GARRISON CHRISTENS NEW B-BOATSThe U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll community chris-tened two brand-new recreational B-boats into service last week. Commander Col. James DeOre Jr. and Command Sgt. Maj. Angela Rawlings had the honor of splashing down the 23-foot-long Cobia 237s with bubbly before taking the boats on their maiden voyages in the lagoon Thursday, Aug. 24. The boats are the first two of 10 set to arrive in the coming months.

In a short speech at the Kwajalein Small Boat marina, Chief War-rant Officer 3 Dave Casbarra told a crowd sheltering from a searing early-afternoon that the gods of the ocean would be pleased with the garrison’s show of respect Thursday.

“It was widely believed that a Roman king of the sea, Neptune, and a Greek ruler of the sea, Poseidon, lived on the floor of the ocean in palaces,” Casbarra told the crowd. “These gods of the sea would assure safe passage over the Seven Seas to all sailors that followed their doctrine and respected their protocols.”

The B-boats are unlikely to transit any of the Seven Seas. But they are sure to make a substantial impact on the quality of life of Kwa-jalein and Roi-Namur residents, many of whom enjoy fishing, scuba diving and float trips.

While the K80 “StanLove” vessel will remain at Kwajalein, the R82 “Jim Bennett” headed to Roi-Namur this week.

In a short speech, the colonel said that naming the boats after late USAG-KA residents, Stan Edwards and Jim Bennett, was a fit-ting tribute to honor their legacies.

“We do this in memory of our beloved friends, Jim Bennett and Stan Edwards, two cherished members of our family, who each in his own way looked over their friends and families and over the greater Kwajalein Atoll community,” DeOre Jr. said. “It is fitting that these two men are remembered in this fashion.”

boats with twin Yamaha 115 engines will arrive for recre-ational use on Kwajalein and Roi-Namur in the upcoming months. The boats will be shipped as they are completed. Both boats christened in the Aug. 24 ceremony will be in service for Labor Day weekend.

• Let It Glow. If you see a street light or other Public Works issue around the island, please help us resolve the issue by reporting it to the Facilities Help Desk at 53550.

• Look Out For Kids. The back to school season means more young cyclists make regular commutes on major thoroughfares. All vehicle operators and travelers should exercise caution on the roads and adhere to all traffic stops and school crossing areas.

• Think and Drive. Quality of Life's new rules were updat-ed in August and published in the Hourglass. To ensure a safe and smooth rental, drivers should check out the new regulations to see what's changed.

• Walk, Don't Ride. Marine Road is closed 24-7 to bike and vehicle traffic to accommodate Marine Department opera-tions. However, a foot path through this area is available to pedestrians. Thank you in advance for walking your bike.

FOOD NEWS• The New Guy. Congratulations to Derrick Lemmie, our

new Surfway manager. • Slices. Antony’s Pizza will continue to operate with sup-

plies out of Korea. In a prior An AFFES update, it was an-nounced that Dominos will not be coming to Kwaj.

• Chowtime Chatter. The council addressed concerns re-garding Zamperini Dining Facility. In particular, why full meal privileges are not extended to all fulltime contract island staff and the reactions of ZDF patrons toward serv-ing staff in the wake of the dining hall’s menu and serving changes. Those changes have been publicized in previous issues of the Kwajalein Hourglass. Any questions regard-ing dining privileges should be addressed to KRS Human Resources. Those who have questions regarding dining ser-vices are welcome to address them to a ZDF shift manager.

US, ALLIES CONDUCT AERIAL LAUNCH IN RESPONSE TO NORTH KOREAN MISSILE LAUNCHPacific Air Forces news release

CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii, Aug. 31, 2017—The United States’ newest and most advanced fighter, the Marine Corps’ F-35B Lightning II, joined U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers for the first time in a sequenced bilateral mission with Japan and South Korean air forces in Northeast Asia yesterday, according to a Pacific Air Forces news release.

Two B-1Bs from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam; four U.S. Marine F-35Bs from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan; two Japan Air Self-Defense Force Koku Jieitai F-2s; and four South Korean air force F-15Ks executed this mission to emphasize the combined ironclad com-mitment to the defense of allies and the U.S. homeland. Enhancing combined mil-itary readiness through integrated mis-sions ensures national leaders of viable and ready military options.

