enduring Freedom by supporting the Commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. During Operation Odyssey Dawn, the wing

participated by helping to protect the Libyan people.

The wing has built a large foun-dation of success, which it hopes to continue.

“The 86th Airlift Wing has a rich

history spanning 70 years,” said Silvano Wueschner, the 86th Airlift Wing’s historian. “Given our current tempo we will be sure to add signifi-cantly to that heritage in the years to come.”

ANNIVERSARY, from Page 1

by Maj. Paul D. Baldwin3rd Air Force Public Affairs

When Chief Master Sgt. Craig Adams gradu-ated from high school in 1985 in Tiffin, Ohio, he spent a little more than a year deciding his job opportunities and col-

lege options. Then one day a friend came to his house and asked if he wanted to go to the Air Force recruiter. His brother had already been in the Air Force for almost two years and seemed to enjoy it. So, Adams agreed to go.

“Out of high school I had no idea I was coming in the Air Force,” said Adams, the new 3rd Air Force command chief master sergeant since November. “The funny part is I’m the one who ended up com-ing in the Air Force and my buddy didn’t. And here I am 24 years later and it’s been the best thing that ever happened to me.”

The position here is Adams’ third time as a com-mand chief. He previously served as a command chief for the 15th Expeditionary Mobility Task Force at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., and for the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.

Adams traveled all around the world after leav-ing Tiffin, Ohio, a city with a population just under 20,000. In that time, his success has come from being ready, loyal and doing his best every single day. This outlook is what he believes makes the Air Force great, he said.

“I think it’s extremely important that all Airmen are ready,” he said.

For Adams, this includes being the technical expert, keeping training requirements current, tak-ing care of personal affairs, being physically fit and completing professional military education.

Adams said he believes being ready is important for the Air Force to execute its airpower mission.

“We need to be a full up round,” the chief said. “Airmen must be ready to deploy and must mini-mize potential life stressors.”

The ready Airman is also loyal to fellow service members, Adams said. The Air Force calls this being a wingman, and the chief is adamant that tak-ing care of oneself, one’s family and other Airmen is derived from courage.

“Being a wingman is much more than just being a best friend or a buddy,” he said. “Loyalty is about knowing when to engage when things may get uncomfortable. It’s about having the courage to step in when something is unsafe, to ask for help for yourself, your family or for somebody else if necessary.”

One would think Adams’ success in the Air Force came from some huge turning point in his career, a once in a lifetime opportunity, or by being in the right place at the right time. But this is not the case, the chief said. His career path in the Air Force was really made possible by doing his best every day.

“Do your best every single day. It’s all you can do, but you have to do it,” Adams said. “Not every day is going to be a banner day. However, if you hang up your uniform at the end of your shift and you can say you did your best, then I think that’s a lot to be proud of.”

Adams has seen a lot of changes in the Air Force throughout his 24 years of service.

“One thing is for certain: change is constant,” Adams said. “Change is a challenge we all face and will continue to face in the future.”

But even though change is the norm, Adams said he believes the current generation of Airmen is ready for whatever comes next.

“The reason we continue to succeed and remain the best Air Force in the world is because of the con-

tributions of every Airman down to the most junior member,” the chief said. “We have the best we’ve ever had right now. And we’re the best we’ve ever been. Even with a smaller force we’re smarter and we’re motivated. No matter what is thrown at our Airmen they are getting it done.”

As it turns out, Adams’ brother is still in the Air Force and a fellow chief. One begins to wonder if there wasn’t something in the water in Northern Ohio after all. Adams’ parents have a lot to be proud of.

But Adams is hesitant to take too much credit. He insists he got here by doing the little things and staying ready, with the support from mentors, lead-ers, family and friends.

“I’ve never held the key to the next door,” he said. “I just try to do my best every day. I literally take everything one step at a time.”

Borrowing a quote from a friend, Adams said this about his service: “There was a time when I was in the Air Force, and then one day I realized the Air Force was in me. It’s changed my life, been my career and I feel very fortunate.”

