YONCH’ON — In a matter of seconds, the endof an ordinary day’s work turned into an act ofheroism for Marine Capt. John Graham, an aviationordnance officer for Marine Forces Korea, and MarineCpl. Joshua Frazier, an aviation ordnance technicianfor MARFORK. They were returning from theYonch’on magazine area Nov. 4 when they becamethe witnesses to a car accident. All the training theyever received on handling these situations played intomotion as they assisted in rescuing the victims.

“I have been through CPR (CardiopulmonaryResuscitation) training and EMT (Emergency MedicalTechnican) training in the civilian sector,” Graham said.

Graham describes the events that lead up toeverything in great detail.

“We were traveling on I-20 into Northern Pohangwhen a vehicle passed by us doing approximately 180kilometers per hour. About 3 minutes later we wereentering a tunnel, when I noticed the vehicle that passedby me had struck another vehicle and both were againstthe far left wall blocking the left lane. I pulled over to

the left approximately 50 meters behind the wreck,put on the hazards and both the corporal and I jumpedout to assist at the scene,” Graham said.

As Graham surveyed the wreckage, he realizedthere was a strong odor of fuel and people were stillinside the vehicle that had been struck and overturned.

Half of the occupants of the struck vehicle werealready out of the vehicle staggering around. However,realizing there were still people that needed to berescued, he and Frazier proceeded to rescue theremaining victims.

“I had (Frazier) clear them (the ones who made itout already) from the vehicle and traffic and sit themon the curb away from the wreckage. As I lookedinto the overturned vehicle there was an elderly womansitting half inside of the vehicle with a small child inher arms and an elderly man still wedged in betweenthe seats,” Graham said. “I got the older woman andyoung girl out and had Frazier walk them to the curbwith the rest of the family. I proceeded to free theolder man from the front seats to the back seats andout of the vehicle. He had taken some trauma to theface and was bleeding from the mouth, nose and fromhis other facial wounds. At this point all people wereaway from the wrecked vehicle and staged on thecurb.”

There were a total of five adults and two young

WASHINGTON – When you hearnews about the war in Iraq youusually hear it from a high-level Armyspokesperson or you hear the mediadescribe it as “another deadly day.”The view on the ground from theSoldier’s perspective is oftenoverlooked.

We are the ones who live theconflict every day, who see theprogress day-to-day. We are the oneswho experience the sorrows, whointeract with the people, and who seethe enemy’s effort to undo every goodthing the Iraqi people and coalitionforces have done.

What every Soldier wants is tosucceed in our mission and go hometo our families. The things we do eachday allow us the ability to do just that.My unit, 3rd Platoon, Company A, 5thBattalion, 20th Infantry, has seenmany successes.

The most important is getting theIraqi security forces organized andcapable of handling every problem thatmay arise in the future. Accomplishingthis happens on all levels, from thecommanders down to the averageprivate.

We have a training program

through which Iraqi Army Soldierslearn the same basic tasks every U.S.Army Soldier knows. The AmericanSoldiers develop friendships with theIraqi soldiers and police. We joke, eat,talk about family and conductmissions together. Every day, Soldiersare working hand-in-hand withIraqis, teachingthem to succeedin their jobs.

Since we havebeen here, theIraqi securityforces have been the main effort –finding countless caches, killing orcapturing anti-Iraqi personnel andthwarting attacks targeted at coalitionforces. They continue to underminethe enemy and gain the confidence oftheir fellow countrymen.

We are also building importantand long-lasting relationships withthe residents of surroundingcommunities. We go to schools andneighborhoods giving the kidsbackpacks full of supplies, handingout candy and hearing the concernsof the people. We ask about theirbasic services, such as food, water,electricity and fuel. We hand outcards with hotline numbers to

address any problems, and we sharehandshakes.

We see the smiles of a hopefulgeneration and we see the efforts ofthe anti-Iraqi forces to shatter thesedreams. There has been a major effortby AIF to sell and hand out a wide

variety of realistic-looking toy guns. TheAIF’s hope is for theIraqi army and coalitionforces to engage thechildren, but withconstant training and thehelp of the communities,

we will yet again foil their plans topromote chaos and hatred.

Every day we interact and help Iraqgrow, we are one more day closer tosuccess and one day closer to seeingour families.

What does the average Soldierthink every day? He wants toaccomplish the mission. He wants tosee the smiles of the Iraqi peoplelast. He is grateful for everything hehas back home and he wishes thevery same freedom he is fighting forupon the country of Iraq.

