By breaking a code, they un-locked victory.

Station HYPO, also known asFleet Radio Unit Pacific, won oneof the greatest battles of the war:the battle of intelligence. NavalIntelligence has a long and proudhistory in the United States'armed forces, and they certainlyproved their value during thedays leading up to what wouldbecome one of the greatest navalvictories of all time: the Battle ofMidway.

The Battle of Midway is beingcommemorated this year for its70th anniversary. The battle,which took place from June 4-81942, was a turning point in thePacific War and arguably set thestage for the United States to helpwin the Second World War. A cer-emony will be taking place at theNavy Memorial located on Penn-sylvania Avenue NW between 7thStreet Northwest and 9th StreetNorthwest in downtown Wash-ington on June 4.

The battle is noted as being

the first real turning point in thewar, and the first decisive victoryby the United States in the warwith Japan. The Imperial Japan-ese Navy (IJN) had already madebroad strokes in the Pacific, be-ginning with the attack on PearlHarbor, the invasion of the Philip-pines, Malaya and Singapore, theBattle of Wake Island and recentlya tactical victory at Coral Sea.

With these victories, however,came a sort of overconfidence ofthe Imperial Fleet, and they firststarted to show weakness withthe breaking of JN-25, the navalcryptography used by the Japan-ese navy in 1942. Although itwasn't the first Japanese code tobe broken by U.S. forces, nor thelast, it was supremely important.

JN-25, as it was called byAmerican intelligence officers,was used for high-importancetransmissions, such as shipmovement and other commands.Preceding the attack on PearlHarbor, JN-25 was sparsely useddue to the lack of any large oper-ations in the Pacific, which gaveAmerican cryptanalysts little towork with. Although the United

States had cracked the PURPLEcode, used by the Japanese For-eign Office, ultra-nationalists inthe armed forces did not trust thediplomatic service and did nottransmit much for the U.S. towork with.

JN-25 also had a tendency tochange, and almost every adjust-ment lead to a new start for intel-ligence teams at HYPO. Also,leading up to Midway with sisterintelligence stations being threat-ened by Japanese advance, HYPOwas placed under extreme pres-sure to crack the code. Lt. Cmdr.Joseph Rochefort, the head of theHYPO station, pushed his teamfor 36-hour shifts, and has beenreported to have worked in hisbathrobe and shown up to brief-ings and meetings disheveled.

"By the middle of March 1942,two viable naval radio intelli-gence centers existed in the Pacif-ic: one in Melbourne, Australia[FRUMEL], and one, HYPO, inPearl Harbor, Hawaii... The centeron Corregidor was no longer affil-iated with a fleet command, and

Becoming the first Asian-American flag officer is quitethe accomplishment.

Asians and Pacific Islanders have a proud tradition inthe U.S. Navy and in the armed forces as a whole. Their in-fluence has been felt far and wide in the Navy and has ulti-mately provided a strong effort in a global force for good.

Rear Adm. Gordon Pai'ea Chung-Hoon was born on July25, 1910, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The second youngest of fiveChung-Hoon children, he attended the U.S. Naval Academyand graduated in May 1934. While at the Naval Academy,he was a valued member of the Navy Football team.

USASEF is re-invigorating theinterest of our nation’s youth inSTEM by producing and present-ing the most compelling, exciting,educational and entertaining sci-ence festival in the United States.

“This festival is so exciting . . .the children are having an amaz-ing time and learning so much,”said Ms. Hinton, a Forest HeightsElementary School teacher inPrince George’s County, Md. “I dohands-on labs in our classroom sothis extension is great. I love theway my students are thinking out-side of the box – it is a great feel-ing.”

Ms. Hinton’ students were tak-ing advantage of the multi-faceted programs at USASEF thatgarnered high entertainment val-ue and integrity of scientific con-tent.

“I enjoyed building the rocketand watching it blast off,” saidForest Heights ElementarySchool, PG County third grader,

Na’Zyia Jackson. “I would like tosee projects like this in my class!”

USASEF involved the most dy-namic leaders in business, tech-nology, government, education,and culture.

“I think that events like the Sci-ence & Engineering Festival willhelp us determine our future ca-reer and open up our options forcollege,” said Milton Somers Mid-dle School eighth grader, KarismaMagsakay. “It will also broadenour knowledge about science andengineering.”

The festival appeals to a massdiverse audience of all ages andbackgrounds, from professionalsto novices, from science enthusi-asts to the merely curious.