Metamorphosis of a Soldierby 2nd Lt. Chaz Deering635th Movement Control Team

The 39th Transportation Battalion honored 36 noncommissioned offi-cers during a recent

induction ceremony on Ramstein, recognizing a junior Soldier’s accomplishments and evolution as a leader.

The rite of passage for newly pro-

moted NCOs is not an easy one, said the 16th Sustainment Brigade’s com-mand sergeant major.

“The transition that you are about to make and the journey you are about to embark on is what I con-sider the most difficult in the Army. This will be an ever evolving process that you will diligently work at,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Ismael Rodriguez. “This metamor-phose that you are undertaking, that

of a Soldier to an NCO, a follower to a leader, is the very core of what makes us the back bone of the Army.”

Command Sgt. Maj. Walton Jones, the command sergeant major of the 39th Trans. Bn., commenced the cer-emony by demanding all the doors in the room be shut in order to prevent the symbolic ceremony from being disturbed.

The custom has remained a tra-

dition historically for the NCO Corps. Jones led the final charge of inducting the Soldiers into the NCO corps.

“A military ceremony is not ours. It’s not yours even if you are the sole reason for the ceremony,” Rodriguez said. “The ceremony belongs to all Soldiers. This is a simple tradition of our Army, packed with a power stimulus of Soldiers and future lead-ers.”

During the month of January, the Ramstein Optometry Clinic will be offering glaucoma screen-ings to all Tricare beneficiaries.

The air puff test, officially known as non-contact tonometry, will be offered on a walk-in basis from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Mondays. This test is strictly done as a glaucoma screening and does not replace a complete eye exam.

Q: What is glaucoma?A: According to the American Optometric

Association, glaucoma is a group of eye disorders leading to progressive damage to the optic nerve and is characterized by loss of nerve tissue resulting in loss of vision.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the U.S.

Q: What are the signs and symp-toms of glaucoma?

A: Glaucoma is a very dangerous disease of the eye because most often it presents with little or no signs or symptoms. Severe cases of glaucoma may present with eye pain, loss of vision, nausea or decreased periph-eral vision.

The sooner we can detect glau-coma, the easier it is to manage and the less chance for complications, therefore it is important to have com-plete routine eye exams every one to two years.

Q: Are there different types of glaucoma?

A: Yes, there are many different types of glau-coma.

Primary open angle glaucoma is the most com-mon type of glaucoma and is caused when too much pressure accumulates in the eye. Angle closure glau-coma is considered a medical emergency and can cause permanent vision loss if not treated with a few hours of onset.

Normal tension glaucoma can occur even though intraocular pressures are within normal limits. This type of glaucoma is impossible to detect with only

the air puff test. This demonstrates why it is neces-sary to have a complete eye exam performed by an eye doctor routinely. Many other secondary types of glaucoma can be caused by health conditions, eye diseases, previous trauma, etc.

Q: What are the risk factors for glaucoma?A: Unlike most diseases, glaucoma is generally

not caused by poor diet or environmental causes. Glaucoma can affect any person at any time. Glaucoma is also known to have some genetic components so a thorough family history is often important.

According to the American Optometric

Association, narrow angle glaucoma is most com-mon in Eskimos, Asians and patients who are far-sighted. It most often occurs in people over age 40, although a congenital or infantile form of glau-coma exists. People with a family history of glau-coma, African-Americans over the age of 40, and Hispanics over the age of 60 are at an increased risk of developing glaucoma.

Other risk factors include thinner corneas, chron-ic eye inflammation, and using medications like steroid eye drops that can increase the pressure in the eyes.

Q: Are there any other ways to test for glau-coma?

A: Aside from the air puff test, Goldman tonom-etry and tonopen are alternative ways to determine intraocular pressure.

These techniques may be considered more inva-sive because the eye must be numbed with eye drops first. Also, finger tensions can be used to mea-sure eye pressure by just feeling the outside of the eyeball over the eye lid. However, these measure-ments are reserved for small children and those who cannot be tested any other way.

Beside intraocular pressure, some other testing may also be used to help diagnose glaucoma.

