NDW to offer Motorcycle Safety courses

By Rear Adm.William LescherDeputy Assistant Secretaryof the Navy for Budget

Today the Department of the Navy sub-mitted our FY16 budget request of $161.0billion to Congress. Here’s what it meansfor the Navy.

In a challenging fiscal context, this re-quest provides the investment required forthe Navy and Marine Corps to execute the2014 Quadrennial Defense Review missionset, ranging from providing an effectivenuclear deterrent and fighting terrorism inorder to protect the Homeland, to provid-ing a stabilizing presence across the globe inorder to build security globally, to projectingpower and winning decisively when calledupon. The budget request reflects the Secre-tary of the Navy’s, Chief of Naval Operations’and Commandant of the Marine Corps’implementation of the strategic guidance.Across a spectrum of focused investments,hard choices, and innovation and reforminitiatives, the budget resources a dominantforward postured, sea-based force with bal-anced capacity, capability and readiness.

Focused InvestmentThe request sustains naval presence

and readiness worldwide, and continuesthe rebalance to the Pacific. Operationsand maintenance accounts are prioritizedto properly fund ship steaming days, flighthours, depot maintenance and base opera-

tions. Increases in public shipyard capacityand Aviation Depot throughput are fundedin order to address ship and aircraft main-tenance backlogs that have accrued froma decade-plus of high operational tempo.Overall, the Fleet readiness accounts arefocused on supporting a sustainable opera-

tional tempo; on properly maintaining shipsand aircraft to reach their expected servicelives; and on properly training our peopleand preparing them to deploy forward.

We prioritized stability in shipbuildingin order to affordably field the battle forcerequired by the strategy — buying nine newships in FY16. We continue the trend of buy-ing two destroyers and two Virginia-classsubmarines annually, and also request threeLittoral Combat Ships and the first next gen-eration logistics fleet resupply ship, the T-AO(X). We fully fund both the refueling forthe aircraft carrier USS George Washingtonand the procurement of a Dock LandingShip (LPD 28) that Congress provided par-tial funding for in the FY15 budget.

Military and Civilian end strength is ad-justed to support the force structure, sustain-ing improved military fit and fill rates as thefleet is projected to grow to 304 ships in 2020.

To support our commitment to a safe,modern and credible nuclear deterrent, weadd $2.2 billion across the next five yearsto the nuclear deterrent enterprise. Thisfunding supports the increased shipyard

In an ongoing effort to improve the training and readi-ness of its security personnel and first responders, WalterReed National Military Medical Center’s (WRNMMC) Emer-gency Management Team will be conducting Code White(active shooter) drills throughout February.

These drills are part of the medical center’s annual anti-terrorism force protection training.

According to Christopher C. Gillette, WRNMMC com-mand emergency manager, Code White is an emergencycode utilized by the medical center to notify its staff of anactive shooter incident, either on the installation or withinthe hospital.

He said the primary focus for these drills is to “ensure allstaff can be rapidly notified and immediately expedite theirarea-specific shelter-in-place plans.”

Melissa H. Knapp, Emergency Management Plans, Train-

ing, & Exercises program manager, WRNMMC, explainedthat during a drill, “upon notification of a Code White (ac-tive shooter), all patients and visitors will be told that we areconducting an exercise and will be escorted by staff to theirinterior spaces to shelter-in-place.”

Shelter-in-place procedures consist of clearing all pa-tient waiting areas, reception desks and hallways, closingand locking all doors, turning off lights, closing blinds andsilencing cell phones. “Basically, the hospital should lookempty,” said Knapp.

She continued “During a Code White (active shooter),staff and patients should shelter-in-place and remain hid-den until evacuated by law enforcement.”

The drills will be 15 minutes in duration and affect every-one in the hospital.

During the drills, staff will educate patients and visitorsregarding the purpose of the drill, inform them that the drillis being conducted to ensure their safety and security whilevisiting the hospital, and thank them for their participation,Knapp said.

“We realize that we also have a 24/7 patient care mission,thus during the drill, emergency movement will be permit-ted, services will continue, and all patient care/treatmentin progress will continue behind closed doors,” Gillette said

Sentries will be posted at all of the primary entrancesthroughout the hospital to provide information to incom-ing patients and visitors about the drill.

Medical center personnel should register for the AtHocwide area alert network if they have not already done so, asthis will keep them updated of force protection conditionsand other emergency, environmental, or exercise-relatedimpacts in the area.

Personnel at Naval Support Activity Bethesda and othercommands outside the medical center should register onthe EverBridge network system.

For more about the Code White (active shooter) exercis-es, medical center staff can access the Code White instruc-tion (WRNATMILMEDCENINST3020.02) on the intranetor look in their orange emergency procedures guidebooksposted throughout WRNMMC work spaces.

Four days after landing on Iwo Jima,an invasion where uncommon valorwas a common virtue, the UnitedStates flag is raised on Mt. Suribachi.

