Cyber-Electromagnetic Activities, orCEMA, teams are now routinely operat-ing with brigades at combat training cen-ters and sometimes during home-stationtraining, said Maj. Gen. John MorrisonJr., commander of the Cyber Center ofExcellence and Fort Gordon, Georgia.
Thatwasnot the case in 2015,when thepilot, known as CEMA Support to Corpsand Below, or CSCB, was launched, Mor-rison said at a Cyber Hot Topics panelsponsored by the Association of the U.S.Army last month.
The key word to remember aboutCEMA teams, he said, is “integration.”
It’s about “integrating requirements,integrating capabilities and integrat-ing formations so literally you can havea combined arms effect inside cyber-space,” he said.
The CEMA teams themselves are be-coming integrated as well, with special-ists from cyber, military intelligence,electronic warfare, signals intelligenceand sometime space coming togetherto deliver effects to the maneuver com-mander, he said.
Cyber branch integrationThis integration is a new concept and
the transition is still in progress,Morrisonsaid. For instance, electronic warfare, orEW, personnel will be rolled into the new-ly-created Cyber Branch Oct. 1. And be-ginning thismonth,mobile training teams
will fan out across the Army to pave theway for full integration.
There are discussions with U.S. ArmyTraining and Doctrine Command re-garding moving information operationsinto the Cyber Branch as well, he added.
Col. Paul “Tim” Brooks, Mission As-surance division chief, Department ofthe Army Management Office — Cyber,said social network analysis will also

Fort Leonard Wood’s Public AffairsOffice has teamed up with a talentedgroup of volunteers to bring new and ex-citing products to those wishing to learn
more about the installa-tion, the area, and evenmilitary life in general.
A blog titled, “ShowMe Fort Leonard Wood:Your one-stop guide toeverything Fort Leon-ard Wood,” is the firstproduct unveiled andhas recently been re-
leased on Wordpress.“PAO created a blog for local spous-
es, by local spouses, to answer manycommon questions families face whenthey move to Fort Leonard Wood,” saidTiffany Wood, PAO director. “Hav-
ing a military spouse write the blogto tell the Fort Leonard Wood story toother spousesmakes sense be-cause they haveunique experi-ences and insightsthat other militaryspouses can relateto. If someone has aquestion about on-posthousing, who betterto answer those ques-tions than someone liv-ing in post housing?”
The blog’s mainauthor, Amanda Sul-livan, PAO volunteerand military spouse,said the blog is mostlygeared toward new andveteran spouses, service members andfamilies of Soldiers in training on theinstallation.
“My hope is to provide a place wherespouses, Soldiers and families can find
accurate answers to questions theymay have regarding the post, op-portunities and resources, or gen-eral information,” Sullivan said.
“There is so much informationout there that determining
the correct answers toeven simple questionscan be difficult. I aimto change that.”
Pulling from herown experiencesand backed byresearch, Sul-livan said sheis trying to an-swer all of thequestions she
had before mov-ing to Fort Leonard
Wood, and even to her first duty sta-tion as a spouse, to create an in-depth
list of topics.“I took into consideration the ques-
tions I had when first moving here, oras a new spouse in general, and also re-searched the most common questions Ihave seen spouses ask,” she said. “I willcover topics ranging from etiquetteand protocols, such as what to wear toa military ball, to things to do around

