Military Connection: Army Closing Ten Warrior Transition Units

May 6, 2015/in Healthcare, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Veteran News

It is a bittersweet time for soldiers and leaders within the U.S. Army, as the branch is looking to close ten of its remaining twenty-five Warrior Transition Units (WTU) by the summer of 2016.

WTUs were implemented to provide personalized support to the wounded, injured and ill soldiers who require at least six months of complex medical management or rehabilitation. These units were positioned at major military treatment facilities around the globe. Since their inception in 2007, WTUs have provided care to nearly 66,000 soldiers. The Army states that 29,000 of them managed to return to duty.

The ten WTUs that will be closing over the next year are: Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Fort Wainwright, both in Alaska; Naval Medical Center in California; Fort Gordon, Georgia; Fort Knox, Kentucky; Fort Polk, Louisiana; Fort Meade, Maryland; Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia.

The Army made the announcement on April 24, 2015, about one month after it stopped assigning new soldiers to WTUs. The target date to complete the closures is August 15, 2016. This leaves a gap longer than an average WTU stay, which is 360 days for active duty and 417 days for reservists. All soldiers currently receiving care should be able to complete their assignment at their current WTU. Civilian, active duty and reservist members who work at WTUs will have to be reassigned or laid off.

The closing of these ten units is bittersweet, because WTUs provide a necessary and critical function for injured, sick and wounded soldiers. But the upside is that the Army does not have the need for as many WTUs as it did when they were first created in 2007. Most units serve fifty or fewer soldiers, and four provide care for less than twenty.

The WTUs that will remain are: Fort Carson, Colorado; Fort Benning and Fort Stewart, both in Georgia; Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii; Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland; Fort Drum, New York; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Bliss, and Fort Hood in Texas; Fort Belvior, Virginia; Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State; and European Medical Command in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Military Connection: Double Standard in Petraeus Sentencing

May 6, 2015/in Government, Military, Military News

By Joe Silva

On April 23, 2015, former CIA Director and Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus [U.S. Army Retired] was sentenced to a fine of $100,000 and two years of probation.

As MilitaryConnection.com has previously reported, on March 3, 2015 General Petraeus had agreed to plead guilty to the charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information. An investigation conducted by the FBI found that Petraeus had, in his possession, several personal notebooks on which he had hand-written classified information during meetings and briefings, mostly from his time in the Army. The investigation also found that for a time, these notebooks were in the possession of Petraeus biographer, Paula Broadwell, a Major in the Army Reserves, with whom Petraeus was having an affair. The FBI investigators accused the general of lying to them about not having any classified data in his possession after resigning from his position as director of the CIA in November, 2012.

As part of his plea agreement, Gen. Petraeus was facing up to one year in prison. And according to court documents, a $40,000 fine was expected to be levied. Judge David Kessler found that two years of probation were sufficient, but that a fine $100,000 better reflected the seriousness of the offense.

Many news outlets have decried the sentencing, claiming that a double standard is in place. Several articles stated that the general should have faced jail time, some even desiring a sentence beyond the one year plea deal. And to these people, I say that I absolutely agree that there IS a double standard in place.

Despite popular belief, the justice system does not necessarily exist to punish an individual for his or her transgressions. The justice system exists to keep a populace in line. So, in my opinion, there was a double standard in two areas of this case: 1). If you can afford to pay a higher fine, you can avoid jail time for many offenses. 2). Serving your country for 38 years (1974-2011 in the Army plus one year in the CIA) brought Gen. Petraeus preferential treatment. There are Veterans Courts springing up all over the country that are considering a Veteran’s service in regards to their legal issues. This, too, is a double standard, but I am not against it.

Unlike the angry mob, I personally feel that I can live with existence of these particular double standards, in the same way that I can still respectfully refer to the shamed individual as “General” and not “mister” like other articles did. But mine is just one Veteran’s opinion.

