By Jim BennettSitting at the computer console on

his first mission as a KMR test di-rector two years ago, Lt. Col. RobertJames learned that the incomingmissile had fired off its reentry ve-hicles. Then, �the bus� exploded af-ter a destruct command was issued,scattering debris in front of the in-coming warheads. James, the mis-sion technical director, and the rangepersonnel had only minutes to piecethrough the debris, find the war-heads, and collect the data for themission.

Meanwhile the RVs sped toward therange at 6 kilometers per second.

�There was not a lot of breathinggoing on,� James joked.

�No one panicked,� he added seri-ously. �I was relying on the experi-ence of all the people here. Thesepeople know their systems. No onepanics. They just say, �We�ll reroutethis or do that,� and it works. Thiswas a nominal mission that mighthave gone awry.�

James serves as the chief of theRange Test Division, until he PCSesfrom KMR next week. As chief, heleads three Army KMR test directors,also known as range control officers,who all work hand-in-hand with therange mission technical directors,civilian contractors who direct themissions.

�It takes a lot of key people to pulloff what we do here,� said Steve Hill,Plans and Operations engineeringleader and a mission technical di-rector.

Friday�s Days of Remem-brance luncheon at the YokweYuk Club, sponsored by theSpecial Emphasis Equal Op-portunity Program, will featurea guest speaker and specialmenu.

Included on the menu arebagels and lox with creamcheese and capers, broiledbreast of chicken, potato latkes,and apple fritters on vanillapastry cream.

Tickets are $6.95. Reser-vaions may be made by callingMichelle Kenney at 53513 byTuesday.

The Holocaust � the system-atic murder of Jews and otherpeople, including Gypsies, po-litical prisoners, and homo-sexuals, by Nazi Germany �claimed some 12 million lives,not including the millions ofsoldiers and civilians killedduring the war. Most victimswere exterminated by gaschambers or by firing squad,while others succumbed to thesevere deprivations and dis-eases at the camps.

Of the 9.5 million Jews livingin Europe before the war, an es-timated 63 percent, or 6 mil-lion, were killed. In Polandalone, 3 million of thatcountry�s 3.3 million Jews weremurdered � nine out of every10 people.

The Kwajalein Hourglass

The Hourglass is named for the insigniaof the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, whichliberated the island from the forces of Impe-rial Japan on Feb 4, 1944.

The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorizedpublication for military personnel, federal em-ployees, contractor workers and their familiesassigned to USAKA/KMR. Contents of theHourglass are not necessarily official viewsof, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, De-partment of Defense, Department of the Armyor USAKA/KMR. It is published Tuesdaysand Fridays using a network printer byRaytheon Range Systems Engineering edito-rial staff, P.O.

Range personnel ‘know their systems’ ...(From page 1)eration, depending on the type ofmission, and that doesn�t count thesupport personnel who all contrib-ute. But if the range personnel werea football team, the test director andmission technical director, together,would be the quarterback.

�Neither one of us could be effec-tive without the other,� Hill said.�While the KTD/MTD may be thequarterback, the real stars thatmake the big plays are the experi-enced test directors and operatorsat all the sensors throughout therange.�

To understand the job of the KMRtest director and mission technicaldirector, one must first understandthe organization of the range opera-tion.

Most missions are scheduled 12 to18 months in advance. At that time,a range test director learns thecustomer�s requirements.

�And then I talk to the MTD whoknows the sensors inside and out,�James said.

�The assigned MTD begins tocome up with how we�ll gather that(information) for the customer, whatassets we�ll use, what our contin-

gency plans will be,� Hill said. �Weplan it all out in advance to the great-est extent possible. If all goes well,the mission technical director haslittle to do on mission day.�

Often, a typical Air Force missile-tracking mission will include whatthe range calls, �associated opera-tions.� That�s when other agenciesplace experiments on board the mis-sile.

�It�s expensive to fire a missile, andif they are going to fire, say, five RVs,and there�s what they call �emptyseats,� then others can pay to havetheir experiments ride along on themission,� James said.

Consequently, KMR techniciansmust gather the Air Force data,along with data from the other ex-

(See RANGE, page 5)

periments.�That becomes a bit of a dance

sometimes,� James said. �But we�vealways had very satisfied custom-ers.�

Two months before the mission,the range gears up.

�We ask, �What are nominal re-quirements? What equipment willbe ready? What�s needed?�� Hillsaid.