Q: How do you treat glaucoma?A: If caught early enough it is

fairly easy to treat. Though there is no cure for glaucoma, with today’s advances in medicine, glaucoma can be controlled and managed for a life-time preventing or reducing vision loss.

The normal beginning treatment for non advanced cases could be as simple as using one eye drop every night before bedtime.

More severe cases may require multiple medications and surgery to help lower your intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma could result in peripheral vision loss or complete blindness.

Q: How often should I have my

eyes checked for glaucoma?A: Unfortunately glaucoma is

not preventable, however, the sooner glaucoma is diagnosed, the easier it

is to manage. The American Optometric Association recommends all adults age 18 to 60 have a full eye exam completed every year.

After age 60 it is recommended you have your eyes evaluated annually.

As you can see there are many factors and tests used to diagnose glaucoma.

Ask yourself, “Am I due for my annual eye exam?”

If so, call our appointment line at 06371-86-5762 or 486-5762 to schedule a complete eye exam, or stop by in January for a quick air puff test.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month

Story and photo by Master Sgt. Jim Fisher 17th Air Force Public Affairs

KIGALI, Rwanda ― Air Forces Africa (17th Air Force) Commander Maj. Gen. Margaret Woodward and Command Chief Master Sgt. Michael Grimm led a senior leader engagement team to meet with Rwandan Air Force officials Dec. 14 to 16 here. The team also interfaced with U.S. Embassy offi-cials and their counterparts in the Office of Security Cooperation. The visit was the first AFAFRICA SLE to the central African nation since Woodward took command in June 2010.

The visit was also the second of a pair of engage-ments in the region, with the first stops being Entebbe and Kampala, Uganda, Dec. 12 to 14.

Woodward pointed out that while AFAFRICA is in the process of consolidating with U.S. Air Forces in Europe and 3rd Air Force, a full sched-ule of engagements under U.S. Africa Command continues.

“Even though we are in transition, we continue to move our African partnerships forward,” the general said. “Our mission of engagement, capacity build-ing and pursuing shared interests continues and will continue under USAFE.”

AFAFRICA is scheduled to inactivate later this year as responsibility for supporting AFRICOM transfers to USAFE and 3rd AF.

The commander and her team were hosted by Rwandan Air Force Chief of Staff Col. Joseph Demali. In addition to discussing the way ahead for cooperation between the two air forces, they also visited the genocide museum and were ferried to an air defense site in an MI-17 helicopter. Though the general said she was thrilled to log her first flight in the MI-17, the gravity of cooperation with the RAF was underscored by the visit to the museum.

“It was a great visit. I was honored and grateful for the opportunity to spend time at the memorial. Much of the work we do engagement-wise is done to ensure nothing like the 1994 genocide can ever happen again,” Woodward said. “We came here to work with the Rwandan Air Force, and together with the whole East African community, to ensure peace and stability in the region.”

For Demali, the visit from the AFAFRICA commander was a cause for excitement, as his air force has benefitted much from engagement with the USAF in recent years.

“We have very good cooperation with the U.S. Air Force. Most of us have trained with them,” Demali said.

The colonel, like many of his key staff, has taken part in professional military education in the U.S. ― he is a graduate of the USAF Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.

“The course has helped me to embrace the change in our air force,” he said. “But we have also received instruction via other AFRICOM engagements, the (International Military Education Program) and engagements focused on air safety, maintenance,

air traffic control and pilot training. This has really helped us to grow and organize our young air force.”

Demali was one of 24 air chiefs who attended the 2011 African Air Chiefs Conference in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, in April 2011. His meeting and discussion with Woodward ultimately prompted the visit, he said.

“We met at the conference, which was very well organized and very beneficial. We met many African air chiefs and learned more about how we can work together on air space safety and security. We are looking for more engagements

to further this coopera-tion,” Demali said.

The U.S. Defense Attache to Rwanda, Maj. Chris Hurlburt, said continued cooper-ation between the two nations will bear fruit, as expeditionary force-ori-ented engagements like the African Contingency Operations Training and Assistance have boosted Rwanda’s capability as a peacekeeping force.

