The South Potomac Civilian-Mil-itary Community Relations (COM-REL) Council met May 9 at the Uni-versity of Mary Washington (UMW)Dahlgren Campus, where represen-tatives from several of the installa-tion's supported commands briefedthe community about how they servethe national defense.

Capt. Peter Nette, NSASP com-manding officer, welcomed atten-dees before turning over the podiumto Joe Grzeika, member of the KingGeorge County Board of Supervisorsand the local host for the event. "Wewant to welcome you all," said Grzei-ka. "We're glad you are in KingGeorge [County]."

Grzeika, who also serves on theUMW Board of Visitors, praised theeffort that led to the expansion of theuniversity.

"We had the state of Virginia seethe need to have a place ... to providehigher-level degrees, masters anddoctorates, to the scientists and engi-neers right here in Dahlgren, becausethat workforce is so critical," saidGrzeika. "We want to make sure [theUMW Dahlgren Campus] is a world-class research and development facil-ity for the Navy and for the nation."

The presentations that followedillustrated how commands hostedon board Naval Support Facility(NSF) Dahlgren support the nationaldefense.

"We've formatted the today'smeeting as a Report to the Commu-nity by all the major military com-mands onboard the installation,"Nette told attendees. "Our intent is tooffer a comprehensive review of ...the [commands'] daily activities andhow they integrate with Dahlgrenand the community."

Marc Magdinec, deputy com-mander for Navy Air and Missile De-fense Command (NAMDC), told at-tendees about how his command of75 personnel has grown sinceNAMDC's founding in 2009. "Ourmission has been evolving," he said."We started out as integrated air andmissile defense ... to defend againstballistic missiles, against air threatslike cruise missiles and aircraft.

"When you see ships deployedaround the world, our command ishelping those folks make decisionsabout where they should be operat-

ing ... to defend against certainthreats," he said. "We talk to peopleabout how to use the systems wehave in this very complex world. Wealso do assessments: our job is to fig-ure out what the Navy does and doeswell and where our gaps are."

NAMDC's role in the national de-fense does not stop at the shoreline,and several European nations areevaluating whether or not basing

Navy systems on land provides need-ed missile defense. "We're taking aship and a capability and we're plac-ing it on land, so we're able to protectagainst threats coming out of Iraninto Europe," said Magdinec.

Capt. Sam Hancock, chief of stafffor Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense(BMD) Field Activity, talked to thecommunity about his organization'srole in the military and told attendeesabout a challenging exercise beingundertaken.

"This evening we have a test flightmission," said Hancock. "We're goingtobeinterceptingaballistictestmissilein space this evening as we continuedevelopment of our future systems."

Hancock described how AegisBMD refines anti-ballistic missiletechnology and equipment as part ofthe Department of Defense's overallanti-missile strategy. Aegis BMD'swork is divided into three "pillars" ofcomputer program development,missile development and hardwaredevelopment.

Like NAMDC, Aegis BMD is active-ly involved in the "Aegis ashore" proj-ect to refine a sea-based system foruse on land. The organization alsomaintains existing Aegis systems on-

board ships and developing improve-ments and next-generation technolo-gy. "... All of that is being developedright here in Dahlgren," said Hancock.

Capt. Michael Smith, command-ing officer of Dahlgren's largest com-mand, the Naval Surface WarfareCenter Dahlgren Division, continuedthe RDT&E theme. He described sev-eral of his organization's responsibil-ities in the areas of laser, high-powermicrowaves, ordnance and lethalitytesting. "We are the Center of Excel-lence for the Navy's surface combatsystems," said Smith. "The areas weare working in are going to continueto grow even with the downturn indefense budgets."

Robert Tolhurst, executive direc-tor of the JointWarfare Analysis Cen-ter (JWAC), described how JWAC pro-vides "precise, technical solutions"for the operating forces across DoD.The organization evolved out ofNSWCDD and employs similar, tech-nical professions.

Capt. Donald Schmieley, com-manding officer of the Center for Sur-face Combat Systems (CSCS), de-scribed how CSCS trains Sailors re-

To MilitarySpouses - ThankYou For All You Do

May is Military Spouse Appre-ciation Month. This month ac-knowledges the significant con-tributions, support, and sacrificesof the spouses of our Militarymen and women. Since 1984,we've take time to celebrate themen and women that have sup-ported their military spousesthrough deployments, drill week-ends, cross-country and across-the-world moves, recruitingevents, training exercises, andmore, all while you kept the homefires burning. Your active dutyspouse volunteers to put theiruniform on every morning to serveour country. In a very real way, youvolunteer to accept all that goesalong with that. Here is a story thatalso centers on appreciation, andit's one that has direct bearing onthe lives of military spouses.

