The Navywide HURREX/Citadel Gale2012 exercise is coming to a close the endof this week and has provided Naval Dis-trict Washington (NDW) an excellent op-portunity to test its destructive weatherpreparation and response procedures.

HURREX is the culmination of theNavy's annual battery of tests to ensure thatSailors and emergency managers are pre-pared for destructive weather scenarios.Although there is some attention paid towinter storms, the hurricane season, whichlasts from June through November, is ofparticular concern to Navy commands, andfor good reason.

Over the last two centuries, tropical cy-clones have claimed the lives of approxi-mately 1.9 million people. The UnitedStates has had its own costly reminders ofthe strength of hurricanes, notably in 2005with the storm surge of Hurricane Katrina,which killed nearly two-thousand andcaused 108 billion dollars worth of damage,the costliest storm in American history.

"From past experience, we know the

damage that [natural disasters] can cause,"said Timothy Stoessel with Training andReadiness (N7). "All you have to do is lookat the flood of the Naval Academy [duringHurricane Isabel in 2003] to realize the kindof damage 'All-Hazards' can inflict".

HURREX/Citadel Gale is conductedwith a particular focus on Tropical CycloneConditions of Readiness (COR). The readi-ness conditions help frame the preparationeffort for a hurricane in terms of times untilthe threat presents itself. There are fiveCORs, starting with COR V, which statesthat destructive winds (of 50 knots orgreater) are possible within four days (96hours). The CORs then descend from IV at72 hours, III at 48 hours, II at 24 hours, to fi-nally COR I when possibly damaging windsare going to be present within 12 hours.

HURREX is an annual exercise whichconsists of all Navy commands in someway preparing for a simulated storm sys-tem to pass through NDW's Area of Opera-tions (AO), threatening NDW installations,as well as the Caribbean Islands, East Coastand Gulf Coast regions. This year's partic-ular storm system, named "Zeus", was atropical storm that hit NDW Tuesday morn-ing.

Some of the simulated damages that Re-gional Operations Center (ROC) personnelhad to respond to was a fire at Naval Sup-port Activity (NSA) Bethesda, massive

flooding at Naval Support Activity Washing-ton's (NSAW) Naval Support Facility Carde-

The fourth and final message for the month of April to thosein the Navy family is a resounding warning: 'We will NotTolerateSexual Assault'.

Sexual assault is a blight on the United States' armed forces,with a crime occurring three times a day in the Navy alone. How-ever, the Navy is also on the forefront of proactive steps to elim-inate sexual assault from the ranks for good, and Sexual AssaultAwareness Month (SAAM) provides opportunities for all handsto learn about the risks and impact that sexual assault can bring

From New Orleans Navy WeekJoint Information Center

NEW ORLEANS (NNS) -- The people of New Orleans andvisitors to the city will be able to tour 11 ships from six na-tions that arrived in New Orleans April 17, to participate inthe War of 1812 Bicentennial Commemoration and "StarSpangled Banner" Navy Week 2012.

The ships moored at several piers along the east bankinclude the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the destroy-er USS Mitscher and frigate USS De Wert. FS Germinal fromFrance, HMS Montrose from Great Britain and HMCS St.John's from Canada make up the international naval con-tingent, along with the tall ships Dewaruci from Indonesiaand BAE Guayas from Ecuador.

"This opportunity to visit the historic city of New Or-leans for the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of1812 is a once in a lifetime experience for Wasp and thecrew," said Capt. Gary M. Boardman, USS Wasp's com-manding officer. "Wasp is a first-rate command, and Icouldn't be more proud of my ship and crew to be selectedfor such an event."

The commemoration in New Orleans is an opportunityfor Sailors and Marines to engage the American public toincrease awareness and knowledge of the Navy, MarineCorps and Coast Guard, and the vital role these servicesplay in defense of the nation and the projection of the mar-itime power and security.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for our Sailors andMarines to tell their story, and the story of the sea services,"said Boardman. "I would like my Sailors to reflect back onwhat we as a Navy accomplished back in 1812 and look athow far we have come."