USASEF fosters a strong foun-dation of prestigious and impres-sive institutional partner resultingin increased communication be-tween the scientific and educa-tional communities.

USASEF strives to produceprograms at the highest level ofquality, applying professional me-dia and theatrical standards of ex-cellence and technical sophistica-tion.

The Naval Sea Systems Com-mand (NAVSEA) booth broughtan engaging, hands-on dry-dockmodel experience to the USASEFparticipants, which “developedinterest in Science, Technology,Engineering, & Math (STEM)fields,” said Puget Sound NavalShipyard (PSNS) Marine Electri-cian, Stephen Mastel. “The dry-dock model can also be used todemonstrate the Navy’s steward-ship of the environment.” A dry-dock is a narrow basin or vesselthat can be flooded to allow a loadto be floated in, then drained toallow that load to come to rest ona platform – it is utilized for con-struction, repair, and storage.

“This conference is for andabout the future of the U.S.,” saidDr. Lawrence Schuette. “Our futureis best embodied in our children.There is no better future thenSTEM.” Dr. Lawrence Schuette isthe director of the Office of Innova-tion at the Office of Naval Research(ONR) in Arlington, Va. As the sen-ior civilian responsible for Innova-tion at ONR, he oversees the high-risk/high-payoff “game changing”technology investments.

USASEF is sustaining the Sci-ence Festival’s impact through year-round programming and curricu-lum development and a content-rich, interactive website, please visitat: http://www.usasciencefestival.org/.

“Events like USASEF are fantas-tic and reinvigorating,” said New-port Undersea Warfare Center(NUWC) Newport EducationalOutreach Coordinator, CandidaDesjardins. “Watching the faces ofthe kids trying something new, isexciting for us as well . . . DoD has awealth of people with a distinctpassion for STEM - using that re-source is wonderful.”

NSWCCD has a broad outreachobjective to partner with localschools to increase students andteacher’s awareness and under-standing of careers in STEM. NSW-CCD scientists and engineers areuniquely participating in STEM ac-tivities such as the USASEF andother various programs that em-phasize and foster a wealth ofknowledge geared towards themaritime industry of tomorrow.

Team Navy/Coast Guard domi-nated the swimming events in thelast day of competition at the 2012Warrior Games in Colorado Springs,Colo., May 5.

The team's swimmers took 16medals, including 11 golds, to bringTeam Navy/Coast Guard's totalmedal count to 31, exceeding the 27won during the 2011 games. TheVice Chief of Naval Operations(VCNO) Admiral Mark Fergusonawarded the medals and spokeproudly of the athletes.

"What a great inspiration," Fer-guson said. "What I like mostabout being here is that the loud-est cheers come not from thosewith the most medals, but moreoften for those with the biggeststruggles."

Navy Explosive Ordnance Dis-posal Lt. Brad Snyder swam for threeindividual gold medals in the men'sopen 50-meter freestyle, 100-meterfreestyle and 50-meter backstrokeevents. His backstroke time of 34.19seconds is the fifth fastest in theworld in the visually-impaired para-lympic category. From St. Peters-burg, Fl., Snyder was blinded by animprovised explosive device whiledeployed to Afghanistan in 2011.

"I began swimming as soon as Ileft the hospital," said Snyder, whowas on the U.S. Naval Academyswim team, about how swimminghas helped him in his recovery. "I'mnot physically disabled, but naviga-tionally disabled. When I swim, Ican relax and not have to worry

about whether I am going to walkinto a wall or into a piece of furni-ture."

Retired Navy Lt. John Edmon-ston won a bronze medal in themen's 50-meter freestyle openevent. After suffering traumaticbrain injury during a motorcycleaccident in 2009, Edmonston hasnot let setbacks deter him.

A native of Bremerton, Wash.,Edmonston competed for the titleof Ultimate Champion, coming inthird place in the pentathlon-style

competition which included eventsin cycling, swimming, shooting,track and field.

Navy Mineman 2nd Class LindaSimpson won an additional threegold medals for Team Navy/CoastGuard in the women's single legamputee 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter freestyle and 50-meter back-stroke events.

Simpson, of Bremerton, Wash.,was injured in a motorcycle accidentin 2011 that resulted in the loss of herleft leg. Reflecting back on her recov-

ery and participation in the 2012Warrior Games, Simpson comment-ed,"WhenIwokeupfrommyampu-tation surgery, I knew I could eitherchoose to sit and cry or I couldchoose to move forward; I chose tomove forward."

