HT-JCoE dedicates, opens new building<br />
By Marilyn Culpepper<br />
Strategic Planner, USAICoE<br />
On Tuesday, Fort Huachuca personnel dedicated Matlack<br />
Hall, a newly built general instruction building, for <strong>the</strong><br />
Human Intelligence Training Joint Center of Excellence.<br />
Workers broke ground on <strong>the</strong> new facility Sept. 30, 2008.<br />
The building is named for Doro<strong>the</strong> Matlack who dedicated<br />
27 years to <strong>the</strong> military intelligence field. During that<br />
time, she served as a special assistant to <strong>the</strong> Department of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Army’s assistant chief of staff, Intelligence.<br />
Matlack was responsible for many of <strong>the</strong> Army’s human<br />
intelligence programs which operated during <strong>the</strong> 1980s.<br />
Early in her career, she played an instrumental role in establishing<br />
Department of Defense procedures for debriefing<br />
defectors, escapees and refugees of intelligence interest, as<br />
well as organizing and directing <strong>the</strong> debriefing of 37,000<br />
Hungarian refugees entering <strong>the</strong> United States in 1956.<br />
She initiated joint agency ef<strong>fort</strong>s, which resulted in <strong>the</strong><br />
refugee debriefings that first located Soviet missiles in<br />

Let’s honor, celebrate and remember Americans — not foreigners!<br />
By Dr. Andrew Kim<br />
Acting Director, Plans, Analysis and Integration Office<br />
Every May, on Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine bases — both here<br />
and overseas — I have seen banners, flyers, posters and articles publicizing<br />
“Asian Pacific Heritage Month.” These observances and publicity are<br />
essentially travelogues to China, Korea, Japan, Hawaii, <strong>the</strong> Philippines<br />
and <strong>the</strong> South Pacific; and photos of Ichiro and Yao Ming.<br />
While it’s interesting and important for us to expand our knowledge and<br />
perspective about o<strong>the</strong>r nations and prominent people around <strong>the</strong> globe,<br />
why are we observing an event about foreigners and foreign countries?<br />
Don’t get me wrong, as a retired Army Foreign Area Officer and Army<br />
Attaché, I fully support studying world history, geography and culture<br />
— but, didn’t <strong>the</strong> U.S. Congress pass Joint Congressional Resolutions<br />
in 1978, 1990 and 1992 for our nation to honor, celebrate and recognize<br />
Americans of Asian and Pacific descent during <strong>the</strong> month of May?<br />
Indeed, <strong>the</strong> intent of <strong>the</strong>se resolutions were to set aside one month<br />
a year for our nation to recognize, remember and learn about one of<br />
America’s great minorities — fellow Americans who make-up <strong>the</strong> rich<br />
fabric of our multi-cultural and dynamic society — a diversity that is<br />
our nation’s strength.<br />
May was selected because of two important anniversaries — <strong>the</strong> arrival<br />
of <strong>the</strong> first Japanese immigrants in 1843 and <strong>the</strong> completion of <strong>the</strong><br />
Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 that was built largely on <strong>the</strong> backs of<br />
Chinese laborers.<br />
Today, Asian and Pacific Americans are our neighbors, our co-workers,<br />
and our supervisors and employees; <strong>the</strong>y are shopkeepers and corporate<br />
executive officers, blue-and white-collar workers, military officers and<br />
non-commissioned officers, and local science fair and Nobel Prize winners;<br />

“The biggest thing is<br />
never drinking and<br />
driving at all. A lot of<br />
people say don’t be<br />
drunk and drive, but<br />
not even one drink is<br />
worth <strong>the</strong> risk.”<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are police and emergency first responders, artists and musicians,<br />
attorneys and judges, teachers and professors, doctors and nurses — <strong>the</strong>y<br />
serve in virtually every field of endeavor.<br />
On military bases around <strong>the</strong> world, we should be honoring those who<br />
serve and those who have served. We should especially remember those<br />
who have paid <strong>the</strong> highest price for our freedom and liberties. We should<br />
“never forget.”<br />
Although Asian-Americans reportedly participated in <strong>the</strong> War of 1812,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Civil War and World War I, <strong>the</strong>ir most notable military contributions<br />
started from World War II: The 442nd Regimental Combat Team toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
with <strong>the</strong> 100th Infantry Battalion — still, <strong>the</strong> highest decorated unit in <strong>the</strong><br />
history of <strong>the</strong> U.S. Army — gained fame by rescuing <strong>the</strong> “lost battalion”<br />
(1st Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment) from Texas in <strong>the</strong> mountains<br />
of France from certain annihilation by <strong>the</strong> Germans; U.S. Army “Yankee<br />
Samurais” (including Merrill’s “Samurai” Marauders) risked being<br />
shot at by both Japanese and U.S. troops; U.S. Army Korean-American<br />
soldiers who were hurriedly pressed into combat and interpreter duties<br />
(although many were not bi-lingual) at <strong>the</strong> onset of <strong>the</strong> Korean War; 31<br />
Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from <strong>the</strong> Philippine-American<br />
War (Private Jose Nisperos) to <strong>the</strong> Vietnam War (Sgt. 1st Class Rodney<br />
Yano); Col. Young Oak Kim — during <strong>the</strong> Korean War <strong>the</strong> first-ever<br />
minority officer to command an Army combat battalion in U.S. history;<br />
Gen. Eric Shinseki — Army chief of staff and secretary of <strong>the</strong> Veterans<br />
Administration; and <strong>the</strong> countless Asian American Soldiers and civilians<br />

