NSF Indian Head celebrates Halloween

By Andrew RevelosNSASP Staff Writer

Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac (NSASP) andtheWoundedWarrior Projecthosted a deer hunt Oct. 27 atNaval Support Facility IndianHead's Stump Neck Annex.Six wounded warriors en-joyed a hearty lunch with thebase's firefighters beforeheading out to the woods insearch of antlers and venison.

Unusually warm temper-atures did not make for idealhunting conditions, butmonths of preparation andplanning by firefighters as-signed to NSASP paid off. Asthe sun lowered in the skyand shadows darkened thewoods, shots rang outthrough the trees.

The wounded warriorscame into the hunt with vari-ous levels of prior hunting ex-perience.Someenjoyedhunt-ing regularly; others had notbeen able to enjoy the pursuitdue to deployments and hos-pital time. For SayngeunPhounamkha, a woundedArmy veteran, the day was hisfirst ever hunt. His motivationfor trying out hunting wassimple: he wanted to experi-ence something new.

Being a novice, however,Phounamkha used some hu-mor to manage his expecta-tions for the day. "I know I've

gone fishing before andhaven't caught anything, so Ihope this is not going to belike fishing," he said. "I don'tknow what things will looklike out there; I just took my[hunter] safety class lastweek."

Previous, unsuccessful at-tempts at fishing ledPhounamkha to believe hemight not be cut out to be anoutdoorsman. His guide forthe day, firefighter and long-time hunter Bill Robey,shared one of his favoritespots for the hunt. Theground blind was situatedclose to the Potomac River,under a stand of mature oaktrees bordered by thick brush.It was an outstanding site and

testament to Robey's huntingexperience. No matter howgood the preparation, howev-er, it is a rare hunt that goesexactly according to plan.

Phounamkha and Robeyentered the blind and loadedthe shotgun. Hours passedand no deer revealed them-selves. Perhaps it was thewarm weather; perhaps itwas the approach of Hurri-cane Sandy, which was ex-pected to hit the region thenext day.

Small talk about hunting,the military and life in generalhelped pass the time.Phounamkha showed pa-tience that was a cut abovemostnovices,buttheconfinedquarters of the blind seemed

to make his body ache.A few shots rang out in the

distance, making the wait allthe more difficult. The deerwere obviously out there, butwould they come into viewneartheblindandofferashot?

At roughly 5:30 in theevening, Robey's scoutingpaid a dividend. As the shad-ows grew longer, a doewalked into view.Phounamkha raised theshotgun and fired a perfectshot.

The doe crumpled intothe leaves and Robey con-gratulated Phounamkha.Thecrickets chirped, an owl hoot-ed and the normal eveningchorus of the woods re-turned. It was unclear

whether or not Phounamkhanoticed any of this over thesound of his beating heart.

"I wasn't nervous beforebut now I am," he said. "I did-n't think I was going to get arush like that."

"That's the adrenaline,"explained Robey.

The considerable noise ofthe shotgun blast within theblind surprisedPhounamkha. "Do you guys

wear earplugs?" he asked."What?" replied Robey,

with no hint of irony.Phounamkha laughed andsent a text to his wife. Helaughed again when he gother reply. "She was amazed,"he said. "'You shot the deer?'Yeah."

After hauling his prize outof the woods, Phounamkha

Marine Col. Peter W. Ahern (l.), commanding officer for the Chemical Biological Incident ResponseForce (CBIRF) at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, congratulates the command's Marines andSailors of the Year (l. to r.): Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year Cpl. Michael Gannon, Marine of theYear Cpl. Phillip McMahon, Blue Jacket Sailor of the Year Hospital Corpsman Steven McPherson, andSailor of the Year Hospital Corpsman Harley Meyer. All four service members received Navy and Ma-rine Corps Achievement Medals, along with gift cards from the Indian Head Branch of the Navy FederalCredit Union, presented by branch manager Wendy Baxter (r.).

The howling winds and driving rainfrom Hurricane Sandy that were predict-ed for the region arrived last week, butmercifully left the area none the worse forwear. Though some trees came downand there were spotty power outages, thebrunt of the storm's fury ravaged the up-per East Coast.

Just viewing the unthinkable devasta-tion to our neighbors to the north is proofenough that you must have a plan inplace for you and your family.

Base officials spent several tense dayssetting Conditions of Readiness for Sandyto protect base assets and residents. Mes-sages, weather briefs and conference callswere conducted throughout the week andweekend with NSASP Crisis Action Teammembers and supported commands witha checklist of preparations that should becompleted as the storm came closer. Somesupported commands instituted MissionEssential Personnel only report, unsched-uled telework and leave policies or closedtheir operations on Monday and Tuesday.

You should also have a checklist foryou and your family. A predictedNor'easter this week is just the beginningof winter weather, which brings the threatof ice, snow, wind, dangerous road con-ditions and prolonged power outages.

