Storm

faithful
Leaders reward 33 for
exceptional reaction
to Typhoon Kompasu
By Russell Wicke
IMCOM Korea Public Affairs

YONGSAN GARRISON, Korea —

Typhoon Kompasu demanded an au-
dience when it menaced nearly all the
military garrisons in South Korea the
morning of Sept. 2. In only a few hours
the storm crunched down approxi-
mately 3,000 trees, flooded streets,
damaged buildings, blocked roads and
took the lights out at every affected
garrison – a sum in damages that ap-
proached $10 million.
Hundreds of people responded to
the aftermath contributing to recovery
efforts – but 33 were noted for their un-
usual tenacity and commitment to the
cause.
These select few distinguished
themselves by giving far more than
was expected. Among the faithful
were cooks who took up chain saws,

Safety Programs: focus on lives, not costs
By Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch
IMCOM Commander
As Commanding General of Instal-
lation Management Command, the
Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation
Management and the co-chair of the
Services and Infrastructure Core En-
terprise, my installation management
and safety responsibilities extend be-
yond the boundaries of IMCOM. My
Commander’s Intent is to provide the
facilities, programs and services re-
quired to support Army readiness,
sustain the all-volunteer force and pro-
vide the infrastructure for current and
future mission requirements.
Safety is key to accomplishing my
intent. It involves the prevention of
material loss, but the focus is really
on saving lives. Each loss, whether in
combat or in the garrison, has an im-
pact on our force.
In September I spoke at the Army
Senior Safety Tactical Symposium. It
was my opportunity to say “thank you”
to almost 500 safety professionals for
the work they do to keep Soldiers, Ci-
vilians and Families safe. Their work
impacts the conditions in which we
train, work, live and play, both on duty
and off duty. This includes driver train-
ing, home safety, child and family safe-
ty, weather conditions assessment, fire
prevention, hazardous material han-
dling, and weapons and range safety,
to name just a few ways in which their
work touches our daily lives.
I thanked them for their continu-
ing diligence, their continuing efforts
to monitor trends and address issues
to prevent loss. A recent example was
a six-month Army-wide fire safety
campaign in 2009. The campaign was
launched to reverse the increasing
number of military housing and facili-
ty fires, and succeeded in netting more
than $20 million in cost avoidance in
the second half of the year. An ongo-
ing example is a motor vehicle and
Safety
motorcycle traffic safety program that
is contributing to a downward trend in
accidental fatalities. We are at the low-
est level in more than seven years, and
other military services are looking at
our model.
So we can point to examples of how
our Safety Program is working. Howev-
er, as I said to the safety professionals
for whose work I am truly grateful, we
can never become complacent or act as
if what we are doing is good enough as
long as we are still losing lives through
senseless, preventable accidents.
Everyone is a safety officer. Every-
one has an obligation to look out for
themselves and the Soldiers, Civil-
ians and Families around them. The
requirements are in place—we have
The Army Safety Program, AR 385-10
and IMCOM’s Safety Program Regu-
lation—so we need to make sure we
act on them. In order to improve our
safety efforts, there are six things I ask
us all to consider:
First, we will not cut corners or
funds to save money at the expense of
our Safety Program. It is fundamentally
unwise to do so. Why would we want to
negatively affect a program that saves
lives? Rather than cutting corners to
save money, we should put money to-
ward the right resources in order to
improve the Safety Program. In doing
so, we will have a positive impact in
keeping the Army Family intact.
Second, when we allocate resources
for Safety Programs, we need to make
sure to reach all members of the Army
Family, not just active duty Soldiers.
Funds need to be allocated for our
Safety Programs to reach Soldiers of all
components, retirees, Civilians and all
their Families. Only by reaching every
member of our communities can we
instill a culture that puts safety first – a
culture that protects our Army Family
and keeps the Army mission ready.
Third, everyone must support the
Senior Commanders as they are re-
sponsible for the life of every Soldier,
Civilian and Family member on their
installation. Everyone must embrace
the Safety Program and be actively in-
volved. While the Commander is the
one ultimately responsible for mis-
sion accomplishment and the safety of
people and resources assigned to him
or her, all of us must know the Safety
Program and carry it out to standard.
The Safety Program is the Command-
er’s program and all of us are safety of-
ficers.
Fourth, I have been a motorcycle
driver my entire adult life and have
never had a motorcycle accident. I
firmly believe that it is not a matter of
luck, but preparation. I drive my mo-
torcycle only if I have the right frame of
mind, the right protective equipment
and a planned route.
Many people label motorcycles as
unsafe. However, it is not the motorcy-
cle that is unsafe, it is the driver. That
is why leaders need to make sure the
appropriate safety training is available
prior to a new rider driving a motor-
cycle. It is not smart for an untrained
motorcycle driver to drive his or her
new motorcycle on post in order to
learn how to operate it properly. Mo-
torcycle driving simulators are neces-
sary and should be made available at
every IMCOM installation.
Fifth, the Installation Management
Campaign Plan 2.0 is being launched
this month at the Garrison Command-
ers’ Conference in San Antonio. The
plan’s Line of Effort on Safety charges
commanders and other leaders to
lead the way in changing behavior to
prevent accidents, and to empower
Soldiers, Civilians and Families at
all levels to speak up when they see
someone ignoring safety rules or doing
something risky. Safety is everyone’s
business, and it is our responsibility to
ensure safe performance in all we do.

By Brig. Gen. David Fox
IMCOM Korea commander
As the Commander of IMCOM Korea, I am firmly com-
mitted to the safety of all. Soldiers, Civilians, Family mem-
bers and Contractors living and working on IMCOM Korea
garrisons. Safety is a leadership responsibility and I expect
everyone to join me in the safety effort and stay actively en-
gaged in reducing accidents on and off duty.
Leaders are responsible for the safety of their employees
and enforcement of safety standards. All leaders, from first-
line supervisors to Garrison Commanders, must be person-
ally involved in the safety effort of their garrisons. Safety
does not belong solely with leaders; it is also an individual
responsibility. Employees must comply with safety stan-
dards to ensure personal safety and that of their coworkers.
The costs of accidents are high. Medical costs, worker’s
compensation, lost productivity, increased workload among
other employees and property damages are just a few of the
associated costs of accidents. Some costs are not linked with
a dollar value; accidents can have a negative effect on the
morale of the workforce and emotional impact on the em-
ployee’s Family.
Accidents can be prevented by following and enforcing
standards, reporting hazards to your supervisor and avoid-
ing the risks associated with taking shortcuts. Leaders must
identify and eliminate or reduce hazards through composite
risk management and workplace hazard assessments. Re-
port all accidents to your supervisor and ensure accident in-
vestigations are conducted and corrective actions are taken.
We work in a high Ops-tempo environment; it’s im-
perative that common sense prevails and standards are en-
forced. Resources are scarce and you are our most valuable
resource. I expect all leaders and employees to join me in
making IMCOM Korea garrisons a safe and healthy place for
all to live and work. x

Police Blotter
The following entries were ex-
cerpted from the police blotters
the previous week. These entries
may be incomplete and do not
imply guilt or innocence.

USAG Red Cloud

Housebreaking; Assault and
Battery: Subject entered a resi-
dence without permission and
was asked by occupant to leave.
Instead, the subject grabbed oc-
cupant by the neck and bit him
on the right, middle and pinky
fingers. Subject was detained
when Korean police arrived. The
victim declined to file charges.
The subject was transported
by military police to U.S. Army
Garrison Red Cloud detention
facility. He was administered a
breath test with a result of 0.298
percent blood-alcohol content.
Due to his level of intoxication,
the subject was released to his
unit with instructions to report
back the next day. At that time
he was advised of his legal rights,
which he waived rendering a
written sworn statement admit-
ting to Housebreaking but deny-
ing the Assault.

