Army Air compfles decade of safety
by D.J. Montoya
WSMR's Army Air Operations Direc-.
torate (AAOD), based at Holloman Air
Force Base, recently celebrated a decade
free of major accidents.
On Dec. 26, AAOD, commanded by Lt. 1
Col. V.T. Drake, completed 10 years
without a serious accident, during which
time its aircraft flew more than 50,000
hours. AAOD's 1982 record of safe flying
contrasts with the overall Army record
of 86 aviation deaths, the most since
1973.
•
AAOD's mission is to provide air support for the missile range's operations
and organizations. "The type of mission
performed by AAOD is potentially dangerous," said 1st Lt. Hans Kallan, safety
officer at AAOD.
Kallan said AAOD operates in a geographic area with potential flight hazards
which range from intense heat on the
desert floor to sub-freezing temperatures
on wooded and snowcapped mountains.
The seasonal high winds at the range,
'together with the jagged relief of the
mountain ranges, can threaten aircraft
operation in the local area.

WSMR to get guest house
Plans are under way to construct a
guest house for visiting families and relatives of military personnel at WSMR. The
facility will also serve as temporary
housing for personnel reporting to duty
without assigned housing. The house will
be located on Hof Street, west of the
NCO/Enlisted Club.
''The house will be a 15-unit facility
with room enough for a flexible amount of
people," explained Terry Stipe, architect
at the Master Planning Branch, Facilities
Engineering Directorate. "Families will
be our prime concern as well an individuals," he said.
Construction of the dwelling is scheduled for March 1985 and will be completed
sometime in the fall of 1985. The estimated cost is $1.l million.
The single story building has been in
the planning stages since '1968. It will be
equipped with utilities (gas, water, sewer, and electricity), communications
equipment, sidewalks and parking lots.
As to concern about competition with
the motel/hotel industry in Las Cruces
and El Paso, Stipe termed the house as
"convenience rather than competition."
''A substantial number of people are
turned away from WSMR from lack of
temporary housing facilities as it is. We
predict that this will continue even after
this facility is completed. People are
concerned with their proximity to WSMR
when they stay here," he said.

individuals in no way connected with the Department of the Army. Opinions expressed by the
publisher and writers herein are their own and are not to be considered an official expression by
the Department of the Army.
Despite these obstacles AAOD has
managed to chalk up a number of safety
awards over the years.
From 1957 through 1980, AAOD received 10 Awards of Merit, four Awards
of Honor, and one Award of Excellence
for mishap-free operation.
The only blemishes on AAOD's
record have been minor accidents. However none of these were in the Class A or
B accident categories. One of the accidents was a wheels-up landing of a U-21
twin-engine airplane in December 1981.
The accident, caused by a system malfunction, resulted in only minor aircraft
damage due to the skill of the crew.
To be considered Class A, an accident
must result in at least $200,000 worth of
property damage, occupational illness
and injury, or result in one or more
deaths. To be Class B, an accident' must
result in property damage and occupational illness and injury costing at least
$50,000 but less than $200,000.
AAOD is staffed by 70 military and
civilian personnel. There are 17 pilots of
which five are civilian, who operate its
fleet of 17 rotary wing and two fixed-,
wing aircraft.
"Much of the responsibility for
AAOD's safety record lies with these 17
pilots," said Kallan. "Our pilots have
accumulated a total of 100,000 flight
hours. This ranges from a pilot who has
accumulated only 600 hours to one who
has logged 15,000 hours."
Another ingredient necessary to
AAOD's safety record is its maintenance
personnel, who make up the rest of the
directorate's personnel strength. These
individuals make sure the 10 OH-SS ob-.
servation and seven UH-lH utility heli-.
copters and two U-21s used by AAOD are
in top running condition before each
flight.
Because of dedication and team effort of AAOD's personnel Kallan said,
the directorate is able to perform a mission which includes transportation of
range personnel to various sites for set-.
up of missile firings, chase and recovery
of Air Force balloons, area evacuations
for missile firings, photography and missile recovery missions.
These tasks can often involve hazardous procedures such as performing
sling-load work when transporting equipment or low-level, high-speed operations.
Kallan said AAOD has another asset
working towards its safe operations -·
the range's command group. Members of
the command group which includes
WSMR Commander Maj. Gen. Niles
Fulwyler and Deputy Commander Col.
Daniel Duggan, take a personal interest
in AAOD's performance recorrd. The command group gives active support to the
aviation safety program with priority
placed on safety at all levels of operation.
Fulwyler recently conducted a range
Aviation Safety Awareness Day in which
the entire AAOD operation was put on
display and inspected by the general.
"Without all the experience under our
belts and the personal interest given by
the command group our accident rate
would not be what it is today,"said
Kallan.
With AAOD entering its 32nd year of
service at the missile range, Kallan concluded, "We're not pressured to do our
job carelessly. Instead we're pressured to
do our job safely.''

