Creek Defender: training for deployment

Volume 33, number 22 Creek Defender: training for deployment by Senior Airmen Kenny Holston and Amanda Dick Ramstein Public Affairs Photos by Senior Airman Levi Riendeau Staff Sgt. Justin Gonzalez, 31st Security Forces Squadron, Aviano Air Base, Italy, storms the second floor of a building after taking down a defending insurgent during Creek Defender May 15 in Baumholder, Germany. Students attend Creek Defender Regional Training Center to hone and sharpen skills learned through previous training in preparation for upcoming deployments. BAUMHOLDER, Germany — Moving from building to building, clearing rooms, securing and detaining opposition forces and covering danger zones, security forces members put into practice what they learned at the Creek Defender Regional Training Center. The goal of the two-week-long course, which began May 10 and ended May 24, was to train and prepare security forces Airmen in the tactics and war fighting methods being used in today’s War on Terror. “We’re training at Creek Defender for deployments downrange,” said Tech. Sgt. Mervin Perez, a 569th U.S. Forces Police Squadron member acting as fire leader for team two during the training. “We’ve got people here going to various areas downrange and we’re honing our skills.” See TRAINING, Page 7 21st TSC sets up living area in Normandy Western Europe to be liberated by the Allies. In order to get the living support area at Sainte Mere Eglise ready for the arriving Soldiers, it took a lot of coordination between the Soldiers, contractors and the locals. “There was a lot of cooperation between the German contractors, the French citizens here and the Soldiers.

The area is set up to accommodate 700 to 800 Soldiers. It is a fully functional facility with a dining facility. The area will also have a fully functional aid station. The aid station will be staffed with 10 medics, a battalion surgeon from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team and an internal 13th CMSAF visits graduating NCOs, Page 5 medicine doctor. For many, supporting the D-Day veterans is the most important part of the commemoration. “This is the first time (the) 21st TSC has been tasked to do this,” said Gerhard Mehrbreier, equipment specialist with Theater Logistics Support Center - Europe. “I’m glad to be a part of it and that I was given an opportunity to be a part of it.” (Courtesy of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command) SPORTS SAINTE MERE EGLISE, France — Soldiers and contractors from the 21st Theater Sustainment Command began arriving in Sainte Mere Eglise, France, May 17 to set up the living area for the hundreds of Soldiers who will be arriving for the 65th commemoration of D-Day. The Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944, in what is now known as D-Day.

Bacon: Thank you, Team Ramstein Commentary by Col. Don Bacon 435th Air Base Wing commander This one member of the Flamingo Wing is grateful to all of you! I thank the 7,574 Fight’n Flamingos – the “Swift and Sure Wing” – for a wonderful year as your commander. You are our nation’s very best citizens and I’ve been tremendously honored to serve with, and for, each one of you. I always had the utmost confidence that with the dedication, smarts and character of each Flamingo in our wing, we would overcome every challenge and crush every task thrown our way; this team never failed and continually achieved mission excellence. The 435th Air Base Wing has much to be proud of as we look back on the past year. We formed an iron-clad team with our 86th Airlift Wing brothers and sisters and vastly improved our performance in readiness, mission support to all of Team Ramstein’s units, customer service, dormitories and force protection. We helped stand-up the new 17th Air Force and the 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing, completed more than two-thirds of the 888 housing units projected for construction and opened the new aquatics center and dualbay hangar. And, after incredibly hard work, the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center will open its doors for business in just a few weeks. Partnering with the 86th AW, we earned an “Excellent” rating during the unit compliance inspection and conducted operational readiness exercises each quarter as we started to prepare for an operational readiness inspection in 2010. Furthermore, we continued to provide first-rate care to more than 12,200 wounded warriors with more than 7,800 of these patriots coming from Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. Our Joint Mobility Processing Center remained vital to our overseas contingency operations, deploying more than 25,000 warriors to defeat terrorists and support our national objectives. And, we emphasized our physical readiness and raised our average fitness test score by two points across the wing. I was tickled to see our fitness program was named an Air Force “Best Practice” this past week. While I realize these accomplishments just scratch the surface, I also know they’ve helped make our nation stronger and made liberty and human dignity a larger reality throughout the world. If I took just my share of the credit for all we’ve accomplished, that would still be too much. We were also enabled by the great partnership and hospitality we receive from our host nation, as well as the support we received from the 86th AW, 521st AMOW and other Team Ramstein partners. Angie and I are grateful that we get to remain at Ramstein, supporting the U.S. Air Forces in Europe mission and living in this wonderful country. You can bet the Bacons will always be proud Flamingos and will always remember the wonderful wingmen at Ramstein and the 435 ABW and the superb hospitality all our Airmen receive from the local community. I’m very proud of each and every one of you. Thank you, for your “Swift and Sure” service to our nation. Editors note: Colonel Bacon will relinquish command of the 435 ABW to Col. Tom “Elliot” Gould Thursday. Colonel Bacon will remain at Ramstein as the deputy to the Third Air Force commander. AADD aims at keeping members safe, DUI numbers down by Senior Airman Amanda Dick Ramstein Public Affairs With all the recent events involving driving under the influence of alcohol happening around U.S. Air Forces in Europe and the KMC, Team Ramstein should remember to have a plan in place when going out on the town.