“Every day we interactand help Iraq grow, we areone more day closer tosuccess and one day closer toseeing our families.”

The $1,500 scholarships are available for children ofmilitary active-duty, retired, and Guard and Reserveservicemembers. Most of the funds are donated bymanufacturers, brokers and suppliers selling groceries incommissaries, and every dollar donated to the program byindustry or the general public goes to fund the scholarships.The program is administered by the Fisher House Foundation.

KUNSAN AIR BASE — He’s been all round the PacificRim in recent months, getting a first-hand look at the missionof Pacific Air Force bases and their contribution to peace andstability throughout the same region.

But Chief Master Sgt. Anthony Bishop’s visit to the WolfPack Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 gave him a better understanding ofhow the Republic of Korea remains a peaceful and democraticcountry.

Bishop, PACAF command chief, got an up-close look atthe mission of the 8th Fighter Wing, including a show offorce of how security forces would deter a special forcesattack, a walk-through of new dormitory facilities underconstruction near the O’Malley Dining Facility, and a tour ofthe Wolf’s ACE in the Hole non-alcoholic lounge.

During an interview with the Wolf Pack Warrior, Bishop,who recently received a walk-through tour of airmendormitories, said the changes to Kunsan’s infrastructure areabsolutely critical.

“The leadership of the installation is focused on thedormitories,” Bishop said. “As far as all the upgrades, thisbase is critical to the Global War on Terror, defending theKorean peninsula and ensuring peace and stability in the Pacifictheater. I had an opportunity to tour the new 248-persondormitory going up … this will help eliminate the deficit ofairmen living doubled up in the dorms. The current status isgreat, but we should always keep an eye on the future andconstantly improve the facilities our Airmen work, live andplay in.”

The chief continued, delving into other issues effectingAirmen not only at Kunsan, but living on the Korean peninsula.

“The biggest hardship for airmen here is the tyranny ofdistance,” he said. “For our airmen, going anywhere takes agood amount of time and a good amount of money. We nolonger have the Patriot Express, which was a great opportunity

for our folks to take a trip back home at minimal cost. That isan increased hardship on our folks and makes being awayfrom home just that more difficult. PACAF is working withU.S. Transportation Command to find ways to get back andsee friends and family. We’re looking at every opportunity toincrease travel [opportunities] while mitigating the hardshipof our people here.”

But other issues affect Airmen around the Air Force. Onesuch issue is the Air Force’s increase in deployments thatback-fill traditional Army missions. Bishop said he understandsairmen’s concerns, but pointed out the nature of war haschanged dramatically.

“With insurgents and terrorists, the nature of what we dohas changed,” he said. “We have to keep in mind this isn’tthe U.S. Army against the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistanbeing fought by the United States. We need airmen to

WASHINGTON — The Armyhomepage, www.army.mil, got a newlook Nov. 9.

Users will find a new format designedto better meet their needs.

“The new Army homepage will serveas the online public entryway, providinginstant access to information about theArmy, by the Army,” said Lt. Col. JosephYoswa, director of WebCommunications.

The look shifts from the black, greyand gold palette begun four years agoto the camouflage colors of the ArmyCombat Uniform.

“We’ve adopted a corporate approachto the Web site, with fewer links on thefront page but more variety ofinformation and a more intuitivenavigation scheme,” Yoswa said.Information has been grouped intosections more easily understood by thosewho are new to the Army family andthe general public, he added.

The site features a revamped newssection at www.army.mil/news withsuch regional focuses as Europe, Asiaand South Africa, and sectional focuseson technology, health and humaninterest. These sections capitalize on the

Army homepage getsextreme makeoverArmy News Service capabilities of the newly activated

Soldiers Media Center, which collectsprint and broadcast products fromthroughout the Army.

The former homepage featured threeimages that randomly displayed eachtime the main page loaded.

“We have increased the capability tonow have up to six pieces of contentrepresented, to include an image, newsstory, video, slide show, audio show orvarious combinations of these contents,”said Yoswa.

“As the SMC collects informationfrom across the Army, this new formatamplifies those stories, messages andexperiences that are the Army,” said Col.Richard Breen, SMC commander.

This is not the first effort of ArmyPublic Affairs, SMC’s headquarterselement, to provide a collaborativecapability online. More than a year ago,Army Community Relations launched anonline Outreach calendar that is nowincluded on multiple pages of army.mil.

“Army.mil is a proven success,continually ranking within the top 1,100Web sites in the world, out of a field ofover a million Web sites. Between six totwelve million visitors come to army.milin any given month,” Yoswa said.