Military Connection: Struggles for Female Combat Integration

May 1, 2015/in Military, Military News

By Debbie Gregory

For all of western civilization, military combat has historically been considered a male-only occupation, with women taking up support roles in nursing and administration. But the U.S. military is currently seeking ways to integrate women into all combat roles within the special operations community. This transition has led to a problem that is troubling for military leaders, as women are not meeting the requirements set by training standards for most of these roles.

On April 2, 2015, the last two remaining females washed out of the Marine Corps’ Infantry Officer Course (IOC). The IOC is a physically, mentally, and academically demanding program, with only 25% of all Marines who attempt it making it to completion. So far, no female has ever completed the program, with these last two failing to make the cut during the Combat Endurance Test. It is worth noting that 81 of the 90 males also washed out that day.

While the eligibility standards were lower for women to get into the program than for men, the requirements were equal for both genders to successfully pass it. So far, of the 29 women have attempted the IOC, none were able to complete it. Only three made it through the Combat Endurance Test, but weren’t able to complete the IOC.

This latest session of the IOC was the last chance for women to enter the program as volunteers. In the future, all women who apply for ground intelligence officer positions will have to pass the IOC in order to achieve that specialty, the same as any male Marine.

Enlisted female Marines have had greater success at the Infantry Training Battalion course, where 122 of 358 women have passed. Despite completing this course, these women were not put into combat jobs, but the Pentagon and the Marine Corps are looking for ways to integrate female Marines into combat units in 2016. One obstacle will be that there aren’t any female officers who have passed the IOC.

Many people around the country will read about the statistics of women in the military not making the grade in these programs and consider the need to lower the standards of these programs, at least for women. But military leaders and the women in the military are steadfastly against this notion.

The bar has been set. It is the responsibility of the women seeking these roles to make it over that bar. The requirements set for these military programs are strict for a reason, so that only the best of the best enter the ranks of the elite.

Military Connection: Veteran Job Outlook-Where the Jobs Are

April 28, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

With the jobless rate for veterans last year being at 5.3%, one might wonder where the best place would be to settle down and reduce that percentage even more. Factors making a region more desirable can include low crime rates, modest cost of living, and proximity of medical/VA facilities.

Topping the most recent list of cities with the strongest labor market is Boise, Idaho. Having Gowen Field Air National Guard Base in the area, Boise knows the high caliber of job candidates in both veterans and military spouses.

“Once you set foot in Boise, you can literally see the growth,” says Sunny Ackerman, Vice President for workforce expert ManpowerGroup’s western division. “Boise’s employment outlook has jumped 10 points since the first quarter of 2015, when it was 22%.”

In a recent survey of 18,000 employers spanning the country, Manpower additionally listed Jacksonville, FL, Grand Rapids, MI, Milwaukee, WI, and Seattle, WA as cities with promising job growth.

Although the jobless rate still remains higher for the veteran population versus civilians, the unemployment rate is certainly easing. This could be due in part to employers being more enlightened as to how skills acquired in the military will translate to the civilian world. Employers are realizing that military-trained candidates bring a high level of discipline, adaptability, technical skills and integrity to the workforce, and once oriented to the needs of the employer, veterans are proving to be excellent hires.

Cities showing the least growth in Manpower’s survey were Oklahoma City, Youngstown, OH, El Paso TX, and Wichita, KS.

In positioning one’s self to the best advantage for employment opportunities, veterans might benefit from seeking the advice of a good resume writer. Frequently the job criteria may be perfect for a candidate, but without the resume opening the door, candidates and employers might not make the connection. Crafting the resume to highlight the desirable skills of the veteran will often avoid placing a candidate in an under-employed environment or a mismatched placement.

Networking is extremely valuable in seeking employment in the civilian workforce. Quite different from 30 years ago, when one would simply submit an application, networking is often the best way to get a first interview.

Social media sources, such as LinkedIn, are not to be dismissed; the connections one makes through these sources often capture the opportunity before the listing even hits the job boards.

As the positive outlook of employers increases across the country, veterans should be prepared, and are well suited for success.