Col. Mark Gaubert said he realized what he had learned as a squadron commander. His three-and-a-half years in the 309th Airlift Squadron all came down to what he witnessed in one day. While he and his family were preparing to depart Chièvres, Belgium, he noticed a group of servicemembers and their families who had given their time to cook meals for guests at their hotel. They were strangers to most, but they weren’t strangers to Colonel Gaubert. He looked around and saw numerous 309th Airmen and families scattered about the church group. Then, moments later, he saw another Airman delivering an armful of groceries to a newcomer who had just arrived to the unit. “I learned the soul of the 309th Airlift Squadron and the power of that soul,” he said. He reflected back on how the generosity he saw that day was evident every day in the 309th. “Firefighters will work long 12-hour shifts and then get up the next morning to work four Memorial Day ceremonies,” Colonel Gaubert said. He said he also saw families take care of their children all day and then go and teach others a class on financial readiness. “You always find time to dig deeper to help others,” Colonel Gaubert told his unit during his change of command ceremony May 26. “It speaks to the soul of our Air Force, our military, our joint coalition team. Keep doing what you’re doing. Maintain your soul.” Like his Airmen and their families, Colonel Gaubert also put his heart and soul into the unit, said Col. Jon Thomas, 86th Operations Group commander. And Colonel Gaubert’s performance as a leader went even further, Colonel Thomas said. “Commanders are measured not by their personal deeds alone, but instead by success of their units. That is where the true story is told,” Colonel Thomas said before presenting Colonel Gaubert with a Meritorious Service Medal. Colonel Thomas said the 309th Airlift Squadron achieved perfection in the accomplishment of its mission, which is to provide airlift to the supreme allied commander, Europe and airfield support to SHAPE. “ Lt. Col. Mark Gaubert passes the 309th Airlift Squadron colors to Col. Jon Thomas as incoming commander Lt. Col. Michael Dickinson stands ready to take command. He added that the unit also performed outstanding on inspection visits and partnered with the Royal Netherlands Air Force in a training first for the U.S. military. “Success in such an environment requires teamwork at all levels from the Airmen to the commander,” Colonel Thomas said. After the unit presented Colonel Gaubert with a final salute, with the SACEUR’s plane peering through the hangar doors in the background, Lt. Col. Michael Dickinson, the unit’s former director of operations and deputy commander, assumed command of the unit. “Lieutenant Colonel Dickinson has proven dedication and judgment. He’s up for the challenge,” Colonel Thomas said. With a mix of humor and instant leadership and direction, Colonel Dickinson addressed the Airmen. “I’m thrilled to be up here,” he said. “This is the third best day of my life.” The other two best days were his parents’ wedding day and the day his wife said she would marry him, he said. After a few laughs and many thanks to his family and Belgian friends who attended the ceremony, Colonel Dickinson immediately laid out his guidance and five leadership priorities. Commanders are measured not by their personal deeds alone, but instead by success of their units. That is where the true story is told.” “First, I have very high expectations of you, and I’m going to hold you to those standards,” he said, adding that the unit already performs at a standard of perfection. “Second, your families are important to me because they’re important to you. Next, empowerment is critical. I believe every Airman in this command can be a leader.” He also said he wants to strive to improve processes and plans to live his life according to the core values. “I’m ready to get to work for you guys,” he told the unit before they presented their first salute to him as the commander. Colonel Thomas told Colonel Dickinson he should lead the unit with passion and lead them with compassion. “We’re saying goodbye to one of our commanders, but we’re continuing the tradition of excellence with another commander,” he said.