YONGSAN GARRISON – TheBusiness Transformation Officetrained 12 Army personnel from allcorners of the peninsula to beexecutive leaders as part of their LeanSix Sigma campaign Nov. 1-3.

“The purpose of the ExecutiveLeadership Awareness Training andProject Selection IdentificationWorkshop is to educate leaders onthe Lean Six Sigma process,” saidMaj. Kevin Reszka, deputy resourcemanager for 19th SustainmentCommand (Expeditionary).

The PSIW is for project sponsorsto develop project charters. Projectsponsors are typically lieutenantcolonels or Department of Defensecivilians (GS-14s) who own aprocess. They are the individuals thatcan initiate a change to a method,process, or procedure. Therefore,project sponsors – individuals inleadership positions – are essential tothe success of Lean Six Sigma. Without them, there would be noprogram, said Lt. Col. David A.Williams, a resource manager withthe 2nd Infantry Division.

to work hard,” said Tafoya. “They alsodemonstrate that military communities arecommitted to education and increasedopportunities for all students.”

The scholarship program has alsomade inroads to increasing support fromthe “nonmilitary” community. Californiahigh school students sponsoring golftournaments in 2006 raised thousands ofdollars to donate to the program, andalready for 2007, a private foundation hasmade a substantial donation.

“We’re excited to see this worthwhileprogram gaining recognition and fundingfrom the community at large,” said JimWeiskopf, vice president ofcommunications at Fisher HouseFoundation. “Commissary industry

support has been amazing and increasedpublic support can only help ensure thatthe Scholarships for Military Childrenprogram continues to benefit the militarycommunity for many years to come.”

Donations can be made through the linkat militaryscholar.org, the official programWeb site.

Applications for 2007, which includean essay on “how and why” the applicantwould change an historical event, mustbe turned in at a commissary by close ofbusiness on Feb. 21, 2007. At least one$1,500 scholarship will be awarded atevery commissary location with qualifiedapplicants.

Bishop departed Kunsan Wednesday,but before leaving, he said heunderstands airmen are away fromhome during this holiday season. But,

instead of being home with their ownfamilies, they were together with theirAir Force family.

“The holidays are about family, and allof us want to be home with them,” hesaid. “But you’re here with your Air Forcefamily. With nearly 2,800 airmen, youhave an opportunity to come togetherunlike any other place I’ve seen.”

Teamwork in action: AFSC addresses barracks issuesBy Margaret Banish-DonaldsonArea I Public Affairs

JIM CUNNINGHAM

CAMP RED CLOUD – This is the final partof a three-part series about the issues from the2005 Army Family Action Plan conference to theArmy Family Steering Committee.

Every year the Army Family Action Planconference gives delegates an opportunity toimprove the quality of life for fellow Soldiersand their families in Warrior Country.

Last year Area I and 2nd Infantry DivisionAFAP conference delegates identified 38 issuesfor implementation to the Army Family ActionPlan Steering committee. After months of study,the steering committee completed 21 issues, sentsix issues to 8th U.S. Army, rejected four issuesand is currently working on the remaining sevenissues.

“We are making changes, and we’d like toshare our plans with you today as we take thenext steps to improve the living conditions inWarrior Country,” said Lt. Col. Terry Hodges,Camp Casey garrison commander, at a recentcommittee meeting.

The Directorate of Public Works initiated astrike team for both enclaves, Uijeongbu andDongducheon. A noncommissioned officer isassigned to the teams, along with a compositionof skilled labor to identify issues to be corrected.

If the item can be corrected at the unit levelwith items obtained from the self-help store, itis done first. If skilled labor is required, thenDPW or the Korean Service Corps will attemptto cor rec t the problem. I f i t needs majorconstruction, then it goes to the InstallationPlanning Board and that committee prioritizes thelist.

The Area I IPB provides a way for the Area I

installation commander to gain an agreement onthe installation master plan, and set prioritiesamong the senior leadership of installation tenantsand brigade-level tenant organizations.

“The major concern for both enclaves isfunding,” Hodges said. “More than 18 barrackswere approved and funded for renovation in theCasey enclave from the fiscal year 2006 list. Wecontinuously move units from barracks to analternative living space, while we work to make

extensive improvements. So far we have mademajor improvements on more than 25 buildingswhen funds were given to us at the end of 2006.”

