194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion
HUMPHREYS GARRISON – The 194th
Combat Sustainment Support and the 1st Battalion,
169th Regiment, 51st Infantry Division, Republic
of Korea Army conducted the first combined
perimeter defense training exercise of its kind at
U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys Aug. 18.
The training focused on combined
defense tactics, communication and first
aid; the units trained outside the perimeter
of Humphreys Garrison.
About 20 U.S. Soldiers, 10 KATUSA’s, 11
ROKA Maneuver Forces and 140 ROKA Reserve
Soldiers participated in the exercise.
During the exercise, 1-169th established a
line of defense in the community surrounding
Humphreys; an enemy force probed and breached
the perimeter which led to the deployment of a
quick reaction force.
Responding to calls for aid by radio, a
quick reaction force from 194th responded
and reinforced the ROKA line, providing
crucial support against the advancing enemy.
Once the enemy attack was repelled, ROK
and U.S. Soldiers practiced first aid and
evacuation of casualties.
194th CSSB Command Sergeant Major
Nichelle Fails said the exercise is the first of
many training events to be conducted with our
ROK Army ally.
“The training went extremely well and this
is the first time the 194th CSSB and the ROKA
169th Regiment conducted a Joint Training
Exercise side-by-side,” said Fails.

Retiree Corner:
TRICARE for Civilian Medical Care in Korea
By Jack Terwiel
Military Retiree Assistance Office
In response to an Osan retiree’s complaint of having to
pay the full bill and then file for reimbursement, Mr. Jim
Genesy of the Osan TRICARE Office explains the situation.
“The Yongsan TRICARE Office has an agreement with
each of their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
hospitals (through their financial managers). They have a
written agreement that states that patients will only pay
their cost-share up front (25% up to $3,000) and the
TRICARE office at Yongsan will ensure that the hospital
is paid the remainder. That is Yongsan’s policy. It is not
Osan’s policy.
“We do not have that agreement with our MOU
hospitals. We have tried to set-up the same working
agreement but it has not happened yet. Retirees/
dependents are still responsible for the entire bill
up front. Most of our MOU hospitals will accept
the catastrophic cap up front (for bills that exceed
$3,000.00) and file a medical claim using the CMS
Form 1500. This claim allows TRICARE to make
disbursements directly to the provider of care. I have
been telling people all along that Osan’s position (same
as TRICARE’s) is that we will assist you with your
claims. However, you are responsible for negotiating
with the hospital on the payment plan.
“Anyone who does not understand this should
contact Osan TRICARE. Also relative to this issue
is that we are still running across retirees and family
members age 65 and over who do not have Medicare
Part B. This means they don’t have TRICARE for Life
and they (or their family) are responsible for the entire
cost with no reimbursement.”

Trip to the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty
The Joseon Dynasty began in 1392 and lasted for
519 years. Rarely have any of the world’s royal
dynasties lasted for over half a thousand years, but
what is even more surprising is that the tombs of all
the kings and queens of the Joseon dynasty have
been preserved until the present day. The roads
to the royal tombs lead travelers to an auspicious
place. The sites of the royal tombs were carefully
selected by Feng Shui experts, and the landscape,
structures, and architecture surrounding the tombs
combined to produce the highest art form of the time.
Royal tomb sites are picturesque and places to relax
and escape from the bustle of the city.

Damyang: A Garden without bamboo is like a
day without sunshine
Jeonju has bibimbap, Boryeong has its mud
festival, and Damyang-gun in Jeollanam-do has
bamboo. Bamboo may be universally associated
with sword wielding ninjas, crouching tigers and
hidden dragons, but Damyang, the northernmost
point on the Korean Peninsula where bamboo
grows in abundance, has cornered the market as
far as Korea goes. There are plenty of attractions
in Damyang, but the bamboo is inescapable and
seems to pervade every aspect of life here.
Not to be confused with the similar sounding
Danyang in Chungcheongbuk-do, Damyang is a
beautifully green county, teeming with nature and
history. A short hop from Gwangju, it is a place where
the specters of scholars live on in the pavilions and
gardens that bear their names.

A Leafy Retreat!
Spending your summer vacation in a forest is a great plan.
Korea’s forests are well known for their beautiful valleys
and cool mountain streams. Visitors can cool off from the
heat by dipping their feet in the refreshing stream, and by
taking a refreshing walk through the forest. Also, it has
been scientifically proven that Phytoncide, the organic
compound derived from plants is good for relieving stress
and for restoring energy. Many of the forests have been
designated as Natural Recreation areas and so often
contain sports facilities and charming log cabins, where
visitors can stay the night right in the middle of the forest.
If you want to get away from scorching summer heat, then
VisitKorea recommends you pay a visit to a refreshing
natural recreation forest. Visit english.visitkorea.or.kr
Pohang International Fireworks Festival
The Pohang Fire Light Festival held in Pohang’s Northern
Beach is a summer festival which the theme this year is
based on fire and light. Pohang is not only a sightseeing
city where Homigot Beach is located, famous for its
beautiful sunrise, but also an industrial city where Posco,
the world famous steel-manufacturing company, is
located. As the largest festival in Pohang which about
three hundred thousand spectators visited in 2005,
five large-sized barges will be set afloat on the sea
300~400 meters far from Pohang’s Northern Beach
to light up Yeongil Bay by splendid fireworks from the
barges. A multimedia show and a music concert are
also planned.

‘Beautiful Kimchi’ Exhibition at COEX
A special exhibition on Kimchi runs until August
30 in the Kimchi Museum, which is located in
the COEX Mall in Seoul. The exhibition sheds a
new light on Korea’s traditional cuisine, Kimchi,
turning it into a piece of art. Kimchi, Korea’s
traditional preserved cabbage dish is becoming
widely known for its healthy properties. This
exhibition, however, takes a new approach to
Kimchi. 3 Korean artists have immortalized the
dish in 12 different works of art, which include
paintings and installations. The museum also
holds a hands-on activity program, where visitors
can try making kimchi themselves.

