Cost of
Cable
Garrisons in Korea
to charge for basic
cable packages
By Russell Wicke
russell.a.wicke@us.army.mil
YONGSAN GARRISON — Beginning
July 1, U.S. Army garrisons in Korea will join
other overseas garrisons by charging a monthly
rate for cable television services for patrons
who reside on post. 
All patrons will pay a basic maintenance and
distribution fee of $15 a month for the basic ca-
ble TV package, which will expand to include
all AFN channels. Those patrons that subscribe
to the Premium service will pay the $15 main-
tenance fee plus $25 for the Premium channels
-- or a total of $40.  Premium subscribers cur-
rently pay $35 per month so that is only a $5 in-
crease, said Ron Buss, Family and Morale, Wel-
fare and Recreation Business Programs chief.
Patrons who currently receive the free basic
service and wish to sign up for the new basic

or upgrade to premium service should contact
their local cable TV customer service office at
738-2288 (CATV).
What to Expect Until Then
Cable technicians will be installing neces-
sary equipment in garrison buildings and be-
gin disconnecting nonsubscribers on June 1.
Buss said he expected to have the new system
in place and fully operational by July 1. During
the month of June patrons may experience oc-
casional interruptions in cable service as tech-
nicians calibrate the system, said Buss.
By July 1, those who have not subscribed for
basic or premium cable service will no longer
receive the service. However, at any time they
can register for basic or premium service by
calling the cable TV helpdesk number, listed
above.
Patrons who prefer not to pay may set up

Bystander intervention
u Sexual Assault Helpline: Pentagon reveals new initiative
to aide and support rape victims. Page 18
is key to rape prevention
By Gen. Walter L. Sharp
U.S. Forces Korea Commanding General
YONDSAN GARRISON — This April, the Depart-
ment of Defense will mark the seventh annual Sexual As-
sault Awareness Month. The 2011 theme for Sexual Assault
Awareness Month is “Hurts One. Affects All.”
Under DoD Directive 6495.01, sexual assault is defined
as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force,
threats, intimidation, abuse of authority, or when the victim
does not or cannot consent. Most sexual assaults occur be-
tween people who know each other (i.e., friends, acquain-
tances, co-workers, etc). The DoD estimates that 20 percent
of sexual assaults are reported, e.g., through a Sexual As-
sault Response Coordinator and/or law enforcement agen-
cies. Interactions between people that might eventually
lead to a sexual assault often begin in social settings, such
as parties and night clubs. Commander of U.S. Forces in Korea Gen. Walter Sharp, U.S.

Encrypting e-mails is not new to
the DoD. The DoD has policies direct-
ing users when to encrypt emails and
these policies have been around for
some time. The policies apply to all
unclassified e-mail sent from DoD-
owned, operated or controlled systems
or accounts to include desktops, lap-
tops, and personal electronic devices
such as BlackBerry devices.
OPSEC surveys conducted by the
Joint OPSEC Support Element found
when personnel failed to encrypt e-
mails they usually fell into one of three
categories : Individuals did not con-
figure the computer device they are us-
ing to send encrypted e-mails,
personnel did not know what
to encrypt, and personnel did
not know how to encrypt. All
of these situations can be cor-
rected by commanders and
directors with the help
of their OPSEC officer
and Information
Technology staff:
First: Get in-
volved and take an
active effort to ensure your organiza-
tion’s computer devices used to send
sensitive e-mails are properly config-
ured to encrypt emails. In addition,
ensure all personnel publish their PKI
certificates to the Global Address List
(GAL).
Second: Ensure personnel are
trained on what to encrypt and made
aware of your higher headquarters and
your organization’s critical informa-
tion list. Remember, personnel must
not encrypt every e-mail message as
this can increase the bandwidth of
messages and possibly cause a negative
effect on DoD networks.
In addition to being aware of your
higher headquarters and organiza-
tion’s critical information list, also
include in training and awareness,
the need for personnel to encrypt con-
trolled unclassified information and
other sensitive information, such as
personal information.
Third: Personnel must be trained
on how to encrypt sensitive unclassi-
fied e-mails. Incorporate encryption
training in initial, annual and recur-
ring OPSEC training. An excellent
source for additional training for per-
sonnel to know how to encrypt emails
can be found at http://iase.disa.mil/
eta/using_pki/launchpage (Using PKI
Certificates).
In this information age we must
safeguard our sensitive and critical in-
formation to maintain an advantage
over adversaries. When we fail to pro-
tect information we are the weakest
link in protecting our own, others, and
our command’s critical information.
The ultimate goal of OPSEC is in-
creased mission effectiveness. To pre-
vent our adversaries from gaining ac-
cess to critical information, you must
be the strongest link and encrypt sen-
sitive e-mails. If you would not hand
your sensitive e-mails to the enemy,
don’t send them unencrypted. x

Police Blotter
The following entries were ex-
cerpted from the police blotters
the previous week. These entries
may be incomplete and do not
imply guilt or innocence.