At the turn of the 19th Centu-ry, America was deep into whatwe now think of as the War of1812. The British burned ourcapitol, captured a few notableprisoners, and had their sights seton seizing control of the Port ofBaltimore. A young lawyernamed Frances Scott Key wassent to Baltimore to negotiate therelease of prisoners and, althoughhe was successful, found himselfsequestered onboard one of theBritish ships after having over-heard plans the British were mak-ing to attack Fort McHenry laterthat night.

In Baltimore, the defenders ofFt. McHenry had been expectingan attack for some time. MajorArmistead, the commander of Ft.McHenry, commissioned MaryPickersgill to sew a flag largeenough to be seen by the Britishships from a distance. That firstflag consisted of 15 white stars ona blue field, along with eight redstripes and seven white stripes. Itmeasured 30 feet high and 42 feetlong. That's just about half thesize of a standard movie screen.The only place large enough tolay it out and sew it was in thewarehouse of the local brewerywhere Mary worked every nightfor a week. It was finished onSeptember 12, 1814.

On the night of 13 September,the battle began. Major Armis-tead refused to surrender and or-dered men to do whatever it tookto guarantee the flag nevertouched the ground. It was to re-main constantly visible to theBritish out at sea. Frances ScottKey had a grandstand seat out onthe Bay from the safety of thatBritish ship, but all he could do

was watch. It was a sight to be-hold; all night long, bombs lit upthe sky. One shell made a directhit on the flag and tore out a fewof the stars. A British gunnerleaned over and told Key to watchand see, all the stars would begone by morning. As the nightwore on, fog rolled in, but evenwhen visibility was poor, the flagcould be seen standing tall, illu-minated by those burstingbombs. At some point in thepredawn, the shelling stopped,the air was still, and the fog wasthick. But then, at the first light ofdawn, there she was! The flag wasbattered and it was torn, but itstood tall flying proudly in the skysupported by the bodies of thesoldiers who had given their livesto ensure it remained upright.The experience moved Key sodeeply that he wrote a poemcalled "The Defense of FortMcHenry", which later becameknown as "The Star-SpangledBanner," our National Anthem.

Our country is once again atwar. We don't read about it in thehistory books; we live it. Today,our flag has 50 stars, along withseven red stripes and six whitestripes and it's our military mem-bers who ensure it never touchesthe ground. But your husbandsand wives don't bear the weightof the flag alone. You're right

there next to them, making surethat our flag, no matter how bat-tered and torn, waves proudly inthe sky. Every missed dinner andfamily plan ruined by weekendduty or that TDY that suddenlyappeared lay at the base of theflag. Every PCS when you leavefriends behind and your favoritepiece of furniture arrives brokenlay at the base of the flag. Everyhome repair you make on ourown, because we all know noth-ing breaks until your spouse isgone, lay at the base of the flag.Every second spent separated byyet another deployment lay at thebase of the flag. You sacrifice apiece of yourselves each andevery day to ensure that our flagnever touches the ground.

Our national anthem isn't anannoying interruption to ourmornings, nor is it a formality toendure before the "real fun" be-gins. It's a reminder that every-thing you face as military spousesmatters. What you do, day in andday out, often without consciousthought, is noticed and appreci-ated. When you hear our nationalanthem, you should all remem-ber that you play a vital role in en-suring that our star spangled ban-ner continues to wave over theland of the free and the home ofthe brave. Thank you for yourselfless service!

By Mike Welding,NSWC Indian HeadDivision Public Affairs,and John Joyce, NSWCDahlgren DivisionPublic Affairs

A capacity crowd of smallbusiness executives discov-ered a myriad of partneringand prospective contractingopportunities at the first joint"Small Business OpportunitiesFair and Conference" featur-ing two Naval Surface WarfareCenter (NSWC) Divisions atthe University of Mary Wash-ington (UMW) Dahlgren cam-pus May 8.

Top NSWC Indian HeadDivision (NSWC IHD) andNSWC Dahlgren Division(NSWCDD) leaders represent-ing command, technical,small business and contractsoffices shared their knowledgeand expertise with business-men and women interested inbecoming a partner or ex-panding their current partner-ship with NSWC.

"With the increased em-phasis on competition in thecurrent business environ-ment, keeping an eye on smallbusinesses and small businessparticipation is critical," saidKris Parker, NSWCDD Deputyfor Small Business. "Eventssuch as this help us (NSWCDD& NSWCIHD) determinewho's out there from a part-nering standpoint, and helpsmall businesses determinewhat efforts are coming upand where they should applytheir limited resources."