Fort Huachuca personnel ramp up for summer safety<br />
By Joan Vasey<br />
Scout Editor<br />
Fort Huachuca personnel are ramping up for a safer summer through<br />
mandatory attendance at one of six safety briefings presented this past<br />
Monday through Wednesday and at one of two safety briefings to be offered<br />
at Greely Hall Auditorium this coming Wednesday, at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.<br />
Sponsored by <strong>the</strong> Army Substance Abuse Program here, “Playin’ Safe,<br />
Havin’ Fun” focused on safely enjoying common summer activities especially<br />
during <strong>the</strong> Army’s 101 Critical Days of Summer, Memorial Day<br />
through Labor Day.<br />
“The safety campaign is intended to remind us that we can’t afford to lose<br />
focus on safety while ei<strong>the</strong>r on- or off-duty. Family barbecues, swimming,<br />
fishing, softball, hiking, boating, motorcycle riding, biking and camping<br />
are just some of <strong>the</strong> activities we like to engage in during <strong>the</strong> summer,”<br />
said Marilyn Jones, safety specialist, Fort Huachuca Safety Office.<br />
“The prolonged hours of daylight encourages us to jam as many of our<br />
favorite pastimes into our day as possible, and more activities means<br />
more potential for accidents,” Jones added, saying <strong>the</strong> use of alcohol factors<br />
into many accidents.<br />
“Many of us tend to engage in risky activities that take us to <strong>the</strong> ‘edge,’<br />
and what might begin as a day of fun in <strong>the</strong> sun may end up with a trip<br />
to <strong>the</strong> emergency room or worse,” Jones explained.<br />
Representatives from <strong>the</strong> Fort Huachuca Safety Office, Fire Department,<br />
Directorate of Emergency Services and Occupational Health presented<br />
different segments of <strong>the</strong> session.<br />
Sessions opened with a Bisbee resident and safety practitioner sharing<br />
her experience of being hit by a drunk driver while riding her bicycle<br />
home from work.<br />
When she was 13, Cori Eastman’s uncle crashed his plane, killing<br />
himself and his passenger due to negligence. This made her keenly aware<br />
of safety.<br />
“I put ‘safety’ on like I put on a pair of pants,” she said, adding that<br />
Guardsmen lend a hand<br />
she always suited up when riding her bike.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> night of her accident, she was travelling at about 12 miles per<br />
hour, headed westbound on Highway 80 near <strong>the</strong> Lavender Pit when she<br />
was hit by a maroon pickup truck traveling about 45 miles per hour. She<br />
fell to her left, her helmet came off, and she struck her head on a rock.<br />
While she suffered some injuries, she credits her helmet with saving her<br />
from serious injury.<br />
“The driver was distraught and remorseful,” Eastman said.<br />
“Think about what you do before you do it,” she said of drinking, <strong>the</strong>n<br />
driving.<br />
The <strong>fort</strong>’s safety campaign is designed to let servicemembers and civilians<br />
know that while it’s fine to have fun, attendees should consider risks<br />
and consequences, especially after using a mood altering chemical when<br />
participating in outdoor activities or getting behind <strong>the</strong> wheel of a vehicle.<br />
The briefing also pointed out that people should ACT before engaging<br />
in any activity.<br />
• Assess <strong>the</strong> environment for risk<br />
• Consider <strong>the</strong>ir limitations<br />
• Take appropriate action<br />
Presenters shared statistics about <strong>the</strong> number of arrests for driving<br />
under <strong>the</strong> influence in Arizona, on Fort Huachuca and Army-wide in 2008<br />
and 2009. Speakers reminded <strong>the</strong> audience that those driving under <strong>the</strong><br />
influence while in control of a motor vehicle on Fort Huachuca would, if<br />
stopped and cited, lose <strong>the</strong>ir driver’s license for one year or possibly longer.<br />
In addition to presenting sobering facts about drinking, presenters<br />
covered topics including skateboarding, bicycling, motorcycle and boating<br />
safety, and hiking, swimming and rappelling in pairs. Since people tend to<br />
barbecue more when <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r is warmer, ano<strong>the</strong>r topic was safe use of<br />
outdoor cooking appliances. Floods and heat injuries rounded out <strong>the</strong> topics.<br />
The Fort Huachuca Safety Office has a variety of brochures focusing<br />
on summer safety.<br />

