Naval DistrictWashington commemorated the 70th anniver-sary of the Battle of Midway with a wreath-laying ceremony atthe U.S. Navy Memorial in downtownWashington, June 4.

The Battle of Midway took place from June 4-8 1942, and isnoted as being the first real turning point in the war, and thefirst decisive victory by the United States in the war with Japan.

The Imperial Japanese navy (IJN) had already made broadstrokes in the Pacific, beginning with the attack on Pearl Har-bor, the invasion of the Philippines, Malaya and Singapore, theBattle ofWake Island and recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea.

However, with a sweeping victory at Midway, Allied forceshad sunk four Japanese aircraft carriers and were primed for thecounter-offensive that would win the Pacific War.

Highlights of the ceremony included music throughout theservice provided by the United States Navy Band, and a wreath-laying to join the dozens of others taking place throughout theNavy to remember the battle. The commemoration featuredspeakers such as Director, Marine Corps Staff Lt. Gen. Willie J.Williams, U.S. Coast Guard Deputy Commandant for MissionSupport Vice Adm. Manson K.

If it is anything legal, more than likely it hasto do with the Office of the Judge AdvocateGeneral, also known as OJAG, and it’s head-quartered right here in Naval District Wash-ington (NDW).

Born out of a relatively complex historywith its roots in the British Naval Codes, theposition of Judge Advocate General was creat-ed by an act of Congress in 1880. Over theyears, and especially in the 1940s and 50swhen line officers were given restricted duty toallow them to focus on the practice of military

law, the organization grew into what it is today.While many might consider OJAG as being

the criminal justice system of the Navy,especially after the prominence theorganization enjoyed followingthe running of the popular tel-evision series JAG, trying casesagainst accused criminals is arelatively small part of whatOJAG does. The organization,which shares legal responsibil-ity with the Office of the GeneralCounsel, handles a wide range ofmilitary legal issues, such as admin-istrative and civil law, investigations from theadmiralty, and environmental concerns.

One of the Defense Department's mostpowerful supercomputer centers, located atStennis Space Center, Miss., will more thantriple its computing power this summer whenit adds three new supercomputers.

The additions to the Navy Department ofDefense Supercomputing Resource Center(Navy DSRC) will be operational by the fall.

"This upgrade will put South Mississippi'ssupercomputing capabilities back in the top100 of the world," Dr. Bill Burnett,deputy/technical director of the Stennis-based Naval Meteorology and OceanographyCommand, said of the upgrade.

Navy DSRC is one of five Defense Depart-ment supercomputer centers that Navy, Armyand Air Force scientists and researchers use todesign new aircraft, ships, and military equip-ment; to model and simulate weather and

ocean conditions; and for a wide range of oth-er DoD mission-related science and engi-neering research. The Navy DSRC is a part ofthe Department of Defense High Perform-ance Computing Modernization Program(HPCMP).

The new supercomputers, all IBM iData-Plex Linux clusters, will give the center a ca-pacity of nearly 800 trillion floating point op-erations (teraflops) per second or the capabil-ity to conduct 800 trillion arithmetic calcula-tions per second. One hundred high schoolstudents with handheld calculators wouldtake nearly 317 years to perform the numberof calculations a teraflop-rated computer canaccomplish in one second - almost 250,000years to perform what the new Navy DSRCcomputers will be capable of every second.

The additions will allow the center to retireits existing IBM Power5+ system, an IBM Pow-er6 system, and a Cray XT5 system at the endof the year.

In a nod to the Navy DSRC's location atStennis Space Center, the systems will be

named after astronauts who have served inthe Navy: Fred Haise, a retired U.S. Air Forceofficer who also served as a Navy and MarineCorps aviator and the Apollo 13 pilot; Cmdr.Susan Still Kilrain, a naval aviator who pilotedtwo shuttle missions and more than 30 differ-ent aircraft; and Capt. Eugene Cernan, anaval aviator and the last person to set footon the moon.

"We are especially excited to honor formernaval aviators who have served as astronauts,starting with South Mississippi's own FredHaise," Burnett said. Haise is a native ofBiloxi, Miss.

High performance computing or super-computing allows DoD to make the most ofits dollars spent on research, development,test, and evaluation.

"These supercomputers enable the DoDscience and research community to test andmodel defense systems that cannot be mod-eled in the real world due to time, financial,physical, or safety constraints, and in somecases, they can accomplish this work in a mat-

ter of hours as opposed to the days, weeks, oreven months that traditional research meth-ods can require," said Tom Dunn, director ofthe supercomputing center.

