NATICK,Mass. – If you can’tsee it, you can’t attack it.Since the conflicts of the 18th

century, that’s been the thinkingbehind military camouflage.Today, when it’s applied to theiruniforms, it can save Soldierslives. That fact has driven theArmy’s decades-long efforts toimprove its camouflage patterns.The next step toward greater

Soldier protection comes July 1,when the Army begins to makethe Operational CamouflagePattern available for the ArmyCombat Uniform in selectmilitary clothing sales stores. Thepattern will replace the currentUniversal Camouflage Pattern.The UCP has been used for thepast decade.The transition period for the

pattern will extend from July 1,2015, to Sept. 30, 2019. The entireArmy will be in the OperationalCamouflage Pattern by Oct. 1,2019. New Soldiers will receiveACUs with the pattern beginningin January 2016.The Operational Camouflage

Anew project is underway to reduce energyusage in Conmy Hall on the Fort Myerportion of Joint BaseMyer-HendersonHall.More than 300 light fixtures in Conmy

Hall are being converted to lower-wattageLED lights in an effort to reduce energyuse by more than 60 percent, according toBill Lucas, energy manager at JBM-HH’sDirectorate of Public Works.The house lights, hallway lights and

aisle lights will all be replaced, Lucassaid. The larger theatrical lights used

during ceremonies and performances willremain untouched.“We’re always trying to achieve more

energy efficiency, and LED technology isa no-brainer now,” he said.According to Lucas, the old 500-watt bulbs

were inefficient and unreliable, requiringregular change-outs and maintenance.The new LED bulbs will be between 40

and 130 watts and have a life expectancyof between five to 10 years.“The old lightbulbs were always failing

and expensive to replace,” Lucas said.

New Conmy Hall lights willsave JBM-HH thousands

Read-along

From the editor’s desk: So why’s it called ‘Pentagram,’ anyway?

What’s in a name?For a newspaper, everything: That

large, bold banner bearing the newspa-per’s name is often the most noticeableportion of a newspaper, serving as bothan attention grabber for potential readersand as a familiar, distinguishable char-acteristic to repeat readers.For the Pentagram, our publication’s

name is more than a banner—it is areflection of more than 60 years’ worthof news reporting, documenting everydaylife and significant happenings in theMilitary District of Washington begin-ning just after World War II, spanningthrough the Korean and Cold Wars topresent day.Originally published in 1949 as The

Fort Myer Post, the newspaper servedthose who worked at or lived on anyinstallation within theMilitary Districtof Washington, according to a lookat Pentagram archives. This paperwas published in Arlington, Va., andbilled as an “independent newspaper”that was “published by D.J. Arone, aprivate individual, in no way connectedwith the Department of the Army,”according to one of the earliest editionspublished in January 1957. This was thetrue precursor to today’s Pentagramnewspaper as it was published by acivilian contractor at no cost to readers;the advertising in today’s Pentagramsimilarly covers production costs. Thatmeans the paper is produced at no costto the U.S. Government.Later, the paper branched into two

papers. TheMDWPost, a monthly thatran from 1971 to at least 1975 (officialarchives of the paper from 1976 to 1983are not available), replaced The Fort

Myer Post because of both a change inleadership and “in accordance with theconsolidation of theMilitary District ofWashington,” according to an editorialnote on the inside of the Jan. 26, 1971,edition of The Fort Myer Post.Additionally, a second publication

began publishing just a few years behindThe Fort Myer Post: The PentagramNews. The paper was later publishedweekly every Thursday by anotherprivate entity, The Premier PublishingCompany. The paper cost 5 cents perissue in 1957.In 1983, the word “news” was dropped

from the title, and the rest is history.But what exactly does the word

“Pentagram” mean? This is a questionwe get now and then, so it is fittingto provide an answer. According toa mission statement document, thename is derived from the Greek word“Pente,” meaning “five,” in referenceto the Pentagon. The word “gram” is

from the ancient Greek suffix “gramma,”meaning something written, drawn orotherwise noted.Today we have a weekly circulation

