Going on a convoy mission is something most Soldierswill experience when deployed to Iraq or Aghanistan. Tis isespecially true or transportation units, which are expected to moveequipment, supplies and even troops all over their respective areaso operation.

Tat is why Soldiers rom 302nd Brigade Support Battalionconducted combat logistics training at USAG-Casey.

Te training consisted o multiple scenarios in which the Soldiers'convoy was attacked in dierent ways, at dierent places, all whileSoldiers carried on the mission to completion.

We trained on what to do when our vehicles get ambushed,

MEDEVACS (Medical Evacuations) and how to respond toimprovised explosives devices, said Pc. William Graham, a motortransport operator, Company A., 302nd BSB.

Realism is important to any type o training as Soldiers need tobe prepared to deal with the worst case scenarios when deployed.

Tis exercise is an overview o how it is in Iraq, said Sta Sgt.urhan Walker, a motor transport operator, Co. A.

Some o the newer Soldiers don't know what it's like so we haveexperienced non-commissioned ocers overseeing the training trying to make it as realisticas possible."

Te training is especially important to these Soldiers because 302nd BSB supplies theentire 1st Heavy Brigade Combat eam with necessary equipment to continue to ght.

We supply everybody with ammo, water and uel, so it is very important that Soldierstake in as much o the training as possible, Walker said.

Although other units have dierent ways o handling certain situations and training,teaching Soldiers the basics will help them when they go to new units.

Tis training will help them acquire good undamentals and have a steady base,which is important. So when they go to their next unit, they will have something tobuild on, said Walker.

Te skills that are learned through the training exercise will hopeully enable Soldiersto respond quickly in a dangerous situation and help them get through it saely.

Even though were support unit, that doesn't mean we're not in the ght, Walkersaid. raining like this is what will help you in battleeld situations, so that you andyour buddies can come home sae.

By Jim Cunningham

USAG-RC Public Affairs

USAG-RED CLOUD Supervisorsand nonsupervisors gained extra knowledgeo prevention o sexual harassment duringtraining held Jan. 16 by the USAG-Red CloudEqual Employment Opportunity oce. Tetraining began with an understanding o theprinciple o equal employment opportunitybeing one, which asserts all people shouldhave the right to work and advance basedon merit and ability, regardless o race, color,religion, sex, age, national origin, disabilitystatus, and without reprisal. Tese notionso equal employment do not come withoutregulatory guidance. Te 29 Code o FederalRegulations 1614, Army Regulation 690-600, and EEOC Management Directive110 map the guidance or managing EEOcomplaints.

Legal statutes range rom the years 1964to as late as 2002. itle VII o the CivilRights Act o 1964, which was amended bythe EEO Act o 1972 dealing with race, color,religion, sex or national origin, extendedcoverage to all state and local governments,governmental agencies, and political sub-divisions, except or elected ocials, theirpersonal assistants and immediate advisors.Te Equal Pay Act o 1963, which dealt

with sex-based wage, makes it illegal to base wages dierently according to the sex othe employee. Te Age Discrimination inEmployment Act o 1967 makes it illegalto discriminate by age i the employee is 40plus years o age, said Rose Aguigui, USAG-

RC Equal Employment Opportunityoicer and conductor o the brieing.Te Rehabilitation Act o 1973, Sections501, 502, 504, and 508 regard ederalgovernment employees. American withDisabilities Act o 1990 itles I and V deal

with private sector employees, state and localgovernment employees. Te Civil Rights

Act o 1991 amends the Civil Rights Act o1964 to strengthen and improve Federal civilrights laws, to provide or damages in caseso intentional employment discrimination,to clariy provisions regarding disparateimpact actions, and or other purposes.he Notiication and Federal Employee

Anti-discrimination and Retaliation Act

o 2002, popularly known as the NoFEARAct, requires ederal agencies be accountableor violations o anti-discrimination and

whistle-blower protection laws and postquarterly on its public web site certainstatistical data relating to ederal sectorequal employment opportunity complaintsfled with such agency. All U.S. applicants,current and ormer employees, certaincontract employees may take advantage othe EEO complaint process, Aguigui said.