Navy Explosive Ordnance Dis-posalTechnician 1st Class John Kre-mer won two gold medals in themen's double leg amputee 50-me-ter backstroke and 50-meterfreestyle events. He also captured asilver medal in the men's double leg

amputee 100-meter freestyle event.Kremer, a native ofWhidbey Island,Wash., stepped on a landline whiledeployed to Afghanistan in 2010,causing the loss of both legs.

Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rdClass Red Ramos won gold in themen's single leg amputee 100-me-ter freestyle event and two silvermedals in the men's single leg am-putee 50-meter freestyle and 50-meter backstroke events. Originallyfrom Fremont, Calif., Ramos waswounded in an improvised explo-sive device during his first combatdeployment to Afghanistan in 2011.

Ramos, who has never partici-pated in swimming competitionsprior to theWarrior Games, was sur-prised and elated by his win, buteven more awed by the camaraderiebetween the services.

"I thought it was going to be abloodbath competing against eachother, but it's not like that at all. Ican't explain it," Ramos said. "All Iknow is that I'll never be the sameafter being here."

Navy Hospital Corpsman 2ndClass Max Rohn of Longmont,Colo., took the bronze medal in themen's single leg amputee 100-me-ter freestyle event. Rohn waswounded during a rocket-pro-pelled grenade attack while serv-ing in Iraq in 2007, which led to theamputation of his right leg.

The final show of TeamNavy/Coast Guard's dominancewas the last event of the day and theWarrior Games, the mixed 4 x 50-meter freestyle relay. Individualmedalists Snyder and Edmonstonjoined teammates Navy HospitalCorpsman 2nd Class Chris Marshand Navy Aviation Machinist's Mate

Children made their boisterouspresence felt across Naval SupportFacility (NSF) Dahlgren as com-mands across the base hosted BringYour Child to Work Day events April26. More than 400 employees anddependents participated in the pro-gram, which featured 19 separatedemonstrations, toursandhands-onprojects sponsored by five supportedcommands and tenant activities onthe installation. While the childrenwere the center of attention, the kids'enthusiasm was nearly matched bytheir service member or Navy em-ployee parents.

From scientific experiments, tointeractive and competitive events,parents relished the chance to showkids a little bit about what mom ordad does at work.

"I think there's a lot of mystique

about where we go off to every day,"said Michael Burkholder, a scientistwith the Naval SurfaceWarfare Cen-ter Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD)who brought his 10-year-old daugh-ter Emily to work. "[Children] see thebase, but there's a fence around itand they don't know what goes on.This gives them the ideal opportuni-ty to spend the day on the base andactually see our offices. [Emily] hasbeen looking forward to it for quitesome time."

Emily checked out the displays atNSWCDD's Z Department with herfriend Tamara, 11, whose parents,Donna and Eric Wheater, also workfor NSWCDD.

"It's a fantastic opportunity fortheir own education and to expandwhat they think about science," saidDonna, an engineer. "This opens upthe world of what we do and how weapply science."

At the Chemical, Biological andRadiological (CBR) Defense branch,

parents and their children marveledat NSWCDD scientist Max Lupton'sever-popular liquid nitrogendemonstration.

"I think that Bring Your Child toWork Day is really important be-cause the kids don't know what wedo," said Diane Cox, a security officerand mother of two, who observed,"The science, technology and mathapplications they have [in Dahlgren]are important, especially for younggirls. Today's experiments are reallyexciting. There are good role modelshere."

Cox noted how seeing classroomsubjectsappliedinreal lifemakesherjob as academic cheerleader a biteasier. "I remember thinking in highschool when am I ever going to usemath or geometry again," she said."So this is a really cool way for thekids to see how education translatesinto a job.

"The briefs the employees aregiving have been great because

they're speaking to the kids' level.Anything [the children] are interest-ed in, they can do in Dahlgren, whichis amazing."

Cox's son Montgomery, 6, cer-tainly had the necessary curiosity toone day become a scientist. "My fa-vorite [subject] is math," he said, ze-roing in on the reporter's small voicerecorder. "That's a really smallphone."

Overlooking the action was MikePurello, head of CBR Defense Divi-sion, who seemed surprisingly atease with the young people overrun-ning his conference room.

