Soldiers learn nonlethal tactics at Cobra GoldBy Sgt. Erica Knight

108th Public Affairs Detachment

FORT SURASEE, Thailand The non-

lethal weapons training during Cobra Gold

2010 gave American Soldiers and Royal

Thai Army soldiers a chance to familiarize

themselves with the various types of nonle-thal weapons and when to use them.

A nonlethal weapon is specically

designed to use nonfatal ammunition,

said Larry Brown, the nonlethal weapons

senior analyst for U.S. Pacic Command,

Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii. This class is

for familiarization training and to make

them aware of what is out there.

The Soldiers trained on a Taser gun, a

compressed-air gun and a 12-gauge shotgun

with various types of ammunition. For many

Soldiers assigned to the 218th Maneuver

Enhancement Brigade of the South Caro-

lina Army National Guard, this class was

a refresher, but for the Thai soldiers, theinformation was new and important.

Nonlethal force is becoming more

popular and very effective. There are

more types of nonlethal weapons now and

Soldiers are nding new ways to use them.

The compressed-air gun can be mounted

underneath the M-16 rie. The air gun has

a 15-round magazine that shoots a round

lled with paint and is designed to break

and splatter on impact. The weapon was

originally designed for crowd control. The

paint is used for marking.

Soldiers have started using them at

control points and on convoys, Brown said.

It can be used on vehicles or people and thepaint can last for about a week. When they

see it, people know they are being marked

for something.

Everyone was able to practice on the

various weapons systems, but some of the

218th Soldiers also served as instructors for

the Thai soldiers.

By teaching, the guys are able to g

more in-depth knowledge of the weap

said 1st Sgt. Don Evans from E Comp

1st Battalion, 118th Infantry Regimen

The situations for using nonlethal f

varies greatly from subduing an unar

assailant or a suspect, to civilian cr

control, to protecting or recovering sensequipment, said Evans.

Less-than-lethal force has becom

vital part of combat operations. Amer

Soldiers overseas and Royal Thai A

soldiers are currently using these tactic

minimize collateral damage and to be

to apprehend suspects quickly.

Commentary S. Maj. Scarle SabelCommand Sergeant MajorU.S. Army Garrison JapanBe ready, Army: Dont let a disaster catch you of guard

By now we have all seen the

horric devastation of the 7.0

magnitude earthquake that deci-

mated the impoverished nation of Haiti a

few weeks ago. Hundreds of thousands of

people were killed or injured by the initial

disaster and as the weeks go by, and perhaps

more will die for lack of food, clean water

and basic medical supplies.

From the relative safety of Japan, the

trials of Haiti seem to be far off in another

world. We often think, That could never

happen to us here, but we would be wrong.

A disaster of that magnitude could very

well happen here and we, as a community,need to ensure that we are ready and able

to respond to a massive natural or man-

made disaster.

First, let me put things in an historical

context. Just before noon on Sept. 1, 1923,

a cataclysmic 8.3 magnitude earthquake

ravaged the Kanto Plain of Japan, the area

that includes Tokyo and Kanagawa, where

Camp Zama is located. In addition to the

devastation caused by the quake, a massive

conagration spread throughout the city

of Tokyo and consumed everything in its

path. More than 100,000 people lost their

lives in the aftermath of the Great Kanto

Earthquake.

Now, you are probably saying to yourself

Sergeant Major Stabel, that was nearly 90

years ago. Things wouldnt be that bad to-

day. Think again. In 1995, a 6.8 magnitude

earthquake killed more than 6,000 people

near Kobe, Japan.

Even in economically advanced nations

with strong infrastructure, natural and

man-made disasters can cause an enormous

amount of damage and destroy lives. Ifyou need more proof, revisit the lessons of

Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast or theoods of the Midwest. Aside from being

a nation of rich cultural and breathtaking

natural beauty, Japan is a series of volcanic

islands that sit atop one of the most active

tectonic plates on the globe.

All of the horric instances I have listed

above should serve as a reminder of the

importance of preparedness. In 1960, Japan

declared Sept. 1 to be Disaster Prevention

Day. Every year, Soldiers and civilians from

U.S. Army Japan participate in numerous

drills and scenarios with our Japanese neigh-

bors to help prepare for the unthinkable.

However, we should not only worry about

preparedness once a year. Army families

must always stay vigilant and prepared for

the worst possible scenarios.

At this months community information

exchange at the Camp Zama Community

Club ballroom, a community member point-

ed out the need for everyone to have what I

will call an Oh, My Goodness kit.

This kit should contain all of you andyour familys important documents (birth

certificates, marriage certificates, shot

records, passports, pet information, any

prescription medication info), batteries,

bottled water (enough for several days), a

radio (and no, that doesnt mean an iPod, but

a real radio that uses batteries and can pick

up news reports via Eagle 810), ashlights,

a rst aid kit, dry food goods and maybe

even a book or two, or activities and games

if you have children.Also, have a plan for your family in

of emergencies. Ask yourselves whatwould do in case you are separated or cancontact each other. Make sure you all aand rehearse this plan. You could even it into a game for your children and althem to help prepare for most contingenGetting everyone involved will deni

help this process along. Being prepwell in advance of a potential disaster i

best way to prevent turning bad events catastrophic ones. The next time we hatyphoon headed toward Japan, I dont wto see everyone ghting it out in the c

missaries over the last can of kidney bor roll of toilet paper the night the stor

barreling through Japan.Every single one of us has a role to

to ensure we are never caught off guara disaster.