From DoD News, DefenseMedia Activity

The Justice Department announced Feb.9 that under its settlements with five of thenation’s largest mortgage servicers, 952 ser-vice members and their co-borrowers areeligible to receive more than $123 millionfor non-judicial foreclosures that violatedthe Service Members Civil Relief Act.

The five mortgage servicers are JP Mor-gan Chase Bank N.A.; Wells Fargo BankN.A. and Wells Fargo & Co.; Citi ResidentialLending Inc., Citibank, NA and CitiMortgageInc.; GMAC Mortgage, LLC, Ally FinancialInc. and Residential Capital LLC; and BACHome Loans Servicing LP formerly knownas Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP(Bank of America).

In the first round of payments under theSCRA portion of the 2012 settlement knownas the National Mortgage Settlement, 666service members and their co-borrowerswill receive more than $88 million from JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi and GMACMortgage. The other 286 service membersand their co-borrowers already have re-ceived more than $35 million from Bank ofAmerica through an earlier settlement. Thenon-judicial foreclosures at issue took placebetween Jan. 1, 2006, and Apr. 4, 2012.

*Unlawful Foreclosures*“These unlawful judicial foreclosures

forced hundreds of service members andtheir families out of their homes,” said Act-ing Associate Attorney General Stuart F.Delery. “While this compensation will pro-vide a measure of relief, the fact is that ser-vice members should never have to worryabout losing their home to an illegal foreclo-sure while they are serving our country. Thedepartment will continue to actively protectour service members and their families fromsuch unjust actions.”

“We are very pleased that the men and

women of the armed forces who were sub-jected to unlawful non-judicial foreclosureswhile they were serving our country are nowreceiving compensation,” said Acting Assis-tant Attorney General Vanita Gupta of theCivil Rights Division. “We look forward, inthe coming months, to facilitating the com-pensation of additional service memberswhowere subjected to unlawful judicial fore-closures or excess interest charges. We ap-preciate that JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo,Citi, GMAC Mortgage and Bank of Americahave been working cooperatively with theJustice Department to compensate the ser-vice members whose rights were violated.”

Section 533 of the SCRA prohibits non-judicial foreclosures against service mem-bers who are in military service or withinthe applicable post-service period, as longas they originated their mortgages beforetheir period of military service began. Evenin states that normally allow mortgageforeclosures to proceed non-judicially, theSCRA prohibits servicers from doing soagainst protected service members duringtheir military service and applicable post-military service coverage period.

Under the National Mortgage Settle-ment, for mortgages serviced by Wells Far-go, Citi and GMAC Mortgage, the identifiedservice members will each receive $125,000,plus any lost equity in the property and in-terest on that equity. Eligible co-borrowerswill also be compensated for their share ofany lost equity in the property.

To ensure consistency with an earlierprivate settlement, JP Morgan Chase willprovide any identified service member ei-ther the property free and clear of any debtor the cash equivalent of the full value of thehome at the time of sale, and the opportu-nity to submit a claim for compensation forany additional harm suffered, which will bedetermined by a special consultant, retiredU.S. District Court Judge Edward N. Cahn.

Payment amounts have been reduced

for those service members or co-borrowerswho have previously received compensa-tion directly from the servicer or through aprior settlement, such as the independentforeclosure review conducted by the Officeof the Comptroller of the Currency and theFederal Reserve Board. The Bank of Ameri-ca payments to identified service memberswith nonjudicial foreclosures were madeunder a 2011 settlement with the Depart-ment of Justice.

The NMS also provides compensation fortwo categories of service members:

- Those who were foreclosed upon pur-suant to a court order where the mortgageservicer failed to file a proper affidavit withthe court stating whether or not the servicemember was in military service; and

- Those servicemembers who gave propernotice to the servicer, but were denied the fullbenefit of the SCRA’s 6% interest rate cap on

pre-service mortgages. The service membersentitled to compensation for these allegedviolations will be identified later in 2015.

Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2015 began Feb. 2 across theNavy, including at Naval Support Facilities Dahlgren andIndian Head and officially wraps up today.

“Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is U.S. Fleet Forces’ di-rected exercise and annual capstone antiterrorism eventdesigned to evaluate Navy antiterrorism plans,” said EdPatuga, NSASP training officer. The annual exercise washighlighted by an active shooter scenario Wednesday atBldg. 1700.

Culinary Specialist 3rd Class Jessica Maffett of NavalSupport Activity South Potomac (NSASP) portrayed the ac-tive shooter, roaming about Bldg. 1700 looking for potentialvictims while first responders such as NSASP police, fire-fighters, and emergency services personnel worked to ap-prehend her, tend to victims and subdue the situation.

“The purpose of the active shooter/IED (ImprovisedExplosive Devices)/mass casualty exercise is to evaluateNSASP’s ability to respond to and recover from such anevent,” Patuga said. “It is also designed to evaluate NavyAir and Missile Defense Command’s (NAMDC) emergencyaction and response plan.”