USAG Humphreys
Spouse Abuse; Assault and
Battery; Damage to Private Prop-
erty: Subject and victim were
involved in a verbal altercation
which turned physical when the
subject repeatedly shoved the
victim to the ground and held
her down with his body weight.
The victim bit the subject in
self defense. When she tried to
contact military police, the sub-
ject confiscated and slammed
the cell phone on the ground,
destroying it, and then fled the
scene. Military police located the
subject and escorted him to U.S.
Army Garrison Humphreys de-
tention facility. The subject was
advised of his legal rights, which
he waived rendering a written
sworn statement admitting the
offenses.
USAG Daegu

Klonopin pills and was escorted
to the emergency room.
Korean Folk Band: Stories told through rhythm
A member of the Korean Farmers’ Folk Band dances to traditional music performed for tourists in September at the
Tradional Korean Folk Village located Jeonla-do near Seoul. The performance is more than music and dance because it
incorporates story telling. The Nongak band instruments consistss of Kisu (farming tools), Jaebi (gong, drum and sogo) and
Jabsaek (Yangban, Hwasang, bride, and mudong) and plays diverse entertainment to the command of the leading instrument

Sports activities support Soldier Fitness
By Col. Joseph P. Moore
Commander, U.S. Army
Garrison Humphreys
During the past couple of years,
Comprehensive Soldier Fitness has
been an important topic for our Army.
Under CSF, which has the vision
of producing “an Army of balanced,
healthy, self-confident Soldiers, Fami-
lies and Army Civilians, whose resil-
ience and total fitness enables them
to thrive in an era of high operational
tempo and persistent conflict,” there
are five dimensions of strength: physi-
cal, emotional, social, Family and spir-
itual.
Physical strength, which is “per-
forming and excelling in physical ac-
tivities that require aerobic fitness,
endurance, strength, healthy body
composition and flexibility through
exercise, nutrition and training,” is at
the top of the list at Humphreys Gar-
rison.
Whether it is providing compre-
hensive fitness programs through one
of our state-of-the-art gymnasiums or
sports events for our Soldiers, Civilians
or Family members living in the Hum-
phreys community, there is something
for everyone when it comes to physical
fitness.
Recently, we hosted a triathlon and
more than 40 individuals competed in
the 400 meter swim, 20 kilometer bike
and 5 kilometer run. Our Labor Day
five kilometer run attracted over 100
participants of all ages.
The installation sports season is
in full swing with Flag Football, Pow-
der Puff and post-level soccer teams
competing against other teams from
around the peninsula. Also, the unit
intramural and KATUSA league soccer
and Flag Football teams compete here
locally against each other.
We have 23 teams with kids ages 4
to 16 playing youth sports soccer this
fall and we anticipate just as many will
sign up for basketball and cheer lead-
ing season. A winter youth swim team
is now forming for kids ages 6 to 18.
Last spring the Road Runners youth
running club was created and to date,

at the IMCP’s Safety LOE and ask your-

When we think about the Safety

our efforts on finding different ways to
reduce costs, but on how to make our
Safety Program better. It is about sav-
ing the lives of our Army Family. That
is the passion every individual must
pursue. When you practice safety and
teach others about safety, you are sav-
ing lives – and I cannot think of a high-
er calling. x

units were doing their best to tout her

As the second in what he has
proclaimed to be a series of Good

CAMP STANLEY – With summer
fading fast and the traditional
Korean holiday Chuseok past, the
Better Opportunity for Single and
Unaccompanied Soldiers chapter
threw a block party Sept. 24 on the
softball field for servicemembers living
in southwest Uijeongbu.
Just three days after record rainfall
in Seoul and during a spectacularly
sunny and warm early fall afternoon,
BOSS pulled out all the stops to leave
Soldiers with a memorable End of
Summer Bash – as it was billed. Among
the events were a dunking booth, four-
on-four half court basketball, soccer, a
tug of war, golf chipping, a barbecue
ribs cook-off, children’s games and
much more.
“We’re divided by unit and don’t
often get to meet others on post,”
said Spc. Destiny Doppler, Camp
Stanley’s BOSS vice president and
a Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 304th Signal Battalion
Soldier. “We have a lot of new Soldiers
so it is a great way to meet other people
and create friendships. We just wanted
them to see there is more than just
their unit out here.”
The Camp Stanley consolidated
dining facility also did its part to make
it a special event by serving lunch on
the field. They cooked up barbecued
chicken, ribs, hamburgers and hot dogs
and provided all the usual trimmings
for the picnic atmosphere.
On the fields of strife, the 61st
Maintenance Company defeated
the 560th Medical Company in the
tug of war and HHC, 304th Signal
Bn. defeated the 61st Maintenance
Company in four-on-four basketball.
While not as boisterous, the
rib cook-off quietly waged by nine
contestants on the far end of the field
was for installation bragging rights.
Each entry was evaluated by four
judges according to its taste, texture,
tenderness and creativity.
When the smoke had cleared,
Sgt. 1st Class Walter Simmons, HHC,
304th Signal Battalion, had claimed
first prize and walked away with new
barbecue cooking utensils, a meat
thermometer, apron and a certificate
acknowledging his winning ribs.
While he enjoyed the friendly
competition, don’t expect him to
divulge his family’s secret any time
soon.
“The secret is in the rub before you
start cooking and then the special
sauce,” he said about the friendly
competition. “I can’t elaborate on the Soldiers from the 304th Signal Battalion

Warrior Country athletes crush 8th Army competition

By Kevin Jackson
USAG Red Cloud Public Affairs
CASEY GARRISON – Aundi
Lynch and Elijah Ash spearheaded a
dominating performance by Warrior
Country athletes at the 8th Army Track
and Field Championship Sept. 18 at
Schoonover Bowl.
Lynch from Headquarters and
Headquarters Battery, 1st Heavy
Brigade Combat Team, Camp Hovey,
won four first place awards in track and
field events and Ash from Company A,
70th Brigade Support Battalion, Casey
Garrison, claimed three in track events
helping Warrior Country Soldiers take
first place in 26 of the 30 events.
“I’m not surprised,” said Randy
Behr, Warrior Country sports, fitness
and aquatics director, about the
dominating performance. Christian Acosta (left), 302nd Brigade Support Battalion, and Aaron Brewer, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd

We also have more younger Soldiers
here.”
The only events they didn’t win
were the women’s 400-meter dash, the
men’s triple jump and the men’s discus
and shot-put events.
The latter two events were won by
Joe Staton, a civilian employee from
the 14th Signal Detachment at Camp
Walker. Xavier Brown, a Soldier from
the same unit, finished second in both
events.
Ian Rismiller and Tyler Roundtree,
both from Warrior Country, placed
third in the discus and shot put,
respectively.
The 23-year-old Lynch was the
single most dominant athlete at the
championship. Her 13.29 second first
place finish in the 100-meter dash was
only two seconds off the pace of the
men’s junior vet winning time and
nearly three seconds faster than the
best men’s senior time.
She also finished first in the women’s
200-meter dash in 27.93 seconds and
was on the women’s first place winning
4 x 100-meter relay team. Her 13 feet, 4
inch long jump was also good enough
for her to stake claim to a fourth first
place award. Amber Jordan, HHC, 2nd Battalion,
Ash, who participated in the men’s 9th Infantry Regiment, launches her
junior vets division, was nearly as
impressive. He staked claim to the first place-winning shot put heave of Aundi Lynch, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat

Yongsan hosts Korean & English Speech Contest

12th Annual competition brings cultures together by removing language, cultural barriers
By Spc. Rick Canfield
USAG Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea -
Crowds gathered to cheer on their families, friends
and comrades at the 12th Annual Korean and Eng-
lish Speech Contest. U.S. Soldiers battled it out us-
ing wit, charm and humor in Korea’s native tongue.
When the smoke cleared, Staff Sgt. Jamin E. Bassette,
Tango Security Force took the “Gold.” His pronuncia-
tion and emotional swagger induced laughter from
all members of the audience. His reward for a job
well done was a certificate, coin and wrapped prize.
On the other side of the coin stood a group of
third to fifth graders from the Seoul Elementary
School District. All the children were charming and
deserved great respect as they kept their bearing and
exhibited all the signs of great speakers. With eye
contact and great range of hand gestures the speech-
es left all entertained and often amazed at the high
level of skill each child possessed. These were not de-
pendent children with one parent being an Ameri-
can; these were typical Korean grade school students
rattling off English as if it were their first language.
The first place winner for the Third Graders
speaking English was 10 year-old Park, Ji-min, Shin-
Cheon Elementary School. “I have one younger sis-
ter and both my parents are Korean, my mother is a
high school teacher,” said Park. “My English teacher
is an American and when I get older, I wish to be an
English teacher too. I want to go to the United States
to learn and also teach in Korea.” Park with every Shin-Cheon Elementary School third grader Park Ji-min places first in the English Speaking Cat-

Taekwondo Soldiers bring spark to Collier Field House

More than 100 Soldiers participate in Taekwondo comp. By Cpl. Choe Yong-joon
USAG Yongsan Public Affairs

YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - With

more than a hundred Soldiers representing each in-
stallation around the peninsula showing their un-
wavering energy, the 2010 8th U.S. Army Command-
er’s Cup Combative Taekwondo Exhibition was held
Sept. 29 at USAG Yongsan Collier Field House.
The Taekwondo competition, sponsored by 8th
Army and 2nd Infantry Division Taekwondo Associa-
tion, and People to People - Seoul Chapter, consisted
of three separate events - sparring competition, war-
rior Combat Taekwondo module and form contest,
and breaking boards contest. The total points added
from each contest determined the winners of the
competition.
“We hold the first Combative Taekwondo competi-
tion to let people know the excellence of Korean Tae-
kwondo culture, and to give Soldiers entertainment
as well,” said Taekwondo Grand Master Kim Moon-
ok, the division senior instructor. “Combative Tae-
kwondo is more like a mix of traditional Taekwondo
and American wrestling skills such as takedown.”
As the starting bell rang, all competitors, wearing
protective gear for head, chest, forearms and legs as
well as gloves and mouthpiece, showed their own
fierce skill sets against opponents from head to toe in
two-minute rounds. Among the variety of skill sets,
throwing down and taking down were ones that re-
ceived the most rapturous ovation from spectators.

Domestic violence stops with prevention
By Sgt. Opal Vaughn
USAG Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic
of Korea - October is Domestic Abuse
Prevention Month and the Army Fam-
ily Advocacy Program is providing the
means for Servicemembers, Depart-
ment of Defense civilians and all de-
pendents to understand that domestic
violence stops with prevention, Sept.
28.
“Imagine an Army free of domes-
tic abuse. Prepare, prevent, protect,”
read Yongsan Family Advocacy Pro-
gram Specialist Pamela Williams from
a letter by Garrison Commander Col.
Bill Huber. “Army commanders, Sol-
diers, families, and all members of the
Community are in strategic positions
to lead the Army’s efforts to prevent
domestic abuse. If each person in the
community supports and participates
in educational programs that deal with
the challenges that accompany military
life, we can build and strengthen indi-
vidual and Family resiliency, maintain
readiness and stop domestic abuse.”
Domestic violence can happen to
anyone. It has many forms including
physical aggression, verbal, emotion-
al and mental abuse - controlling or
domineering, intimidation, stalking
and economic deprivation.
“It is clear that the leadership is fully
committed to support its Families and
Worldwide Day of Play is Nickel-
odeon’s signature health and wellness
event marked by its TV channels and
websites going off the air and offline
from noon to 3 p.m. to inspire kids and
families to go outside and get active.
The First Lady of the United States,
Michelle Obama, also joined Nickel-
odeon in celebrating Worldwide Day
of Play by sharing a special message
encouraging kids and families to turn
off their televisions and computers
and to get out and play.
The event featured various game
and program booths, along with food
stands selling American specialties.
Some special booths were free games
of Putt-Putt- and batting cages, face
painting, and hair braiding. The main

liams gives a speech about October being Domestic Abuse Prevention
Month and how everyone must do their part to prevent domestic violence,

overcome any negative forces that di-
minish their health and well-being.
Domestic abuse, in any degree of sever-
ity, undermines that commitment. The
Army values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect,
Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and
Personal Courage remain the founda-
tion of prevention efforts. It’s not easy
to report abuse and making the report
often requires Personal Courage.”
THE MORNING CALM
stage featured demonstrations from
Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration,
Exploration and Skills Unlimited, in-
cluding ballet, taekwondo, and gym-
nastics.
Several raffles also took place during
the event. Maj. Rick Taylor, Special
United States Liaison Activity Korea,
won the bicycle from one of the raf-
fles, donated by A Few Good Men.
“My daughter was performing in the
ballet demonstration, so we came and
just got lucky,” said Taylor. “We have
only been in Korea for two weeks and
our household goods are not here yet.
This will get my daughter something
to play with outside. She really want-
ed to get a bicycle.”
It is great to see the community and
all the kids having something to do on
the weekends. I think this is a wonder-
ful event, he added.
“We participated in this event for the
last couple of years. Each year, we nor-
mally come out and provide support
as far as barbeque. We are trying to
give back to the community by donat-
ing the bicycle. Most of the profits we
make by selling food here are going to
go toward the joy foundation which is
for homeless children in the Philip-
pines,” said Lorenzo Johnson from A
Few Good Men.
“Garrison Yongsan and the Installa-
tion Management Community sup-
ports all Soldiers, Families and Army
Civilians with quality programs and
safe communities that meet their
needs,” said USAG Yongsan Garrison
Commander Col. William Huber.
“We are keeping our promise to make
Yongsan a place where community
members can thrive.” x

Domestic violence does happen and
when it does, there is help. Maybe you
have lived with abuse. Maybe it hap-
pened just once or maybe you work
or live next to someone who is being
abused right now.

I do not find traveling the subways to be a
problem at all. Avoid the peak work com-
munte times when possbile is the best sug-
gestion. Subways are great Korea, they never
get stuck in traffic and go everywhere. A ride
from Yongsan to Camp Casey is around $1.
Can’t bet that.

