Naval Surface War- fare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Dis- posal Technology Divi- sion (NSWC IHEODTD) hosted an Industry Day at the College of South- ern Maryland Center for Business and Industry in La Plata, Md., Nov. 4. Nearly 200 participants attended the event to get a basic understanding of the Division and learn about potential contract- ing and/or subcontract- ing opportunities. “If we are going to succeed in our mission - provide solutions to our warfighters, we need the support of industry part- ners,” said NSWC IHEOD- TD Commanding Officer Capt. Vincent Martinez. “Industry Days such as this give us an opportuni- ty to help you understand our current and projected needs.” “Today is about part- nerships and opening lines of communication between NSWC Indian Head EOD Technology Division and the busi- ness community. And for those of you from small businesses, don’t let the technical nature of what we do intimidate you. We also have needs for routine business sup- port,” continued NSWC IHEODTD Technical Di- rector, Ashley Johnson. “Ultimately, we’re all here to support the Navy and Marine Corps team, and increase warfighting capability and capacity.” Guest speaker Alyce Bull- ock, Economic Industry Analyst Assistant Direc- tor for the Secretary of the Navy’s Small Business Programs, discussed ac- complishments and up- dates to the Small Busi- ness Accessible Market. “Our office is the advo- cate for small businesses. We look for opportunities, develop products and help establish policies that allow small business- es to support our Sailors and Marines throughout the Department of the Navy,” said Bullock. “The Department of the Navy has a significant amount of funding each fiscal year obligated to programs that, at the prime con- tracting level, are award- ed principally to other- than-small businesses. These are areas where the small business industry has little or no industry to support the requirements in areas such as, major shipbuilding, nuclear re- actors, winged aircraft, and weapon systems.

The guest speaker for the event was Capt. Mary Feinberg, Naval Support Activity South Potomac commanding officer. “It’s an honor to be here,” she said. “I want to thank you for the opportunity to spend Veteran’s Day with King George County. I’ve had the pleasure to get to know this community and found King George to be welcoming, gracious and kind. It’s the kind of place that represents the very best of America and the values on which the country was founded.” Feinberg said the country didn’t be- come what it is by accident. “It took the hard work and sacrifice of generations of Americans, and above all, veterans that made us the country that we are today,” Feinberg said. “Veterans are our family, friends, neighbors and co- workers. On behalf of a grateful nation, I want to personally thank the veterans in attendance for your service.” Feinberg also recognized her parents, who both served in the Navy, and helped shape her future and career as a Naval of- ficer. “Little did either of my parents know how their military service would lead to my own Naval service,” Feinberg said. “I can remember my father encourag- ing me to consider the Naval Academy for college, but I had other ideas. I can specifically remember telling my father I’m never joining the military, I’m never wearing a hat on my head, and I’m never wearing a uniform. Look at me now. My father and I still laugh at my comments, but I couldn’t be prouder of his and my mom’s service to our country. I’m hon- ored and humbled to follow in their foot- steps.” Feinberg then talked about how citi- zens, military and civilian, in the local area have answered the call to service. “I can tell you at Naval Support Facil- ity, Dahlgren, many veterans continue to serve our nation whether they wear a uniform or not,” Feinberg said. “Our mission at Dahlgren is to prepare our Navy to take on our adversaries and we take that mission very seriously. There are few more qualified to undertake that mission than the veterans and they are a vital part of our team.” The community surrounding Dahl- gren is also part of that team and she said the mission couldn’t be completed with- out the support of citizens and leaders outside the gate. “The patriotism and hospitality this community has shown me today are the same things it shows the base every day,” Feinberg said. “Naval Support Facility Dahlgren would not exist without King George’s support. I want to conclude by thanking the community of King George and especially its veterans on this day. We would not be where we are today as a nation and as a community without your service.

The paper addressedin detail the implicationsof these developments forAustralia’s national secu-rity and defence settings,outlined Australia’s strate-gy for maintaining a highlycapable and credible navy,

their contribution to theregion’s long-term secu-rity, and how Australia willseize opportunities andmanage challenges in thecurrent strategic environ-ment. CDRE R.H. Elliott isresponsible for developingand gaining governmentapproval for these futureAustralian Navy capabili-ties and visited CSCS andATRC to discuss trainingand see firsthand how theU.S. Navy is training theRAN Sailors manning thenew Hobart class of air war-fare destroyers (AWD).

CSCS Commanding Of-ficer Capt. Bill McKinleyhosted Elliott during AWDdiscussions.

“This visit was not onlyimportant to illustrate toCommodore Elliott ourtraining capabilities andprocesses, but to also re-emphasize our partnershipwith RAN. Our relation-ship has produced a resil-ient, global naval presencein support of the MaritimeStrategy and will contin-ue to do so in the future,”McKinley said.

“Commodore Elliott ob-served a blended learningsolution that includes stan-dard classrooms, hands-onlabs, simulations, as wellas computer-based and in-teractive courseware train-ing,” Galluch explained.“Training commenced inJanuary of this year and thelast course will concludebefore the New Year.

“I have been very im-pressed with what has beendiscussed and shown to metoday,” he said. “The RAN’sfuture upgrades to the HO-BART Class DDG and itsassociated Combat System

guide to a national database that had previously beenunavailable to JWAC. His efforts in this regard directlyled to the creation of 147 products. In addition, Williamssupported two different combatant command exercisesthrough the creation of 25 products. He also served asJWAC’s watch bill coordinator, managing more than adozen employees and ensuring 100 percent flawless ex-ecution of duties. Lastly, Williams developed a standardtraining program for all new employees in his division.

Navy Lt. Cdr. David M. Halpern was chosen the FieldGrade Officer of the Quarter. As JWAC’s new liaison toU.S. Pacific Command, he supported a theater war gameby providing 30 analytical products to operational com-manders and eighteen command briefs to different agen-cies. His work greatly increased JWAC’s visibility through-out the Department of Defense. In addition, Halpern waschosen to be a liaison to another combatant command,filling a vital need to support U.S. Strategic Command,JWAC’s higher headquarters. Besides his assigned duties,he is currently enrolled in the Naval Postgraduate Schoolin a master’s program in business administration.

Bradley E. Anderson was chosen the Senior Civil-ian of the Year for his analytical support of a Joint Staffproject, his collaborative work with other commands atDahlgren and elsewhere, and for his dedication to self-improvement. On his own, he spent more than 70 hoursin specialized training. Outside of work, Anderson alsocoached several baseball teams and helped to raise mon-ey for youth sports and equipment.

The Imagery Workflow Team comprised of more thantwenty employees was chosen as the Team of the Quar-ter. Team members were Kerry L. Beaver, Stephen W.Bennett, Clyde W. Bowers, Mary S. Brown, Tim C. Dah-mer, Celeste M. Henkel, Dwayne Y. Holladay, Phillip A.Huxtable, Francisco M. Jackson, Frank O. Jeter, JeffreyM. Kent, William H. Kieldsing, Thomas M. Liles, Hoa N.Nguyen, Kendall T.

They were cited for their pro-fessionalism and dedication to duty.