What's more, the Navy'scurrent and potential smallbusiness partners learned pre-cisely how they could alignwith the capabilities of the twowarfare center divisions.

"I am extremely encour-aged and optimistic about thefuture," said Earnest King,Chief Marketing Officer, IICorps Consultants, Inc. "Per-haps the most beneficial as-pect of the conference was theopen lines of communicationand willingness of the smallbusiness advocates at bothNSWC Dahlgren Division andNSWC Indian Head Divisionto assist small businesses withinsight and forecasted oppor-tunities to evaluate."

King was among approxi-mately 250 executives repre-senting more than 100 compa-nies who enjoyed a series of"firsts" at the event, including:

• A combined overview ofboth the NSWC Dahlgren Di-vision and NSWC Indian HeadDivision Warfare Centers(NSWCIHD)

• In-depth technical andbusiness overviews presentedby command staff from bothNSWC Divisions

• A new UMW DahlgrenCampus location to allow foreasier access and greater par-ticipation

The businessmen andwomen also networked withprofessionals from othersmall businesses, large busi-nesses and academia - fur-thering their opportunities forteaming and partnerships.

They listened to NSWCI-HD Commander Capt. An-drew Buduo and NSWCIHDTechnical Director DennisMcLaughlin as well as NSW-CDD Commander Capt.Michael Smith and NSWCDDTechnical Director Carl Sielpresent command technicaland business overviewsgeared to helping small andlarge business executives andentrepreneurs guide theirbusiness decisions.

"The warfare centers com-plement one another," saidSmith, pointing out that everyNavy warfare center divisionhas its own niche and collab-orates closely. "For instance,Dahlgren Division tests prod-ucts developed at IndianHead."

The event promoted serv-ice contract opportunities forsmall businesses with thePentagon-based Joint Chiefsof Staff, the Maryland-basedNSWC Indian Head Divisionand Naval Explosive Ord-nance Disposal TechnologyDivision as well as NSWCDahlgren Division, headquar-tered in Virginia.

"Indian Head is a good

place to do business," Buduosaid. "Our work is projected togrow over the next severalyears."

It may seem counterintu-itive during a time of declin-ing defense budgets to expectgrowth, but it has a lot to dowith Indian Head Division'smission beyond service con-tracts, explained McLaughlin.

"Developing energeticsweapons systems is a veryunique business," he added."For instance, we are the onlysite that conducts substantivework in all phases of weaponenergetics."

Chiefs of Contracts fromNSWCDD and NSWCIHD -Pat Canciglia and PennyKennedy respectively - pro-vided procurement forecastsand explained how they han-dle changes in the procure-ment environment while fo-cusing on small business.

"We are looking at our ini-tiatives to improve our smallbusiness contracting,"Kennedy said. "This is one rea-son we are doing things like in-dustry days, to reach out tosmall businesses and educatethem about what we do."

Both warfare centers part-ner with industry to bring inno-vative solutions and perform-ance improvements to thewarfighter at a reduced cost.

"NSWC Dahlgren is recog-nized for its leadership in sys-

tems integration," said Siel."We rely on you to augmentthat leadership. The complexsystems we develop and sup-port require quick and readyaccess to new technology andunique skills in order to meetthe needs of our warfighters.Sometimes the response timecan be very short. Readinessis everything."

The capabilities of smallbusinesses to provide rapidand cost-effective technolog-ical solutions are consideredan invaluable resource by theevent's leaders faced withchallenges associated with re-ducing total ownership costsacross the Navy.

"Without question, budgetconstraints are having an im-pact," said Smith. "But wecontinue to deliver criticaltechnology and products andare recognized for our leader-ship in surface warfare andsystems engineering."

NSWC Indian Head isplanning to have another in-dustry outreach day in Janu-ary 2013, one that will focuson the command's 144 tech-nical areas. "We expect anuptick in work due to ourunique technical capabili-ties," said McLaughlin. "Ourmanufacturing workload isalready increasing and mayoffer an opportunity for con-tractor surge support."

The warfare centers' par-ent command, Naval Sea Sys-tems Command (NAVSEA),has also embarked on a largerinitiative to promote compe-tition on contracts. Accordingto NAVSEA's Head of Con-tracts, Jerry Punderson,NAVSEA contract work to-taled $36 billion last year, withmuch of it going to singlecompetitive bid contracts.

NAVSEA wants to reducethe number of single compet-itive bid contracts for severalreasons, particularly to im-prove buying power.