During the fall cleanup and again next springthe units will find additional work that needs tobe done on the barracks to improve the qualityof life for Soldiers. The work is done by therepair-by-unit or repair-by-individuals throughthe Directorate of Logistics excess supplies.

“We are extending this to the spring clean upwhere we will put a coat of paint on a building,but it will require some labor from the Soldiersto do it,” Hodges said. “Mold-resistant paint isalso being used and dehumidifiers placed inbuildings where mold occurs.”

In addition, the Fires Brigade sergeant majorat Camp Casey, along with the assistant divisioncommander, brigade commanders and sergeantsmajor do inspect the barracks. As a result, theyhave found 10 buildings that need to be placedon the approved priority project list and the IPBfor fiscal year 2007.

Furthermore, the fire department buildingmanagers helps find and solve problems. DPWreal property is another working group who looksat items and tells commanders what work canbe done by a unit.

“Continued strong support on these quality-of-life matters is necessary,” Hodges said. “Ourstrategy of day-to-day interactions with ourcustomers, employees and stakeholders allowsus to measure our level of success and identifyfuture unit requirements. Maintaining highquality-of-life standards is directly attributed toour ability to listen to our most precious resource– the people.”

CAMP CASEY - In Greek andRoman mythology, the sun god Apollogave his brother Mercury a staff andwinged shoes so that he could be thequick messenger of the mythical gods.The staff presented to Mercury was nota 35-pound rucksack, and evenMercury would have struggled to makeeight miles in 58 minutes.

More than 80 Soldiers did shoulderthat load, though, when they entered theMorale, Welfare and RecreationRucksack 8-mile Challenge Nov. 11 atCamp Casey.

The first place time was astonishingto most in attendance. MichaelWoudenberg, 2nd Lt., Headquarters,Headquarters Company 1/72nd Artilleryof Camp Casey, ran the eight miles in 58minutes and 12 seconds.

“The Rucksack Challenge cameabout early last year,” said Jim Williams,MWR sports director at Carey FitnessCenter, Camp Casey. “The commandwanted a fitness type run or militaryevent to take place sometime about sixmonths after the relay run. It is to keepthose Soldiers in shape that are really

serious about preparing for themarathon.”

The first Rucksack Challengeregistered only 18 Soldiers. This eventattracted more than 80 Soldiers.

The Soldiers ran eight miles. Theybegan at Casey’s Carey Fitness Centerand ran through Camp Hovey all theway to the Tokori gate and backthrough the ranges.

“We have some steep hills in thecourse, and they will have to run with a

35-pound rucksack on their back,”Williams said. “Unlike the baton relayrace, they can wear physical trainingshoes and PT uniforms; they do nothave to wear BDUs. The only thing wemandate is the 35-pound rucksack andsome water.”

There are no follow up events to theRucksack Challenge. It is a single event.

“We only do this event and the batonrelay,” Williams said.

The awards are extensive. Firstthrough fifth places for both men andwomen, receive awards. First throughsecond place for teams, receive awards,which include plaques and trophies.

First place in the women’s divisionwas 2nd Lt. Valerie Bartonico, CCO302nd Brigade Support Battalion, with atime of 1 hour, 33 minutes and 59seconds;second place in the women’sdivision was Capt. Bianca Ellis, CCO,302nd BSB, 1 hour, 39 minutes and 50seconds.

First place in the team event wasHeadquarters, Headquarters Company,1/72nd Artillery, with a time of 1 hour,29 minutes and 2 seconds.

Second Lt. Michael Woudenberg, HHC1/72nd Artillery, crosses the finish line in58 minutes and 12 seconds.


UIJEONGBU—Many families resteasier now that their children have hadfire safety training from the Area I FireDepartment. Two elementary schools inUijeongbu participated in a Fire SafetyPoster competition and received not onlyfire safety training but also awards forthe best posters depicting good fire safetyhabits.

“The theme this year is ‘watch whatyou heat’,” said John Cook, Area I firechief. “These children participated in visitsto the Area I Fire Station and drew postersfor the Fire Safety Poster competition wehold every year.”

The Indianhead International Schooland the International Christian School,both in Uijeongbu, participated in both thevisits to the fire station and the postercompetition.

“The Area I Fire Prevention Programmeans a lot to our school,” said Rex Freel,director and head of the InternationalChristian School in Uijeongbu. “We wantour children to be aware of all the fireprevention facts, so the fire preventionpeople come over here and give us updateson fire prevention. To be able to go toCamp Red Cloud and see the differentthings the fire department uses to put outand control fires brings the awareness up.Like any emergency, the only time youneed that awareness is when you are inthe middle of an emergency. We hopeemergencies would never occur but they

do. We want our children to be prepared.”These two elementary schools spend

a lot of time in emergency awarenesstraining.