Military Connection: U.S. to File Complaint over Russian Jet Incident

April 27, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

The United States will be filing a formal complaint with the Russian military after an incident between U.S. and Russian aircraft.

On April 7, 2015, a U.S. RC-135U reconnaissance aircraft was operating in international airspace over the Baltic Sea when it was intercepted by a Russian SU-27 Flanker, a fighter aircraft.

According to Pentagon reports, the American RC-135U was flying in a “routine route in international airspace” when it was intercepted by the Russian SU-27, in what the Pentagon claims was an “unsafe and unprofessional manner.” The Pentagon says that the Russian aircraft conducted aggressive maneuvers, in close proximity to the U.S. plane. The Pentagon has not divulged to the media the nature of the operations that the RC-135U was conducting.

Russian reports have claimed that, during the incident, the RC-135U was conducting operations with its transponder turned off, and the jet was circling the reconnaissance plane in order to read its tail numbers. The U.S. military states that these claims are false.

This is not the first time that the Russians have intercepted a U.S. reconnaissance plane. In April, 2014, a Russian jet intercepted a U.S. reconnaissance plane in international airspace and no complaints were filed. The U.S. is taking issue with the 2015 intercept due to the aggressive and unsafe posturing by the Russian pilot during the incident.

Russians have increasingly been on both sides of aerial intercepts with NATO member nations over the last year, coinciding with their conflict with Ukraine.

On April 14, 2015, the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force scrambled its jets to intercept Russian bombers operating near British airspace. The British Defense Ministry claims that RAF jets intercepted more than 100 Russian aircraft over the last year. In that same time, NATO reports claim that there were more than 400 occasions in 2014 when member nation’s aircraft were scrambled due to Russian activity near their airspace.

Military Connection: U.S. Urges Shiite Militias to Move From Ramadi

April 26, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

Upon the recommendation of U.S. officials, Iraqi leaders have chosen to withdraw Shiite militias from the Ramadi area of the Anbar Province. The U.S.-led coalition has since stepped up bombing raids and other actions to support the remaining Iraqi forces battling against the Islamic State in that region.

After the Islamic State captured Mosul in June of 2014, tens of thousands of Iraq’s regular soldiers deserted. Out of necessity, Iraq became reliant on local militias to supplement their country’s diminished defense force. Iraqi militias, also called the popular mobilization, are merely armed groups of men who volunteer to fight in support of Iraq’s government, which is Shiite, as opposed to for the insurgent groups, which are mostly Sunni. Many of the militias are comprised of Shiite Muslims, and they are usually well organized and disciplined, albeit often under trained as soldiers. But what these militiamen lack in training, they make up for in courage and their willingness to fight.

As much as the militias have been needed for Iraq’s defenses, their presence in some areas has caused a dilemma for Iraq’s efforts against the Islamic State. It would be a gross understatement to say that Shiites and Sunnis don’t get along. Putting Shiite militias in a mostly Sunni occupied region to fight against the Sunni-led Islamic State forces could cause more locals to side with the Islamic State and aid their cause.

Leaders within the Anbar province claim to have received promises from Iraq’s federal government that Shiite militias would not be involved as whole units in operations near Ramadi, only individual fighters serving under the command of Iraq’s military. But there were reports as recent as last week claiming that multiple Shiite militias were actively involved in combat in the Al Sajariya Ramadi area.

With nearly all Iraqi government, military and militia leaders requesting U.S. and coalition forces conduct more air strikes against the Islamic State, U.S. Ambassador Stuart E. Jones leveraged the air strike increase against the withdrawal of Shiite militias from the area. During an April 12^th meeting, Jones warned that unless the Shiite militias were withdrawn, the air strikes would not happen.

With the compliance of the Shiite militias, for the greater cause that they have been fighting for, the U.S. and other countries have stepped up air strikes against the Islamic State near Ramadi.

Military Connection: ISIS Shifting Its Resources Into Syria

April 24, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

The Pentagon has confirmed that the Islamic State in Iraq is moving some of its resources to Syria in order to reinforce its holdings. Airstrikes against the terrorist group, also commonly referred to as ISIS or ISIL, are having the desired effect.

