There isn't any good reason why they won,except their ingenuity, dedication, will, andperhaps a bit of serendipity.

Walter Lord, who penned the book Incred-ible Victory about the Battle of Midway, usedthe phrase: "They had no right to win… butthey did, and in doing so they changed thecourse of a war", a quote which now adornsthe Midway dedication stone at theWorldWarII memorial in Washington, D.C. Perhaps ifyou ask one of the veterans from Midway, theywould look at it a little differently.

When asked what he would like people toremember about the battle, retired U.S. Ma-rine Corps Major Albert Grasselli, a formerMarine pilot, said simply the following.

"We won," he said.The Battle of Midway is being commem-

orated this year for its 70th anniversary. Thebattle, which took place from June 4-8 1942,was a turning point in the Pacific War and ar-guably set the stage for the United States tohelp win the Second World War. A ceremonywill be taking place at the Navy Memorial lo-cated in downtown Washington on June 4.

The battle is noted as being the first realturning point in the war, and the first decisivevictory by the United States in the war withJapan. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) had

already made broad strokes in the Pacific, be-ginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, theinvasion of the Philippines, Malaya and Sin-gapore, the Battle ofWake Island and recentlya tactical victory at Coral Sea.

However, as retired Capt. John Crawford, aMidway veteran, notes, American forces hada trick up their sleeves moving in to the daysbefore Midway: they had cracked the codes.

“It was miraculous; our intelligence pre-dicted the time of the planned attack, the dis-tance and location of the Japanese” saidCrawford. "Our intelligence had solved theproblem. I was happy as a clam."

The IJN had planned to draw the U.S. fleetout of the newly reinforced Pearl Harbor inwhat they believed to be a required defenseof Midway Atoll, but since American cryptol-ogists had recently deciphered JN-25 (theAmerican code name for the Japanese ci-pher), Adm. Chester Nimitz was able to set aplan into motion that would turn the U.S.forces from the hunted to the hunter.

By positioning his carriers to the northeastof Midway, Nimitz was able to keep them outof sight until the last possible moment. Still,considering all these advantages, circum-stances could have still played out in the IJN'sfavor: their forces could have been consoli-dated, or American bombers who had beenpursuing the IJN forces at an incorrect bearingcould have not found the Japanese ships.

But even considering the bit of luck they

had, it ended up in the hands of the Sailors atMidway to deliver the first real blow to theJapanese fleet. Their commitment certainlytranslated into a right to win.

“The Navy has core values and the peoplewho fought at Midway personify them," saidRobert Crawford, a historian with the NavalHistory and Heritage Command.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. -- Joint BaseAnacostia Bolling (JBAB) recently conducted its annualbase-wide hurricane preparedness exercise.

Hurricane Exercise Citadel Gale 2012, a Commander,Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and Fleet ForcesCommand (FFC) exercise, is conducted at this time everyyear to help commands prepare for the Atlantic hurricaneseason from June 1-Nov. 30.

This year, JBAB played in the exercise with a scenariocentered around an impending hurricane that was set tofirst strike North Carolina, and move up the coastline to-ward Virginia and Maryland.

"As with all exercises, there were some areas where weperformed extremely well, and areas where we could usesome improvement," said Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra,JBAB commander. "Overall, though, I think our Airmenand Sailors did an outstanding job. They set a high bar forthe next exercise."

Sigmund Evans, JBAB emergency manager, called theexercise a great learning experience.

"This is a very busy installation and any time we get to

train, it's beneficial to us all," he said.Hurricane Conditions of Readiness (HURCONs) 1-5 were

set throughout the exercise to help base residents and Emer-gency Operation Center (EOC) personnel take preparatorymeasures needed to properly secure the installation.

"The whole purpose of this exercise is to get all our teammembers, JBAB staff, residents and mission partners think-ing about what they would do in the event of a real hurri-cane, getting in the mindset of planning and preparing be-fore the storm arrives, and how to recover afterward," Ca-landra said. "Training like we would fight familiarizes peo-ple with how things are done in a real-world situation. In-graining into people's habits what steps to take can miti-gate damage, and most importantly, save lives."

Evans stressed the importance of getting an accurateheadcount of all personnel attached to JBAB in the eventof a disaster.

"The accountability portion is extremely important,making sure we know where all of our personnel are locat-ed and that they're safe," he said. "JBAB did a wonderfuljob in this arena."

