By Staff Sgt. Alexander Burnett7TH SUSTAINMENT BRIGADE PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th Sustain-ment Brigade, hosted a change-of-command andchange-of-responsibility ceremony at 3rd Port onFort Eustis July 20.

“This is a look at the future of the Army,” said Col.Lawrence Kominiak, the 7th Sus. Bde. commander.“Command teams are coming into battalion posi-tions together, and leaving together.”

Lt. Col. Megan Gumpf took command, and Com-mand Sgt. Maj. Scott Reed assumed responsibilityof the 10th Trans. Bn. Gumpf comes to Fort Eustisfrom Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and Reed from FortHood, Texas.

“We are both very excited and ready to takecharge of this amazing group of Soldiers,” saidGumpf. “We want to thank all the Soldiers whocame out for the ceremony today, making it so spe-cial for both of us… This is ‘Waterborne’ Six andSeven signing on the net.”

The ‘Waterborne’ battalion bid farewell to Lt.Col. Kenneth Williams and 1st Sgt. Compton John-son, the 10th Trans. Bn. commander and commandsergeant major, respectively. During the ceremo-ny, Williams was awarded the Meritorious ServiceMedal for his exemplary command of the battalion.Johnson, an ordnance Soldier by trade, was induct-ed into the Honorable Order of Saint Christopher,making him an honorary transportation non-com-missioned officer.

“This officer- and non-commissioned-officer teamhas done an outstanding job leading this battalion,”said Kominiak. “I really cannot say enough abouttheir accolades.”

During their tenure with the battalion, the com-mand team oversaw the deployment of numerousArmy watercraft in support of Joint Logistics, Over-the-Shore exercises around the world, Operation Pa-cific Reach in Japan, U.S. Army South missions inFlorida and use of watercraft in support of NASAshuttle missions. Additionally, the team traveled to-gether to Georgia to assist the 3rd Infantry Divisionwith their first waterborne deployment exercise.

Both Williams and Johnson spoke fondly of theirtime with the ‘Waterborne’ battalion.

“It seems like just yesterday I was at Third Portfor my assumption-of-command ceremony. I guesstime flies when you’re having fun,” said Williams.

“Fun does not even begin to describe what [I] andCommand Sergeant Major Johnson have had duringour time in command. We have been truly blessedwith officers, non-commissioned officers and Sol-diers who are second to none.”

I could feel the sweat running alongmy body as Airmen from the Langley AirForce Base, Va., Fire Department, Station2, helped me into a structural fire suit,weighing 70 pounds.

“We have a minute to put all that on,”said Airman 1st Class Thomas Stewart,633rd Civil Engineer Squadron firefight-er. “A lot of guys fail out of tech school be-cause they can’t get the gear on in time.”

My own internal clock told me I had justpassed the five-minute mark as the Airmenhelped me zip up the fire-resistance jacket.Looking at Steward, who started at the sametime and had already been fully dressed forat least four minutes, it was easy to acceptthe fact that I was never going to be a fire-fighter. That was fine, I thought. It takes aspecial breed to knowingly put themselvesin harm’s way to save the life of another.

“Saving a life has got to be the best feel-ing ever,” said Joseph Serafini, Station 2driver-operator and retired U.S. Air Forcemaster sergeant. “It’s great to know thatthere are eight to 10 people alive todaybecause of me and my crew.”

Serafini, whose firefighting career hasspanned more than two decades, said hedoesn’t retain the memories of lives saved

as vividly as other, less pleasant, memories.“I was a youngAirman in Spain,” he said.

“This woman brought her baby into thestation, it wasn’t breathing. It had alreadypassed away. But, we couldn’t presumeanyone dead, so we did CPR and tried tocomfort the mother. It was awful. Years lat-er, the smell of baby powder would bringme right back to that incident.”

He paused, seemingly scanning hismemory for the right words to describehow he was feeling.

“It’s unfortunate,” Serafini continued. “Iremember the ones we didn’t save morethan the ones we did.”

Willie Walden, the captain of Station 2and a sergeant major in the U.S. Army Re-serve, nodded when Serafini spoke.