Coalition ground forces consisting of Iraq’s military and Shiite and Kurdish militias are being backed by airstrikes, as well as military advisors from the U.S., the UK, and a collection of other Western, Middle-Eastern, and African nations. The airstrikes are taking a heavy toll on Islamic State assets, clearing the way for the ground forces to push ahead.

In Syria, the U.S. and Canada are joined by several Middle-Eastern nations to provide airstrikes and military advisors to the Syrian Opposition and Syrian Kurdistan, as they join forces with the Syrian government to fight against the Islamic State. Much like the gains being made in Iraq, the Syrian forces are starting to have an impact against the Islamic State. The terrorist group is pulling back some of its weapons and fighters from Iraq in order to try reinforce the holdings in Syria that are no longer secure.

There have been more than 3,200 airstrikes conducted in both Iraq and Syria. According to the Pentagon’s Chief of Staff of the military task force against the Islamic State, Marine Corps Brigadier General Thomas Weidley, the combined airstrikes and ground operations are forcing the Islamic State to relocate its resources to the Syrian theater.

Officials at the Pentagon have said that the campaign against the Islamic State is unfolding as expected. They knew it would be a long, difficult, but necessary undertaking. And while the Islamic State has not fully withdrawn into Syria, the coalition airstrikes are having an impact.

The U.S.-led coalition is nearing the completion of phase one of the campaign against the Islamic State, as stated by President Obama, to “degrade, dismantle and ultimately defeat” the terrorist group. Both the Islamic State’s forces and its territory has been degraded by coalition efforts.

Iraqi Security Forces have regained over 25 percent of territory from the Islamic State in Iraq. Once the coalition dismantles and defeats the Islamic State in Iraq, the focus can shift to Syria.

Military Connection: Twelve Women to Start Ranger School

April 24, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

The U.S. Army is edging closer to the full inclusion of female soldiers, as six more women have qualified to attend Ranger School.

In January, 2015, the Army announced that it was planning to conduct a pilot program for women at its elite Ranger School, for a cohort beginning on April 20, 2015. The Army said that as many as forty slots would be open for female soldiers who could qualify and were eligible.

To qualify for the school, the Army has required female soldiers complete a two-week Army National Guard Ranger Training and Assessment Course (RTAC) at Fort Benning, Georgia. In March, 119 soldiers (85 males and 34 females) started the RTAC session. By the end of it, only 31 soldiers, 25 males and 6 females, successfully completed the course.

The six women, all of them officers, will be joining six other women who had previously completed RTAC back in January, bringing the total number of women starting Ranger School, this month, to twelve.

But these women have a long way to go to achieve their goal. Ranger school is 61 days long, and is a grueling test of their physical and mental conditioning. Approximately 45% of soldiers admitted to Ranger School successfully complete it, with more than half of the failures occurring within the first four days. Most soldiers are disqualified during the physical fitness test conducted on the very first day, which requires candidates to complete 49 pushups in two minutes, 59 sit-ups in two minutes, six chin-ups, and a five miles run in forty minutes.

“Not every soldier is going to make it through this course,” said Major General Scott Miller, commanding general of Fort Benning and the Maneuver Center of Excellence. “The standards are demanding, and the standards are not changing. They’re not changing in the pre-Ranger course, and they’re not going to change for the Ranger Course.”

Any female soldier who successfully completes Ranger School will receive a certificate, and will be awarded the elite Ranger tab. However, for now, none of the twelve women will be assigned to the 75^th Ranger regiment, the Army’s special operations force.

The Army is using this pilot program as part of an effort to determine how best to include women into combat roles. This group of twelve women will be a first for Ranger School, which, until now, has only been open to men.

These soldiers are history in the making, and we wish them the best of luck at Ranger School.

Military Connection: Bergdahl’s Charges, Hearing Set

April 23, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

The drama of the Bowe Bergdahl saga continues, as an Article 32 hearing is scheduled for July 8, 2015. An Article 32 hearing is the equivalent of a preliminary hearing under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the laws that govern the behaviors and actions of the U.S. military.