The Army’s senior logistician toldleaders to ensure their units are readyfor the next war, because whereverandwhenever it is, it will take the totalforce to fight and win.
“Place yourself on the battlefieldand work left,” Army Materiel Com-mand’s Gen. Gus Perna said via tele-conference to more than 400 leadersgathered in Little Rock, Arkansas, forthe Army National Guard’s Green TabCommanders Conference Jan. 5.
Perna encouraged leaders to re-think the term “readiness.”
“If you get a call tonight, can youdrive equipment fromyourmotor poolto a trainwhere it then goes to a port?”Perna asked. “Your equipment arrivesat another port, where you offload itand drive into combat.”
Perna told leaders it was their re-sponsibility to ensure their units’ Sol-diers, equipment,maintenance, supplyand administrative activities were inorder.
Rather than focusing on reports andmetrics, Perna urged leaders to thinkof their own organization in terms ofits contribution to the total picture.
“I’m asking you to process readi-ness in a three dimensional way, be-yond reporting and statistics.Wemustunderstand ourselves, know what ourmission is, and understand our train-ing, maintenance, supply and adminis-tration,” Perna said.
At the Army Materiel Command,Perna noted he is focusing more on
maintenance trends than fleet readi-ness metrics, warning that fleet readi-ness reports could bemisleading.
“If we have 10 steps to make cof-fee and accomplish nine, that’s 90 per-cent,” Perna said. “But are we drink-ing coffee? The obvious answer is no.”
Perna urged leaders to do what heis challenging his own leaders to do.“We have to see ourselves, look atthings differently and challenge thestatus quo,” he said.
As the AMC builds breadth anddepth into the global supply chain, Per-na asked for the National Guard lead-ers’ help as the organization is moving1.2 million pieces of equipment to bet-ter equip units.
Perna acknowledged that the field isexperiencing a shortage of equipmenton hand. He noted that by shifting800,000 pieces of equipment, all unitsacross the total Army would be betterthan 90 percent equipped within thenext two years.
When called to do so, Perna urgedleaders to send their best equipment,keeping in mind the impact to theArmy at large. The lateral transfers,he said, would mitigate shortages ofequipment on hand across the force.
When it comes to divesting, Pernaalso encouraged leaders not to hangon to equipment they don’t need.
“We’re going to aggressively workthis,” Perna said. “Don’t hold on toyour excess — it’s not for ‘just incase.’ Think of what’s best for thewhole Army.”(Editor's note: Simunaci writes for
Army Materiel Command.)

By Senior Airman Samantha SalopekSpecial to GUIDON
Six years and four months ago I married myhusband. I was 19 years old and complete-ly ignorant to the commitment I just made.
Dual military marriages make up just over11 percent of the Air Force population andlike many dual couples, we were stationedapart. Less than a year after requesting joinspouse orders, he was assigned 16 miles fromme.
“The Brady Bunch” did not prepare mefor the big move. Melding lives togetherdid not consist of soft voices and whimsicalbackground music. The voices were loud andsometimes unfamiliar to our own, and resolu-tions did not come quickly.
Our first argument was over the unsanc-tioned addition of tuna to macaroni and cheese.I am a food purist at heart and the defilementof my beloved macaroni was, at the time, apersonal violation to me.
A fewwords and glares were exchanged. Then,the kettle of macaroni made its way out the frontdoor and across the lawn. As it flew through theair, it spewed its contents like tears of cheesysadness. This was not my proudest moment.
No one really talks about their arguments,or maybe they do and I just never listened.Nobody mentioned staying away from food thatyou are passionate about unless you are willingto accept change.
I am naturally opposed to change, and a foodenthusiast, so this advice would have beenwelcomed. The initial transition period, thoughpainful at times, was merely a flash that wenow look back on with joyful reminiscence.
By year three, we were weathering theturbulent storm of my husband’s activeduty separation. It was an easy process thatwe thought would make life simpler, but itonly gave way to greater stress. We had torediscover who we were as a couple whenthe biggest thing we had in common, beingactive duty service members, was no longer asimilarity.
Aside from a poor decision to buy and liveon a large sailboat years later, his separa-tion from active duty was the biggest hurdlewe faced in our marriage. In times of greatchange a partnership gets redefined. Yourbest friend can quickly become a silentstranger if you give up trying to connect.
To our benefit, we are both stubborn and
determined individuals. We made an effortto learn and participate in each other’s livesoutside the home and it revitalized our nowflourishing relationship.
In 2013, my husband was attending a localliberal arts college. He began reading to meevery night. Often it was a philosophy selec-tion assigned for class. During dinner wewould read news articles we found interest-ing or discuss evolving topics. This allowedus to highlight and participate in our indi-vidual interests together.
In the end, it was clear that we were nottogether because of our specific commonali-ties, but because we enjoyed experiencingeach other. It was a simple revelation madein a critical time.
Like joining the military, marriage is a lifealtering commitment. It requires understand-ing that the relationship will continuouslychange and is in constant need of examinationto succeed. Take solace in the Airmen whohave pushed through these waves before youand those who are continuing with you.(Editor’s note: Salopek is with the 60th Air

