Defense Department offi- cials today announced plans to consolidate some military infrastructure in Europe to save the U.S. government more than $500 million an- nually while maintaining capability and commit- ments. The plans represent the culmination of the Euro- pean Infrastructure Consol- idation process, a two-year effort that was designed to ensure long-term efficiency and effectiveness of the U.S. presence in Europe, of- ficials said. The consolidation incorpo- rates the return of 15 sites to their host nations, part of U.S. European Command’s continued effort to remove nonenduring sites from its real-property inventory and allow more resources to be focused on other Eucom mission requirements. Not Affecting Capability “In the end, this transfor- mation of our infrastruc- ture will help maximize our military capabilities in Eu- rope and help strengthen our important European partnerships so that we can best support our NATO al- lies and partners in the re- gion,” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said. Hagel discussed the decisions yes- terday with his counter- parts in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Portugal – the four countries affected most by the actions. Derek Chollet, assistant secretary of defense for inter- national security affairs told reporters at the Pentagon today that European and trans-Atlantic security is more important than ever. “We are not affecting our operational capability,” Chollet said. “The EIC ad- justments do not diminish our ability to meet our com- mitments to allies and part- ners.

As we start another long weekend with the chance to travel and explore,I ask that you keep in mind and reflect on the amazing efforts put forth byDr. Martin Luther King Jr. His life’s journey and rise as a public figurestill inspires the Nation and continues to encourage all U.S. citizens tolive in harmony and realize their full potential. He applied the principalsof nonviolent protest to force our country to reflect on equality and changelaws related to voting rights, equal pay, quality education for all andracial segregation.

Dr. King was a towering leader and became a national figure in the 1955Montgomery Bus Boycott after Rosa Parks’ arrest. It was the 1963 Marchon Washington with more than 250,000 participants where Dr. King deliv-ered the famous “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorialto promote equal rights and communicate his vision for America. Theevent had a significant and lasting impact on our country’s history and ledto the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He received the Nobel PeacePrize shortly after.

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial was opened on the NationalMall in 2011 with inscriptions on the walls from many of King’s sermonsand speeches. On Monday, take the time to remember Dr. King, his contri-bution to our culture, and the sacrifices so many have made to improveour country. On Tuesday, Jan. 27 I invite everyone to attend the CombinedMulti-Cultural Heritage Committee’s celebration of Dr. King. It will takeplace in the Capodichino theater from 11 a.m. to noon and is open toeveryone.

There have been a lot of school events, competitions and meetings lately,as well as the announcement of some new scholarship opportunities.Thank you for taking part in these activities and supporting our NHSWildcats sports teams, who are having an amazing year. The UNDE-FEATED wrestling team will be hosting their last home meet of the seasonnext Saturday at 10 a.m. They’ll be using the meet to also raise cancerawareness, which is an impressive goal for our wrestlers. They’re askingthat attendees wear pink as they fill the high school’s stands and there willbe speeches given by high school members who have been touched by can-cer before the match starts. It should be a great event and hopefully ourWildcats wrestlers finish their season undefeated. Come out and supportyour teams, support the boosters, and support your community!

Obama Unveils Next Steps inCybersecurity Plan

Keep Your Family Safe:Practice Operational Security on Social Media

Sailors and Navy families can prevent potential ad-versaries from discovering critical information on so-cial media sites by practicing operational security.Examples of critical information includes where a

ship is going and when it is returning home or infor-mation about Sailors who deploy as individual aug-mentees.Navy families, too, should remain vigilant in not vol-

unteering any information that could unnecessarilyput their Sailors in harm’s way. Deployed and evenday-to-day operations are in many cases classified,and those sharing information with each loved ones orfriends should recognize the importance of keepingsensitive information secure. “Family members are vital to the success of the

Navy,” Shauna Turner, manager of the DeploymentSupport Program at the Fleet and Family SupportProgram, said. “But, potential adversaries also under-stand this.”It is not unprecedented for spouses and family mem-

bers of U.S. military personnel to be targeted for in-telligence collection. This is true in the United Statesand especially true overseas.Navy family members all know some bits of critical

information. It may not be classified, and it may evenseem insignificant. But, to the potential adversary, itis a piece of the puzzle. The power of emerging mediatools is a two-edged sword: It makes information ex-ceptionally accessible when posted - for anyone who isinterested, including potential adversaries. When communicating on social media sites do not

post the following information:- Exact deployment dates or return dates. This ap-

plies to ships, subs, squadrons and individual aug-mentees.