“You can’t take this job home with you,”Walden said. “You have to leave it here.Sometimes it’s hard, but over the years youfigure out how to separate the two worlds.”

The Matthew Jones House sits atop of a hill off Harrison Road at Fort Eustis. Matthew

Jones, aVirginia planter thought to be the original owner, is said to have built the structure

as early as 1700.

By Senior Airman Jason J. Brown633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Since its establishment as an Army campin 1918, Fort Eustis has experienced wavesof change. From its early days as a coastal ar-tillery-replacement center and balloon-train-ing grounds, to serving as a prison, to theTransportation School era, and now mod-ernization as a joint base, the landscape ofthe post along the James River has certain-ly evolved.

However, a short drive down HarrisonRoad on post reveals one facet of the in-stallation that has withstood the test oftime – a lot of time.

The small, brick home capping the hilloff Harrison Road near Eustis Lake is theMatthew Jones House, the oldest struc-ture on post.

Estimates say the original foundationand parts of the building date back to 1700,with several additions and changes to thehome since.

The house rests 25 feet above sea level ona knoll 700 feet east of the James River. Mat-thew Jones, a Virginia planter for whom thehome is named, is thought to be its origi-nal owner. According to Christopher Mc-Daid, 733rd Civil Engineer Division cultur-al resources manager, most of the original,

wooden building was removed, save for thetwo large chimneys on each end. The mainbody of the T-shaped house was likely builtin 1727 for Jones, with its original, woodenframe used to build brickwork around.

“The Jones house was originally built asa wooden earthfast home, where timberswere inserted into holes in the ground,and the home built around,” McDaid said.“This sort of construction allowed theowner to easily repair the timbers by justpulling old ones out and replacing them.

“As tobacco farmers in the region weretrying to grow and ship their goods back toEngland as fast as possible, the idea was thatby the time the home needed significant re-pair, the planter would’ve already left,” Mc-Daid continued. “For that reason, this type ofhome was very popular in colonial Virginia.”

McDaid explained that Jones felt the needto compete with wealthier planters up theJames River coastline, who constructed pa-latial plantation homes, and therefore opt-ed for brickwork expansion on his houseon the hill. The design included two depen-dencies, or small exterior buildings, usedfor laundry and kitchens on the property.

“It was about status, saying ‘Hey, I havea nice brick house, too!’” McDaid added.

By Tech. Sgt. Randy Redman633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Anyone who regularly arrives at Lang-ley Air Force Base, Va., through the LaSalleAvenue gate should start making alternatetravel plans. Beginning Aug. 13, this gatewill close for roughly six or seven monthsdue to the construction of a new VisitorCenter and gate-entrance guardhouse.

Tech. Sgt. Faye McKevitt, 633rd Securi-ty Forces Squadron non-commissioned of-ficer in charge of Police Services and Cor-rections, said any traffic approaching fromthe downtown Hampton/Interstate-64Aarea will be diverted to the Durand, West[Armistead] or King Street gates.

“To alleviate traffic congestion, person-nel are asked to make entry onto Lang-ley through gates servicing their respectivedestination area,” said McKevitt. “Anyonewho holds a current military-identificationcard, has current registration and current in-surance, with a need to come onto the north

side of Langley, should use the NASA-Du-rand Gate to avoid traffic congestion.”

If an individual works or resides aroundthe Air Combat Command Campus area,McKevitt recommends using the KingStreet gate to expedite base access.

Traffic flowing through the Langley AFBgates typically peaks at 6 to 9 a.m., 11 a.m.to 12:30 p.m. and 3:45 to 5 p.m. McKevittsaid 633rd SFS personnel will do everythingpossible to ensure traffic flows smoothly.

“The plan is to reallocate the personnelassigned daily to support LaSalle Gateoperations to the West [Armistead] Gate,”said McKevitt. “What the base populacewill see is at least two lanes open at theWest [Armistead] Gate during non-peakhours, and up to four lanes open duringpeak hours outside of the morning rush.”

Anyone planning to use these gates atthese times should plan accordingly.