Census door-to-door<br />
follow up continues<br />
By Amy Sunseri<br />
Staff Writer<br />
To date, 72 percent of American households<br />
mailed back <strong>the</strong>ir 2010 Census form<br />
in March and April. Now <strong>the</strong> census is in<br />
its second phase, <strong>the</strong> non-response follow<br />
up or door-to-door phase. United States<br />
Census takers will continue going doorto-door<br />
through July 10. An estimated 48<br />
million addresses will be visited, according<br />
to <strong>the</strong> U.S. Census Bureau.<br />
The goal of this operation is to obtain<br />
a completed form from every remaining<br />
household in order to obtain a final census<br />
count. The task, according to <strong>the</strong> U.S.<br />
Census Bureau requires <strong>the</strong> deployment<br />
of hundreds of thousands of temporary<br />
census workers who will knock on millions<br />
of doors in <strong>the</strong> neighborhoods where<br />
<strong>the</strong>y <strong>the</strong>mselves live.<br />
The census is a count of everyone residing<br />
in <strong>the</strong> United States. All U.S. residents<br />
must be counted, both citizens and<br />
non-citizens. The Census Bureau says<br />
<strong>the</strong>y can’t move forward until everyone<br />
in America is counted.<br />

About a month ago Staff Sgt. Daniel Arizmandi, a drummer for <strong>the</strong><br />
36th Army Band, was heading to his mailbox with his dog, Vato, at his<br />
side, when he heard yelling.<br />
“As I’m closing <strong>the</strong> mailbox, I hear a lady screaming hysterically,” he<br />
explained. “At first it sounded like someone was just playing around, but<br />
<strong>the</strong>n it started sounding serious.”<br />
As <strong>the</strong> young sergeant turned his head, he saw a woman running toward<br />
him holding a baby.<br />
The baby, 1-year-old Blanca Amill, was choking.<br />
“She [<strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r] handed me <strong>the</strong> baby,” he explained, describing her<br />
feeling more “wet teddy bear” than an infant.<br />
“Her head just hung and she was foaming [at <strong>the</strong> mouth] a little bit,”<br />
he noted.<br />
Arizmandi began administering <strong>the</strong> Heimlich maneuver, which, he<br />
explained he had learned to do through first aid training in <strong>the</strong> Army.<br />
“Then I switched to <strong>the</strong> baby [version],” he said, noting he had never<br />
received training on how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation to<br />
a child. “I think I picked it up from watching <strong>the</strong> news,” he added.<br />
After about three minutes and still no response, he still continued.<br />
Meanwhile, Vato was contributing by standing next to Blanca’s mom,<br />
Georgina Amill, and com<strong>fort</strong>ing her.<br />
He noted Blanca was hiccupping and crying, and coming in and phasing<br />
out for about five minutes, until <strong>the</strong> ambulance showed up.<br />
“She had come to by <strong>the</strong>n,” he explained.<br />
He says as he handed <strong>the</strong> baby off <strong>the</strong> ambulance personnel he began<br />
to feel <strong>the</strong> aftermath of an adrenaline rush.<br />
Later that night <strong>the</strong> family knocked on his door to thank <strong>the</strong>ir baby’s<br />

cardiopulmonary resuscitation to her while she was choking.<br />
hero. Georgina was finally calm enough to explain to Arizmandi what<br />
happened.<br />
“The baby started choking on a piece of food and when that happened<br />
she fell, which put her in shock,” he explained, noting that Blanca looked<br />
healthy and she was laughing when <strong>the</strong>y stopped by that night.<br />