Frank Sanchez III 21st TSC Public Affairs Twenty-first Theater Sustainment Command Soldiers tested their skills with two different German weapon systems at a German military marksmanship range May 27 in Idar-Oberstein, earning a “Schützenschnur,” or marksmanship award. Soldiers from the German Joint Support Command trained and certified more than 50 Soldiers from the Special Troops Battalion, 21st TSC, on the German P8 9 millimeter pistol and the MG 3v 7.62 millimeter machine gun. “The German Soldiers were real friendly and real patient with us,” said Sgt. Ryan Buerger, a human resource specialist for the 21st TSC. “They were very informative about the weapons, about their mechanics and how to engage the targets.” The Schützenschnur award consists of a silver colored rope with a round metal badge near the top. The center of the badge displays the German eagle surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, which is a symbol of the Bundeswehr, the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. More than 50 U.S. Soldiers took part in the partnership range, which lasted all day and concluded with a barbecue. A brief ceremony was held at the end of the day to award the Soldiers who earned their Shützenschnur badges. The Soldiers said they enjoyed the overall event and hope it will not be the last one they get to participate in. The Schützenschnur dates back to 1996, when there was a continuing partnership with the former German Army Support Command and the then 21st Theater Army Area Command, which was the predecessor to the 21st Theater Support Command and the current 21st TSC. was the issue of having integrity with troops. “The chief said first and foremost, we can pass down integrity to the Airmen,” he said. “If we make sure to show integrity, then that’s going to show our troops the right way to act in the military. So, always do what’s right, even if it’s the hard decision.” While at Kapaun, Chief Finch said he hoped to give perspective to the future senior NCOs about the issues they’re facing today. “More than anything else, I think it’s helpful to have someone like us add perhaps a little bit of behindthe-scenes information to what was going on and what the thought processes were that made some of the decisions for today’s policies,” he said. “I think it’s always helpful for not only the current chief master sergeant of the Air Force, but also the formers to help add perspective from their era.” Chief Finch, whose background is in missile maintenance and professional military education, entered the Air Force in July 1974 and went on to become the 13th CMSAF on Aug. 2, 1999. He retired from active-duty on July 1, 2002. Page 6 Kaiserslautern American June 5, 2009 Fokker’s Final Fighter ... by Dr. Marshall Michel 86th Airlift Wing historian During World War I, Dutch aircraft designer Anthony Fokker provided the German air force with the synchronized machine gun and several outstanding fighters, including the Fokker E.1 (Fokker Scourge), the Fokker Triplane flown by the Red Baron, Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, and the Fokker D. VII. After the war, Fokker returned to Holland where he formed a new aircraft company and continued to design and build a variety of excellent aircraft, including the Fokker A G.1 is seen here in flight.

While tests showed the G.1 was an excellent The D XXI was intended mainly for export sales and for overseas service in the Royal Netherlands fighter, as usual, the Dutch air force only ordered East Indies Army Air Force. It proved to be an a small number of G.1s – 36 – to equip two excellent fighter during the early part of the war, squadrons. Once again, to make production financially especially when used by the Finnish Air Force in viable, Fokker relied on a large number of export their Winter War against the Soviet Union. But the most advanced fighter the company orders: Finland ordered 262, Sweden ordered produced – and a truly world class combat aircraft 182 and Spain ordered 253, but powered by the American Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp Junior – was the G.1 (“Groot,” large) heavy fighter. The G.1 was a very modern, twin engine, twin engine. In September 1939, when World War II began, boom, multirole monoplane with retractable landing gear and a crew of three carried in a central a total of 26 G.1s were operational in the 3rd pod.

Since Holland was Air Show, where it received rave reviews from aggressively neutral at this point, the G.1s were actively involved in border patrols, and on March the international press for its advanced design.

