A Process for Continuously Improving Quality of Life for the Army CommunityAs the Assistant Chie o Sta or Installation

Management (ACSIM), one o the mostimportant duties I have is overseeing the ArmyFamily Action Plan (AFAP) Process. Te AFAPis the Armys grassroots eort in which memberso the Army Community (Soldiers, Civilians,Families, and Retirees) identiy and elevatesignicant quality o lie issues aecting theArmy Community to senior leaders or action.Te AFAP is also a key component o the Army

Family Covenant because it gives commandersand other Army leaders insight into needs andexpectations o the Army Community. Simplystated, AFAP is a voice or the Army Communityto inorm and partner with Army leaders todetermine i were doing the right things, whetherwere doing things right, and to nd out whatwere missing.

I want you and every member o the Army Community to know about the AFAP,understand how it works, and to become apartner in the process. Te AFAP allows you tocommunicate with and receive eedback romthe most senior military and civilian leaderso the Army, Department o Deense aboutissues important to the health and well-being o

Soldiers, Civilians, and Family Members.Heres how it works. Te AFAP is a year-

round process that begins on installations whererepresentatives o the community meet inorums to identiy, develop, and prioritize issuesthey believe are important to maintain a goodstandard o living or the Army Community.Approximately, 90 percent o the AFAP issuesthat emerge are resolved at the local level andresult in ongoing community improvements.However, some issues require support beyondthe local level. Tose issues are elevated to mid-level (Army Command) AFAP Conerences.Issues that require the attention o higher-levelauthorities go to the Headquarters Departmento the Army (HQDA) AFAP Conerence where

delegates rom across the Army determine whichissues will be worked by the Army Sta.

he AFAP General Oicer SteeringCommittee (GOSC), comprised o seniorDepartment o Deense ocials, Army leaders,and ield representatives (commanders andcommand sergeants major), meets every sixmonths to provide senior leader direction onaction plans, milestones, and resolution oAFAP issues.

In the six months since the last AFAP GOSCmeeting, unctional representatives rom theDA Sta and I have met or six AFAP Sessions,reviewing the 86 active AFAP issues. Duringthose sessions we studied the history and latest

developments or each issue, then decided on arecommended status (remain active, complete,or unattainable) to present to the AFAPGOSC or consideration. Ater I present ourrecommendations to the GOSC on 30 June,we will determine the next steps and status oreach issue. Te results rom this GOSC as wellas previous GOSC meetings are available on thenew and improved AFAP website.

Te AFAP Website is conveniently located in

Army OneSource (www.myarmyonesource.com)to provide the Army Community with easy one-stop-shopping or Army inormation, includingmeeting results rom the January GOSC andprevious meetings. Te AFAP website has beenimproved by the addition o the Active IssueSearch Application. Tis new eature allowsusers to search the status o all issues using severallter options, such as keywords, issue status,service component, subject, demographic group,command, and more. Te Army is dedicatedto building awareness o AFAP across the Armyand ensuring everyone has ull access to AFAPrecommendations and accomplishments andknows how to become a partner in the process.

As the ACSIM, I commit to ensuring all

AFAP Recommendations are thoroughly analyzedto determine i they are realistically achievablebased on actors such as, Congressional support,cost, and other actors. I am also committedto ensuring that the GOSC provide the ArmyCommunity with the results o our analysisand decisions as quickly as possible. Tis isimportant work. Previous recommendationssubmitted through the AFAP process have hadvery positive and wide-reaching aects or theArmy Community. For example:

2009 - Distribution o Montgomery GI Billbenets approved or dependents

2008 - Military annual leave carryoverincreased rom 60 to 75 days

2007 - Established toll-ree Wounded in

Action phone number; improved communicationto Families

As you can see, the AFAP has an excellentrecord o success. One hundred and seventeen AFAP recommendations have resulted inlegislative changes; 162 resulted in Departmento the Army policy changes; and 178 improvedprograms or services.

However, our work is not complete.he ollowing is just a sample o the AFAPrecommendations we will be working on at thenext GOSC:

AFAP Issue Recommendation #610.Estab l i sh a comprehensive integratedrehabilitative program or raumatic Brain

Injury patients at military Medical Centers oExcellence.