2009 COLA survey results are in

By USFK Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON  In May and
June, USFK Pricing Teams completed the
2009 Cola Survey to compare the prices
of goods and services both on and off-post
here in Korea as required by Department of
Defense regulations.
After analyzing the results of the 2009
COLA survey, the Military Advisory Panel
voted unanimously to implement an 8 point
increase in COLA for Camp Humphreys
and Osan, and a 6 point increase for Daegu,
Chinhae, Dongducheon and Uijongbu. Seoul
saw the smallest increase of 2 points. The
increase took effect 16 August 09.
The Pricing Teams visited locations
identified through a web-based Living Pattern
Survey (LPS) taken by over 13,000 Service
members peninsula wide. The results of this
year’s survey showed that prices in Korea
increased at a greater rate than U.S. prices.
The teams were composed of Service
members, and others who speak Korean
fluently, some of whom have conducted
a COLA Survey in previous years. Their
experience enabled the 175th Financial
Management Center (175th FMC) to
report accurate data to the Per Diem, Travel
and Transportation Allowance Committee
(PDTATAC).
USFK deployed teams to Seoul, Camp
Humphreys (Pyongtaek), Daegu, Area I,
Chinhae, and to Osan Airbase as part of the
2009 COLA Survey. The 175th FMC, as
the USFK finance element, consolidated the
information and verified its accuracy. Once the
175th FMC was confident in the accuracy of
the data, it was submitted to DoD for analysis.
DoD then compared USFK prices against the
Stateside prices of similar goods and services.
The bottom line is that COLA is a daily
entitlement designed to equalize purchasing
power between members overseas and their
stateside counterparts.

New construction improves services on Red Cloud
By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
RED CLOUD GARRISON — Driving
on post in USAG-Red Cloud one can see
the Directorate of Public Works busy at
work when looking anywhere in a full
circle. Construction projects are not new
construction, but renovations to make
structures into what is needed to support
Red Cloud in its growth and in support
of its many missions. Funding for all of
these projects is part of USAG-Red Cloud’s
sustain, renovation, and modernization
funding.
“Building 428 is my primary project at
this time,” said Marshall Downs, Directorate
of Public Works building and grounds
chief for the Red Cloud enclave. “This will
be the DPW headquarters when the new
director comes to Red Cloud in the middle
of September. We began construction back
in May of this year but had to stop because
there was some confusion as to whether
its previous occupants were going to move
into it, or if we could indeed renovate it
and move in.
At this point in time, it is 40 per cent
finished.”
Priority projects long in need of
renovation are high on Downs’ list.
“Building 267, which is on the corner
across from the Troop Medical Center, will be
a one-stop-shop,” Downs said. “It will have
the Housing Office, representatives from
the Installation Travel Office, representatives
for telephone and internet connections,
Commercial Travel Office, and the cable
television office, and it will be finished in
November.”
Other projects claiming priority include
the barracks on the hill by the back gate.
“Building 249, the barracks on the hill
by the back gate, is very important,” Downs
said. “Because we will give the Soldiers a
renovated barracks, which is something we
haven’t been able to do at Red Cloud in the
past four years. This project is about 50 per
AREA I
cent complete and will be finished near the
end of October.”
Because Area I is expecting more Families
to move in as Soldiers bring their spouses
and children, a very important project
going on now is the expansion of Area I’s
only lodge.
“Building 322 will be the new Red Cloud
Lodge,” Downs said. “This is a big plus for
new Families moving into the Red Cloud
enclave in support of the tour normalization
that is ongoing in Area I. Families will not
have to live off post in hotels, now there will
be lodging available where Families can stay
here on USAG-Red Cloud instead of staying
in Casey Lodge or off post.”
Converting a barracks to a hotel is not as
big a job as one might think, Downs said.
“What is involved is redesigning the
building to suit the needs of the customer,”
he said. “The layout of the rooms entailed
about a 50 percent change. This lodge will
have the same amenities as Casey Lodge
has now.”
Another change on post and an important
one is Building 612 next to the garrison
command building across the street from
the Commanding General’s Mess.
“Building 612 will have a new
commander’s conference room in it,”
Downs said. “We have just completed the
final inspection with the contractor on the
chief of staff’s quarters yesterday. They will
be finishing the deputy commander’s new
quarters and the commander’s conference
room. We will have a state-of-the-art new
conference room and a jump talk at the
same time. If the IOC was destroyed by
enemy action, we do not at this time have
a jump talk. Building 612 will supply
us with a new conference room for the
commander to do his briefings, but also
will provide a jump talk if we have to move
from Building 322, the current IOC, and
continue operations. This building will be
finished in October. Our engineer division
did a good job of projecting the needs of
the Area I community to command and

2nd Infantry Division deploys inflatable satellite dish
By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
RED CLOUD GARRISON — The
2nd Infantry division deployed a new
inflatable satellite dish to support ground
tactical air control communications in
Korea’s mountainous landscape during the
Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise Aug.
17 through 28. The satellite dish allows
for line-of-sight satellite dish aiming to
communications satellites above the earth
in order to link with other units on the
peninsula during the exercise. The new
inflatable dish deployed for the first time
in South Korea.
“This big green ball is called a GATR
antenna,” said Alan Zomchek, Northrop
Grumman’s Combined Operational V-sat
Network - Korea satellite network engineer.
“This is a 2.4 meter V-sat satellite dish, which
can be deployed anywhere. It fills with air, it
is light weight and very transportable.”
The dish is made of a dark green material
and resembles a large beach ball of which
the manufacturer, GATR (Ground to Air
Transmit and Receive), says are ideal for
emergency response, broadcast, and military
applications when needed to provide high-
bandwidth communications for secure data
transmission. They also can be deployed
as reliable backup networks in emergency
situations. The large green globe is not
the antenna itself. The antenna is inside
the inflated ball and is held up by the air