The EOC, consisting of members from multiple organ-izations and disciplines on base, was stood up to monitorthe hurricane and its potential impacts, and coordinateprevention, preparation, response and recovery proce-dures.The main event came Wednesday with a simulatedincident involving a downed helicopter on the north endof the base. Other simulations included conducting a 100

The USS Lexington (CV 2) explodes following a hit by a Japanese torpedoduring the Battle of the Coral Sea. The Lexington was later scuttled as partof the major losses of both sides in what would turn out to be a U.S. strate-gic victory leading up to the Battle of Midway about a month later.

By Andrew Revelos,NSASP Staff Writer

Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac (NSASP) po-lice officers offered a specialtraining session Apr. 14 tocadets from the Pentagon Di-vision of the U.S. Naval SeaCadets Corps (NSCC) andNavy League Cadet Corps(NLCC) onboard Naval Sup-port Facility (NSF) Dahlgren.The group included 30 youngpeople age 10 to 18, and evenbefore the training sessionended, the cadets an-nounced the law enforce-ment training constituted the"best drill weekend ever."

The cadets' day beganbright and early with a 0530wakeup and a colors ceremo-ny at the Aegis Training andReadiness Center (ATRC) at0800. From there, the cadetsmarched to the base's JD'sConference Center, wherethey met NSASP police offi-cers. After an introductionand safety brief, NSASP po-lice chief Robert Brooks start-ed the training session withan exercise that became veryfamiliar with the cadets overthe course of the day: push-ups, and lots of them.

If cadets did not keepcount properly, the group didmore push-ups.When one ofthe cadets' two squads didsomething better than the

other, more push-ups wererequested.

"It pays to be a winner,"Brooks told the cadets.

But the rewards of victorywere short-lived for the win-ning squad: when the losingsquad assumed the push-upposition, Brooks asked thewinners if they were not onthe same team as the losers.The message was quickly un-derstood and the winningsquad did the push-upsalongside the losing squad.

"[The cadets] have towork as a team or they'll fail,"said Brooks. "One of the rea-sons we do so many push-ups is not as punishment, butto reinforce the idea of theteam concept. No pack isstronger than its weakestwolf; no wolf is stronger thanthe pack. If you could sum-marize the theme of thetraining today, it's team-work."

Virtual marksmanshiptraining

Parents of middle andhigh school-aged kids mayhave been surprised to seethe young cadets not onlyembrace such training, butalso have a great time doingit. "The [police officers] werereally nice," said ElizabethHayes, Sea Cadet and leadingpetty officer (LPO) for thePentagon Division. "Normal-

ly, people are either too harshor too easy with younger peo-ple, but they treated us justright."

Of course, having an ideaabout how cool the rest of thetraining day would be mayhave added to the cadets' in-centive to perform. After thephysical training (PT) ses-sion, cadets learned safe andproper weapons handlingwith simulated firearms be-fore putting those skills to useinside NSASP's law enforce-ment training facility and vir-tual training simulator. An ex-cited gasp came over the

young people when the latterwas described to them as areally "big video game."

At the simulator, thecadets practiced their marks-manship and form under thewatchful eyes of Senior ChiefMaster at Arms Chris Merz,assistant chief of NSASP po-lice, and Sgt. Steve Mullen.

Mullen was impressed bythe smallest shooter at thePentagon Division, 10-yearold Hayleigh Mellinger. Theyoung NLCC cadet took outnine simulated targets in sev-en and a half seconds with nomisses.

"I guess big things docome in small packages,"Mullen told a very proudMellinger.

An older cadet, CalebBunde, impressed the policeofficers with his speedy andaccurate shooting.

"You can tell he's beentrained and trained correct-ly," said Mullen.

Bunde let everyone in onthe secret: his father is a re-tired Navy Explosive Ord-nance Disposal (EOD) techwho competes in UnitedStates Practical Shooting As-sociation (US PSA) and Inter-national Defensive Pistol As-sociation (IDPA) matches.The younger Bunde hadclearly absorbed much of hisfather's knowledge.

"Video games" were onlyone part of the law enforce-ment training, however. Pen-tagon Division learned basicroom clearing and entrytechniques inside Building217, where they practicallyfell over themselves to get achance to swing the batteringram.

Learning about severalnight vision devices and howthey help police officers nav-igate the darkness was an-other big hit with the cadets.

"I did like the night vi-sion," said Hayes. "I thoughtthat was cool. It was a littledifficult to navigate but it

wasn't that bad."Hayes has participated in

the Sea Cadets for four yearsand hopes to eventually jointhe Navy. "I want to do anROTC program when I'm incollege or Annapolis, if I canget in," she said.

