It took signatures from the garrison
commander all the way up the chain
of command to the Secretary of the
Army, two years’ worth of paperwork
and thousands of hours of manpower
to recognize excellence at the highest
level. With a flourish, it was done and
there was no doubt: U.S. Army Garrison
Wiesbaden is a “Superior Unit.”
Adding to “Your Home in Germany’s” designations as an Army
Community of Excellence in 2011 and
a Sustained Excellence Community
in 2012, the garrison was awarded the
esteemed Army Superior Unit Award
during a ceremony March 18 at the

The Army Superior Unit Award
was established by the Secretary of the
Army to recognize units that display
outstanding meritorious performance
during a difficult and/or challenging
mission carried out under extraordinary
circumstances, said Michael Formica,
Installation Management CommandEurope region director, who spoke at
the ceremony. For USAG Wiesbaden,
this meant excelling at providing the
highest quality services to its Soldiers,
Families and civilians while supporting numerous deployments and U.S.
Army Europe’s move from Heidelberg
to Wiesbaden.
Wiesbaden was nominated for the
Superior Unit Award by former
U.S. Army Europe Commanding
General Lt. Gen. David Campbell,
who wrote in his endorsement
letter that the garrison’s previous
awards “provide ample evidence
thereof and underscores this garrison’s status as the garrison of
choice to live, work and raise
families.”

this award almost since she’s been
here,” said Robert Schloesser,
director of Wiesbaden Family and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
“She builds a team that is loyal and
has the same quest for excellence
that she has.”
Over the past year, Meert
enforced tough standards and expectations of her team resulting in
hundreds of training opportunities
across the full spectrum of social
services, training more than 27,000
customers.
Under her leadership, the Wiesbaden ACS averages more than
35,000 customer contacts monthly
and maintains a consistent customer
satisfaction rate above 98 percent
with a 100 percent on-time followup rate. In July 2014, the ACS
team was once again accredited,
earning another perfect score of
100 percent out of 208 standards
that were inspected; this was the
second perfect score for Meert and
her team.
Her accomplishments include
increasing the number of volunteers
from 1,933 registered volunteers
to 2,859 to mitigate the impacts of
sequestration, thereby increasing
the number of German language
classes offered; introducing two
extremely successful volunteer
resiliency-focused programs; and
implementing the garrison’s first
“Holiday Food Bank,” which
provided cost-free nonperishable
food items to any garrison ID
cardholder in need; the program
touched nearly 100 families in its
inaugural year.The Angel Tree gift
program ensures 304 children in
the community received gifts for
the holidays.
Meert mentored the Survivor
Outreach Services (SOS) program
manager to transform the program.
A partnership with the University
of Maryland University College to
use its art room allowed Survivors
to meet and express themselves
through painting together. She addressed issues with TRICARE that
prevented Survivors in Europe from
receiving their authorized health
care benefit, which was particularly
important for surviving children of
the fallen.
Finally, a memorial garden was
dedicated in memory of fallen Soldiers and to honor their surviving
Families.

Meert has served as Wiesbaden
ACS director for seven years.
“It’s the capstone in my career
with Army Community Service
and USAG Wiesbaden. I’m very
humbled for even being nominated
for the award, let alone actually
receiving it, but I certainly couldn’t
have won it without the support
of the ACS team, Dr. Schloesser
and the garrison command,” she
said. “It’s been an honor serving
this great community and working
alongside the fine professionals of
Army Community Service.”

“I am extremely proud of the garrison’s many
accomplishments during this time of transformation,
and especially pleased that the sense of community
remains high as you continue to deliver the Army’s
Soldier for Life promises to our constituency,” said
Formica. “My challenge to you is to continue to sustain practices and past achievements that led to this
recognition, and to never be satisfied that we have
accomplished all that we can in our mission to take
care of Soldiers and their Families.
“Congratulations on a job well done,” he concluded. “You are a world-class organization, and now
recognized as such.”