“Leave enough time to make it to yourdestination safely, and have all necessaryidentification out and ready to be pro-cessed at the entry point,” said McKev-itt. “Contractor badges will still have tobe processed through Armistead or KingStreet, as this form of identification is notrecognized by NASA.”

Jim Wampler, 633rd Civil Engineer

Squadron chief of programs, said the La-Salle Gate construction is the third and fi-nal gate project (King Street and the Ar-mistead Gates have already been redone)to update the base’s anti-terrorism andforce-protection measures at the base’sthree main-entry points.

“The second phase of this $7.6 millionproject will provide a new guardhousesimilar to the others, plus a beautiful newexpanded Visitor Center,” said Wampler,explaining that construction of the newVehicle Inspection Station on ArmisteadAvenue was the first phase. “The old fa-cility was really small, but this new centerwill be built to much higher standards,and will provide Langley with a beautifulplace to welcome folks to our base. It willalso house the Pass and Identification Of-fice for ‘one-stop-shopping’.”

The original contract for the construc-tion was awarded in July 2010, and is be-ing carried out by the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers. Paul Petersen, 633rd CES proj-ect manager, is the liaison between Lang-ley and the USACE. He said the new2,800 square-foot Visitors Center facilitywill make getting on base a lot simplerfor visitors and contractors alike.

“Pass and ID will have six work-sta-

tions, a work area for SFS and an officefor an NCOIC. There will also be 31 park-ing spaces, including two handicap spac-es, in the new parking lot to be construct-ed,” said Petersen. “The biggest benefitof this whole project is that people don’thave to worry about big trucks waitingto get inspected at this gate; those haveall been diverted to the Large Vehicle In-spection Station on Armistead.

“Additionally, the finished elevation ofthis new facility will be 10 feet above sealevel, so flooding shouldn’t be a problemat all in the future,” said Petersen, refer-ring to the proximity between the VisitorCenter and the Back River.

Wampler said beginning Aug. 13, La-Salle Avenue will be blocked at Tide MillLane, and the City of Hampton will pro-vide signs to notify anyone attemptingto access the base from that direction. Healso mentioned a small change in trafficflow on base.

“People coming down Elm Street will nolonger be able to turn left onto Nealy Av-enue, and people will not be able to turnleft from Nealy onto Elm,” said Wampler.“A median will be added as another force-protection measure to further protectagainst any potential gate runners.”

The 633rd Force Support Squadron willhost the first Langley-Eustis AppreciationDay Aug. 3 at the Langley Air Force Basesoccer fields.

LEAD evolved from Junior Enlist-ed Appreciation Day to include Soldiersfrom Fort Eustis should they want to joinin the fun.

“This is the time for [senior non-com-missioned officers] to take one day toshow their appreciation of their junior-enlisted personnel’s hard work,” saidJames Murrell, 633rd FSS communitycenter director.

Murrell plans to make this year’s LEADphenomenal by providing Service mem-bers numerous activities aimed at junior-enlisted Airmen and Soldiers. Each seg-ment of the event area is dedicated to aspecific activity.

Aside from a mechanical bull, bouncycastles and a dunking both, Murrell said a“gamer’s bus” equipped with videogameconsoles will be provided for game junkies

and their friends.For those with a more competitive spirit,

activities such as corn hole, volleyball, bas-ketball and a number of Airmen-versus-chiefs events are scheduled to take place.

In addition to activities, Murrell saidthere will be free food, and music fromthe Heritage of America Band’s group,the Blue Aces.

Those invited include Department of

Defense, active-duty, Reserve and Nation-al Guard personnel and their families. Thesoccer fields will be an alternate-duty lo-cation, so Murrell expects approximately3,000 people to come out.

The Langley Civic Leaders Associationwill also be making an appearance, andplans to help out with the events to showtheir support of Joint Base Langley-Eustis.

The main support, however, comes from

the senior-enlisted personnel from acrossbase, said Master Sgt. John Ritz, 633rd FSSfirst sergeant. Master sergeants and abovewill be serving food, and serve as proctorsfor competitions.