In 1996, <strong>the</strong> American Nurses’ Association designated<br />
May 6–12 as permanent dates for Nurses Week<br />
so <strong>the</strong> celebration would end on Florence Nightingale’s<br />
birthday, one of <strong>the</strong> United States’ most famous nurses.<br />
In honor of National Nurses Week, Raymond<br />
W. Bliss Army Health Center sponsored several<br />
events paying tribute to <strong>the</strong>ir nurses and nurses<br />
around <strong>the</strong> nation.<br />
As National Nurses Week kicked off, RWBAHC<br />
displayed photos and descriptions of many nurses<br />
working throughout <strong>the</strong> organization. The display<br />
set up in <strong>the</strong> lobby allowed <strong>the</strong> nurses to tell <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
story, while at <strong>the</strong> same time educated <strong>the</strong> public<br />
about <strong>the</strong> role nurses play in meeting <strong>the</strong> health<br />
care needs of <strong>the</strong> American people.<br />
“Nursing is a hard job. It requires a lot of dedication,”<br />
says Lt. Col. Caron Wilbur, deputy commander<br />
for Health Services and a registered nurse. “Nothing<br />
is more gratifying than working with Soldiers. The<br />
reality of being a nurse fits in during deployment.”<br />
RWBAHC hosted a celebration potluck on Friday,<br />
where <strong>the</strong> participants watched 1940s-era<br />
videos that provided an overview of <strong>the</strong> Army<br />
Nurse Corps, showed <strong>the</strong> requirements to become<br />
a nurse — a high school education and antiquated<br />
demonstrations of artificial resuscitation.<br />
Today, in a technologically and medically advanced<br />
society, nurses are encouraged to continue<br />
THURSDAY, MAY 13, 2010<br />
Bobbette Homesly, practical nurse assigned at <strong>the</strong> Military Intelligence<br />
Student Clinic, provides care to Pfc. Mark Pisman, Company E, 309th<br />
Military Intelligence Battalion.<br />
working on <strong>the</strong>ir college education moving from associate<br />
to master’s degrees.<br />
Wilbur agreed, adding “Nursing is a flexible<br />
field. Nurses can pursue any path – forensics, case<br />
management, etcetera.”<br />
Rounding out Nurses Week, RWBAHC held<br />
its first accredited continuing education course<br />
Wednesday on nursing <strong>the</strong>orist, Dr. Faye Glenn<br />
Abdellah, who was <strong>the</strong> first nurse officer to receive<br />
<strong>the</strong> rank of two-star rear admiral. Highlights of<br />
her career were as <strong>the</strong> first nurse and first woman<br />
to serve as <strong>the</strong> deputy Surgeon General. She also<br />
founded <strong>the</strong> Graduate School of Nursing at <strong>the</strong><br />
Uniformed Services University of <strong>the</strong> Health Sciences<br />
where she served as <strong>the</strong> school’s first dean.<br />
RWBAHC thanks nurses for <strong>the</strong>ir dedication,<br />
commitment and ef<strong>fort</strong> as <strong>the</strong>y care today to create<br />
a healthier tomorrow.

Sierra Vista Public Library: They’ll beg, borrow for you<br />
By David Gunckel<br />
Library Director<br />
The Sierra Vista Public Library has a collection<br />
of approximately 100,000 books developed<br />
over <strong>the</strong> years.<br />
That may sound like a lot of books, but in spite<br />
of <strong>the</strong> best ef<strong>fort</strong>s of <strong>the</strong> librarians, no library has<br />
every book people request. So, libraries depend<br />
on interlibrary loans to provide customers access<br />
to more books.<br />
The SVPL has a database that includes<br />
179,000,000 books and o<strong>the</strong>r library materials<br />
in over 400 languages. At customer request, <strong>the</strong><br />
library staff asks ano<strong>the</strong>r library to send SVPL<br />
a particular title and once received, <strong>the</strong> library<br />
staff notifies <strong>the</strong> customer.<br />

McChrystal, Eikenberry express confidence in Afghanistan strategy<br />
By Donna Miles<br />
American Forces Press Service<br />
WASHINGTON — Here for Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s visit<br />
this week with President Barack Obama and o<strong>the</strong>r high-level administration<br />
officials, <strong>the</strong> top military commander and senior U.S. diplomat<br />
in Afghanistan both expressed confidence today that <strong>the</strong> U.S. strategy<br />
being employed <strong>the</strong>re will succeed.<br />
“Seeing clearly <strong>the</strong> challenges in front of us, I have confidence our<br />
campaign plan will succeed,” Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of<br />
U.S. forces and <strong>the</strong> International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan,<br />
told reporters in <strong>the</strong> White House briefing room, Monday.<br />
U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, expressed similar<br />
confidence in progress taking shape. “I’ve got cautious optimism that<br />
we’re making progress right now on an array of areas that are critical to<br />
our combined success with Afghanistan,” he said.<br />
“We’re having military successes,” he added. “We’re having success<br />
in terms of working with <strong>the</strong> government on a basis of partnership to<br />
steadily improve <strong>the</strong> capacity and accountability of <strong>the</strong> government.<br />
We’re making a great success in trying to come up with ways to make<br />
progress in <strong>the</strong> economy.”<br />
Eikenberry expressed hope that this week’s sessions will reaffirm mutual<br />
commitment toward building on this success while addressing challenges<br />
yet to be confronted.<br />
“Our two governments will frankly address <strong>the</strong>se challenges in <strong>the</strong><br />
next few days, with an eye on developing common solutions and with<br />
confidence that we have now <strong>the</strong> necessary resources, <strong>the</strong> appropriate<br />
strategy and <strong>the</strong> national will to make continued progress,” he said.<br />
The top strategic priority in Afghanistan is development of Afghan national<br />
security forces that ultimately will secure <strong>the</strong> country, McChrystal<br />
told reporters. “Much work lies ahead to mature this force,” he said,<br />
“but its growth is largely on track.”<br />
Meanwhile, McChrystal called securing <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn part of Afghanistan<br />
<strong>the</strong> top operational priority, and cited additional forces flowing into<br />
Afghanistan to support Afghan ef<strong>fort</strong>s as key to its success.<br />
He noted operations started 10 months ago into Taliban-controlled<br />
parts of <strong>the</strong> Helmand River valley that expanded <strong>the</strong> Afghan government’s<br />
influence <strong>the</strong>re. Earlier this year, more U.S. forces arrived to<br />
partner with Afghans and secure parts of central Helmand that had<br />
remained under Taliban control.<br />
Additional arriving forces will reinforce ongoing ef<strong>fort</strong>s to secure Kandahar<br />
in an Afghan-led operation that McChrystal said focuses on <strong>the</strong><br />
province’s complex political and governance issues. “These dimensions<br />

