A Boeing 747, contracted by the U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command, lands at the Guantanamo Bay airfield with humanitarian supplies. The humanitarian supplies are being flown into GTMO as part of Operation Unified Response, a joint operation providing humanitarian assistance following a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that devastated Haiti Jan. 12.

Military, Civilian Teamwork MakesIncreased Air Operations Possible

By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Leona Mynes, Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Public Affairs

Before the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti

Jan. 12, 2010, Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba’s air operations department was responsible for overseeing less than ten flights per day at its leeward airfield.

Some flights included C-12 aircraft flown by naval aviators, small U.S. Coast Guard aircraft and helicopters, small private

passenger planes and Air Mobility Command contracted 727 passenger airplanes that carried up to 150 personnel to and from the island.

“Once the earthquake hit, we ramped up [operations] big time,” said Chief Electronics Technician Ray Hammonds, the air operations department leading chief petty officer. “Initially, it was with MEDEVAC flights. Then squadrons started showing up. Now we’re running C-130s, C-2s, E-2s, C-17s, C-5s and 747s in and out of GTMO on a daily basis.”

At first, the task seemed overwhelming for the small airfield, and coordination efforts between civilians and military became essential to mission success.

“The first four or five days were extremely busy,” said

Monday to Mark 10-Week Warning for PRTFrom Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Public Affairs

The beginning of February marks ten

weeks from the scheduled spring 2010 Navy physical readiness test in Guantanamo Bay.

The spring PRT is scheduled for April 19, with weigh-ins occurring the week prior.

“Everybody knows what they need to do to pass and do well on the PRT,” said Navy Diver 1st Class Brett Roberts, a naval station assistant command fitness leader.

Attending command physical training three times per week has become a challenge for some Sailors due to the increase in command

Hammonds. “I’ve done everything from helping get victims out of here to unloading supplies.”

Hammonds said logistical support with Guantanamo’s limited resources was air operations’ biggest challenge. Squadrons needed support like lodging, transportation, food and work spaces. The air terminal team and the air operations department worked together to ensure the increased numbers of personnel and cargo were properly accomodated.

“The first few days, handling all those aspects of the operation were the most daunting,” said Hammonds. “If we didn’t have an answer, we knew where to get the answer. All in all, it was just making things happen.”

Hammonds said air operations department personnel worked with the five U.S. civilian contractors and 21 foreign nationals of the air terminal staff to create one team whose goal was to smoothly expedite materials and personnel.

“We work hand-in-hand with the Navy to coordinate the movements of all passengers and cargo to and from GTMO,” said Mark Veditz, the air operations project manager for the naval station. “The Navy has done a great job of working with us by supplying the personnel and equipment needed to make this successful.”

Veditz has worked for the naval station’s

AIR OPS

air terminal for more than 12 years. “After 9/11, GTMO ramped up like this,” said

Veditz. “There was a big influx of personnel bringing supplies and we were responsible for getting them right back out. [Because of 9/11,] we already knew what we could accomplish.”

The air terminal offered its spaces for cargo and personnel awaiting transport to ships in-theater or to earthquake-devastated Haiti.

Veditz credited Air Terminal Manager Drew Lasseter and Air Traffic Control Facilities Officer Pam Gardner with making the air terminal’s role in Operation Unified Response a success.

“From parking planes to scheduling landings and take-offs, they made it work,” Veditz said.

The direction Operation Unified Response will take over the next few weeks is unknown, but Veditz said the air terminal is standing by to provide all the support they can.

The U.S. Southern Command designated Guantanamo Bay as the hub for logistical support for Operation Unified Response because of its location, infrastructure and facilities. The Naval Station provides a forward air and sea logistical receiving, processing and staging area.

“This is a tragic thing that happened in Haiti,” said Hammonds. “But this is a real world operation as opposed to training … so this is what we’re supposed to do. I get a great deal of pleasure out of trying to help the people [in Haiti], and I know air operations folks do too.”

Several planes, including a Boeing 727 aircraft operated by Delta Airlines, a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III, a U.S. Navy C-130T Hercules and several C-2A Greyhounds and E-2C Hawkeyes line the Leeward airfield Jan. 26.

Navy Modifies Sexual Assault Reporting ProceduresFrom Navy Personnel Command Public Affairs

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- The Navy announced new requirements Jan. 26 for commands reporting sexual assault.

Updated sexual assault reporting policy requires commanders to consult with a judge advocate general officer in any alleged sexual assault or sexual harassment case.

Additionally, commands must now reference the date/time groups of related reports when filing follow-up reports. Complete guidance is available in OPNAV Instruction 1752.1B.

“Sexual assault is a safety and readiness issue that requires the attention, focus and

awareness of all commanders. It is an affront to our Navy core values and ethos and cannot be tolerated,” said Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson, to Navy leaders.

In 2009, the Navy renamed the Sexual Assault Victim Intervention program to Sexual Assault Prevention and Response to align with the mission of the program, underlining the importance of both prevention and response.

“Prevention requires proactive leadership involvement to shift from a reactive to proactive mentality,” said Ferguson. He stressed the need for leaders to review the instruction and comply with its requirements.

A Message From the CMCSailors at the Naval Station have done an exceptional job of sustaining Guantanamo’s supportive role in Operation Unified Response. The GTMO Chief Petty Officers would like to praise all of our Sailors for their hard work and rapid response. We have seen impressive leadership among the ranks at GTMO and are proud to know that our junior Sailors are stepping out as leaders and making tough decisions, sticking to the Navy’s core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. We couldn’t do our job without you and your efforts. For that, we want to recognize all of you as our Sailors of the Week.

Command Master Chief Keith Carlson, Naval Station Guantanamo Bay

operational activities, Roberts said.

