As spring continues, Americansacross the country are dealing withthe effects of inclement weather -communities are leveled by torna-does, rivers swell over their banksand flood homes and property andspring winds whip up fire poten-tials. The government must alsobe aware of weather threats andthe responsibility to always be pre-pared while managing a region’sresources properly. Preparationfor any possible contingency isvital to help ensure that a localityor region can endure and recoverfrom adverse weather conditions.

Each year, to property preparefor the upcoming hurricane sea-son that begins June 1, the Navyruns a yearly exercise called HUR-REX/Citadel Gale. The HURREX/Citadel Gale exercise is conduct-ed annually by Commander U.S.Fleet Forces Command (USFF)and Commander Navy Installa-tions Command (CNIC) to provideafloat and shore-based commandsan opportunity to exercise hur-ricane preparedness and installa-tion restoration plans prior to theonset of the hurricane season.

The purpose of this annual ex-ercise is to prepare U.S. naval forc-es to respond to weather threats toU.S. coastal regions, and to main-tain the ability to deploy forceseven under the most adverseweather conditions.

“HURREX/Citadel Gale 2014provides Navy Regions and Instal-

lations the opportunity to exerciseand assess their ability to preparefor, respond to, and recover fromthe threat of a natural disaster, aswell as validate Memorandums ofUnderstanding/Agreements withnon-federal government partneragencies.” said Bill Clark, CNICExercise Program manager.

Naval Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren beamed with youthful en-ergy during this year’s Bring YourChild to Work Day on May 1. Chil-dren and their Navy civilian or ser-vice member parents participated ina wide variety of activities, such astouring the installation’s wetlandsand emergency services, to scienceand engineering activities at the Na-val Surface Warfare Center DahlgrenDivision (NSWCDD), Aegis BallisticMissile Defense (BMD) and the Ae-gis Training and Readiness Center(ATRC).

The children not only saw exam-ples of what their parents do whenthey go to work, but also learned howstudying hard in school can lead toan exciting career. Of course, takinga day off from school to tag alongwith mom or dad wasn’t bad, either.

One of the many activities orga-

nized by at NSWCDD’s Z Depart-ment was Z32’s “Infrastructionary,”a board game about keeping vitalinfrastructure secure. The goal wasto keep a fictional school open bybuilding and securing infrastructureagainst a variety of threats.

While the event was intended tobe fun, it was also educational. “Thepoint of the game was to learn howredundancy and infrastructure helpto defend against disasters,” saidMelanie Lunney, infrastructure ana-lyst at Z32.

“We’re trying to get [the children]to recognize that there are vulnera-bilities out there and ways of protect-ing against them,” added Joe Rich-ards, infrastructure analyst at Z32.“We can make sure that somebodycan’t come in and do something badand protect [infrastructure] againstthings like natural disasters.”

Today We Got to Walk Into a Microwave OvenBy Richard and Riley Beale

Mike White - Potomac River Test RangeBy Gage Wagner

Chief Brooks Loves to Train His TroopsBy Matthew W. Earnhart

May 1, 2014 was Bring Your Childto Work Day at Dahlgren. We par-ticipated in the EEE (ElectromagneticEnvironmental Effects) tour. While wewere there we got to walk in a micro-wave oven. It’s actually a reverbera-tion chamber. It zaps missiles andcars with electromagnetic energy fromevery direction. They do it to makesure that the cars or missiles still workafter they test it. We also went in theanechoic chamber. It is covered inspikey foam triangles. They absorbany sound and/or radio waves. Theytest missiles in the anechoic chamber

with radio waves. The foam trianglesare there to absorb outside radiowaves. Riley said she enjoyed the partof the program where they talk about“rockets.” The “rockets” were reallymissiles with lots of EIDs (Electroni-cally Initiated Devices). They are alsoused to deploy air bags in cars andpilots’ life vests. I really enjoyed theprogram because of the cool “micro-wave oven” and all the cool stuff welearned. And lots of thanks to JustinMason and all the staff at HERO (Haz-ards of Electromagnetic Radiation toOrdnance) offices.