Hands-on look at lawenforcement

The NSASP police officerswere happy to provide thehands-on look at theirlifestyle.

"We like to, as a police de-partment, train with all levelsof the naval services, whetherthey're cadets or military[service members] or fellowpolice officers," said Brooks."This is a great opportunity,especially with these youngpeople, to introduce them tosome of the basic tacticalstuff that they may learn lateron in their careers if they gointo law enforcement or intothe military."

Brooks and Mullen bothemphasized how impressedthey were with the youngmen and women of the Pen-tagon Division. "They are avery disciplined group ofkids," said Brooks. "The agesrange from 10 to 18, but youdon't see the typical wander-ing attention spans. "

"The kids were very fo-

NSA Washington-JBAB Fleet Family and Fun

ed his career as a member of the Naval Reservein 1955, and proceeded to earn a commissionin 1956. He eventually worked his way to therank of captain in 1977, and then was namedrear admiral in 1982. He retired in 1990.

Another prime individual to consider fromthe tradition of Asians and Pacific Islanders inthe U.S. Navy is Rear Adm. Connie Mariano,who served as rear admiral during her ap-pointment to the position of physician to thepresident of the United States.

Mariano was born in 1955 at former NavalStation Sangley Point, roughly eight milessouthwest of Manila, Philippines, as a daugh-ter of a steward in the Navy who retired at therank of Master Chief. Her family moved to theUnited States two years later. After graduatingfrom high school as valedictorian in 1973, sheattended Revelle College at University of Cal-ifornia, San Diego, where she matriculatedwith cum laude honors.

"I came to the White House by way of thekitchen" Mariano said to an audience in2001. "I came from a family of Navy stew-ards."

Mariano then joined the Navy in 1977where she attended the Uniformed ServicesUniversity of the Health Sciences on the cam-pus of the former National Naval MedicalCenter in Bethesda, Maryland, and receiveda medical degree in 1981. After her intern-ship, Mariano was assigned to the USS Prairie(AD 15) and served as physician to her com-plement of over five-hundred Sailors.

Following other appointments including

as Head of Internal Medicine at the NavalHospital in San Diego, she was nominated tothe post of White House Physician in 1992.She served in that office for nearly a decade,longer than any other presidential physicianand treated three sitting presidents. She wasnominated for appointment to rear admiral(Lower Half) in May 2000.

One of the major strengths of the U.S.Navy is its penchant to utilize diversity. By al-lowing for and ultimately embracing the var-ious types of people available to its service,the Navy establishes and continues a proudtradition, and Pacific Islanders and AsianAmericans certainly do that tradition justice.

very impressed with that. I think they'vedone a great job with their attitudes andthe learning curve, for that matter, was thatof police officers I've taught at the acade-my."

"Watching these young people learn...it's awesome," added Mullen. "I was reallyimpressed with their capability to learnand apply the knowledge immediately. Andthey don't have any bad habits or precon-ceived notions. They listened and they didgreat. I see potential in quite a few ofthem."

Corporals Randy Brown and Bryan Ma-

"It's pretty special," she said. "There area lot of things they have to do with paper-work and coursework and those are kind ofboring. This is one of the [drill weekends]that's action-packed and they love it. Theywere up this morning at 5:30 and they werewaiting to go."

Crater thanked the officers for theirservice and for the training.

"This could not be possible withoutthem," said Crater. "They're giving up theirtime and their weekend to help these kidsout... we can't thank them enough. Itwouldn't happen without them. They havethe knowledge, the skills necessary andthey made a difference in 30 cadets' lives."

USS UNDERWOOD, At Sea (NNS) -- TheOliver Hazard Perry-class frigate USS Un-derwood (FFG 36) completed CompositeTraining Unit Exercise (COMTUEX) April30 and is deploying to Central and SouthAmerica and the Caribbean in support ofSouthern Seas 2012.

The ship participated in events forCOMTUEX that simulated various situa-tions, including combat-orientated exer-cises.

"This was a great opportunity for us toget underway working in a multi-ship,complex warfare environment and set usup very well for success on deployment,"said Cmdr. Michael D. Brassuer, USS Un-derwood executive officer.

The COMPTUEX included a live-firegun exercise of the ship's weapon systems,simulated missile attacks, small boat at-tacks, man overboard drills, underway re-plenishments, and ship boarding trainingby the visit, board, search and seizure(VBSS) team. Underwood also sailed in for-mation with other U.S. Navy ships andpracticed evasive maneuvers. These exer-cises were designed to be as true-to-life aspossible.