of 24,000, which includes the NationalCapital Region and the Pentagon. Alsonotable is the fact that we are a “joint”publication, serving the communitiesof all three portions of JBM-HH: FortMyer, Fort McNair and HendersonHall, since 2009.For those who were curious as to the

history of the Pentagram, I hope this hashelped shed a bit of light on the topic.The Pentagram is truly a historic and

unique newspaper serving a historic andunique geographical region nestled nextto the nation’s capital. But don’t takemy word for it. See for yourself: You canreview old copies of the Pentagram aswell as its forerunners at the JBM-HHLibrary. The library contains boundarchives of most issues dating back to1949. The library is located in room 120

in Bldg. 417 at the Fort Myer portion ofJBM-HH. The library is open Sundaysfrom noon to 5 p.m.; Monday throughThursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is closedFridays and Saturdays.While we certainly have no plans

on changing our name, we are alwaysseeking ways to evolve the paper to meetthe information needs of our readership.As always, I encourage you – our readers– to tell us what you think about today’spaper: Are we publishing what you liketo read? What news or information arewe not publishing that you would liketo see in print? Is there something wecan do better? And of course we relishlearning about what we are doing right,too. So, if there is a particular type ofstory or portion of the newspaper thatyou enjoy and would simply like to seemore of, let us know. Feel free to reachme at: [email protected].

NEWSPAPER COURTESY OF KIM HOLIEN

The Pentagram News, one of several newspapers that were precursors to today’s Pentagram, was billed as an “indepen-dent newspaper” and published weekly from 1949 to 1971 before being replaced by the MDW Post. Today’s Pentagramname is derived from two Greek words: “Pente,” meaning “five,” and “Gramma,” meaning something written, drawn orotherwise noted.

He joinedthe Marine Corps in 1989 andcomes to Henderson Hall from1st Battalion, 2ndMarines, CampLejeune, N.C., where themajorityof Marines who served underhim were in the junior enlistedranks. In contrast, Pullen said themajority of Marines assigned toH&S Battalion are staff noncom-missioned officers and officers.“I’ve got about 250 NCOs,

corporals and below and 40 lancecorporals and below,” he said.“One of the biggest things that Iwant to do is ensure that we havea strong staff NCO corps andnoncommissioned corps and thatthe youngMarines are getting thecare andmaintenance they need.”

Among the things that makeH&S unique in theMarine Corpsis its administrative mission,said Pullen.“The battalion, we’re not

here to deploy,” he explained.“We’re here to provide serviceand support to the Marines ofthe battalion and the joint base.”And, the support the battalion

provides is an integral part ofkeeping the Marines it servesmission ready, Pullen said.“As long as we can support

everybody, I feel that’s our tie-into success,” he said.Pullen said he is especially

concerned about the Marineswho are assigned to the bat-talion as privates or privates firstclass as their first tour of dutyin the Corps.“They leave in three years,

feedback about theUCP, the Army in 2010began providing theOperat ion Endur ingFreedom Camouf lagePattern, or OEFCP, toSoldiers deploying toAfghanistan. During thisperiod, the Natick SoldierResearch, Developmentand Engineering Centeralso began developingthe pattern that was laternamed the OperationalCamouflage Pattern.T he Ope r a t i on a l

Camouflage Pattern testingand evaluation effort hasbeen described as themost comprehensive ever

conducted by the Army.Different camouf lagepatterns were evaluated foreffectiveness in differentoperating environmentswith varied terrain, veg-etat ion, seasons andtimes of day.The latest version of

the ACU will come in theOperational CamouflagePattern and will also incor-porate changes resultingfrom Soldier feedback.These include modifica-tions to the collar, pockets,knee and elbow patches andtrouser waistband. Insteadof the current sand color, theOperational CamouflagePattern will be worn witha tan 499 T-shirt and beltand coyote brown boots.The introduction of

the ACU in OperationalCamouf lage Pattern isbeing phased in to reducethe cost to both Soldiers andthe U.S. taxpayer. During

this four-year period,Soldiers will also be per-mitted to wear uniformsand equipment in OEFCP.The phase-in allows

