Commanding GeneralInstallation Managemtent Command Korea Region

Recently, I had the privilege o being presentduring the U.S. Army Installation CommandCampaign Plan Roll-out Conerence in SanAntonio, exas when IMCOM commandinggeneral and U.S. Army Assistant Chie oSta or Installation Management, Lt. Gen.Rick Lynch, unveiled our IMCOM CampaignPlan.

Te Campaign Plan describes our visionor providing eective and efcient services,programs and inrastructure to bear on thechallenges aced by Commanders, Soldiers,Families and Civilians. Te Campaign Planprovides strategic direction to achieve Lt.Gen. Lynchs vision, provides the oundationand road map or us to understand our rolein supporting the Army, now and in theuture, and includes a revised set o metricsor the installation management communityto measure our progress achieving specicobjectives in the plan.

wo weeks ago, Page 1 o the MorningCalm newspaper eatured the new IMCOMlogo and Page 18 eatured an article describingthe symbolism o the logo. o provide evenmore insight into IMCOMs eort to supportSoldiers, Families and Civilians, I would liketo present a brie overview o the IMCOM

Campaign Plan.Lt. Gen. Lynchs strategic imperatives,

nested in the IMCOM Campaign Plan,include continuing to evolve the organizationinto a customer-ocused combat supportorganization, embracing a perormance-basedmanagement culture, equipping employees toprovide extraordinary support to our customersnow and in the uture, and ensuring scalresponsibility by adopting a cost culture.

We execute the IMCOM Campaign Planalong six Lines o Eort:

Soldier, Family and Civilian ReadinessSoldier, Family and Civilian Well BeingLeader and Workorce Development

Installation ReadinessSaetyEnergy Efciency and Security

Over the next ew weeks, this column willeature articles rom IMCOM Korea garrisoncommanders ocusing on the Lines o Eortand highlighting what were doing to executethe IMCOM Campaign Plan, and ultimatelyto enhance readiness and quality o lie, herein Korea.

We are taking a customer-ocusedapproach at all levels within the InstallationManagement Community. Part o that processis the continued use o input and eedbackby the Army Family with some reasoned sel-

reection. As we execute the Campaign Plan,we at IMCOM will be asking ourselves someundamental questions:

Are we doing things right? Are we indeed ocused on doing things

right, and are we getting appropriate value out

o our activities? Over the past several yearswe have doubled the amount o money we areinvesting in amily programs, and signicantlyincreased the money we have or running ourinstallations, but we must be prepared or thechallenges o the uture and the inevitablechanges in our unding levels.

Are we doing the right things?Tis second undamental question has to

do with both efciency and saety. o maintainand increase productivity, we must increaseefciencies. By analyzing IMCOM activities in

order to cut out wasted time and energy whilemaintaining sae practices, IMCOM will likelybe doing things right.

What are we missing?It is important to periodically take a step

back and think about what else we shouldbe doing that is not being done already. We welcome your eedback through the ArmyFamily Action Plan, the Interactive CustomerEvaluation system and our Customer ServiceAssessment sur vey.

o help us answer those questions, take aminute to tell us by using one o our eedbackmechanisms. We really do want to know i you

think were doing the right things, i were doingthem right and i you think there is anythingwere missing.

Ultimately, the goal o the CampaignPlan and IMCOMs mission is to providestandardized, eective & efcient services,acilities and inrastructure to Soldiers, Familiesand Civilians or an Army and Nation engagedin persistent conict.

Our Vision is that Army installations arethe DoD standard or inrastructure qualityand are the provider o consistent, qualityservices that are a orce multiplier in supportedorganizations mission accomplishment, andmaterially enhance Soldier and Family well-being and readiness.

Te Installation Management Communitysvalues reect its undamental linkage to alldimensions o the Army. Army installations arethe oundation o Soldier and Family readiness;our values are the same as the Army Valueso Integrity, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, SelessService, Honor and Personal Courage.

CAMP HOVEY Soldiers rom unitsthroughout Warrior Country came to theCamp Hovey obstacle course, also knownas the condence course, to compete in thesecond annual Family, Morale, Welare,and Recreation Obstacle Course ChallengeApril 17.

Te event had more than 50 competitorsparticipate in three dierent categories o thecompetition: individual mens, individualwomens and the mens team event.

Te competition began with a saetybrieing ollowed by an explanation othe course rom FMWR personnel. Due

to saety restrictions, FMWR broke theobstacle course into ve dierent events, thecondence climb, tough one, low belly over,Inclining Wall, and the Weaver.