Within the HPCMP, the Navy DSRC isunique in providing supercomputing re-sources available 24/7 to the Naval Meteorol-ogy and Oceanography Command (NMOC).These high performance computing re-sources are used by the Naval OceanographicOffice (NAVOCEANO) and the Fleet Numeri-cal Meteorology and Oceanography Center(FNMOC) for ocean and weather forecasts insupport of U.S. Navy fleet operations.

Two of the iDataPlex systems will be iden-tical, each consisting of 18,816 Sandy BridgeIntel processor cores, 37 terabytes of memoryand 2.3 pedabytes of disk storage space avail-able for computational modeling and re-search. A third iDataPlex system will have4,032 of the same processor cores, eight ter-abytes of memory and 576 terabytes of disk

At Arlington National Cemetery, MemorialDay 2012 was a day of comfort, solace andmessages filled with the reminder of sacrificeby Family members left behind due to thescourge of war. At the annual memorial am-phitheater observance, President Barack Oba-ma addressed the loved ones of deceased ser-vicemembers, the bereaved and those presentto honor American military patriots.

Following the traditional wreath-layingceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns byObama and Joint Base Headquarters-Nation-al Capital Region and Military District ofWashington Commander Maj. Gen. MichaelS. Linnington, the assembled speakers ad-dressed the audience on specific subjects.Thepresident, along with Secretary of DefenseLeon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair-man Gen. Martin Dempsey, spoke of Family,those who died and those who survived theconflicts in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Today, we come together, as Americans,to pray, to reflect, and to remember these he-roes. But tomorrow, this hallowed place willonce again belong to a smaller group of visi-tors who make their way through the gatesand across these fields in the heat and in thecold, in the rain and the snow, following awell-worn path to a certain spot and kneelingin front of a familiar headstone,” the presidentsaid of those who daily visit deceased Familymembers at ANC.

Obama received his largest ovation whenhe vowed not to abandon surviving veteransand their entitlements.

“To all our men and women in uniformwho are here today, know this: The patriotswho rest beneath these hills were fighting formany things — for their Families, for their flag— but above all, they were fighting for you,”Obama said.“As long as I'm president, we willmake sure you and your loved ones receivethe benefits you've earned and the respect

you deserve. America will be there for you.”Before Obama's address, Pannetta saluted

servicemembers who lost their lives duringthe past decade in Iraq and Afghanistan andmade special mention of theVietnam veteranon the half-century anniversary of the begin-ning of American involvement in the South-

east Asia conflict.“As we have for the past 10 Memorial Days,

today we still gather at a time of war,” Panettasaid. “Today the American people rememberthe more than 6,400 heroes who have died indefense of our nation since September 11th.Today we will also pay tribute to the 58,000

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and CoastGuardsmen who died inVietnam on this 50thanniversary of that war. They and their Fami-lies have paid a price beyond measure. Butbecause of their sacrifice, we are free and we

A total of 21 new police officers were wel-comed to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling May29 in a badge ceremony held at StewartThe-ater. With family members looking on, offi-cers joined the ranks of base law enforce-ment while receiving some encouragingwords for the road ahead.

“You’re the first new hires coming aboardhere at JBAB. Thanks for becoming part ofour team,” JBAB Commander Capt. AnthonyCalandra told the group. “This is a veryunique installation with many important or-ganizations that can’t be replaced. I’m sureyou’ll do great work that we’ll all be proud of.”

Taking part in the special ceremony wasJudge William Connelly, U.S. District Courtof Maryland. Connelly has a special attach-ment to JBAB, as 18 of his 28 years as an AirForce reservist were spent on the base alongthe Potomac River. He said it was an honorto return to JBAB and address the new groupof officers.

“I work a great deal with uniformed offi-cers and have an enormous amount of re-spect for them and what they do,” Connellysaid. “Many times the work can be mun-dane, but that can change in a moment’s no-

tice. Police officers are the first ones to puttheir lives on the line.That takes courage andcommitment.”

Officer John Reyes comes to JBAB afterpreviously working as an officer for both theDepartment of Defense and in the civiliansector. He said the group went through fiveweeks of training at the Law EnforcementTraining Center in Little Rock, Ark. Whilethere, he said the group studied many facetsof criminal law, crime scene procedures, pa-trol and response techniques and crisismanagement.

“We learned a lot in how to deescalate asituation. A lot of us have had training likethis before, but it’s always good to learn newtechniques and become a more well-round-ed officer,” Reyes said.“The course was men-tally stressful because there was a lot to takein. Though, without a doubt, it certainly willhelp us in the long run.”