"I'm very excited and honored to be able to experiencemy first Navy Week in New Orleans," said Electronics Tech-nician 3rd Class Justin Kesterson. "I'm not quite sure whatto expect, but I'm signed up for a few tours and ready to getout and see the city."

Service members from the United States will compete inathletic events such as soccer, softball, basketball and tug-of-war with sailors from Ecuador, Indonesia, France, Cana-da, and Great Britain.

Two hundred years ago, the United States was a sparselypopulated, newly independent country fighting in a war

with Great Britain - the worlds largest Empire - over landand maritime superiority. The War of 1812 brought forthmany heroic acts on land and at sea in defense of our free-dom and national sovereignty.

Other events throughout the week include a seafoodcook-off competition featuring local celebrity chefs teamedwith military culinary specialists Friday afternoon at Wold-enberg Park. The week will culminate in an air show overLake Pontchartrain on Saturday and Sunday, featuring theU.S. Navy Blue Angels. A complete schedule of tours andother events open free to the public can be found atnolanavyweek.com, including tickets to Friday night's Warof 1812 Gala at the National World War II Museum.

Nearly a dozen community projects have been identi-fied and many of these visitors will be lending a hand dur-ing the port visit.

"I'm looking forward to helping those who need assis-tance," said Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Charles R. Thorp,from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. "That is what themilitary is all about, it's not about helping yourself, but giv-ing back to people that need your help."

Visitors from the ships as well as Navy Seabees fromGulfport, Miss., will roll up their sleeves and plant treesalong Lake Pontchartrain, build a house with Habitat forHumanity and visit children in local hospitals.

The six-day celebration of the sea services honors themen and women of the military through public events andrecognition, and also provides an opportunity to showcasethe capabilities of surface platforms, equipment and theskills of the men and women serving aboard these vessels.Ships will be open for public visits throughout the week.

Commemorative events are scheduled to continuealong the East Coast and Great Lakes over the next threeyears in 14 cities, culminating in New Orleans in January2015, the bicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans. In 1815,a mostly volunteer army led by future president AndrewJackson defeated a much larger British force at Chalmette,securing the Mississippi River and the entire Louisiana Pur-chase. U.S. Navy Sailors and U.S. Marines were among thedefenders, and Navy cannon contributed to the firepowerthat devastated 10,000 crack British troops.

NSA Washington-JBAB Fleet Family and Fun

By Karen Parrish,American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, April 19, 2012 – “Todaywe pause to remember and honor 6 millionsouls who were murdered not because ofanything they had done, but because ofwho they were,” Defense Secretary Leon E.Panetta said during a Holocaust Remem-brance Day program at the Pentagon today.

Holocaust Remembrance Day, a U.S.observance that joins with other worldwideevents, honors the 6 million Jewish peoplewho died, in Europe during World War II,many of them in Nazi death camps.

The secretary said he helped to establishYom Hashoah --Holocaust RemembranceDay –as a U.S. observance while serving inthe House of Representatives in 1980. It’salso an occasion to remember survivors ofthe Holocaust, he noted.

“They bore witness to evil and totragedy,” he said, “and in their strength weall find inspiration – inspiration to fightagainst the intolerance and indifferencethat allowed all of this to happen.”

Charlotte Schiff, guest speaker for to-day’s program, is the sole member of herfamily who survived the Holocaust. The

secretary said Schiff has dedicated her lifeto making sure those who perished in theHolocaust are never forgotten.

“It is our honor to affirm to you that wewill never stop fighting in the memory ofthose who perished – fighting for a betterfuture, [and] fighting for a world safe fromaggression, from tyranny and from injus-tice,” he told her at the Pentagon event.