“A lot of hard work and planning hasgone into making sure the junior enlistedand their families are well entertained,”said Ritz. He admitted that stress creptinto the planning process, but to see ev-eryone having a good time is the ulti-mate reward.

After taking lessons learned from JEADin years past, the senior enlisted gath-ered together, planned out the appropriatebudget and prioritized needs. After figur-ing out how much food, people and equip-ment were required, Ritz found volunteersand set times.

In the future, Murrell said there will bemore coordination with the Fort EustisMorale, Welfare and Recreation Center tomake the event better reflect the spirit ofJoint Base Langley-Eustis.

“We always strive to show our Airmen agood time,” said Murrell. “This day is def-initely dedicated to that mission.”

Walden recalled an incident five yearsago at Fort Monroe, Va. He and his crew re-sponded to a group who had fallen victimto a boating accident. The people on the boathad toppled overboard and couldn’t swim.Walden and his team were able to rescuethree, but the fourth victim didn’t make it.

“To this day I’m left wondering whatI could have done to save him,” Waldensaid. “My guys had a hold on him, but heslipped away and they lost him.”

Serafini looked at Walden, as if under-standing where he was coming from. Bothfirefighters were now veterans in their ca-reer, responsible for training a new gener-ation to eventually take their place.

“You have to feel for people,” Serafinisaid. “You have to have empathy, but youalso have to put your safety first. If we gethurt, how can we help others?”

Serafini looked at Stewart.

“How many ways are there to do thingsright?” he asked to the young Airman.

Stewart responded immediately, as ifreciting a phrase he’d heard a thousandtimes before.

“The right way, and the right way,”Stewart said.

After Stewart answered, Walden lookedproudly at his crew.

“Between all of us we get the job done,”Walden said. “And these guys want to doit. They are hungry to learn and train. Wehave some good guys here.”

Through all the training, the drills andexercises the firefighters still remain oncall – ready to respond to emergencies ona moment’s notice.

“We are there to help people when theyare at their absolute worst,” Serafini said.“We don’t say we are too busy, or we are onlunch. We never, ever turn people away.”

PATRIOT FROM PAGE 4

According to research by the Fort EustisHistorical and Archaeological Associa-tion, the Jones family owned the farmbuilding and the surrounding land un-til 1848. Known as Brick House Farm atthat time, it was next acquired by Ben-nett Wood. In 1893, the building was pur-chased by Williams Webb, who expandedit to include a second story, and removedthe dependencies.

The evolution of the building is visiblein the variations in brickwork, McDaidsaid. The house features several methodsof brick construction, including Englishbond, Flemish bond and American com-mon bond. These methods were used toidentify the different periods of renovationto the home’s design.

The Brick House Farm came into federalpossession March 15, 1918, when the U.S.Army purchased Mulberry Island and thesurrounding land for $538,000 from Ed-ward Milstead to establish Camp Abra-ham Eustis, named for the first command-ing general of nearby Fort Monroe.

When the Army returned to Fort Eustisfollowing World War II, it promised com-munity leaders the house would not berazed or otherwise disturbed. Howev-er, when the post experienced a housingshortage, the Army modified the homeslightly in order to use it as post hous-ing. The FEHAA said a lieutenant and asergeant lived in the house between 1920and 1932, and the home served as offi-

cer’s quarters during WWII.Following the war, the home sat vacant,

save for trespassers who frequented theabandoned building, McDaid said. As partof preservation efforts, parts of the second-floor wall, featuring graffiti and signaturesof the passers-through, is preserved be-hind plexiglass, with some markings dat-ing back as early as 1939.

The home was declared a Virginia His-toric Landmark in April 1969, and wasplaced on the National Register of Histor-ic Places that June.

Realizing the home’s historic signifi-cance and potential, the Army Corps ofEngineers in Norfolk raised funding topreserve the house, and turn it into an ar-chitectural-study museum.

Today, the Matthew Jones House is thehome of the Fort EustisArchaeological Pro-gram, with a small office area in additionto the museum space. The home is labeledwith small, numbered plaques, annotatingsignificant elements of the home, whichare described in an accompanying histo-ry guide. (These are available at the houseduring tours.) The building also featuresunearthed findings from the surroundingarea, including ammunition, uniform ele-ments and even a military sword.