Corp. Justin Smith, who previouslyworked in Air Force Security Forces, is anoth-er officer who will be joining JBAB’s 11th Se-curity Services. He said the course was a goodexperience and mental test in patience.

“It’s a very valuable class to add to ourtool belt. We learned a lot when it comes totestifying and how to properly handle phys-ical evidence," Smith said.“The more knowl-edge we have, the more beneficial we’ll be asofficers out in the field.”

Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 11 participated in a"Race for the Cure" May 27, in the name of fighting breast cancer.

The battalion's First Class Petty Officers' Mess sponsored the 5k run, which generatedmore than $3,000 in donations for the cause. All proceeds went to support the educationand research about causes, treatment, and the search for a cure for breast cancer.

Runners wore pink bracelets, pink ribbon decals, and pink stickers displaying variousmotivational words such as "love," "strength," and "hope" on their clothing to symbolizethe fight against breast cancer.

Lt. j.g. Brian E. Myers, command chaplain, from New London, Conn., finished with thefastest overall time of 18 minutes and 18 seconds thus taking first place among males. BuilderConstructionman Anna L. Parcher, from Jamestown, Pa. finished first among females witha time of 27 minutes and 45 seconds.

The race was coordinated by Legalman 1st Class Misty R. Masters, from Fond du Lac,Wis. According to Masters, the idea to raise awareness and money to combat breast cancerwas born at one of NMCB-11's monthly Women's Wellness Council meetings.

"No one in my family has suffered from this disease," said Masters. "However, my bestfriend's family has had many struggles with breast cancer... you never know who may be af-fected."

Race volunteers handed out cold water and sports drinks to sweat drenched runners atvarious points along the race route.

Runners gathered to congratulate the winners following the race as 1st, 2nd, and 3rdplace certificates were presented in both male and female categories by Cmdr. Lore Aguayo,commanding officer of NMCB-11.

Homeported in Gulfport, Miss., NMCB-11 is deployed to Afghanistan to conduct general,mobility, survivability engineering operations, defensive operations, Afghan National Armypartnering and detachment of units in combined/joint operations area - Afghanistan in or-der to enable the neutralization of the insurgency and support improved governance andstability operations.

Seabees 'Race for theCure' while Deployedto Afghanistan

From Naval Sea Systems Command

The Navy commissioned USS Mississippi(SSN 782), the ninth Virginia-class attacksubmarine, during a ceremony inPascagoula, Miss., June 2

Mississippi, built under a unique teamingagreement between General Dynamics Elec-tric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries -Newport News, delivered to the Navy in justover 62 months - the fastest delivery yet for aVirginia class submarine. All Virginia classsubmarines currently under constructionare on track to deliver early to the Navy.

"Mississippi's commissioning is the cul-mination of a very successful constructionprocess for our Navy/industry shipbuildingteam," said Rear Adm. (sel.) Michael Jabaley,Virginia-class program manager and vicecommander, Naval Sea Systems Command."Mississippi was delivered to the fleet a yearahead of her contracted date, and was themost combat readyVirginia class submarineto date as determined by the Navy's Board ofInspection and Survey."

In time-honored tradition, the ship'ssponsor Allison Stiller, deputy assistant sec-retary of the Navy (ships), issued the order to,"Man our ship and bring her to life!"With theorder, Mississippi's crew ran aboard and

placed the submarine in commission."The Submarine Force and the fleet have

eagerly anticipated this day," said Rear Adm.David Johnson, program executive officerfor submarines. "USS Mississippi providesthe Navy with unique and unparalleled ca-pabilities and joins the fleet at a time whensubmarines are being called upon to per-form vital national security tasking aroundthe globe."

Other upcoming major submarine ac-quisition milestones in 2012 include Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Indiana's (SSN789) construction start Sept. 2 and PCUMinnesota's (SSN 783) christening plannedfor this fall.

Virginia-class submarines are designed todominate the world's littoral and deep wa-ters, while conducting anti-submarine; anti-surface ship; strike; special operation forces;intelligence, surveillance, and reconnais-sance; irregular warfare; and mine warfaremissions. Their inherent stealth, endurance,firepower, and sensor suite directly enablethem to support five of the six maritimestrategy core capabilities - sea control, powerprojection, forward presence, maritime se-curity, and deterrence.

are secure. We are safer because they werewilling to put their lives on the line.”