although it would make him late for work.
Glumly, he undid both locks on his front
door (plus the lock on his screen door),
and marched me up the three steps to
street level. I followed him to his driveway, which was shut off from the street
with a spiked iron gate. And a lock.
Once past the gate, we walked up the
driveway to Uncle Carmine's garage,
which was also locked. We opened the
garage door, and there was my car. It
was parked, by the way, next to another
car which belongs to a man who lives six
blocks from my uncle. This guy rents
space in my uncle's garage because he's
afraid to leave his car on the street. My
car, of course, was locked. I had also retracted the radio antenna at Uncle Carmine's urging. The idea that someone
would think of breaking through an iron
gate and a locked garage door just to snap
off my car antenna staggered me, but
my uncle had insisted.

Workaholic" Taylor gives MOS library facelift
by Connie Rankin
The WSMR Military Occupational
Speciality (MOS) library just underwent
a complete facelift. Responsible for the
task of updating the library was an Army
Communications Command soldier tem'porarily assigned as a librarian.
"I'm very hyperactive, so when I start
working I can't stop until they tell me to
quit," said Sp4 Faye Ann Taylor. "I
can't help it, but I even work while I eat
my lunch. My husband calls me a workaholic," she said.
During the four-month project Taylor,
Sp4 Debra Reed, and Patricia Young, incorporated literally thousands of changes
into the library publications, according to
Troop Command's CSM Noel Brown.
"It once again is a functional tool to help
WSMR soldiers in their careers," ht;
said.
Today WSMR military personnel preparing for skill qualification tests,
soldier of the month competitions, promotions, or other military career goals
can obtain study material from the
library.
The library's tech room offers various
technical tapes, video tapes, and microfiche. Now the center also offers study
classes. The MOS Library is open during
the work week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
" I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw
the regulation changes stacked as high as
the filing cabinet and as wide as a desk,''
said Taylor. "Some regulations, dating
back to the 1950s, were obsolete. I saw a
challenge and we had four months to
complete the job.''
Taylor entered the Army in April 1979
and completed her basic training at Fort
Gordon, Ga. Her first assignment was
in Heidelberg, Germany. She came to
WSMR in May 1982.
The hard-working soldier is a native of
Crystal Falls, Mo. She graduated from
Forest Park High School in 1977. Taylor
and her husband SSgt. Robert Taylor,
non-commissioned officer in charge
(NCOIC) at the U.S. Army Communications Command (USACC) communication
center, live in Chaparral. The Taylors
have a 2-year-old son, Richard Keith.
"We love this area," said Taylor. "We
decided to make this our home, so we
bought some land, set up a trailer, and
plan to raise our son here in New Mexico.

Bad check to ·AAFES to ·cost $15
Beginning March l, bad checks given
to the Army and Air Force Exchange
Services (AAFES) will cost $15. Last
year, one out of every 200 checks received
by AAFES cashiers bounced the first
time it was sent to the bank. Eventually,
90 percent of the checks were made good,
but the cost of handling ($14.93) and time
spent trying to get the money hurt other
funds. This cost decreased the amount
that AAFES was able to give to the
Morale, Welfare and Recreation funds of
the Army and Air Force.
Commander of AAFES, Maj. Gen.
Richard Murray, USAF, said the increase
in the surcharge for bad checks from $10
to S15 is to put the cost of recovering the
money where it belongs--on the bad
check passer and not on all of AAFES,
customers. AAFES' considered an
across-the-board service charge to cash
checks but they didn't want to penalize
all of their customers because of a few
who write bad checks. The increased surcharge for bad checks will cover AAFES'
costs and hopefully act as a deterrent to
those who take advantage of this service.