Yom Hashoah also is a day to celebratethe Jewish people, “who overcame thistragedy and built a strong and vibrant Jew-ish state in Israel,” Panetta said.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak,who arrived at the Pentagon today for bilat-eral defense talks with Panetta, also attend-ed the Holocaust Remembrance Day event.Panetta said Barak, a highly decorated sol-dier, prime minister, and now minister ofdefense, has lived his life as a tribute to thememory of the Holocaust, and to the mem-ory of his two grandparents who were mur-dered at the Treblinka death camp in occu-pied Poland.

“Ehud, I am proud to be your partner,I’m proud to be your friend, and I’m proudto work with you in continuing to strength-en the U.S.-Israel defense relationship,” thesecretary said.

Panetta said today’s U.S. military was

forged in the fight against Nazi tyranny. “Todefeat Hitler,” he said, “we mobilized all ofthe strength that we could muster, and inthat effort we witnessed many of our finesthours as a military and, indeed, as a coun-try.”

Panetta said U.S. soldiers in World WarII served as witnesses to the atrocities of thedeath camps, and helped to nourish andcare for Holocaust survivors. He added thatone Army captain, Seymour Pomrenze,helped to ensure “enormous caches of loot-ed cultural materials” were returned totheir rightful heirs or Jewish successor or-ganizations.

“[Pomrenze] was a hero whose actionsembodied the professionalism and dedica-tion of the uniform he wore,” he added.

Panetta said that in spite of the goodAmerican and Allied forces did in WorldWar II, “we must always remember that wewere unable to save the 6 million Jews whoperished under Hitler’s cruel reign.” Thatburden, he added, must be carried forwardas a determination that no horror like theHolocaust ever happens again.

“Today we renew that commitment, andwe do so by coming together to bear wit-ness, just as our service members did morethan 65 years ago,” Panetta said.

Panetta honors Holocaust victims, survivors

As the month of April signifies Sexual As-sault Awareness Month (SAAM) across theDepartment of Defense, Team Andrewslearned not only ways to report and dealwith sexual violence, but ways to avoid it.

Several Team Andrews members attend-ed a free self-defense class at the West Fit-ness Center on April 13, where they learnedbasic defense moves from highly-trainedfighters.

Instructors Senior Master Sgt. ClaytonKlaver, 11th Security Forces superintendentof operations, and Jim Thrift, retired Navyand Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) professionaltrainer, taught participants techniques tohelp protect them from a sexual assault orlife-threatening situation, regardless of theirstature or skill set.

“I’ve never taken a self-defense class, butyou never know what kind of situation youcan find yourself in, so it’s nice to have sometools of the trade that you can use,” said Col.Gina Humble, 11th Operations Group com-mander, after successfully executing a tech-nique to free herself from an “attacker”.

The techniques shown to the men,women and children who attended the self-defense course ranged from Krav Maga, theofficial self-defense system of the Israeli De-fense Forces, combative defense moves, toMuay Thai, Jui Jitsu and basic self-defensetechniques.

The participants learned a variety ofmoves in a “demo-do” method with the goalof obtaining muscle-memory movement sothe acquired tactics could be executed withconfidence in an actual emergency.

The basic techniques included: beingaware of your surroundings; the most effec-tive body parts to hit, such as, the eyes, ears,nose, neck and knees; maximizing damageby using elbows, knees and head; as well asleveraging weight to get out of or defend

against common holds or attacks.“At the end of the day, our goal is to help

people feel confident that they can defendthemselves and go home to take care oftheir families,” said Thrift.

Both Klaver and Thrift expressed a greatdeal of gratitude for the opportunity to giveback to the military.

“The military has taught me so much,”said Thrift. “I’m glad that I can contribute tohelping keep military members safe by vol-unteering to instruct this class.”

General Norton A. Schwartz, Chief ofStaff of the Air Force, recently said sexual as-saults directly undermine the Air Force CoreValues, erodes the trust and confidenceupon which our institution is built, and di-minishes our mission readiness.