Each year, on the third Monday in January,we pause to remember the legacy ofDr. Martin Luther King Jr. — a hero
with a vision; a courageous voice that calledfor social equality deeplyrooted in our nation’s foundingprinciples.
As we celebrate Dr. King’sdream, we celebrate the Ameri-can dream — an idea where ev-ery person, regardless of race,gender or creed, is treated withdignity, respect and compassion.
As we reflect on Dr. King’sselfless service Monday, andover the weekend, please re-main focused on safety. Withwinter upon us, we encourageyou to prepare for weather-related emergencies, includ-ing power outages, frozenwater lines and hazardousroad conditions.
Take precautions when outdoors, and
know the symptoms and treatment for frost-bite, hypothermia and other cold weatherinjuries.
Inspect your vehicles and keep a survivalkit readily available. If you plan on travel-ing, depart earlier than normal to allowfor unpredictable circumstances. Be alert,never rush, and always wear your seat beltand never drink and drive.
At Fort Leonard Wood, we expect all or-ganizations and leaders to discuss weekendplans within their formations. Be engaged,lead by example, and remind your teammatesto use good judgment.
Every member of our team is critical to oursuccess in training Soldiers, Marines, Sailors,and Airmen.
As a team of teams, we are committed toachieving Dr. King’s principle of unity andjustice for all. Please serve honorably, havefun, and be mindful of everyone’s safety.
We are proud to serve by your side. Victorystarts here, victory through skill.(Editor’s note: Savre is the Maneuver Sup-
port Center of Excellence and Fort LeonardWood commanding general. Stanley is theMSCoE and Fort Leonard Wood commandsergeant major.)

mandant, U.S. Army CyberCenter and School, said that hisschool at Fort Gordon has alsobeen integrating Soldiers fromthe various CEMA specialties,and the program of instructionreflects that change.
Thegoal of the school, he said,is to better train and educate thestudents so that each has knowl-edge of what the others are do-ing. For instance, someone incyber should know somethingabout EW and military intelli-gence, or signals intelligence.The reason for that is that thereare times when an offensive ordefensive CEMA solution mightinvolve just EW or informationoperations — or a combination— so everyone needs to havethat full-spectrum knowledgetheycandeliver to themaneuvercommander.
The other goal, Hersey said,
is to produce professionalswho can hit the ground run-ning once they leave the schoolhouse, with minimal follow-ontraining at their assigned units.
Centers of Excellence integrationMorrison said that integra-
tion can also mean collaborat-ing across the centers of ex-cellence. For instance, in theformulation of a recent cyberrequirement, it was beneficialto have both the Cyber and theIntelligence CoEs working onan integrated requirement.
Hersey noted that the Spe-cial Operations CoE has goodinformation on the cognitiveand human dimensions of war-fare that can prove useful to aCEMA team and when writinga cyber requirement.
Morrison observed that ad-versaries are not stovepipedin their planning and execu-tion, so that’s why integrateddiscussions at the CoE levelare so important.
Training integrationMaj. Wayne Sanders, branch
chief, CEMA Support to Corpsand Below, ARCYBER G39,said CEMA teams have in thelast few years been integratedinto exercises at the combattraining centers and at somehome station training areas.
Col.RobertRyan, 3rdBrigade
Combat Team, 25th InfantryDivision commander, has beenthe recipient of that integratedCEMA effort at his brigade’shome station andCTC training.
CEMA teams, he said, playa key role in decision-makingand targeting decisions. For in-stance, a problem set might be:“Can I turn someone off withEW and collect cyber intelli-gence and feed that up to divi-sion and corps? And how can Iwork authorities to best lever-age the end state?”
Sanders said a CEMA teamwas able to show Ryan the elec-tromagnetic signals his brigadewas producing during his homestation training. “His brigade
was lit up like aChristmas tree.”The CEMA team showed
him how to effectively re-duce that signal, Sandersadded.
Industry integrationRetired Army Col. George
Lewis, vice president, CEMAInitiatives, CACI International,said it’s no longer just nation-states that pose a threat inthe CEMA environment. Even“low-tech people can outpaceus in their requirements andacquisition efforts. We’ve gotto adapt quicker.”
Lewis also mentioned theneed for integrating better withindustry and academia to gain
the best technology, tactics,techniques and procedures.
Retired Army Col. LaurieBuckhout, president and CEO,Corvus Group, said contrac-tors are generally a lot olderand have a much more diverseset of experiences and skillsthan Soldiers. They also col-laborate well with Soldierswhen invited.
Lastly, Maj. Gen. Patri-cia Frost, director of Cy-ber G-3/5/7, summed up theimportance of cyber inte-gration, noting that all Sol-diers need to have a basicawareness and knowledgeof CEMA. “We’re a digitalArmy.”