When the starting whistle blew,contestants sprinted to the conidenceclimb, a giant ladder where the participantclimbed up on one side and down the other,sprinting to the tough one.

he tough one, the obstacle whereparticipants were allowed to try twice beorebeing disqualied, gave the most problemsbecause the rope used or contestants to pullthemselves over the top was an excruciatingupper body workout, making it difcult toquickly climb to the top.

Once competitors reached the top othe tough one, they had to pull themselvesup and reach the other side o the obstacle,without alling in the net below, and thenclimb down using the rope.

Te third task o the obstacle course,the inclining wall, involved competitorshopping over a wall by any means necessarybeore reaching the low belly over, a very

similar obstacle to the inclining wall where

participants had to jump over a log hoistedin air beore moving on to the last event. TeWeaver, one o the most deceiving obstacles,had competitors climbing to the top andback down beore crossing the nish line.

I am inantry and we do everything as ateam which is why I didnt want to competein the individual competition because itsabout the team, said Pc. Brett Gordon.

Te rope was pretty thick and it gaveme some diiculties but my teammateswere great pushing me and motivating meto climb up the rope.

Ater everyone competed in the menscompetition, Karen Moore and 2nd Lt.Lynette Byars went head to head against

each other on the obstacle course. Byarsquickly took an advantage over Moore witha ast nish over the condence climb, butstruggled to climb on the tough one. Moorethen hung onto the rope beore lettinggo and sitting on the net beore climbingback up to the top o the tough one. Byars,who was atigued rom the tough one wasnot able to catch up to Moore and lost toMoore with a time o 6:42. Moore nishedrst at 5:19.

Competitors who placed rom 3 to 1were awarded trophies and points or theirunit in the commanders cup race includingeach o the our members o the mens andwomens team, an exciting part o the day

where teamwork was needed during thecompetition to complete the course.I had a great time participating in this

event today, said Pc. Jamie Blocker, ACompany 302nd Brigade Support Battalion,who nished 1 in the mens individual openevent at 1:21.

YONGSAN GARRISON Welcome to New Orleans. Some peoplecall it Nor-lens, began U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan Commander Col.Dave Hall.It was seven oclock at the Naija ballroom o the Dragon Hill Lodge but

one would never know. Te mood was set. Te lights were dim. Candleswere set on every table and in the distance the 8th United States ArmyBand Dixie Commandos played loud, proud and boldly. Rat tat tat,tap tap, and a twiddle here and there. Every oot tapped to the beat o songas Sta Sgt. Ron Hinkle, banjo player and singer, 8th Army Band beltedout What a Wonderul World.

And it truly was a wonderul world and a night to remember. Wehonored those who give selessly with the 2010 Volunteer o the YearCelebration, April 23.

onight is indeed special, Hall stated. You can never do enough to honorwhat all o our volunteers do or our community everyday. In total, 178Soldiers, KAUSA and civilian volunteers were honored.In particular, 15-year-old Lennette Haliburton, all smile but still humble

and thankul to be honored. At rst I started volunteering because CLUBBeyond is a nice youth ministry area. Ten they asked me to sing becausethey were like oh, you have a nice voice, she giggled. Now Im basicallythe manager so I have to show up a lot and there are times that I dont eellike going but I go anyway. But I do eel like Im making a dierence even iIm just choosing the songs, perorming and making slides, she grinned.

Also being honored or his volunteer eorts was Pc. William Dowling,176th Finance Company.I teach English at Wonhyo Elementary School and on the weekends I

help out at the nursing home, Dowling stated. I like building riendshipsand its un. Its un helping others. Sometimes it can be a little difcultbut a lot o the younger kids already know a little bit o English so theyrepretty easy to work with.

On each table sat a beautiul silver peacock napkin ring and napkinas a remembrance o the evening and a token o thanks. It served as areminder that USAG Yongsan is proud o their volunteers and theirvolunteer accomplishments.

Why do volunteers do what they do? Gen. Walter Sharp,commanding general, United States Armed Forces Korea questionedthe crowd. Its because its what our hearts tell us to do. So we thankyou and we salute you.

Special to the Morning Calm Weekly

If you connect a VoIP phone to the Internet with your computer, youre exposing thatcomputer and phonealong with any theother phones and computers you have on yournetworkto the same viruses and other attacksthat can plague computers that are not VoIPservers. Here are a few more questions andanswers for VoIP users:

Q: I still want to use my own computeras a VoIP server. Whats the best way to helpprotect it from attack?

A: To begin with, you should:-Maintain strict access control: Keep

your passwords private and limit access to thecomputers and Web sites that house your voicemail and other stored audio data.

You can further increase security byallowing only approved people on a password-protected list to make and receive VoIP calls.