First to speak at the 144th ANC MemorialDay observance was Dempsey. He reachedout to veterans, Family members of fallenservicemembers and the youth that will sooncarry the torch of remembrance, and he of-fered an idea to help the healing. Dempseychampioned that fellow Americans shouldcontinue to position themselves shoulder-to-shoulder with grieving Americans whohave been tragically touched by recent mili-tary fatalities and older countrymen who stillare inflicted by flashbacks of the fallen whogave their last measure of devotion in eitherEurope, North Africa, Asia or the South Pacif-ic.

“The memory is ours,” Dempsey said.“On Memorial Day, we honor that memorywith heart-felt ceremonies across this land.The pageantry is a manifestation of the sa-cred bond of trust between the military Fam-ily and our larger American Family. But whatreally counts is that we nurture that bond

with those who are still here and how we canturn that memory into action. Today, westand behind Families that will never bewhole again.”

Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall provid-ed significant support at the event. The 3dU.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) pro-vided troops and escorts during the 90-de-gree holiday heat. The Presidential SaluteBattery of TOG rendered the 21-gun saluteupon the arrival of the president.

A pre-event concert was performed byThe U.S. Army Band, “Pershing's Own,” andthe group supplied the music during the ob-servance. Master Sgt. Allyn Van Patten ofTUSAB was the program's bugler while Sgt.Maj. Myles Overton handled the special per-cussion duties.

During the ceremony, The U.S. ArmyBand musical trio of Master Sgt. MichaelFord, Sgt. 1st Class Leigh Ann Hinton andStaff Sgt. Andre McRae combined their voic-es to perform the song ”Last Full Measure ofDevotion”.

The ceremony's wreath bearer was Sgt.1st Class Chad Stackpole, sergeant of theguard, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The OldGuard).

Red Star Over the Pacific: China’s Rise andthe Challenge to U.S. Maritime Strategy byToshi Yoshihara and James R. Holmes. Pub-lished by Naval Institute Press, Annapolis,Maryland. 312 pages, 2010.

ToshiYoshihara and James Holmes are as-sociate professors at the NavalWar College inNewport, Rhode Island. They have publisheda book this October that is an interesting andthought provoking discussion of the rise ofChina’s naval capabilities. It is however a ho-listic approach looking at capabilities, strate-gic thinking, cultural influences and other re-gional powers to assess potential options thatChina may consider in asserting dominanceits hemisphere. The book opens with theChinese rehabilitation of the works of Amer-ican naval strategic theorist Admiral AlfredThayer Mahan (1840-1914) from imperialistto an original and Chinese application of histheories of control of maritime communica-tions. He quotes American national securityjournalist Robert Kaplan’s criticism that theU.S. Navy pays homage to Mahan by namingbuildings after him, the Chinese avidly readhim. It is however, according to the authors,

an amalgamation of Mao “active defense”concept; with Mahan’s theories of sea powerthat synthesizes a truly 21st century Chinesenaval strategy.

Chinese Major General Jiang Shiliang inthe military publication Zhongguo JunshiKexue discusses Mahan in the context ofChina needing to control strategic passagesin which vital goods traverse. The stabilityof China rests on raising the standard of liv-ing for its people and fueling the appetite ofChinese industries with raw materials. Whatis important to note is that the Chinese mil-itary is debating the importance of sea pow-er versus land power as it relates to China’ssecurity and dominance in Asia. In a chap-ter entitled, “Fleet Tactics with Naval Char-acteristics,” the book games out potentialscenarios for a U.S.-China naval engage-ment. The authors use the method and lan-guage of Wayne Hughes to dissect Chinesetactics in the 21st century in the near shoreand on the high seas. The book discussesChina’s naval undersea element, its anti-ship missile component, and Chinese navalconcern for America’s AEGIS systems thatare discussed. What is clear is that China hasonly begun to project naval power, deploy-ing a naval contingent in 2008 to fight Soma-

li piracy along with other nations, includingthe United States. India, Japan, and otherAsian powers are expressing concern re-garding the building of Chinese naval basingin Pakistan and Sri Lanka. India is sensitivethat the British successfully occupied Indiafrom the sea, and is taking measures to as-sert its dominance in the Indian Ocean.

The book is thought provoking, and dis-cusses the People’s Republic Army (Navy) orPLA(N) maritime strategic view of islandchains that encircle China, and the view ofTaiwan in allowing it access to an outer chainof islands. It also does not postulate necessar-ily an aggressive China, but one in which itsinterest and influence are taken into consid-eration by the United States. The book’s finalchapter discusses the incorporation of region-al navies along with the United States in as-suming the burden of guaranteeing free ac-cess to the seas and how China may fit withinthis American naval strategy known popularlyas the 1,000-ship navy. This volume is an ex-cellent read for those interested in Asia, mar-itime strategy, and geo-strategic questions.