“We have a week in the fall each yearwhen we plan for emergency training ofall kinds,” Freel said. “Throughout thecurriculum we have different times of theyear when we teach how to be preparedfor emergencies such as fire.”

Both schools have frequent fire drills.“We just had a fire drill this morning,”

said John Fitzgerald, director and principalof Indianhead International School. “Wepractice all kinds of emergencies, evenNonessential Personnel Evacuations justlike the U.S. Army holds twice a year.Many of our students are from Americanmilitary families.”

Both schools train and practice firesafety according to guidelines providedby Cook.

“We just had a fire drill last week. Wepractice both the primary route plan andthe secondary route plan for getting outof the building just as the chief’s planindicates,” Freel said. “We follow the basicstructure of fire prevention. We can exitthe building in two and a half minutes.”

The children of both schools were veryexcited about the fire prevention postercompetition.

“Most all of the children entered theposter competition,” Fitzgerald said.“They all did very well and I know it wasdifficult to choose the winners.”

“Most of our students entered a poster

in the competition, if not all of them,” Freelsaid. “They get really excited about theposters.”

There is a very special reason the AreaI Fire Department holds a fire preventionposter competition for the elementaryschool children.

“It’s an extension of Fire PreventionMonth. We do all we can to get the firesafety message out,” said Cook. “Wehappen to know that children are greatfor helping with getting the message intothe home.”

Running a poster contest with the FirePrevention Month theme is another wayto let the children participate and get abetter understanding of the theme andchallenge them to be a part of theprocess.”

“Careful preparation is always in our average dailyroutine,” Watson said. “We concentrate onprogressive cookery, internal temperature signs, andsanitation to insure the first Soldier gets the samequality meal as the last Soldier and continues to dothat on a day to day basis.”

There are things the judges will be looking forthat will take points off during the competition.

“If we have too many leftover’s at the end ofthe meal, if the first Soldier didn’t receive the samequality meal as the last Soldier, they will take pointsoff our score,” Watson said. “If an evaluator wentinto the dining facility and asked the patron if theyenjoyed their meal or asked if the DFAC preparesthis good on a daily basis, and they answer in thenegative; that would be some of the things thatwould take points away from the score.”

Many Soldiers and other patrons come from otherareas and camps just to dine at the DFAC in CampCastle.

“We have a constant headcount of more than

150 patrons,” Watson said. “Some Soldiers fromCamp Casey come over here with other patrons todine at this facility.”

The Camp Castle DFAC did not always look asit does today.

“We received this dining facility about six monthsago,” Watson explained. “It was closed for abouteight months and we brought it from ground zero;we put a sports décor in it and we put our ownpersonal touch to it. We added different grandfatherclocks, mirrors, all kinds of personal touches tochange the ambiance of the facility. When theSoldiers come in they can feel at home.”

The Connelly Awards program began in 1968,and is named in honor of the late Phillip A.Connelly, past president of the International FoodService Executives Association. It is highlyregarded as the driving force behind obtainingIFSEA sponsorship for the Department of theArmy’s recognition of excellence in Army foodservice. E-mail [email protected]

“The competition is very tight and the Soldiersput forth their all every single time we set up,”Brown said. “That is what makes the team sogood at working together. We want to give theSoldiers the best food and nutrition every time.”

It has been said that an army travels on itsstomach, if that is so then it is no wonder theU.S. Army is the finest the world has ever seen.

CAMP RED CLOUD—This is parttwo of a two-part series about operationalsecurity and subversion and espionagedirected against the U.S. Army.

The U.S. Army is a prime and accessibletarget for foreign intelligence and terroristelements which may act in a mannerdetrimental to the interests of our nationalsecurity.

The Army is vulnerable to espionage,sabotage, subversion, sedition andterrorism from both within and outside ofthe United States. The dissolution of theWarsaw Pact and the retreat ofcommunism have not lessened the threatof espionage. The volunteer spy; theincreasing need for foreign governmentsto collect Western technology, which theytarget through their intelligence services;the targeting of U.S. installations andpersonnel by states which sponsorterrorism; and the increasing opportunitiesfor travel and contact between East andWest, underscore the necessity for afocused and effective counter intelligenceawareness, education and reporting

program.In his address Nov. 6 to Area I Soldiers

and civilians, Paul Garcia, force protectionspecialist for Area I, said “If you seesomebody you don’t recognize, you canapproach them. They might be TDY orthey may be coming from Camp Casey,Yongsan, or you might just interrupt thatone person who somehow got on the postand was trying to do a collection.”