Soldiers to use their annualuniform replacement allow-ances to gradually replacecurrent uniforms as theywear out. It also allows theArmy to use existing stocksof uniforms and other cam-ouflage-printed gear, suchas backpacks.The change is viewed as

fiscally responsible. TheOperational CamouflagePattern ACU is expectedto have a similar cost tothe UCP ACU.“All enlisted Soldiers

receive an annual stipendfor the purchase of uniformsand accessories,” said Sgt.Maj. of the Army DanielDailey. “I myself willwait until I am issued myclothing allowance beforepurchasing a uniform

with the OperationalCamouflage Pattern.“I encourage all Soldiers

and leaders to do the sameby budgeting for a newuniform, belt, boots andT-shirts as you receive yourclothing allowance over thenext two to three years.”During the transition

period, Soldiers may mixand match items witheither the OEFCP or theOperational CamouflagePattern. They can also wearOEFCP Flame ResistantACUs during that time.“Presenting a profes-

sional appearance is veryimportant to Soldiers, butwe will not inconvenience orburden our troops,” Daileysaid. “We will still be themost lethal fighting forcethe world has ever known,even if our belts don’t matchfor the next few years.”

The plan began this fiscal year witha campaign period of seven years,but as a strategy, looks out as far as2025, she said. It provides strategicguidance to IMCOM as a wholeby identifying three lines of effort,including a Professional InstallationManagement Workforce, EffectiveBase Operations Support Servicesand Infrastructure Sustainment andRevitalization.“Within each LOE, we have to

create a communications strategy ofhow we’re going to get that informa-tion out to the workforce, startingwith a town hall scheduled for thesummer,” she said. “An automatedforum for the dissemination of futureinformation will also be created.”The JBM-HH strategic plan will

also seize on opportunities to improveon the “jointness” of operationsand services offered here, with theaddition of a fourth line of effort,Joint Basing, Lessane said.“We’re looking at how wemeasure

our goals and if we’re meeting theexpectations set by IMCOM,” she said.Lessane said all the installation’s

directors are involved in the effortto implement the JBM-HH stra-tegic plan. To date, four off-sitemeetings have been held to discussthe campaign, with more plannedfor the future. In addition, a workinggroup meeting, conducted by lineof effort subject matter experts, hasalso been held.The plan will be published

later this year.Look for more coverage

of JBM-HH’s strategic planthroughout the year.

to Netcom Technologies for theconversion, said Tony Newman,JBM-HHDPW’s electrical planner.The project will result in annual

energy savings of nearly $17,000,according to Newman, and annualmaintenance savings of approximately$9,000. Thanks to the conversion,the joint base will save approximately$182,000 over the next seven years.

“We’re going to save on a bunch ofmaintenance costs and replacementcosts, bigtime,” Lucas said.The project began in May and

old Soldier when he wentto war in Europe. Nowapproaching his 91st birthday,he was in the front row forthe wreath-laying ceremony.He remembered one key

aspect of serving in Holland.“Mud was everywhere,”

Bertino said in a preparedstatement attained throughthe Dutch embassy. “And inthe winter, it just got worse.”Following the ceremony,

Willem-Alexander andMáxima greeted the Americanwomen andmen who assistedin liberating the Netherlandsand took a tour of theMemorialAmphitheatre Display Roomand presented a gift to thecollection on behalf of theDutch people.To conclude their ANC

respects to Americans whofought to liberate their countryon this 70th anniversary ofthe end of World War II,”said ANCHistorian StephenCarney, who accompaniedthe couple on the final legof the royal visit. “Since thegraves of Audie Murphy andBobbie Brown are withinwalking distance of the amphi-theater, they wanted to paytheir respects to two Medalof Honor recipients.”

founding to the modern day.Free and open to the public onWednesday evenings, theMay 27show saw hundreds of studentsfrom throughout the country.“You don’t realize the impact

that you have, especially onthose young school-age kids,”Dailey said. “They will for therest of their lives, I promise you,remember this day.”Dailey said the patriotism and

pride the children feel are a resultof the work of The Old GuardSoldiers, who show how the Armyhas protected and served theAmerican people.“I’m proud to be your sergeant

major,” he said. “I’m proud tobe in the presence of you everysingle day.”Drill teammember Sgt. Nestor