"It was realistic training," said Brassuer."I could see by the watch team's reactionsthat they thought the scenarios were real."

One of the highlights of COMTUEX forUnderwood was the VBSS ship boardingexercise. The team boarded a simulated"ship of interest", USNS Hugo (TYL-8201),to search the vessel. They provided medicalaid and engineering support during thesimulation.

"For COMTUEX, the VBSS team getsready to be certified so that in case of emer-gencies, we can board vessels to search forany kind of contraband, such as illegaldrugs and firearms," said Electricians Mate2nd Class Aldo Rodriguez, a member of theVBSS team aboard Underwood. "They justwant us to be ready to go whenever we spota suspicious ship in the area."

Underwood is deploying in support ofSouthern Seas 2012. Its first exercise will beUNITAS Pacific (UNITAS PAC), an exercisewith foreign navies of South America, de-

signed to practice security and stability op-erations. Crew members will also partici-pate in community relation events while inport and will perform maritime securityoperations at sea.

Underwood completed COMTUEX togain qualifications required for its deploy-ment.

"It gave us a chance to come together asa team and get ready for deployment," saidBrassuer.

UNITAS, Latin for "unity", is the oldestmaritime exercise conducted each yearsince 1959. The multinational exercise isfocused on operating and training togetherin scenario-based environments, theatersecurity operations, anti-terrorism andanti-narcotic operations. UNITAS also in-cludes live-fire exercises, humanitarian as-sistance and disaster response training.

U.S. personnel are given the opportuni-ty to work and train side-by-side withsailors of Latin American navies and buildrelationships. The relationships that devel-op from this exercise will help foster coop-eration and understanding between partic-ipating countries.

U.S. Naval Forces Southern Commandand U.S. 4th Fleet (COMUSNAVSO/C4F)support U.S. Southern Command joint andcombined full-spectrum military opera-tions by providing principally sea-based,forward presence to ensure freedom of ma-neuver in the maritime domain, to fosterand sustain cooperative relationships withinternational partners and to fully exploitthe sea as maneuver space in order to en-hance regional security and promotepeace, stability, and prosperity in theCaribbean, Central and South American re-gions.

DVD Review by CDR YoussefAboul-Enein, MSC, USN

Algerian War 1954-1962: Roots of theCounterinsurgency. DVD set re-issued bythe Military Heritage Institute. November2011. Three disks.

This year marks the 60th anniversary ofAlgerian independence, it is an event thatwas advocated by then Senator John F.Kennedy as early as 1957, and then com-mented on when independence occurredwhen Kennedy was serving as President ofthe United States. Algeria has been aFrench colony since 1830, and their poli-cies of forcibly integrating Algeria as partof France in their terms would cause a vio-lent reaction after World War II, and lead tothe collapse of the French Fourth Republic.

This collapse brought World War II FreeFrench leader General Charles De Gaulle topower, and after a rational calculation hewould realize that keeping Algeria was po-litically, morally, and economically unten-able even though French forces had wonthe battle, pacification and the rifts itcaused French society made it difficult forthe French to retain Algeria under condi-tions of racial and religious discriminationdirected against the majority Arab andMuslim population.

In a previous Waterline book column(October 13, 2011), I recommended thebook by Sir Alistaire Horne entitled, “A Sav-age War of Peace,” (New York: Viking, 1978).However, if you are looking for a decentdocumentary let me suggest Yves Courriereand Phillippe Monnier’s 1972, “La Guerred’ Algerie,” which was released to Englishspeaking viewers in 1975, and then re-re-leased a few more times, most recently inNovember 2011. The documentary is 4hours and 40 minutes long, but is dividedinto three DVDs. It provides not only a his-

tory of the conflict, but interviews from thevarious participants, journalists who cov-ered this conflict, and political advisors ofthe time from the Algerian National Liber-ation Front (FLN) to the office of FrenchPresident De Gaulle. It also contains dra-matic footage.

Understanding this conflict matters, asit offers lessons on counter-insurgencyfrom the tactical to the strategic. The useof violence and urban terror to provoke vi-olence from authorities and create a cycleof terror is featured. In addition, discus-sions on how the cellular structure of theFLN was dismantled as told by a servingfrench military intelligence officer. How-ever, the FLN continued to operate fromsafe-havens in newly independent Moroc-co and Tunisia and there cause was sus-tained by contempt for the Algerian popu-lation by the pied-noir, a term for Frenchsettlers in Algeria, and the favorable subsi-

By MC2 Mark Logico, Commander,Navy Region Hawaii Public Affairs

PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- More than 450Sailors, and their friends and families, at-tended the advance screening of UniversalStudio's "Battleship" at Sharkey Theater onJoint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, April 28.

