By Andrew Revelos Staff Writer Naval Support Activ- ity South Potomac (NSASP) participated in a joint exer- cise with Chemical Biologi- cal Incident Response Force (CBIRF) on June 12 at Na- val Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. For CBIRF, the drill was one of the unit’s regular certification exer- cises (CERTEX), which certi- fies that one of CBIRF’s two Incident Response Forces (IRFs) are ready to be on call for real-world emergencies. For NSASP, participation in the exercise met one of the command’s two yearly Reli- ant Series training require- ments. The training scenario, which unfolded in and around Building 217, was a daunting one. “A disgrun- tled employee took hostages during a conference,” said Don Brown, a contractor instructor for CBIRF. “FBI negotiators went in this morning but negotiations broke down. [Law enforce- ment] went in to get the suspect and he detonated a device which spread a cloud throughout the building and around the general area of the building.” The fictional authorities then called in CBIRF to re- spond. “[CBIRF] conducts a survey and rescue of all the casualties,” said Brown, summarizing CBIRF’s on- scene responsibilities. “They have to package up the ca- sualties and transport them out without causing further casualties, get them through the decontamination and medical tents, where doc- tors can stabilize them, and then pass them off to local hospitals.” Working together with local authorities is a vital skill for members of CBIRF and Brown appreciated the opportunity to work with NSASP first responders. “We haven’t been able to train on that level for a while, where they’re going to be meeting with each other on-scene and talking with each oth- er,” said Brown. “What I’d like to see is them integrate in with us.

NSF Dahlgren firefight-ers were first on the sceneand began spraying “con-taminated” casualties, role-played by CBIRF Marines,with water from a fire truck.Members of the CBIRF Situ-ation Awareness Team soonarrived and worked with thefirefighters to come up witha response plan. The Ma-rines received an importantpiece of information fromfirefighters during the hastyinitial meeting: the pre-in-stant plan, which includedthe building’s rather com-plicated layout.

The maze of rooms andhallways would prove justas challenging for CBIRF toclear as it is the police offi-cers who regularly train inBuilding 217. “They’ll havean interesting time goingthrough the structure,” saidBrown.

Sharing critical infor-mation continued at Dahl-gren’s Emergency Opera-tions Center (EOC), wherebase officials and CBIRFcommanders coordinatedthe response. “Withoutcoordination there wouldbe chaos,” said BattalionChief Tracy Hall, of the NSFDahlgren Fire Department.“There must be coordina-tion to make sure that ev-eryone on the scene is onthe same page as to whatthe exact situation is beforethem and what role eachagency will have in miti-gating the incident safely,whether those roles areseparate tasks within an op-eration, or a joint effort onthe same task integratingneeded personnel to com-plete the task.”

Accountability is alwaysa primary mission for firstresponders, whether theyare firefighters or membersof CBIRF. Close coordina-tion helped both organi-zations maintain that ac-countability. “It. assists withaccountability of personnelon the scene, the span andcontrol of those personneland most of all, the safety ofall personnel on the scene,”said Hall.

Responding to large-scale emergencies is some-thing for which both fire-fighters and members ofCBIRF constantly train. ForSailors assigned to Dahl-gren’s Branch Health Clin-ic, the exercise was not aneveryday kind of drill. “Weprovided augmented medi-cal support to the CBIRFMedical Team,” said Lt.Lesli Lucas, senior medi-cal officer at the DahlgrenBranch Health Clinic. “Wehelped unloading medicalequipment, set up of medi-cal tents and most impor-tantly, assisting in triageand administration of medi-

cal care to the many victimsof the mass casualty [event].Medical care included con-trolling bleeding, providingairway and cardiac support,providing IV fluids and criti-cal medications of moreseriously injured patientsuntil able to transport thepatients to local hospitals.”

Lucas thanked DahlgrenBranch Health Clinic per-sonnel who stayed behindat the clinic, which allowedthe rest of the staff a chanceto participate in the exer-cise. “The feedback fromour staff was overwhelm-ingly positive,” she said.“They all felt it was valu-able in helping to remindus of how suddenly we canbe placed into these criticaland emergency roles andthe importance of regularlypracticing and drilling tokeep our skill set sharp.”