Dollars and sense: Here comes Military Save

Military Saves is a social marketing cam-paign designed to change cultural attitudes

and behavioral standards around saving

money. It is part of a national campaign

called America Saves, sponsored by the

Consumer Federation of America. America

Saves works through community coalitions

to persuade and encourage people to avoid

debt and build wealth through saving.

Military Saves helps organizations de-

liver positive messages about saving and

invite people to write down their goals to

save money or reduce debt. Organizations

embrace the campaign by inviting members,

employees, customers, and community

members to join as savers. Military Saves

Week is Feb. 22 through March 1.

Military Saves Week is an annual oppor-

tunity for the entire Department of Defense

to focus their collective attention on advo-

cating servicemembers and their families

to establish savings goals and habits that

set money aside for the emergencies and

future wants and needs.

People can set their goals with their

organizations Key Worker or other POC,or online at www.MilitarySaves.org.

Wy Would Someone Wan o Be a

Mlary Saver?

- To reach their goals. Written goals

shared with others are more likely to be

reached.

-T o get out of debt faster or save more

money. People with a written plan save twice

as much money as people who dont.

- Membership benets: a free quar-

terly electronic newsletter, access to other

wealth-building information, and savings

and debt-reduction tips.

- Make a difference. Help establish a

nancially t ghting force by building

personal wealth through saving.

Membership is free and open to every-

one: service- and family members, retirees,

veterans, civil servants, contractors, Naval

Air Facility employees, and friends. Any

American who gets out of debt and saves

money supports the cause of helping our

troops build wealth, not debt.

On-installation banks and credit unions

are important partners in the annual MilitarySaves Week and on-going campaign. They

offer Military Saver products, do special

promotions, provide marketing expertise,

and work hand-in-hand with the MilitarySaves project ofcer to make the week

successful. Other nancial institutions may

support the nationwide marketing effort,

but are not members of the campaign effort

inside the gate.

Military Saves is not a particular savings

product; it is a campaign to persuade people

to get out of debt and save money wherever

they choose. Some people who are new to

saving, however, need special products that

allow them to save a small amount over

time without having to pay fees or have a

certain minimum in their account. There-

fore, participating credit unions and banks

offer at least one product that qualies as

James Colar, front, and Michael Showers, rear, celebrate the New Orleans Sa

31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV during a party held Mon

at the Camp Zama Community Club here that included free food and door priz

In addition to witnessing a historic win

by the New Orleans Saints over the India-

napolis Colts, attendees at Camp Zamas

Super Bowl Party were treated to sizzling

performances from NFL cheerleaders,

prize giveaways and the requisite array of

gridiron grub.

The annual event was held Monday at the

Camp Zama Community Club, with more

than 500 people in attendance. Because

Super Bowl XLIV was broadcast live, the

party began at 7 a.m. to accommodate the

14-hour time difference between Japan and

Miami, where the game was held.

Prior to kickoff a dance routine was

given by six Houston Texans cheerleaders,

special guests at the party who later spent

the majority of the game signing autographs

and posing for photos with fans.

Being able to be there for the men

and women [of the armed forces] and tellthem thank you was an opportunity that

Ive been looking forward to for many

years, said Megan, a rookie on the Texans

cheerleader squad. When I was telling the

Soldiers today, Thank you and the Army

for what you do, and your protection to this

country, and your dedication to our nation,

it really touched me.

A free breakfast buffet was served dur-

ing the pre-game show which, along with

the game itself, was shown on two large

projection screens and several at-screen

TVs hung throughout the CZCC dining hall.From kickoff to the games nal seconds, the

room was continuously lled with boister-

ous cheers and anguished groans from both

Saints and Colts fans as they watched the

exciting championship game unfold.

The Colts took a promising early lead

in the rst quarter, jumping ahead of the

Saints 10-0 following a 38-yard eld goal

by kicker Matt Stover and a 96-yard scoring

drive that ended with a 19-yard touchdown

pass from quarterback Peyton Manning to

wide receiver Pierre Garon.

The Saints struck back with a pair of

impressive passing drives. The rst saw

quarterback Drew Brees completing three

passes for 36 yards that brought his team

to the Colts 22-yard line, but a sack on a

third-down play forced the Saints to settle

for a 40-yard eld goal from kicker Garrett

Hartley. In the closing seconds of the rst

half, the Saints were once again within

scoring distance but could only manage asecond eld goal as time expired.

The Texans cheerleaders performed once

again during halftime and then helped award

the door prizes that were given away at the

end of each quarter and which included

theme park tickets, a laptop computer, a

at-screen TV and two roundtrip airline

tickets to Singapore. A second buffet this

time with hot dogs, chicken wings, pizza

and nachos was also brought out.