One contingency to consider is theloss of assets. Altair, for example,maintains a 15-minute readiness tomonitor foreign space launches. If acountry makes an unannouncedlaunch during a KMR mission, Al-tair first tries to resolve the conflictand support both the KMR opera-tion and the Space Command task-ing. If the conflict can�t be resolved,then the Altair test director, theMTD, and KTD make a recommen-dation as to how Altair should re-spond to the conflicting require-ments and present it to the KMRcommander and USAKA commander,

who makes the decision which mis-sion Altair will support.

�That was a substantial issue withthe Russians years ago, when theywould know when we had a missionand try and get something past us,�Hill said. �It�s still something to con-sider every mission.�

Two weeks out, the range beginssimulations and other last-minutepreparation work.

�The simulations can be morestressing than the actual mission,�Hill said. �We practice all kinds ofthings going wrong.�

By mission time, the range hasseen most of what can go wrong ontheir end.

During the mission, the radarsand sensors, with all their accom-panying personnel around theatoll, collect data and feed the in-formation to the KMR Mission Con-trol Center as it comes in. At theKMCC, a group of 10 contractorsand three to four Army personnel,along with the test director, man awrap-around console that looks likea cross between NASA�s missioncontrol and the bridge of thestarship Enterprise.

The technical director stands inthe center of the crescent, �so thathe can pace,� James said.

The technical director also movesfrom station to station, consultingwith controllers, each of whommonitors a specific aspect of themission.

�We at KMCC are really just a sec-ond set of eyes,� Hill said. �Ninety-nine percent of the time the folks atthe sensors make the correct deci-sions and correct problems beforewe have the opportunity to see them.We can construct the best plan inthe world, but it will never workwithout great execution on the partof the sensors.�

In addition, there are eight to 10people supporting the KMCC in anearby computer room.

Above the KMCC, in enclosedbooths, the KMR commander,USAKA/KMR commander, contrac-tor site managers, and VIPs can ob-serve the mission.

We can construct the bestplan in the world, but it willnever work without great ex-ecution on the part of thesensors.

Story and photos by Barbara JohnsonWhen Brian Greene submerged

into the ocean with his friend anddad about a year ago, he had no ideathat particular dive would turn outto be one of a kind.

The University of Hawaii freshman,home for spring break, had alreadylogged in some 2,000 dives at Kwaj,so he thought he knew what to ex-pect.

But, as it turned out, this was thedive that fulfilled his lifelong goal �discovering a new fish.

�Ever since I was a little kid, it hasalways been my dream to find a newspecies of fish,� Greene said.

He and his dive buddies were div-ing at about 90 to 100 feet oceanside,between SAR pass and Kwaj.

�I saw the fish out of the corner ofmy eye, and I just knew it was some-thing [different],� Greene said, re-counting his experience recently.

�I saw four others, but I could onlycatch one.�

He took the fish home to hisaquarium, took pictures of it, andlooked in every fish book he couldfind. But the fish, similar to a fairy

basslet, wasnot in any of thebooks.

Greene saidthe fish, a mem-ber of the genusPseudanthias,is related to agrouper, buttends to swimabove the reefand eat plank-ton.

These fishswim in groups,called aggrega-tions, usuallywith a dominantmale. Becausethe fish hecaught wasmore colorful than the others in itsgroup, with beautiful oranges andpinks, Greene believes it was the male.

�I�ve been back to the same loca-tion about 50 times,� he said, �but Inever have seen it again.�

Greene�s next step was to take hispictures to Dr. John Randall, ichthy-ologist at the Bishop Museum in Ho-

Not just another fish story

College student finds new species of fish at Kwaj

nolulu, who confirmed that it waslikely a new species.

When Greene returned to Kwaj forthe summer, he preserved the fishand took it back with him to theBishop Museum, where it now isamong a library of fishes in the ich-thyology department, while it is be-ing studied.

Randall is currently writing a pa-per describing five new anthius spe-cies, and when it is published,Greene�s fish will be namedPseudanthias greenei.

Greene said there are a number ofways to confirm that a fish is unique.Among them are observing its color,which varies by location, temperature,and age; measuring its body parts; X-raying and measuring its bone struc-ture; and genetic testing.

Greene has lived at Kwaj since hewas six months old. He started snor-keling at two, and was scuba-certi-fied at 12. His family has always hadaquariums.