Rossi said a lot of people cometo the performance not knowingmuch about Soldiers or the

military in general. It is the jobof the Soldiers to provide insightinto the Army, he said.“It is great having the oppor-

tunity to represent the Army,hear people say “thank you,” and,interact with the visitors, he said.“It’s one of the biggest honors

to know that we were able torepresent the Army and be a rolemodel to all these kids out thereas well,” he said.Participating in the Twilight

Tattoo is a very special experience,said Cpl. Kendra Woollacott,a military police officer. “It’samazing. I love it,” she said.Soldiers demonstrate how hon-

orable it is to be a member of themilitary, she said. Interacting withschool children after the event isspecial, as well.“It really hits the heart to

see how inspiring you are tothem and how much you meanand how much they look up toyou,” Woollacott said. “It givesyou motivation to do what youdo every day.”

The Twilight Tattoo, whichis held each week from Aprilthrough August, features liveaction with Old Guard Soldiersand presents snippets of Americanhistory through performances byTheU.S. Army Band “Pershing’sOwn,” The Old Guard Fife andDrum Corps, and The U.S.Army Drill Team.The event gives noncommis-

sioned officers, or NCOs, anopportunity to showcase theirtalents and esprit de corps to com-missioned officers, military police1st Sgt. Mark Haliburton said.“It was truly an honor and priv-

ilege to do what we did tonight,”Haliburton said.Fellow military policeman 1st

Sgt. James Barrett said it was aproud experience to take part inthe tattoo that honored NCOs.“It’s incredible because the

NCOs are themovers and shakersof the Army,” he said. “It’s justa really awesome experience forme and for my Soldiers, who goto participate in it.”

Preparing for the unthinkablenon-commissioned officercorps have the responsibilityto make sure NCOs are readyfor the next step in theirmilitary careers.“What I think is important

to our institution is that we payattention to the little things,like how we carry ourselves,howwe relate to other people,”he said. “That’s where I focusSNCOs and NCOs.”The battalion’s command-

sponsored corporals’ coursesand lance corporals seminarsand other professional militaryeducational opportunitiesare also an integral part ofthe formation of its juniorMarines, he said.Pullen also noted that the

battalion recently held a jointprofessional military educa-tion seminar for NCOs fromall branches of the nation’sarmed forces.“I think it’s good because

younger NCOs oftentimes donot get exposed to the jointworld,” he said. “I think wherewe’re going today, there’smore opportunities for that.”When he’s not leading

Marines, Pullen said he isan avid outdoorsman wholoves to run and hunt.“I’m a crazy hunter,”

he said. “It’s something Igrew up with.”

use their tent, which took six to eightpeople and about 40 minutes to set upand break down,” saidMiller. “We boughtthese tents because they are less manpowerintensive; the new tents take one to twopeople and 10 minutes to set-up andbreak-down.”The fire department viewed two dem-

onstrations of the tent system beforedeciding what system would best supportthe department’s needs, added Miller.“The two new tents and associated

powering system gives us the capabilityto heat and cool people at any givenevent, especially at special events, suchas Twilight Tattoo, or any mass causality-type event where EMS-related treatmentis required,” said Miller.While the tent can heat/cool (tempera-

ture controlled) automatically based topre-set temperatures,Miller says the nextstep is to be able to heat one tent whilecooling the other tomaintain varying tem-

peratures based on the needs of patients.The tents will be used as a command

post to house operations personnel forcommand and control purposes, a shelterduring severe weather or as a decontami-nation tent in the event of chemical orradiological exposure, said Miller.The tents were used to treat patients at

the FortMyer portion of JBM-HHduringNational Memorial Day Observanceevents at Arlington National Cemetery,when thousands of visitors flood thecemetery annually to pay respects and visitgrave sites. About 10 people were treatedat the tents during the events, whichwere manned by a team of medical andresponse professionals from JBM-HH’sDirectorate of Emergency Services, theNational Capital Region AdvancedCardiac Life Support Team, ManassasPark Fire Rescue and Arlington CountyFire Department.Most patients were treated for heat-

related ailments, according to Miller.Pentagram staff writer Damien Salas can