Hannam Village residents sound off at Town Hall
By Pfc. Hong Moo-sun
USAG Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea - Doz-
ens of residents packed the seats at the Hannam Vil-
lage Town Hall Sept. 28, for a lively discussion about
community issues.
The Town Hall meetings are held quarterly and are
advertised at each building entrance and by word of
mouth. These meetings are held so that everyone on
Hannam Village has the chance to attend and voice
their concerns or their suggestions on how to improve
the quality of life here. Different organizations such as
Army Community Services, Chapel Services, 121 Hospi-
tal, Fire Services, etc are also invited to come and share
their expertise with the residents that don’t always have
the chance to get to Yongsan on a regular basis.
U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan Commander Col. Wil-
liam Huber, Command Sgt. Maj. Ralph Rusch, and
chiefs from many directorates participated in the
meeting. The meeting started with opening remarks
from Huber.
“Today I am here to hear your words about Hannam
Village,” he said. “I can stay here all night if you want.
We’ve got plenty of time, so take your time and tell me
what you want to say.”
After some announcements from Huber, residents ac-
tively engaged in the meeting by voicing concerns and
recommendations. The issues on the mind of most
residents were improper disposal of garbage and im-
proper use of the playground.
Huber and the residents brainstormed about ways to
solve the problem of trash piling up. Solutions includ-
ed awarding a new garbage contract, making the re-
quired trash bags more readily available and educating
residents about proper recycling habits. Participants in
the Town Hall also threw around ideas for making the
playground safer for younger kids, while preserving a
space for teenagers to hang out.
Huber took notes on the topics that couldn’t be re-
solved at the meeting, such as increasing the employ-
ment of spouses, and promised to take them back to
the office to work out a solution.
JoLinda Flemister, Hannam Village Mayor, said she is
very satisfied with the meeting.
“I really enjoyed this Town Hall meeting because
Col. Huber and his team did a great job making the
residents feel like they cared about the issues we have
that sometimes do not appear on Yongsan,” she said.
“This meeting had the largest number of participants
that I have seen in the three and half years that I have
been here. It was wonderful to see so many people take
time out of their evenings to come and share what they
think could be done to make things better. I hope that
this is just the beginning of what the residents do to
make Hannam Village the place where everyone wants
to live.”
“Garrison Yongsan and the Installation Management
Community supports all Soldiers, Families and Army
Civilians with quality programs and safe communities
that meet their needs,” said Garrison Commander Col.
Bill Huber. “We are keeping our promise to make Yong-
san a place where community members can thrive.” x

Columbus Day equals long weekend:
Be safe, avoid unnecessary hazards
By Brig. Gen. David Fox and
Command Sgt. Maj. David Abbott
IMCOM Korea Leadership
YONGSAN GARRISON, Korea –
America will celebrate Columbus Day
on October 11, 2010; a holiday com-
memorating Christopher Columbus’
first landing in the new world in 1492,
the genesis of a brave new nation. Co-
lumbus Day was proclaimed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1934 and declared a
federal holiday by President Nixon in
1971.
Many of our IMCOM Korea per-
sonnel will take advantage of a long
weekend and enjoy the cooler tem-
peratures. Holiday plans may include
driving long distances in their POVs.
Let me encourage you to drive defen-
sively. The traffic in Korea is always
heavy on weekends, and some drivers
will exceed the limit of their safe driv-
ing abilities. Fatigue will be a risk fac-
tor and is most prevalent between the
hours of 2300 and 0600.
Whether your plans include driving
to watch the sunrise on Soraksan or
pitching a tent and camping with the
Family, avoid alcohol. Alcohol impairs
your driving skills, reaction time and
judgment. Exceeding speed limits also
reduces reaction time and increases
risk. Get plenty of rest before depart-
ing, make sure your vehicle is in good
condition and ensure everyone wears
their seat belts.

Army takes silver at Softball Championship
Soldiers assigned to Korea
contribute to second place,
Air Force takes gold medal
Story and photo by Tim Hipps
FMWRC Public Affairs
NAVAL AIR STATION PENSACO-
LA, Fla. – Two Soldiers assigned to Ko-
rea contributed to the All-Army men’s
softball team taking the silver medal at
the Armed Forces Softball Champion-
ships Sept. 19-23.
The only thing that held the Army
team back from the gold was the All-
Air Force team, a team known in
Armed Forces sports for its uncanny
ability to clean up in softball.
“The Air Force is like the New York
Yankees of softball,” All-Army coach
Command Sgt. Maj. (ret.) Victor Ri-
vera said Wednesday after his team
squandered a 9-0 lead during a 19-10
loss to All-Air Force that all but se-
cured the gold for the Airmen. “The
Army is more dominant in some other
sports like boxing and wrestling, but in
softball, for some reason, the Air Force
has been the mark of success.”
“It’s just like playing the Yankees,
man, it’s the mystique,” echoed seven-
time All-Army third baseman Sgt. Mi-
chael Dochwat Jr. of Fort Shafter, Ha-
waii. “You try to mimic them.”
“They don’t worry,” added Sgt. 1st
Class Ralph Hodgdon of Fort Benning,
Ga. “When they get down, they just
play.”
All-Army entered the tournament
with nine “rookies” or first-time Armed
Forces competitors. They freely swung
the bats and confidently flashed their
leather and young legs against All-
Navy and All-Marines. When it came
time to face All-Air Force, however,
they tensed up.
“When we play the Marines Corps
and the Navy, we play relaxed,” Ri-
vera explained. “When we play the
Air Force, we let the emotions run too
high. You want to do so well against
them, you squeeze the bat a little tight-
er and you want to work on defense a
little harder.
“It’s like going into combat. You
train before you get there, but you
can’t let your emotions take over or you
cannot get to the end. It’s no different
here. You have to be able to keep your
emotions in check.”
Dochwat, who led the tourney with
a .704 batting average, and Hodgdon
both went 4-for-4 with a home run
as All-Army opened the tournament
Sunday with a 22-7 rout of All-Marine
Corps. Master Sgt. Lester Daniels of
Fort Gordon, Ga., had two homers, and
Sgt. Kenny Turlington of Fort Meade,
Md., Sgt. 1st Class Clayton Shaw of Fort
Campbell, Ky., Staff Sgt. Danny Rogers
of Camp Walker, Korea, and Master
NEWS
Staff Sgt. Danny Rogers from U.S. Army Garrison Walker, Korea, connects with a pitch
during the Armed Forces Softball Championship in Pensacola, Fla. Rogers is one of two
soldiers assigned to Korea who contributed to the Army taking the silver medal. With
a .556 batting average and 13 RBIs, he earned both All-Tournament and All-Armed
Forces honors as one of nine Armed Forces rookies on the All-Army men’s squad.
Sgt. Christopher Stevens of Okinawa,
Japan, all went 3-for-4.
Daniels, who led the tournament
with nine home runs, blasted two dur-
ing All-Army’s 10-6 victory over All-
Navy on Sunday night. Hodgdon and
Dochwat both went 2-for-3 and added
a homer.
Daniels, 39, helped All-Army win
Armed Forces crowns in 2001 and 2003
before taking a six-year hiatus to sup-
port troops in the field. In fact, every
Soldier on the All-Army team has de-
ployed at least once. Daniels missed
two tournaments while deployed in
Iraq and spent the past four years serv-
ing as a first sergeant. He spent this
tourney trying to top his 11 homers of
2003.
“I’m trying to hit it out every time,”
admitted Daniels, a 6-foot, 225-pound
“gym rat” who attributes his power
to a combination of bat speed and
strength.
All-Air Force batted around and
scored eight runs in the sixth inning
of their 18-12 victory over All-Army in
the noon game Monday. Daniels went
3-for-3 and stroked his fifth homer of
the tourney. Hodgdon was 2-for-3 with
a homer.
“We just put too much focus on the
Air Force,” Daniels said. “This tourney
has been a roller-coaster ride. We defi-
nitely have a lot of potential. We just
have to put it together consistently.”
Shaw went 2-for-4 with a homer and
Dochwat and Sgt. 1st Class Enrique
Mendieta of Fort Eustis, Texas, both
went 2-for-3 as All-Army bounced
back for a 14-5 victory over All-Navy in
the Monday nightcap. All-Army scored
four runs in the second inning on a
homer by Staff Sgt. Brandon Sonnen-
burg of Camp Casey, Korea, and a two-
run double by Sgt. Melvin DeRolf Jr. of
Fort Gordon, Ga. They added six runs
in the fifth on singles by Stevens, Tur-
lington, Shaw, Daniels Dochwat and a
walk by Hodgdon.
Tuesday morning, All-Air Force
pounded All-Army, 20-5. Hodgdon
went 3-for-3 with a homer and Doch-
wat was 3-for-3 with three singles. Dan-
iels was 1-for-3 with his sixth homer of
the tourney, but All-Air Force scored
THE MORNING CALM
seven runs in the fifth and added five
in the seventh for its second win over
the Soldiers.
“As a collective group, we just tight-
en up against Air Force,” Hodgdon said.
“We worry about making mistakes in-
stead of just playing and having fun.”
Daniels went 3-for-3 and homered
again Tuesday night as All-Army rolled
to a 25-2 rout of All-Marine Corps.
Dochwat and Mendieta each had two
hits, including a homer, and substi-
tutes Sonnenburg, Sgt. 1st Class Kevin
Watkins of Fort Carson, Colo., and Sgt.
Martin Hunt of Fort Meade, Md., add-
ed two hits apiece.
Still hoping for a little help from
their All-Navy and All-Marine friends,
the Soldiers fell to All-Air Force for the
third time on Wednesday morning.
Hodgdon went 3-for-4 with a homer.
Daniels was 2-for-4 with two hom-
ers, and Dochwat went 2-for-4 with a
homer. All-Army, however, was 0-for-
11 from its sixth, seventh and eighth
spots in the lineup.
“They just hit, and we had two plays
we didn’t turn double plays on that we
should’ve. It happens. We just didn’t
get it done,” said Hodgdon, 40, a vet-
eran of the 1998 and 2008-10 All-Army
teams.
“When we lost that game to Air
Force, that was pretty emotional for
me with it being my last year of play-
ing. You want to go out on top.”
Silver medalist All-Army (6-3) fin-
ished with a 3-0 victory over All-Navy
(2-7) on Thursday. All-Marine Corps
(3-6) closed the tourney with a 23-22
victory in eight innings over gold med-
alist All-Air Force (7-2).
“We’ll be back next year to win our
gold back,” Daniels said.
Daniels, Dochwat and Hodgdon
were named to the All-Tournament
Team. They were joined on the U.S.
All-Armed Forces Team by Rogers,
DeRolf, Shaw, Stevens and Staff Sgt.
Lee Diaz of Tampa. That squad will
compete Sept. 30-Oct. 4 at the 2010
Amateur Softball Association National
Championships in Oklahoma City.
Hodgdon, a veteran of four deploy-
ments who plans to retire in Novem-
ber, will skip the trip to Oklahoma City
to take his sons to the Florida-Alabama
football game in Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
where he hopes to watch the Crimson
Tide roll over the Gators.
“I went last year as an Armed Forces
member and we went 2-2 and finished
seventh,” said Hodgdon, who batted
a tournament-high .860 at nationals.
“I made first-team All-America and I
turned that down this year to be with
my Family.
“I teach Officer Candidate School
at Fort Benning. Prior to going to All-
Army Camp, I was out in the woods for
two weeks, so I really haven’t seen my
Family in a month and a half, so they’re
ready for me to be home.” x