“We just conducted our first-ever ACOTA training with the (Rwandan) Air Force,

and the first class graduated about a week ago and will be headed to Darfur in January,” Hurlburt said. “This visit is very significant as it builds a lot of momentum for cooperation between the U.S. military and the Rwandan Air Force.”

The AFAFRICA commander agreed.

“We are both very excited about building on our relationship and it’s really a pleasure to work with such a professional air force,” she said.

Airfield assessment teams work behind the scenes for successful operationsby Senior Airman Katherine Holt86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

It is made of 12 members each with a different Air Force specialty code ready to mobilize in 12 hours.

It includes equipment and manpower to conduct landing zone, airfield, air traffic control and site surveys. It is capable of self-sustained operations for 120 hours to assess and report status of organic command and control, communications, ATC, air-field pavements, infrastructure, force protection and overall airfield conditions to combat commanders to determine suitability for mobility combat opera-tions.

It is the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing’s Contingency Response Group Airfield Assessment Team.

“We have everything you would need to go into an airfield, whether it is a contingency environment or a previously utilized airfield, to make sure every-thing is safe for aircraft to come in,” said Tech. Sgt. Stanley MacDonald, 435th CRG air traffic control-ler and airfield assessment team member. “Our main

Saving AF dollars…and gallonsby Staff Sgt. Warren Spearman86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

In these times of saving money and being envi-ronmentally conscious, the Air Force has taken steps to implement both measures at the same time. The 86th Airlift Wing is boldly being proactive in its approach to these measures.

One of these approaches is the fuel efficiency program implemented by Air Mobility Command. The program is designed to document and limit the amount of costly overfuels on each air mobil-ity aircraft, yet still safely operates the airplane to accomplish the mission.

Air mobility units report their fuel and cargo loads to an online AMC fuel efficiency tracker. AMC’s requirement is data for 80 percent of the missions flown must be uploaded into their sys-

tem. The 86th Airlift Wing C-130s reporting falls between 95 to 100 percent, which ranks among the top in all the Air Force.

In 2011, these efforts were recognized when the 37th Airlift Squadron, on behalf of the 86th AW, received the Best C-130 Cargo Accuracy Award.

“This award highlights our squadron’s commit-ment to accurate participation in the fuel efficiency tracking system,” said Maj. Mike Pontiff, assistant director of operations at the 37th AS.

When asked how the fuel efficiency efforts ben-efit the 86th AW’s mission as well the Air Force in general, Pontiff said.

“We are able to move more cargo and passen-gers at a lower cost. It also contributes to reducing our overall environmental impact and saves the Air Force energy costs at a time when saving is so important,” he said.

goal is to determine if the runway or landing zone can support aircraft, the type of aircraft and how many times an aircraft can land with the ultimate goal of bringing in follow-on forces.”

The team includes an oper-ations commander, a mobil-ity airlift navigator, an air-field operations officer, a civil engineer officer, a logistics readiness officer, security forces, a loadmaster, an air traffic controller, a medic, an airfield manager, a commu-nications specialist and an enlisted engineer.

“We act as USAFE’s 9-1-1,” said Master Sgt. Thomas Franz, 435th CRG contingen-cy airfield manager. “If a con-tingency arises, whether it be a Noncombatant Evacuation Operation, Humanitarian Relief Operation or any other crisis, planners need to know whether or not an airfield or landing strip can be utilized to open a base.”

The airfield assessment team has three means of inser-tion to get into an airfield to begin their assessment: air-

borne, air land and overland. Based on the size and suitabil-ity of the landing zone or run-way, the assessment process can take anywhere from two to six hours to complete their assessment.

“My primary goal as an airfield manager is the landing surface,” said Franz. “We will make an initial call back once we determine the landing sur-face is usable.”

Another team member who plays a vital role in determin-ing the suitability of the land-ing surface is the engineer. On the surface, a runway may appear suitable to land air-craft, but until the engineer conducts his test to assess the strength of each layer, under-neath the asphalt or concrete, there is no way to know how the landing surface will react to an aircraft landing.