Copperhead receives high scores for reliability
by Jim Eckles
The Army's Copperhead projectile
achieved near perfect test scores in
recent tests at WSMR. Officials at the
Army Armament Research and Development Command (ARRADCOM) said 13
Copperhead projectiles were fired at the
missile range in October and November
1982. Twelve of the rounds scored hits,
for a reliability rate of 92 percent.
The Copperhead is a laser-guided
artillery projectile fired from 155mm
howitzers. In a typical operation, a forward observer, detecting an armored
advance, calls for Copperhead indirect
fire from an artillery position. During
projectile flight, the forward observer
designates the target with a laser beam.
The Copperhead's electro-optical seeker
locks onto the reflected light and homes
in on the target.
A computer aboard each Copperhead
round can adjust the flight path by moving fins mounted on the sides. Each
Copperhead can carry an anti-tank,
charge to a target at a range of about 10
miles. With its range, guidance, and warhead, Copperhead can deliver the knockout punch on the first blow.
At WSMR more than 750 Copperhead
rounqs have been fired. Some rounds
have carried live warheads while others
have carried instrumentation packages
used to measure performance. The
Copperhead is usually fired at plywood
panels. To test it in more realistic situations, it has also been fired against
stationary and moving tanks and under
differing weather conditions.
Col. .John Kronkaitis, project manager
for Copperhead at ARRADCOM, said
the impressive reliability results were
only one of the Copperhead's recent
achievements. Actions have been taken
with the contractor to assure stability for
the cost of each Copperhead round. "In
addition," he says, "most of our early
production problems have been solved
and deliveries of this advanced technology round have been on schedule."
A year ago Copperhead had production
problems and failed to reach an 80 percent reliability goal by last June. Consequently, the production program was
cancelled for Fiscal Year 1983 and
beyond. A reliability enhancement program was initiated. ARRADCOM officials said it realized immediate results.
Because of minor design changes, production process improvements, and
quality assurance efforts, Copperhead
has met all mission requirements, including reliability, since July. Current
high reliability scores have far exceeded
expectations.
Kronkaitis said he is hopeful that the
Copperhead program will be restored,
based on its latest achievements and a
strong user desire now that the system
is being fielded. He added that current production orders will continue deliveries through July 1984.
WSMR personnel working with the
Copperhead program include: Jack Dage
of Las Cruces, Army Materiel Test and
Evaluation directorate (ARMTE) project
engineer; Robert Stewart of El Paso,
assistant ARMTE project engineer and
Copperhead target engineer; Frank
Haught of Las Cruces, ARMTE test
conducter; Raul Castro of El Paso,
National Range Operations Directorate
(NR) project engineer and William Jones
of Las Cruces, NR project engineer.
A Co. soldier wins award
A WSMR soldier has received the
Commandant's Best Inspection Award
for the Primary Leadership Course held
at Fort Bliss. Sgt. Arthur Rodriguez,
assigned to A Company, attended the
course in November and December.
The award is based on military appearance, knowledge and bearing. Rodriguez
was selected from a group of 121 competitors from WSMR, Fort Bliss, and Fort
Huachuca, Ariz:
"I know Rodriguez was special when
he volunteered to be the parade guidon
bearer for the company," said Capt. John
Storm, A Company commander. ' 'This
award is extra special because we 're
dealing with a larger cross-section of
soldiers. It really means something to
win since he was judged by Fort Bliss
officers. As far as I know, no one from
WSMR has ever received this award
before," the captain said.
Sgt. Arthur Rodriguez
Rodriquez has been at WSMR sin·ce
August 1981. He works with the Army
Materiel Test and Evaluation Directorate
in the Land Combat Materiel Test Division on the Multiple Launch Rocket
System and Lance missiles.
The Stockton, Calif. native lives on post
with his wife Vanessa, and three-year-old
daughter Celina. His outside interests
include sports and low riders.

Before and after ·

and after hitting a tank target on

1982-83-CFC got less money,
but donatio.ns per person were up
WSMR military and civilian employees
contributed $84,432.97 to the 1982/83
Combined Federal Campaign. According
to Julius Zambardi, this year's CFC
chairperson, 2,213 employees made
contributions.
With less than half of the WSMR
workforce in the CFC, the average
pledge has risen from $20.26 to $38.15
this year. "Statistics naturally · don 't
tell the whole story," said Zambardi,
"but I'm personally satisfied that this
year's CFC campaign was a tremendous
success. This success was due in a large
part to the efforts of each organization
team captain and their campaigners.
I would like to take this opportunity to
thank each and every one of them."
The only CFC statistic which continued
to show a decline is the total participation
by the range workforce. From a high of
83 percent in 1978, participation fell to
less than 50 percent in 1982. However,
the average contribution increased and
lessened the impact of the decreased
participation.
The chairperson said there are many
reasons why people do not participate
in the CFC. "For example, they may feel
their donations aren't reaching the organizations for which they are intended,
or that running the campaign costs too
much ," Zambardi said. "In the two
years that I've been associated with the
CFC, I've determined that the donations are reaching their designations and ·
that the campaign costs are kept to a
minimum," he said.
"Hopefully the WSMR community will
give next year's CFC chairperson Delfina
Lechuga its full support," said Zambardi. "As it was stated at this year's kickoff meeting by the El Paso CFC chairperson Carlos Gonzales, 'H we don't give to
those who are less fortunate than ourselves, who will?' "