US, Afghan defense leaders agree to long-term partnership<br />
By Jim Garamone<br />
American Forces Press Service<br />
WASHINGTON — Senior U.S. and Afghan officials<br />
Tuesday agreed to explore ways to broaden and<br />
deepen defense cooperation between <strong>the</strong> two countries<br />
and establish a long-term partnership for <strong>the</strong> future,<br />
Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said.<br />
Tuesday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates<br />
hosted Afghan Defense Minister Abdul Rahim<br />
Wardak, Interior Minister Mohammad Hanif Atmar<br />
and Afghan Intelligence Chief Amrullah Saleh<br />
during a 90-minute Pentagon meeting.<br />
The meeting is part of a series of discussions<br />
between U.S. and Afghan officials built around Afghan<br />
President Hamid Karzai’s visit here.<br />
“This is a very important week for our partnership,<br />
for our relationship,” Gates told <strong>the</strong> group at<br />
<strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> meeting.<br />
Chairman of <strong>the</strong> Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy<br />
Adm. Mike Mullen, Michele Flournoy, <strong>the</strong> undersecretary<br />
of defense for policy; Army Gen. Stanley<br />
McChrystal, <strong>the</strong> U.S. and NATO commander<br />
in Afghanistan; and Mike Vickers, <strong>the</strong> assistant<br />
secretary of defense for special operations and<br />
low-intensity conflict, joined Gates and <strong>the</strong> senior<br />
Afghan officials in <strong>the</strong> meeting.<br />
Morrell said <strong>the</strong> meeting went well and <strong>the</strong>re<br />
was broad agreement among <strong>the</strong> parties on <strong>the</strong><br />
way forward in Afghanistan. “This is about, how<br />
do we build an enduring, long-term partnership<br />
with Afghanistan,” he said.<br />
Sgt. David Pooler scans <strong>the</strong> area across <strong>the</strong> Kunar<br />
River as he provides security in <strong>the</strong> Noorgal<br />
district in Afghanistan’s Konar province, May<br />

council meeting. Pooler is assigned to Company<br />

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, right, talks with his guest,<br />
Afghan Minister of Defense Abdul Rahim Wardak, as <strong>the</strong>y walk<br />
through a cordon of honor guards during Tuesday’s arrival ceremonies<br />
at <strong>the</strong> Pentagon. The two defense leaders, joined by<br />
Afghan Minister of <strong>the</strong> Interior Mohammed Hanif Atmar and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
senior defense officials from both nations, met to examine <strong>the</strong><br />
current situation in Afghanistan and discuss <strong>the</strong> way forward.<br />
The two countries agreed to begin a regular,<br />
high-level defense dialogue, Morrell said. Details<br />
such as how often meetings are held and who<br />
<strong>the</strong> players are, he said, are yet to be worked out,<br />
but <strong>the</strong> agreement signifies <strong>the</strong> United States’<br />
concern for Afghanistan and its desire to remain<br />
involved with that country.<br />
“‘The relationship must be an enduring one; it<br />
is in our mutual interests to do this,’” Morrell quoted<br />
Gates as saying.<br />
The officials discussed how <strong>the</strong> relationship<br />
should evolve. Gates believes <strong>the</strong> relationship be-<br />
tween <strong>the</strong> United States and Afghanistan must be<br />
enduring and not predicated just on <strong>the</strong> need to<br />
fight <strong>the</strong> current war. The United States, Morrell<br />
said, stands ready to continue training, equipping<br />
and advising Afghan security forces, and in assisting<br />
in counternarcotics and counterterrorism ef<strong>fort</strong>s<br />
long after <strong>the</strong> current conflict has been decided.<br />
The United States wants to reassure <strong>the</strong> Afghan<br />
government that it “is not going to repeat <strong>the</strong><br />
mistakes of <strong>the</strong> late ’80s and early ’90s, when we<br />
turned our back [on Afghanistan and Pakistan]<br />
and walked away from <strong>the</strong> relationships,” Morrell<br />
said. “I think <strong>the</strong>re is clearly … a trust deficit …<br />
that clearly needs to be addressed.”<br />
The group also talked about regional security<br />
and <strong>the</strong> evolving trilateral relationship among Afghanistan,<br />
Pakistan and <strong>the</strong> United States. They<br />
discussed developments of <strong>the</strong> Afghan security<br />
forces. Gates noted <strong>the</strong> success <strong>the</strong> Afghan security<br />
forces have had with increasing <strong>the</strong>ir numbers.<br />
“Obviously, <strong>the</strong>re are quality issues that need<br />
to be addressed in <strong>the</strong> long term,” Morrell said.<br />
The group also discussed <strong>the</strong> transition of security<br />
responsibility to Afghan forces. They discussed<br />
<strong>the</strong> July 2011 date that President Barack<br />
Obama has set to begin that transition.<br />
“Everybody was in agreement that transition<br />
was a process, not an event,” Morrell said. “July<br />
2011 will be <strong>the</strong> beginning of a conditions-based<br />
process. But even as that process evolves, we<br />
will enjoy a robust military-to-military partnership<br />
well into <strong>the</strong> future.”