A surprise onside kick was the Saintsrst move of the third quarter a risky play

that miraculously worked to the teams

benet when the ball slipped from the

hands of Colts receiver Hank Baskett and

was recovered by Jonathan Casillas whomanaged to hold onto it at the bottom of a

massive player pileup that took more than

a minute to separate.

With possession of the ball, the Saints

offense moved quickly down the eld thanks

to ve consecutive passes from Brees that

totaled 58 yards. Brees ended the drive with

a screen pass to running back Pierre Thomas,

who ran it 16 yards for a touchdown.

The Colts answered with a drive that

took them 76 yards in only 10 plays, which

running back Joseph Addai put the cap on

with a four-yard TD run to bring his team

back over the Saints with a 17-13 lead.

In a game full of shining performances,

one of the most notable came from Hartley:

The 23-year-old from Southlake, Texas, be-came the rst player in Super Bowl history

to complete three eld goals of 40 yards

or more. His nal one, a 47-yarder, put the

Saints back in the lead 17-16.

Following a Colts drive that ended with

an unsuccessful 51-yard eld goal attempt,

the Saints offense was back on the prowl.

Brees, who was unsurprisingly named

Super Bowl MVP, staged another scoring

drive that ended with a two-yard TD pass to

tight end Jeremy Shockey. The Saints were

awarded a two-point conversion, courtesy

of wide receiver Lance Moore, after his

supposedly incomplete pass reception was

overturned upon review.

The Colts had 5 minutes, 42 seconds

more than enough time to score a touchdown

and tie the game with an extra point, or even

take the lead with a two-point conversion.

Until that pass.Manning was ring on all pistons as he

led the Colts on a drive that brought them

to the Saints 26-yard line. On the ensuing

third-down play, however, Manning threw

a pass that was seamlessly intercepted by

cornerback Tracy Porter, who promptly ran

it all the way back for a victory-clenching

74-yard touchdown.

The several Saints fans inside the CZCC

were visibly ecstatic as their celebrated

their favorite franchises rst Super Bowl

victory.

I cant even explain it, said James

Colar. Im from New Orleans, born and

raised, and this is the rst time weve

been able to come together as a city an

Colar, who cited Porters intercep

as the play that put one more nail in

said he enjoyed the festivities of the Su

Bowl party.

Brazilianjiu jitsu heats up at YanoBy Ttu Nkhr

Torii Staff

Brazilianjiu jitsu is a form of martial artsbased in ground ghting. With roots in India,

jiu jitsu later emigrated to Japan, where the

art was further honed and developed, prior

to being brought to Brazil.One of the rst disciples of the sport in

Brazil, Carlos Gracie, became the lighting

rod that sparked a craze for jiu jitsu rst

in his family, and then an entire country.

Jiu jitsus dominance was brought to the

world stage only relatively recently in the

famous Ultimate Fighting Championships

in the United States, where Royce Gracie

defeated all manner of opponents bigger and

stronger than him using only Brazilian jiu

jitsu techniques. Today, jiu jitsu has become

a fundamental part of all Mixed Martial Arts

ghters professional training regimens, and

is also the ofcial system adopted by many

police and military elite forces.

There are members of a Brazilian jiu jitsu

group at Camp Zama who are motivatedby this form of martial arts. The group has

been training at the Yano Fitness Center

here and also at the AXIS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

academy in Tokyo, which has been under

the legendary master Rickson Gracie for

almost four and a half years.

Unfortunately it takes over an hour each

way to get to the main academy in Tokyo,

so we decided to start a jiu jitsu club in

Camp Zama. said the leader of the group,

Sgt. 1st Class Henry Stasiukiewicz, who is

currently a purple belt with eight years of

experience in jiu jitsu.

The group consists of three to 10 people,

depending on the tournament season and

their work schedules. They practice a few

times on weekdays during the evening at

Yano Fitness Center, and they go to theAXIS academy on weekends.

I think jiu jitsu is lot more than a sport,

said Stasiukiewicz. It becomes more of a

lifestyle for people. If you want to be good

at jiu jitsu, it takes lots of time, effort and

dedication. You have to be in good shape,

eat well, and live clean. It also requires a lot

of thought because its very scientic and

technical. It requires analysis. It requires

knowing yourself well.

The group practices while following

International Jiu Jitsu Federation rules. The

practice starts by warming up for the various

ground moves jiu jitsu. Its obviously takesa lot of exibility and stamina to ght on

the ground, said Stasiukiewicz.These guys are very technical and it was

great to see their practice, said Benedict

Caleb, assigned to Naval Air Facility Atsugi,after watching the team practice for the rst

time. Ive experienced jiu jitsu often, as

well as other martial arts. Im glad to see the

guys who they know what theyre doing. Ill

come back again to join the practice.

The group practice in Yano is held from

4:45 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday and Wedneds-

day, and it is voluntary.

My goal is to get my black belt and be

a black belt world champion some day.

said Stasiukiewicz. And I also want to

be a coach or instructor of jiu jitsu in the

future. We take beginners to practice with

us if they are serious about jiu jitsu.