"From a total ownershipcost perspective, hosting theevent at the University ofMary Washington allowedDahlgren to realize a savingsof approximately $15,000,"said Parker.

Several Naval SurfaceWarfare Center,Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) Pro-fessional Development Council (PDC)members and one senior engineerjoined representatives from several oth-er Department of Defense organizationsto support the 2012Team America Rock-etry Challenge (TARC) held at GreatMeadow, Va., on May 12.

Sponsored by the Aerospace Indus-tries Association (AIA) and the NationalAssociation of Rocketry (NAR), TARC isthe world's largest rocket contest. TARCwas initially meant to be a one-time cel-ebration of the Centennial of Flight. Dueto its popularity, TARC has become anannual event intended to foster enthu-siasm and encouragement among stu-dents to study math and science as wellas pursue careers in aerospace.

Several thousand students fromacross the U.S. participate inTARC everyyear. Teams of junior high and highschool students design, build and flymodel rockets that must reach a specificaltitude and fly for a set duration. Therockets must carry an egg as a payload.The teams must follow a set of rules thatchange each year when they developtheir models. These contests are de-signed to encourage students to studymath and science and pursue careers inaerospace.

NSWC IHD's employees supportedthis year's contest with a booth displayof actual rocket models that have beenor are currently in use. Senior engineer,FrankTse, a long-time proponent of par-ticipation in TARC, said it's important toreally connect with students.

"It is always great to listen to the stu-dent's questions about the items in ourdisplay, talk to them about the rocketsthey built for the contest, and show themcareer opportunities in rocket propul-sion," Tse said.

According toTravisThom, a memberof the NSWC IHD's PDC, the com-mand's booth was popular with the stu-dents, other children and adults.

"Our booth showed a concrete con-nection between what the studentsworked on and what we do at IndianHead Division," said Thom. "The popu-larity of our display was also due in partto the number of real world items wehad on display, including an ejectionseat and rocket motors."

The command's booth showed a

concrete connection between what thestudents worked on and work done at aNavy warfare center.

Andrew Jaffke, the 39th Term PDCChair, said this real world connectionmade an impact on the students.

"Providing an opportunity for thekids to see real-world applications of en-gineering concepts they learned aboutnot only helped promote STEM and In-dian Head Division, it energized the kidsto continue their pursuits," Jaffke said.

Tse and Rich Low, another NSWCIHD engineer, initiated the command'sinvolvement in TARC nine years ago.Low said the command's approach hasalways focused on the real world.

"We make sure the kids get to learnwhat real engineers and rocketry is all

about," said Low. "We also stress theycan pursue a viable career if they studymath and science in pursuit of an engi-neering or science degree."

Prizes at the 10th annual TARC in-cluded cash and scholarships split be-tween the top ten teams. Additionally,NASA invited the top teams to partici-pate in an advanced rocketry program.

As the largest Department of Defensefull-spectrum energetics facility, NavalSurfaceWarfare Center, Indian Head Di-vision is one of ten Naval Sea SystemsCommandWarfare Center Divisions. In-dian Head's mission is to research, de-velop, test, evaluate, and produce ener-getics and energetic systems for fightingforces around the globe.

Naval Support Activity SouthPotomac's Fleet and Family Sup-port Center (FFSC) in Dahlgrenrecognized 20 volunteers at a May9 ceremony for their work helpingservice members. The volunteershelped meet the needs of servicemembers in three vital areas: Vol-unteer Income Tax Assistance(VITA), serving in the Retired Ac-tivities Office (RAO) and as SexualAssault Prevention and Response(SAPR) coordinators.

Frank Furtado, FFSC director,welcomed guests and thanked thevolunteers for their service. "Weare here to recognize invaluableservice and contributions of ourvolunteers, who graciously give ustheir time and talents while per-forming duties as retired activitiesofficers, volunteer income tax as-sistants and sexual assault victimadvocates," said Furtado.

"The programs they supportwould not be as successful with-out the generosity of these indi-viduals that we honor today."

Capt. Peter Nette, NSASP com-manding officer, praised the workthe volunteers perform in all threeareas. "First I'll touch on the Re-tired Activities Office," he said. "Iappreciate all the support and as-sistance you guys do out here."

The RAO provides servicemembers with guidance about all

manner of military retirementbenefits, such as social security,burial benefits and pay al-lowances. All six men recognizedfor service at the RAO are them-selves retired service members.

"You have served," Nette toldthe volunteers. "Now, you advo-cate [about retirement benefits]and it's greatly appreciated."