USAG Red Cloud

Wrongful Use of a Controlled
Substance: Investigation de-
termined Subject submitted
a urine sample which subse-
quently tested positive for the
presence of Oxycodone. Subject
was interviewed and admitted
to consuming a Percocet pill he
received from another Soldier.
This is a final report.

USAG Yongsan
Damage to Private Property;
Subject kicked the side of Vic-
tim’s private vehicle resulting in
damage to the right front door of
the vehicle. Subject was appre-
hended by Korean National Po-
lice and transported to the KNP
Station where he was charged
under with Damage to Private
Property. Subject was released
into military police custody and
transported to the MP station
where he was administered a
portable breath test, with a re-
sult of .086 percent blood alco-
hol content. Due to his level of
intoxication, Subject was pro-
cessed and released to his unit
with instructions to return to
the MP station at a later time. At
a later time Subject #1 reported
to the provost marshal’s office,
was processed and released to
his unit. Estimated cost of dam-
age is unknown.
USAG Humphreys
Assault Consummated by
Battery: Subject and Victim were
involved in a physical alterca-
tion when Subject struck Victim
twice in the face with a closed
fist. Victim sustained injuries
consisting of a bloody nose and
redness over her right eye. Sub-
ject was apprehended and trans-
ported to the provost marshal’s
office, was processed and re-
leased to her unit. This is a final
report.
Osan Air Base
Underage Drinking: Secu-
rity Forces responded to a loud
noise, made contact with Subject
and detected an odor of an alco-
holic beverage emitting from her
person. A check of Subject’s ID
revealed she was under the legal
age to consume alcohol. Subject
was apprehended and transport-
ed to the SF Station, processed
and released to her unit.
Kunsan Air Base
Larceny of Private Property:
Victim hired an off-base taxi
and upon arrival at the Main
Gate, he leaned out of the cab to
vomit. While the victim was pre-
occupied with tossing his cook-
ies, the driver reached into his
wallet and removed his money.
Estimated cost of loss is $35 and
60,000 Won.
Jongmyo (Royal Shrine)
The image here is the entrance to Jongmyo, a Dwelling Place of the Spirits of Joseon Era Kings. The first king of the Joseon
Dynasty, King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye) built Jongmyo in 1394 when Seoul was known as Hanyang. At this royal ancestral shrine,
the spirit tablets of Korea’s past kings and queens are enshrined, and memorial rites are performed. Although two of the
buildings were destroyed by Japanese invaders in 1592, the tablets were hidden and kept safe and returned to Jongmyo in
1608. Jongmyo was built with much influence from the Chinese. The structures at Jongmyo are simple, long houses built us-
ing timbers. They’re impressive yet have a solemn quality to them in order to match the atmosphere when ancestral rites were
performed on the grounds. Many shrines similar to Jongmyo existed throughout Korea in the Three Kingdoms Period, but only
ones from the Joseon era remain today. Furthermore, while there are many shrines that exist throughout the world, Jongmyo
is unique in that it is still in existence after 600 years, considering how many structures were destroyed during Japanese oc-
cupation and during the Korean War. To get there take subway, Line 3 or 5 to Jongro-3ga Station, Exit 7 and walk about 200
meters. For more information, call (02)765-0195 or visit http://jm.cha.go.kr — U.S. Army photo by Pvt. Jeong Yee-taek

We honor military children
By Col. Joseph P. Moore
Humphreys Garrison Commander
HUMPHREYS GARRISON — On
Saturday, we are hosting our annual
Eggstravaganza, a giant Easter egg
hunt and morning full of activities
for children. It fittingly takes place in
April, the Month of the Military Child.
While the event will be fun for the chil-
dren, it also affords us a chance to rec-
ognize their contributions.
Military children face multiple de-
ployments by one or both parents at an
age where they are unable to grasp the
reason why or understand the emo-
tions involved. That is why support
programs are in place and why recog-
nizing their contributions during the
Month of the Military child is vital.
Eggstravaganza combines Easter,
the Month of the Military Child, and
the Camp Humphreys Salute to Kids
into one big, vibrant celebration. The
event will see children searching excit-
edly for over 15,000 eggs and toys, plus
blow-up games, booths, and the best
kind of food, free. Adding to the chil-
dren’s sense of adventure will be the
inclusion of nine prize eggs contain-
ing Exchange gift certificates and toys.
Then there are carnival games, face-
painting, and Easter Bunny photos.
This day will be a fitting reward
for the children who give so much to
our lives and community. They have
handled their challenges with a cour-
age and resilience which belie their
years. Be it a deployment or leaving
their school and friends behind dur-
ing another PCS, military children
face challenges their civilian counter-
parts do not, and that is why we em-
phasize events like the Eggstravaganza
and strive to include youth activities
throughout the year.
Cable fees pay for distribution
CABLE
an antenna where an AFN TV signal is
available.
Why Charge for Cable?
The decision to charge for cable TV
is necessary to remain fiscally respon-
sible. In the past FMWR budgets al-
lowed for free cable TV in Korea partly
because it was affordable at the time.
They aren’t any longer, Buss said. Cable
TV is an FMWR program in a category
designed to break even – generating
neither profit nor expenses. Currently
the cost to non-appropriated funds for
cable TV is more than $2 million an-
nually.
In a nutshell, “We need to collect
the $15 maintenance and distribution
fee to offset the cost of operating the
program,” Buss said.
Buss suggested these prices remain
a generous benefit to patrons when
compared to continental U.S.-based
garrisons.
A goal of FMWR, he said, is to pro-
NEWS THE MORNING CALM
— Col. Joseph P. Moore —
So while Eggstravaganza is among
the most conspicuous youth activi-
ties, it is only one available on Camp
Humphreys. There are year-round
opportunities for military children to
sing, dance, draw, run, throw, explore,
and much more. The excellent work
at the Child Development Center and
Humphreys American School ensure
military children have the avenues to
explore and to hone their skills and
interests, while having a good time in
the process. Next Month, Splish and
Splash opens, and is indicative of some
of the seasonal offerings available to
children on Humphreys.
While deployments and frequent
moves are never easy to deal with, we
are ensuring that plans and activi-