Many civilians don’t realize that when service members enlist in the military, they are essentially surrendering many of their personal rights as citizens. They are also subjecting themselves to a different, often stricter, set of rules under the UCMJ. Because of the importance and severity of their duties, service members are not able to challenge or shrug off the responsibilities of their occupation as easily as civilians can in their workplaces. All branches of the U.S. military are subject to criminal law governed by the articles of the UCMJ.

Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl is famous for disappearing from his observation post on June 30, 2009, in the Paktika province of Afghanistan. Bergdahl was kidnapped by the Taliban, and held captive for five years. His release was secured through the exchange of five Taliban leaders being held at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay.

In June, 2014, the Army ordered an investigation of Bergdahl’s disappearance and the actions that led to his captivity, as well as his behavior while he was held by the Taliban. The investigation was headed by Major General Kenneth Dahl. In December, the results of Dahl’s investigation were then sent to General Mark Milley at U.S. Forces Command.

In March, 2015, the Army announced that Gen. Milley had made the determination to charge Bergdahl with two counts, for abandoning his post and endangering the lives of other service members. The first charge is under Article 85 of the UCMJ for “Desertion,” with “the intent to shirk important service and avoid hazardous duty.” The second charge is under Article 99 of the UCMJ for “Misbehavior before the enemy.”

If Bergdahl is found guilty of either charge he could face jail time. The Article 85 charge carries a punishment of up to five years in prison, a dishonorable discharge, a reduction in rank to E-1, and loss of pay and allowances. The Article 99 is more severe, and could include punishment up to life in prison.

Historically, the Article 99 charge has been used to shame, disgrace or otherwise humiliate personnel who committed actions that go against the values and training of the military. Historical punishments for Article 99 offenses have included publicly ripping rank insignia from the guilty individual’s uniform, or requiring them to display some written message (often using words such as “coward”) describing their disgraceful behavior before their command.

An Article 99 charge is considered outdated by many familiar with military law. Not since the Vietnam War era have high-profile cases involving charges under Article 99 been used. Most notable was in 1968, when Navy Commander Lloyd Bucher was charged with violation of the article after he surrendered the U.S.S. Pueblo to the North Korean Navy.

Bergdahl’s Article 32 hearing will be held at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, and will determine if his case should proceed to a court martial.

Military Connection: Military Ups Missile and Cyber Defenses

April 11, 2015/in Archived Blogs

By Debbie Gregory.

Recently, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) began bolstering its security, including carrying out increasingly realistic tests of its missile defenses.

Officials from the MDA have begun undertaking these measures due to the fact that North Korea has fielded hundreds of missiles that have the capability of reaching U.S. forces based in Japan and South Korea. Despite the ongoing negotiations for a nuclear treaty, the MDA is also concerned with Iran’s development of more sophisticated missiles. These missiles endanger U.S. and allied naval vessels in the Persian Gulf, as well as commercial shipping on the Strait of Hormuz. The MDA contends that both North Korea and Iran could achieve the capability of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile as early as this year.

In March, 2015, the Pentagon launched a full review of missile defense programs and capabilities, a necessary action after the budget cuts to the Army and Navy. The review is being carried out by an office within the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with the intention of meeting defense requirements with the forces required under the new budget. But the demand for regional ballistic missile defense forces clearly exceeds what the military services are able to provide after budget cuts.

In the meantime, the MDA is carrying out more exercises to prepare for possible missile attacks, while increasing the tempo and complexity of its testing, reducing costs, and investing in new technologies.

The MDA is also working with the DOD’s chief weapons tester and military commands operating missile defense systems to ensure defense against escalating cyberattacks. The agency has completed dozens of inspections and tests to improve the cyber defenses of its weapons systems, guarding against attacks by insiders, and ensuring that contractors and suppliers do a better job protecting their computer networks. The MDA is also working with federal law enforcement to track and hunt down cyber attackers.
