The tools of the trade for the Sailors at Midway were variedyet distinguished, and stood tall against the Imperial JapaneseNavy's weapons.

The Battle of Midway, which took place from June 4-8 1942,was a turning point in the PacificWar and arguably set the stagefor the United States to help win the SecondWorldWar. Soldiersfrom all military branches played a part in the battle, but theprimary burden of the engagement was shouldered by navalfleet forces.

“The Navy has core values and the people who fought atMidway personify them,” said Robert Cressman, a historianwith the Naval History and Heritage Command.

The battle is noted as being the first decisive victory by theUnited States in the war with Japan. The Imperial JapaneseNavy (IJN) had already made broad strokes in the Pacific, be-ginning with the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of thePhilippines, Malaya and Singapore, the Battle of Wake Islandand recently a tactical victory at Coral Sea.

“It was a major battle in terms of our own ability to meet theenemy and defeat him,” said Cressman. "The skill of the attacksand heroism was great on both sides.”

The biggest and most obvious piece of technology that theSailors at Midway utilized was of course the aircraft carriers, allthree of which were of the Yorktown class: the Enterprise (CV6), the Hornet (CV 8), and the Yorktown (CV 5). These massive

A visitor at Deep Submergence Unit(DSU), located on Naval Air StationNorth Island, takes a peek at the interi-or of a Submarine Rescue Chamber(SRC) that is used to rescue the crewfrom a submerged disabled subma-rine. This is an improved version of theMcCann Submarine Rescue Cham-ber, developed in 1929 by CharlesMomsen and Allan Rockwell McCann.

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg,Commander, Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs

Commander, Submarine Group 2 visited the MississippiGulf Coast May 16-18 in preparation of the commissioning ofPre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Mississippi (SSN 782), theninthVirginia-class submarine.

The future USS Mississippi will be commissioned inPascagoula on June 2.

"This is going to be an incredible moment for the historyof the state," said Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, who met withhost-city officials, PCU Mississippi Commissioning Commit-tee members and submarine veterans during his visit to theMagnolia State.

While meeting with submarine veterans from the UnitedStates SubmarineVeterans Inc. (USSVI) Base, in Biloxi, Breck-enridge thanked them for their contributions and support.

"The spirit and pride that you all have for the future USSMississippi is eye-watering," said Breckenridge. "The hospi-tality, support and the response from the citizens of Mississip-pi for their ship has been phenomenal."

Breckenridge added that their namesake state will play apivotal role in the history of the boat and forge a strong bondthat will endure during its lifespan of 33 years.

"When the ship is brought to life and the crew is called toman their ship, that is when USS Mississippi will become partof the U.S. Navy," said Breckenridge, who added that the futureUSS Mississippi will be the fifth ship to bear the name of itsnamesake state.

Herbert Edmonds attended a submarine veterans meetingwith the admiral and he praised the technological advance-ments of the Virginia-class program.

"The ship is all computerized, completely different fromwhat I served aboard, but I'm so looking forward to see it," saidEdmonds.

Edmonds is one of 50 members of the USSVITullibee Baseof Mississippi, which was charted on Aug. 25, 2001.The oldestmember of the USSVI Tullibee Base, retired Lt. Cmdr. RichardHalloran, 91, served 29 years in the Navy and volunteered forsubmarine service, ultimately serving aboard six submarineswhile on active duty.

Virginia-class submarines are built under a unique team-ing arrangement between General Dynamics Electric Boat

and Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News. Construc-tion on the submarine began in February 2007 and will becommissioned June 2, 2012.

Once commissioned, Mississippi, like allVirginia-class sub-marines is designed to dominate both the littorals and deepoceans. It will serve as a valuable asset in supporting the core

capabilities of the Maritime Strategy: sea control, power pro-jection, forward presence, maritime security and deterrence.

WASHINGTON - Commander, Navy In-stallations Command (CNIC) announced thephased Navy-wide release of the Housing Ear-ly Application Tool (HEAT) beginning May 1.This web based tool will allow Sailors and theirfamilies to apply for housing online from anycomputer.

“HEAT makes the Navy house huntingprocess smoother and less stressful for ourSailors and their families. By providing theearly housing application online, Sailors andtheir spouses can use HEAT to review housingand community information, and make aninformed decision on a home before receivingtheir permanent change of station (PCS) or-ders,” said Vice Adm. William French, Com-mander, Navy Installations Command.