USAG Wiesbaden — Wackernheim, Wiesbaden
CDCs reorganize to accommodate children
Story and photo by
Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public
Affairs Office
With the Hainerberg Housing area
access control point becoming active
March 15, it was necessary to ensure the
community’s “most precious resources”
remained inside the gate. So on March
13, the Hainerberg Child Development Center closed and March 16, the
children cared for there were provided
care at other CDCs on Hainerberg and
Clay Kaserne.
Garrison Commander Col. Mary
Martin and CDC administrators held
a townhall meeting at the School Age
Care Center in Hainerberg March 11 to
explain the move to affected parents.
Almost two dozen parents attended
to express their concerns about lack of
timely transportation from Hainerberg
to Clay Kaserne, the effect the changes
would have on their children and questions about why the Hainerberg CDC
was renovated and then closed.
The city of Wiesbaden repaired flood
damage that had occurred several times
before, as the building was susceptible to
flooding, Martin explained. The building
was not planned to be reopened. But
after terrorist attacks occurred in Paris,
it was deemed necessary to hasten the
ACP by one month and ensure child
care was behind an ACP.
“I will apologize a thousand times
for inconveniences before I apologize
for the loss of a child,” said Martin. “I

Director Michael Formica, smiles at children during a tour of the Clay Kaserne CDC with its director, Melissa Crawford (right) March 18.
made a plan and I’m sticking to it. This
is about your safety, and moreover, your
children’s safety.”
Child, Youth and School Services
and the garrison are making efforts to
accommodate children being displaced,
she continued.
“I didn’t want to tell you we were
closing with no hope,” she said.
Four Child Development Homes are
being developed from empty stairwell
housing in Hainerberg. As soon as the
homes have passed inspection, they will
be used as space for part-day toddlers
currently cared for in the existing CD
Home. Children displaced from the
Hainerberg CDC will have first priority
for these homes, said Martin.
In the meantime, part-day toddlers
are being cared for in the Child Development Home (Building 7785) at 33 Texasstrasse; part-day preschool children are
in Clay Kaserne CDC (Building 1502)
and share
space with the
Strong Beginnings morning
class, but still
receive preschool lessons. The room is
large enough for the Strong Beginnings
and preschool children to move as a
group from one side of the module to
the other. (Army regulations state that
different age groups may not be mixed,
and CDCs must abide by this rule in
order to maintain accreditation.)
Hourly care reservations are being
honored in another CDC. Parent Central
Services staff will contact parents if a
toddler or preschool hour care reservation was made for March 2015.
Martin added that in 2012, there
was a plan to build a new CDC, but
then sequestration was enacted and the
plans had to be abandoned for budgetary reasons. She has asked her staff to
relook at the plans and is planning to
present them to the Army staff, but bears
no promises.
Parents were appreciative of the
opportunity to present their concerns
in an open forum and expressed praise
for the CYSS staff and the CDC – “the
best CDC in our 17 years in the Army,”
said one mother.
“You have resilient children and
they bounce back better sometimes than
adults,” concluded Martin.

Kandler at mil 548-9300 or civ (0611)

5th Signal Command
Public Affairs Office
Unit sponsorships offer a military boost to
schools, and 5th Signal
Command’s support of
Wiesbaden High School
is no exception.
The command’s mission is to “build, operate, defend and extend
network capabilities to
enable mission command and create tactical,
operational, and strategic
flexibility for Army, Joint,
and Multi-national forces
in the European Command and Africa Command areas of responsibility,” lending a unique
technical expertise. Com-
mander Col. Jimmy Hall
Jr. and Command Sgt.
Maj. Harry Mercado took
an opportunity to tour the
school’s classrooms and
facilities with administrators March 11.
5th Signal Command
not only sponsors the high
school, but also provides
technical assistance with
computers, judges for
competitions and mentors
and volunteers to assist
with school needs.
“I’m very pleased.
This is a very pleasant situation to be in as
an administrator of the
school,” said Principal
Greg Hatch. “I know that
I’ve got just a wide variety
of skills or numbers of
people when I need them.
As we identify needs
where we could use assistance from outside the
building, we just contact
one of the senior NCOs
from 5th Signal and it just
gets done,” Hatch said.
The partnership is
especially beneficial for
the school’s science,
technology, engineering
and math classes and its
RoboWarriors Club.
“I’ve been doing this a
long time and I’ve never
seen a commander take
such an active interest,”
said Peter Witmer, school
liaison officer.
“It’s a good school and
a good program, and I’m
glad that we’re a part of
it,” Hall said.
Col. Hall speaks with Peter Witmer in the robotics lab during a tour of the
school’s facilities.
Partners in

Teaching and learning were in full swing
after school at Hainerberg Elementary
School March 19.
First-grade teachers
and Tammy Williams,
a literacy specialist,
offered a “Partners in
Print” workshop for
parents and students
to improve reading skills. Williams
shared tips, tricks
and strategies, and
then students and
parents put them to
the test through a
variety of activities.