vide Soldiers the things they would
have back in the United States. Under
these new operating principles, Sol-
diers will have these benefits in Korea
at cheaper costs than what they would
be paying in the United States. 
“I don’t know of anywhere else a
person can receive an equivalent cable
package for the prices here,” said Buss,
noting that in the United States sol-
diers would be paying more than dou-
ble for equivalent cable packages. Buss
also noted that plans are underway to
bring high-definition TV services to
cable TV on Army installations in Ko-
rea and said the new changes will help
accomplish that.
Like many other governments
around the world coping with global
recession, Uncle Sam is “on a diet,”
said Dan Thompson, IMCOM-Korea
Public Affairs officer, and the current
operating mindset reflects this healthy
change. x

Manchu Phelps sweeps Swimming Championship

By Sgt. Michael Dator
2nd ID Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD – On a Sunday
while his fellow Korean Augmentation
to the U.S. Army Soldiers were enjoying
time outside with their friends and
families, an infantryman with B
Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry,
wrote history on post.
Pvt. Lee Jeong-woo participated
in the 2011 Warrior Country Indoor
Swimming Championship at the Camp
Red Cloud indoor pool March 19 and
won five gold medals and one silver
medal.
Out of nine individual events Lee
chose the 50-meter and 100-meter
butterfly, and the 50-meter and
100-meter breaststroke in the men’s 32
and under division. He won all four of
them.
“I was confident of butterfly strokes,
but it costs a lot of stamina, and
breaststrokes demand less energy,”
said Lee. “I guess choosing the two
events in a tactical manner was the key
for earning four individual events.”
He started swimming when he
was five-years old and represented his
elementary school at the Uijongbu City
swimming championship. Swimming
has been his best friend ever since.
Lee joined the Army November 2010
and settled in Camp Casey last January
after basic training.
As soon as he saw the swimming
placard on post, he decided to join the
competition, he said.
“At first I was thinking that it was
good enough for just being part of
a meaningful event, but as soon as I
saw the list of events I thought I could
actually win some medals,” he said.
Not just some, but the Soldier also
won a gold in the 200-meter medley
relay and took a silver in the 200-meter
freestyle relay on team events by
grouping up with his “Manchu”
KATUSA buddies.
Lee said conducting extra physical
training with his KATUSA comrades
helped him maintain his swimming
skills.
“I always wanted to be a member of
the Manchu, which is highly reputed
not only among KATUSAs but also
U.S. Soldiers,” said the infantryman.
“I wanted to spend my two years of
military service at a place where I can
challenge myself.”
This outgoing private also likes all
kinds of sports that require team spirit.
He claimed he would be more than
happy to participate again in these
kinds of sports events.
“While swimming, the swimmer
encounters moments when they really
want to give up,” said Lee. “However,
when they give up at that point, I am
pretty sure they are going to regret it.”
“Once everything is over, the result
reveals whether I did my best or not,”
he added.
I hope the lessons I learned from
swimming will help me as a Soldier.” x