Tere are eight basis or fling an EEOcomplaint:

Race Color Sex (gender)

Age (40+) Religion National Origin Disability (physical or mental) Reprisal for Title VII ActivityPersons aggrieved must identiy an issue

relating to one o the above terms, conditionor beneft o employment, Aguigui said.

When an individual initiates an EEO

complaint they should identiy an issuerelating to a term, condition, or benefto employment along with the reason orbasis or discrimination. Te complainantmust fle within 45 calendar days, thenater processing procedures the averageprocessing time is rom two to three years.Te cost to the government or complaintscan be as much as $80 thousand dollars.Te legal maximum or damages awarded acomplainant is $300 thousand.

Unresolved inormal complaints willhave a inal interview; the complainant

will receive a notice o right to fle a ormalcomplaint with which he or she will have 15calendar days to fle a ormal complaint.

Te EEO ocer has 15 calendar days toaccept or dismiss the complaint, Aguiguisaid. Te common causes or dismissal oa claim are:

Failure to state a claim

Untimely contact with EEO ocial Untimely ling of formal complaint Filing civil action for the same claim Appealed to the Merit Systems

Protection Board Complainant alleges a preliminary step

(proposed adverse action)Tere is an alternative to this procedure;

however, it is the alternative dispute resolutionoption. At any phase o the complaintprocess, ADR can be oered as an alternativeto traditional EEO administrative process.For the Army, mediation is preerred becausethe primary goal is to resolve complaints atthe lowest possible level, Aguigui said.

I a complaint is appropriate or mediation,

the oer is frst presented to management.I it is accepted by management, the oero mediation is made to the complainant.Mediation is ocused on issues, not people orpersonalities or aults, current employmentissues, not issues rom the past, Aguiguisaid. I mutual interests are understoodand all other actors are met, then an earlyresolution may occur.

Negotiated settlement agreements arebinding, enorceable contracts. Tey defneterms agreed upon by disputing partiesand the terms are confdential. Tere is noault pointed out and the agreement closesthe complaint unless the aggrieved partyarticulates noncompliance, Aguigui said.

Te Prevention o Sexual Harassmentbriefng had three objectives: to understand

what constitutes sexual harassment, toidentiy the costs o sexual harassment or ahostile work environment, and to recognizeand accept ones role and responsibilities inregard to sexual harassment, Aguigui said.

Supervisors are held to a higherstandard, Aguigui said. Tey have thatresponsibility. Army policy says sexualharassment is unacceptable conduct and it

will not be tolerated.Sexual harassment destroys teamwork

and negatively aects organizationalreadiness, Aguigui said. Sexual harassmentis when unwelcome sexual advances, requests

or sexual avors, or conduct o a sexualnature creates a hostile work environmentor intereres with an individuals ability toperorm his or her job.

Quid pro-quo or this-or-that typeso advances o a sexual nature, which aremade a term or condition o continuedemployment are also a orm o sexualharassment, Aguigui said.

Ingredients or a hostile work environmentinclude: verbal, nonverbal or physicalgestures that are sexual in nature, which areunwanted and unwelcome and unreasonablyintereres with an individuals workperormance, and creates an intimidating,hostile, or oensive working environment.Te harassment does not necessarily haveto be sexual in nature, Aguigui said. Also,

we consider actions threatening in nature,which cause a hostile work environment.

Sex discrimination is any practice orpolicy, which results in dierential treatmento an individual because o his or her gender,

Aguigui said. Te exception to this is whenthe job calls or an occupational qualifcation

when gender is necessary or authenticityor normal operation o the job. Most othese jobs have to do with transportation,security and law enorcement when emalesand males are required to perorm duties

requiring search o persons.Other benchmarks o sexual harassment

are sex role static, stereotypes, and sex rolestereotypes. Sex role static is unthinking,undirected, everyday taken-or-grantedremarks and actions based on genderstereotypes.

Te danger o stereotyping is insteado reacting naturally in a situation, theindividual reacts or behaves according tothe stereotype, Aguigui said.

Sex role stereotypes: men are traditionallythought to be aggressive, independent, andunemotional simply because they are men.

Women are thought to be non aggressive,

dependent, and emotional simply becausethey are women, Aguigui said.