“There’s always downtime somewhere,” said Roberts. “[Sailors] should be doing at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times per week.”

Roberts also dispelled the rumor that the PRT is cancelled and encouraged Sailors to start maintaining their fitness now.

“People need to manage their weight, do aerobic exercise like running or biking and also work on their strength.”

For more information on the spring PRT, call Roberts at 4444.

From the IRS Media Relations Office

WASHINGTON—People who give to charities providing earthquake relief in Haiti can claim these donations on the tax return they are completing this season, according to the Internal Revenue Service.

Taxpayers who itemize deductions on their 2009 return qualify for this special tax relief provision, enacted Jan. 22. Only cash contributions made to these charities after Jan. 11, 2010, and before March 1, 2010, are eligible. This includes contributions made by text message, check, credit card or debit card.

“Americans have opened their hearts to help those affected by the Haiti earthquake,” said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman.” This new law provides an immediate tax benefit for the many

taxpayers who have made generous donations.”

Taxpayers can benefit from their donations, almost immediately, by filing their 2009 returns early, filing electronically and choosing direct deposit. Refunds take as few as ten days and can be directly deposited into a savings, checking or brokerage account, or used to purchase Series I U.S. savings bonds.

The new law only applies to cash (as opposed to property) contributions. The contributions must be made specifically for the relief of victims in areas affected by the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. Taxpayers have the option of deducting these contributions on either their 2009 or 2010 returns, but not both.

To get a tax benefit, taxpayers must itemize their deductions on Schedule A. Those who claim the

Haiti Relief Donations Qualify for Immediate Tax Reliefstandard deduction, including all short-form filers, are not eligible.

Taxpayers should be sure their contributions go to qualified charities. Most organizations eligible to receive tax-deductible donations are listed in a searchable online database available on IRS.gov under Search for Charities. Some organizations, such as churches or governments, may be qualified even though they are not listed on IRS.gov. Donors can find out more about organizations helping Haitian earthquake victims from agencies such as USAID.

The IRS reminds donors that contributions to foreign organizations generally are not deductible. IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, provides information on making contributions to charities.

Federal law requires that taxpayers keep a

record of any deductible donations they make. For donations by text message, a telephone bill will meet the recordkeeping requirement if it shows the name of the donee organization, the date of the contribution and the amount of the contribution. For cash contributions made by other means, be sure to keep a bank record, such as a cancelled check, or a receipt from the charity showing the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution. Publication 526 has further details on the recordkeeping rules for cash contributions.

This year’s special Haiti relief provision is modeled on a 2005 law that, in the wake of the Dec. 26, 2004, Indian Ocean tsunami, allowed taxpayers to deduct donations they made during January 2005 as if they made the donations in 2004.

From Naval Station Guantanamo Bay Public Affairs

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay’s surge in activity has increased the

tempo of base operations for several departments, including housing.

Over the past 15 days, the housing department has put together more than 20 houses and provided more than 100 beds to berthing facilities base wide.

“The hardest thing for housing has been to get the largest capacity for personnel that we can with the staff and materials we have on-hand,” said Julie Hall, the housing installation program manager for the naval station.

Housing has outfitted leeward berthing facilities with beds and cots from the time of the earthquake until now, all of which are filled, according to Hall.

Housing Helps NAVSTA with Operation Unified Response

These personnel are being housed in all available rooms around the base, like the bachelor’s enlisted quarters, the Navy Lodge and foreign national facilities.

Housing accommodated personnel sleeping on cots with morale boosters like

televisions and morning coffee, said Hall. Normally, the housing office

is responsible for checking in all inbound servicemembers to the naval station and tenant commands to include Joint Task Force Guantanamo.

Russell Alberto and Lloyd Valentino help a newly-arrived sailor check in to his room Jan. 27.

Chaplain’s CornerNoah, this is God

“Noah! This is God.”“Yeah, right.”Have you ever asked the question,

“What in the world are you doing, God?” On Saturday, I came into my office to

find it was being submerged. Water was pouring on to the floor from the wall.

The flood was so great it spread across my office and into the hall. I said to God, “Did you really need to bring a flood on me? I have so much to do today.”

As I have been walking this life, I noticed that God uses big things, like floods, to get our attention. Noah was called out because he found favor in the eyes of God to build an ark.

God sent the flood to get Earth’s attention, declaring that He is the boss. God is trying to get our attention all the time, sometimes he does it through floods, sometimes in a sunrise or a simple smile.

Psalm 50:1 says, “The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the Earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.”

When situations arise we cannot understand, it may be that God is trying to get our attention.

Next time, ask God to show you the purpose behind your flood.

It’s a Dog’s Life

Master-at-Arms 2nd Class John Gillett and his working military dog, Pele, stand watch in the hangar bay at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay’s leeward airfield Jan. 26. Gillett and Pele worked together inspecting thousands of pounds of Haiti-relief supplies, equipment and stores that were offloaded in GTMO.

K-9 units assigned to Guantanamo Bay were essential to eliminating security breaches at the airfield, allowing Haiti-bound logistical support a seamless transition from GTMO to its ultimate destination. The security department worked with all other departments at the naval station to ensure the success of GTMO’s role in Operation Unified Response.

Naval Station Guantanamo Bay has supported the Haiti relief efforts, providing its airfields and lodging facilities to transient personnel, supplies and equipment, and was designated Jan. 17 as the hub for Haiti logistical support under Task Force 48.

Operation Unified Response is focused on alleviating the suffering of survivors of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck near the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince Jan. 12, 2010. Operation Unified Response also supports the humanitarian relief efforts currently underway in the Caribbean.