359th TransportationBattalion bridges thegap at Fort Eustis for...By Senior Airman Jason J. Brown633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The U.S Army Reserve’s 359th Transpor-tation Battalion honed its warfighter-sup-port capabilities during Operation Drag-on Wave, a training exercise held at FortEustis’ 3rd Port July 16-29.

The operation featured Logistics-Over-the-Shore, or LOTS, training to sustained trainedand technically-proficient watercraft, andtransportation units utilizing the port’s Har-bormaster Command and Control Center.

During the training scenario, more than200 Army Reserve Soldiers provided sup-port to the fictitious Combined Joint TaskForce Sumatra, charged with assistingthe government of Indonesia in overcom-ing an insurrection of the island of Suma-tra. The 359th Trans. Bn. was tasked withproviding logistics support for force pro-tection to the task force, bridging the gapbetween vessels and the port, which is en-cumbered by enemy forces.

The Soldiers brought a variety of cargo,including Humvees, sky lifts and palletizedcargo, aboard landing-craft-mechanized, orMike boats, from 3rd Port to Utah Beach and

back – to test their ability to operate in LOTS.“In Logistics-Over-the-Shore, we exer-

cise our ability to hit the beach with cargo,using Mike boats, tugs and barges. It’s theArmy’s element to get cargo from a ship tobeachhead when there’s no infrastructureavailable,” said Capt. Jonas Bateman, the359th Trans. Bn. S3 plans officer.

Bateman said the biggest piece of the ex-ercise was implementing the new Harbor-master Command and Control Center, orHCCC. The HCCC is a rapidly-deployablesystem that allows Soldiers to track ves-sels, cargo visibility, and exercise port orbeach command-and-control functions us-ing state-of-the-art technologies.

“Our new HCCC allows our harbormas-

ter element to have satellite communications,[Unclassified but Sensitive Internet ProtocolRouter Network] and [Secret Internet Proto-col Router Network], and full-motion videoto do harbormaster operations directly on abeach. They set up on the sand, and are allself-contained,” Bateman explained.

“Our Soldiers and the HCCC are ableto see our boats moving, hitting the beachwith cargo and picking up, and are control-ling the boats in and out.”

While transferring cargo between UtahBeach and 3rd port, the Soldiers faced avariety of challenges, including harass-ment by enemy forces via simulated small-arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades or im-provised-explosive devices. Additionally,

crews dealt with simulated pirate attackswhile underway in the river, and heldman-overboard drills, providing a varietyof scenarios Soldiers could face during op-erations in hostile waters.

Operation Dragon Wave also providedannual training for several reservists fromoutside Fort Eustis, as well. Sgt. Christo-pher Mortorff, the vessel master of LCM-8596 assigned to the 464th Trans. Company(Medium Boat), brought his vessel and Sol-diers from Fort Belvoir, Va., to participate.He joined reservists from across Virginia,some from as far away as Baltimore, Md., inhoning their skills and training new troops.

“All the Soldiers out here on deck are intraining to receive their certification to be-come watercraft operators,” Mortorff saidwhile underway on the LCM-8596. “I’ve gota coxswain in training at the helm in controlof the vessel. When he’s done the training,he’ll be certified to operate this class of vessel.

“It’s definitely a great opportunity forus to be down here participating, as wedon’t get the chance to experience thissort of exercise too often,” he continued.“We’re glad to be here helping out andgetting our folks certified.”

Physical fitness is a key component toany Service member’s lifestyle; it is para-mount to mission success and an integralpart of the core values of all branches.

The Shelbank Fitness Center at LangleyAir Force Base, Va., strives to provide afull schedule of programs to keep Servicemembers, retirees and their dependentsactive and interested in maintaining theirfitness. On July 11, the fitness center helda Total Resistance Exercise instructor cer-tification course, to increase the diversityof programs available to athletes.

TRX is a suspension-training workout,which uses body weight and functional-movement exercises for a high-intensity,full-body and cardio workout. The pro-gram uses the three principles of vectorresistance, stability training, and pendu-lum effect to increase strength, flexibilityand balance.