Retired Army Col. David Gal-lagher, retired Army Col. John Hu-ber, retired Navy Capt. EllsworthPlump, retired Lt. Cmdr. RichardRowland, retired Navy Lt. LarryWheaton and retired Chief PettyOfficer Dario Cadena volunteered

327 hours serving 42 people in2011.

Preventing sexual assault iseveryone's duty in the military,but NSASP's SAPR coordinators goabove and beyond that call, volun-teering their time, energy andemotional strength to assist vic-tims.

"It's become a big topic in themilitary across all services," saidNette. "[Sexual assault] is an un-fortunate occurrence in our mili-tary, specifically the Navy. There'sa lot of work that goes in to pre-

WASHINGTON - Commander, Navy Installations Com-mand (CNIC) announced the phased Navy-wide release ofthe Housing Early Application Tool (HEAT). This webbased tool will allow Sailors and their families to apply forhosing online form any computer.

The launch of HEAT allows Sailors to tap into theirDEERS record while ensuring privacy of personal informa-tion, creating an easy user experience.

Service mem-bers or their spouses can use HEAT prior to receiving PCSorders to request information about community housingor check on their eligibility for military and privatizedhousing. They may also submit HEAT requests to multipleinstallations if they are not sure where they may be sta-tioned next.

Corky Vazquez, CNIC N93 Housing Program Manager,said, "Our goal with HEAT is to reach out to Sailors earlyin the PCS process to reduce stress and provide proactivesupport when moving from one duty station to another.With HEAT Sailors and their families are able to make con-tact with our Navy Housing Service Centers and Privatiza-tion Partners to discuss their housing needs and learnabout their housing options at any time. HEAT makes iteasy to connect with our housing professionals and makeinformed decisions before even having orders."

Class Sarah Wood were all recognizedfor their service as SAPR Coordina-tors.

The last awards went to four indi-viduals with a knack for somethingmost people despise: tax preparation.The VITA volunteers put those skillsto use to not only save service mem-bers money, but keep them on goodterms with the taxman. "Everybodylikes that," said Nette. "It puts moneyback into service members' pockets."

The amount of money VITAhelped service members onboardNSASP save was much more thanmere pocket change. In 2011, the vol-unteers brought in

$1.5 million in federal refunds,

saving 753 service members an esti-mated $145,000 in tax preparationfees. The VITA volunteers gave 1,419hours of their time during tax season."That is significant," said Nette.

"It's a lot of savings, especially forour young service members..."

Carol Allison, Chief IntelligenceSpecialist (Surface Warfare/Air War-fare) Darin Kroft, Carol Sparbel andSteve Wisener were recognized forthe outstanding service they provid-ed as part of VITA.

Nette reiterated the valuable serv-ice provided by volunteers of allthree programs. "I commend youand I thank you for everything," hesaid.

sponsible for operating advanced combat systems.With a mis-sion to train Sailors such as fire controlmen and sonar tech-nicians, Schmieley expressed solidarity with UMW. "We'reall about training," he said. "We are in the same business."

Schmieley told attendees about how CSCS manages 14schools around the country, each with a mission to trainSailors on advanced combat systems. One of those schools,the Aegis Training and Readiness Center (ATRC), is locatedin Dahlgren. Capt. Ian Hall, commanding officer of ATRC,told the community about his organization's mission.

"What we do at the Aegis Training and Readiness Centeris ... to train young men and women how to operate thesevery complex combat systems," he said. "We take technicalconcepts and technical equipment and break it down sosomeone with a high school education can understand it."

ATRC trains officers and enlisted Sailors and also offersteam courses that provide guidance to crews. The commandalso hosts the largest number of service members inDahlgren and was recently re-accredited, allowing studentsto continue receiving college credit for completing training."We jealously guard those standards," said Hall.

The last command representative to speak was Ken St.Clair, deputy for the 20th Space Control Squadron Detach-ment One.

The command processes data collected from the AirForce Space Surveillance System, better known as the SpaceFence. The multi-staticVHF system monitors objects in orbitand collects 191,000 observations per day, on average. A se-ries of transmitter and receiver sites along the 33rd Parallelallows the Space Fence to collect observations passively, 24-hours a day.

"Our system is unique ... in that it's an un-cued sensor,"said St. Clair. "We don't have to look for objects. Our fenceis sitting there all the time; if something passes through it, wepick it up."

The South Potomac Community Relations Council meetsquarterly and includes representatives from military com-mands on NSF Dahlgren and NSF Indian Head, as well as com-munity leaders and businessmen from King George Countyand and the Town of Colonial Beach in Virginia and CharlesCounty and the Town of Indian Head in Maryland.

TheTown of Indian Head will host the next COMREL meet-ing, scheduled for Aug. 2.