Filming for the movie in Hawaii beganin 2010 when hundreds of Hawaii-basedSailors, veterans and Navy ships playedparts in the movie. The movie featured thecapabilities of U.S. Navy destroyers andWWII veterans. In January 2010, even theBattleship Missouri Memorial sailed out tosea for some initial filming.

"We don't put enough attention withour elders, in particular our veterans," saidPeter Berg, the director of the movie. "By farmy favorite moment on Battleship is get-ting to meet these veterans. Some of thoseguys are in their 90s, and they would comeon board with the energy of a 20 year old.They had all these stories. They were havingthe best time. They get to be on their ship.That was, by far, my career highlight."

The cast of Battleship, including PeterBerg, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker,Alexander Skarsgard, and Rihanna, were allat Sharkey Theater to greet the audience.

"There was a time when Hollywood did-n't see eye-to-eye with the military, and Ireally think that time is no more," said Berg."I think that Soldiers feel it. Soldiers arecoming home from Iraq and Afghanistan toa different reception then they did whenthey came back from Vietnam, and I think

that's great. I'm just glad to be able to domy part to pay respect."

The movie also featured Col. Gregory

Gadson, the Director of the U.S. ArmyWounded Warrior Program, who is aWounded Warrior himself. Gadson, wholost both his legs because of an improvisedexplosive device in 2007, practically playedhimself as Lt. Col. Mick Canales fightingaliens in the movie.

"I like to say that fighting aliens is no dif-ferent than fighting a human," said Gad-son. "If you're fighting for your life, you'regoing to do whatever it takes to win."

Gadson said he hopes the movie wouldalso help all warriors, wounded or other-wise, and let them know that life can go on.

"You've got to put behind you what'shappened in the past," said Gadson."When you have an opportunity to learnand to go through hard experiences, youcan come out the other side and live a pro-ductive life."

To prepare for her role in the movie, Rhi-

anna enlisted the help of Gunner's Mate2nd Class Jacquelyn Carrizosa, assignedaboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) dur-ing the filming in 2010.

"She really helped me out," said Rihan-na. "I paid attention to her, everythingabout the way she dressed, the way shewalked, her mannerisms, how she spoke,how collected she was. That was very cru-cial to me playing this part. She was a prettygirl but very, very tough. Her demeanor wasso quiet and sweet, and then you see herput on this uniform and she walks on theset, she's a whole different beast. She helpsme as a friend but when she gets in her el-ement she's very intimidating."

During the filming, Rihanna and the restof the cast interacted with many of theSailors in Hawaii so the actors could betterunderstand their roles in the movie.

"I was exposed to a lot of things that Ididn't know about the Navy, just seeingtheir demeanor, where you lived, whereyou stayed," said Rihanna. "I heard abouthow long you guys stayed at sea withoutyour family. It really was an awakening forme. It made me appreciate what you guysdo so much more."

The film opens officially in U.S. theaterson May 18. The movie is based on a boardgame of the same name. It is about how afleet of ships is forced to fight an armada ofalien ships.

"The film is going to expose a lot of whatthe Navy does, and no one knows howthese ships are fought and how the day-to-day stuff is," said Kitsch. "I love how we ex-posed a lot of that. You read about the sac-rifice and what it means to wear the uni-form, and I think that's what hit me themost. Not just meeting the Sailors andeveryone, that's a part of it, but the families,the sacrifices that they make as well. Thatwas probably the biggest one that I tookaway: how much sacrifice that is."

dies given to them at the expense of Algeri-ans.

The documentary features De Gaulle’sdecision to change policy and place Algeriatowards a path to independence, leading toa violent reaction from French settlers inAlgeria. You will learn that De Gaulle hadno particular like for the French settlers inAlgeria who in World War II remained pas-sive if not outright part of the pro-fascistVichy French government. This change ofpolicy would result in a mutiny of Frenchgenerals hostile to negotiations resulting inAlgerian independence in 1961. There aremany facets to this documentary, many

thinkers on counter-insurgency and thosewho ponder winning the peace after win-ning the war reflect on this conflict. ThisDVD is for those who want to immersethemselves before reading books on the Al-gerian War of Independence specifically orcounter-insurgency generally.