HEAT utilizes authoritative systems to re-duce the amount of personal information andto steam line the online process. HEAT can besecurely accessed from any computer with aninternet connection. Service members ortheir spouses can use HEAT prior to receivingpermanent change of station (PCS) orders torequest information about community hous-ing or check on their eligibility for military andprivatized housing. They may also submitHEAT requests to multiple Installations if theyare not sure where they may be stationed next.

“Our goal with HEAT is to reach out toSailors early in the PCS process to reducestress and provide proactive support whenmoving from one duty station to another,”said CorkyVazquez, CNIC Housing ProgramManager. “With HEAT, Sailors and theirfamilies are able to make contact with ourNavy Housing Service Centers and Privati-zation Partners to discuss their housingneeds and learn about their housing op-tions at any time. HEAT makes it easy toconnect with our housing professionals andmake informed decisions before even hav-ing orders.”

HEAT will be deployed Navy-wide by NavyRegion according to the following schedule:

• Naval District Washington, Navy RegionMid-Atlantic and Navy Region Midwest beganMay 1,

• Navy Region Southwest began May 8,• Navy Region Southeast began May 15,• Navy Region Europe, Africa, Asia begin-

ning May 22,• Navy Region Hawaii beginning May 29,• Navy Region Japan, Navy Region Korea

and Singapore Area Coordinator beginningJune 8,

carriers, each with a standard displace-ment of around 20,000 tons, were built fol-lowing lessons learned that large carrierswere more operationally useful and tendedto survive longer (this survivability may haveplayed a role in that only one carrier was lostat Midway). They all had speeds of around32 knots, and ranges of 12,500 nautical miles.The Enterprise was the only vessel of thethree to survive the war and for its serviceearned 20 battle stars, the most of any vesselduring WWII.

Just as important as the carriers them-selves were the aircraft that they carried anddeployed. Probably the most notable ofthem (at least in number) were the DouglasSBD-3 "Dauntless" dive bombers, whichwere used extensively in attacks against theIJN fleet. The Dauntless bombers had amaximum speed of 222 knots, and whileslow and cumbersome at early stages of thewar, they became one of the most efficientand successful bombers in naval history.

Escorted by their Grumman F4F "Wild-cat" fighters, the Navy bombers utilized anew "Hellfire" bombing technique that gavethem an advantage over their Marine coun-

terparts. TheWildcats were notable in theirown right; even though they were less ma-neuverable and slower than their JapaneseMitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighter counterparts,they achieved nearly a 6-1 kill-to-loss ratio inair-to-air combat in 1942.

Of the Wildcats, British test pilot EricBrown said, "I would still assess the Wildcatas the outstanding naval fighter of the earlyyears ofWorldWar II ... I can vouch as a mat-ter of personal experience, this Grummanfighter was one of the finest shipboard aero-planes ever created."

However, even with all of the technologythat was in their hands, the Sailors at Midwayhad to rely on their training and skill first andforemost, as ships and planes are ultimatelyjust tools. These Sailors responded to theirneed in fine fashion, delivering the first ma-jor victory for the United States in the war.

The Battle of Midway is being commem-orated this year for its 70th anniversary.NDW will host the 70th anniversary of thehistoric Battle of Midway with a wreath lay-ing ceremony June 4, 2012 at 9 a.m. at theUnited States Navy Memorial in downtownWashington, D.C.

The Mother of all Battles:Saddam Hussein’s StrategicPlan for the Persian Gulf Warby Kevin M.Woods. The Offi-cial U.S. Joint Forces Com-mand Report published by theNaval Institute Press, 291Wood Road,Annapolis,Mary-land. 384 pages, 2008.

It is easy to be dismissiveof the losing side of any war,but that would be a tragicmistake. For no military his-tory is complete without tak-ing account of the adversary,with the support of the JointForces Command, the NavalInstitute has published theIraqi account of OperationDesert Storm. Rationalizingthe Iraqi decisions for theirdeployments and militarydecisions designed withinthe constraints of their polity,capability and psychology isimportant for America’s fu-ture military leaders. Part ofthe future of military educa-tion is not to create sympa-thy but empathy for an ad-versary and this requires animmersion in the documentsof our adversaries. KevinWoods and the Joint ForcesCommand have done a greatservice with their Iraqi Per-spectives Report. The bookbegins with an overview ofOperation Desert Storm lay-ing the overall political cli-mate that led to Iraq invad-ing Kuwait in August 1990.