CASEY GARRISON — Handmade
diaper bags, blankets, and quilts are no longer
a fantasy for the spouses who attended the
sewing and quilting classes, which took place
at USAG-Casey Pear Blossom Cottage Aug.
24. With the professional instructors who
volunteer to teach, spouses are able to learn
how to design and make their own woven
goods and quilts.
“This sewing and quilting class is one
part of the Arts and Crafts classes the PBC
offers for spouses,” said Tess Compton,
USAG-Casey PBC manager. “The goals of
these classes are to help spouses make their
own quilts and other items for their children
and husbands. We have four students in
each class. Every three months we change
the type of items we make. For this class it
is making bags.”
Instructor like Christiana Mensah, wife
of Staff Sgt. Louis Mensah 1st Brigade, 2nd
Infantry Division, was a professional tailor
in the United States. Mensah said she made
up her mind to teach sewing when she found
sewing machines in the PBC.
“When I found the machines, I wanted
to teach those interested in learning to sew,”
Mensah said. “I am happy to teach them to
make anything they want.”
Classes take place in a room equipped
with four sewing machines. The only items

antenna looks like a conventional metal
satellite antenna, but is made of a fabric
consisting of a metal mesh that actually
does the work.
“We use this antenna to provide initial
command and control and to sustain
communications over the COVN-K,”
Zomchek said. “It also can be used as a
backup for strategic communications via
satellite.”
Satellite communications are necessary
to provide line-of-sight electronic signal
connections throughout Korea, Zomchek
explained.
“Because Korea has a lot of mountains
it is difficult to aim antennas from point to
point,” Zomchek said. “We need to be mobile
also, so it is necessary to connect by satellite
to maintain constant communications.”

Soldiers need to do their mission out in the
field,” he said.
The GATR antenna is very light and
mobile; a Soldier can deflate it and carry it
in a backpack. It only weighs 17 pounds,
Zomchek said; however, it needs someone
to attend to technical maintenance while it
is operating.

Dongducheon rocks the city in annual festival

By Pvt. Jamal Walker
USAG-RC Public Affairs
SOYOSAN, DONGDUCHEON —
Local Korean nationals held their annual
Dongducheon Rock Festival near Soyo
Mountain Aug. 15, 16, and 17. The festival,
which gathered people as far as Incheon,
celebrated its 11th anniversary and offered
a 30 percent discount to all Soldiers and
identification card holders.
“Dongducheon is the cradle of Korean
rock music, and I am so pleased this festival
has broadened the base of rock music in
Korea,” said Kim, Moon Su, Gyeonggi
Province governor.
The festival began with a “battle of the
bands” competition featuring musicians
of high school and college age. The bands
featured their own songs and popular
American hits like “We’re Not Gonna Take
It,” by the Twisted Sisters and “Crazy Train,”
by Ozzy Osbourne.
“This is my first time coming to the
festival,” said Kim, Tae hoon, a base player
for the band Icy Cider. “Our band has
been together for a year and a half and we
need the exposure to large audiences to
build our reputation. All bands need these
opportunities. Activities like this help new
rock bands, so they should never disappear.”
A number of bands, amateur and well
known bands, with names like Sacrifice,
Rchemist, Groove Camp, Romantic Band
and Yery performed at the festival.
“Although my band and I came to
compete we are big fans of Yery,” Kim said.
“They are an outstanding band and their
songs are great too.”

Soldiers post fast times

at Warrior Country’s first
Mountain Bike Race
By Jim Cunningham
USAG-RC Public Affairs
CASEY GARRISON — Warrior’s
gathered outside Carey Fitness Center Aug.
8 for Warrior Country’s first Mountain
Bike Race. Many are veteran triathlon and
biathlon athletes and were familiar with the
7 kilometer race track laid out by Family
Morale, Welfare and Recreation sports
specialists.
The quickest time was brought by Master
Division (ages 30 to 39) competitor Jason
Hester, crossing the finish line with a time
of 8:08:00, only 3 seconds from Clifton
Mangiola placing 2 with a time of 8:11:00

David Meyer, with a time of 10:40:00.
Times in the Open Division (ages 29
and younger) were not as fast, but still
impressive. Michael Toney crossed the finish
line first with a time of 8:25:00, Daniel

A 7 kilometer mountain bike race is a
short one for triathlon and biathlon athletes
such as Jason Hester, but strategy sometimes
has much to do with winning.
“My plan was to draft the lead guys on
the first kilometer,” Hester said. “Once we
hit the dirt portion of the track, I moved
up.”
Hester says he got lucky because Gash,
placing 3 at the finish, was leading when his
bicycle chain came off.
“Operator error was the main reason my
chain came off,” Gash said when asked how
he led the way then suddenly fell back to
finish 3. “I kicked it too hard going down
the hill.”
“I didn’t really have a tactic,” said Cliffton
Mangiola, about his finishing 2. “I just came
to have fun. I drafted behind the leaders
most of the way.”
Mangiola passed Gash when Gash’s chain
derailed.
All competitors agreed the course was too
short and they would like to see the course,
at least, doubled for the next race.
“I think the race was a little too short,”
said Patrick Walsh, 1 in the Senior Division.
“Being only 7 kilometers allowed the racers
out front to coast in at the end. Next year we
will add another off road section to make the
total length of the race 20 kilometers.”