Ed Patuga, training of-ficer for NSASP, said therewas great training value tobe gained by conducting ajoint operation with CBIRF.“We cannot overemphasizethe importance of trainingwith an outside agency likeCBIRF,” he said. “Our firstresponders train and worktogether very well duringexercises. They have doneit so many times and knowwhat each is capable of do-ing to protect the installa-tion. However, incidents arenot all the same and therecould be a situation wherethe complexity of the inci-dent exceeds the capabilityof our first responders. Suchincidents require the use ofadditional resources andthat may come in the formof outside agency supportand coordination.”

The challenging trainingscenario and the response itrequired served to prepareboth CBIRF and NSASP forreal-world events. “The

joint exercise provided NSASouth Potomac and CBIRFthe opportunity to worktogether during a complexincident,” said Patuga. “We

were able to see firsthandeach other’s operationsand capabilities, which areall good to know before anincident happens. Most im-

portant, we also identify ar-eas of improvement to bet-ter facilitate integration andsynchronization of activi-ties should the need arise.”

of what the decisive battlewould be,” said Hone, de-scribing the Japanese desireto destroy the American fleetat Midway.

The decisive surface war-fare victory at Tsushimaagainst Russia during the1905 Russo-Japanese Warwas still at the fore of Japa-nese naval thought in 1942,as the era of the aircraft car-rier was dawning.

“What did the Japaneseget [at Midway]? They gotambushed by the carriers ofthe United States Navy,” saidHone. “They were taken bysurprise and that was the keyto victory.”

Hone also credited ac-curate intelligence, code-breaking, radar, pre-warplanning and exercises, andcourage as elements of theAmerican victory. In manyaspects, the opposing fleetswere in a state of near-parityat Midway. Japanese combatair patrols, for instance, en-joyed significant advantagesover their American equiva-lent, while the American anti-aircraft guns and crews thatconfronted Japanese aircraftwere superior.

Outdated tactics affectedthe decision-making pro-cesses of both navies. Honecited the island of Midway,an “unsinkable carrier,” asanother element that favoredthe Americans. The high-altitude bombers stationedthere, however, were use-less against Japanese ships,which could simply maneu-ver away from the bombs.Despite that ineffectiveness,the Japanese fleet decidedto bomb the island’s airfieldand consequently, was un-prepared when the carrier-

based American aircraft at-tacked.

“[The Japanese] lost threecarriers in five minutes,” saidHone. “They got taken bysurprise by the dive bomberslaunched by two Americancarriers and they got clob-bered.”

The Japanese carrierswere at their most vulner-able when the Americansstruck, the decks strewn withaircraft, ordnance and fuel.Indeed, any aircraft carrierwas a “floating volcano” inthe days of high-octane fuel.Defending an aircraft car-rier was difficult at best andnear impossible at worst, saidHone.

While both fleets recog-nized the critical importanceof surprise, advancements inaircraft and ordnance tech-nology outpaced the defen-sive measures they dependedon to counter them. “Whencarrier aircraft first becamestrike aircraft, they mightcarry 100-pound bombs,”said Hone. “By 1941 they’recarrying 1,000-pound bombs.these are ship-killers. So anyone aircraft, if it gets through[anti-aircraft defenses], coulddisable a carrier.”

The tools used by anti-aircraft gunners to direct fireat attacking aircraft at Mid-way could not keep up withthe newest aircraft designs“The airplanes were movingso quickly by 1941-42, thatthe rates of change were veryhigh and it was extremelydifficult for those [analog]computers, those devices, toestimate where the plane wasgoing to go,” said Hone.

The Imperial JapaneseNavy learned a great dealfrom its loss at Midway andadapted both their technolo-gies and their tactics. Land-based night bombers stalkedAmerican ships for the restof the war. “They had guys

flying twin engine bombersequipped with torpedoes fly-ing 50 to 100 feet above thewater,” said Hone. “At thatlow altitude, they could pickup the silhouettes of Ameri-can carriers. They were verydangerous and they werehighly-respected by the U.S.Navy.”