Soldiers check their physical limit at 2011 Ultra Fitness Challenge

Story and photo by
Pfc. Chang Han-Him
2nd ID Public Affairs
CAMP RED CLOUD – Participants
of the 2011 Warrior Country Invitational
Ultra Fitness Challenge held April 9
at Camp Casey may have chosen the
toughest.
Each participant was required to
complete a course that included seven
stations throughout camps Casey
and Hovey. The seven elements were
designed to test three main physical
abilities of the Soldiers: strength,
endurance and agility.
“This event started last year with the
vision of combining all the participants’
aspects of fitness and function in one
place,” said Area I Sports, Fitness and
Aquatics Director Randy Behr. “I hope
all Area I ID holders can have fun
together challenging themselves in
this kind of event rather than working
out by themselves.”
As soon as Behr pulled the trigger
on the starting pistol, challengers
sprinted to the place where their bikes
were located. They then rode the bikes
seven kilometers around Camp Casey
to check their ‘endurance.’ When they
came back to the starting point, they
were told to flip tires at Carey Field.
“For me, the tire flip section was the
harshest,” said Maj. Wendell Rhodes
from Headquarters and Headquarters
Company, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat
Team. “Flipping the massive tire back
and forth around the field takes a lot
out of you.”
Their strength was the next thing
to be tested. The contestants ran five
kilometers to the Camp Hovey obstacle
course with a 35-lb. rucksack. When
they came back to the Schoonover Bowl
they tested their agility by running up
and down the stairs of the stadium.
“Drinking a lot of water to prevent
dehydration is the most important
thing in this kind of energy consuming
events” said Pfc. Wesly B. Arrison from
C Company, 302nd Brigade Support
Battalion. Medics from the 302nd BSB
provided medical support by checking
the Soldiers’ condition throughout the
entire event to prevent severe injuries.
The final event for the participants
was to run back to the starting line
while wearing their rucksack.
When it was all said and done, the
first Soldier to cross the finish line
was 1st Lt. Nicholas Shamrell from A
Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Aviation
Regiment from K-16 Airbase. He beat
the previous record by four minutes
and finished the challenge in 48
minutes and 42 seconds. Second place
went to Pfc. Daniel Lavander from
A Company, Task Force, 1-72 Armor
Regiment who was only 30 seconds
behind Shamrell.
Shamrell said hiking for many years
helped him get off to a good start in
the mountain bike portion, and that
helped him win the race. However, he
said he was not used to running with a
rucksack, so that was the hardest part
for him.
“It was a good learning experience
to check what my body is capable of,”
Shamrell said. “I hope more people 2nd Lt. Sibbaluca, Kristoffer, 1st Battal-
ion, 72nd Armor Regiment flips tire at the
could come next time and share this
experience together.” x Ultra fitness challenge April 7.

YONGSAN GARRISON - Celebrating April as
Month of the Military Child, U.S. Army Garrison
Yongsan provided a special event, Military Child
Community Fun Fair, to the dependants of Service-
members and their Families at the Child Develop-
ment Center parking lot April 9.
USAG Yongsan Child, Youth and School Services
set up a myriad of events for Families as well as their
children. Dozens of booths equipped with a variety of festive
activities, demonstrations and exhibits attracted the visitors.
Performances by children such as martial arts and ballet also
brought Family Members together during the event.
“Garrison Yongsan plans numerous events ranging from
recreational fairs to fun festivals to recognize and applaud
children and their families, who are everyday supporters of the
Army,” said Melody Francis, Director of Parent and Outreach
Services. “Everybody is invited for this event today including
children, parents and grandparents. This is just all about cel-
ebrating the Military Children.”
Community partners prepared all the events and plenty
of food including fingernail and face painting, hair braiding,
dunk booth, free Putt-Putt and batting cages and a photo zone
where you could take pictures in Hanbok, traditional Korean
dress. Some of them also gave away prizes to the children when
they completed the games.

Children also had a chance to learn and teach safety to
each other through games and direct participation. The Girl
Scouts prepared lessons to teach kids about safety when riding
a bicycle and raffled off a bike. The kids rode the bicycles and
learned about safe riding.
“We are telling kids to wear helmets and avoid riding a bi-
cycle at night. It’s really fun to teach them,” said Jordan Loge,
4th grader at Seoul American Elementary School.
The Month of Military Child Community Fun Festival last-
ed for about three hours and ended in great success.
“Garrison Yongsan and the Installation Management Com-
munity supports all Soldiers, Families and Army Civilians
with quality programs and safe communities that meet their
needs,” said USAG Yongsan Garrison Commander Col. Wil-
liam Huber. “We are keeping our promise to make Yongsan a
place where community members can thrive.” x

U.S. Soldiers honor

Korea’s Admiral Yi
From U.S. Forces Korea Public Affairs
CHINHAE, Korea — Thirty-five
Sailors and soldiers from Commander,
Fleet Activities Chinhae, Korea and
its tenant commands took part in the
Ceremonial Victory Parade of Admiral
Yi Sun-sin as a part of the renowned
annual Cherry Blossom Festival here
April 5.
Sailors were joined by 21 Marines
stationed in Camp Mujuk to represent
the U.S. Sea Services to honor Admiral
Yi, the great Korean naval hero, whose
navy won numerous victories against a
much larger Japanese Navy.
This was a special day, particularly
for the Sailors and Marines, since it
was a day to give tribute to a fellow
seafarer who changed the course of the
Korean history with his bravery and
astute naval tactics. YNC Cuong Kim
noted, “I am so happy to be a part of
this celebration. We heard so much
about Admiral Yi and it’s a privilege to
be a part of a parade giving honor to a
great naval leader.”
This marked the first time for the
U.S. forces in Korea to take part in
the annual parade honoring Admiral
Yi’s great feats. “When I found out we
never took part in this event before,
it made it even more special that I
got to be a part of this great parade,”
remarked Petty Officer 3rd Class Jose
Jones.
Thousands of citizens of Chin-
hae and Changwon and tourists from
all over Korea lined up the streets of
Chinhae to watch the reenactment of
Admiral Yi’s victory. Not only did the
spectators see a great parade, they
saw U.S. servicemembers stationed
in Korea showing goodwill and soli-
darity. Sailors, Soldiers, and Marines
were warmly received by the Koreans
as they paraded through the down-
town Chinhae. After the parade, the
servicemembers visited the Admiral
Yi’s statue located near CFAC and took
part in the Tea and Flower Dedica-
tion Ceremony led by CDR Don Mur-
ray, CFAC Commanding Officer, CDR
Steve Miller, CFAC Chief Staff Officer,
and Lt. Col. Edith Cordery, Camp Mu-
juk Commanding Officer. While pay-
ing respects to Admiral Yi, the par-
ticipants took time to reflect on their
call to duty and service to their nation.
“This event allowed me to think about
my work as a Sailor and how I need to
serve my country and my fellow citi-
zens,” said Petty Officer 2nd Class Ben-
jamin Carter.