Kyoto, Japan: One traveler tells all
By Jane Lee
USAG Yongsan Public Affairs
KYOTO, Japan - Will she or won’t
she be lucky in love? Only time would
tell. Baby Bear tried her mettle against
the “Love Stones” at Jishu Shrine, near
Kiyomizu Temple. For 1,300 years,
Japanese have believed Jishu is the
dwelling place for the god of love and
matchmaking. Legend has it if you
manage to walk safely from one stone
all the way to the other stone about 30
feet away with your eyes closed, you
will be happy in love. It’s become a
popular fortune-telling test for lovers,
young and old alike.
I asked Baby Bear what she liked most
about our trip to Kyoto, and she an-
swered without skipping a beat “bocha
time” (Japanese for bath). I’m afraid
my daughter has expensive tastes, but
I have to wholeheartedly agree with
her. We chose to go to Benkei Onsen in
Arashiyama. We opted for the private
bath followed by a private multi-course
lunch. It was three hours of relaxation,
Japanese style. When we arrived, we
were ushered into a room with a huge
picture window overlooking the river
and trees. We changed into our robes
and then the waitress escorted us to
our private outdoor bath. The round
cedar tub was filled with water from
the Arashiyama hot springs. We soaked
for 45 glorious minutes – warmed by
the therapeutic waters, cooled by the
mountain breezes. Then, in this state
of bliss, it was time for lunch. Salad,
miso soup, sushi, sashimi – course af-
ter course – until we were stuffed to the
gills. Talk about food coma. Afterwards,
I didn’t want to leave… all I could think
about was laying down for a nap. But it
was time to explore the famed bamboo
forests of Arashiyama.
A short walk took us to the groves
behind Tenryuji Temple. Strolling
through the stands of towering bam-
boo was the perfect way to spend a Zen
afternoon. The green tea ice cream for
me and the mango ice cream for Baby
Bear certainly didn’t hurt either. We
capped our day with a hike among the
famous red torii gates of Fushimi Inari
Shrine. Inari is the Shinto God of rice.
The scarlet gates are offerings by wor-
shippers that blanket the hiking trails.
We worked up quite an appetite with
all of that walking and hiking. For our
second dinner, we opted for yakitori (or
various meats and vegetables grilled
on skewers) at Kushi Kura. Housed in
a 100-year-old warehouse with dark-
Towering bamboo grow in groves behind Tenryuji Temple in Arashiyama, a district on
the western outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. - U.S. Army photo by Jane Lee