“If we land an aircraft like the C-17 without testing the surface it could cause damage to the runway and/or aircraft,” said MacDonald.

During a humanitarian mis-sion, it is essential to know what type of aircraft will be able to land in the area.

“For a humanitarian mis-

sion we could be bringing in large quantities of supplies,” said Franz. “And if we know that the landing zone can only hold C-130s, that informa-tion plays a big part in the Air Force’s planning process.”

This airfield assessment team has two new capabilities it brings to U.S. Air Forces in Europe: air traffic controllers and their ability to control aircraft on landing zones. In addition, the CRG has person-nel who are able to perform landing zone safety officer duties.

“We now have air traffic controllers imbedded in the airfield assessment team. Not only can we assess the run-way, but we can bring in air-craft and follow on forces with an air traffic controller,” said MacDonald.

Restrictions in AFIs have limited the CRG’s role as far as landing zones are con-cerned. A recently granted waiver to an AFI has given air traffic controllers in the CRG the ability to land aircraft on any type of surface. Recently, the team was on an off station training in Spain where they were able to employ this new

capability alongside Spanish AF combat controllers.

“In Spain, we were able to use our air traffic controllers to land aircraft on the dirt strip,” said MacDonald. “This was a first for us, USAFE and for the Air Force.”

Partnering with the 37th Airlift Squadron gives the airfield assessment team the opportunity to train and hone their skills and capabilities. Having a flying unit that is not only collocated but also having a mutually beneficial training relationship with that unit is key to the CRG’s mis-sion.

“This past OST gave us the opportunity to not only use our airborne capability, but also gave us the opportunity to conduct an air land infiltra-tion and provide a baseline for future operations,” said Franz. “This is the first time we have practiced the air land insertion and were able to

practice it at night utilizing NVGs.”

The team personnel com-position is always changing and it is vital that they con-tinue building on the rela-tionship established with the 37th Airlift Squadron training events like this OST will continue to hone their skills.

“The vision of our lead-ership has been essential in acquiring the personnel, equipment and training events necessary to build on this capability,” said Franz

“The CRG is a very capa-ble force and is only get-ting better,” said MacDonald. “What we bring to USAFE and EUCOM, I see it as invaluable. We are excited to be employed whenever that opportunity comes up. We train and train and train so that in the one instance we are needed, we can show our stuff.”

SFS conducts joint K-9 trainingby Senior Airman Katherine Holt86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

The 86th Security Forces Squadron conducted K-9 train-ing with the 230th Military Police Company and German Polizei Monday on Ramstein.

Twenty-two K-9 teams par-ticipated in the training that covered four scenarios: build-ing searches, bite work, high-risk traffic stops and detection.

“This is the first time we were able to bring these agen-cies together for training,” said Master Sgt. Duane Stinson, 86th SFS kennel master. “This was a great opportunity to interact and see the different techniques used to train their dogs.”

Not only were the agencies able to get daily training in, but the Polizei had the opportunity to practice crowd control with people for the first time.

“We work the FCK soc-cer games and use our dogs for crowd control,” said Mario Scholz, German Polizei dog handler. “Today we were able to train our dogs with actual people making noises and interacting with them.”

This five-hour training provided teams with a break from the normal training routine while teach-ing new tools.

“We were able to break away from our day-to-day

and learn some new techniques,” said Sgt. Edward Pfeifer, 230th MP Co. military working dog trainer. “Personally, I learned to give my dog more slack during detection to let him work more freely. I also learned to reward more for making the detection and to make it fun for the K-9s.”

According to Stinson, the day was successful and everyone learned a lot from each other.

“We all actually work together,” he said. “Today we became more familiar with each other and we are all looking forward to more training like this to occur in the near future.”

2012January

by Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON ― The Defense Department’s new 10-year strategy will ensure the U.S. remains the world’s strongest military power, DOD leaders emphasized in weekend interviews.