Sharp says ROK-U.S.

alliance ready to fight
By Walter T. Ham IV
8th Army Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — The senior U.S.
military commander in South Korea
told the Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee that the Republic of Korea-
United States Alliance is ready to con-
front and defeat any aggression against
South Korea.
Appearing before the committee
with Pacific Command Commander
Adm. Robert F. Willard, U.S. Army
Gen. Walter L. “Skip” Sharp, com-
mander of United Nations Command,
Combined Forces Command and U.S.
Forces Korea, testified at a hearing
at the Russell Senate Office Building
April 12.
Sharp said South Korea is a “global
Gen. Walter L. Sharp, commander of Unit-
ed Nations Command, Combined Forces

security partner” serving on provincial
reconstruction teams in Afghanistan
and in counter-piracy operations off
the coast of Somalia. “Most impor-
tantly, the Republic of Korea and U.S.
Alliance continues to deter a North
Korea that threatens both regional and
global peace and security,” Sharp testi-
fied. “Last year, the Republic of Korea
was the victim of two unprovoked at-
tacks by North Korea.”
Citing the 50 lives lost during the
North Korean torpedo attack on the
ROK Ship Cheonan and the shelling
of Yeonpyeong Island last year, Sharp
said the alliance is ready to deter North
Korean aggression or to fight and win,
if deterrence fails.
“The alliance stands ready to ad-
dress the full spectrum of conflict that
could emerge on the Korean Penin-
sula,” said Sharp. “Maintaining this
preparedness is accomplished through
the development and continual refine-
ment of bilateral plans to deter and
defeat provocations, attacks like last
year, and aggression while maintain-
ing an ability to respond to other de-
stabilizing conditions that could affect
the Korean Peninsula.”
Sharp said annual peninsula-wide
exercises enable the ROK-U.S. Alliance
to defend South Korea and maintain
security in Northeast Asia.
“Three annual joint, combined, and
interagency exercises – Ulchi Freedom
Guardian, Key Resolve, and Foal Eagle
– serve as key enablers for maintain-
ing the Combined Command’s fight
tonight readiness,” said Sharp. x

Military Children Deserve Nation’s Gratitude for challenges

By Elaine Sanchez
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON — Military children continually
rise to the challenges of military life and deserve the
nation’s gratitude for doing so, a Defense Depart-
ment official said April 1.
“We applaud their character and maturity, and we
acknowledge that kids serve too,” Robert L. Gordon
III, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military
community and family policy, wrote in a blog today
titled “Month of the Military Child: Kids Serve Too.”
Each April, Americans pause to recognize the
contributions and sacrifices of the nation’s 1.8 mil-
lion military children and youth during Month of
the Military Child.
“It’s a life of frequent moves, changing schools,
leaving friends and making new friends,” Gordon
wrote.
Gordon highlighted a few of the Defense Depart-
ment’s programs intended to support military fami-
lies and children.
The department, for example, is working with
state officials to develop the Interstate Compact
on Educational Opportunity for Military Children,
Gordon said, which is designed to ease school transi-
tions and to support children through deployments.
The compact provides common guidelines for par-
ticipating states to follow in handling issues such
as enrollment age, records transfer and graduation
requirements.
So far, 35 states have adopted the compact, which
encompasses 88 percent of military school-age chil-
dren, he said.
The department also is working to increase ac-
cess to quality, affordable child care, Gordon said,
acknowledging the child care issues that may arise
when a family lives away from an installation, or
when an installation isn’t able to meet the demand
for care.
The Defense Department’s child care expansion
initiative is a step toward answering this growing
need, Gordon said. The initiative, he explained, is
intended to increase access to quality child care in
the communities where military families reside.
A new, 365-page guide offers families support dur-
ing deployments, he said. The Military Deployment
Guide covers a wide range of issues related to deploy-
ment, with chapters dedicated to helping children
cope with separations and adjustments when the de-
ployed parent comes home.
Additionally, Gordon wrote, installations around
the world offer a wide range of activities for military
children at child care centers, youth centers, clubs
and camps.
Gordon praised the efforts of the volunteers who
are providing vital support to these programs.
“I see the enormous amount of good done by the
hands and hearts of volunteers,” he wrote. “Their
selfless work changes lives and strengthens our na-
tion.”
Gordon encouraged people to volunteer this
month at one of the many organizations dedicated
to military children. He suggested people visit Serve.
gov at www.serve.gov to find volunteer opportunities
or to create their own. They also can share their vol-
unteer stories on Serve.gov’s Facebook wall at www.
facebook.com/serve
“Children are first in the mind of their parents,
and during Month of the Military Child, we hope
they become first in the minds of their communities
as well,” he wrote. x