- Dates or location of a ship’s upcoming ports of call.- Detailed information about a mission.- References to trends in crew’s morale or an individ-

ual’s personal problems.- Details concerning security procedures, response

times or tactics.- Information about equipment readiness.- Speculations about future operations.

“The main rule is to simply use common sense,”Turner said. “Think before you post. Anything youpost on social media, including photos, is instantly available around the world. When indoubt, don’t post it.”Social media sites allow Sailors and Navy families to

keep in contact like never before. It is a wonderfulway to feel close to someone who is far away. Sailors and Navy families are encouraged to

enjoy the connection that social media offers whilepracticing operational security and keeping mindfulof the risks presented with the widespread dissemination of information.

Continuing an effort tohelp defend the nation’scomputer-connected sys-tems, President BarackObama Jan. 13 announcedtoday additional steps thatcall for more informationsharing, modernized law en-forcement and updated secu-rity data breach reporting.“Cyber threats pose an

enormous challenge for ourcountry,” the president said.“As long as I’m president,protecting America’s digitalinfrastructure is going to re-main a top national securitypriority.” Speaking at the National

Cybersecurity and Commu-nications Integration Centerin Arlington, Virginia,

Obama said since much ofthe nation’s critical infra-structure -- financial sys-tems, power grids, pipelines,health care systems -- runson networks connected tothe Internet, cybersecurity

is a matter of public safetyand of public health. Henoted that most of that infra-structure is owned and oper-ated by the private sector,but governmentand non-govern-ment entities are“still not alwaysworking as closelytogether” as theyshould. Better Informa-

tion Sharing “We’re proposing

new cybersecuritylegislation to pro-mote the greaterinformation shar-ing we need be-tween thegovernment and private sec-tor,” Obama explained. “It in-cludes liability protectionsfor companies that share in-formation on cyber threats.It includes potential safe-guards to ensure that gov-ernment protects privacyand civil liberties, even aswe’re doing our job of safe-guarding America’s criticalinformation networks.” The president also an-

nounced the “Summit onCybersecurity and Con-sumer Protection,” which isscheduled for Feb. 13 atStanford University in Cali-fornia. He said the event isintended to help shape pub-lic- and private-sector ef-forts to protect Americanpeople and companies fromgrowing threats to con-sumers and commercial net-works. “Neither government nor

the private sector can de-fend the nation alone,”Obama said. “It’s going tohave to be a shared mission

-- government and industryworking hand-in-hand aspartners. And that’s why I’vesaid that protecting our digi-tal infrastructure is a na-tional security priority and anational economic priority.”

Shared Responsibility Even before the internation-

ally reported hack of SonyPictures, the issue of cyber-security had gained promi-

nence within theDefense Depart-ment. In Novem-ber of last year,Navy Adm.Michael S.Rogers, the com-mander of U.S.Cyber Com-mand, the direc-tor of theNational Secu-rity Agency, andchief of the Cen-tral SecurityService, told the

Reagan National DefenseForum audience that net-work defense isn’t an either-or proposition that can beneatly divided into public-and private-sector responsi-bilities. "This is the ultimate team

sport," he said. "There is nosingle sector, there is no sin-gle element of this popula-tion, there is no singleelement within the govern-ment that has the total an-swer. It will take all of usworking together to makethis work." Rogers has used the term

“cyber blur” to describe theconvoluted way cyber attacksare both perpetrated by ene-mies and defended by Ameri-can entities. Last October, hecalled for leaders in all kindsof institutions to drive thecultural changes needed toallow new cybersecuritypartnerships to thrive. The president said the

federal government needs tocontinue collaborating onthis issue, too. He said hewill be working with Congress to ensure partisandisagreements don’t keepthe government from fulfilling its most basicresponsibilities.