The U.S. Navy, thoughvictorious at Midway, alsosuffered heavy losses andleaders understood the needto change the way they con-ducted operations, saidHone. In particular, bettercoordination of combat airpatrols, the introduction ofcombat information centersand applying anti-aircraft de-fenses as an integrated com-bat system helped the Navyachieve a stunning victorytwo years later at the Battleof the Philippine Sea. “Theywere like a buzz saw,” saidHone, describing the Navy’shard-won ability to sail head-on into contested waters.

But by 1945 and the Battleof Okinawa, the Japaneseuse of kamikazes became soprevalent that the U.S. Navywas forced to once againchange its tactics. “I call it ananti-ship missile campaign,the kamikazes,” said Hone.“The guidance mechanism isa human being.”

The challenge posed bykamikazes to American com-manders was exceptional.Advancements in anti-air-craft defenses defense onAmerican ships, such asproximity fuses for anti-air-craft shells, became a seriousfriendly-fire danger to com-bat air patrol fighters thatpursued kamikazes too closeto American ships. The U.S.Navy’s answer was to the ka-mikazes was “tightening theanti-aircraft decision loop,”an answer that alleviated butdid not completely solve theproblem. “Who was in this

decision loop in 1944?” askedHone. “What they did wasthey took the captains out ofthe loop. You had to tightenthe loop up.”

“This issue, this conflict, isnever resolved by war’s end,”he added, citing the stag-gering losses suffered by theU.S. Navy during the Battleof Okinawa. “The Navy lost32 ships, 368 damaged, over9,700 Sailors dead or wound-ed. Look as those casualty fig-ures. They’re extraordinary.”

Funding cuts after thewar handicapped the Navy’sability to continue the searchfor solutions, said Hone. “Allthese challenges-nuclearweapons, jet aircraft, mis-siles-all this stuff happenedafter World War II and theamount of money availablewent in the tank.”

The solution finally camewith the development of theAegis Combat System. Honeonce interviewed Rear Adm.Wayne Meyer, the “father” ofthe system.

“He was an outstandingtechnology manager,” saidHone. “The Navy had se-quences of these [operationalchallenges] during the 20thcentury. Now we’re in the21st and we’re going throughthe same thing again, butthere were a series of chal-lenges for the Navy, one afterthe next. People sort cameout of the woodwork, if youwant to put it that way, offi-cers and civilians who foundways to deal with those chal-lenges and turn the UnitedStates Navy into an extreme-ly powerful naval force, themost successful in history.To do that they had to under-stand technology, they hadto understand what it waslike to be at sea and they hadto know how to manage thedevelopment of technology.”

“The Battle of Midway is one of the mostsignificant battles of World War II,” said Lt. Jes-sicaTuia,CSCS’sBattleofMidwaycoordinator.“Not only because it turned the tide of the warin the Pacific but because of those brave indi-viduals who made the ultimate sacrifice. CSCSand ATRC wanted to honor those who paidthe ultimate price by bringing attention to theBattle of Midway in a positive way.”

The Battle of Midway took place June 4-71942 and was a pivotal victory for the UnitedStates during World War II. During the battle,the US Navy inflicted permanent damage onthe Japanese Imperial Navy. Considered aturning point in the Pacific campaign for theU.S. and its allies, the Battle of Midway is oneof the most well-known and celebrated battlesin naval history.

To start off the week, ATRC’s display caseswere refurbished with WWII items loaned byUdo Goff, a King George resident.

“I wanted to share my collection to sparksome interest in the Battle of Midway,” he said.“As a long time collector and history buff, itdoesn’t get any better than seeing groups ofstaff, instructors andstudents clusteredaroundthedisplays, reading the tags anddiscussinganessential part of history.”

On June 5, CSCS, ATRC, NSWC FederalCredit Union, and Naval Support ActivitySouth Potomac’s Morale, Welfare and Recre-ationheldaBattleofMidway5Krun. 74peopletook timeoutof their hectic schedules tohonorthose who fought for our freedom.

“The 5K event was well executed and wasworthyof theassociationwith theNavy’s great-est battle,” said Brian Deters, CSCS’s TrainingSupport Director, who participated.