AFAP Issue Recommendation #653. Funda ormal program to provide service dogs orWounded Warriors.

AFAP Issue Recommendation #658. Installvisual monitoring systems or surveillance ohallways, common areas and parking lots, andrequire keyless entry and peep holes in barracksacross the Army.

AFAP Issue Recommendation #647.Require the availability o 24/7 child care orall age groups through Child, Youth and SchoolServices delivery systems at all Army garrisons.

Now that you know more about thisgrassroots process that was created to enable theArmy Community to collaborate with leaders,rom the installation level to Congress, getinvolved! I encourage you to go to the AFAPwebsite and view the status o the 86 activeissues. I also challenge you to become a partner

with us in our continuing eort to improveour Army by contacting your garrison AFAPProgram Manager within Army CommunityService and becoming a volunteer, participatingin an AFAP orum, or submitting an AFAPissue. Your contributions to the AFAP providereal-time inormation that enable commandersto respond more rapidly to resolve problems,implement good ideas, guide policy ormation,and enhance Soldier, Civilian, and Family well-being and installation readiness.

We Are the Armys Home.

By Kevin JacksonUSAG RC Public Affairs

CASEY GARRISON erry Blevins,chie o Red Cloud Garrisons award-winningDirectorate o Logistics MaintenanceDivision, has an unlikely secret weapon inhis toolbox a riendly rivalry that uels thecompetitive spirits o his combined Caseyand Red Cloud garrison team.

I think its a really good tool one thatjust suraced by itsel. It wasnt managementdriven, said Blevins, who on June 24 pickedup his teams second consecutive ArmyAward or Maintenance Excellence during AUSAs Institute o Land Warare ArmySustainment Symposium and Exposition inthe Greater Richmond Convention Centerin Richmond, Va.

his year the combined Red Cloudand Casey maintenance team took home

the runner-up award in the InstallationManagement Command large category oracilities with more than 300 workers. Lastyear the team beat the perennial award- winning maintenance team rom FortBragg, N.C.

What happened last year was Fort Braggwas selected as the runner-up and we wereselected as the winner so this year we justkind o swapped positions, Blevins said.Last year, the gentleman rom Fort Braggtold us I will get it next year and he did.

Blevins arrived as the Red Cloud Garrisonmaintenance chie in November 2009 romCamp Humphreys one month ater thepacket written by Chie Warrant Ocer

2 Carlos Hill was submitted. Tat gavehim our months to prepare or the on-siteassessment by the 12-person panel whovisited Korea March 7 to veriy the contentso the submission packet.

While a well-written and documentedpacket is important, Blevins said the key tohis combined maintenance teams successbegins with his employees.

Maintenance team claims second straight awardTey are very innovative, he said about

his predominantly Korean work orce. Tatis rom the senior Korean leaders all the wayto the lowest ranking employee we have.Tey take a lot o pride in their work.

One month ater Blevins arrived at RedCloud Garrison, his wie, began teachingEnglish to the Casey and Red CloudGarrison teams one hour every Friday. Hesaid some employees were resistant at frst,but its caught on, and more important, itshelped to improve communication.

Some o the older guys didnt reallylike it to begin with, he said. Now theylove it. I we have to cancel or any reason,they dont like it. Tey want to know why.It helps communication with the customerand internally within management.

Kim ae-hun, a supply technician romthe Red Cloud team, agrees. English classtime is very important because everybody

is in the room and we talk about ourproblems, he said Its good or the wholemaintenance division.

Still, Blevins said a riendly rivalryexists between his Casey and Red Cloudteams, particularly the clerks. He said theCasey team distinguished itsel duringthe Installation Management CommandKorea command inspection in Februaryby receiving a ew more commendableaccolades. And while the respective teamsare competitive and strive to outdo eachother, they worked well together preparingor the AAME on-site assessment.

hey love to help their peers, hesaid. Tey dont want to see anyone ail.

Tey want to see everyone in the divisionshine.

Cho Yong-ku, a Casey maintenancedivision clerk, agrees and he knows what itwill take or the combined Casey and RedCloud maintenance team to bring anotherfrst place award back to Korea next year.

Katchi kapshida (lets go together). Itsgood teamwork, he said.