Use all available security precautions:Keep up to date with your rewall, antivirus,and antispyware software.

Use rewall and antivirus software thatcan perform VoIP-specic security checks. Fornetworked computers, use routers that includeStateful Packet Inspection rewalls.

Require user names and strong passwords:

Apply for both direct and remote access to theVoIP network, and keep all your operatingsystem software updated.

You should password-protect and encrypt,when possible, any wireless networks you use.Tis also applies to Smartphones and any otherwireless data transmission devices.

Use dedicated VoIP computers: Considerusing a separate computer as your VoIP server,and do not connect it to other Internet-enabledcomputers.

HUMPHREYS GARRISON Te602nd Aviation Support Battalion, 2nd

Combat Aviation Brigade, conducted aSoldier Readiness Program, better knownas SRP, at the Super Gym, April 22.

his semi-annual event prepares thebattalion or any collateral concerns in theevent o deployment. Te SRP also providedthe Soldiers with an opportunity to sign-upor some o the various programs oered bythe Better Opportunities or Single Soldiersand United Service Organizations.

he event actually began the nightbeore, when Family Members came to theNon-combatant Evacuation Operation, alsoat the Super Gym, and updated their packetsto ensure that they knew the proceduresrequired o them.

Te ollowing morning, Soldiers lledthe gymnasium to update their inormationincluding legal paperwork, SGLI, amilycare plans, immunizations, dental, andothers.

Tis is part o the battalion commandersand commanding generals intent to makesure everybody is ready to ght tonightand roll out at a moments notice, said

Capt. Richard Frank, the battalion S-1 andcoordinator o the SRP. Te unit keeps

a packet on each Soldier which is part otheir in-processing. So when they come

in, we check things o that they alreadyhave completed and gure out what theystill need.

Other than completing the neededpaperwork and shots, the SRP was organized

to provide useul inormation to theSoldiers.

Events like this also help to get the wordout about upcoming events that Soldiersmight be interested in attending, such as theoby Keith concert and Beach Blast, a two-night trip to Daecheon Beach, in BoryeongCity, Frank said.

Soldiers ind this SRP ormat workswell when making sure their paperwork isstraight.

I think the SRP is really helpul, becausesometimes we just dont have time to updateour SGLI (and other paperwork) and it alsogives us a chance to see what programs areavailable, said Pc. Amanda E. Hirschman,

a UH-60 Black Hawk mechanic.Te SRP not only helps Soldiers, but it

also provides NCOs with the knowledgethat their Soldiers are in compliance all atonce.

I think it is a wonderul program and itdenitely helps increase our readiness as abattalion, said Sgt. Lisa Esparza, NCOICo the battalion aid station.

Events like this are un or the ocers

and noncommissioned ocers involved,even though it takes a lot o work to put

them together, Lewis said. Tey allowSoldiers to teach and share their experiences

with others, which helps them in theirmilitary capacity when they have to trainother Soldiers.

In addition to helping the scouts,this serves as a great community outreachprogram, said 1st Lt. Kelsey J. Riise, aplatoon leader and the event coordinator.Its not every day that you get to sit inthe gunners seat o a Black Hawk or learnabout the various types o weapons we usein the Army.

Tis years week-long event, which was held onCamp Walker and Camp Carroll, includedan array of games and entertainment.Among them were tug-of-war, ssireumand soccer.

DAEGU GARRISON School age

children rom the U.S. Army GarrisonDaegu community recently allowed curiosityto lead them through the Camp Carroll

wetlands, with li ttle to no persuasion. aking

advantage o annual Spring Break, CampWalkers Child and Youth Services sponsoreda nature trip or the children, hoping to

expose them to what would be a memorableday spent with Mother Nature.

Arriving at the Camp Carroll Wetlandssite, the eager aces seemed to say it all. Techildren were not only anxious to visit thelocation, but appeared ready to romp andstomp in the open space. Ranging in ages5 to 11 the children were rst lost in theart o kicking a single pebble among thethousands along the wetlands path. Tanksto the buzzing o a relentless bee, the childrenimmediately scurried back toward theirteacher or protection, this time, a little lessdistracted and ready to ocus on the wonderso the wetlands.

Explaining to the children just what

the wetlands was all about, om Kunneke,USAG Daegu natural resources programmanager, said, When you think wetlands,immediately things like water, ecosystem,trees, landscape, amphibians, nature andducks might come to mind. Te wetland isan area that holds water or seasonally holds water during part o the growing season.Open water, we grasses and marshes, shrubs

and orest, coral ree, peat bog, springs andtundra make up the wetlands.