In an interview with Jim Schieffer that aired Monday on the CBS news program “Face the Nation,” Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said the department is changing to respond to a new global reality. The strategy announced Jan. 5 outlines defense priorities for the coming decade, and emphasizes trimming the force while investing in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance pro-grams, combating anti-access technologies, counter-ing weapons of mass destruction and prevailing in all domains, including the cyber world.

“Clearly, we face the constriction of having to reduce the budget by almost half a trillion dollars,” the secretary said. “We developed a strategy that said (the military) is going to be leaner, it is going to be smaller, but it has to be agile, it has to adapt-able, it has to be fl exible, quickly deployable, and it has to be technologically advanced. That’s the kind of force we need for the future.”

The department’s plan calls for priority emphasis on the Pacifi c and the Middle East, while maintain-

ing a presence elsewhere, Panetta noted.“The bottom line is, when we face an aggressor

anyplace in this world, we’re going to be able to respond and defeat them,” he added.

The chairman said a popular misconception about the new strategy assumes the nation’s forces will no longer be able to fi ght more than one confl ict at a time.

“In fact, we were pretty adamant that we must be able to do more than one thing at a time, and by the way not limit ourselves to two,” Dempsey said. “The threat, and the environment in which we fi nd ourselves in this decade of the 21st century, suggests to us that it’s likely to be more than two.”

The strategy aims to build a force capable across the military operational spectrum with the leader-ship, manning and equipment to provide options to the national command authority, the chairman noted.

One point that may have been underemphasized, he added, is that the military has “learned an enor-mous amount over the last 10 years about how to wage war.”

Dempsey said the military has developed strengths unforeseen a decade ago, noting its capa-bilities in special operations, intelligence, surveil-lance and reconnaissance, and cyber.

“What we’re looking to do here is not constrain ourselves to a two-war construct, but rather build a force that has the kind of agility the secretary men-

tioned, that is a learning organization that will adapt itself to what it confronts,” he said.

The military has seen a decade of high demand, and defense leaders are working to ensure the force size remains adequate and adaptive to future mis-sions, he said.

“We do have a ... signifi cant, capable (National) Guard and reserve component, and we do have an active component that has learned a lot over the last 10 years,” Dempsey noted. “What we’re trying to do is break the template and think about differ-ent ways of accomplishing the task, to give more options to our nation’s leaders.”

The geopolitical and economic challenges of 2012 demand a shift in military power, the general said.

“What we’re trying to do is challenge ourselves to respond to that shift and to react to that strategic infl ection point,” he said.

Dempsey said his concern is that in light of changing strategy and budget issues, some will see the U.S. as a nation and a military in decline.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” the chairman asserted. “That miscalculation could be troublesome ... it could cause even our close part-ners to wonder, what kind of partner are we? So what I’d like to say right now is, we’re the same partner we’ve always been, and intend to remain that way.”

DOD leaders: US will remain world’s strongest military


by Dr. Marshall Michel52nd Fighter Wing historian

At the beginning World War II in the West, the German Luftwaffe used small gliders, each carrying nine troops, very successfully in Belgium and Crete. The gliders’ suc-cess spurred the Luftwaffe Technical Bureau to call for the design and con-struction of larger gliders, notably the Messerschmitt Me 321, which was more than 90 feet long, had a wing span of more than 180 feet and was capable of carrying 130 troops.

There was, however, a major prob-lem. The Luftwaffe lacked an aircraft powerful enough to tow such a large glider. In an almost desperate attempt to find a large enough aircraft, German designers hit on the idea of taking two airframes of its most numerous medium bomber, the Heinkel He 111, and joining them with a new 40-foot center wing section carrying a fifth engine.

This twin-fuselage, five-engine aircraft was dubbed the He 111Z “Zwilling,” or twin. It had a crew of seven with the pilot sitting in the left fuselage with the primary mechanic, gunner and a radio operator/naviga-tor. The starboard fuselage carried the co-pilot, a secondary mechanic and another gunner.

Surprisingly, only the pilot had a full set of instruments, and he also had all the controls for the five engines. The co-pilot had only essen-tial equipment and a limited set of gauges with no real redun-dancy. The land-ing gear could be worked by either cockpit.