I did my story on the Mike White ofthe Potomac River Test Range, RangeOperations Center (ROC). Mr. Whitehas been at his job for 4 years. He doescoordinating and scheduling of thetesting range. He went to college andgot a recreation and sports degree. His

favorite thing to do is working at the“control operations center” (COM). Icould prepare by either going to col-lege or the military. If I go to college,I could get a degree in anything thatwould prepare me for a fast pacedworld where multitasking is a must.

Bring Your Childto Work Day has be-come a big hit at theDahlgren base. Withmany fun and engag-ing activities for kidsand adults, it gives thekids a chance to see allthe cool things that goon on base. I have at-tended many demon-strations myself, butone of my favoritesby far has been thewetlands tour. Bren-na White, host of theprogram, made a funand informative tour. She explainedhow the newly built constructed wet-land worked, and how wildlife adaptsto it. The purpose of the wetland is to

provide a natural filterfor the run off waterfrom the base into theMachodoc Creek. Kidswho attended this tour,such as David, Ryanand Everett Thomp-son, said they reallyenjoyed the wetlandstour. “I liked holdingthe fish and petting thebeaver skull, althoughthey felt really weird,”says Ryan. We also gotto watch effects of themechanism as waterflowed through the

wetlands and clear water exited intothe creek. Brenna White say, “Thereason I love my job is because I get tocombine engineering and outdoors.”

During the annual Bring Your Childto Work Day , Chief Bob Brooks and hisofficers gave a demonstration and atour of their training rooms and equip-ment. Chief Brooks is in charge of thepolice at NSASP and at Indian Head.He has been the police chief for a littlebit over two years. He has been in theNavy Seals, flown Army helicoptersand was on SWAT and dive teams witha Sheriff’s office. He said that there areone or two crimes on the base everyday, and most of the crimes have todo with traffic, but some of the othercrimes are more serious. The policeguard the gates to the base, and ChiefBrooks said that they don’t have policeboats, but they guard the shore usingcameras and by having police carsdrive by there at certain times. Peopleon the base will also call if someonegets too close to the base.

Chief Brooks’ favorite part of hisjob is training officers. During the po-lice tour, one of Chief Brooks’ officers,CPL Mason, showed us the guns thatthey use, the bulletproof vests, andthe shields. They also had gas masks,hammers to open doors, flash-banggrenades, and practice dummies. CPLMason let a few kids throw practiceflash-bang grenades that were veryloud. They have practice crime scenerooms so that officers can learn whatcrimes look like and how to investigatethem. They also have a special door

that they use to practice kicking doorsin. Three of the kids on the tour got tokick the door in. They have a black-outroom so they can practice using nightvision goggles. To become a police of-ficer, Chief Brooks said that you couldeither join the military to be a militarypoliceman, or that you could go to col-lege and study criminal justice, then goto a police academy.

From NSWC IHEODTDPublic Affairs

Rubbing their hands togeth-er briskly Tim Walters and MattRiloff very cautiously and care-fully placed their improvised ex-plosive device on the make-shiftstand, aiming it directly at thethick steel plate ahead of them.Once placed, the men crouch onthe cold, muddy field, checkingalignment once more, and hopingthey’ve placed the charge where itwill inflict the most damage to thestructure. Then they stand, andwalk eagerly down the hill to thesmall hut where they can witnesstheir engineering masterpiece inaction.

MIDN 1/C Walters and MIDN1/C Riloff are two of eleven mid-shipmen, or “Mids,” who spentthe semester learning about mod-ern weapon design and metal ma-terial characteristics in an ener-getics-based course taught at theU.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis,Md., Jan. 7 - April 29.

Modern Weapon Design(EM486B) is a 12-week electivecourse offered every spring to se-niors (and sometimes juniors inadvanced studies), and is taughtby Naval Surface Warfare CenterIndian Head Explosive OrdnanceDisposal Technology Division(NSWC IHEODTD) Senior Intelli-gence Officer Ken Conley.

“I began teaching the coursewhile on active duty as an engi-neering duty officer,” said Conley.“When I transitioned to civil ser-vice, the academy staff asked meto continue teaching the electivecourse, and IHEODTD leadershipwas very supportive. Any engi-neering student can sign up for thecourse, but it’s really more gearedtoward those students studyingmechanical engineering.”