"One of the things that I thinkmakes our country - and Navy - greatis technology, especially in the areasof math, science and engineering,"he said. "A lot of the technology andquality of life products that we takefor granted today can be attributedback to a scientist or engineer."

Purello thought Bring Your Childto Work Day was not only a fun

event, but one which might helpNavy maintain a pool of talentedemployees in the future.

"We owe it to young students totry and get them interested in thosefields, and they are tough fields," hesaid. "They require a lot of academicdiscipline and although I think thereare a lot of kids interested, they don'talways get exposed to these fields.

"This kind of event lets the kidssee what their parents do and expe-rience different technologies to peaktheir interest. It is fun and the kidssee that. If several of the kids in thisroom decide they want to be a scien-tist or engineer based on what theysaw today, I think we've accom-plished something."

Purello praised the extra-curricu-lar efforts his employees put forwardto make the day's CBR events possi-ble. "Obviously a lot of time and ef-fort goes into the preparation," he

its collection and processing capabilitieswere rapidly disintegrating as a result ofevacuations of personnel to Australia anddestruction of its facilities by bombing andgunfire," said National Security Agency his-torian Frank Parker.

But despite (or perhaps because of) thisextreme pressure, HYPO and the commandstation in Washington D.C. delivered in finefashion. By late May 1942, the teams hadcracked enough of the code to understand

the gambit being developed to flush Amer-ican ships out of the protection of PearlHarbor, and by doing so allowed Adm.Chester Nimitz to set a trap of his own. Al-though credit is due to Nimitz for taking agamble and winning, because of the workat HYPO and the rest of Naval Intelligence,it was an educated gamble that led to theUnited States winning the war.

“It was miraculous; our intelligence pre-dicted the time of the planned attack, thedistance and location of the Japanese,” saidCapt. John Crawford, a Midway veteran."Our intelligence had solved the problem.I was happy as a clam."

heroism as Commanding Officer of USSSigsbee (DD 502) from May 1944 to October1945. In the spring of 1945, Sigsbee assisted inthe destruction of 20 enemy planes whilescreening a carrier strike force off the Japaneseisland of Kyushu.

On April 14, 1945, while on radar picketstation off Okinawa, a kamikaze crashedinto Sigsbee, reducing her starboard engineto five knots and knocking out the ship'sport engine and steering control. Despitethe damage, Chung-Hoon, then a Com-mander, valiantly kept his anti-aircraft bat-teries delivering "prolonged and effectivefire" against the continuing enemy air at-tack while simultaneously directing thedamage control efforts that allowed Sigsbeeto make port under her own power.

After retiring from the Navy in 1959,Rear Adm. Chung-Hoon was appointed byWilliam Quinn, Hawaii’s first elected gover-

nor since statehood, to serve as director ofthe state Department of Agriculture. RearAdm. Chung-Hoon died in July 1979.

Chung-Hoon's legacy continues on to-day with the USS Chung Hoon (DDG 93),an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer that hasbeen serving the Navy since its commissionin September 2004. She was sponsored byMichelle Punana Chung-Hoon of Honolu-lu, Hawaii, Chung-Hoon's niece. In 2005the vessel answered a distress call from afreighter, providing medical assistance un-til Coast Guard support arrived. It is cur-rently deployed in the western Pacific re-gion and has been since 2011.

One of the major strengths of the U.S.Navy is its penchant to utilize diversity. Byallowing for and ultimately embracing thevarious types of people available to its serv-ice, the Navy establishes and continues aproud tradition, and Pacific Islanders andAsian Americans certainly do that traditionjustice.

Roosevelt’s Lost Alliances:How Personal Politics HelpedStart the Cold War by FrankCostigliola. Published by Prince-ton University Press, New Jersey.544 pages, 2012.

University of Connecticuthistorian Frank Costigliolapushes readers to consider thatthe Cold War was not inevitablebut the result of fate, psycholo-gy, and personalities of a myri-ad of individuals from the “BigThree” of Churchill, Roosevelt,and Stalin, to their advisors.The book argues that hadFranklin Roosevelt (FDR) sur-vived beyond 1945, the trajec-tory of events leading to theCold War would have turnedout differently. This volume isinteresting as it provokes us toreassess the conclusion ofWorld War II and the evolutionof the Cold War.

It looks at history from thelens of personality, ideology,emotion, and culture. Accord-ing to the book President Roo-sevelt’s background providedhim an emotional belief thatpostwar cooperation was nec-essary and felt that Russia’s de-sire to avoid another Germaninvasion, this along with theatomic bomb and economicaid could be used to balanceand shape the Soviets towardsthe interests of the UnitedStates and the western alliance.