Two He 111Z prototypes were built and proved to have good handling characteristics, though four 600 liter drop tanks were installed to increase the range. However, later tests showed that, while the Zwilling could tow a medium size glider, it did not have enough power on takeoff to tow a fully-loaded Me 321.

To solve the problem, four exter-nal rocket assisted takeoff pods were added, one under each fuselage and one underneath each wing. The pods were released by parachute after take-off. In flight there proved to be no handling problems towing the Me 321.

The He 111Z/Me 321 combina-tion was to have been used in an invasion of Malta in 1942 and as part of an airborne assault on the Soviet cities Astrakhan and Baku in the Caucasus in the same year,

but they were not ready in time. Later, in 1942, there was consid-

eration given to using the Zwillings to help resupply German forces at Stalingrad but the airfields were too small, though Zwillings helped evacu-ate German equipment and dozens of injured German soldiers person-nel from the Caucasus region. The Luftwaffe also considered using the He 111Z/Me 321 to reinforce Sicily after the Allied invasion, but there were no landing zones large enough for the glider.

About 20 Zwillings were produced, but most were shot down or destroyed on the ground in 1944 by marauding 8th Air Force fighters. By the end of the war, only four He 111 Zwillings were in operational condition.

Two other versions were proposed, the He Z-2 long-range bomber and the Z-3 long-range reconnaissance aircraft, but they never left the

drawing boards.While the idea of bolting two fuse-

lages together to make a new airplane might seem farfetched at first blush, it was actually a very valid concept. Before the end of World War II, North American Aircraft began to work on a similar two fuselage design of their P-51 Mustang for long range escort duties in the Pacific.

The aircraft, the P-82 Twin Mustang, was used by the U.S. Air Force as an escort fighter and night fighter through 1951 and scored the first air-to-air “kill” of the Korean War.

The red wine hike in Freinsheim is the fi rst high-light of the vineyards of the

Pfalz in 2012. The historical wine village will

offer this hike Jan. 20 to 22. The red wine hike is a guided tour leading on the wine hiking path to a vineyard called “Musikantenbuckel.”

The event will start with a torch hike at 6 p.m. Jan. 20. Interested par-ticipants will meet near the Baroque town hall, which was built in 1732.

Torch sales will start at 5:15 p.m. near the town hall and at a winery near the train station.

Activities will continue at 11:30 a.m. Jan. 21 at the historical town hall. Wine Princess Pia I and a local music group will welcome hik-ers who want to join the guided tours. The fi rst one will begin at 11:30 a.m. after the welcome ceremony and the second one will start at 1 p.m.

The Freinsheim soccer club will sponsor a folks run starting at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 22. Starting fee is €5.

Another guided red wine hike through the vineyards will begin at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

On all three days of the event, local vintners will present various red wines such as Dornfelder, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Saint Laurent and Spätburgunder in their wineries and at stands. To be able to warm up in this cold weather, glühwein (heated red wine spiced with cloves and cinnamon sticks) will also be served. Visitors can also taste a variety of food spe-cialties, including cheese soup, potato soup, dampfnudeln, rumpsteak with onions, deer goulash with dumplings, fresh oysters, scampi with spaghet-ti, oysters, chili con carne, spinach dumplings on salad, bratwurst, red wine cake and red wine muffi ns.

Food and beverage stands will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. Jan. 20, and 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 21 and 22.

Freinsheim has a medieval ring

wall from the 15th century, which surrounds the old part of town with towers and gates. It is known as one of the nicest and most complete town fortifi cation facilities in the Pfalz. For visitors, it’s worth it to explore Freinsheim with a tour around the

town wall, which takes about one hour.

To get to Freinsheim, travel on autobahn A6 direction Mannheim, take the Grünstadt exit, and follow the signs to Kirchheim, Dackenheim and Freinsheim.