Son Won-un, DOL Maintenance Division at Casey Garrison, changes the oilin a vehicle. The combined Casey Garrison and Red Cloud Garrison DOL

CAMP MOBILE When GregoryDeschapel l and Scott Steuerwald,instructors o the Army raic Saetyraining Program rom Cape Fox Corp.began talking about motorcycle saety,everyone listened. Tere is more to riding amotorcycle and staying alive than swinginga leg over two wheels with 140 horsepowerand zooming o into the wild blue yonder.Motorcycle saety is about staying alivein the most dangerous land or riding ontwo wheels and 48 Warriors rom the 1/72

Armor came to learn how June 7 to 11.aking the course oered by the

Army not only gives you the condenceto become a skilled rider, but it alsointroduces one to the many joys andpleasures given by motorcycle ridingor pleasure. One thing to remember:

never ride without protection. At least,recommended riding gear such as aDepartment o ransportation or SnellMemorial Foundation approved helmet,long sleeve shirts, jacket, i not leather,one o thickness and weight to protect theskin rom road rash, ull-ngered gloves,thick jeans, boots that cover and protectthe ankles, and a refective vest.

Te helmet should have a ace shieldor the rider must use approved protectivegoggles. Without this gear, a rider can

wind up in dire shape i he is hit byanother vehicle while riding. All o theseacts are explained during the classroominstruction given by both Deschapell and

Steuerwald.With this program Soldiers can

learn on paper and hands-on the basicso properly operating a motorcycle,Deschappell said. Te great thing aboutit is the instructors are hands on as well,

which means we can closely teach theSoldiers and provide them with a sae

environment during the training.For the beginners course, riders are

trained to control the motorcycle using thecontrols such as handlebars, throttle grip,clutch, brakes both ront and rear, and howto control while turning and leaning intoturns so the rider can put the bike wherehe wants it to be. Tey start with what iscalled a power walk. Tis enables the riderto get used to the power o the bikes engineand not eel araid o alling.

By the end o the course, most ridershave a good grip on basic motorcycleriding skills. Tey need to put as manymiles on their new bikes as they can to

develop these skills, but never orget thesaety training that will keep them alive.

Tis is the best training, said Sgt.Fausto Lopez, 1-72nd Armor Regiment,owner o three motorcycles. Everything

we have been taught during this courseocuses on saety, and that is goodbecause whenever you operate any orm

o transportation, saety is a major issue.I think everybody who is interested ingetting a motorcycle or wants to learn howto ride a motorcycle should join this classbecause you get the joy that comes along

with riding a motorcycle while ensuringsaety or yoursel and others.

Some consider riding motorcyclesor scooters to skirt the rising prices ogasoline.

With gas prices elevating, riding amotorcycle seems to be the most uelecient orm o transportation, said Spc.Mason Cromer, F Co, 302nd BrigadeSupport Battalion, rst-time rider. I cant

wait to get a bike and explore the manybenets o riding a motorcycle. I am gladthis training gave me the opportunity todo so.

For anyone interested in staying alivewhile riding their new motorcycle, loggingon to www.ridesae.kr is a good way to getstarted. Call DSN: 738-6040.

I absolutely love Bibimbap. You get your veggies,

meat, and a little spice all in a big bowl. I know I could

make it when we leave, but I am too lazy. I will never

try those bugs in a pot they sell at the markets. I cant

even get close to them because of the smell, no way

thats making it into my stomach.

never will eat the rice cakes with hot sauce again. Yucky.

Nation Marks Korean Wars 60th Anniversary

By Donna Miles

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON Sixty years ago thisweek, North Korean troops stormed across the38th parallel into South Korea, launching a three-year conict that culminated in an armistice in1953, but never ocially ended.

he North Koreans launched a massive,coordinated air-land invasion in the early-morning hours o June 25, 1950, with morethan 230,000 troops, ghter jets, attack bombers,reconnaissance aircrat, tanks and artillery.

he erocity o the oensive caught theSouth Korean army by surprise. With ewer than100,000 troops, no tanks and limited aircrat,they were unprepared to halt the invasion.

Seoul, the South Korean capital, ell June 28.Ten-President Harry S. ruman, concerned aterWorld War II about the spread o communism,recognized the importance o repelling militaryaggression on the Korean peninsula.