For active duty members of theUniformed Services and their eligiblefamily members, the Federal PostCard Application is the key to apply-ing to register to vote while simulta-neously requesting absentee ballotsfor the calendar year. It also ensuresyour local election official knows howto reach you.
The Federal Voting Assistance Pro-grammakes it easy. You can go onlineat www.fvap.gov, select your state oflegal residence and use the FVAP On-line Assistant to complete your Fed-eral Post Card Application. This willlet you register to vote, request yourabsentee ballot and/or change youraddress while providing you with allof your state-specific information
and requirements.Once an absentee ballot is received,
it is important to vote the ballot andreturn it quickly to your local electionofficer. This will ensure the ballot ar-rives before the cutoff date set by thestate. Do research on the candidatesand issues beforehand in order tomake completing and returning yourabsentee ballot quicker and easier.
One of the biggest myths believedby some servicemembers is that theirabsentee ballot will not be counted, orwill only count in a close election. Infact, absentee ballots submitted in ac-cordance with state laws are countedfor every election. All ballots arecounted in the final totals for everyelection, and every vote (absentee orin-person) counts the same.
For Missouri residents, you are
encouraged to get registered and votein-person for all elections. The Mis-souri state primary will be held onAug. 7.

What doesMartinLutherKing JrDayMean to you?By Chaplain (Maj.)Daryl DensfordSpecial to GUIDON
As we areapproaching Mar-tin Luther King,
Jr. Day, Monday, manypeople are looking for-ward to time off work.Others, however, mayhave different thoughtsthat come to mind.
The older among usmay remember King andhis fight for civil rights,
the WattsRiots or thenationwiderioting afterKing wasmurdered.Those not asold, may re-member the
riots following the Rod-ney King beating in LosAngles. Some youngerfolks may have in mindthe Ferguson riots.
What these events hadin common, is that theywere responses to unlov-ing attitudes and actionsbetween races. One sidefelt their rights were be-ing trampled on. Othersthought justice was notbeing done. Some sawprivilege and racism,while others saw law-lessness and disrespect.None of these attitudes— which often lead toactions — can be pres-ent in people who wishto live in community.The problem is that toomany times we work forour own welfare whileneglecting the welfareof others, or worse: wewalk over other’s free-
doms in pursuit of ourown happiness.
Fortunately, we haveguidance, principles,even mandates, fromsacred texts that if fol-lowed, will alleviate,if not eradicate, manyof the divisions we seetoday.
One of these is foundin the words of Jesus, inLuke 6:27-28: “But to youwho are listening I say:Love your enemies, dogood to those who hateyou, bless those whocurse you, pray for thosewho mistreat you.”
To make it even sim-pler to follow, Jesus latersaid in verse 31, whatwould become known asthe Golden Rule, “Do toothers as you would havethem do to you.” Howmuch easier could it get?Before I speak or act,I just need to considerwhether that word oraction would be one thatI would like to receivetoward me.
No?Then don’t say it or
do it!Maybe this year,
instead of just enjoyinga couple of days off, wecould use this remem-brance of Martin LutherKing, Jr. to recommit toliving more by the “Gold-en Rule,” showing othersrespect and dignity,treating others as wewould like to be treated.This is my commitment;will it be yours?(Editor’s note: Dens-
ford is the ReligiousSupport Office ChaplainResource manager.)