According to Conley, thecourse covers theory, practicalknowledge exercises, two days inthe machine shop (where studentsfabricate and modify their de-signs), a warhead design exercise,and one day in the field wherethey get to put their creations tothe test. Conley also brings in oth-er ordnance experts from NSWCIHEODTD as guest lecturers whobring in designs for the studentsto explore. Physicist Carl Gotzmertaught the students about Reac-tive Materials. Dr. Al Stern taughtBasic Explosives. Dr. Dan Pinediscussed research on initiatorsand microelectromechanical sys-tems (MEMS). Engineers TimHennessey and Annmarie Shahancovered a section on warheads,and Brian Shaffer taught a sectionon Explosively Formed Projectiles.

“In addition to what they learnabout the metal characteristicsand properties, such as ductilityand tensile strength, the course isalso a great opportunity to intro-duce our future Navy leaders tothe Navy labs and Warfare Cen-ter Divisions,” continued Conley.“Most of these young men andwomen are going off to the Fleet,and it’s good for them to have ex-posure to, and an understandingof, where many of the Navy’s fu-ture capabilities come from.”

For the hands-on parts of thecourse, the Mids first use theAcademy’s machine shop to de-sign, machine, and modify theirown explosively formed projec-tile (EFP) designs; and then travelto the U.S. Army’s Blossom PointResearch Facility, near Welcome,Md., to detonate them on one ofthe facility’s test ranges.

“In the shop, the students fit asmall circular and curved pressedmetal disc inside of a PVC pipe.Once they finish with their de-sign and modifications, we taketheir devices out to Blossom Pointwhere our technicians loadedin C4, added a detonator, andhelped the students properly aimtheir IED at a steel-plate target,”said Conley. “We supervise thestudents in the shop and on therange to ensure everyone’s safetyand provide assistance. Becauseof our energetics and EOD experi-ence, we have a pretty good ideaabout what type of designs willwork best. However, when thestudents design and manufacturetheir devices, we don’t intervene.One, we want them to try out newstuff, not just what’s already beendone. Also, because of our expe-rience, it would be easy for us toget wrapped around what’s sup-posed to be done. By not limitingthem, we often find the studentswill come up with a unique design,something we haven’t seen or test-ed before - which means we get toexplore something new, too.”

So, how did Walters and Riloff’sproject fare?

Back in the hut behind thesafety berm at Blossom Point,the two young men stare at thelarge monitor shoulder-to-shoul-der with fellow Mids - excited tosee the results of their effort andhoping to make a good showingamong the other designs. NSWC

IHEODTD engineers and techni-cians remotely detonate the de-vice and document the event withhigh-speed video from the smallbuilding’s control station.

Within seconds the smallbuilding exploded with hoots andyells as the students watched theteam’s fiery ball pummel the steelplate in front of it. Cheers comeagain as the results are playedback for the group in slow-motion.

After the range is cleared anddeemed safe, the class is led backonto the test site to examine thedamage produced and to helpready the next team’s device.

Trudging back up the hillthrough themud,Walters and Rilofftriumphantly retrieve the steel platefrom the ground, excited to showeveryone that they can now peerthrough the two-inch steel platefrom the centrally-placed hole.

“This is hands-down the bestschool day ever,” said Walters.“Our design had a longer PVCpipe barrel, it was about the samesize as a traditional EFP, but ithad a bit more pipe extended atthe front. In the end, our designworked out really well.”

Of course, most engineering

breakthroughs are built on pre-vious failures, and while not allof the designs ended up piercingsteel, everyone learned valuablelessons from the experience.

“Like any true engineering ef-fort, students learn as much, if notmore, from the designs that don’twork,” said Conley. “From there,we have an opportunity to discusswhat didn’t work, to figure out whyit didn’t work, and how to changeour design until we succeed.”

“We wanted to try somethingdifferent and see what would hap-pen. So, we tried some really thickbrass without any additional mate-rial. In the end, it had an interestingshotgun effect, but broke apart toosoon. We also learned that brassisn’t a goodmaterial for this use be-cause it’s an alloy. If we got to do itagain, we would definitely go with athinnermaterial, probably copper,”said MIDN 1/C Parker Pierson.“This course has been a great over-view ofmilitary weapons, what theydo, and how the engineers designthem. This would be a really inter-esting field to go into after I leavethe military, and I like the thoughtof going on to support the Warfarecommunity, as well.”