Obama issues Medals of Honor to Korean War Vets

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama will award the Medal of
Honor to two soldiers May 2 for con-
spicuous gallantry nearly 60 years ago
during the Korean War, White House
officials announced April 13.
Officials said Army Pfcs. Anthony T.
Kaho’ohanohano and Henry Svehlawill
will receive the nation’s highest award
for valor in combat posthumously in a
May 2 White House ceremony.
On Sept. 1, 1951, Kaho’ohanohano
was in charge of a machine-gun squad
with Company H, 17th Infantry Regi-
ment, 7th Infantry Division. When
faced by an enemy with overwhelming
numbers, he ordered his squad to take
up more defensible positions and pro-
vide covering fire for the withdrawing
friendly force.
He then gathered a supply of gre-
nades and ammunition and returned
to his original position to face the en-
emy alone - delivering deadly accurate
fire into the ranks of the onrushing
enemy.
When his ammunition was deplet-
ed, he engaged the enemy in hand-to-
hand combat until he was killed.
His stand inspired his comrades to
launch a counterattack that complete-
ly repulsed the enemy, a White House
statement said.
Kaho’ohanohano’s sister, Elaine
Kaho’ohanohano, and brother, Eugene
Kaho’ohanohano, will join the presi-
dent at the Medal of Honor ceremony.
Svehla was a rifleman with Com-
pany F, 32d Infantry Regiment, 7th In-
fantry Division. On June 12, 1952, his
platoon came under heavy fire. With
his platoon’s attack beginning to falter,
Svehla charged the enemy positions,
firing his weapon and throwing gre-
nades as he advanced.
Disregarding his own safety, he de-
stroyed enemy positions and inflicted
heavy casualties. He died when he
threw himself on an enemy grenade
that landed among a group of his com-
rades.
His sisters, Dorothy Mathews and
Sylvia Svehla, will join Obama at the
ceremony. x

12 that the remains of a serviceman, missing in action
from the Korean War, have been identified and returned
to his family for burial with full mili-
tary honors.
Army Cpl. John W. Lutz, 21, of Ke-
arny, N.J., was buried April 13 at Ar-
lington National Cemetery.
From May 16-20, 1951, Task Force

Infantry Company, part of Task Force
Zebra, went missing while his unit
was attempting to infiltrate enemy
lines near Chaun-ni, South Korea,
along the Hongcheon River Valley.
After the 1953 armistice, surviving
POWs said Lutz had been captured
by enemy forces on May 19, marched
north to a POW camp in Suan Coun-
ty, North Korea, and died of malnutrition in July 1951.

ASSAULT
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON — Defense De-
partment officials launched the Penta-
gon’s newest initiative to support vic-
tims of sexual assault April 15.
The DoD Safe Helpline allows ser-
vice members to click, call or text for
victim support services for themselves
or others.
The resource is free, anonymous
and confidential. Those who need the
service will connect with live sexual as-

hours a day, every day.
In addition to improving vic-
tim care, officials designed the Safe