We fnd there are more reprisal issueswhen it deals with an employee and theirfrst or second line supervisor, Aguiguisaid. Tey know the employee has come toour oce or advice. When they return totheir oce they fnd they are being treateddierently, i.e. their work space moved orsome other action. We tell supervisors theycannot take any action against an employeein reprisal.

Te EEO oce is motivated by Code29 o Federal Regulations 1614, ArmyRegulation 690-600, and ManagementDirective 110.

Tese are the principles behind EEO, Aguigui said. Tese are bibles or EEO;the Management Directive 110 comesrom the Equal Employment OpportunityCommission. Tey are the watchdogs or

the Federal and Civilian sectors.All o this comes together in teamwork to

USAG-RC Public Affairs

USAG-RED CLOUD KoreanAugmentation to the United States Armysoldiers gathered in USAG-Red Cloudstheater Jan. 14 to hear a special lecturerom Dr. Park, Jong Duck o the NationalInstitute or Korean Language.

Park came at the invitation o theRepublic o Korea army as part o their

weekly meetings where KAUSAs are givenbriefngs on the status o the situation withNorth Korea and other subjects dealing

with the political situation between the twoKoreas. Subjects brieed in such meetingscan range between national pride to better

knowing their enemy. Tis briefng dealt

with the origins o the Korean language.

Koreans have been mistakenly taughttheir language originated in middle Asia,Park said. Ater many years o research andstudy, we know this notion is wrong.

Park continued to explain how theKorean language came about within theboundaries o modern day Korea. Earlyhistorical records point out two groups olanguages were spoken in Manchuria andthe Korean Peninsula beore the 7th century.During the middle o the 7th century, thekingdom o Shilla unifed the peninsulaand its language became dominant. Duringthe 10th century, the Koryo Dynasty wasounded and the capital was relocated toKaesong in the center o the peninsula. From

that time on, the dialect o Kaesong became

the standard national language.

Te script, generally called Han-gul, isbasically an invented language, inventedby the ourth king o the Choson Dynasty,Sejong (1418-1450). It was then calledHunmin Chong-um, which means propersounds to instruct the people. Te script;however, did not appear until 1446 whenHunmin Chong-um appeared in a writtendocument. Te reason or the inventiono the Korean script, according to KingSejong, was to enable the Korean people to

write their own language without the use oChinese characters. A second motivation orthe script was to represent the proper soundassociated with each character.

When King Sejong and his scholars

attempted to invent a Korean writing

system, scholars believe he probably looked

to several writing systems already known tothem, such as Chinese old seal characters,the Uighur script and the Mongolian scripts.Te system, or which he settled; however,is predominantly based on phonology, orhow syllables and words are pronounced,Park explained.

Tis system made the Korean alphabetone o the easiest and most scientifc in the

world, Park said.Pvt. Kim, Hyun Soo, Headquarters,

Headquarters Company, USAG-RC wasimpressed with the new inormation.

I was very impressed with the briefngtoday, Kim said. It was not only insightul,interesting, and instructive, it also gave me

a sense o national pride.

YONGSAN GARRISON American and Korean

Soldiers and Civilian Employees throughout the Yongsanarea participated in the 14th semiannual New Horizonstraining program Jan. 15.

New Horizons is a Korea-wide assembly designed toprovide a review o saety issues, cultural awareness, andconduct and responsibility.

Te Army Family requires a proactive saety culture or ourSoldiers and Civilians, Juan Vazquez, U.S. Army Garrison-

Yongsan acting saety manager said during a brie at the ReligiousRetreat Center. We must have a saety mindset at all times andintegrate composite risk management 24 hours a day.

Due to the season, winter saety was a primary ocus. Teagenda consisted o driving in poor weather conditions, carbonmonoxide poisoning prevention, cold weather injuries and drinkingand driving, which went in accordance with an increase in drivingunder the inuence incidents on Yongsan late last year.

Other local occurrences discussed were two pedestrian atalitiesand motor vehicle accidents in recent months.

Never give saety a day o, Vazquez said, citing acommon slogan. Use risk management to help weigh thebenets and costs o each risk, and plan ahead and makechoices that prevent mishaps.