“I expect each member of our great AirForce to promote and ensure a culture thatdoes not tolerate sexual assault … not now,not ever,” Schwartz said.

rock and the Washington Navy Yard, and asewage overflow leak at NSAW. NSA An-napolis was also heavily impacted in thescenario, requiring the EOC responders tomuster buses and Meals, Ready to Eat(MREs) to assist in evacuation of Midship-men from the Naval Academy. A casualtywas simulated as well, as a body was dis-covered near the Display Ship Barry (DD933) prompting staff to contact NavalCriminal Investigative Services (NCIS).

Fleet and Family Readiness (FFR),played a large role in coordinating re-sponse to the damages, utilizing the NavyFamily Accountability and AssessmentSystem (NFAAS). According to KellyKurisko with FFR, updating data in NFAASis a semi-annual requirement for allSailors, and should be done as often aspossible.

"Communication with Navy families iscritical," said Kurisko. "Update informa-tion in NFAAS and keep battle books up todate."

With the exercise nearing completion,one might wonder what benefits the aver-age Sailor might see from an operation

such as HURREX. After all, the odds arepretty low of a hurricane dramatically af-fecting NDW's AO. According to Thomp-son Gerke with NDW Operations, however,even a slim chance is enough to ensurepreparation in a Navy that is ready for any-thing.

"For the average Sailor, individual andfamily emergency preparedness for de-structive weather is arguably the principalbenefit to be gained from the annual HUR-REX exercise," said Gerke. "Prudent stepstaken by all hands to be prepared for de-structive weather phenomena that our re-gion experiences greatly minimizes mis-sion degradation and the possibility of lossof life and damage to government and per-sonal property."

Galula in Algeria: Counter-InsurgencyPractice versus Theory by Gregor Math-ias. Translated by Neal Durando andForeword by David Ucko. Published byPraeger Press, Boulder, Colorado. 137pages, 2011.

As Algeria observes the 60th anniver-sary of its independence from Frenchcolonial rule this may be a good time toreflect on the impact this conflict has hadin the 21st century. Operation Iraqi Free-dom has led America’s military plannersto rediscover what went wrong and whatwent right with the tactics of the Frenchin Algeria.

French army officer David Galula ac-quired a reputation, specializing incounter-insurgency warfare beginningwith his service in a mountainous sectorof Algeria in 1956 to 1957 to witnessingChinese civil war as a military attaché, aswell as observing first hand communistinsurgencies in Greece and the Philip-pines. The U.S. Army Field Manual 3-24published in 2006 on Counter-insur-gency and designed to educate soldiersserving in Iraq cites Galula’s work.

Gregor Mathias works for the ServiceHistorique de la Defense, the equivalentof our own Secretary of Defense Office ofthe Historian, and he specializes in theAlgerian War. Neal Durando has done a

service by translating from French Math-ias’s book entitled “David Galula et lacontre-insurrection en Algerie,” pub-lished in 2010. It provides a slim andshort volume distilling the main lessonslearned from the rural campaigns in theAlgerian War on Independence.

Galula’s main focus is the population,by protecting and providing for a popu-lation you open venues by which an in-surgency can become vulnerable. An ef-fective tool was the Section Administra-tive Specialee (SAS); these were militaryteams living in Algeria’s villages con-structing schools, roads and medicalservices. The SAS presence so unnervedthe Armée de libération nationale (ALN)the military arm of the Algerian inde-pendence movement that SAS officerswere directly targeted.

A section discusses the importance ofmedia, perception and propaganda, and

how effective the Front de libération na-tionale (FLN) was in saturating the air-waves with anti-colonial propaganda. Ofnote, while the French colonization anddiscrimination policies in Algeria amongthe majority Muslim population was be-coming untenable, the FLN targetedmany Muslims deemed working for theFrench. It demonstrates the importanceof not isolating a population, and Galulahas much to say about the harkis, Mus-lim and Algeria troops serving alongsideFrench forces who understood the ter-

rain and social organization of villages inthe Algerian mountains.