I elt certain that i South Korea was allowedto all, communist leaders would be emboldenedto override nations closer to our own shores,ruman wrote in his autobiography. I thecommunists were permitted to orce their wayinto the Republic o Korea without oppositionrom the ree world, no small nation would havethe courage to resist threat and aggression bystronger communist neighbors.

ruman ordered U.S. air and naval orcesto deend South Korea, and committed groundtroops as part o a combined United Nationsefort. Te 16-member coalition ormed underthe auspices o the U.S.-led United NationsCommand, with ruman naming Army Gen.Douglas MacArthur as its commander.

Te 24th Inantry Division, part o the U.S.occupation orces in Japan under MacArthurscommand ollowing World War II, deployed therst U.S. troops to Korea. Advanced elements othe 24th Inantry Division rushed to Korea ontransport planes to block the enemy advance.

As they awaited ollow-on deployments, the24th Inantry Division troops, known as askForce Smith, sufered heavy losses and ultimately,deeat during their rst signicant engagement

o the war, the Battle o Osan.Outgunned and overpowered, the division

ultimately lost more than 3,600 dead andwounded and almost 3,000 captured as the NorthKorean progressed south.

By September, the U.N. Command controlledonly about 10 percent o Korea in a smallsoutheastern corner o the country aroundBusan.

he Battle o the Pusan Perimeter ragedrom August to September 1950, with the U.S.Air Force and Navy air orces attacking NorthKorean logistics operations and transportationhubs. Meanwhile, troops rom the 7th InantryDivision, 25th Inantry Division, 1st CavalryDivision and other 8th Army supporting unitspoured into South Korea.

Te Inchon Landing, a massive amphibiouslanding in September 1950, ultimately turnedthe tide in the ghting by breaking the NorthKorean armys supply lines. Tis prompted Chinato enter the war on North Koreas behal, ending

hope, as MacArthur had predicted, that the warwould end soon and the troops would be homeor Christmas.

Te conict raged or three more Christmases,with neither side achieving a decisive militaryvictory.

Ultimately, two years o negotiations led toan armistice agreement signed July 27, 1953.Representatives o the North Korean army, theChinese volunteers and the U.N. Commandsigned the agreement, but South Korea reusedto participate.

Te United States lost more than 36,000servicemembers during the Korean War, withmore than 92,000 wounded, more than 8,000missing in action and more than 7,000 taken

prisoner o war.Since the signing o the armistice, South

Korea has emerged as an economic powerhouse,with the worlds 11th-largest economy and a grossdomestic product approaching $1 trillion. NorthKorea, in contrast, remains militarily powerul,but economically isolated.

In its most recent act o provocation, NorthKorea sank the rigate Cheonan March 26, killing46 South Korean sailors.

Legendary commander honored

By Walter . Ham IV8th U.S. Army Public Afairs

YONGSAN GARRISON A statue thathonors legendary Eighth U.S. Army CommanderGen. Walton H. Walker was unveiled beside the8th Army headquarters here June 23.

As the irst 8th U.S. Army commandinggeneral during the Korean War, Walker inspired

his outnumbered and outgunned Soldiers to holdthe line at the Pusan Perimeter in 1950.

Standing on a granite base, the nearly 10-oot-tall bronze statue was donated by the ROK-U.S. Alliance Friendship Society to honor Walkerduring the 60th anniversary o the Korean War.

Te unveiling ceremony was attended bymany senior distinguished visitors, includingU.S. Ambassador Kathleen Stephens, Republico Korea National Security Advisor Lee

Hui-won and United Nations Command,Combined Forces Command and U.S. ForcesKorea Commander Gen. Walter L. Sharp.

Current 8th U.S. Army CommandingGeneral Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Fil, Jr., was a eaturedspeaker and the host o the ceremony.

In August 1950, the Republic o Korea wascornered into a deensive perimeter only 50miles wide by 80 miles long, said Fil. Duringbattle ater battle, UN orces repelled the enemyinvaders and kept them outside o the deensiveperimeter.

Teir tenacity at Pusan led to triumph atIncheon.

According to Fil, Eighth Armys decisivestand at the Pusan Perimeter enabled Gen.Douglas MacArthur to launch OPERAIONCHROMIE where the U.S. Armys X Corpsand the 1st Marine Division poured ashore intoIncheon and turned the tide o the war.