New superintendent aims for high marks
By Sgt. Lee Min-hwi
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — “I am a team player.
I believe in working collaboratively with parents,
students and the command,” said Irby Miller, the new
Department of Defense Dependent Schools Korea
superintendent, when asked to introduce himself in an
Aug. 21 interview on Yongsan Garrison.
As a former principal and area superintendent at
Baltimore City Public Schools, Miller says he has
been a motivational, visionary educator and leader.
He explained that he is dedicated to using his 38
years of urban education experience to help motivate
youths in U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan and across the
peninsula.
“Most of my experience has been in Baltimore City.
I have worked with homeless students as well as those
students who had severe reading challenges,” Miller said.
“I am brining my experiences of being able to motivate
and prepare teachers and administrators to be the best
they can be in terms of working with our youngsters.”
Miller’s experiences suggest that he is a man dedicated
to overcoming challenges. “In urban school districts, we
were always working with low budgets, or budgets that
would not meet the overall needs of the organization.
So, we would always stretch those particular budgets in
order to make things work.”
Miller recalled a situation when he turned around
under-performing senior high school with staff of
150 and 1,800 students, and coordinated capital
improvement plan for schools struggling to provide for
their students.
Some of his other achievements include achieving
certification through the Middle States Evaluation of
Colleges and Schools, improving performance at 16
underperforming schools, placing more emphasis on
training and development and preparing staff to take on
leadership roles. He also holds a Doctorate of Education
Degree in 2000 from Nova Southeastern University, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida.
Miller said that he is impressed with the diverse
culture in Korea and that he is genuinely excited about
serving parents in the community, who he said deserve
the best education for their children as they serve here
Back to school traffic and safety tips
By Dan Thompson
USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — Garrison officials caution
drivers to be extra careful along X Corps Boulevard and 8th
Army Drive Aug. 31when school begins as buses, parents
and hundreds of children make their way to and from the
schools. To help you cruise through the first day without
any problems, remember the following tips:
 Speed limits
The speed limit during school hours is 25 kph (about
15 mph). Flashing yellow lights will alert drivers that they
are in the school zone. During peak hours, Military Police
will direct traffic. Drivers must yield to MPs and crossing
guards.
USAG-Yongsan Emergency Services Director Ricky
Oxendine said that his MPs are equipped with seven new
radar guns and will be enforcing speed limits without
exception. “If you are speeding, you will be issued a traffic
citation - no excuses,” he warned. However, he added
people should either avoid X Corps Boulevard and 8th
Army Drive altogether Aug. 31 or leave earlier. “Accidents
happen when people are in a rush, so plan ahead and leave
early,” he advised.
New Department of Defense Dependent Schools Korea Superintendent Irby Miller takes a moment during his busy schedule
to speak with U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan Public Affairs Office Aug. 21 about the changes he hopes to bring to schools in
Korea. — U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Lee Min-hwi
in Korea and elsewhere like Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Although I know that urban education may seem
to have little to do with Korea and schools in Yongsan
Garrison, I am bringing with me an ability to get
people to rally around the mission of an organization,
in this case, the mission of the Department of Defense
Education Activity, in terms of helping our youngsters
become successful.”
In explaining his plans for Yongsan schools, he
emphasized the importance of the Community Strategic
Plan, the Continuous School Improvement, and the
Curriculum Instruction and Assessment - all tools used
to measure success.
“As a new Superintendent of Yongsan Garrison
schools, I look at the triangle of CSP, CSI and CIA
in order to better focus on the students’ academic
achievements. Getting students in the middle of the
triangle requires that we rally around our students to
help them achieve success,” he said.

traffic patterns and safety guidelines in order to make Aug.
31 an accident-free back-to-school event. — U.S. Army

 Elementary drop-off lanes
The ‘Kiss and Drop’ lanes on the east and south sides of
Seoul American Elementary School are the only authorized
drop-off areas for elementary school children.
“These lanes are a great service for parents,” said
Oxendine. “To help avoid traffic jams and as a courtesy to
USAG-Y • PAGE 9
http://yongsan.korea.army.mil
Miller also uttered the vital role of team play in
which the teachers, parents and family members and
the command work together to support the students.
“Research shows that students who have achieved most
have had good support from their parents. Parents are
here behind their students in terms of encouraging and
helping them to become successful.”
Miller said that he wants to build on the past
success of students in Yongsan. He also mentioned
that he wishes to increase scholarships, including
those for Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps
students.
“It is my responsibility as superintendent to ensure
that all of my principals, administrators and teachers
are carrying out the Community Strategic Plan and
its mission vision, as well as making certain that the
curriculum is being well taught so that all of our students
can be successful. The parents will get that from Irby
Miller,” he promised.
other drivers, we ask that they use them just for the time it
takes to drop-off and pick-up their kids.”
For parents of SAES students who want to walk their
children from their cars to the school, they must use adjacent
parking lots. Any vehicles that are parked in an unauthorized
place, such as a bus lane, will be ticketed on the spot.
After exiting the lane on X Corps Boulevard, drivers have
to go straight toward Collier Field House because there will
be no U-turns allowed.
 New traffic patterns
Drivers exiting the Dragon Hill Lodge will only be able
to take a right-turn onto 8th Army Drive. “To increase the
flow of traffic, we are making the main exit of the Dragon
Hill Lodge into a right-turn only,” Oxendine said. “This is
a traditional choke-point for drivers waiting to take a left
turn onto 8th Army Drive.” Already, MPs have begun issuing
traffic citations at the exit, so parents should not plan on
using the Dragon Hill Lodge exit, especially on Aug. 31.
Garrison officials announced Aug. 26 a new stopping
point along 8th Army Drive by the Popeye’s restaurant and
sports field.

Both Bonifas and Barrett perished after
being attacked by axe-wielding North
Korean Soldiers who provocatively
crossed the “Bridge of No Return” to
stop the U.N. from cutting down the
large poplar tree.
During the Aug. 18 memorial ceremony
held at the attack site within shouting
distance of the North Korean side, South
Korean Soldiers, each with beads of sweat
tricking from their earlobes, stood guard
perfectly upright and alert.
Several large wreathes were placed
at the site of the tree-cutting incident
and visitors placed white roses upon a
stone pillar marking the site where the
contested tree once stood - adding a
heavy, perfumed scent to the otherwise

the most democratic and prosperous
nations in the world. Despite all of this
prosperity, however, there still is no peace
on this peninsula. So until there is peace,
all of us, especially you, the soldiers of

“I’m excited to be here. I actually speak some Japanese and

perhaps I could use my time here to pick up some Korean. But as
for my stay in tent city, there’s really nothing to complain about. I
can see that the garrison has put a lot of effort into setting up these
tents. The service is great and I’m looking forward to my stay here
for another week.”

“My stay here has been relaxing. I have been to the Dragon Hill
Lodge for some great meals and to the theater to catch a movie or
two. As for the tents, they are the best I’ve ever been in. The tents
have been spaced out to give each soldier enough personal space
and the fully operational air conditioners have kept me cool during
this very hot summer season. What more can I ask?”

“My job is mainly to assist Soldiers in-process to these tents. I am
actually not staying in the tents per se, but I pull off 24-hour shifts,
so I do spend quite a substantial amount of time in these tents.
The living conditions in these tents could not be any better. I mean
we are technically in the fields, right? Yet we have air conditioners,
computers, TVs, and all sorts of amenities.”

USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
YONGSAN GARRISON — Garrison officials announced
new traffic patterns in the Dragon Hill Lodge parking lots
and roads during a major roof renovation project.
Starting Monday, Aug. 24, drivers exiting the Dragon
Hill Lodge will only be able to take a right-turn onto 8th
Army Drive.
“To increase the flow of traffic, we are making the main
exit of the Dragon Hill Lodge into a right-turn only,” said
Ricky Oxendine, Emergency Services director. “This is a
traditional choke-point for drivers waiting to take a left
turn onto 8th Army Drive.”
The other major change in traffic flow is the back road
into and out of the hotel complex.
“The 1st Marine Division Road will be exit-only during
this construction project,” Oxendine said. “With the partial
closure of the lower parking lot outside of Sables, there will
only be room for one-way traffic. Drivers need to stop using
this parking lot as a shortcut to 8th Army Drive.”
Set up for construction will begin Monday, Aug. 24. Half
of the lower parking lot will be used for the construction
materials staging area. The lower parking lot outside has
an exit leading to 1st Marine Division Road. During the
project, this road will be an exit only, except for community
members residing on that street.
The lower parking lot outside Sables will be closed in
preparation for the redesign starting Monday, Aug. 24.
Parking will not be available in that area, officials said.
A construction wall will be installed Aug. 25. “All
community members should be aware of the construction
equipment and vehicles and exercise extreme caution,” said
USAG-Yongsan Safety Officer Mike Evans.
“Dragon Hill Lodge has teamed up with the garrison
to ensure high standards will be observed for safety and
environmental protection throughout the project,” said
Roxanne Holland, DHL marketing chief. “We’re urging
our guests to use the primary Dragon Hill Lodge entrance
and exit at 8th Army Drive and the hotel’s parking garage
at the south entrance, near our health and fitness club,”
“Dragon Hill Lodge will maximize guest accessibility
and continue high quality hotel services during the hotel
construction,” Holland said. “The Dragon Hill Lodge
appreciates your understanding of this needed capital
improvement, and wants you to know that it will help
the hotel meet its pledge to be a great hotel well into the
future.”
The project is expected to be completed by early
December.

“I’m participating in the exercise as a driver. I’ve been putting

the MWR-provided wireless connection to good use with
my laptop computer. The cozy and spacious common area
equipped with a big screen TV has also been quite useful. I
think the bathrooms can be improved, but otherwise my life

“I came here from Honolulu, Hawaii to participate in the UFG

exercise. I was in Korea in the early 90’s and I’m glad to be back.
The service here in Yongsan Garrison has been outstanding so far.
The life in the tents is much better than what I had expected. I use
the wireless connection offered by MWR all the time!”

Seasonal flu vaccination set for September

By 65th Medical Brigade
Special to the Morning Calm Weekly

YONGSAN GARRISON – A spray in the nose or a stick in the arm beats a week of headaches,
coughing, sneezing, chicken soup and misery, while your unit works shorthanded; your child misses
school, or worse. Not that hard a choice to make.
The annual seasonal vaccine will be available across Korea in September. Although this vaccine
does not protect against the H1N1 influenza virus (swine flu) it does provide excellent protection
against the other most common forms of this virus. H1N1 vaccine is projected to be available in
late October or early November of this year.
Influenza is a contagious respiratory disease that can be serious or even have fatal effects. It
threatens military readiness. Therefore, all Servicemembers are required to be vaccinated against
the flu each year. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated an average of 36,000
Americans died annually in the 1990s due to influenza-related complications. Each year 5 to 20 percent
of the United States population gets the flu, resulting in about 200,000 people being hospitalized.
“Influenza vaccination is your primary protection against influenza infection,” said COL William
Corr, 8th Army Surgeon. “It is especially important that parents protect their children by ensuring
they are vaccinated. In addition, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that parents and adults get the
flu less often when the children are vaccinated and protected against this disease.”
Vaccinations are mandatory for Servicemembers, health-care personnel who provide direct patient
care in DoD medical treatment facilities, and for emergency-essential DoD civilian personnel. United
States Forces Korea Servicemembers are to be vaccinated by October 16 2009.
The flu is an infection of the nose, throat and lungs caused by the influenza virus. Most
people with the flu are sick for about a week, but then feel better. However, some people
(especially young children, pregnant women, those over age 50, and those with chronic
health problems) can get very sick and some can die. You are infectious from one day before
to one day after you have symptoms or fever.
People with the flu usually cough, sneeze, and have a runny nose. This makes tiny
droplets containing the virus. Others get the flu by breathing these droplets or touching Vaccinations are mandatory for Servicemembers, health-care personnel who provide
contaminated surfaces like door knobs, key boards, during handshakes, etc. Therefore, direct patient care in DoD medical treatment facilities, and for emergency-essential DoD

dressed in traditional Korean uniforms
perform a variety of fighting styles using
different weapons such as swords, spears, staves

The action-packed show includes mock
duels, solo demonstrations and slicing
through bamboo stems and bundles of straw

The performance is based on “Muye 24ki,”
a compilation of 24 traditional Korean martial
arts. Following the Japanese invasion of Korea
in 1592, the Joseon Dynasty began an active
effort to revive and develop traditional Korean
martial arts to train its military.
Muye 24ki was established almost 200
years later by King Jungjo, and has absorbed
elements of Japanese and Chinese traditional
martial arts.
There are seven different styles of sword
fighting and five uses of various types of spears
in Muye 24ki, as well as more exotic weapons
such as halberds, tridents and flails.
The Muye 24ki demonstration began in
2003 in Suwon. The Seoul performance began
May 2008 as a part of Seoul City’s effort to
encourage tourism.