Use caution when using minimalist running shoesby Maj. Zack SolomonU.S. Army Public Health Command

In 1974, co-founder of Nike Bill Bowerman created one of the first modern-day running shoes, the “Waffle Trainer” in an effort to create a lightweight shoe that would grip the road. This shoe launched a revolution in running shoe design and probably triggered the explosion in popularity of distance running throughout the U.S. in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Innovative shoe designs multiplied out of demand for more foot cushion-ing and motion control as people from all walks of life took up running. Shoe mid-foot arch construction grew rigid, and heel cushion material was height-ened to correct running form and pre-sumably prevent injuries.

Three types of shoes emerged: motion-control shoes for runners with low foot arches, stability shoes for neutral arches, and cushioned shoes for high arches. These designs were meant to make shoe selection easy; runners would first identify their arch type, then they would choose an appropriate shoe, and finally they

would begin running injury free. Unfortunately, this system of shoe selection hasn’t lived up to runners’ expectations as running injuries per-sisted. As well, multiple U.S. Army Public Health Command studies in basic trainees have demonstrated that shoe selection based on arch type does not reduce injuries.

Now, a new trend, a departure from control and cushioning, has emerged ― the minimalist running shoe.

A minimalist running shoe is extremely flexible and low to the ground to create the sensation of bare-foot running. By running in a shoe with minimal cushioning, most runners will naturally reduce their stride length to avoid landing painfully on their uncushioned heel. This change in run-ning form reduces initial joint impact and promotes a return to what some consider a more natural foot motion.

The growing popularity of mini-malist running shoes in both the civil-ian and military communities was sparked by the promise of increased running performance and decreased risk of running injuries. Although the jury is still out on whether minimal-

ist running shoes will live up to these expectations, the trend will surely grow as shoe companies expand and market their latest minimalist shoe product lines.

Soldiers interested in making the switch from a traditional running shoe to a minimalist design should exercise caution in doing so because a sud-den change in equipment or training can result in sore muscles and joints, blisters and even injuries such as stress fractures. The calf muscles will require the greatest adjustment, fol-lowed by the muscles of the foot and hamstrings. Running impact forces may also increase temporarily as the Soldier adapts to a shortened stride and forefoot strike.

The following are a few tips to make a smooth transition:

• Soldiers should only perform 10 percent of their normal running distance and volume in minimalist running shoes for the first two to three weeks. For example, if a Soldier runs 10 miles per week, only one mile per week should include the use of minimalist running shoes. Traditional running shoes can still be worn

the rest of the time. • No more than a 10 percent

increase in distance per week is rec-ommended for at least eight weeks after the initial transition phase. Some Soldiers may take up to six months to get used to running in minimalist shoes.

• Avoid running two days in a row in minimalist running shoes for the first four weeks.

• Run on different surfaces, such as grass, dirt and pavement, to get used to the feel of the shoes. Make sure the running surface is clear of debris and glass.

• Stretching will be very important during the first few weeks to alleviate soreness. Focus on stretching the foot, calf and hamstring muscles.

As with any change in training, a planned transition phase is critical to limit the short-term soreness and potential complications from an over-use injury.

For more information or if problems develop from any change in training or equipment, Soldiers should contact their medical provider or physical therapist.

Solutions to the Jan. 6 puzzle

Puzzle courtesy of http://thinks.com/

Joyful Noise (PG-13) ― The small town of Pacashau, Ga., has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in har-mony, but the discord between its two lead-ing ladies now threatens to tear them apart. If these two strong-willed women can put aside their differences for the good of the people in their town, they ― and their choir ― may make the most joyful noise of all.

Starring Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah.

Tower Heist (PG-13) ― Josh Kovaks

has managed one of the most luxurious and well-secured residences in New York City for more than a decade. In the swankiest unit atop Josh’s building, Wall Street titan Arthur Shaw is under house arrest after being caught stealing 2 billion from his investors. The hardest hit among those he defrauded? The tower staffers whose pensions he was entrusted to manage. With only days before Arthur gets away with the perfect crime, Josh’s crew turns to petty crook Slide to plan the nearly impossible ― to steal what they are sure is hidden in Arthur’s guarded condo.

Starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.