Photo from the author’s collection Royal Air Force Whitley bomber returning from a bombing mission over Germany. Unfortunately for the G.1 squadrons, when the Germans attacked Holland on May 10 the bases where the G.1s were based were a high priority target. At Bergen, German bombers swept in from the sea and caught the base by surprise, destroying 11 of the 12 G.1s there. Waalhaven was luckier and got eight out of 11 G.1s into the air, where they shot down 13 German aircraft, including a number of Ju-52s carrying paratroopers. Just one G.1 was lost in combat, but once they landed they were attacked again on the ground and only four survived the first day. It was a sad end for one of the finest fighters in the world when it was developed. While the single heavy twin engine fighter idea proved flawed early in the war, such aircraft – notably the German Bf 110 – proved extremely useful as multirole combat aircraft throughout the war. The G.1, with its large central compartment, had the room for early airborne radar sets and would have almost certainly been an outstanding night fighter.

June 5, 2009 TRAINING, from Page 1 All of the students have gone through some form of training before, such as clearing buildings, so the training they received at Creek Defender built upon what they already learned. “We have 21 core tasks we train on,” said Master Sgt. Robert Rabjohn, 786th Security Forces Squadron superintendent of operations for the regional training center Creek Defender. “For example, this training in the military operations on urban terrain village is where we train for urban operations and urban warfare. They learn all the techniques for react to contact, entering and exiting dynamics, entrances and weapons discipline.” Though the course was a strenuous one and the weather was sometimes uncooperative, the students realized the importance of the training. “Regardless of how the weather is, our main focus is to adapt to whatever surroundings we’re in,” Sergeant Perez said. “The training teaches us, if anything, to adapt to our environment.” As with most training courses, trainers were on hand to critique and give instructions. “The cadre are doing really well,” the fire team “ Creek Defender has a staff of cadre that is second to none in my opinion because of their experience, desire and drive to get the job done ...” Kaiserslautern American leader said. “If we mess up, the cadre let us know. If we do all right, they don’t let our heads get big. They let us know, ‘hey, good job, but you could have done this.’” Not only did the training provide the students with an opportunity to improve their skills, but it also gave them an idea of what they could expect downrange. “We use training aids, such as smoke and opposition forces all dressed up to show what the troops going into these deployed locations could face when they’re in country so they get an understanding of what they can expect,” Sergeant Rabjohn said. Overall, Sergeant Rabjohn said he thinks Creek Defender training is “invaluable and has proven itself time and again to be worth the effort.” But what made the training invaluable? “Creek Defender has a staff of cadre that is second to none in my opinion because of their experience, desire and drive to get the job done and teach it right,” the superintendent said. “I think training the students here is something any one of us is going to consider the highlight of our career.” Page 7 Staff Sgt.

Page 8 Kaiserslautern American June 5, 2009 86th AMXS performs on-the-spot maintenance to keep mission going 86th AMXS maintainers keep aging C-130 fleet in the air Story and photos by Senior Airman Kenny Holston Ramstein Public Affairs W ith the constant hum of C-130 engines, the smell of JP-8 jet fuel and a long stretch of flightline, 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron maintainers are right at home working on Ramstein’s C-130 fleet. The slogan “pull the chalks, maintenance rocks,” displayed on the front of Bldg. 2220, shows the 86th AMXS has one goal – keeping Ramstein’s aging C-130 fleet flying high to support whatever mission lies ahead. The 86th AMXS is unique in that they don’t just perform routine maintenance; 86th AMXS personnel are in direct support of launching and recovering C-130 Hercules aircraft and ensuring any maintenance necessary can be performed at a moment’s notice. “Conducting a mission like ours keeps us on our toes,” said Staff Sgt. Giovanni Bosch, 86th AMXS crew chief. “We keep planes in the air and have the capabilities and the know-how to perform maintenance on them with very little notice.” While the majority of personnel are divided into two different fields – crew chiefs and specialists – their goals are the same. “Crew chiefs and specialists are two different breeds of animal, but we are all striving to reach the same result,” said Staff Sgt. Patrick Harrower, 86th AMXS communication navigation specialist. “That goal is to keep each aircraft mission-ready.” The No. 1 focus for 86th AMXS members is being prepared