Consumer Credit Council Service
offers assistance to debt ridden
When bills pile up and creditors are
demanding their money, and the paycheck isn't big enough to meet the payments, most people don't know where to
go for help.
The Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Albuquerque, Inc. offers a program that can help debt - ridden families.
This non - profit agency helps people
help themselves. It's primarily a counseling service. It is not a charity organization
or a lending institution.
When a client contacts the counseling
service, he is given forms to fill out that
give a detailed picture of his financial
situation. These are usually filled out at
home. When the forms are returned,
a counselor meets with the client to
determine if CCCS can help.
After living expenses are subtracted
from take - home pay, the counselor can
dete'rmine how much is left over to pay
creditors. Unfortunately, some people
wait too long to get help and bankruptcy
is the only way out.
When a client is accepted into the program, a plan for payment of debt is worked out along with the help in managing
family expenses. The CCCS contacts
all the person's creditors and, if necessary, makes arrangements to have
monthly payments lowered.
All of a family's credit cards are discontinued while they are in the program.
CCCS is the only non - profit financial
counseling service now operating in New
Mexico. People who don't live in Albuquerque can still get help from CCCS.
The first step is to call CCCS for the
necessary application forms. The client
then meets with a CCCS counselor in
person at least once.
More information about this service
is available by contacting the CCCS
office at 5318 Menaul NE, 87110, or by
calling 884-6601.

Chain letter promotions not legal
Those who may be thinking of starting
or participating in a chain letter promotion should remember two things:
(1) they are illegal and (2) they don't
work.
A typical chain letter requires participants to send cash through the mail to at
least one person listed on the chain letter,
with instructions to place the sender's
name on the bottom of the list.
The letter will state that your name will
eventually reach the top of the list, as
others are crossed off. Large sums of
money supposedly will be mailed to you
as the chain letter progresses. "This is
the basic misrepresentation made in
chain letters," said L.O. Poindexter,
Postal Inspector in Charge, Los Angeles,
Calif. Poindexter pointed out that it is
mathematically impossible for these
promotions to work. For example, a chain
letter may require participants to mail
letters containing money to six people,
each of whom must mail six letters to
others, and so on. Assuming that everyone who received a letter participated,
nearly 363 million names would be necessary by the 11th level of mailing. This is
more people than live in the United
States.
"Investigations have shown that actual
profits are realized only by those originating the scheme," said Poindexter. Chain
letters that solicit money violate postal
lottery and mail fraud statutes. Maximum
penalties for those convicted are five
years injail and/or a $1,000fine.
Persons receiving chain letters through
the mail are asked to forward them to the
Postal Inspection Service through their
local post office. (U.S. Postal Service)

Beef can· stretch food budget
Army commissary customers who are looking for
a way to stretch their food
budget and satisfy their
family's appetite for beef
may ease the problem by
improving their shopping
and cooking skills.
There are several steps
you can take to provide
your family with appetizing, nutritious, satisfying
and economical meals with
beef, say commissary officials at the U.S. Army
Troop Support Agency.
.
.
Beef ts a pnme source of
man~ nutrients. It_ is high in
quahty and quantity of protein and contains all the
essential
amino
acids
necessary to build, maintain and repair body tissues
and strengthen the defense
mechanism against infection and disease.
Good meals can result
from proper prior planning.
Meat is the center of most
meals so begin planning
your meal by first selecting
the meat item.
Your commissary stocks
a variety of fresh, cured,
cured and smoked, frozen,
dried, canned, and ready-to
-serve beef cuts. Fresh
chilled beef cuts. range
from the individual steak
or patty to boneless round,
loin strips, and rib eye
cuts. Know the various cuts
of beef.
-
Think cost per serving
rather than cost per pound.
Some boneless cuts may
cost a bit more, but they
may be the better buy because they have less waste.
The amount of bone and fat
a cut contains helps determine the number of 3. to
3 112-ounce servings of cooked meat the cut will yield.
From a pound of beef,
you can usually get four
servings from boneless
cuts (stew or ground beef,
cube steak); three servings
from beef tip, boneless
rump roast, round, top
loin, and rib eye steaks; two
or three servings from sirloin steak and boneless
roast from the chuck; two
servings from arm or blade
pot roasts and most steaks
with bone; and one to two
servings from short ribs
and shank cross cuts.