Jessie Harris, CSCS’s Learning StandardsOfficer (LSO), not onlypartook topay tribute tothose who had served but to be healthy as well.

“I need motivation and this 5K is the perfectstart of a healthy lifestyle for me,” she said.

On June 6, author Tom Hone spoke aboutthe Battle of Midway to NSF Dahlgren. “Thebest way for today’s Sailors to learn about abattle is from those who fought it,” explainedHone. “The Battle of Midway not only turnedthe progress of WWII in the Pacific but set theNavy’s foundation for future counter offen-sives.”

Following his presentation, Dahlgren’sNavy Exchange hosted a book signing forHone’s new book “The Battle of Midway: TheNaval Institute Guide to the U.S. Navy’s Great-est Victory.” The book focuses on events lead-ing up to the battle and the battle itself, with aseparate section examining how others haveinterpreted the battle’s engagements.

“The book signing was a success,” saidChevi Telfare, Dahlgren’s Navy ExchangeBranch Manager. “The NEX sold a total of 31books.”

To conclude the week remembrance, CSCSand ATRC held a Battle of Midway poster con-test and announced the winner on June 7.ATRC SPY student Fire Controlman 3rd ClassJessica Sharp’s creativity won her 1st place.

“I think it is very important to be involvedinyour command’s events, especiallywhen theevent is for remembering those who protectedour freedom,” she said. “I learned a lot whenresearching the Battle of Midway and enjoyedsketching the historical propaganda.”

As the week concluded, the Battle of Mid-waycommemorationcame toanendbut thosewho defended are not forgotten.

“Byplanningactivities thatwereeducation-al in nature, we hoped to not only emphasizethe importanceofhistorybut thenecessity thatwe learn from it,” Tuia said.

By Patrick GordonNDW Public Affairs

As of July 1, Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren andNSF Indian Head will no longer issue or require vehicle de-cals on vehicles entering the base.As directed by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, En-

ergy, Installations & Environment in a memorandum datedMarch 18, 2011, Navy bases will no longer require vehiclesto display decals, which previously served as a way for basesecurity to verify proper registration and adequate liabilityinsurance for all vehicles, as well as authorization for thedriver to operate the vehicle. Installations within NavalDistrict Washington have been provided guidance to de-velop implementation plans of the new policy and asso-ciated policies for vehicle base access, parking, and otherinstallation-wide driving concerns.While security remains a prime concern for all Depart-

ment of Navy installations, random command authorizedadministrative checks will be conducted and drivers will berequired to keep registrations, inspections and insurancecoverage current. The random checks will verify identifica-tion and vehicle licensing, and security personnel will con-tinue to rely on the assistance of the military community

to report suspicious or abandoned cars, and any other se-curity concerns. Frequent visitors to installations requiringdecals may leave them on the vehicle until the expirationdate. Otherwise, the decal should be removed.People using privately-owned vehicles on Navy installa-

tions will still be required to meet state and local require-ments including valid insurance, vehicle safety inspections,registration, and proof of motorcycle safety training whereapplicable. Additionally, the policy change will not affectvisiting procedures to Navy installations, as visitors willcontinue to use the normal visitor procedures establishedby the installation commanding officer.Contractor access will be managed separately. Contrac-

tors will either receive a temporary pass for a one trip visitor they may register under the Navy commercial accesscontrol system that provides background checks and pe-

riodic reviews to allow them to be issued a valid credentialfor access to Navy installations for official business.For those who visit the Washington Navy Yard, parking

will be managed at the installation level using a CNIC-gen-erated template based on the current color coding system(blue for officers, red for enlisted, and green for Depart-ment of the Navy civilians). The template provides for somestandardization at all CNIC installations, but allows for mi-nor changes to accommodate unique local circumstances.Neither NSF Dahlgren nor NSF Indian Head will issue anydecals after July 1. Drivers are advised to verify the plansfrom bases they frequent before removing their decals.For more information on parking at the Washington

Navy Yard, visit www.navy.mil/local/ndw/.Jeron Hayes, NSA South Potomac Public Affairs, contrib-

uted to this report.