Telehealth brings long-distance specialists to you
Photo by Philip Jones

Physician Assistant Steven Cain to evaluate on his own computer monitor and provide an appropriate plan of care.
Special to the Herald Union
Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs Office
Telehealth is paving the way for the future of military medicine in Europe Regional Medical Command .
Telehealth bridges the geographical distances between
patients and specialty care providers, increases patient
access to care and supports mission readiness.
This innovative approach to military medicine allows specialty care providers at Landstuhl Regional
Medical Center to cross commands, countries and
continents to provide high-quality, patient-centered
care to beneficiaries residing in or deployed to Europe.
Telehealth is the use of electronic information and
telecommunications technologies to support longdistance clinical health care, patient and professional
health-related education, and public health and health
administration.
LRMC established its Telehealth Program Office
in January 2014 as part the Defense Health Agency’s
desired end-state to seamlessly integrate telehealth
into routine patient care by the year 2020. Since its
inception, LRMC telehealth has steadily proven its
relevancy in today’s military healthcare system in
Europe.
Using telehealth has allowed a variety of LRMC
medical specialists to treat patients at outlying Army
Health Clinics in Belgium, Germany and Italy, all the
while decreasing the need for patient travel to LRMC
and reducing time away from work.
Video-teleconferencing technology and advanced
medical devices such as stethoscopes allow LRMC
providers to listen in real-time to patient heart and
lung sounds. Other examples, such as otoscopes to
perform real-time ear exams, and general exam cameras to provide dermatology quality skin exams, are
helping telehealth providers to successfully transition
from the traditional tele-behavioral health era into a
tele-comprehensive specialty care era.
Full-time telehealth nurses have been hired at
Vilseck, Wiesbaden and Stuttgart Patch Army Health
Clinics to support these high-quality, synchronous appointments between patients and their specialty care
providers. Telehealth is also available at other Army
Health Clinics in Europe but not currently supported
with full-time nurses.
Telehealth nurses are highly trained and qualified
to conduct appointments and act as surrogates to assist
in the examination for providers and ensure there is no
degradation in quality of care when using telehealth.
“I often find that my patients are initially curious
about their telehealth appointment, but by the end
they are surprised and impressed with the quality of
their examination and encounter with their provider,”
said Robin Smith, a telehealth nurse at Vilseck Army
Health Clinic. Smith is well-versed in telehealth as
both a practitioner and a beneficiary.
“I have also experienced telehealth as a patient and
as the mother of two children that received care via
telehealth,” said Smith. “Receiving care from special-
ists at LRMC via telehealth meant my children and I
were able to stay in the U.S. healthcare system while
living overseas, and it is also minimized the number
of trips we needed to make back and forth to LRMC.”
“...by the end they are surprised
and impressed with the quality
of their examination and encounter with their provider.”
What once may have required a patient to travel
multiple times to LRMC may now be reduced to
just one trip. With the use of telehealth, patients can
complete their pre-operative and post-operative appointments in the comfort of their own clinic, and only
need to travel to LRMC for their scheduled procedure.
Additionally, telehealth supports a variety of patient
care needs such as nutritional counseling, sleep study
counseling, and educational classes for procedures
such as vasectomies.
“Telehealth essentially takes the outlying Army
health clinics, with otherwise limited access to specialty care providers, and turns them into their own
Regional Medical Centers,” said Erica Taylor, Nurse
Director of the Telehealth Program.
If you receive a referral for a healthcare specialist,
ask your doctor or nurse about telehealth as an option
or call the LRMC Telehealth Program Office at mil
590-4600 or civ (06371) 9464-4600.