The book contains manysurprises, such as clear Iraqireconnaissance photographsof Kuwaiti ministries andgovernment buildings per-haps the only successes ofthe Iraqi Air Force was its useof MIG-25s in the surveil-lance of Kuwait and the Sau-di border town of Khafji inSaudi Arabia. The utility ofreading Iraqi source docu-ments is getting into SaddamHussein’s deep psychologicaland allegorical frame ofmind. Saddam would beheavily influenced by theIran-Iraq War (1980-1988),and what he took from thatwas playing off the interna-tional community to gain anadvantage. Some of Sad-dam’s allegory is not rootedin any western military tradi-tion, but harkens back topre-Islamic Arabia where herefers to the Iranians as theSassanid Persians, the Unit-ed States as Christian Byzan-tium, Israel as the Byzantinevassal state of Abysinia andfinally as Iraq as pre-IslamicArabia or Mecca sandwichedbetween these great powers.These allegories require an

understanding of Arabiaboth at the time of ProphetMuhammad and beforearound 570 CE. A Saddamquote that you will ponder,“If you decide to fight yourenemy then you have tomake him look like the ag-gressor.”

Saddam’s conspiracy the-ories, regional jealousies andgrand strategy at the end wasreduced to money by 1990.Iraq’s war with Iran, depres-sion of oil prices, OPECs in-action, and seeing him loose$1 billion per year for every$1 decrease in the price of oilper barrel, led to Saddam’scalculus to first intimidateand then take over Kuwait. Aletter sent by Saddam to theEmir of Kuwait contained hisfinal demands, $2.4 billioncompensation for the dis-puted Rumailah Oil Field,$12 billion for Kuwait’s role indepressing oil prices, $10 bil-lion in debts to be forgiven,and a long lease on theKuwaiti island of Bubiyan.Impossible demands forKuwait to accept and theydismissed Saddam’s bluster.

Chapters reveal the mostintelligent historical analogyoffered by Saddam’s minis-ters was from his Minister ofHigher Education who com-pared Iraq’s seizure of Kuwaitto France’s retrieval of Al-sace-Lorraine after WorldWar I. Planning for the inva-sion of Kuwait was done ex-clusively by the Iraqi Repub-lican Guard and its Chief ofStaff General Aayad al-Rawi.This robbed Iraq of talentedplanners like the Army Chiefof Staff and Iran-Iraq heroGeneral Nizar al-Khazraji, healong with other servicechiefs were informed hoursbefore the invasion. GeneralRa’ad Hamdani, a brigadecommander in OperationIraqi Freedom, during Oper-ation Desert Storm, workedthe tactical solution of an ar-mored thrust 160 KM southtowards the southern tip ofKuwait City, his need for in-telligence was so great heplanned a covert operation

in which he dressed as a ser-geant under the guise ofpicking up supplies for hisplatoon to reconnoiter theKuwaiti port of Ahmadi. Itwas called off by his divisioncommander, and they werereduced to using dated mapsof 1: 100,000 scale, whathelped was aerial reconnais-sance of Kuwait City.

Iraq’s Chief of the Navywas informed 36 hours be-fore the invasion of Project17 (the plan to invadeKuwait) and was given themission of taking FaylakahIsland and assume tacticalcontrol of Kuwait’s navalbases. The main invasioncomprised of three separatedivision level thrusts intoKuwait. Despite the failure ofIraqi Air Units in providingair-ground support anddamaging Kuwaiti airfields,they did succeed not just inreconnaissance but its heli-copters did work relativelywell in moving Special Forcesunits.

Kuwaiti resistance tookadvantage of Iraq’s undisci-plined regular Army units,luring troops with alcoholand slaughtering them, orinto houses and killing them.Iraq’s Taha Ramadan was ap-pointed literally a minister incharge of looting Kuwait. Achapter focuses on how Iraqplanned to keep Kuwait, andamong the surprises was thequotation from a candidbook published by Iraqi Gen-eral Hazim Ayyubi entitled,“Forty-Three Missiles on theZionist Entity,” which detailsIraq’s SCUD missile prepara-tions that do back to 1988.This is a demonstration ofthe need to translate, analyzeand discuss Arabic books ofmilitary interest. The bookends with a chapter on Ummal-Maarik, (Mother of all Bat-tles), and Saddam derivingthe lesson from OperationDesert Storm that PresidentBush Sr., did not succeed be-cause he (Saddam) was notremoved from power. This isan important read in the cur-rent climate of attempting tounderstand the Arab way ofconventional and guerillawarfare.