Galula’s work focuses on the tactics ofthe Algerian War for Independence. Ifyou are completely unfamiliar with thisconflict, let me recommend reading Alis-tair Horne’s definitive book “A Savage Warof Peace: Algeria 1954-1962,” and youmay wish to watch the multi-part docu-mentary “The Algerian War,” originallyreleased in English in 1975 and re-re-leased many times, the last one being on2011 by then Military Heritage Institute.These will give you a tactical, opera-tional, and strategic view of the conflictthat led to the collapse of the FrenchFourth Republic and the ascendancy ofCharles De Gaulle into power as well asthe mutiny of French generals in Algeria.Finally, there is the famous and timeless1965 film by Gilo Pontecorvo “The Battleof Algiers,” You can take this book reviewcolumn to your base library and ask thelibrarian to acquire these items for youthrough inter-library loan.

Editor’s Note: CDR Aboul-Eneinteaches part-time at the National De-fense University and maintains a regularbook review column in NDW Waterline.He is author of a new book “Iraq in Tur-moil: Historical Perspectives of Dr Ali al-Wardi from the Ottomans to King Feisal,”published by Naval Institute Press.

about.SAAM in the Navy looks to break down the barriers around

talking about an admittedly uncomfortable topic by dis-cussing the issue around 4 themes: Hurts One, Affects All, Pre-vention is Everyone's Duty, and We Will Not Tolerate SexualAssault.

Sailors will attend educational standdowns throughout themonth, and a multitude of events will be taking place through-out NDW. This week's theme is 'We Will Not Tolerate SexualAssault', which is a battle cry against the heinous act. The Navy

has an absolute zero-tolerance policy towards sexual assault,which reminds offenders that they have no place here.

"Every Sailor should be saying: Sexual Assault, will not betolerated," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy(MCPON) Rick D. West. "Continue to make me proud anderadicate sexual assault from our ranks."

According to ChandraVickers, Deputy Equal EmploymentOfficer (EEO) for Naval District Washington (NDW), the closequarters required of military men and women makes it aprime demographic for "familiarity breeding contempt", butultimately [military members] will have to rely on their train-ing, which she says is key to stopping this problem.

SAAM is being recognized throughout the Navy, and NDWis no exception. Events included a Ribbon Tying at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling, in which Sailors and Airmen tied teal rib-

bons, the symbol adapted for sexual assault, to trees aroundthe base in order to increase awareness. The National CapitolRegion (NCR) as a whole also conducted a Sexual AssaultAwarenessWalk, also to increase awareness. Briefs have beenconducted at Anne Arundel Community College and the Na-tional Security Agency/Fort Meade.

"I am very encouraged by the sexual assault awarenessevents and training efforts that are going on throughout theNavy this month," said Rear Adm. Martha Herb, Director, Per-sonnel Readiness and Community Support. "We can no longerafford to be silent on this issue. I encourage all [Sailors] to joinin on the discussion."

By Bill Couch,Naval Facilities Engineering CommandMidwest Public Affairs

CRANE, Ind. (NNS) -- Representatives from the BostonNavy Yard assessed specially designated trees at Naval Sup-port Activity (NSA) Crane April 17 and 18 in preparation forthe next planned dry-docking repair of USS Constitution,the world's oldest commissioned warship afloat.

Foreman Dwight Demilt, ship restorer and Robert Mur-phy production manager, Naval History and Heritage Com-mand's Boston Detachment hiked to see several dozenwhite oak trees dispersed around the heavily forested63,000-acre base in southern Indiana to determine whichmight be suitable for repairing the unique warship.

"I'm very satisfied with the trees I've seen here," said De-milt, a former Navy machinery repairman who also sup-ported Constitution's last dry-docking repair availabilityfrom 1991 to 1995 at the 211-year old former Navy shipyard,

now part of Boston National Historical Park, which main-tains Constitution.

"We're eager to support you," said Cmdr. James Stewart,commanding officer of NSA Crane, to the visiting ship re-storers. "The ship is such a big deal, such an important partof the Navy's heritage, and Crane is very proud to have thistie to Constitution and the 200th anniversary of the War of1812."