Patuga said NAMDC has been a great partner and pro-vided NSASP outstanding support in meeting their re-quirements.

“By investing valuable time and resources, NAMDC wasable to test its emergency plan and at the same time pro-vide its workforce and building occupants with guidanceon how to prepare for and respond to active shooter crisissituations,” Patuga said.

NSA South Potomac’s command staff and mission ar-eas, including police, firefighters, emergency medical per-sonnel, public affairs office, and fleet and family readinessworked together to bring to bear the installation’s full ca-pability and resources to save lives and protect property,according to Patuga.

“King George, Colonial Beach, and Charles Counties’fire/emergency medical personnel participation providedthe opportunity to exercise mutual aid agreements with ourneighboring communities,” Patuga said. “The EOD (Explo-sive Ordinance Disposal) Detachment provided the tech-nical expertise in responding to the simulated IED threat.NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) provided infor-mation and awareness of what could be expected shouldsuch an event occur within the NSA South Potomac fencelines. Branch Medical Clinic Dahlgren and the casualties’role players enhanced the realism and training experienceof exercise participants through application of moulagesimulations for injuries.”

Although the exercise was designed to provide invalu-able scenario-based training, AT exercises are also craftedcarefully to deter the possibility of serious injury.

“Safety is paramount and has always been an integralpart of planning and conducting an integrated exercise atNSA South Potomac,” said Patuga. “The drill package andscenario events list were safely vetted using the operationalrisk management (ORM) matrix.”

Numerous public announcements were made to ensure awareness of the exercise’s possible impact to normal baseoperations and neighboring Virginia and Maryland com-munities.

“Mitigations were put in place to reduce the risk of unin-tended consequences to building occupants such as traumacaused by (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) PTSD reaction,other health conditions, and sensitivity to such an event,”said Patuga. “The event was also well coordinated at theregional level. The training teamwas fully aware that safetywas everybody’s responsibility. Safety officers were at thescene during the exercise.”

Patuga also said the exercise was Naval District Washing-ton’s capstone event and one of the capstone events acrossfive Navy regions.

“Being the capstone installation, NSASP had more re-quirements to meet than the other installations withinNDW,” Patuga said. He added that the NCIS Security Train-ing and Assessment Team (STAAT) were onboard to evalu-ate the security force response procedures.

“Conducting the exercise was a great opportunity as al-ways to train for and continuously improve to provide thebest response possible,” Patuga said.

Hard ChoicesThis fiscal environment requires each of the Services to

make hard choices in prioritizing their budget, examiningevery account to maximize the use of resources. In FY16 weare able to increase our aircraft inventory by 36 from ourFY15 plan, reflecting the restoral of 29 MH-60R helicoptersassociated with restoral of the USS George Washington re-fueling/overhaul and the tenth Air Wing, as well as the addi-tion of two F-35Cs; however, over the next five years, we willexperience a decrease of 16 F-35Cs, two E-2Ds, and nineRQ-21’s from the prior plan. We will also reduce our weap-ons inventory by 1,000 in order to align fielding profiles withupdated aircraft integration timelines, and to focus funding

on future capabilities given overall fiscal constraints.This budget funds our most pressing MILCON needs

in FY16 with 60 construction projects (38 Navy, 22 USMC)spanning key quality of life initiatives, such as unaccompa-nied housing in Patuxent River, Maryland, and supportingintroduction of new weapon systems, such as Training Fa-cilities and Hangar modifications to accommodate F-35’s atNAS Lemoore and P-8 support facilities at NAS Jacksonville,NAS Sigonella and Joint Base Pearl Harbor.

Reform and InnovationWe continue to drive innovation and reform practices to

ensure long-term success. The Optimized Fleet ResponsePlan (OFRP) is a key element of that approach, facilitatingrecovery of the material readiness of the force, protectingthe time required to properly train our Sailors, deliveringsustainable global presence for the COCOMs while bring-ing deployment lengths down over time, and providing thecapacity to surge combat power in a contingency.

This year’s submission also includes $17.9 billion for re-search and development, reflecting the emphasis on devel-oping key capabilities for the future. This funding supports

ourNavy-Marine Corps teamby providing technological ad-vantages against adversaries in all environments and spec-trums. The budget also funds eight Energy Resilience proj-ects that upgrade aging utilities infrastructure to increaseresiliency and support continuity of operations. Examplesinclude electrical repairs to piers and improved waterfrontutilities. Beyond these eight projects, the Department con-tinues to lead with broader energy initiatives spanning gasturbine efficiency; aviation fuel conservation; and hybridelectric drive technology.

The FY16 budget strikes the right balance between sus-taining our forces today and laying the groundwork forfuture advantage. Across the full scope of the request, wemaintained a strong focus on maximizing the value of re-sources invested and on sustaining our war fighting advan-tage today and into the future. This budget sustains today’sNavy andMarine Corps legacy as America’s first respondersin a complex and dangerous security environment.