After finishing his degree in marinebiology, Greene hopes to continuewith advanced degrees in ichthyol-ogy. His ideal job would be taking newfish specimens and describing them.

While the thrill of finding his firstnew fish may be hard to top, whoknows how many more are out therewaiting for him.

Brian Greene found this fish, believed to be a new species, nearKwajalein. If it is a new species, it will be called Pseudanthiasgreenei, in his honor.

Brian Greene, a Kwaj kid of 18 years, now studies marine biology at the University ofHawaii. Greene realized a dream in finding what may be a new fish species. The fishis now under study at the university.

Meck Bravo Team forms to deal with hazardous materialsBy Jim Bennett

Ten people on Meck trained withEnvironmental, Safety, and Healthlast month to learn how to clean uphazardous waste, becoming one offour �Bravo Teams� to be formed atUSAKA/KMR.

Bravo Teams already exist on Roi-Namur and Kwajalein and a secondteam will be formed on Kwajaleinlater this month. The teams meetOSHA training standards for thetreatment of hazardous materials.

�They�re like volunteer fire depart-ments,� said Jack Martindale of En-vironmental, Safety, and Health.

In the event of an emergency spillor accident, the Meck Fire Depart-ment, Kwajalein Police Department,and Environmental Office would re-spond first, Martindale explained.The Bravo Team would assembleand assist where needed, particu-larly in clean-up operations.

�(The training) was very informa-tive,� said Kelly Furgeson, of MeckOperations, who is incident com-mander for the team. �The guys dida really good job picking it up.�

The Meck team was drawn frommembers of various departmentsthat handle hazardous materials.Each member completed three daysof training that focused on identify-ing hazardous materials, under-standing physical and health risks,knowing the ins and outs of properpersonal protection equipment suchas respirators and protective suits,and working within the incident com-

mand system, Martindale said.To complete the mission, the unit

maintains three teams within theteam � de-contamination, entry,and backup. Members are cross-trained in all three.

As part of their training, the groupparticipated in a pair of scenarios.

In the first simulated response, theteam was tasked to clean up the spillof a 55-gallon drum of methyl ethylketone.

The team cordoned off the �hotzone� and donned respirators andrubber suits.

�Everyone got to suit up,�Furgeson said.

�We were able to react and clean itup without any injuries or fatalities,�he added.

In the second mock scenario, thegroup cleaned up paint that had

been spilled in an enclosed area.The first Bravo Team was estab-

lished on Roi-Namur in 1998, andsince then, they have successfullyworked several incidents.

Soon after their initial training, theRoi HAZMAT team responded to abulging drum of paint-related mate-rial. A safe response was accom-plished by isolating the container ina safe area and cooling the containerto relieve internal pressure. After-ward, the container was managed ina secure area until the chemical re-actions had ceased.

On Oct. 29, 1999, supporting legsof a 5,000-gallon tank-trailer of MO-GAS collapsed on a barge enroute toRoi-Namur. Though no leak oc-curred, the Bravo Team there de-ployed in support. The fuel wastransferred, and the tank-trailer wasremoved the next day.

Kwajalein has a clean-up teammade up of workers at the landfill,but Martindale said Environmentalhopes to expand the training to in-clude others on island through theBravo Team program.

In November 1999, the KwajaleinBravo Team, in cooperation with theFire, Police, Safety, and Environ-mental departments, safely re-sponded to a similar pressurizeddrum that was bulging. In this in-cident, a remote opening device wasplaced over the pressurized con-tainer that relieved the internalpressure while workers were sta-tioned at a safe distance.

The Meck Bravo Teamincludes: Danny Vin-luan, Lanny Abija, NedEdwin, Kendall Ko-manta, Kelly Furgeson,Fale Tagoilelagi, JamesPeay, Julia Olson, TikonTelenisa, ElizabethBrown, Jack Martin-dale, Yonemura Bellu.Not pictured, JohnnyAlbert.

New from the

Tape EscapeFrom Child Development Center

There isn�t enough day care onKwajalein for small children, accord-ing to a recent survey conducted bythe Kwajalein Child DevelopmentCenter, formerly named KAPS. Abouthalf of the 25 respondents said theyneed day care for their children whoare less than two-and-a-half yearsold.

Despite the need, KCDC supervi-sor, Trina Tiffany, said there is noroom to accommodate little childrenat their current facility.