The NSASP Family Disaster Prepared-ness Guide, located at http://issuu.com/garyr.wagner/docs/family_disaster_preparedness_guide, provides guidance onhow to prepare for a variety of emergencysituations. The guide includes steps formaking a family plan for disasters andemergencies; facts about natural andman-made threats; advice about special-needs family members, children andpets; steps for making a Family DisasterSupply Go-Kit and a fill-in Family Plan forDisasters and Emergencies (pull-out sec-tion) that can be pulled out and copiedfor family members. The pull-out sec-tions also include contact numbers forcounty information and support.

Educating your family on the plan isof utmost importance. Be sure safety istaken into account - burning candles

pose danger as does a generator that'soperating but not properly ventilated. Besure everyone in your home is aware ofhow to be ready while being safe.

In addition to preparing your family,be sure you're in a position to receive asmuch information as possible duringemergencies. Base employees that haveNMCI accounts should register for textmessages and home emails on the Com-puter Desktop Notification System. Em-ployees should also consider "liking" theNaval Support Activity South PotomacFacebook page at www.facebook.com/NSASouthPotomac, which is a great wayto receive information instantly via asmartphone.

Base employees can also check basestatus for Naval Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren by dialing (540) 653-8153 ortoll-free (866) 359-5540. The base statusphone number for NSF Indian Head is(301) 744-4000 or toll-free (866) 359-5540.Pre-recorded messages on all base statusphone lines will indicate whether eitherinstallation is open on normal operatingschedule, on a delayed opening or closed.

Base status information for NSFDahlgren and NSF Indian Head will also

be posted as an alert message on NSASP'swebsite at www.cnic.navy.mil/SPotomac.

Registering for KGAlert or CharlesCounty Alert allows employees to getquick notification on not only base hap-penings but also weather and traffic in-formation around the base. Employeesshould also be familiar with their com-mand notification system and contactany necessary numbers to get specific in-formation for their command.

Hurricane Sandy proves preparation a must

U.S. Navy photo by Gary Wagner

NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head saw minor impact from superstorm Sandy as the hurricane made its way north along the easternseaboard of the United States on Oct. 29-30. High winds uprooted thislarge tree, which fell within 30 feet of Dahlgren's new Child Develop-ment Center. Altogether, the storm's heavy rainfall and gusting windswere responsible for some leaks in buildings, a few brief power out-ages, and a good amount of downed tree branches at both bases.

and Robey made their way back to the firehouse. There, they learned that two otherwounded warriors in the hunting party hadalso taken deer.

Hunting stories were exchanged overmore food provided by NSF Indian Head fire-fighters. The deer were reported to the statedeer check-in phone line and taken to a localbutcher for processing, paid for by theWounded Warrior Project.

"Thank you," said wounded warrior Ron

Kellogg, who killed a seven-point buck duringthe hunt. "We really appreciate this."

For the guides and volunteers at IndianHead and Stump Neck who made the huntpossible, putting a smile on the wounded war-riors' faces was more than enough satisfaction.

"I'm former military myself," said Capt.Bill Massey, firefighter assigned to NSFDahlgren. "My son is now in the MarineCorps. I've always wanted to help withWounded Warriors."

The memory of Vietnam veterans cominghome weighed on Massey, who also serves hiscommunity as a volunteer firefighter. "Tryingto make it different [this time] and recognize

these veterans for what they have done andwhat they're doing... I've always wanted to dothat. Anytime you can help somebody andmake a difference, whether it's a smile or mak-ing their situation better, that's all I look for."

Massey was joined by several others whovolunteered their time to guide and preparefor the hunt. Robey, lead firefighter BillCrutchfield, firefighter John Price, Seth Berry,natural resources manager for NSF IndianHead, Jeff Bossart, NSASP environmental pro-gram director, and several others, includingactive-duty military service members helpedmake the hunt possible.

on NSF Indian Head.Furthermore, in order to become compliant with new

Clean Air Act standards, the Goddard Power Plant would re-quire extensive upgrades. Once the new natural gas facilitiesare completed, the deactivation and demolition of the God-dard Power Plant will result in a significant reduction in envi-ronmental impacts.

The new system will cut energy use by 50 percent, waterconsumption by 75 percent and steam requirements by 80percent, resulting in approximately $7.5 million savings eachyear. Additionally, more than 50 billion pounds of carbonemissions will be reduced each year.

Natural gas, a cleaner and more efficient fuel source, willserve as the primary fuel for the new steam- and power-gen-eration facilities. NSF Indian Head currently does not have anynatural gas distribution infrastructure, and the nearest naturalgas supply line is located approximately 5 miles northeast ofthe installation in the Bryans Road, Md. community.The proj-ect will include the construction of a new natural gas trans-mission line from Bryans Road to NSF Indian Head.