Kunneke said that the curiosity and

interests o the children was never in doubt.Tey seemed to want to know more andmore about whats out here. I believethis type o outing is great or childreno all ages, but especially the very young.Introducing them to nature at this timein their lie is just one very positive steptoward ensuring they understand the rolenature plays in both our environment andthe uture, he said.

Juliann Bernhard, School Age ServicesDirector, Camp Walker seemed to be o thesame opinion as Kunneke. We are reallyglad to be here, sha said. For one thing,the area that we just tracked holds water andis o great interest to the kids because o the

plants, spiders, rogs, ducks and raccoon dogsthat have gathered to live in the wetlands. Ithink this kind o exposure to nature helpsthe children better understand the impactMother Nature has on living thingsbigand small. Actually visiting the wetlandswill probably be more memorable than theirexperiences via a textbook explanation ordenition.

Healey said that Story Hour is heldhursdays at 10:30 a.m. at the Camp Walker library and at 11:45 a.m. at thelibrary on Camp Carroll. Anyone cancome, although the stories during ourmorning hours are geared more towardstoddlers and preschoolers. here is noregistration or sign up required, she said.

When asked what techniques are usedto hold the attention o the young readersHealey said laughingly, Sometimes we dont

hold their attention. Id have to say that itsvery important to have big colorul picturesand keep the kids engaged in the story byasking questions. Its also helpul to improvise.Long stories can be shortened i minds arewandering. I think the most important thingis that the children do come to the library withcuriosity, and in the end, the one thing we canhope or is that their story hour experiencehas a positive lasting efect on their continuedreading pursuits.

Look for less sodium, more potassium in your diet

FORT LEE, Va. Most o us knowthat eating too much sodium is not good

or us, as doing so may increase the riskor high blood pressure, which can lead toa variety o diseases. Nearly one in threeU.S. adults have high blood pressure andalmost as many have pre-hypertension orslightly elevated blood pressure. Not surewhat your blood pressure is or havent hadit checked in awhile? I so, then it is timeto get it checked.

Eating less sodium, as well as makingother liestyle changes, may prevent ordelay getting high blood pressure and mayhelp lower elevated blood pressure. Tesechanges include eating more potassium-richoods, losing excess weight, being morephysically active, eating a healthy diet and

limiting alcoholic beverages, i you chooseto drink them.

Hidden sodium in foodSodium is ound in many o the processed

and prepared oods we eat every day, such ascanned vegetables, soups, luncheon meatsand rozen meals. Food manuacturersalso use sodium-containing compoundsto preserve ood and improve its taste andtexture.

levels or dierent oods so, over time,average consumption would drop by abouthal a teaspoon. As the government movesorward in addressing the issue o sodiumin ood you buy, there are many things you

can do to eat less sodium.

To kick the sodium habitTe U.S. Department o Health and

Human Services recommends that you getno more than 2,300 milligrams o sodiumeach day. People with high blood pressure,Arican-Americans and people who aremiddle-aged or older should get no morethan 1,500 milligrams o sodium each dayand should get potassium through oods.

Tips for eating less salt: Look or low-sodium products whenshopping in the commissary. Whenyoure choosing packaged oods, checkthe sodium content on the nutrition actslabel. Use the percent Daily Value (percentDV) to help limit your sodium intake 5percent DV or less is low and 20 percentDV or more is high. Compare sodium content or similaroods. his can really make a dierence.Use the nutrition acts label to selectbrands that are lower in sodium. Eat more resh oods and ewer processedoods. Fresh meat is usually lower insodium than luncheon meat, bacon, hotdogs, sausage and ham. When possible,buy resh and rozen poultry or meatthat hasnt been injected with a sodium-containing solution.

Eat more potassium Adults should try to consume 4,700

milligrams o potassium each day in oodsand beverages. On average, children need3,000 to 4,500 milligrams o potassium

each day, depending on their age.Foods high in potassium include theollowing items noted by ood serving sizeand potassium (mg):* Apricots, dried, 10 halves, 407 Avocados, raw, 1 ounce, 180 Bananas, raw, 1 cup, 594 Beets, cooked, 1 cup, 519 Brussels sprouts, cooked, 1 cup, 504 Cantaloupe, 1 cup, 494 Dates, dry, 5 dates, 271 Figs, dry, 2 gs, 271 Kiwi fruit, raw, 1 medium, 252 Lima beans, 1 cup, 955 Melons, honeydew, 1 cup, 461 Milk, fat-free or skim, 1 cup, 407 Nectarines, 1 nectarine, 288 Orange juice, 1 cup, 496 Oranges, 1 orange, 237 Pears, fresh, 1 pear, 208 Potatoes, baked, with esh and skin, 1