Army testing faster network<br />
connections for deploying units<br />
By Staff Sgt. Paula Taylor<br />
NETCOM/9th SC (A) Public Affairs<br />
Many Soldiers know computers, and <strong>the</strong> network<br />
<strong>the</strong>y connect to, play an integral part in <strong>the</strong><br />
Army’s daily operations. Being able to quickly<br />
log onto that network, open an e-mail program,<br />
and instantly send a message across <strong>the</strong> area<br />
of operations can be a long, drawn-out process<br />
when relocating a unit in and out of <strong>the</strong>ater. To<br />
some, it may seem as simple as sticking a Common<br />
Access Card into <strong>the</strong> reader and typing a<br />
personal identification number, but for <strong>the</strong> sig-<br />

nal Soldiers responsible for ensuring everyone<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir unit has access to <strong>the</strong> vast network, a<br />
lot must happen behind <strong>the</strong> scenes — or at least<br />
it used to be a lot of work.<br />
Thanks to an upcoming operational validation,<br />
initiated and overseen by <strong>the</strong> 9th Signal<br />
Command (Army), logging on to <strong>the</strong> Army’s<br />
network may soon be faster and easier than<br />
ever before.<br />
“For anyone who has served in a deployable<br />
unit, especially in a brigade combat team, <strong>the</strong><br />
[process of getting Soldiers online] can be a<br />
nightmare,” explained Sgt. 1st Class Ira Atencio,<br />
United States Army Communications-Electronics<br />
Command COMSEC (communications<br />
security) Logistics Activity.<br />
Atencio, who was formerly assigned to <strong>the</strong> 4th<br />
Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, as<br />
<strong>the</strong> senior systems data integrator, explained<br />
what his unit went through to stay connected<br />
as <strong>the</strong>y deployed to Iraq and redeployed back<br />
to Fort Bliss, Texas.<br />
“Our computers were part of <strong>the</strong> Fort Bliss<br />
domain,” Atencio explained. “Upon arriving in<br />
Kuwait, we had to join <strong>the</strong> Kuwait/Central Command<br />
domain,” he said. “This meant I had to<br />
baseline, which literally means wiping <strong>the</strong> entire<br />
hard drive, and re-imaging <strong>the</strong> computer with<br />
<strong>the</strong> specifications set <strong>fort</strong>h by <strong>the</strong> Directorate<br />
of Information Management in Kuwait. I had<br />
to <strong>the</strong>n drop off <strong>the</strong> computers at <strong>the</strong> DOIM,<br />
no more than three at a time, so <strong>the</strong>y could get<br />
scanned. If <strong>the</strong>y passed <strong>the</strong> scan, <strong>the</strong>n my computers<br />
were added to <strong>the</strong> domain. If not, I had<br />
to correct <strong>the</strong> problem, <strong>the</strong>n take it [computer]<br />
back to <strong>the</strong> DOIM for rescanning. The usual<br />
turnaround was 24 to 48 hours. We also had to<br />
have each user fill out a user request form to get<br />
access to <strong>the</strong> domain. This also usually took 24<br />
to 48 hours,” Atencio said.<br />
“Upon being deployed to Iraq, <strong>the</strong> process of<br />
baselining and submitting user requests was<br />
repeated to join <strong>the</strong> Iraq/CENTCOM domain<br />
and for our own 4th BCT domain. When we redeployed<br />
to Bliss, <strong>the</strong> entire process of joining<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir domain was played out again. The wait<br />
was usually a week,” Atencio added.<br />
The 9th Signal Command is taking <strong>the</strong> concept<br />
of “Train as You Fight” to a new level. Under<br />
this new process, when a unit deploys, Soldiers<br />
will simply unplug from <strong>the</strong> wall, put <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
laptop in <strong>the</strong> rucksack and arrive in <strong>the</strong>ater,<br />
without ever having to baseline or even getting<br />