In fact, these decisions will produce savings that willenable us to maintain a robust force presence in Eu-rope.” Throughout the process, Chollet said, the department

maintained a close and consistent engagement withCongress, the State Department, the Joint Staff, the in-dividual services, Eucom and European partners.

Personnel Impacts Divestiture of the Royal Air Force Mildenhall facility

represents the largest reduction in U.S. personnelamong all the actions. That base’s closure will pave the way for the station-

ing of two squadrons of F-35 Lightning II joint strikefighter jets at RAF Lakenheath starting in 2020, de-fense officials said. The basing decisions will result in a net decrease of

roughly 2,000 U.S. service members and civilians in theUnited Kingdom over the next several years. About3,200 U.S. personnel will relocate from RAF Milden-hall, and that will be offset by the addition of about1,200 people who will be permanently assigned to thetwo F-35 squadrons slated to open at RAF Lakenheath. Pentagon officials anticipate several hundred addi-

tional U.S. military personnel being assigned to Ger-many in the coming years, and about 200 more in Italy.Roughly 500 will be reassigned from Lajes Field in theAzores, Portugal, as part of streamlining efforts ap-proved and announced in 2012. John Conger, acting assistant secretary of defense for

energy, installations and environment, managed theEIC effort for DoD. He said the bottom line was thatthe department wanted to preserve its operational ca-pability while reducing the cost of supporting it.

Reduced Need for Support Infrastructure“As a result, we will not need as many support person-

nel to maintain a reduced infrastructure, in terms ofboth U.S. military and civilian personnel and host-na-tion employees,” Conger said. “Approximately 1,200U.S. military and civilian support positions will beeliminated, and about 6,000 more U.S. personnel willbe relocated within Europe. “Up to 1,100 host-nation positions could also be elimi-

nated,” he continued, “and approximately 1,500 addi-tional Europeans working for the U.S. could end upbeing impacted over the next several years, as many oftheir positions are relocated to areas we need to main-tain for the long term.”

MORE BASE NOTES IN THE SPOTLIGHTRICH ORTLOFF Throughout his 42

years of military life,Rich Ortloff hasserved his country, hiscommunity, andworked to improve thelives of others. While in Naples,

Italy, Ortloff is alwaysthe first one to step upfor anything, and hehas served as a modelof integrity and com-mitment as a militaryspouse, always goingthe extra mile to sup-port the communityand USO Naples.“I’m here for you!” is

his motto, which ap-plies to the troops,families, and USO vol-unteers and staff.Through participation with the USO, Naples Overseas

Support Club (NOSC), and the Harley Owners Group(HOG), Ortloff works collaboratively with others to makeItaly a home for those around him. He is the USO Naples Volunteer of the Quarter Winter

2015.From his staple position as lead volunteer at the USO’s

weekly Hot Doggin’ Tuesday, to taste of home dinners, tospecial projects, he is consistently reaching out to otherSailors to encourage, engage and support, a quality of ac-countability, which the NSA Naples USO relies upon. Mostnotably, he performed as co-host with his lovely wife at theannual Naples Got Talent 2014 talent show. The pair de-lighted participants and the audience alike with a heart-warming humor and tear-jerking tribute to the service ofmilitary spouses in the community.Ortloff shows a genuine respect for the struggles of Sailors

overseas that is reciprocated by all those he meets. “Since we were in this position before, giving back to the

families and service members is our priority,” he said.“We’ve been in this boat for 33 years, and I have a greatsense of the need to support and give back, and the valuethat show of support has to the troops.”His constant presence, calming nature, and positive atti-

tude have impacted every event he’s participated in. As aresult, he has built lasting relationships with volunteers,staff and troops.“I love to support those who support us, and the sincere

thanks that they give is an unforgettable display of grati-tude,” Ortloff said. “I will miss the troops and the friend-ships.” It was both a sad and joy-filled day when he announced

that his wife was retiring from the Navy and the couplewould be returning to California to retire near their family.He has become a fixture in the Naples community, and he isdefinitely going to be missed very much.