By Sgt. Lajuan Hickman
1st Signal Brigade Public Affairs
DAEGU, Republic of Korea — The
Second Republic of Korea Army, SROKA, held
a ribbon-cutting and award ceremony for the
opening of the new bunker housing an advanced
command, control, communications, computers
and intelligence system.
According to David Horn, project manager for
United States Forces Korea, project management
office, the new bunker was built because the old
bunker could no longer house the forces that normally
occupy the bunker.
Elements of the 1st Signal Brigade, along with
the Republic of Korea, USFK joint communications
office, department of public works and several
contractors, worked more than 20 months to stand-up
the new bunker.
The project was given a 5.34 billion Won budget.
Throughout the project, there was minimal
downtime in communications for the command and
control forces on SROKA.
Horn attributes this to the great team work
during the project.
“(The project) is an example of how other projects
of this size can be done based on the teamwork and
the cooperation between the American and Korean
military and civilian communities.”
At the completion of the project, the new
bunker allowed for more effective ROK –
US operations, increased information system
capabilities and real-time information sharing.
“The project management techniques and
mythologies we used and the team work allowed
the project to come in under budget, ahead of
schedule and reduced the amount of resources and
saved both sides additional people and equipment
to accomplish what we had to do,” added Horn.
Award recipients of the 1st Signal

Look for ‘Smart Choices’ in your commissary

By Lt. Col. Karen E. Hawkins
DeCA dietitian

FORT LEE, Va. — The Smart Choices check mark is appearing on hundreds of products in your
commissary this summer. This first-ever, uniform, front-of-pack nutrition labeling program, developed by
scientists, nutritionists, consumer organizations and food industry leaders was created to help shoppers make
informed food and beverage choices when shopping.
Unlike nutrient scoring systems, rankings or store-based programs, Smart Choices uses a single, green
check mark on the front of the product package to provide “at-a-glance” guidance that a product has met
strict science-based nutrition criteria. These standards use the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, reports
from the Institute of Medicine and other sources of authoritative nutrition guidance. Foods that qualify
for the Smart Choices symbol also will display calorie information on the front of the package, including
calories per serving and number of servings per container. The goal is to help people stay within their daily
calorie needs and make it easier for calorie comparisons.
Participating companies with their own “better for you” nutrition labeling symbols have begun replacing
them with the Smart Choices symbol. Because of its scope and the science behind the new nutrition labeling
system, this new program will bring clarity and consistency to the U.S. marketplace. So make sure to look for
the Smart Choices check mark on foods the next time you are shopping in the commissary, where you’ll not
only find healthy choices, but savings of 30 percent or more on your purchase compared to “downtown.”
Nutrition criteria
To display the Smart Choices symbol, a food or beverage has to meet the standards for specific
“nutrients to limit” and, depending on the food, also include “nutrients to encourage” or “food groups to
encourage.” Special criteria were developed for 19 different product categories, such as beverages, cereals,
meats, dairy and snacks:

Exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian 2009
has begun and with it U.S. Army Garrison
Humphreys reprises its role in support of
the military forces that are participating in
the exercise.
The garrison commander and staff
are also participating in the exercise and
responding to scenario events as the tactical
situation unfolds during the two-week
training event.
UFG is a combined-joint computer-
simulation driven exercise conducted
annually. It demonstrates Republic of Korea-
United States militaries’ interoperability,
capabilities and the U.S. commitment to
defend Korea.
The exercise is designed to evaluate and
improve combined and joint coordination,
procedures, plans, and systems for
conducting contingency operations between
ROK and U.S. forces.
Humphreys Garrison’s mission is to
provide the best possible life support
to American military forces that are
participating the exercise. This entails setting
up Life Support Areas at Yongin, home to
the Third ROK Army headquarters, and
on Camp Long in Wonju, and, to a lesser
extent, supporting U.S. Marines at Baran
ROK Marine barracks.
The number of players in this year’s
exercise is smaller than in years past but the
garrison is committed to providing the best-
possible life support areas for the Soldiers

of operations, whether during combat or
training.
During Exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian
09, which took place from Aug. 17-27,
Soldiers from 194th Combat Sustainment
Support Battalion operated LSA Yongin
and provided essential life support for about
200 Soldiers.
UFG 09 is a combined-joint computer-
simulation driven exercise conducted
annually. It demonstrates Republic of Korea-
United States militaries’ interoperability,
capabilities and the U.S. commitment to
defend Korea.
LSA Yongin, located northeast of
Humphreys, offered most of the amenities
found on a regular military installation.
In addition to sleeping tents, LSA Yongin
featured a mobile containerized kitchen
with dining tent, showers and toilets, a
barbershop, a recreation tent with satellite
TV and Internet and for the first time at this
location, private telephone booths for troops
to call home using calling cards.
Sgt. Erika Morgan, 348th Quartermaster
Company, 194th CSSB, served as Yongin
Deputy Mayor and offered her insights into
life at the LSA.
“When we began the exercise, we had
156 personnel in transition through our

and Marines who live and work at them.
At Yongin, northeast of Humphreys, the
LSA is a tent city complete with hot and
cold showers, male and female latrines, a
medical tent, dining facility tents, AAFES
retail store and barbers, Internet connections
and satellite television and other Morale,
Welfare and Recreational activities.
The approximately 150 Soldiers working
at Yongin have air-conditioned sleeping

to them. They have two hot meals a day—

at Yongin, much of it from existing facilities,
e.g. AAFES, showers, latrines and MWR.
The Long LSA also has a containerized
laundry facility which features several
washers and driers inside of a container. This

Morgan said. “The exercise has been really
well, and our job was to make sure all the
troops who stayed here had the amenities
they needed. Soldiers from the Provider
Grill have done a great job maintaining the
dining operation.”
Morgan said in addition to solar-powered
lighting, air conditioning units were installed
in every tent to insure a comfortable stay for
the troops.
“Our personnel work different shifts
but we always made sure the common areas
were clean,” said Morgan. “We also have
medical personnel on duty 24-hours, and
from 6 a.m. to noon, we have a physician
assistant on site.”
During UFG, Humphreys Garrison
Command Sergeant Major Jason K. Kim
visited LSA Yongin to check in on Soldier
well being and mission progress.
“I wanted to make sure our Soldiers
were safe and Humphreys Garrison was
supporting all the things units need,” Kim
said. “Our Soldiers are doing a great job in
support of the mission units.”
Kim said during previous exercises, there
were up to 300 Soldiers from the United
States transitioning through the Yongin Life
Support Area.
“I’ve visited other LSAs throughout the
peninsula and I think Yongin is the best
one because of the extra amenities, like new
hand-washing stations, solar powered light
fixtures, phone lines and TV and wireless
Internet service,” he said.