a new e-mail address.<br />
“There will be no baseline required, no new<br />
accounts — nothing — it’s exactly as it was when<br />
<strong>the</strong>y got on <strong>the</strong> plane,” said Steve Roberts, G-3<br />
operations, 9th SC (A). “Soldiers will contact <strong>the</strong><br />
nearest network enterprise center for helpdesk<br />
trouble tickets and drive on as if <strong>the</strong>y were at<br />
home station.”<br />
Atencio said he thinks <strong>the</strong> plug-and-play<br />
model would significantly reduce <strong>the</strong> workload<br />
for signal Soldiers working in an automations<br />
section because it would allow commanders to<br />
get to work immediately and not have to wait<br />
on a computer that has to be added to a new<br />
domain. This, he said, would also ensure each<br />
installation has <strong>the</strong> same specifications, regardless<br />
of where a Soldier is stationed, worldwide.<br />
To test <strong>the</strong> concept, <strong>the</strong> 9th SC (A), working<br />
with <strong>the</strong>ir subordinate unit, <strong>the</strong> 5th Signal Command<br />
in Germany, called on <strong>the</strong> help of <strong>the</strong> 75th<br />
Fires Brigade from Fort Sill, Okla.<br />
The Soldiers and <strong>the</strong>ir computers from <strong>the</strong><br />
75th Fires Brigade will unplug at Sill, fly to<br />
Germany and plug back in, said Roberts.<br />
“We have started <strong>the</strong> data replication process,”<br />
said Roberts. “Grafenwoerhr, Germany,<br />
will represent <strong>the</strong> [combat] environment.”<br />
If <strong>the</strong> test is a success, <strong>the</strong> 9th SC (A), <strong>the</strong> unit<br />
responsible for <strong>the</strong> Army’s computer network,<br />
will begin <strong>the</strong> planning stages to ensure all units<br />
know <strong>the</strong> steps needed for <strong>the</strong> plug and play<br />
process. The OPVAL was scheduled to officially<br />
be completed on May 9.<br />
“Although this process is a few years from<br />
being Army-wide, <strong>the</strong> 9th SC (A) is leading <strong>the</strong><br />
charge in <strong>the</strong> enterprise transformation process,”<br />
said Roberts.<br />
ant colonel which country he is from. I can only conclude that educating<br />
my fellow Americans about Asian and Pacific Americans is a full-time,<br />
365-day observance — not one month a year.<br />
So, now you understand why I am offended when <strong>the</strong> word “American”<br />
is left out of “Asia Pacific American Heritage” banners and flyers, and why<br />
I feel disrespected and patronized when I see a poster of an Asian country<br />
or a Pacific island, or a photo of a foreigner. Asian and Pacific Americans<br />
want to celebrate being American — we’re proud and patriotic — and,<br />
we’re red, white and blue — just like you!<br />
Note: Since immigrating five generations ago, my family has served in<br />
all four services and in: Pearl Harbor — wounded, World War II — as a<br />
“Yankee Samurai”, U.S. Occupation of Japan, Korean War, Vietnam War,<br />
and Desert Shield/Storm. I, retired Col. Dr. Kim, and three of my bro<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

sensitive HUMINT programs in <strong>the</strong> Republic<br />
of Vietnam. In 1975 Matlack retired from<br />
federal service and, in 1987, she was inducted<br />
into <strong>the</strong> Military Intelligence Hall of Fame. She<br />
continued her service as an MI Corps ambassador<br />
until her death in 1991. Two of Matlack’s<br />
grandchildren, retired colonels Henry Hughes<br />
and John Hughes were present to assist in<br />
Tuesday’s dedication ceremony.<br />
Matlack Hall will be home to three of <strong>the</strong> 10<br />
HUMINT courses taught on Fort Huachuca Defense<br />
Strategic Debriefing Course, which trains<br />
techniques and methodologies for conducting<br />
strategic debriefings and preparing appropriate<br />
reports; Joint HUMINT Officer Course, which<br />
trains entry and mid-level HUMINT managers<br />

