New York Guard Civil Support Team Trains Aboard Ship

 

By Maj. Jean Kratzer, New York National Guard

ALBANY, N.Y. - Twenty-one Soldiers and Airmen assigned to the New York National Guard’s 2nd Civil Support Team tested their ability to detect weapons of mass destruction aboard a World War II destroyer docked in downtown Albany.

During the March 28 exercise, three teams of two to three personnel used detection equipment to find and mark radioactive material. Other teams then removed the radioactive material and decontaminated the area.

Members of the New York National Guard’s two Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams identify and mitigate chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive substances.

“Each year, the CST finds different training sites to challenge its survey teams, which specialize in detection, identification and sample collections in contaminated areas,“ said Army Lt. Col. John Giroux, the commander of the 2nd CST.

The teams search and identify radiation sources in unfamiliar environments within confined spaces.

“This year’s training consisted of classroom instructions on topics like basic radiation and then culminated with training that focused on radiological concepts before the survey teams tried to search and identify radiation sources,” Giroux said.

The hands-on training took place aboard the USS Slater, a 306-foot destroyer that escorted convoys across the Atlantic. The ship has been a museum ship docked in the Hudson River in Albany since 1997.

“This unique training site allowed us to test the capabilities and problem-solving skills of our team members who are training at the operational and communication level,” Giroux said.

During the destroyer exercise, the team successfully reconfigured communications and equipment and conducted a hazardous assessment around the entire site, Giroux said.

“We are privileged to receive world-class instruction and coaching from the Department of Energy Radiation Assistance Program and the New York State Police and are especially grateful to the USS Slater staff for their partnership and support, without whom our success today could not have been possible,” Giroux said.

“This training was a great opportunity for our team to learn from the subject matter experts while also exercising our capabilities and strengthening our relationships with our partner agencies,“ said Capt. Ryan Gonch, the operations officer for the 2nd CST.

The 2nd CST, headquartered at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, is responsible for central, upstate and western New York.

The 24th CST, based at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn, is responsible for missions in New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley.

The teams have equipment that local civilian agencies lack, such as a mobile lab that enables members to analyze and identify chemicals and substances on location, Gonch said.

The 2nd CST team tracked down and discovered the radioactive material hidden on the destroyer. Hazardous material teams from the FBI and New York State Police also participated in the exercise, which was facilitated by scientists from the Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Tim Rizzuto, the executive director of the Slater, said he was happy the historic ship could accommodate the training.

“We enjoy working with the National Guard and law enforcement when they reach out to us and being able to provide a site for them to train,” Rizzuto said.

NASHVILLE — On Tuesday, the Nashville Sounds had their first home game of the season against the St. Paul Saints with a special event honoring Staff Sgt. Cole Lukens and Spc. Noah Green, the Tennessee National Guard’s Non-Commissioned Officer and Soldier of the Year.

Green, a combat engineer with the 890th Sapper Company and Maryville firefighter, took center stage on the pitcher’s mound and threw the first pitch to the Sounds’ mascot, Booster. After the pitch, Tennessee’s Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Warner Ross, praised the Soldiers for their achievements and service as the crowd cheered.

“We are very proud of these Tennessee Guardsmen,” said Ross. “Their hard work and commitment reflect the very best of our organization and they represent everything that is right about our great state.”

Following the ceremony, Lukens and Green joined the crowd to watch the remainder of the game alongside their fellow soldiers and fans.

“It was an honor to throw the first pitch and represent my fellow Guardsmen tonight,” said Green. “I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase our organization before the game and for being a part of this amazing event.”

Lukens and Green will represent Tennessee in the upcoming Region 3 Best Warrior Competition, on April 14, competing against top contenders from the southeastern United States, including the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The Region III winners will then compete in the national competition against representatives from all 54 states and territories in July.

Wake Island recovering from flood

The powerful waves at Wake Island hit the lagoon-side dormitories hardest, causing extensive infrastructure and personal property damage.

Story by Tommie Baker 
Alaskan NORAD Region/Alaskan Command/11th Air Force  

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- Following a series of inundations from high waves, the U.S. territory of Wake Island is recovering and planning for the future. In the early morning of January 19, following a high surf warning, an inspection of one of the taxiways revealed flooding, causing a partial closure of the airfield. At that time, local personnel had no reason to believe there would be further impacts.

Wake Island is the inhabited island of a three-island atoll which also includes Peale Island and Wilkes Island. Wake Atoll was the site of an early battle during World War II, resulting in an ever-present risk for uncovering unexploded ordinance – made worse during storm events. The island is managed by the Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center, located at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, and serves three primary mission sets: refueling and en route support along the Pacific air bridge, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) civilian divert airfield, and bed down support to USINDOPACOM, USSPACECOM, the Missile Defense Agency, and other mission partners.

Over the course of the next few days, Wake Island was hit with a series of powerful wave overruns causing extensive flooding and damages. More than 80 of the 125 on-island personnel had to be relocated as dormitories were flooded, alternate means of dining were arranged as the dining hall was flooded, and the work schedules were altered. The contingent of Air Force personnel comprising PRSC Detachment 1, responsible for managing daily operations and aligning efforts, took the lead in disaster response and recovery efforts.

“Ensuring that basic needs were met safely, with care and dignity, was our top priority, along with assessing damages and restoring basic services,” said Maj. Kalyn Howard, PRSC Det 1 commander.

“Recovery and restoration could take months, possibly years, to complete. Many of the dorms are uninhabitable and must be assessed as to whether they can be repaired or may need to be replaced,” said Col. Breanna Fulton, PRSC commander. “The workforce on the island is diligently working to get things back to normal. Considering the limited assets on the island and the logistics of support, I am proud of our team there. The PRSC’s 611th Civil Engineer Squadron is forging ahead with plans to enhance Wake Island’s infrastructure. Our people are resilient, and the island remains strong to carry out the United States national defense mission.”

Also affected by the series of weather-driven waves was Roi-Namur, the second-largest island of the Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll supports the U.S. Space and Missile Defense Command’s Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site. The test site serves as a space and missile defense test range for the Department of Defense.

USAG–KA personnel evacuated 80 of the approximately 120 personnel who call Roi-Namur home. Sixty people remained to assess damage and restore basic services while continuing the water and fuel runs that sustain the island of Enniburr, the island south of Roi-Namur where the Marshallese workforce resides.

Wake Island Atoll provides USINDOPACOM and PACAF the ability to project U.S. power across the Pacific, enabling the trans-Pacific air bridge, joint missile launch operations, and remote basing strategies to deter regional threats and secure the Indo-Pacific theater. Kwajalein Atoll serves as a strategic location in the Pacific providing installation support services and strategic integration enabling joint, multi-national, and multi-domain mission partners.