for emergency situations, also referred to as a “red ball.” A red ball is any maintenance issue that comes up prior to an aircraft launch or during flight. “Red ball issues automatically become top priority for us,” Sergeant Harrower said. “Problems such as these are why we must stay alert and ready. If we are not on our game, it’s possible that whatever mission that aircraft is supporting may suffer.” Not only does the 86th AMXS take care of Ramstein’s C-130 fleet, it also has the responsibility of maintaining the 86th Airlift Wing commander’s C-130. “Being trusted to maintain Brig. Gen. (Bill) Bender’s C-130 is an honor,” Sergeant Bosch said. “This aircraft was made in 1964, so it can be challenging to maintain from time to time. But we are Maintainers with the 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron walk off the Ramstein flightline after performing maintenance on a C-130 Hercules May 8. Staff Sgt. Giovanni Bosch, 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron crew chief, performs a pre-flight inspection on a C-130 Hercules May 8 on Ramstein. always up for the task.” The job the 86th AMXS members perform also directly affects the mission of 37th Airlift Squadron pilots. “We really rely and lean on the 86th AMXS folks,” said Capt. Dick Janssen, 37th Airlift Squadron C-130 pilot. “They keep 40-plusyear-old planes flying-worthy. It’s definitely a very difficult task and they do it extremely well.” The 86th AMXS conducts aroundthe-clock maintenance. “Those guys are constantly out performing 24-hour operations, ensuring the aircraft are ready for each mission,” Captain Janssen said. “There’s no way we could fly without them doing the great job they do.” Though performing 24-hour operations is demanding, these Airmen are proud of what they do. “These maintainers are constantly performing their duties in all types of weather without complaint,” said Master Sgt. Jon Welch, 86th AMXS first sergeant. “Rain or shine, they get the job done, but even with such a work load, everyone’s spirits are always high. We all take great pride in the job we do.” With one of Ramstein’s biggest missions being the C-130 flying mission, 86th AMXS maintainers respect and understand the vast importance of their role in making the mission possible. “If we didn’t perform the tasks we do, Ramstein would be at a standstill,” Sergeant Harrower said. “Our job is strenuous and we put a lot of selfless hours in, but getting to see our efforts triumph when each aircraft takes off is all worth it.” June 5, 2009 Kaiserslautern American Page 9 Page 10 Kaiserslautern American June 5, 2009 617th AOC activates at Ramstein Story and photo by Master Sgt. Jim Fisher 17th Air Force Public Affairs Seventeenth Air Force took another big step toward full operational capability Friday with the activation of the 617th Air and Space Operations Center. The new AOC gives 17th AF, also known as Air Forces Africa, an increased command and control capability, integral to its function as the air component for U.S. Africa Command. Since 17th AF declared initial operational capability Oct. 1, 2008, command and control has been conducted by the Command and Control Center, or C2C – a precursor to the AOC. Col. Andy Redmond, who led the C2C, became the 617th AOC commander during Friday’s activation. He said that while funding and resources are a challenge, the group of people running the new unit will make sure of its success. “We are looking for ways to get what we need to make sure our capabilities are state of the art and that we have access to all the tools necessary to execute command and control of the air domain for U.S. Africa Command,” Colonel Redmond said. “We have an excellent group of people, and they’ve done a great job making our C2C run, and they’ll do a great job to make our Air and Space Operations Center run.” The colonel said that while about 60 people are now on-station in the AOC, 17th AF officials expect to have about 130 on board around Oct. 1, when 17th AF is expected to declare full operational capability. The expanding team will not only execute overall command and control for 17th AF, but flight-following and support of U.S. air operations within the African area of activity. A combination of Air Force specialties comprises the center, including but not limited to command and control, communications and intelligence. “We are building a complete air picture for Africa, which includes acquiring new systems, training and continuing to build on relationships with partner units,” Colonel Redmond said. As Colonel Redmond’s AOC continues to build and expand in personnel and capacity, he said they will continue to rely on partners like the 603rd Air and Space Operations Center. The 603rd AOC has a similar role for 3rd Air Force under U.S. Air Forces in Europe and U.S. European Command. Before 17th AF stood up, they were also responsible for operations in Africa. “The 603rd has been outstanding since 17th Air Force stood up last October, and we Seventeenth Air Force Commander Maj.