WSMR Little Theatre to present ''Plaza Suite"
•

by Angel Morrison
The White Sands Little Theatre group
is in production with Neil Simon's comedy "Plaza Suite," which will play
7:30 p.m. Feb. 25 . and 26 at the Post
Theater. The three act play reviews the
lives of three sets of characters who stay
in Suite 719 at New York's Plaza Hotel.
The first act opens on a couple who, by
arrangement of the wife, are spending
their 24th wedding anniversary in the
same room where they spent their honeymoon. Desperately trying to recreate
some of their former happiness, Karen
Nash, the wife, is confronted by husband,
Sam, who is just as desperately trying
to avoid the reality of the past 24 years.
Jan Gleason, director of the past three
theatre productions at White Sands,
plays the part of Karen Nash . Gleason
describes her character as "having the
most sensitivity of all the characters in
the play, but at the same time is trying to
be very brave." Gus Rose will play opposite Gleason as Sam Nash, the husband
caught in a proverbial midlife crisis.
Supporting characters in the first scene
are played by Jacqui Wood, Cathie Lowe,
and Charlie Pichette.

And, it's obvious she's kept close tabs on
Jesse's career via the fan magazines.
The part of Jesse is played by Richard
Kestner. Muriel is played by Barbara
Rutledge. When asked about her role
Rutledge said, "If Muriel was completely happy, she'd have never shown up to
see her old boyfriend. At first Neil Simon
seems strickly comedy, but there's
always a hint of sadness underneath. I
love doing the second act."
In the third act, Suite 719 has· been

Donald Hamilton, who plays the father
of the bride also identifies with his role.
"After all I have a fifteen year old
daughter, and in a couple of years, I could
be in the same situation," says Hamilton.
The character of Mimsey, the bride, is
being played by Chris Hamilton, Donald
Hamilton's daughter. The role of the
bridegroom is played by Charlie Pichette.
Performances of the White Sands Little Theatre group are free. "Plaza
Suite," is directed by Joanne Ziegenfuss,
with assistance from Ann Hamilton.

Aword for
the wise:
Albuquerque Federal Savings & Loan
with a branch in Las Cruces, will merge
its current ATM system with other ser-,
vices offered by other banks affiliated
with Bank Securities, Incorporated, a
statewide holding company, Albuquerque Federal and First National Bank in ·
Albuquerque to form Southwest Exchange. This new ATM network, connected by ADP, Inc., the nation's largest data
processing company will offer statewide
banking convenience to customers beginning in mid-August .
Customers will now be able to with-,
draw cash, transfer funds and check
account balances at any automated teller
machine in New Mexico bearing THE
EXCHANGE name, said Hugh J. Gra-,
ham, Jr., president and chief executive
officer of Albuquerque Federal. Deposi-,
tors can withdraw cash from what pre-,
sently are Albuquerque Federal's
PASSCARD TELLER machines, or per-,
haps a MINI-.MINT machine in Santa Fe
or a MONEY machine in Albuquerque.
Said Graham, "The trend nationally is
for banks and savings & loans to merge
their ATM systems. Customers want
access to their cash wherever they are,
Graham said. "Financial institutions,
through th~ increased abilities of com-,
puter networking, are now more able to
provide that kind of convenience."