to encourage victims to come forward

2nd ID commander visits 4-7th Cavalry in Philippines
By Maj. Edzel Butac
8th Army Public Affairs
PAMPANGA, Philippines —
Second Infantry Division Com-
mander Maj. Gen. Michael S. Tucker
visited troops from the division’s 4th
Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment
participating during Exercise Balika-
tan 2011 in the Republic of the Phil-
ippines.
The 2nd ID, based out of South
Korea, sent approximately 500 Sol-
diers from the 4-7th Cavalry in sup-
port of the exercise.
“We are fired up to have the com-
manding general here,” said Lt. Col.
Mike Adams, 4-7th Cavalry com-
mander. “The Soldiers are excited,
we are ready for training and we are
executing what we came here to do
with our Philippine Army counter-
parts.”
Tucker talked to the 4-7th Cavalry
troopers and thanked them for their
participation in the exercise, the first
for a unit assigned to the Korean
Peninsula.
“What you’re doing here at Balika-
tan has global implications,” Tucker
said. “You might not realize it at this
moment, but believe me, our bilater-
al partnership with the Philippines is
very important in the global war on
terrorism. You’re all ambassadors of
the United States.”
Tucker also took time to re-enlist
six Soldiers from the 4-7th Cavalry
during his visit here. “It was great to
be re-enlisted by the CG today,” Staff
Sgt. Avery Mack, one of the re-enlist-
ees, said.
“This is the greatest job on earth
and now I’m gainfully employed for
the next four years.”
This is the second time the 4-7th
Cavalry has been in this locale.
“It is a historic return for our unit
here in the Philippines. 4-7th Cav-
alry was here during World War II
and actually performed their mis-
sion just north of where we are right
now,” Adams said.
The unit received three of the
campaign streamers on its colors for
its missions in World War II here.
Tucker also visited troops around
their temporary camp and chatted
with the Soldiers about the exercise.
Some Soldiers admit to missing Ko-
rea during the exercise.
“Some of you probably can’t wait
to get back to Korea,” Tucker said.
“You see, once you leave and go
somewhere else, that’s when you re-
alize that Camp Hovey or Camp Red
Cloud is ‘paradise’ after all.”
The unique training provided
here for 2nd ID Soldiers builds rela-
tionships between militaries and lo-
cal communities that will ultimately
yield long-term security dividends
for the region. The exercise will also
improve 2nd ID’s ability to conduct
joint and multinational operations
on the Korean Peninsula.
“The exercise and training is ex-
cellent,” Mack said. “The two-week
training we are receiving here defi-
nitely makes us more proficient in
our skills that we need for Korea. I
recommend us participating more.”
The focus of Balikatan 2011 is
combined training with the Armed
Forces of the Philippines to be bet-
ter prepared to provide humanitar-
ian relief and assistance in the event
of natural disasters and other crises
that endanger public health and
safety.
Balikatan 2011 is the 27th in this
series of annual bilateral exercises
and is held under the auspices of
the Philippine-U.S Mutual Defense
Treaty and Visiting Forces Agree-
ment. x
tary readiness,” said Clifford L. Stanley,
undersecretary of defense for person-
nel and readiness. “We believe the Safe
Helpline will provide DoD sexual as-
sault victims with a variety of support
outlets, which will lead victims to re-
port sexual assault, seek needed infor-
mation, and receive care.”
Safe Helpline offers three access op-
tions designed for service members.
Users can go to http://SafeHelpline.
org to receive live, one-on-one confi-
dential help with a trained profession-
al through a secure instant-messaging
format. The website also provides vital
information about recovering from
and reporting sexual assault.
A second option is to call the tele-
phone hotline at 877-995-5247 to
speak with Safe Helpline staff for per-
sonalized advice and support. Safe
Helpline staff also can transfer callers
to installation-based sexual assault
response coordinators, on-call victim
advocates, civilian-rape crisis centers
or to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
The third option is for users to text
their location to 55247 inside the Unit-
ed States or 202-470-5546 outside of
the United States to receive automated
contact information for the sexual as-
sault response coordinator at their in-
stallation or base.

Values focus of prayer breakfast

2nd CAB emphasizes
a return to basics
By Staff Sgt. Robert People
2nd CAB Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS — Soldiers from the 2nd
Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division,
participated in the Values Prayer Breakfast on April
7 at the Community Activity Center here.
The prayer breakfast was a part of Living Army
Values Week, and the theme was “Getting Back to
the Basics.”
Colonel James T. Barker, the commander of the
2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, acknowledged the
importance of living the Army values.
“We pray today that this program of events en-
courages us to stay the course in living the Army
values and maintaining our spiritual health,” Barker
said. “These are the key parts to our success as people
and as an organization.”
Soldiers from 2nd CAB listened to scripture read-
ings, along with musical selections from the Free-
dom Chapel’s Gospel Congregation Choir, the Praise
Dancing Team and the KATUSA choir.
Chaplain (Col.) Gregory K. Williamson, the com-
mand chaplain for United Nations Command, Com-
bined Forces Command and United States Forces
Korea Command, was the guest speaker for the
prayer breakfast. He shared his thoughts on some of
the Army values, speaking primarily about personal
courage.
“One of the Army values is personal courage,”
Williamson said. “When I talk about something
personal, that means that it’s not about the squad,
the platoon, the company, battalion or brigade. It’s
about you, each and every one of you individually.”
Williamson also spoke about moral courage, shar-
ing a story of a Soldier who witnessed four members
of his squad rape and murder a young Vietnamese
girl during a two-day patrol while deployed to Viet-
nam in November 1966. This Soldier did not partici-
pate and wanted no part of the activities, Williamson
said.
“He tried to relay to the chain of command what
happened,” Williamson said. “Unfortunately, the
chain of command spoke about how unfortunate
it was, but chose to do nothing. Of course, he was
threatened by the other four men that if he would
tell about this, that bad things would happen.”
Williamson said that despite the threats, the Sol-
dier continued to pursue assistance in speaking with
a chaplain and the chaplain responded. There was
an investigation and the four men were charged and
court-martialed for their crimes.
Williamson added that this Soldier later shared
his story with other Soldiers about moral courage
“T
he medals for moral
courage are worn on the heart.”
- Chaplain (Col.) Gregory K. Williamson
United States Forces Korea
Command chaplain
and what it means to be morally courageous. Wil-
liamson also spoke about the difference between
physical and moral courage.
“On one hand, if you’re physically courageous,
you get awards,” Williamson said. “But often times,
the rewards for being morally courageous are that
you will be ostracized from your peers, being called
a whistle-blower or a rat.’ That’s the reward, far too
often, for exercising moral courage.”
Williamson concluded by saying that while the
rewards may be different, the importance of moral
courage should never be underestimated and will
travel with a Soldier for the rest of his or her life.
“Fortunately, the medals for moral courage are
worn on the heart, not on your vest,” Williamson
said. “And he or she who can see the heart knows