"This is a great success for not only Naval DistrictWashing-ton and NAVFACWashington, it's a tribute to the Chief of NavalOperation's Task Force Energy and Secretary of the Navy's en-ergy and environmental focus," said Branch. "Each year withthe current plant, we're moving 46 million pounds of coal morethan 400 miles by rail, barge and finally truck to Indian Head."

"This was a very challenging procurement," said Cmdr.Matthew Riethmiller, NAVFAC Washington assistant opera-tions officer. "Replacing a utility system of this size is nevereasy, but obviously the energy, environmental and financialbenefits required our success."

The Navy coordinated an environmental assessment withfederal and state resource agencies to evaluate the potentialimpacts of the proposed project on the human environment.The assessment highlighted adverse effects to historic prop-erties at NSF Indian Head, including the demolition of threebuildings, up to 10 miles of steam lines, and up to 5,000 feet ofrailroad tracks that have been determined eligible for listingon the National Register of Historic Places (the Register).

In accordance with Section 106 of the National HistoricPreservation Act, the Navy notified the Advisory Council onHistoric Preservation, the Maryland Historical Trust's StateHistoric Preservation Officer (SHPO) and federally recognizedtribes of these adverse effects. Historic American EngineeringRecord (RAER) documentation is underway to mitigate theadverse effects to historic buildings within the Naval PowderFactory and Extrusion Plant Historic Districts pursuant to a2010 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the MarylandSHPO for general demolition within these Districts.

The Navy and SHPO have completed a MOA regarding themilitary construction project, and a separate MOA for the dis-posal of excess railroad tracks associated with NSF IndianHead. These MOAs include appropriate stipulations to allevi-ate the remaining adverse effects to historic resources.

The Navy completed the environmental assessment andsigned a finding of no significant impact on Sept. 21.

Cardin and Hoyer both made a point to greetand thank NSWC IHD personnel throughouttheir tour. Building 3157 would enhance thecapabilities of the Navy and all branches of themilitaryandintelligencecommunity, theysaid.

"Indian Head is the premier research andengineering center for the U.S. Armed Forcesand its work is vital to ensuring our nation'smilitary superiority," remarked Cardin duringthe ribbon-cutting event that followed thetour. "Today's opening of a new technologyand laboratory facility will greatly enhanceour ability to develop and test ordnance andenergetic and weapons systems, which is crit-ical to the Navy's mission of winning wars, de-terring aggression and maintaining freedomof the seas and air."

Synergy for cutting-edgeenergetics research

"I am pleased to join the Indian Headcommunity today for the ribbon-cutting cer-emony for a world-class facility that will sup-port the important work they do," said Hoyer."This new complex will bring together 100engineers, scientists and staff in a modern fa-cility that has the work space and secure ar-eas to support classified programs. Pulling to-gether their talent will foster better collabo-ration and add synergy to their efforts here.

"I'd like to thank the men and womenwho will occupy this space for the work theydo to develop, test and manufacture thenewest generation of energetics systems forour military and I will continue to work with

Indian Head, the Department of Defense andother officials to ensure this critical militaryinstallation has the funding and resources tocarry out their mission," said Hoyer.

Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski wasunable to attend the ceremony due to Hurri-cane Sandy relief efforts, but sent an aide toread a letter to the men and women of NSWCIHD.

"A stronger and more secure America be-gins here in Maryland," she wrote. "TheNavy's premier facility for cutting-edge ener-getics research is at Indian Head and if we areto be combat-ready, we need smart weapons.Helping expand Maryland defense resourceslike the new Energetics Systems andTechnol-ogy and Laboratory Building at Indian Headhas always been my top priority. By support-

ing our men and women on the front lines ofdefense research and development, we aregiving those on the front lines of our battle-fields the tools they need to keep us safe."

Capt. Tom Smith, commander of NSWCIHD, thanked guests and leaders for attend-ing the ribbon-cutting ceremony and dis-cussed how the new facility will contribute tonational security.

"The nation gets continued demonstra-tion of Indian Head's excellence across all thewarfighting domains in producing, testing,delivering and maintaining warfighting capa-bility in systems that fly farther and hit hard-er. That's what the nation gets.What does theNavy get? The Navy gets an opportunity tocontinue demonstrating leadership in envi-ronmental stewardship and compliance withthe Americans with Disabilities Act."

Building 3157 is LEED Silver-certified andfeatures a vegetative roof that conserves en-ergy and a permeable parking lot to reducestorm water runoff. Smith said that the newfacility will also help retain highly-qualifiedemployees, calling the building a "win" for"nation, Navy" and NSWC IHD.

"We're really excited to have this newbuilding," added Dennis McLaughlin, tech-nical director for NSWC IHD. "It really meansa lot to us. For years our system engineeringdepartment has been spread out all over thissite. It's hard to get work done, but we'vedone it and we've done some cutting-edgework for our warfighters right here in IndianHead. Now, we can do it even better and evenmore efficiently."