What KCDC can do to fill the gap istrain people to care for children intheir homes. KCDC is looking forpeople who are interested in becom-ing family child care providers. Armyregulations require providers andtheir families to submit to a criminalhistory background check and homeinspection. Once that�s complete, anFCC provider must pass a free train-ing course in CPR, first aid, child de-velopment, and child care.

�If you�re running a child care busi-ness in your home more than 10hours a week, you must be certified,�said Tiffany.

Exceptions include people who carefor children fewer than 10 hours aweek and those who care for children

in the children�s home.Even older children can be caught

in the child care crunch. Whetheryou�re running to Surfway for milk,or working all day at the office, theArmy requires children on Kwajaleinto be properly supervised.

That means any child youngerthan 9 years old must be supervisedby either a parent, KCDC or school-age services, a certified child careprovider, another responsible adult,or an authorized babysitter.

According to Army regulations, ababysitter must be at least 12 yearsold. Sitters between the ages of 12and 17 cannot take care of childrenfor more than 12 hours at a time.

Children between the ages of nineand 17 may be left home alone forperiods of time based on their ageand maturity. They must know whatto do in an emergency, including howto implement a fire evacuation plan.Parents are responsible for makingsure their children have an acces-sible point of contact when they�renot available.

For more information aboutUSAKA�s home-alone policy or to findout more about becoming a familychild care provider, call Trina Tiffany,52158.

Kwaj is short on day care for youngsters

Range tests require training ...�You might watch 10 missions from

up there (in the VIP booth), and theremight be problems in some of them,but you�d never notice any differ-ence,� James said. �It�s not an emer-gency to (the controllers). That�s howcool these guys are and how well theyknow their systems.�

Much of that comes from training,and the same holds true for the di-rectors.

Test directors are regular Army of-ficers. They rely heavily on the tech-nical expertise of the civilians, butact as the government representa-tive in charge and make key mission-altering decisions, often in consul-tation with higher-ups through thechain-of-command. Before becominga test director, the officer assists atest director on at least two missions,

James said.The technical director � a Raytheon

engineer � must have a diverse back-ground, because he or she has to talkto radar, telemetry, optics, and allkinds of personnel, including VIPs,Hill said. All five technical directorson the staff have missile-testing ex-perience.

After being selected as a technicaldirector, the person completes 12 to18 months of training. During thistraining, he or she gains experienceat each of the consoles, and after be-ing certified as a technical director,continues to rotate among the KMCCconsole positions when not directinga mission.

Those years of experience areneeded when an RV comes streak-ing toward the atoll at six kilometersper second.

In B Division, Criminals stole theshow from Medicare in the WorldSeries 5-4, 10-2. Guppies wasousted from the playoffs by Medi-care, after all three teams finished8-2. Criminals automatically ad-

vanced to the big game, thanks to afortunate coin toss.

A split between Chapel and Broth-ers All during the C Division regularseason was erased by Chapel�s domi-nating performance in the World Se-ries, 16-2, 15-10.

The D Division World Series wasthe only one to go to three games.After winning 7-5 in extra innings,Spartans I Men lost to Tolemour inthe final two games, 13-6, 3-0.

Story and photo by Gwyne CopelandOn a trip to the Kwajalein Public

Gardens, visitors can see more thanjust native flowers and trees. Insectsare also there in abundance.

�It�s amazing how the vegetationcan change the environment,� saidRoxana González-Ball, garden bota-nist. During the past several months,work crews and volunteers havecleared away brush and added flow-ering plants to the gardens. Sincethen, González-Ball has noticedmany more insects. �We find prayingmantis and see black bumblebees �also dragonflies,� González-Ball said.

She said the butterflies are espe-cially abundant at 8:30 and 11 in

the morning. They can be seen light-ing on bright pink periwinkle orlemon yellow portulaca.

Kwaj residents have donated mostof the new plants in the gardens, in-cluding a giant bird-of-paradise,which is the centerpiece of a new dis-play.

In addition, the gardens is one ofthe few places on Kwaj to see a pro-ducing breadfruit tree. The trees wereplanted by the Yokwe Yuk Women�sClub more than 20 years ago.

The gardens are not only a placeto observe insects and plants. Theyare also working gardens, produc-ing plants for Self Help and thedowntown beautification project.

Butterfies are now a common sight at the Kwajalein Public Gardens.