This mission was conducted in direct response to North Korea’s intermediate-range ballistic missile launch, which flew directly over northern Japan on August 28 amid rising tension over North Ko-rea’s nuclear and ballistic missile devel-opment programs.North Korean Threat

"North Korea's actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland, and their destabilizing actions will be met ac-cordingly,” said Air Force Gen. Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, commander, U.S. Pacific Air Forces, who just returned from an unscheduled visit to Japan to meet with his counterparts.

“This complex mission clearly demon-strates our solidarity with our Allies and underscores the broadening cooperation

to defend against this common regional threat,” O’Shaughnessy added. “Our for-ward-deployed force will be the first to the fight, ready to deliver a lethal response at a moment’s notice if our nation calls."

Over the course of the 10-hour mis-sion, the F-35Bs, B-1B bombers and Koku Jieitai fighters flew together over waters near Kyushu, Japan. The U.S. and South Korean aircraft then flew across the Korean Peninsula and practiced at-tack capabilities by releasing live weap-ons at the Pilsung Range training area before returning to their respective home stations.

"The F-35 embodies our commitment

to our allies and contributes to the over-all security and stability of the Indo-Asia Pacific region," said Marine Corps Lt. Gen. David H. Berger, commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Pacific. "By forward basing the F-35, the most advanced air-craft in the world, here in the Pacific, we are enabling the Marine Corps to re-spond quickly during a crisis in support of Japan, the Republic of Korea, and all our regional partners."

U.S. Pacific Command maintains stra-tegic bomber and fighter capabilities in the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater, retaining the ability to respond to any regional threat at a moment’s notice.

Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighters assigned to the Marine Corps Air Sta-tion Iwakuni, Japan, fly alongside two Air Force B-1B Lancers assigned to the 37th Ex-peditionary Bomb Squadron, deployed from Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, over waters near Kyushu, Japan, August 30, 2017. The F-35Bs and B-1Bs made contact with two Japan Air Self-Defense Force Koku Jieitai F-15J fighters in Japanese airspace in direct response to North Korea’s intermediate range ballistic missile launch, which flew directly over northern Japan on Aug. 28, 2017, amid rising tension over North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile development programs.

Tony deBrum, one of the Republic of the Marshall Islands’ most revered dip-lomats passed away Tuesday, Aug. 22 in Majuro. He was 72. Mr. deBrum, who served most recently as the nation’s minister of foreign affairs until 2016, made it his life’s work to counter the development and proliferation of nuclear weapons. In his later years, climate change—particularly its impacts on small island na-tions like the RMI—became a top concern of his. He was an integral part of the in-ternational community’s negotiations in creating the recent Paris climate accord. In recognition of his continual fight against nuclear weapons and climate change, the International Peace Bureau nominated Mr. deBrum for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. As one of the senators for Kwajalein Atoll, deBrum advanced U.S. and RMI relations through his work with the Joint Committee Meetings, Joint Labor Rela-tions Board and the Community Relations Councils. His commitment and dedica-tion to ensuring good relations with this garrison reflected his commitment to his constituents and the people of the Marshall Islands.

Mattlan Zackhras died Tuesday, Aug. 8. In addition to representing Namdrik Atoll in the Nitijela since January 2004, he served as President Heine's Minister in Assistance since January 2016, a position roughly equivalent to vice president. Zackhras was a key player in gaining grants, advancing development and gaining international recognition for Marshallese challenges. In doing so, he was recog-nized twice by the United Nations Development Program, winning an award for the UNDP’s Equator Initiative. At the local level, he was instrumental in expanding copra production, coconut oil production and black lip pearl oyster growing with a view to the long-term. He played an important role in implementing the Nauru Agreement concerning cooperation in the management of fisheries of common interest—an eight-nation agreement whose signatories control approximately 25 percent of the world's tuna supply.

Minister Zackhras' and Ambassador deBrum's legacies go far beyond the islands. They dedicated their lives to advancing RMI interests in the region and the world, and their dedication will benefit the RMI for generations to come.

SMDC HISTORY: SYSTEMS DEFINITION STUDIES ENNKBy Sharon Watkins LangUSASMDC/ARSTRAT Historical Office

In the 1970s, missile defense technology was still based primarily upon nuclear capabilities. As the decade progressed, however, as research explored compo-nent improvements and new applications increased interest was given to a new concept - non-nuclear kill technology.