By Darryl Orrell, Center for SecurityForces Public Affairs

The Center for Security Forces (CENSEC-FOR) announced June 1 the initial develop-ment of a new crew-served weapons coursethat will be specific to the Navy's SubmarineForce (SUBFOR).

The term "crew-served" is a classificationlike "small arms," and it is used to identifyweapons that require more than one personto operate efficiently, which is largely due tothe size of the weapon and/or its intricacy ofoperation.

"The expectation for this new course is tosignificantly reduce the total time-to-train,"said CENSECFOR Learning Standards Officer,

Roy Wilde. "This will enable submariners toreturn to their boat sooner and yet, have thesame level of quality training as their surfacecounterparts."

Like that of the traditional crew-servedweapons courses currently offered, the newSUBFOR version will also cover both opera-tion and maintenance. However, it will onlycover the single weapon used by the subma-rine force as opposed to the variety ofweapons used by the surface fleet.

CENSECFOR proactively engaged SUB-FOR and the Submarine Learning Center(SLC) early on to design not only the workstructure, but also to populate much of theneeded content planning module (CPM) job,duty, task, and analysis (JDTA) data.

"If we were to use the standard JDTA

methodology, it would have taken severaldays to a week for us to obtain consensusamong stakeholders. By proactively engagingthe stakeholders and subject matter expertsearly and often we were able to do much ofthe heavy lifting prior to bringing everyone toa face-to-face meeting.That enabled us to val-idate and gain full Type Commander concur-rence in less than three hours, which is quiteexceptional," Wilde said.

Naval Education and Training Com-mand's (NETC) Course Development and Re-vision Process or End-to-End (E2E), is aprocess that guides a course of instructionfrom initial development through final deliv-ery.The process is triggered by the emergenceof new fleet training requirements, humanperformance requirements review, a change

in occupational standards, or by internalcourse reviews.

Wilde concluded by citing that a firm datefor course availability has yet to be deter-mined, but it could feasibly be as early as thefall of 2012.

The Center for Security Forces providesspecialized training to more than 22,000 stu-dents each year and has 14 training sites lo-cated in the U.S. and around the world.

distributed to the Midway veterans. The proclamationthanked the veterans for their distinguished service, remark-ing that "we recognize the need to carry forward the legacy ofthe many heroes of the Battle of Midway who have spoken toour Sailors and to the public about their contributions to theNavy and our nation."

The recognition of the Midway veterans was assuredlya highlight of the commemoration, yet the veteransthemselves appreciated the effort put forth in recognizingthem and the importance to remember the events thathad occurred.

"I thought it was great; very heartwarming and emo-tional," said retired Gunner's Mate 1st Class Hank Kudzik."Men died back then, and we had to commit their souls tothe sea. It brings back memories all the time, but I am for-tunate to be here."

"Veteran Howard Snell, a retired sonar technician, appre-ciated the Navy Band's performance and the showmanshipof the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard."

"If you don't get goose pimples hearing the music and see-ing them walking around out there then you aren't a good-oldcitizen of this great nation of ours," said Snell.

that the Navy demands the very best outof its JAG Corps.

"A young lieutenant will come in andwill work on a case that originated some-where else in the Navy but has escalatedto come here to D.C., whether it’s a jus-tice case on appeal or a personnel actionthat the SECNAV has to review… a veryyoung lawyer right out of law school willhave some very big issues that they'redealing with, and not one at a time," saidThompson.

As the Navy grows and evolves withtime and technology, so does the OJAG.OJAG is undergoing a major realignment,known as OJAG 2020, of its 18 commandsto form 14 commands "with the end goal

of having a more focused military justicepractice, and to provide the same level oftraining and opportunity for all new offi-cers". The realignment is intended to pre-pare OJAG for the year 2020 to "find solu-tions wherever and whenever needed tothe legal challenges ahead."

According to Thompson, one of thethings people outside of the JAG Corps,and even within, don't realize about theirwork is the vast complexity of issues facedby lawyers in the organization.

"People don't have a deep apprecia-tion for the number of issues that the JAGCorps deal with on a daily basis," saidThompson. "I don't think that there is arecent policy that the Navy has put out ofany great magnitude that hasn't had auniformed JA assigned to it."