Returning to
America after 26
years abroad
Story and photos by
George Smith
Special to the Herald Union
When I first came to Southern
California after living 26 years in
Germany, I heard questions from
tanned guys in shorts that went
something like, “Dude, how does
it feel to leave a land of constant
moisture for the land of perpetual
sun?” “Well,” I’d say, “Park the tofu
and the skateboard and I’ll share my
wisdom, young one.”
I arrived in California right after
Thanksgiving in 2013, feeling like I
had landed in an exciting new foreign
country. But the U.S. overwhelmed
me with choices. There were so
many detailed and confusing TV,
Internet and phone plans that I felt
to figure them out I needed a teenage
lawyer with a minor in accounting.
Outdoors, differences are even
greater. California smells like heat
and Germany smells like rain. Germany offered green forests and lots
of clouds. Southern California gives
me blue skies and golden hills. Sure,
a cynic might call the golden hills
“dead brown vegetation scorched by
constant sun.” But when it comes to
too much nature, I’ll take the wind
storms and snow of Germany over
California’s earthquakes, wild fires
and mud slides.
As you might expect in a desert
climate, Southern Californians battle
with lines of ants trying to breach
house defenses, rattlesnakes behind
bushes and black widows waiting in
ambush in the garage. But I prefer
Cali’s crawlers over Germany’s flyers. Germans rarely use screens, so
mosquitos and house flies constantly
buzzed into our off-post home for
dinner, just to bug us.
When it comes to larger wildlife,
in Germany I often found deer,
rabbits and wild pigs on the menu.
In Southern California, I’m on the
menu. I’d go for walks and imagine
the mountain lions and coyotes whispering to each other, “I’m starving.
Page 14
Herald Union
He’ll do.”
I do relish
the diversity of
the people in
Southern California. Hispanic, Asian,
African, Indian
and traditional
American cultures blend
into one place,
yielding an exciting mix of
food and entertainment.
While both the
United States
and Germany
have great
food and drink
choices, I feel
American diversity gives
its cuisine the
edge. Give me
an American steak or an In-N-Out
hamburger over the German version.
But I still haven’t found an
American restaurant that can beat
German schnitzel. I stopped by a
place called “Wienerschnitzel” that
didn’t serve any schnitzel — just
hot dogs on a stick and hot dogs on
a bun. When it comes to drinks, I’ll
take a German Pils over an American
beer, and a German Riesling over a
Chardonnay, but California wines
beat German Dornfelders and other
German reds.
When it comes to traffic, it’s a
draw. While I like driving as fast
as I want on a German autobahn
without tolls, the multi-hour traffic
jams are not fond memories. Traffic
jams in my part of California are
slow-downs, not two-hour complete
stops. I don’t enjoy the California
law that allows motorcycles to pass
between full lanes of cars, or the toll
roads. And while seven-lane high
ways help, I don’t like the “all lanes
equal” concept where drivers pass
you on the left or right.
Other comparisons? When I left
Germany, I traded my overseas housing and post allowances and largely
tax-free status for California’s taxes
on just about everything except flossing. In Germany I’d shop and wonder
if anyone worked there other than a
cashier. In the United States I walk in
and two or three “associates” battle
to be my new best friend.
There is another side to the
courtesy thing. When I first came
to California I thought the people
were more respectful than they were
in Germany. They called me “sir” a
lot. But, as I now know, “sir” is just
code for “Wow, I’ll bet you’re older
than the golden hills.”
So how do I think Germany
compares with California? Well,
for me, life is about experiencing
the now, not missing the yesterday
or dreaming of the tomorrow. You
should totally and completely throw
yourself into enjoying wherever you
are. Sure, I miss Germany. I wish I
could take the parts of Germany I
love and mix them into California.
Part of the reason I stayed 26
years and would have stayed longer
is that I picked up the ultimate souvenir: my German wife, Brigitte. Add
to that my then 14-year-old daughter
and 19-year-old son who were both
going to German schools.
While it has been challenging for
the kids to leave life-long friends and
learn in English, they’re doing fine.
We’re happy to be together in the
exciting “foreign” land of California

Mthana, a 1-214th Aviation Regiment spouse originally from South

candidates from eight countries who

U.S. Ambassador to Germany John

“This is a special moment for me;

said Emerson, whose mother was
a naturalized citizen from Canada.
“They say you are born into your
family but you choose your friends;
by the same token, you were born into
your native country but you chose to
become citizens of the United States.
Beyond that, some of you chose to
fight in the military before you were
even a citizen. That is an extraordinary
accomplishment.”