Adrienne Killingsworth 18th Military Police Brigade Public Affairs NORMANDY, France — When it comes time to honor the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who fought and died supporting the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, 65 years ago, thousands will flock to the shores of Utah Beach and Omaha Beach to pay homage. To honor these troops, the 18th Military Police Brigade was designated to plan, coordinate and conduct all U.S. support to the Normandy ceremonies. Col. Thomas P. Evans, 18th MP Bde. commander, has been oversee- ing the command and control of the ceremonies as the task force commander. More than 700 Soldiers will be participating in the ceremonies that began Wednesday. Maintaining such a large number of Soldiers and coordinating with other military branches and foreign officials requires a large level of dedication and attention to detail. Master Sgt. Michael Weatherholt, operations sergeant major for the18th MP Bde., praised the Soldiers’ work. “The Soldiers of the brigade from junior to senior levels have all done a spectacular job from initial planning to where we are today with the execution of ceremonies,” he said. “This being a highly visible mission, everyone knows their part and is conducting their duties superbly.” To make the mission a successful one, the brigade has had to coordinate from headquarters in Germany to France. Town mayors, cemetery directors and the French Gendarmerie have all supported the brigade in its planning. Having the opportunity to bring together U.S. Army Europe units with historic units like the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) to pay tribute to the veterans is something the brigade is honored to be a part of, Master Sergeant Weatherholt said. Despite the logistical difficulties of planning and conducting such a large operation, the opportunity to pay their respects to the veterans has been a driving force for the brigade in making this “the most professional event to show our gratitude to our veterans for what they did many years ago,” he said. The brigade has had support and collaboration from other units to make sure everything falls into place. “We couldn’t have done it without the support of all the other units that were tasked to assist,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Brenda Curfman, the command sergeant major of the 18th MP Bde. June 5, 2009 Kaiserslautern American Page 11 Single Soldier Day Spc.

RHS holds volunteer ceremony by Felicia Gonzalez Ramstein High School Ramstein High School hosted a ceremony May 13 to recognize volunteers who have devoted a great deal of their time to the school. “The ceremony was developed to let volunteers know that their work is appreciated,” said Dr. Bobbie Donald, who organized the event. Dr. Donald said she liked being part of the event because it was a way of saying, “thank you.” “The whole process was really exciting, and doing it just gave me so much joy,” she said. The ceremony hosted more than 100 attendees, including volunteers from the school’s Parent Teacher Student Association, the community and the school’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, among others. Other attendees were Ramstein High School’s principal Greg Hatch, who made the closing remarks. The school’s athletic director Nathan Brewster was also in attendance. “The event had such a great turnout and there was enthusiasm all around,” Dr. Donald said. Dr. Donald organized the event with help from Bryan Sanchez, Jessica Tucker, Marilyn Lightle, Mary Ressner and Thomas Goode. The preparation consisted of creating invites, certificates, programs and providing guests with entertainment. Entertainment was provided by the school’s show choir and JROTC. Every recognized volunteer received a certificate and a special gift, picked and bought by Dr. Donald herself. The PTSA also contributed monetary support for the ceremony. “Without the time and dedication put into the event, the turnout would not have been the same,” Dr. Donald said. “Whenever I do something, I want to give it 150 percent.” Overall, the event was a huge success, recognizing many deserving volunteers and reminding them they are truly appreciated.

Docu Center in Ramstein shows history of civil rights by Petra Lessoing Ramstein Public Affairs The Docu Center Ramstein sponsors a special exhibition about the African-American civil rights movement until July 19 in the Museum im Westrich in Ramstein-Miesenbach. The exhibition, called “The Civil Rights Struggle, African American GIs, and Germany,” shows the connection between the U.S. military presence abroad and the advancement of civil rights in the United States. It presents the first results of a joint research initiative of the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C., Vassar College (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.), and the Heidelberg Center for American Studies in cooperation with the Docu Center Ramstein. Between 1945 and the end of the Cold War, about 15 to 20 million American Soldiers, families and civilian employees lived in Germany. Two to 3 million of these were African-American. The joint research initiative investigated the role African-American GIs played in carrying the civil rights movement to Germany, which was host to the largest contingent of U.S. troops deployed outside the states. “The Civil Rights Struggle exhibition consists of brief texts and historical black and white photos,” said Michael Geib, chief of the Docu Center Ramstein. “We hope to lure many Americans and especially school classes, who should learn about this time.” The Museum im Westrich is located at Miesenbacher Strasse 1. Opening hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays and 2 to 6 p.m. Sundays.