The main reason why everyone workingfor the U.S. Army is a target is thatAmericans are a symbol of everything aterrorist hates, Garcia said.

“You are free, privileged and rich,comparatively speaking. Don’t forget thatfor a second,” Garcia said. “They do hateyou because you are a symbol of freedomand everything that they are not allowed tohave.”

Operational security should be a part ofyour personal life, explains Garcia.

“I collect information all day, and then Igo home and there is a trash bag full ofthings with my Social Security number onthem, my address and all my personalinformation. I ask myself why do I letthings go like that. I shred things all day at

work. I catch myself at home and wonderwhy I let myself get by without shreddingmy own personal information beforethrowing it away. Everyone should keepthis in mind when they throw awaydocuments at home. Shred thosedocuments and protect yourself,” he said.

“You are a target, it is not only yourselfyou are protecting, it is also governmentinformation.”

Most of the jobs we perform are forone end, said Garcia.

“Protecting people, protecting the peopleof Korea, protecting the interests of theUnited States, these are the products ofmost of our jobs,” Garcia said.

He added that people are mostvulnerable when we use our computersand go to chat rooms.

“In a chat room you don’t know whothe other person is,” Garcia said. “ArmyKnowledge Online is set up to be forSoldiers and Army civilian personnel.However, as with anything, there are thosethat can gain access through dishonestmeans. Once that happens and you are ina chat room, you are putting yourinformation out there for everyone to see

and everyone to know. If you aretransmitting that information openly, suchas with a wireless keyboard, someone canrecord it.”

There are several reasons that someonewould become a spy, some more thanothers.

“Money is the number one reason peoplesell sensitive information, death is thenumber one cure,” Garcia explained. “Thatis what one risks when selling governmentsecrets and sensitive information.”

One could probably live from five to10 years very well if they were not caught,or maybe longer, explained Garcia.

“When you get caught, the death penaltysticks, and as far as anything else, yourfamily will not be taken care of,” he said.“You forfeit all your other rights. Thereare no more Veteran’s Affairs claims oranything else.”

“You don’t know who the spy is,”Garcia said. “A foreign intelligence officeris not going to identify himself. It isbasically up to you to be distrusting ofeveryone.”

Teacher builds language bridge with volunteer workBy Pfc. Kim Sang-wookArea II Public Affairs

SEOUL — When she was a little girlgrowing up in Daegu, Ham Ae-kyungdid not dream of one day having anAmerican name or teaching English toher fellow Koreans. However, Hamgrew up to become Esther Rauhauser,the wife of American Donald Rauhauser.

Rauhauser has dedicated her freetime as a volunteer English teacher at aKorean community center near Yongsan.

For her efforts, Korean officialshonored Rauhauser in a downtownceremony Nov. 4.

“It makes me feel good that Icontributed something to thecommunity,” she said.

Rauhauser, her husband and threechildren have been committed toteaching English to Korean citizens atthe Gal-wol Community Center nearGate 20 since mid-2004.

Her class members were both youngand old; all came with a desire toimprove English conversation skills andlearn more about American culture.

“They have shared impressions thatthey never had before,” she said.“Escorting them onto the U.S. Armybase was the best experience.”

Rauhauser recalled a successfulbarbecue picnic last year.

“It was a huge success,” she said.

“I really want to thank Mr. and Mrs.Rauhauser,” said Korean student YiSung-bae. “When you look at her andhow she gives perfect effort into ourclass, it makes me feel touched everytime.”

Rauhauser received a Plaque ofAppreciation Nov. 4 from the Yongsan-gu mayor.

The experience has been a greatlesson for her family, she said.

“It was a big blessing and mostrewarding to my family to have such

an opportunity to be part of the GoodNeighbor Program,” she said. “I hopemany Americans step out and minglewith the local people. Share what youcan, and then you will know what I amtalking about.”

The Rauhausers are moving to a newassignment at the Blue Grass ArmyDepot, Ky., later this month.

Rauhauser worked as an accountingtechnician for the 175th FinancialManagement Center.

processes and procedures, and theyknow where there are processes andprocedures that are wasteful and add novalue. These processes make idealcandidates for a Lean Six Sigma reviewbecause reducing waste and variationare the goals of this fact-basedproductivity and quality enhancementprogram, Williams said.