~II======~=~=~=~~=.====~11ream sponsor Locke has new view of softball
as sponsor in 1980 during the coaching
season of David Pena and Alfred King. It
was during this season Locke was invited
to sit on the bench during a game. He
began to attend games regularly and
soon, because of a lack of support from
Rocky Mountain, Locke took on the
responsibility of financially backing the
Aztecas. If it hadn't been for this act of
support, the team would riot have been
able to participate in the tourney that
year or continue to survive at all.
In 1980, the team did well during the
season tournaments and gave their first
trophy to Locke. Ever since, most trophies have gone to Locke and now sit around
_ __ _
his de~_k at ~ata Analysis.
by Lori Luschei
For someone who really didn't like
baseball, Frank Locke has come a long
way.
The National Range Operation Directorate mathematician is full financial
, supporter for the Aztecas, an all male
slow-pitch softball team.
Locke has been involved with the
team since the summer of 1980 when he
was invited to sit in on a game. Eventually, - because of a lack of support
from the Aztecas' other backers, sponsorship shifted to Locke. He has been an
avid fan ever since. Until he became the
team's sponsor, Locke's baseball interest
had been limited to watching the last
game of the 1980 World Series.
Locke works for the Analysis and- Control Section of the Data Sciences Division,
in which he helps "control data reduction." He is able to perform his complex
tasks at Data Sciences despite being
handicapped by cerebral palsy.
The Florida native came to Alamogordo
as a young man. He graduated from
Alamogordo High School in 1954. He
went on to the University of New Mexico
to receive a bachelor's degree in anthropology with a minor in mathematics. The
Las Cruces resident has been with the
Analysis and Control Section at WSMR
for 22 years.
Supporting a softball team is not an ...
inexpensive task. Locke pays for lodging,
transportation, uniforms, fees for tourneys and games, and "as many other
expenses as the budget will allow,''
he explained. Tournament fees range
anywhere from $15 to $40 per player
<-and uniforms cost $50 a piece. With up to
17 players to sponsor, the cost adds up.
~
The team has held its own with winning
records since that summer of 1980 and
Locke says he is, "hoping for a good year
in 1983." Asked what he thinks about
baseball now, Locke replied, "I find it •
very interesting and fascinating. I try not .. to chew my fingernails to the bone when
~he score gets very close."

'
The Aztecas are made up of civilian
.men, 21 to 37 years old. They play in and
around Las Cruces and the rest of New
Mexico. They sometimes travel to
out-of-state tourneys.
Larry Martinez started the Azteca
team in 1978. Glover Plumbing was then
the sponsor. In 1979, the team was sponsored by the Desert Sun, a Las Cruces
bar and dance hall. James Herrera was
the ball players coach.

Prayer breakfast speaker POW for five years
A U.S. Air Force officer who was held
prisoner in North Vietnam for five years
will be the guest speaker at the WSMR
observance of the National Prayer Breakfast, Feb. 9.
Col. Gobel James commands the 323rd
Air Base Group/Group Command at
Mathers Air Force Base, Calif. He entered the Air Force in 1952. He was shot
down while flying a mission over North
Vietnam in October 1967. He was not
freed until 1972.
The prayer breakfast will begin in the
Officers Club at 7:30 a.m.
Four hundred tickets to the breakfast
will be sold. Each directorate and unit at•
WSMR has been allocated tickets.
Tickets are $2 each.
Thelismond scored with assists from Paul
Schurtz and Wayne Henry. Just before the half ended Williamson fed Christian, who then netted his second goal of
the day. WSMR led at the half, 4-0.
Although the Astros scored once on the
second half, they never seriously threatened as WSMR used ball control and a
pressing defense to preserve the victory.
WSMR looks for its third straight
win Sunday in El Paso against the Black
Hawks.

parenting skills which are designed to
help them cope with child rearing in
a more positive manner.
Parents may also apply for a Mother's
Time Out grant. The grant is to be used

-
-
who are experiencing stress, are hospitalized, or are in a single-parent situation.

through WSMR Regulation 608-3. Abused wives may be temporarily relocated
to the billets or given shelter in a nearby
community. Counseling is provided as
well as referral for legal, financial, and
medical assistance.
DWI-related deaths can be reduce
The key to cutting military deaths related to drunk driving is "sustained enforcement" at the local base and community level in the years ahead, said
Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger in a recent memorandum to the
heads of the military departments.
Drunk driving is the leading cause of
deaths in the services, accounting for
more than 500 victims in 1981, he said.
In his memorandum the Secretary reemphasized that any service member,
dependent or civilian employee convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI)
by civil court, court-martial or punished
under Article 15, UCMJ, will be prohib-
ited from operating a private motor ve:hicle on a military installation or facili
for a minimum of one year. --Only
installation commanders may grant exception to this policy.
~
The Secretary recommended, additionally' that these offenders complete an
alcohol education program as a pre~
requisite to reinstatement of base driving
privileges.
"We must leave no doubt," he cofl.~
eluded, "that drunk driving is a very
serious offense and will not be tolerated;It is the number one killer in the De<::
partment and the worst form of drug
abuse."