June 5, 2009 Kaiserslautern American Page 21 by Petra Lessoing Ramstein Public Affairs oman-Catholics in Germany and some other European countries observe “Fronleichnam,” or Corpus Christi Day, Thursday. It’s a religious festival that is celebrated 10 days after Pentecost. In some, but not all, German states, Fronleichnam is an official holiday. Stores, banks and official institutions are closed in Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, Baden-Würrtemberg, Hessen, Bayern, in some communities in Saxony and Thüringen and in areas with a mainly Catholic population. The word “Fronleichnam” derives from old German and corresponds to the Latin word “Corpus Domini,” Body of the Lord. In 1264, Pope Urban IV ordered the entire Catholic church to observe the feast of Corpus Christi. The fest commemorates Christ’s Last Supper the day before he died. It honors the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Nowadays, the church holiday is a colorful event that includes solemn processions through the streets, which are decorated with flowers, little birch trees and church banners. Four altars are set up on the procession route to symbolize the four stops on Christ’s way to the cross, known as the “Stations of the Cross.” A priest leads the procession and carries the Holy of Holies under a baldachin. Then the ministrants, communion children of that year and worshippers follow. At the altars, the procession stops and participants say a prayer. The procession is accompanied by singing and usually ends at a church or a public place, where an open-air worship service is conducted. Courtesy photo 21st TSC holds events to celebrate APAH Month Story and photo by Sgt. Frank Sanchez III 21st TSC Public Affairs Soldiers, civilians and family members from the KMC celebrated Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month May 28 in the Kaiserslautern Community Activities Center in order to continue a tradition that goes back at least a century. The 21st Theater Sustainment Command hosted this year’s event by arranging an event-filled ceremony that displayed a wide variety of events ranging from dances, martial arts and even a ukulele concert from several local organizations around the Army and Air Force community. Linda Pangilinan, from the U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern Civilian Personnel Advisory Center, and Master Sgt. Garrett K. Gardner, 21st TSC equal opportunity adviser, helped welcome all the guests and participants to the event. “If one thing we have learned from the lessons of the past is that color, race, gender, cannot be used as a gauge or discriminator when predicting honor, dedication and service,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Micheal Clowser, senior enlisted adviser to the Falcon Observer Controller Team, Joint Multinational Readiness Center, in Hohenfels, Germany. Performances were given by the Ukulele Boys, Michele Camacho, the Thai Dancers and a martial arts demonstration was given by the 435th Morale Welfare and Readiness youth programs. “This event lets the military community know that we are filled with diverse culture,” said Ms. Pangilinan about the importance of holding this kind of event. The month of May was chosen to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843, and to mark the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. President George H.W. Bush signed an extension making the week-long celebration into a month-long celebration. In 1992, the official designation of May as Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month was signed into law. Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated in May to commemorate the contributions of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent in the United States. Two Thai dancers perform a traditional Thai dance at the Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month ceremony May 28 in the Kaiserslautern Community Activities Center. 8K8JK<F=<LIFG< K?I<<D<8CJ#K?I<<:FLEKI@<J 8CC@EFE<;8P gcljj`^_kj\\`e^Xe[j_fgg`e^ FECP€/0g\ig\ijfe _ <e^c`j ^ `e jg\Xb \ >l`[ YourTours.eu 0 6 3 75 8 0 9 3 3 0 :8CCLJ=FIDFI<@E=FID8K@FE Page 22 Kaiserslautern American June 5, 2009 USAG-K focus groups bridge customers’ voice by Christine June USAG Kaiserslautern U.S Army Garrison Kaiserslautern customers have the power to improve community services, and they did so May 12 during the first retiree focus group. A garrison customer is anyone who lives, works or plays on Army installations in the KMC, said Emma Vinson, the garrison’s customer service officer. “I feel this focus group has a potential to develop and improve services for our retirees and their families,” said Don Gwinn, the garrison’s civilian misconduct officer, who attended the first focus group. Quarterly focus groups, known as Community FIRST (Feedback, Issues, Resolutions, Solutions, Today), are the third approach to the Installation Management Command’s new Customer Management Services. This program started in the KMC in October and is one of four IMCOM-Europe garrisons to implement the CMS program. This new program is a process that provides U.S. Army Garrison commanders with the voice of the