A project charter is the instrumentthat outlines what the Lean Six Sigmateam should investigate. A good projectcharter provides a problem statement,outlines goals and objectives, states thebusiness impact, gives the project scope,and lists the team members and aschedule, Reszka said.

“Every year there are classes thatteach people the principles of Lean SixSigma. The graduates are grouped asgreen belts and black belts,” Reszka said.

Lean Six Sigma is one of the maintools of change in the Secretary of theArmy’s Business Transformationinitiative, which aims to more effectivelysupport the war-fighter throughstreamlining the support processes.

“The Army has many demands withlimited resources. In order to combatthis problem, the Lean Six Sigmaprogram teaches its students ways tominimize waste, reduce unnecessaryactions and cut time. By doing this theArmy can save money,” said Williams.

Lean Six Sigma is being used to re-engineer Army business processes to

achieve greater efficiency, improvequality, decrease cycle time and reducecost. The Army is rapidly transformingusing Lean Six Sigma methodology andlessons learned.

Like any school, these classes groupindividuals into different categoriesdepending to how much training thestudents have received.

“It takes about a month to receivegreen bel t cer t i f icat ion and sixmonths for black belt certification.The training being conducted forthis class is a little different fromthe training black belts and greenbelts receive. We are being taughthow to manage within the Lean SixSigma organization process. Whenwe are done we will be the leadersand organizers for the green beltsand black belts that work for us,”Reszka said.

Units Army-wide are applying LeanSix Sigma methodology to all businessresourcing, management andacquisition processes to become moreeffective, improve quality, reducecycle time and achieve costreductions.

Just as the Army is leveraging thelessons of war to improve fightingeffectiveness, it is also applyingrelevant corporate best practices toimprove our business processes andmaximize use of our financial, humanand materiel resources.

Thanksgiving will be very special tomy family this year. I grew up inSouth Korea. When I was 31 years old, my wifeand I went to America. Since then, my wife and Idecided to celebrate Thanksgiving instead ofChusok (Korea’s Thanksgiving Holiday). DuringThanksgiving Holidays, we have enjoyed turkey,ham, corn, roast beef, pumpkin pie, and variouskinds of Thanksgiving food. However, we alwaysmissed our families in Korea. This year,Thanksgiving will be different. We alreadycelebrated Chusok with our Korean families for thefirst time since 1995. We are also going to celebrateThanksgiving this year with our American family,Soldiers who are missing their families back in theStates. We haven’t decided yet what kind of foodwe will prepare for them, whether it will be Korean

traditional food or American. It probably will bedelicious foods from both cultures.

On Thanksgiving Day, I usually write downseveral thanksgiving topics that reflect God’s graceand love upon my life during the year. This year Ihave one special thanksgiving topic; thank you toAmerica for giving me the great opportunity toserve Soldiers as an Army Chaplain. Right aftermy American citizenship celebration, the terroristattacks on September 11th occurred. At that time,I felt a need to do something for my newcountry, but I was sad and frustrated because Icould not. Then in 2004, I found the best way toserve my new country was as a Soldier. I gladlyjoined the Army in 2004 and deployed to Iraqright away. During this deployment in Iraq, Iwas greatly privileged to take care of manySoldiers as a chaplain.

American citizenship became a true reality to my

daily life. Now I have the heart of an American.My mind has been trained as an American citizen;and I am enjoying all the rights, privileges andbenefits as an American citizen. The AmericanGovernment graciously accepted my family andnaturalized us as American citizens. When I appliedto the Army, the U.S Army graciously commissionedme as a chaplain. Although I sometimes feel strangeas a Korean-American Soldier stationed in Korea, Iam really enjoying my new life as a U.S Armychaplain here in my mother country.

I am excited to celebrate Thanksgiving 2006here in Korea with my American Soldiers whohave sacrificially been serving our country, theUnited States of America. In addition, I amthankful to my mother country, South Korea,which taught and educated me to grow as aman of God. This year, my family and I havemuch to celebrate on Thanksgiving!

Juwangsan: Behold year-round splendorBy Kevin JacksonArea IV Public Affairs

MOUNT JUWANG, Republic of Korea – Ifyou’re looking for an escape from the city thatcombines National Geographic beauty with mysteriouscharm and serenity, look no further – CheongsongJusanji and Mount Juwang National Park await you inSoutheastern Korea.

Jusanji, or Jusan Pond, and the surrounding parkwas beautifully documented in acclaimed producerKim Ki-duk’s award-winning movie, “Spring,Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring” (also known asBom Yeoreum, Gaeul, Gyeoul geurigo Bom).