FDR died before the seeingthe atomic bomb detonated inNew Mexico, and did not live tosee how America’s economicpower would be shaped into

the Marshall Plan. Churchillwanted to sustain what re-mained of the British Empire,and feared concessions to an-other dictator, Joseph Stalin.President Harry Truman, whosucceeded FDR in 1945, be-lieved the Yankee know-howcould not be matched by theRussians and they could neverachieve an atomic bomb, thisdespite contrary advice fromhis scientists, advisors, andcabinet. Truman’s experiencesled him to conclude that secu-rity lay not in striking a “BigThree” deal but staying aheadof the atomic arms race, ac-cording to the author.

The book discusses the ad-visors surrounding World War IIallied leaders such as FDR’sHarry Hopkins, who lived in theWhite House, and worked tire-lessly shuttling between Lon-don and Moscow. There is acritical examination of GeorgeKennan’s “Long Telegram,” thatwould shape ideas on how theUnited States was to deal withthe Soviets. The attitude andinfluence of women on theseleaders are discussed; you will

get a more intimate look atChurchill, Roosevelt, and Stalinfrom the viewpoint of theirwives, their various and diverseneeds for affection, and muchmore.

Of course one can take an-other argument that FDR’shealth coupled with the deathof those closest to him likeHopkins, and Marguerite “Mis-sy” LeHand, would shape FDRon the eve of the Yalta Confer-ence. In addition, while the au-thor is harsh on Truman’s per-sonality, there does not seem tobe an acknowledgement of So-viet post-World War II moves,such as a desire to keep forcesin Iran, the destabilization ofGreece, Italy, and Turkey as wellas China going towards theCommunist camp in 1949, andfinally the Korean War thatdrove American thinking to-wards the Soviets.

This book however isthought-provoking and recom-mended for those with an in-terest in World War II, interac-tions between nations, andhow grand strategic decisionsare formulated from the inse-curities and hubris of the lead-ers that make them.

Roosevelt’s Lost Alliances: How PersonalPolitics Helped Start the Cold War

Book review

By MC3 Class Andrea Perez,Navy Personnel CommandPublic Affairs

With the high cost of the summervacation season right around thecorner, Consumer Financial Protec-tion Bureau (CFPB) leaders remindSailors to be wary of predatory lend-ing practices.

According to Holly Petraeus, as-sistant director of the CFPB Office ofService Member Affairs, the numberof service members affected bypredatory lending acts is hard tomeasure.

"It can be embarrassing to go andtell somebody that you got rippedoff," said Petraeus. "It's so commonfor Sailors to walk into [a financialcounselor] with significant financialproblems that unfortunately havegotten really severe by the time theywalk in and ask to see a counselor."

Predatory loans are usually small,short-term arrangements designedto bridge cash-strapped borrowersuntil their next paycheck. However,

they are expensive, high-interestloans that often cost $10 to $44 dol-lars per week per $100 dollars bor-rowed, plus fees. If a loan is not paidat the original payment due date androlled-overmultipletimes, itcanleadto a situation where most Sailorscannot pay off the loan.

Financial difficulties can threatena service member's security clear-ance and career. Petraeus said ad-dressing financial issues openly canwork to a Sailor's advantage.

Petraeus recently met with Mid-South and Navy Personnel Com-mand(NPC)leadershipandspoketoSailors about how to make informedconsumer decisions.

She discussed the Military Lend-ingAct,whichprovidessomeprotec-tion for active-duty service mem-bers, active National Guard or Re-serve personnel, and their depend-ents against the type of predatoryloans that are commonly found out-side the gates of bases.

Petraeus said service membersmay appeal to predatory lenders be-cause they have a guaranteed source

of income."The Military Lending Act caps

paydayloans,autotitle loans,andtaxrefund anticipation loans to militaryon active duty and their dependentsat an annual rate of 36 percent," saidPetraeus. "That sounds high, I know,but the average payday loan is actu-ally about 390 percent."

The Military Lending Act definespayday loans as loans of closed-endcredit, 91 days or less, and less than$2,000 dollars. It defines auto titleloans as loans of closed-end creditthat are 181 days or less.