Iron Horse battalion hosts egg hunt
6-52, orphanage
celebrate Easter
By 1st Lt. Austin Liu
6-52 ADA Public Affairs
SUWON AIR BASE — “Let the
Hunt begin!”
With these words from the an-
nouncer, over 80 children from the
House of Dreams Orphanage sprinted
toward the soccer field to chase after
more than 1,500 colorful plastic eggs,
carefully hidden by the volunteers and
families from the 6th Battalion, 52nd
Air Defense Artillery Battalion, during
the Annual Easter Adventure on April
16.
As the children excitedly collected
the colorful eggs from the field and
put them in their baskets, a few impa-
tient ones were even more thrilled to
discover the chocolates and candies
hidden inside their eggs.
“They could not wait to get started,”
said Spc. Corey Simms with a laugh.
Simms, of A Battery, served as one of
the event’s volunteer group leaders.
“For most of them, this is the first Eas-
ter Egg hunt they have ever participat-
ed in,” he said.
The Iron Horse Battalion Family
Readiness Group and volunteer Sol-
diers spent countless hours preparing
and putting together this memorable
celebration for the children from Su-
won City’s largest orphanage.
The unit routinely hosts events and
activities to enliven the children dur-
ing holidays.
Judging from the reaction of the
children and volunteers, this year’s
event was a tremendous success.
“I want to thank 6-52 Air Defense
Artillery Battalion for hosting this
great event for the children,” said Kim
Ji-Choon, the principal of House of
Dreams. “You have made this year’s
Easter an unforgettable experience for
the children.”
Major Cecilia Shaw, the executive
officer of the Iron Horse Battalion, said
it was also memorable for the Soldiers
and familes.
“We also want to thank the House of
Dreams Orphanage for visiting Suwon
Air Base this afternoon and sharing
this unforgettable experience with the
Families and Soldiers of the Iron Horse
Battalion,” she said.
But the most animated thanks came
from the children.
“This is so much fun,” said Song
Yun-suk, a 12-year old from the or-
phanage, as he counted the eggs and
candies he had collected.
The Easter Bunny also made an ap-
pearance, greeting the children and
earning a few giggles from the younger
participants.
The fun did not stop at the conclu-
sion of the Easter egg hunt. Members
of the Battalion Family Readiness
Group hosted a craft shop, sack race,
tug-of-war, and a cake walk for the
children. Some of the children even
got the chance to swing at a Pinata.
“The kids are very energetic this af-
ternoon,” said Staff Sgt. Kelson Smith
of Headquarters and Headquarters
Battery. “You can tell that they are hav-
ing a great time.”
It added up to a memorable day for
all involved, according to Jobee Dumo,
an FRG leader.
A resident of the House of Dreams or-
“Everything went very well this af-
ternoon.” Dumo said. “Not only the phanage hops toward the finish line dur-

Korea’s Best Battle for title of Combatives Champion

By Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Kosterman

Sustainment Support Battalion’s fight
house and the Camp Carroll Gym,
in what may be more appropriately
named the “All Areas” tournament,
the top competitors of the six weight
classes were named. Fighters from as
far north as Camp Stanley participated
in the competition.
King of the lightweight division
was Staff Sgt. Joe Clark, 2nd Infantry
Division, 6-37 Field Artillery, C Battery.
Clark, the flyweight division winner
of the 2009 U.S. Army Combatives
Tournament held at Fort Benning, Ga.,
said it’s good to have fighters from the
different areas competing against each
other.
“It’s an essential part of being a
Soldier,” said Clark of the Modern
Army Combatives Program. “It plays
into other Soldier tasks, like when
conducting patrols in a combat zone.
Sometimes you gotta be ready to fight.”
Staff Sgt. Anthony Wikstrom, 498th
CSSB’s MACP noncommissioned
officer-in-charge, and his team helped
organize the event.
“Being the first peninsula-wide
intermediate combatives tournament
we’ve hosted, I think things went well,”
said Wikstrom.
Based off the success he says has come
from this tournament, Wikstrom added
that he plans to organize future events.
This is likely to be supported by
Wikstrom’s unit and the U.S. Army
Garrison Daegu’s top-enlisted Soldier.
“What’s happening this weekend is
constructive training,” said Command
Sgt. Maj. Gabriel Arnold, USAG Daegu
CSM. “This (combatives tournament)
serves to maintain combat readiness
for Soldiers across this peninsula.”
Arnold added that he hopes leaders
recognize the value of having combatives
as part of their training programs.
“There’s risk involved,” explained
Arnold of the MACP. “But Soldiers
have to engage in tough training.” x