Nestled within the park, the pond exudes an aura ofmystery as the mist enveloping the Jeolgol Valley,Jeolgolcheon, begins to lift, and reveals 30 big willowtrees each about 150 years old, sprouting out of thewater. With Mount Juwang, or Juwangsan, in thebackground, the reflection cast by the park in thefootball field-size pond, believed to be nearly 300 yearsold, resembles a spectacular watercolor painting.Jusanji opens to the public two hours before sunriseand closes at sunset.

Juwangsan was designated as National Park No. 12on March 30, 1976. It is the smallest of the Korea’snational parks and is the only one in southeasternKorea. The park is not so steep, which makes it greatfor walking and enjoying nature. About 500,000 peoplevisit the park each year.

In the past, Juwangsan was known asSeokpyeongsan, which means folded stone screenmountain. Because of the scenic beauty of itslimestone pinnacles, Juwangsan is often referred to asminor Geumgang (Diamond Mountain) in NorthGyeongsang Province. Mount Geumgang is thesecond tallest in North Korea and has become apopular tourist attraction in recent years.

Juwangsan is steeped in legend. It is believed thatin the Silla Kingdom, Judo from the Chinese TangDynasty (8th Century) attempted a coup. When itfailed, he fled and hid in the mountains. He was

subsequently called KingJuwang and themountain was namedafter him.

Juwangsan is dividedinto three districts:Jubanggol at the park’sentrance; Jeolgolcheonin the east; andYaksutang, which isfamous for its mineralsprings, in the west. Thepark boasts sixmountains about 2,950feet high. TaehaengMountain at 3,061 feet isthe tallest, but JuwangMountain at 2,365 feetnear the park’s entranceis the biggest touristattraction.

Jubong Valley is 3.1miles long and is themain valley in the park.In the spring the entirevalley is transformedinto an astonishingflower garden filled with

Wild royal azaleas grow naturally, turning the Jubang Valley atMount Juwang National Park into an extraordinary flower gardeneach spring. The Wild Royal Azalea Festival is held annually thefirst week of May in the park.

Buddhist Daejeon Temple sits in the foreground of the flagrock, or Giam, in the background. The temple, designatedas Tangible Cultural Property No. 22 in North GyeongsangProvince, was built in 672 A.D. and there are several talesabout its construction.

wild royal azalea.Legend states theflowers are thereincarnation of KingJuwang’s spirit.

During the spring andearly summer monthseverything turns green,rainfall replenishes thestreams and therefreshing sounds ofthree waterfalls flowingthrough the rockyvalleys resonatesthrough the park tocreate the perfect escapefrom the summer heat.

Autumn, when the leaves turn crimson is undeniablythe most unforgettable. Even winter, when snowblankets the peaks and valleys, provides a breathtakingretreat if one can tolerate the cold winds that whipthrough the park.

There are six temples and hermitages located insideJuwangsan, including Daejeon temple, or Daejeonsa,near the park entrance. Daejeonsa was first built in672 A.D., but reconstructed in 1672 because of warand fire. It houses national treasures such as theportrait of the Great Buddhist Monk Sa-myeong andan engraved wooden board made by Gen. Lee Yeo-song and presented to the monk. Juwangam andBaekryeonam are the two hermitages.

All trails within the park allow for day hikes. Themain trail is a circular route that traces Jubongcheon.The five trails range from 6.8 to 9.75 miles and can becompleted in about four to six hours.

More than 900 species of fauna, of which nearly800 are insects, populate the park. The speciesinclude legally protected animals like the otter,leopard cat and Eurasian flying squirrel. Thepicturesque park also contains an extensive array offlora including more than 750 documented plantspecies.

Willow trees sprout out of Jusan Pond (Junsanji).

The third waterfall at 72 feet is the highest of the three waterfalls inside Mount Juwang National Park.It roars in the early summer when the streams are filled with water and is exceptionally beautiful inthe fall when the foilage changes color.

Mooney said it was a great event forparents and children because it was arelaxing day and there was no set timelimit. Parents could stay as long or aslittle as they wanted.

Boy Scouts from Troop 203, Far EastDistrict, sold concessions and helped theanglers throughout the day. The Scoutslearned how to bait their own hooks andthen were able to render assistancewhere needed.

Three Pflueger bait-cast reels weregiven away during the event andMooney said three more will be givenaway at the Father’s Day Catfish Derbynext spring.