Te Incheon amphibious assault cut of andscattered enemy orces, allowing UN orces

to break out rom the Pusan Perimeter andpursue the enemy all the way to the border withChina.

Tis great turnaround happened because oWalkers leadership and because o the ghtingspirit o the brave, determined and patrioticSoldiers that he inspired, said Fil.

Hundreds o thousands o CommunistChinese Soldiers soon crossed the Yalu River

to join orces with the North Koreans and therontlines see-sawed back and orth, with Seoulchanging hands three times, beore settling closeto the current Demilitarized Zone.

Te bloody conict drug on until an armisticewas signed on July 27, 1953, in Panmumjom,ending active hostilities. Te armistice was neverollowed by a peace treaty.

Speaking on behal o the Republic o Korea

at the ceremony, ROK National Security AdvisorLee Hui-won said that Walker and his Soldiershelped to lay the oundation or todays ROK-U.S. Alliance.

General Walker is a savior and a real hero othe Korean War, said Lee, adding that Walkersaved this great nation rom an extremelyprecarious state.

U.S. Ambassador Kathleen Stephens said thestatue is a reminder o the sacrices that enabledthe Republic o Koreas meteoric rise.

In the last 60 years, the people o theRepublic o Korea have built an energeticdemocracy, a world-class economy and a countrythat has taken its rightul place in the world,said Stephens.

I thank all o our men and women in uniormtoday, Koreans and Americans, and the veteranswho have returned or this special week with us,and our partners here in the Republic o Korea,said Stephens. I thank all o you or honoringGeneral Walkers memory with your dedicationevery day to strengthening this great alliance, thisgreat partnership between the Republic o Koreaand the United States o America.

Fil said it is an honor to command the sameormation that Walker led during the Korean Warand to uphold the legacy o the generations oKoreans and Americans who have served togetherin Korea and around the world.

And just as I have the honor o commandingthe same ormation that Walton Walker

commanded, our men and women in uniormhere today have the honor o upholding thelegacy o service that has made the ROK-U.S. Alliance one o the strongest, most successuland longest lasting alliances in the world, saidFil. oday while recognizing General WaltonWalker and the Soldiers he led, some o whomare here with us today, we continue to proudlydeend the reedom they procured.

Steps to ensure your VoIP is secureUse the junction box which is supplied in

the service package provided by the Voice overInternet Protocol provider. Tis box brings VoIPdirectly into your conventional phone withoutthe use o a home computer. It also helps insulateyour phone rom attacks and helps protect yourcomputer rom viruses it could pick up throughthe Internet.

Keep strong, private passwords to accessthe service web sites that store your voice mailand other audio data. Dont share them withanyone.

I you use a computer to access your voicemail and VoIP account rom a providers web site,help keep that computer protected with a rewall,regular sotware updates, antivirus sotware,antispyware sotware and strong passwords.

Now that you know the basics o VoIP, here

is some more advanced inormation about the

technology, how it works, and the pros and conso using your own computer as a VoIP server.

Te benet o VoIP is that it converts voiceconversations into digital audio, which can besaved on a computer. Tis gives you exibility inhow you participate in a conversation.

For example, in a conerence call, with theVoIP meeting available online as an audio le,you can allow people who missed the meetingto catch up.

I you connect a VoIP phone to the Internetwith 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 VoIP

servers.

Te book, Te Empty Lot Next Door, is a harrowing tale about one childs struggle with a local olk tale aboutparanormal activity. Te story, as Mills remembers, stemmed rom a house that burnt down killing a little girl and therest o her amily. Te little girl who died in the re, nicknamed Candle Face in the story, allegedly haunted the emptylot where the house once stood.

Mills based the story on his own experience o true events that occurred during his childhood.He also includes an underlying theme about suicide prevention in the book. For Mills, whose older brother committed

suicide as a child, getting this message out was a major actor in writing the story. A secondary goal in putting the booktogether was to entertain potential readers about the haunting.

Te Austin, exas native plans to write a prequel to the story. Mills plans to continue research on the actual re to makethe ollow-up as accurate o a depiction o the real-lie events as the rst book. Chief Warrant Ofcer 2 Arthur Mills signs a copy