AAFES to offer online student lunch payments, new lunch menu
By Ken Hall
USAG-Humphreys Public Affairs
H U M P H R EY S G A R R I S O N 
Beginning this school year, the Army Air
Force and Exchange Service will offer
parents the opportunity to pay for their
children’s school lunches online.
Lunch menu prices for the students have
not changed from last year: for elementary
schools $2.05 and for middle school $2.20.
However, the price for parents and teachers
went up to $5.00.
Parents who choose the online option
will pay for their child’s lunches at www.
mealpayplus.com with a debit card, credit
card or e-check drawn from a checking or
savings account. There is a usage fee per
payment of 4.75 percent. Parents can still
pay for school lunches at the Post Exchange
or Base Exchange or send a check to school
with the child for no charge.
Rick Fair, AAFES general manager,
U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys said that
although there is a usage fee with the online
payment option, other features on the
website are free.
“We want to make sure parents know
that some of the most important free
items are: Create a free, secured account
to manage student accounts; check the
student’s current account balance and
also monitor the items that the student

Customer service at Army and Air Force
Exchange Service just stepped up a notch
as nine Korean employees have completed
the first of four parts of English as a second
language course here.
The ESL course began in early June
and runs in nine, six-week phases; Central
Texas College provides the instruction.
The total tuition cost is $810 per student
and AAFES picks up the tab. Throughout
the courses, AAFES employees learn
reading and pronunciation, grammar, and
conversational skills.

the most important item is they can set up
the program to send e-mail notifications
when the account reaches a low balance.”
In the coming weeks, parents will be able
to log on to www.mealpayplus.com to set up
an account. To set up an account, parents
will need to have the student number they
used to pay previous lunch bills at AAFES
and the type of payment to be used. Parents
can establish a new AAFES student billing
account for lunches at the AAFES customer
said Rick Fair, AAFES Humphreys general
manager. “Participants should see increased
customer-service abilities and an increased
confidence as their English-language skills
improve. Our customers will be also be very
happy with the results.”
Central Texas College English instructor
Rose Jonasz said the course proved difficult
for some of the students.
“It was challenging for them,” Jonasz
said. “We started with 15 students and nine
passed the first phase and it wasn’t an easy
course. Before the ESL course, they didn’t
have much interaction with the customer
and it’s our goal to improve their English
academic skills and ability to interact with
our customers.”

“Starting the third week into the school
year we will launch a whole new menu with
a lot more choices, and it will be a great
improvement over last year’s selection,”
said Dan Peterson, AAFES Pacific Food
Program Specialist. “We also want parents
to know if they use the online pay system,
there will be a small usage fee of 4.75 percent
per payment but everything else on the site
is free.”
Fair said AAFES is also starting a Retail
Management Academy.
“Associates from Humphreys and Osan
will be attending the RMA,” said Fair.
“Top performers were required to submit
an essay and resume to be considered
for acceptance. The RMA focuses on
developing retail management skills so that
our AAFES associates are prepared to move
into supervisory and management positions
as they become available.
“This will enhance the quality of
management we have during the expansion
of Humphreys Garrison,” he said. “Our
ESL course participants are very enthusiastic
and we’re very fortunate to have the people
that we do and we owe it to them to help
them enhance their skills and we owe it to
our community.”
Fair said it’s important to AAFES to
build a base of management personnel
to accommodate the future growth of
Humphreys Garrison.
“AAFES estimates the requirement for
around 60 additional managers to support
the projected increased population and
facilities. AAFES owes the best possible
work environment to our associates and our
best service to the community,” he said.
Clarence Wolf, Area III Coordinator,
Central Texas College said it’s important
that Korean AAFES employees develop their
English language skills because they have to
explain why they do things, how they do
things and the cost savings to customers.
“I really appreciate all the hard work they
gave us to complete this course and I know
learning English is difficult. I’ve been in
Korea 19 years and I still can’t speak Hangul
fluently. It’s really a great achievement and
it’s a total winning situation. The employee
wins, AAFEs wins, the school wins and the
customer wins.”

FDs hold joint swift water rescue training
By Andrew M. Allen
Deputy Fire Chief
Daegu Garrison, DES, F&ES
CHILGOK — The rainy season
is coming to a close, however for the
firefighters of USAG Daegu, learning
how to deal with wet weather emergencies
never ends. In conjunction with the
Chilgok Fire Department Special Rescue
Team, firefighters of USAG Daegu learned
new rescue skills when dealing with Swift
Water Emergencies.
Sw i f t w a t e r r e s c u e ( a l s o c a l l e d
“whitewater rescue”) is a technical rescue
operation that involves the use of specially
trained personnel, ropes, and mechanical
advantage systems to affect a rescue of a
victim trapped in or around fast moving
water. The tremendous amount of power
water exerts on victims, objects and the
rescuer during a swift water emergency is
astonishing and is the reason people and
rescuers every year are swept away. The
main goal during a rescue operation is to
use or deflect the water’s power to assist
in the rescue of the endangered person, as
in most situations there is no easy way to
overcome the power of the water.
State side training to be certified “Swift
Water rescue 1 & 2” requires multiple

By Pvt. Lee Jun-ho
19th ESC Public Affairs
Even though people think a battle is all
about fighting, there is more. For instance,
meeting the requirements of Soldiers by
giving them adequate supplies at the right
time is one of the most critical missions in
the Army society.
This job should never be underestimated,
for it is not always easy to have everything
prepared and ready. During real events, even
the simplest munitions could be the most
difficult items to get for everyone. Situations
change endlessly, and no one can be sure
we have everything needed in the most
demanding circumstances.
During the exercise, the Host Nation
Support section of the G-3 collaborates
with the 411th Contracting Support Brigade
to form the International Programs and
Contracting Directorate.
The 175th Financial Company, Logistics
Civilian Augmentation Program, as well
as other augmentees from the Air Defense
or the Navy, joined the team during the
exercise. Their main mission is to interface
third-party-logistics needed for the 19th
Expeditionary Sustainment Command and
its subordinates during contingencies.
The United States Forces Korea may
not be able to receive every supply needed
during war, and it is the IP&C’s job to make
up for shortfalls by making contracts with
third parties.
“The IP&C goes through all contract
requirements. Anything reported as a need
for a unit, is transferred from Command
Post 19 to our office, so we can arrange a deal
with the third party outside. If we are short
on water and we need it quickly, making a
contract with the nonmilitary is our job.”