pan. The top two levels are covered in pure gold leaf. - U.S. Army photo by Jane Lee
beamed ceilings and floors, the open
air kitchen let us see all the action.
The chefs worked their magic on mari-
nated chicken, beef and pork grilled to
perfection over charcoal. It’s crispy on
the outside, and melt in your mouth
tender on the inside. Even though the
meat was divine, the grilled peppers
topped with bonito flakes were my fa-
vorite. I made sure we ordered a sec-
ond helping of that tasty dish!
But I get ahead of myself. On the day
we flew into Osaka, we hopped a train
to Himeji Castle despite having just got
off a plane. The last thing I wanted was
to take a two-hour train ride after being
stuck with a four-year-old on a plane…
a four-year-old who is prone to motion
sickness. But Baby Bear was a trooper.
She was tired and grumpy from having
to get up early to catch our flight from
Gimpo, but she perked right up when
we got to Himeji and started hiking up
to the castle. Himeji Castle was desig-
nated one of Japan’s first United Na-
tions Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization (UNESCO) World
Heritage Sites. The hilltop complex is
the country’s largest castle. The white
plastered walls are said to resemble a
bird taking flight.
After exploring the castle and its
grounds; riding the train for the hour-
long trip to Kyoto and finally checking
into our hotel, we thanked our lucky
stars dinner would be just upstairs.
Our first dinner in Kyoto was at my
brother’s favorite tonkatsu restaurant,
Katsukura. Tonkatsu is either pork or
chicken breaded and fried. Baby Bear
and I opted for the chicken. My hus-
band went for the fatty pork. You grind
your own sesame seeds for the sauce.
I was thrilled to find the accompany-
ing and delicious miso soup, salad, and
tsukemono (pickles) were all you can
eat. Baby Bear declared she liked the
chicken so much, she wanted to eat
there every night.
Our third and last full day in Kyoto
we set aside for temples, temples, and
more temples. We started the morning
off at Kiyomizu or “Pure Water” Tem-
ple. Kiyomizu Temple is best known
for the wooden terrace jutting out from
its main hall. Too bad we didn’t time
our visit for the spring or the fall, when
the cherry and maple trees below erupt
in a riot of color. The temple is named
for a waterfall that sits at the base of its
THE MORNING CALM
main hall. The waters are divided into
three separate streams and each stream
is said to have a different benefit for
drinkers: long life, scholarly success or
a good love life. Note to future visitors,
not that I did it, but drinking from all
three is considered greedy. Half the
fun of visiting Kiyomizu is the walk up
to the temple through what is known
as “teapot alley.” Merchants along the
steep crowded lanes offer sightseers all
sorts of knick-knacks, not to mention
delicious mochi (rice cake).
Second on our list was Kinkakuji or
Golden Pavilion. The top two floors of
the temple are completely covered in
pure gold leaf – and it seems to float
on a tranquil lake. Baby Bear seemed
to channel the Zen temple, and in spite
of the massive crowds, took a moment
by the side of the lake to contemplate
the meaning of life.
Another highlight of our trip for Baby
Bear was feeding the deer at Nara. A
short half-hour train ride from Kyoto,
Nara was Japan’s first permanent capi-
tal. Nara Park is home to hundreds of
wild deer. Vendors sell deer biscuits,
and I think we emptied our wallets
buying packet after packet, much to
Baby Bear’s delight. I was on my guard
– fully poised to protect my darling -
having heard the deer can get quite ag-
gressive, especially when you are feed-
ing them, but found them surprisingly
tame.
For our last dinner in Kyoto, we had
ramen. Ramen Alley in Kyoto Station
offers seven different regional styles –
from Tokyo to Sapporo. Overwhelmed
by the selection, we opted for Kyoto-
style ramen. I figured when in Rome,
do as the Romans do. I ordered my bar-
beque pork in soyu (soy sauce) broth
with fresh grated garlic. Slurping my
noodles in a tiny booth with my two
favorite travel buddies was the perfect
ending to our four day vacation.

Their remarkable efforts
sparked attention from Lt.
Gen. Joseph Fil, 8th Army
commanding general and
Brig. Gen. David Fox, Installa-

commander. The two gener-
als publicly recognized these
people Sept. 30 with a $250
on-the-spot cash award, a De-
partment of the Army Certifi-
cate of Achievement and com-
mand coins.
Fil applauded those recog-
nized because there was “no
sense of fear, no whining, no
complaints. Everyone got out
and tore into the problem and
fixed it,” he said.
Fox specifically mentioned
he was amazed at how the peo-
ple at the golf course reacted:
“The kitchen staff [and cart at-
tendants] grabbed chain saws
and started clearing roads.”
Wesley Leisinger said that
in his two and a half years in
Korean he had never seen an
award ceremony like this that
recognized so many people
from across the peninsula.
Much of it had to do with the
scale of the disaster. “Trees go

not at the magnitude we saw

vocate investigates, adjudicates,
and if possible, pays claims for
damage to personal property while
incident to service. Here are a few
hypothetical scenarios to demon-
strate what claims are payable:
Scenario 1: A Soldier living in the
barracks was working nights at the
121st Combat Hospital the night a
typhoon hit. Returning from work
he discovered a tree branch flew
through his window hitting his tele-
vision. Rain flooded his room. His
laptop, iPod, and designer shoes all
lay on the floor ruined.
This Soldier may have a legiti-
mate claim. If so he will get the
depreciated value of all damaged
items. Since the damage occurred
from an unusual occurrence in the
barracks, this Soldier should imme-
diately contact the claims office.
Here’s another hypothetical sce-
nario: The day before the typhoon,
a Soldier bought more than $100 in
groceries for a barbeque. The ty-
phoon resulted in a power outage.
Knowing that all his food may spoil,
the soldier left the refrigerator door
closed but the power did not recover
in time to save his food.
This Soldier did the right thing by
trying to mitigate the damages. He
should get his grocery receipts and
a memorandum from the housing
office stating he was without power.
With this documentation he could
file a claim for his spoiled food.
Here’s one more: A Solider parked
his private vehicle in front of the fi-
nance building to attend meetings.
After several hours, he discovered
his vehicle submerged in water. He
contacted his insurance company
only to learn that flood damage isn’t
covered in his policy.
Based on the above facts, this
Solider can legitimately assert that
his flooded vehicle was incident to
his service. As required, the Soldier
first contacted his insurance com-
pany. Since flood damage is not cov-
ered, his he may file a claim.
For those individuals who suf-
fered damage to their private ve-
hicles, ask the claims office if your
claim is be payable. Ensure you have
your insurance documents, police
report, and a vehicle repair estimate.
If you were involved in anything
like the above-mentioned scenar-
ios, there are avenues of redress
available. Contact your local claims
office for more information. x
Military Responds to ‘Superbug’ Threat
By Cheryl Pellerin
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, – The military is
a leader in recognizing and protect-
ing against the spread of multidrug-
resistant organisms, commonly known
as “superbugs,” defense officials told
Congress members Sept. 30.
Superbugs can cause infections
anywhere but are especially danger-
ous when they spread among hospital
patients, said Dr. Jack Smith, deputy
assistant secretary for clinical policy in
the Office of the Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Health Affairs.
In hospital settings, the infections
are most likely to contaminate surfaces
and equipment like ventilators and di-
alysis machines; the hands of health
care workers, visitors and family mem-
bers; and the respiratory, urinary, skin
and gastrointestinal tracts and wounds
of hospitalized patients, he said.
“Health care-associated infections,
including those from drug-resistant
organisms, are a serious problem ...
in health-care facilities across the na-
tion,” Smith added. “These disease-
causing organisms ... have increased
the length of hospital stays and mor-
tality rates.”
Drug resistance is part of the prob-
lem. It is the ability of microorganisms
to withstand attack by antibiotics, ac-
cording to the World Health Organi-
zation. It can come from the overuse
and misuse of antibiotics and from
the spread of resistant strains among
people.
“Resistant infectious agents [are a]
major public health threats for which
a coordinated global effort is urgently
needed,” said Navy Capt. (Dr.) Gregory
Martin, the Navy surgeon general’s
specialty leader for infectious dis-
eases at Bethesda Naval Hospital in
Maryland. Health professionals and
researchers are concerned that if bac-
teria develop resistance to all antibiot-
ics, health officials say, no treatment
options will exist for infected patients.
Multidrug-resistant infections in
combat injured were first identified in
2003, Martin said, on the hospital ship
Comfort and at Bethesda Naval Hospi-
tal.
Smith said military health system
efforts include a quality assurance
program implemented in all military
treatment facilities that establishes
policies, procedures and training pro-
grams. In fiscal 2010, DOD spent $13.6
million on these efforts.
Since December 2008, 33 military
treatment facilities have participated
in CDC’s National Health Care Safety
Network, a voluntary, secure, Inter-
net-based surveillance system that
integrates patient and health-care
personnel safety surveillance systems
managed by CDC. x