Hundreds more Soldiers and Civilians gathered at theMultipurpose raining Facility or a day o presentations anddiscussions about various issues. While saety took centerstage, topics o proessionalism, ethics and cultural awareness

were also a large part o the orum.I want to reinorce the behavior we need to demonstrate

to be ready to ght tonight and beginning your proud legacy

o service here in the Republic o Korea, Lt. Gen. JosephF. Fil Jr., 8th U.S. Army commander, said in his televisedaddress to all military personnel on the peninsula.

Soldiers are never o duty. Know the standards, livethem and enorce them, he said. KAUSAs and Koreanservicemembers remain critical members o the United

States Army team. Tey bridge multiple gaps - cultural,logistical and operational. Fil urged troops to absorb localresources to take in the Korean language and culture ormaximized cohesion and sel enlightenment.

to be extra vigilant about trafc saety. I youreplanning to travel, expect heavy trafc andlong delays. ravel time on the expresswaysand highways will take as much as three timeslonger than normal travel times.

Unortunately, last year, there were morethan 1,500 reported trafc accidents, 56atalities, and 3,015 total injuries during this

Sadly, alcohol is one o the actors in theseaccidents. With any holiday comes celebrations

and with many celebrations comes an increasein the consumption o alcohol. Tis obviouslyincreases the number o intoxicated drivers onthe roadways.

I will nottolerate those persons under my command

who choose to drink and drive, and neithershould you.In addition to military trafc, I encourage

you to minimize all noncritical drivingnext weekend. I encourage all our Soldiers,Civilians and Family Members to experiencethe wonderul places and events, the people,

Besides ueling an undergroundcriminal economy, the Internet isincreasingly being exploited by terroristsand spies, the FBIs top cyber experts saidat a recent international conerence oncyber security.

For about $30, one o our undercoveragents explained, cyber crooks anywherein the world can buy a blank credit card,complete with the holographic securitymarkings used by legitimate credit cardcompanies. Tey can buy equipmentto encode someones stolen identity

inormation onto the card. And they canbuy sotware to veriy that the unsuspectingvictims credit is good, so that anyone usingthe phony card will not raise suspicions atthe checkout counter.

Te sophistication o our adversariesis growing, Shawn Henry, head oour Cyber Division, told about 400participants rom 37 countries at therst International Conerence on CyberSecurity. Te conerence was held last weekat Fordham University in New York Cityand was sponsored by the university andour New York Oce, bringing togetherour cyber experts and their internationalcounterparts rom law enorcement,industry, government, and academia.

Combating Cyber Crime becomes difcultas criminals become more sophisticated

Te three-day event, which eatured avariety o speakers and panel discussions,

was organized to nd global solutions toemerging cyber threats. Te FBIs goal o

sponsoring this conerence is to build andorge long-lasting relationships to combatterrorist and criminal use o the Internet,said Joseph Demarest, who heads ourNew York Oce. Te conerence is thebeginning o greater cooperation on allcyber matters. Te key to ghting cybercrime, conerence participants agreed, isthrough international cooperation.

A good example o that cooperation istodays international 24/7 network o cyberinvestigators. Te network, establishedamong the G8 nations in 1997, has sincegrown to 55 member countries, all o whichhave dedicated cyber crime investigators

who can respond to ast-moving cases at amoments noticeoten with the ability toast reeze e-mail trac and other storedelectronic data, which can preserve a crooksotherwise eeting digital ootprint.

Heres a hypothetical example o howthe network operates: A cyber crook hacksinto a bank in Mexico City. Mexicaninvestigators trace the computer used inthe attack to New York City, and quicklycontact FBI agents, who discover thatthe New York computer is linked to acomputer South Korea. Tey alert Koreanagents, who learn that the attack originatedin Bangkok. Tai agents make the arrest.Tanks to the network, the investigativeprocess may take hours or days instead o

weeks or months.

Command sponsored beneciaries must complete a Primeenrollment orm to continue OP Prime coverage past the rst120 days. On the 121st day and after, if your child isn't enrolled inOP Prime, RICARE processes all uture claims under Standard

automatically revert to TRICARE Standard after the initial 120days. RICARE Overseas Prime is not available to retirees and theirfamily members.