Although the actual dry-docking and repair is plannedfor 2014 through 2018, now was the time to begin the longprocess of identifying suitable trees, harvesting, milling,shaping and finally installing them to match Old Ironsides'original white oak.

Trent Osmon, forestry program manager for Naval Fa-cilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Midwest's PublicWorks Department (PWD) Crane environmental division,believes the timing will be critical.

"We have a limited window each year to harvest timberhere because Crane's forest is also a home for the endan-

gered Indiana Bat," said Osmon, who manages the base's53,000 acres of forest. "In order to have the 70 or so trees cutand ready for repair work, we need to set things in motionnow."

Crane's forest, the largest contiguous forest under singleownership in Indiana, currently includes nearly 150 GPS-located mature white oaks set aside for future use by Con-stitution.

Crane's white oak trees will be used to replace deterio-rated hull planking and supporting structures called"knees" on Old Ironsides, said Murphy and Demilt, restor-ing the ship's hull with the same kind of wood used to buildthe ship in 1797.

Constitution earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" whileengaging British ships during the War of 1812. British sailorsobserved cannon balls bouncing off Constitution's hull andexclaimed her sides must have been made of iron.

Demilt explained that Constitution's resilience comesfrom a revolutionary design by ship builder JoshuaHumphreys, called "frame and space."

"The ship's hull was never penetrated by cannon fire be-cause it has an outer layer of white oak hull planking up toseven inches thick, on top of 12 inches of live oak frames,followed by an inner layer of white oak planking up to fiveinches thick," said Demilt. "And unlike the walls of a house,there are only two inches between pairs of live oak frame.That means there are essentially 24 inches of extremelystrong wood along the entire length of the hull."

For the upcoming repairs, most hull planks will be 30 to40 feet long and six inches thick, and must have no defects,making them not only unique to handle, but very difficultto find, according to Murphy.

"There's no market for sawn logs this long, except formaintaining the handful of wooden tall ships in the world,"said Murphy.

"It's really something to bring in craftsmen to work onsomething like this," said Demilt. "For the four years of thisrepair availability, we'll hopefully add 20 wood workers andship builders to our normal 25-person workforce. But mostwill have never even seen a 40-foot plank, much less workedwith one. There will be some on-the-job learning to dosomething like this."

Demilt explained that even after more than 200 years,around 12 percent of Constitution's wood is original.

"The keel, the bottom frames, and probably the bottom13 planks of the hull have never had to be replaced," hesaid.

According to Osmon's research, white oak trees at Cranewere first approved to be set aside in November 1973, fol-lowing work on Constitution with lumber purchased fromthe private sector, which proved to be very expensive, aswhite oak of that size is very valuable.

"White oak is one of the more sought-after timberspecies for its attractive grain and color, and is mainly usednowadays for veneers," said PWD Crane forester RhettSteele.

A grove of trees at Crane was officially named "Consti-tution Grove" May 8, 1976, during the United States' bicen-tennial. This small ceremonial area of trees includes a fewwhite oaks and provides visitors a representation of thebase's widely dispersed inventory of the species.

Osmon said that Crane and NAVFAC have continued tosupport the ship over the years, including for its bicenten-nial.

"In preparation for the ship's 200th birthday in 1997, theship was brought into dry dock for repairs in 1991," said Os-mon. "When they brought her up, she was in need of morework than originally thought, so Crane was contacted to seeif any timber could be provided. The trees set aside in theConstitution oak groves, originally intended for use in 2013at the earliest, had not yet reached their full potential, sothen-forester Terry Hobson located all the suitable whiteoak trees scattered throughout the base and chose the verybest to send. The first trees were sent to Boston in Decem-ber of 1991, and by November of 1994, 78 had been sent."

Osmon was pleased with how the visit went."I was a little nervous leading up to this visit," said Os-

mon. "I was hoping these trees, which we're very proud of,would meet Constitution's requirements. But now I feelgreat knowing we'll be supporting something that's so im-portant to the Navy and, in a larger sense, the country. Com-ing during the bicentennial of the War of 1812 makes thiseven more special."