NSWC IHEODTD - a field activ-ity of the Naval Sea Systems Com-mand and part of the Navy’s Sci-ence and Engineering Enterprise- is the leader in ordnance, ener-getics, and Explosive OrdnanceDisposal (EOD) solutions. As aDepartment of Defense Centerof Excellence and EOD DetectionEquipment Program lead, NSWCIHEODTD focuses on energeticsresearch, development, testing,evaluation, in-service support,and disposal; and provides warf-ighters solutions to detect, locate,access, identify, render safe, re-cover, exploit, and dispose of ex-plosive ordnance threats.

NSWC IHEODTD and Midshipmen end school year with a bang

Midshipmen watch to see how each design will perform as remotely detonated by Naval Surface Warfare Center IndianHead Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) Technician Kyle Shahan.

“Like any true engineering effort, students learn

as much, if not more, from the designs that don’t

work,” said Conley. “From there, we have an op-

portunity to discuss what didn’t work, to figure out

why it didn’t work, and how to change our design

until we succeed.”

NSF Dahlgren Bring Your Child to Work DayNSF Dahlgren Bring Your Child to Work Day

The game was apparently successful inthis goal; at one point, one of themore bois-terous children in the group rather suddenlyrealized that awater towerwas located in thedistance. a small example of the vital infra-structure thatmany take for granted.

Another youngster, Evan, 12, createdan impressive strategy during the game,accumulating and organizing assets intomultiple layers of defense. His inspirationcame from chess games against his dad,Todd Tarburton, a mechanical engineer

assigned to Z33. “I learned from him that.the more stuff you have, the better chanceyou have of winning,” Evan explained.

Evan said he couldn’t tell whether hisdad went easy on him during their father-son chess matches, but didn’t hesitatewhen asked if he ever won. “Yeah, I do.sometimes.”

“I let himwin,” said Talburton, smiling.“Yeah right!” replied Evan, perhaps

buoyed by his solid Infrastructionary per-formance.

Evan went on to describe Bring YourChild to Work Day as “amazing” and en-joyed seeing the place where his dad sup-ports the Navy. “I didn’t know they had allthis,” he said. “It was my first time actuallybeing on the base.”

Tarburton appreciated the perspectivethe demonstrations offered his children.“It gives young people a chance to experi-ence the real world,” he said. “Water, pro-tection, generators for electricity. there is aneed to keep those things going.”

His daughter, Abigail, 15, is a memberof the Charles County Navy Junior ROTCand would like to one day join the Navy orCoast Guard, though she isn’t quite sureabout which particular mission she’d liketo take on. “I hope I get into this [engineer-ing] someday,” she said. “I don’t know if Iwant to be out in the field or do what mydad does.”

Inside Z Department, children partici-pated in several activities such as an inter-active map event, a duck “hunt” with laser

guns and a sensor obstacle course. The lat-ter two events were favorites for Macario,10, son of Linda Willis, technical librarianat NSWCDD Q54. The honor roll studentwants to be an engineer when he grows up;his favorite subject is math and he enjoys“building stuff.”

Macario earned a high score at the la-ser challenge and proudly explained howhe succeeded in overcoming “the hardest”of the sensor obstacles.

“They call him the next Agent X,” said agrinning Willis.

Marcario exhibited the unflinchinghonesty of a child, however, when askedwhat he thought about his mom’s job.“It was very boring,” he panned, elicitinglaughs from Willis and other grownups

within earshot.Perhaps it was good that Marcario’s

paired his truthfulness with a lovely, de-coupage flower vase he made for mom atDahlgren’s Craftech. “I’ll take it,” saidWil-lis.

Other children enjoyed even the moremundane aspects of their parent’s job. In-explicably, the favorite part of the day forGabby, 8, was not the fire trucks, gamesor other activities most would describeas fun. “[I liked] cleaning out behind herdesk,” she said.

Gabby’s mom appreciated her devel-oping work ethic. “When you come towork you’ve got to work,” said Dawn Brett,comptroller at NSWCDD.

It wasn’t just parents who brought

young people to the day’s activities, butalso grandparents. Bill Dodd, electronicsengineer at NSWCDD Q54, brought hisyoung granddaughters Jadyn, 10, and Hal-ey, 11. The young ladies showed off theiraesthetic sensibilities at Craftech, wherethey created flower vases forMother’s Day.