Soldier in right place …<br />
From RIGHT PLACE, Page 4A<br />
“[Georgina] told me if it wasn’t for me bringing her back in<br />
those five minutes [Blanca] might had some brain damage,”<br />
he added. “I never imagined I would [give CPR] to a baby.<br />
It’s a different feeling having a baby’s life in your hands, as<br />
opposed to an adult.”<br />
Arizmandi believes fate put him at his mailbox that particular<br />
day, at that specific time.<br />
“It’s crazy because normally when I get home I blast <strong>the</strong><br />
radio, change [and] do chores,” he explained. “But for some<br />
reason, this day, I felt like I needed to check <strong>the</strong> mail. If I<br />
would have had <strong>the</strong> music blasting I would have never heard<br />
<strong>the</strong> screams.”<br />
“I felt like I did a good deed,” he added. “I’ve been to Iraq<br />
but that’s a different kind of deed; something like this makes<br />
me feel like I have some kind of good karma coming to me.”<br />
Arizmandi is a native of Brownsville, Texas. He joined<br />
<strong>the</strong> Army after graduating from high school and has been<br />
enlisted for eight years.<br />
He said he plans to keep in touch with <strong>the</strong> family. They<br />
attended an award presentation April 29, on post, and<br />
noted he attended a barbecue at <strong>the</strong> Amill’s residence a few<br />
weekends ago.<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Defense HUMINT Enterprise; and <strong>the</strong><br />
Joint Source Validation Course, which trains<br />
techniques and methodologies for conducting<br />
and managing <strong>the</strong> source validation process.<br />
“Through a lot of hard work and senior leaders<br />
committing <strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong>ir organizations<br />
to an integrated enterprise ef<strong>fort</strong>,<br />
<strong>the</strong> DoD [Department of Defense] HUMINT<br />
community provides superb capabilities to<br />
commanders in <strong>the</strong> field and combatant commanders<br />
around <strong>the</strong> globe,” said James Rose,<br />
director, HT-JCOE.<br />
Currently, four of <strong>the</strong> 10 courses taught have<br />
been certified on behalf of <strong>the</strong> Joint Staff, and<br />
one of those has been validated by <strong>the</strong> HU-<br />
MINT Manager tradecraft.<br />

are at <strong>the</strong> heart of <strong>the</strong> problem, and<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir solution will ultimately be decisive,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Our ef<strong>fort</strong>s in Afghanistan are ultimately<br />
about changing <strong>the</strong> perceptions<br />
of people,” said McChrystal, emphasizing<br />
<strong>the</strong> importance he has placed on<br />
preventing civilian casualties while<br />
enhancing security and o<strong>the</strong>r developments.<br />
“Afghans long impacted by conflict<br />
and struggle believe more of what <strong>the</strong>y<br />
see than what <strong>the</strong>y hear,” <strong>the</strong> general<br />
said. “Only when <strong>the</strong>y experience security<br />
from [insurgent] coercion, and only<br />
when <strong>the</strong>y benefit from better governance,<br />
will <strong>the</strong>y begin to believe in <strong>the</strong><br />
possibilities of <strong>the</strong> future.”<br />
It’s a process McChrystal conceded<br />
won’t be easy or happen overnight. “It<br />
will demand courage and resilience,” he<br />
said. “We encounter increased violence<br />
eral, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence<br />
and Fort Huachuca said, “Since April<br />
2007, HT-JCOE has been <strong>the</strong> gold standard of<br />
human intelligence training. We will continue<br />
to build upon <strong>the</strong> enormous progress already<br />
made by <strong>the</strong> Army and <strong>the</strong> Department of Defense<br />
including innovations and doctrine, training,<br />
force structure, and operations.”<br />
Matlack Hall looks like a typical general instruction<br />
building; however, it contains specialized<br />
training venues where students interact<br />
with role-players and audio visual equipment<br />
which allows <strong>the</strong>m to review <strong>the</strong> interaction.<br />
HT-JCOE originally opened its doors in 2006,<br />
and since that time has trained 6,197 students<br />
from o<strong>the</strong>r services and agencies.<br />

The grandchildren of Dor<strong>the</strong> Matlack present tokens of appreciation to Cherie Wallace, deputy<br />
director, HT-JCOE; Carol Albert, executive assistant to <strong>the</strong> director; and James Rose, director,<br />
HT-JCOE for <strong>the</strong> service <strong>the</strong>y provided to <strong>the</strong> Matlack family.<br />
as our combined security forces expand<br />
into Taliban-controlled areas.”<br />
Asked his view of Karzai’s reconciliation<br />
plans involving <strong>the</strong> Taliban,<br />
McChrystal said <strong>the</strong> most important<br />
thing is that it be “an Afghan solution<br />
crafted by Afghans.” In addition, such<br />
reconciliation ef<strong>fort</strong>s must be inclusive<br />
and “feel fair to everyone,” he said, ensuring<br />
“everybody has <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />
to reintegrate in or rejoin <strong>the</strong> political<br />
process.”<br />
McChrystal acknowledged Iran’s<br />
reach into Afghanistan, but said most<br />
of it is “fairly legitimate.”<br />
“There is evidence [and] intelligence<br />
that indicates some malign activity as<br />
well,” he said, noting insurgent training<br />
and arms shipments. “But, <strong>the</strong>y are not<br />
significant in numbers, and <strong>the</strong>y have<br />
not been enough to change <strong>the</strong> basic calculus<br />
of <strong>the</strong> fight at this point.”

t’s about what <strong>the</strong>y’re able to do for <strong>the</strong> troops.<br />
“We just want to thank <strong>the</strong> troops; if it wasn’t for <strong>the</strong><br />