The introduction of this course is partof the Langley fitness program’s effort todiversify the options available to Servicemembers.

“The program generated from Service-member interest,” said John Hickok, Shel-

bank Fitness Center fitness director. “The in-creasing demand led us to set up this courseto meet the needs of interested patrons.”

The fitness center hopes to increase thenumber of offered classes in the morningand evening to accommodate the sched-ule of anyone interested in participating.

While most programs are invented bycivilians, TRX was developed by mem-bers of the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s, and hasincorporated feedback from active-dutyService members worldwide. The exer-cises implement movements common ina day-to-day work environment.

“Lifting weights can only do so muchfor your body. With the bench press for ex-ample, it’s rare that you have to lift some-thing off of your body from a lying-downposition,” said Mike Skaggs, the courseinstructor. “This program strengthensyour body in the natural way it moves.”

Due to the fact TRX is made up of ex-ercises that reinforce the core and joints,it strengthens the body as a whole. Thefitness center will also provide TRX kitsavailable to check out for anyone interest-ed in the program, but unable attend theclasses regularly.

By Airman 1st Class Austin Harvill633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

From the arch of the foot to the swing of the arm, theHealth and Wellness Center taught Airmen the secret toshaving up to a minute from the physical training test,July 9, at Langley Air Force Base, Va.

Pack leaders and those that bring up the rear bothbenefited from the HAWC’s running program.

“What we do is look at running form,” said TonyArroyo,a HAWC exercise physiologist. “Then we give them a goodprogression program specific to the mile-and-a-half.”

Prior to an outdoor evaluation, Capt. Kristen Mayer, a633rd Medical Group physical therapist, taught participantsabout the importance of running form and proper footwear.

Without proper footwear, for example, common inju-ries such as shin splints and lower back pain arise, saidMayer. Also, improper footwear and form can cause per-manent injury to the knees and ankles due to the arch of arunner’s foot, or the way their foot hits the ground.

Mayer explained the importance of the progressionsystem and helped participants with their individu-al problems, such as shoe brands and workouts. After-wards, Arroyo expanded on the workout, and calculat-ed what runners would need to do to reach their goals.

“Most individuals go wrong by starting their training

too late,” saidArroyo. “They don’t have time for their bod-ies to adapt to what they are trying to get accomplished.”

Arroyo said a 90-day training period, focused aroundprogression of intensity, is the key to improving runtimes. In addition to progression, he stressed that run-ners shouldn’t pound the pavement five days a week.He advocates for runners to work three days, and thendo active recovery.

Active recovery means working out on days thataren’t part of an exercise program, giving certain mus-cles a break, while still staying active. An examplewould be running three days a week, then doing mus-cle training or sports during the rest of the week.

With all these lessons learned, Arroyo took the classout to the track to evaluate the gait of each runner, andgive tips and advice on how to improve their run.

Arroyo took the class through a series of warm-ups,took notes and kept time as each participant ran a lap,then told each runner where improvement was neededto maximize energy. After the activity, he gave out infor-mation from the HAWC the class could use to improve.

“Everybody moves differently,” said Arroyo. “Thepurpose of this class is to show them specifically whatneeds to be changed to improve their overall fitness.”

Mike Skaggs, Total Resistance Exercise instructor, demonstrates an exercise at Langley Air

Force Base, Shellbank Fitness Center, July 11.TRX is a full-body strength and cardio exercise

developed for Service members by Service members in the U.S. Navy special forces.

U.S. Air Force Reserve Maj. AlexandraHalchak, 633rd Air Base Wing assistantjudge advocate, enjoyed the combination ofclassroom instruction and physical practice.

“I like the interaction,” said Halchak.“Setting goals and then practicing to keepmy form.”

U.S. Air Force Reserve Capt. C.J. Grote-wohl, another running-clinic participant,

praised the progression program and theuniqueness of running training.

“I’ve been trained in a lot of sportsbefore, but never running,” said Grote-wohl. “I like the ‘lap-by-lap’ approach tomeet my goal.”