While the girls were sugar and spiceat Craftech, they also appreciated theirtour of the gun line at Potomac River TestRange. “The gun range was cool,” Jadynsaid.

At the NSF Dahlgren Fire Department,the fun continued as children sat in firetrucks and tried on firefighter equipment.Firefighters “Bubby” Frye and Matt El-lis helped some very excited children usethe fire hose to put out a small “fire” con-

structed from wooden cutouts. The fire-fighters were unable, however, to save afoolish photographer who strayed down-range from being soaked by the youngmarksmen, to the delight of onlookers.

Benjamin, 5, was ecstatic when askedabout the day’s activities as he climbedthrough a fire truck. “I’ve seenmyDaddy’soffice and I [saw] the melting gun,” he ex-plained, jubilant.

“The lasers,” corrected his smilingdad, Christopher Reichart, branch head atNSWCDD Q22.

Benjamin, undaunted, went on to de-scribe the day. “It was great!” he said. “AndI’m seeing a fire truck right now!”

The enthusiastic youngster said heenjoyed “everything” and had narrowed

down his choices about what he wanted tobe when he grows up.” I think want to bein the Navy. because I want to see all thiscool stuff!”

Like many of the parents whose chil-dren enjoyed Bring Your Child to WorkDay, Reichart thanked organizers forcreating the day’s diverse activities.“They’ve done a great job putting outthe demonstrations and showing [thechildren] the very basics of science,” hesaid. “It gets the kids involved at an earlyage and hopefully inspires them throughhigh school and college. and they’re hav-ing fun. You get so much more interestin math and science when they’re havingfun. It’s great that [Dahlgren] supportsthis sort of stuff.”

- will participate in HURREX/Citadel Gale 2014, whichwill be conducted May 5 - 15.

The event will include functional and tabletop exer-cise events designed to train, evaluate and validate Na-val Support Activity South Potomac’s (NSASP) standardoperating procedures and actions during a hurricane.The exercise scenarios will evaluate the ability of NSASPto evacuate, respond and recover from a hurricane.

HURREX/Citadel Gale 14 will consist of two simu-lated tropical cyclones that will develop and intensifyto hurricane strength, and will threaten the EasternCoast of the U.S., the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbeancoastal regions. All Navy commands with personnel inNRMA, NDW, and NRSE, ashore and afloat, in port andunderway, will participate, to include reviewing and ex-ercising heavy weather instructions and procedures and

accounting for Sailors and Navy families in the affectedregions through the Navy Family Accountability andAssessment System (NFAAS). Forward deployed unitswill not participate in the exercise tracking and warningphase.

The Navy will focus on training under five “condi-tions of readiness” that start four days before a stormhits and progresses all the way up to 12 hours prior.

Over the last two centuries, tropical cyclones haveclaimed the lives of approximately 1.9 million people.The United States has had its own costly reminders ofthe strength of hurricanes, notably in 2005 with thestorm surge of Hurricane Katrina, which killed nearly2,000 and caused $108 billion worth of damage, the cost-liest in American history.

Ensuring Sailors and Families are SafeNDW, and the Navy as a whole, considers the safety

of its Sailors and their families to be the highest possiblepriority, especially during violent weather. Therefore,there is a large emphasis in all Navy commands on secu-

rity and accountability before, during and after destruc-tive weather.

The Navy Family Accountability and AssessmentSystem (NFAAS) is a key part of this accountability. TheNavy uses the NFAAS to account for Sailors and Navyfamilies, as well as to identify disaster-related needs ofNavy families. Sailors and their families should ensuretheir information is up to date in NFAAS. (NFAAS Web-site https://navyfamily.navy.mil)

With proper preparation and training, the dangers ofdestructive weather can be mitigated, and this year is nodifferent. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure thesafety of equipment, and more importantly, Sailors andtheir families.

The Naval Safety Center has information on pre-paring for destructive weather which can be found atwww.public.navy.mil/navsafecen/Documents/media/safetips/f-m/hurricane.doc.

More information on Navy Family Emergency Pre-paredness can also be found at www.cnic.navy.mil/CNIC_HQ_Site/WhatWeDo/FamilyLine/FamilyPre-paredness/index.htm.