‘Wildcard’ battalion trains with ROK infantry

Combined field exercise tests units’
ability to integrate, unify as single
fighting force protecting peninsula
By Cpl. Timothy N. Oberle
2nd Combat Aviation Brigade
Public Affairs
HUMPHREYS GARRISON —
One can sum up the United States’
relationship with the Republic of Korea
with the phrase “Kapchi Kapshida,” or
“We Go Together,” but nothing really
encapsulates the alliance like a good
old fashioned shoot-from-the-hip
combined field training exercise, like
the one at Tactical Assembly Area
Tom, south of Wonju, Sept. 28 and 29.
From the planning stages, to the
actual carrying out of the mission, one
thing reigns clear – the ROK and U.S.
combined fighting forces are training
to “Fight Tonight.”
Lt. Col. Erik Gilbert, commander
of 2nd Assault Battalion, 2nd Aviation
Regiment, 2nd Combat Aviation
Brigade, is fully aware of this need to
be prepared to roll out at a moment’s
notice, making it a priority upon taking
command to conduct as much high-
speed combined training as possible.
Gilbert’s most recent initiative
to further prepare his “Wildcard”
battalion involved the integration of
Charlie Company, 2-2 Avn. and ROK
Soldiers from the 37th ROK Infantry
Division, located in Jeung-Pyeong, in a
mission to sling load four ROK 105 mm
Howitzers to U.S. UH-60 Black Hawk
helicopters.
The howitzers were then transferred
to a remote location known as Tactical
Assembly Area Tom, south of Wonju,
via the Black Hawks. Once there, the
ROK Soldiers unhooked the weapons
and fired blank rounds at various
strategic locations, which guerrilla
forces could use if war ever broke out.
“In the event that another war ever
occurs here on the Korean peninsula,
it wouldn’t necessarily take place on
a linear battlefield,” said Capt. John
Paxton, Charlie Co. commander and
officer-in-charge for the exercise. “This
is why the (training) scenario is played
out against guerrilla forces.
“It’s not just the realistic nature of
the training that helps both forces
though,” Paxton added, “but also the
experience of integrating forces that
utilize different operating procedures
and tactics.
“Because the integration of
multinational units is difficult, we
used the crawl-walk-run method,” he
added. “We conducted four different
training preparations in order to be
able to run the two-day mission.”
Paxton said that the first day of the
mission was conducted during the
daytime, while the second day was an
evening mission requiring the use of
night vision goggles.
In order to prepare for the difficulties
presented by the mission, Soldiers
from 2-2 Avn. took the initiative and
went out of their way to make the
exercise a success.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Joshua
Robinson, a pilot who is a former
infantry Soldier, reverted to his past
experience and worked on the ground
with the ROK Soldiers, helping and
supervising with the slinging of the
howitzers to the Black Hawk’s.
“I absolutely loved working down
on the ground with the ROK forces,”
Robinson said. “Working like this
with Korean Soldiers helps us to unify
as a single fighting force here on the
peninsula.
“This is a stepping stone for both
our battalion and the ROK field
artillery unit, and this helps to identify
weaknesses, so as we move forward UH-60 Black Hawks from the 2nd Assault Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment with 105

Gate, community security a priority for DES team
By John Buchanan
Directorate of Emergency Services
HUMPHREYS GARRISON — If
you were at the main gate here early in
the morning May 22, you would have
heard members of the security guard
force say, “Gate Runner! Gate Runner!
Gate Runner!”
It’s the call to action to tell the Jo-
eun Systems Corporation security
guard team members that a vehicle is
attempting to enter the installation
without authorization.
On this night, the threat vehicle
approached the gate at a high rate of
speed making no attempt to stop or
slow down. It could have shot past
the ID check point, ran the stop sign
and turned the corner that would take
it straight towards the installation’s
downtown area.
But that wouldn’t happen on this
night. By the time the vehicle sped
through the ID check area, a series of
procedures were already in play by the
security guard team and the garrison
Military Police.
The security guard over-watch
team member pushed the road barrier
emergency operation button without
hesitation, just as he was trained to
do. This action immediately raised the
road barriers and blocked the vehicle’s
attempt to get onto the installation.
Other team members closed the out-
bound and inbound gates to trap the
vehicle – just in time to prevent it from
escaping back off the installation.
Their radio alert to the Military Police
ended their response.
Overwhelmed by the quick actions
of the security force, the raised bar-
riers blocking his entry, the closed
gates blocking his escape and now sur-
6-52 AMD Soldiers test Warrior skills during exercise
By 1st Lt. Austin Liu
6-52 Air and Missile Defense
WARRIOR BASE, South Korea
— Soldiers from the 6-52nd Air and
Missile Defense Battalion participated
in an intense, week-long field training
exercise, testing their ability to execute
fundamental Warrior tasks and drills
in today’s asymmetric battlefield, from
Sept. 25 to Oct. 1, here.
The training included weapons
qualification ranges, reflexive firing,
convoy live fire exercises, and urban
operations, culminating in a one-day
Squad Tactical Exercise.
The purpose of this training is to
ensure the Iron Horse Battalion is able
to successfully execute force protec-
tion measures while accomplishing its
wartime mission.
“This type of training is very im-
portant to us because 6-52 AMD is an
air defense unit first and foremost,”
said Command Sgt. Major Timothy D.
Hockenberry, battalion command ser-
geant major. “Hence, it is not every day
that we have the chance to validate our
ability to conduct basic Warrior tasks
and drills, the key to ensuring the sur-
vivability of our most important asset
– the American Soldier.”
And, all signs show that the training
exercise achieved its goal.
“This is the best training I have
rounded by armed security guards and
Republic of Korea Air Force Military
Police, the driver sat quietly in his seat,
making no further attempt to flee.
At the same time, the call to action
alerted the Military Police. Within a
matter of two minutes the first Military
Police patrol arrived at the scene and
apprehended the driver of the vehicle
without further resistance. The whole
incident took about three minutes.
This time, the threat vehicle was a
suspected drunk driver. But the secu-
rity guards and Military Police didn’t
know the nature of the threat when
they responded. They applied just the
right amount force and followed their
training, executing a well thought-out
plan, one that is practiced time and
again by the guard force.
The coordinated effort between the
security company, the Military Police
and the installation Physical Security
Office make it near impossible for a
threat vehicle to get onto the installa-
tion through any of the Access Control
Points at USAG Humphreys.
The security guards are well trained
and equipped to handle any threat
scenario involving a vehicle. Not only
do they react to threat vehicles, such
as the one in this incident, they also
randomly inspect USFK registered
vehicles, all commercial vehicles and
guest vehicles for explosive devices and
other dangerous contraband.
They are outfitted with the latest
security equipment, specially designed
to detect an explosive device installed
on a vehicle, inside of a vehicle, or un-
derneath.
The vehicle active barriers that are
driven across each time someone en-
ters and leaves the installation are
some of the newest equipment. They

breath after completing the first itera-
tion of reflexive firing. “I have learned

are built to withstand the force impact
of a truck traveling well over the speed
that could be attained in the short dis-
tance from the gate to the barrier. The
barriers are quick and are built with
safety protocols that limit the possibil-
ity of an accidental impact by a friendly
motorist. Take care when approaching
the barrier and pay special attention to
the traffic light next to it – if it turns
red, stop. And, never stop on top of the
barrier, even in heavy traffic.
The following are helpful hints to
make gaining installation access an
easier process for authorized patrons:

point, turn your headlights out and use

tions to conduct missions modeled af-
ter scenarios from today’s asymmetric
battlefield.
At times gritty and intense, the STX
lanes brought Soldiers close to expe-
riencing the chaos of wartime opera-
tions. Many of the scenarios pushed
the Soldiers, physically and mentally,
to their limit.
On one particular mission, Soldiers
reacted to multiple road-side IEDs and
called up an UXO/IED report.
While on another, Soldiers learned
how to accommodate local media
when they still have to accomplish
their primary mission.
On yet another mission, the Sol-
diers were required to administer an
IV to a comrade playing the role of a
casualty and evacuate the casualty to
the nearest MEDEVAC site under en-
emy fire.
“It has been a while since I’ve had
to stick an IV into a real patient,” said
Spc. Julius Dunson of Bravo Battery,
after he had completed the combat
medic’s lane of the STX. “And, today I
got the chance to refresh my skills un-
der simulated small-arms fire, smoke
grenades, and IEDs.”
During the exercise, Soldiers also
conducted training on the state-of-art
Army HEAT (HMMWV Egress Assis-
tance Trainer) learning how to survive
a HMMWV roll over. x

ACS hosts subway tour for newcomers
By Jo, Yu-ra
USAG Daegu Public Affairs
DAEGU GARRISON — U.S. Army
Garrison Daegu’s Army Community
Services helped some newcomers to
the area break the ice, taking them on
a subway tour, Sept. 11.
Designed for Soldiers and Family
members who may not be altogether
familiar with Daegu City, the tour gave
the group an opportunity to try their
hand at getting around and about town
by using the public transportation
system.
According to Joe Missildine,
relocation readiness manager, ACS,
USAG Daegu and tour guide for
the group, “The tour is ideal for the
newcomer. It’s a great way to discover
Korea, and just adds to the overall
experience of living abroad. It’s a great
cultural experience, with the group
visiting famous locations that played
or play a vital role in Korean history.
It’s also a day complete with various
leisure activities.”
Determined to take advantage of
the tour, nearly 30 Soldiers and family
members didn’t allow the bad weather
to prevent them from pounding the
city streets of Daegu in search of
Seek first to understand then to be understood
By Chaplain (Maj.) Milton Johnson
USAG Daegu Garrison Chaplain
DAEGU GARRISON — Question:
have you ever been misunderstood? Or,
have you ever misunderstood someone
else? Think about these questions for a
minute and try to give a sincere answer
to each one. If the answer to the first
question is yes, let me ask a couple of
other questions:
• What happened that caused you to be
misunderstood?
•How did you feel being misunderstood?
•Was it unavoidable or could it have been
prevented?
Many times misunderstandings can be
averted.
• How could things have been done
differently?
• What damage resulted from your
experience?
• Was the misunderstanding resolved? If
so, how was it worked out?
Now answer the second question and
go through the same follow up inquiry -
only this time put yourself in the shoes
of a person who misunderstands another
individual. Then ask the six follow up
questions, what happened that caused
you to misunderstand, and so forth.
Let me be the first to say that I have
misunderstood others on multiple
occasions and I have been misunderstood
more than once or a thousand times in
life by friends, relatives and people
who didn’t even know me. The fact is,
I can’t think of one instance when I
misunderstood someone else or another
person misunderstood me that I or the
other person enjoyed the experience.
The truth is, others, nor did I appreciate
such confrontations. Furthermore,
misunderstandings almost always end
on a negative note rather than a positive
one.
Writing this article reminds me
of a time when I misunderstood my
second oldest daughter. She was 17 at

their destination. The early morning
adventure began with a stop at Hyeun-
chung train station, followed by visits to
Du-ryu Park and the world cup soccer
stadium; Seo-mun Market, an outdoor
market which spans miles and is widely
known for its huge variety of materials
and traditional foods, and the highly
regarded Dong-san Medical Center.
The tour group seemed to come
alive when their entourage made a
stop at the famous Seo-mun Market.
There they were permitted to move
about freely, and by all accounts they
did so with great enthusiasm.
“At first, we were a little nervous
about going out in a different country,”
I stood strongly against it. She was also
approaching her senior year in high
school and all I could see in her having
a male friend at that age was (what all
fathers see) multiple distractions.
My daughter spent weeks trying to
convince me that she was mature enough
and ready to handle a relationship with
a young man, and I spent twice as much
time repeating the same words: “It will
not happen until after graduation.”
One time I even said that it would only
happen “over my dead body.”
To my surprise she came home one
day and told me, “Daddy, I know what
you said about having a boyfriend right
now but I decided to date Mike whether
you like it or not.” To say the least, I
was floored by her bold and daring
announcement. So, I lowered my voice
and calmed myself down, and then I
said, “Really? Unhesitatingly she replied,
“Yep, oh yes.” At this point, although she
did not say it literally, I imagined her
saying in her mind, “I am ready to fight
if I have to.”
Enough, I said, something’s got to
change. I said a short internal prayer,
and then I invited her to take a ride with
me to Atlanta, which was only an hour

said Laurel Eisinger, Daegu American
School principal. “So we wanted to
follow someone who already knows
the ropes, and we could learn from
them. The newcomers tour is a good
way to figure out how to get around.
My husband and I plan on using the
subway to go to work.”
ACS sponsors the newcomers tour
monthly. The route is usually the
same, unless weather dictates that an
adjustment to locations is necessary.

one way from Fort Benning, Ga., so we
could talk and try to understand each
other better. She agreed, and off we went.
Needless to say, I started the
conversation with familiar words she
had heard for many years. And, as usual,
she listened patiently and respectfully
until daddy finished. Then she started to
explain that she loved school and worked
hard to achieve the good grades she had.
She told me that she was excited about
life after high school but that she wanted
to start learning more about boys before
going off to college. She said she didn’t
want to find out about relationships
away from home, but at home, where
she could get parental advice easier
than if she was in a distant place a long
way from family and had to call and
talk on the phone. Then with tears in
her eyes she assured me that she would
never do anything to disgrace God,
herself or her family regardless of who
she talked to or associated with. I must
admit, that conversation helped me to
see something I had never seen before,
and hear words I needed desperately
to hear. My daughter showed me that
she had matured enough to put family
values before personal feelings. And
she convinced me that her priorities
started with God and not a boyfriend.
The conversation continued all the way
to Atlanta without a pause – it was word
for word talking and one of the best
chats I have ever had with my daughter
to this day.
Obviously, I agreed to let her date
a classmate, and to her credit, the
relationship turned out pretty good.
I share this experience to illustrate
how important it is to seek first to
understand then to be understood. Our
little chit chat resulted in more than
I expected and as a consequence the
connection between the two of us soared
to a healthier level. Can you imagine
what our relationship would be like if I

When fire alarms sound - get moving
Courtesy USAG Daegu Fire Department
DAEGU GARRISON — When the
fire alarm sounds, we all know what
to do, right? Find the nearest exit, get
out and stay out! However, if that exit
is blocked, the best escape plan in the
world will not help you and your family
get out safely. When fire strikes, cooler
heads do not always prevail!
Blocked doors and windows in
your home or office could keep you
from escaping when a fire strikes. Any
emergency can affect your ability to
think clearly, but during a fire, smoke
and other factors can quickly overwhelm
your ability to react.

teachers applied everything they knew,

pitched in and used every method they