CLINIC FROM PAGE 15

The 8-hour course taught personnelfrom the base gyms and Health and Well-ness Center to instruct their own classes.The curriculum included every exerciseand leadership techniques. The class wassplit into two groups who took turns in-structing and doing the multiple exercises.

TRX began due to general interest inthe program by avid gym-goers. The pro-gram is currently taught at the fitness cen-ter twice a week for anyone interested, butwith a newly-certified group of instruc-tors, the center hopes to increase the num-

ber of participants.Since the program is geared toward a

military lifestyle, it could be beneficial in adeployed setting.

“Courses like TRX can greatly help Ser-vice members in the long run,” said StaffSgt. Jacob Bell, Shelbank fitness specialistand newly-certified TRX instructor. “It’s agreat feeling to teach something that canpotentially save a fellow warrior’s life.”

Editor’s note: No federal endorsement ofthe TRX Program from the Air Force or Lang-ley AFB is implied.

By Airman 1st Class R. Alex Durbin633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Air Force Command and Con-trol Integration Center, partneredwith the 633rd Air Base Wing firstresponders, concluded the secondphase of the Joint Forces ExperimentJuly 20 at Langley Air Force Base, Va.

The week-long experiment, Uni-fied Capabilities II, tested the inte-gration of mobile devices with first-response teams’ ability to respondto emergencies, and share pertinentinformation with fellow emergencypersonnel in real-time.

The experiment used realistic sce-narios to measure the capabilities ofnew and emerging technology withemergency-response teams fromLangley and the surrounding area.

The study relied on active-shoot-er and mass-casualty scenarios totest communication between secu-rity forces, medical personnel andfirefighters. These scenarios were se-lected because they require a full re-sponse from all three departments.They offered a chance to derive in-formation-exchange requirementsfor Service members to do their jobmore effectively.

“The most important objectiveof this experiment is to aid first re-sponders, so they can help when youneed it most,” said Greg Church,JEFX experimentation branch chief.

The use of multiple technologies,such as smart phones and tablets, al-lows emergency-response teams toshare up-to-the-second informationas it develops on-scene, replacingthe voice-only communication capa-bility of the land mobile radios cur-rently used.

Because technology fully impactseveryday life, this new system of-fers a simple solution that can great-ly improve communication betweenemergency response departments,said Tech. Sgt. William Copeland,

633rd Security Forces Squadron flightchief. One person on-scene will havethe ability to disperse information toall first responders quickly and effi-ciently. This will allow all personnelto see the same information simul-taneously, providing a complete pic-ture as soon as the call comes in.

This technology removes the needfor constant calls to each depart-ment, saving time, money, resourc-es, and potentially, lives.

“This method will offer stream-lined communication between firstresponders,” said Staff Sgt. Sarah Ke-arney, 633rd SFS specialist and ex-periment assessor. “Technology ischanging every day, and this gives usthe opportunity to enhance the waywe handle emergency situations.”

This new system will allow lead-ership at the Emergency OperationsCenter to have a constant situation-al awareness of the event, allowingthem to tie the teams together into aunified front.

The first phase of the experiment,Unified Capabilities I, was conduct-ed Jan. 16 through Feb. 10, and test-ed different cellular providers, as

well as set up a mobile infrastruc-ture on Langley AFB using third-and fourth-generation cellular tech-nologies and mobile devices.

Although the first phase was onlya few months ago, the process hasbeen a year in the making.

Last summer, the JEFX team metwith Langley first responders toget an operational look at poten-tial ideas to improve the current re-sponse system in place. Those sameteam members helped conduct thelatest phase of the experiment. Thisprovides them with context, whileallowing them to grow with project.

“The first phases of the experimentopened the door to new technology,”said Col. Joel Martin, Innovation andExperimentation division chief. “Wewanted to find out what it could dofor a warfighter in any environment.”

While all military personnel are fa-miliar with exercises, the purposeand methods of experiments are notas widely known. An exercise teststhe capabilities of personnel and theirability to complete tasks proficiently,whereas experiments test new equip-ment and procedures.