As one text noted, there were "obvi-ous advantages" to an endo-atmospheric non-nuclear kill, or ENNK system, to in-clude "greater public acceptance, avoid-ance of nuclear release requirements, more sitting and handling flexibility, and the ability to be thoroughly tested." By fiscal year 1982, the concept had reached a new level.

From November 1981 to January 1982, the Systems Definition Office of the Bal-listic Missile Defense Systems Command, or BMDSCOM, conducted a study to as-sess the status of ENNK technology to replace or augment the Sentry system. A study team composed of representatives from 24 groups, developed top-level sys-tem requirements in a feasibility mode for ENNK technology.

Meanwhile a separate team pursued an "intensive analysis investigating al-ternate basing plans for the MX missile system."

Both study teams produced positive resultS—an ENNK system was feasible against a worst case threat. Briefed to senior leaders of the Army, the results gained the attention of John Gardner, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and James Ambrose, Under Secretary of the Army. This interest in turn led to the es-tablishment, on July 6, 1982, of a new ENNK Task Force.

The mission for this new task force was three-fold. The ENNK Task Force was to "define the ENNK capability to perform key defense missions." While the initial studies had focused upon Minuteman/MX defenses, with the creation of the ENNK Task Force, the mission grew to include Anti-tactical Ballistic Missiles and "other military targets" defenses.

With this foundation, the ENNK Task Force was to "determine top-level sys-tem performance parameters; develop ENNK system concepts; and formulate specific technology requirements."

In the same Disposition Form which established the six-person Task Force, Maj. Gen. Grayson Tate, Jr., BMD Program Manager and BMDSCOM commander, named Walter L. Dixon, Jr. to head the new unit as a special assistant to the BMD Program Manager. Dixon and his team, three employees each from the BMD Advanced Technology Center, or BMDATC, and the Systems Technology Program Office, addressed all aspects of ENNK development.

The DF was quite specific, Dixon was the "single BMDO focal point and spokes-man for ENNK system-level matters."

In fact, he would represent the BMD Program Manager in meetings, confer-ences, etc. with key personnel from De-partment of the Army, Department of Defense, other agencies and contractor organizations.

Also given the constrained funding. Dixon's duties further extended to pro-curement actions. In fact, Dixon and the Task Force would review and coordinate ENNK procurement actions initiated ei-

ther within BMDSCOM or BMDATC. They also "[maintained] concurrence author-ity over changes in resource allocations from the baseline ENNK program."

As the primary point of contact for ENNK matters, Dixon and his team were also tasked to "review work in progress to assure compliance with policy, proce-dures, etc., and fulfillment of the BMDO ENNK objectives;" advising the BMD program manager of any changes need-ed due to advances in ENNK technology or system requirements.

By the end of the fiscal year, the pre-liminary system requirements for Min-uteman ENNK were nearing comple-tion. Requirements for the MX project, however, depended upon the Air Force deployment mode selection. After three months research to support advanced tactical ballistic missile and other mili-tary targets, meanwhile, was described as an embryonic stage.

Nevertheless, the ENNK Task Force was short-lived. Their efforts were insti-tutionalized with the development of the ENNK Division within the Sentry Project Office, effective Oct. 7, 1982.

In a DF issued by BMDSCOM Command-er Col. Robert Feist, the ENNK division would "develop ENNK system concepts and requirements for defense of ICBM's and other military targets" with particular emphasis placed on the SENTRY project.

WEEKLY WEATHER OUTLOOKWEATHER DISCUSSION: After a very active few days ear-lier this week, Kwajalein Atoll will experience a much less active weather pattern over the first part of this week. Fore-cast models are currently showing a chaotic and very light low-level wind field, which should have trouble producing significant shower activity. Expect variable and light winds through this weekend and into the early part of next week.

Winds are expected to increase some time on Tuesday or Wednesday, which will cause some increased low-level con-vergence and increased shower activity. While showers may increase, there doesn’t appear to be much, if any, lightning threat due to an unsupportive upper-level pattern.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY/MONDAY FORECAST: Stray to iso-lated showers throughout the weekend, with brief peaks in shower activity overnight each night. Winds will be variable and very light, at around 3-8 knots.

MID-WEEK FORECAST: Expect increasing showers early in the week with increased northeasterly winds, before show-ers begin to drop off mid-week.