“We ran through and checked the

Simmons. “I think this year’s exercise is
going better than the last one in every way,
and it will continue to be.” he added.
Compared to the last week’s work,
which was rather an execution of what the
team had already planned, this week’s work
will be about predicting the needs and
requirements of each unit. That is the reason
why coordinating and cross communication
is important in their works.
“The shift turnover briefing, which is
held every day between the shifts, is the most
important event of the IP&C because this
is when the team communicates the most
and the requirements of the Soldiers should
be delivered properly.” said Pfc. Shin, Min

In order for the U.S. Army to achieve
its missions and opera¬tions on the Korean
peninsula, cooperation with the Republic
of Korea Army is significant. Knowing that
the wartime operational control (OPCON)

between the U.S. Army and the ROK Army

During the Ulchi Freedom Guardian

Arms Room works to maintain mission readiness
By Cpl. Lee, Jae Won
19th ESC Public Affairs
During the exercise period, every
participant must draw their weapon before
they start their daily mission, so Command
Post 19 arms room is everyone’s first stop.
Sgt. Claudia Cabero, chemical, biological,
radiological, and nuclear NCOIC, 19th
ESC, explains the procedure for drawing
a weapon.
“We check each individual’s identification
at least twice to confirm we are issuing the
weapon to the right person, and we double
check the serial number and the weapon
card number before we issue the weapon
to an individual,” said Cabero, “it requires
flawless service and quickness, so we try our
best at all times.”
The CP 19 arms room is a collaboration
of 19th ESC CBRN and Supply, as well as
overseas deployed Soldiers, who work as
one team to provide the quality arms room
service to ensure success of the exercise.
“As a KATUSA, I feel proud for what I do
throughout the exercise,” said Pfc. Kim, Dae
Hee, “because we are dealing with sensitive
items every day, we consider this a serious
job and conduct it as carefully as possible to
prevent any possible accidents.”
Arms room crews work extra hours to
ensure the arms room is ready at all times,
and despite feeling physically fatigued
by working demanding hours, their
professionalism and responsibility enhances

Soldier Sgt. Im, Soo Yul has been serving
as Senior KATUSA and will leave the Army
in few weeks. As Senior KATUSA he has
learned a lot from the experience especially
leadership. The hardest challenge for him
to face was to become a bridge between
Republic of Korea and U.S. Army. He
always has to be neutral and view each side
without prejudice. Sometimes it was tough
yet this has been a meaningful experience
for Im.
Every Korean man has to serve the
military service for two years. Im however
decided to apply to KATUSA program since
he thought it would be beneficial for him
as he would be able to experience different
culture and improve English skills.
Im’s major duty as Senior KATUSA is
taking care of KATUSA Soldiers in the unit.

attention to where KATUSA Soldiers may
face some difficulties due to the cultural and
language barriers.
He thinks leadership is what to make
people to run the organization without
problems without presence of actual leader.
In order to achieve this leadership skill,
Im thinks ability to motivate members of
the team is the most important key. “In
the Army, even though NCO Soldiers
accomplish their duty successfully, if they
fail to motivate their Soldiers to achieve
the goal also, they should not be considered
to be a good leader,” said Im. “Motivation
is important. Motivation is what makes
Soldiers to serve the service successfully and
run the organization.”
Im does not regret the fact that he joined
the KATUSA program. He learned a lot, saw
a lot, and experience a lot. He will start his

From the Bench
By Phil Molter
USAG-Daegu Public Affairs Officer
Wondering what From the Bench is?
Well, it all started in Sasebo, Japan, about
nine years ago, when several people (among
them Dennis Lebling and Kyle Rhodus)
teamed up to start a sports talk radio show.
When Kyle moved to Yokosuka, Japan,
From the Bench grew into a live, call-in, TV,
radio and webcast sports talk show.
After a brief hiatus, FTB reappeared –
this time in print, in Washington, D.C.,
as a regular column in Naval District
Washington’s flagship paper The Waterline.
This brings us to the here and now. From
the Bench makes its debut appearance in
Korea! Not sure how long it will last, that
will be up to you readers. So, if you like
the idea of a sports column here on the
peninsula, let us know! And we need your
help too. Let us know what’s going on out
there (MWR intramural and youth sports,
schools) and we’ll make sure to include it
in the column.
Just to give you an idea of what you’ll
be seeing here, well, it will be a “sports
smorgasbord.” Discussion will range from
fantasy football to world cup soccer to
the IAAF World Championships to be
held in Daegu in 2011, major sports in
season and likewise for high school and
college. Hopefully there will be some guest
columnists and reader comments will be
printed (appropriate comments, at least!).
To start things off, I’m sure many of you
are getting ready to do your fantasy football
drafts and seasons, so I’ll share a few pointers
AREA IV USAG-D • PAGE 27
http://ima.korea.army.mil/areaiv
some of us have learned over the years.
1. KNOW YOUR LEAGUE RULES!
Some leagues score QB passing touchdowns
as 4 points, some 6. Some leagues count
receptions, some don’t. Some leagues have
three wide receivers and two running
backs, some have one of each and three
“flex” players. Get the idea? If you are not
completely familiar with your league’s
scoring system, you could be left out in the
cold on draft day.
2. NO QB IS WORTH DRAFTING
IN THE FIRST ROUND. Okay, this might
not be a hard and fast rule, but in general,
you have to start two or three RBs and/
or two or three WRs (yes, there are some
leagues with two QBs but that’s a whole
other column), and only one QB – do the
math, you are way better off getting a top
RB or two or RB/WR combination before
going to a QB. Even in the third round you
should still have a McNabb, Romo, Rivers
or Warner to pick up; even waiting until the
fourth or fifth you could still see Schaub,
Roethlisberger, Garrard – all serviceable
fantasy producers and you’d be fat at your
other skill positions.
3. KEEP TRACK OF BYE WEEKS. Official U.S. Navy File Photo