"The problem...is that somefolks have just changed the defini-tion of their product enough to getoutside of that law," said Petraeus."So you'll see some sites online ad-vertising that type of loan that willsay right on there, 'we're not subjectto the Military Lending Act becauseour loan is for more than 90 days.'"

Sailors experiencing financialchallenges should notify their chainof command and work with theircommand financial specialist (CFS)

to develop a budget and explore ad-ditional options such as military re-lief societies, eligibility for interestrate reductions and other relief.

A group of kids were shown photosdepicting obviously unsafe behavior,such as a car driving with an extensionladder sticking out the window. Then,the kiddy focus group was asked whatcould go wrong.

"If you stopped the guy could go fly-ing through the air and he would sayweee!" noted Autumn, 7.

"He could fall off and get run overand die," suggested Emma, who main-tained the worst-case-scenario track forthe duration of the presentation.

Joint Base Andrews members participated in “ExerciseSisyphus” on April 26, the largest Major Accident Response Ex-ercise (MARE) held in the National Capital Region.

Andrews personnel and first responders performed insymphony with the 79th Medical Wing, Walter Reed NationalMilitary Medical Center and 11 local area hospitals during theMARE.

The exercise was conducted base-wide and was designedto test several units currently on and off Andrews and theiremergency-response capability in the event of an aircraftmishap during the upcoming annual Joint Service OpenHouse and Air Show.

“This exercise is the largest that we have ever done withMaryland’s Region Five hospitals and the first time we’ve donethis exercise with Andrews,” said Regan Simmons, Joint TaskForce National Capital Region Medical (JTF CapMed) training

and exercise officer.The JTF CapMed, along with the Prince George’s County

Fire Department, Prince George’s County Police Departmentand Maryland’s Region Five hospitals were essential playersand communication links during the joint-partnership exer-cise with Andrews.

“We were brought into this exercise to be the link betweenAndrews and Maryland’s Region Five hospitals. We are thecivilian/military representation for the civilian and militaryhospitals,” said Simmons. “Our role was to provide exerciserole players with off-base hospitals. Andrews provided the busdrivers and the means to get them there. We couldn’t havebeen happier. In fact, we’re hoping that this will become anannual event, because this exercise supplied the Maryland’sRegion Five hospitals with mass casualty certifications, whichthey are required to do annually.”

As the scenario escalated a large contingency of 11thWingfirst responders rushed to the aid several simulated casualtiesscattered along the tarmac. Approximately 117 patients weretriaged and then transported via litter to the first aid station

for accountability and patient care assessment before beingout processed to surrounding local hospital facilities withinthe National Capital Region, to include Maryland’s Region Fivehospitals.

“During the exercise, my team and I waited for the Andrewsfire department to cordon off a simulated crash area andworked with medical flight medicine personnel to care forsimulated patients as they came out of the mock scene,” saidMaj. Martin Hartssema, 2012 Joint Service Open House deputymedical director.“Overall, I feel like we did really well.The pur-pose of every exercise is to evaluate the system and its effec-tiveness.We wanted to ensure that we have a solid medical re-sponse and this training allows us to better manage crowdcontrol and safety in the event that anything happens.”

Joint Base Andrews also approached the Prince George’sCounty Office of Emergency Management (OME) to partici-pate in the joint exercise.

“It was the first time in several years that we were actuallyinvolved in the exercise piece, although we always help out atthe air show at Andrews,” said Jerome LaMoria, PrinceGeorge’s County OME training and exercise coordinator.“Thisyear, we were able to integrate into the exercise, which includ-ed public safety partners such as our fire and police depart-ment, along with our public safety communications person-nel. This exercise was also a great opportunity for us to reallylook at how an incident on Andrews would spill to require offbase support. This exercise definitely tested our relationshipand roles with Andrews in regards to emergency management.This exercise allowed us to get a head start on being able tohandle those types of issues.”According to Randolph Sena, 11thWing chief of exercises andinspections, the scenario was designed to exercise the emer-gency response capabilities that Andrews will deploy duringthe upcoming 2012 Joint Service Open House.“I’m pleased that the exercise provided an opportunity formore than 15 federal, state and local agencies to exerciseemergency-response capabilities.These exercises test the abil-ity of all those involved to transport and treat a large numberof patients,” said Sena. “The interoperability between all of usto work together as one unified team across the NCR demon-strates our capability to respond to any scenario beyond theduel-aircraft crash we exercised here. It is exercises like thisone that keep all of us ready and our communities safe.”