Each year, first year medical students from the UniformedServices University of Health Sciences (USUHS) gather inSharpsburg, Md., for the Antietam Road March.

"This is an opportunity for students to learn the principlesof military medicine, and the foundations of where these in-novations came from," said Navy Lt. Brian Andrews-Shigaki,USUHS assistant professor of emergency medicine, who or-ganized this year's march. Students had originally participatedin a march through nearby Rock Creek Park to break in theirnew boots, but the event took on a deeper meaning when itwas moved to Antietam in the 1990s.

During the annual event, students walk a seven-mile routearound the park, volunteers dressed in period clothing demon-strate Civil War surgical procedures, and USUHS professorsdiscuss battle tactics and the logistics of military medicine.

"It all started here," explained Andrews-Shigaki. "As thestudents see this battlefield and hear about the experiences ofdoctors in the past, they gain a better understanding of whatthey are learning in school now."

The Battle of Antietam on Sept. 15, 1862, resulted in morethan 23,000 casualties, leaving approximately 4,000 dead. Itmarked the single bloodiest one-day battle in American his-tory, but many lives were saved thanks to changes implement-ed by Dr. Johnathan Letterman, a surgeon appointed as med-ical director of the Union army in June 1862.

Known as "The Father of Military Medicine," Lettermanwas the first to organize a system for the evacuation of wound-ed from the battlefield. He established mobile field hospitals,connected them by an efficient ambulance corps and imple-mented a system for the distribution of medical supplies.

KyleWichtendahl, director of interpretation and program-ming atThe Pry House Field Hospital Museum, said Antietammarked a turning point in the development of military medi-cine. "It's common sense today, but it was revolutionary at the

time - you can't re-supply a hospital you don't know is there,"explained Wichtendahl.

In addition to the logistical improvements introduced byLetterman, the Civil War brought about advances in first aidprocedures and surgical techniques.

"The CivilWar is considered to be the beginning of modernmilitary medicine," said Dr. John Rathgeb, a retired orthopedicsurgeon and volunteer with the National Museum of CivilWarMedicine. "Was it primitive?Yes. But theWright brothers didn'tfly a 747. They had to start somewhere."

Rathgeb explained to the student group that German andFrench surgeons were considered the best in the world in theearly 1800s, but by the conclusion of the Civil War, Americansurgeons were considered on par with their European coun-terparts. Rathgeb said patients continue to reap the benefitsof these advances nearly 150 years later.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician 1st Class ToddHammond, a wounded warrior and patient atWalter Reed Na-tional Military Medical Center, spoke to students about his ex-periences in the care of military doctors, and described howhis treatment compared to the care soldiers received duringthe Civil War. Hammond had his right leg amputated belowthe knee after he was severely injured by an improvised explo-sive device while serving in Afghanistan in 2011.

"A military doctor is not always in a hospital setting - theirpatients won't always be put on a table in front of them," saidHammond. "It's important that the students get a glimpse ofwhat goes on outside the hospital, out on the battlefield."

Seated on a bale of hay in a barn similar to those used asmakeshift hospitals during the CivilWar, Hammond describedhow he was treated and transported from Afghanistan to Ger-many, then brought to Walter Reed National Military MedicalCenter. He showed students his scars, and explained howtourniquets were used to reduce the bleeding from thewounds to his legs.

"Tourniquet theory has changed over time, but what theydid for me is actually quite similar to what they did back then,"explained Hammond.

"Nowadays we put them higher up on the limb withoutworrying about tissue damage, as we know there won't be asmuch time elapsing between injury and treatment in a hospi-tal," explained Hammond.

Hammond said he feels grateful to the military doctors fortheir service, and that this trip gave him a greater appreciationof the heritage of military medicine.

"Quite a few doctors who've worked on me are so skilledand talented and knowledgeable, they could go wherever theywanted. Any major trauma hospital in the country wouldsnatch them up in a heartbeat, but they're here atWalter Reedbecause they want to be here and work on wounded warriors,"said Hammond. "I feel lucky to have received such excellentcare."

Air Force 2nd Lt. Elizabeth Kim, a first-year medical studentat USUHS, said hearing descriptions of the conditions CivilWarsoldiers endured and learning about the logistics of battlefieldmedicine was both moving and enlightening.

"It shows how much we can learn from the past," said Kim.