customer. It’s a way for IMCOM to get Army services to a level of dependability and predictability throughout the Army, Mrs. Vinson said. “So, as families go from installation to installation, the quality of services is something they can rely on,” she said. How these Community FIRST focus groups fit into this process is as a bridge between the Department of Defense Web-based customer feedback system known as ICE (Interactive Customer Evaluation) and the communityinput route for Army Leadership known as AFAP (Army Family Action Plan). A brainchild of spouses, AFAP is an Armywide program that gives all members of the team – active-duty and retired military, family members and civilian employees – a chance to voice concerns and raise issues to leadership. Mrs. Vinson describes ICE as a “conversation” because customers can log in complaints or compliments about a particular service and service providers respond to that issue. This conversation is the first approach in the new CMS program. “Community FIRST focus groups are a bridge between these two processes because people can address issues that affect more than the individual without having to go higher than the garrison for resolution,” Mrs. Vinson said. One example Mrs. Vinson cited is an issue that was discussed in the family member focus group held during the second quarter of this fiscal year. The issue was to have more flexible hours at the garrison’s child development centers for Family Readiness Group meetings. Under the Army Family Covenant, the garrison centers were providing child care for FRG meetings one Thursday night per month at each of the locations on Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Miesau Army Depot and Kleber Kaserne. During the focus group, it was discussed that this schedule was hard for some FRGs to use, so the group asked the garrison’s Child, Youth and School Services to be more flexible when accommodating these meetings. The answer back from CYSS was if the FRGs let the particular center know what dates they needed with enough notice and children, then the CDCs could accommodate their meetings. “By having this focus group, it lets the families know that they could ask this question and it lets the CYSS know some of the FRGs needed that flexibility,” Mrs. Vinson said. That’s why having these focus groups are so important, she said. “Focus groups allow garrison-level issues to come forth and be resolved and give garrison customers a way to be involved in improving the services they need for an equitable quality of life,” Mrs. Vinson said. Mrs. Vinson’s goal is to have two to three focus groups per quarter, except the quarter that the garrison is hosting AFAP. Mrs. Vinson has held focus groups for Warrior Transition Unit Soldiers, family members, retirees and reservists. In the future, she will be holding focus groups for active-duty, DOD civilians and teens. Mr. Gwinn said he felt the retiree focus group discussed some important and relevant issues that may not have been brought up in other customer feedback programs. “Every retiree has a different and unique problem that needs to be assessed to see if something can be done about it,” he said. Issues from the focus groups that can’t be resolved at the local level gets turned over to the garrison to be included in the next AFAP, Mrs. Vinson said. “This helps the AFAP process because it weeds out some of the issues that can be resolved at the garrison, which allows them to be resolved sooner and generates more of the larger issues to be discussed and prioritized at the AFAP conference,” she said. Dates of this year’s focus groups are listed on the garrison’s Web site at www. kaiserslautern.army.mil. Issue sheets can also be downloaded and submitted from this site. For details, call Mrs. Vinson at 493-4241 or 06313-406-4241. Hidden away in the beautiful, rolling hills behind Vogelweh’s Pulaski Barracks lies the 435th Services Rod & Gun Club. Unfortunately, with it’s somewhat concealed, woodsy location, some KMC members don’t even realize it exists. Having served the KMC for decades with many outdoor activities, the new staff and great management would like to make the community more aware of the goings-on this season by offering an array of events and classes to suit any palate. Getting the season off to a great start is the opening of the renovated speedball court. With new bunkers and polished turf, we are ready for this year’s tournament season. On the heels of a failed attempt by German politicians to ban paintball in Germany, the 435th Services Rod & Gun Club is thrilled to still offer this high action, extreme sport to the KMC. With two speedball courts, five woodsball fields and one airsoft field, no matter what form of play you prefer, you will find it at the Rod & Gun Club. We invite all avid paintball players and beginners alike to join the fun this weekend and help launch the new season on the newly renovated speedball court. The Rod & Gun Club has some amazing events planned for the community, so come shoot, hunt and fish your way through the summer. For more information, call the Rod & Gun Club at 489-7274 or 0631-536-7274. Look for an event calendar coming soon.
