The Kitsap County Veterans Advisory Board Wednesday unanimously voted to suggest changes to the veterans assistance that focus on “basic needs to survive” and cap maximum amount of monetary aid to individual veterans.
Under the old guidelines the maximum monetary aid a veteran could receive from the fund was $1,200 for the year. The new policy seeks to lower that amount to $900 per veteran

BREMERTON (NSS) – More than 2,000 family members, friends, and shipmates recently assembled aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz to pay respect to Lt. Cmdr. Regina Mills who was struck and killed by a vehicle when she stopped to assist others involved in a traffic collision in Gig Harbor Jan. 23.
“Regina was a great leader and offi-cer,” said Capt. Paul O. Monger, USS Nimitz commanding officer. “She was a leader and mentor, not only to the Sailors and officers in the Air depart-ment, but throughout the ship. It would be difficult to find anyone aboard Nimitz whose life or career here wasn’t positively influenced by her.
“Tasked with ensuring optimum safety on board an aircraft carrier, an inherently dangerous environment, she died as a result of trying to assist
a person faced with potential danger. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Regina will be sorely missed,” said Monger.
During the ceremony, family mem-bers and close friends shared memories and impressions Mills left with them.
“Personally, she taught me to put the needs of others before that of your own,” said Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Mills, Mills’ husband. “She lived by that motto. She died by that motto.”
“Life is not measured by how many years you live, it’s how you live the years you have,” said Cmdr. Lisa Ketterman. “And she made it count every day.”
The Louisville, Ky., native enlisted in the Navy in 1986. After graduating recruit training command in Orlando, Fla., Mills was assigned to Helicopter
Maritime Strike Squadron 41 aboard Naval Air Station North Island, Calif.
In January 1990, she reported to U.S. Naval Support Force Antarctica where she deployed with Operation Deep Freeze. Her next duty station was Naval Air Station Whidbey Island from July 1993 to February 1998.
Mills then went to serve as an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. She was one of the first female Aviation Boatswain’s Mates to work on an operational f light deck. During her tour aboard Lincoln, she earned a commission as a naval officer through the Limited Duty Officer program.

NAVY REGION NORTHWEST (NNS) – African Americans have helped shape this country. Each year their importance is recognized and celebrated in February. The Department of Defense joins the nation in this year’s theme: Black Women in American History and Culture.
“More than 123,000 African Americans serve today in the Navy’s total force — active, reserve and civilian,” said Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations.
It was back in 1925 that Harvard historian Carter G. Woodson launched Negro History Week as an
initiative to bring national attention to the contribu-tions of African American people throughout history. In 1976, the 50th anniver-sary of Negro History Week and the Bicentennial of the United States’ indepen-dence, President Gerald R. Ford proclaimed February as Black History Month.
“The contributions of African Americans to our Navy can be traced back to the Revolutionary War,” said Van Buskirk.” During the Civil War, African American Sailors fought on every type of Union warship, and their accomplishments included eight Medal of Honor recipients.”
This week’s spotlight is Adm. Michelle J. Howard, who has many firsts to her credit. She is the first female U.S. Naval Academy gradu-ate to be promoted to the rank of admiral, the first African American female to command a combatant ship and the first to be promoted to two-star admiral.
Howard is a 1978 graduate of Gateway High School in Aurora, Colo., and graduated from the academy in 1982 and from the Army’s Command and General Staff College in 1998, with a master’s in military arts and scienc-es. She is currently Chief of Staff to the Director for Strategic Plans and Policy, J-5, Joint Staff.
“Throughout our naval history, African American Sailors have served with honor and distinction in every major war fought by and within the United States,” said Van Buskirk. “They have led and excelled in challeng-ing assignments, and their contributions con-tinue to shape our legacy today.”
BANGOR (NNS) Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen aboard Naval Base Kitsap Bangor joined forces as 20 junior service members partici-pated in a non-commis-sioned officers training course conducted by the Marine Corps Security Forces Battalion Bangor, Jan. 9-27.
This was the first time MCSFBN Bangor’s annu-al three-week course has encompassed inte-grated material from all three services including the Marines’ Corporal Course and Navy and Coast Guard’s Petty Officer Indoctrination courses.
“It teaches our [per-sonnel] leadership, mili-tary history and the core values of honor, courage and commitment, which applies to all branches,” said Sgt. Maj. Richard Smith, course chief instructor, MCSFBN.
During the course, service members par-ticipated in daily combat conditioning, incorpo-rating a main theme of “no one left behind.”
According to Sgt. Ryan Hurst, assistant faculty advisor, students were forced out of their comfort zones to learn that their mind will fail before their bodies.
Participants also attended instructor-led classes with a curricu-lum of customs, cour-tesies and traditions of each branch.
“The course is designed to not only challenge them mentally
and physically, but it also gives them a new sense of camaraderie,” said Master-at-Arms 2nd Class (SW) Clarence Judd, assistant faculty advisor, MCSFBN.
Weekly group coun-seling also took place throughout the course, allowing instructors to express expectations, help build student goals and to make any neces-sary improvements.
“These students are the main frame of the future,” said Judd. “They’re encompassing the knowledge of their respective branch of service as well as that of their counterparts.”
Coast Guard Maritime Enforcement Specialist 3rd Class (ME3) Richard Trujillo, a course par-ticipant, said that with the training and the knowledge gained from the course he feels a bit “ahead of the curve.”
“We learned a lot about the histories of the different branches and were able to see how each service actu-ally works together to accomplish missions,” said Cpl. Jared Connor, a course participant.
The course concluded with an early morning eight-mile hike around the base before a celebra-tory dinner and gradu-ation.
“It’s a tough course, but with everything I learned and experienced, it was definitely worth it,” said Master-at-Arms 3rd Class Erica Bost, MCSFBN.

WHIDBEY ISLAND (NNS) – Military food service personnel from surround-ing Northwest installations competed in the 3rd Annual Culinary Arts Competition at the Admiral Nimitz Dining Facility aboard Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Jan. 24.
Four teams comprised of service members from Naval Base Kitsap, Naval Station Everett, USS Nimitz and NAS Whidbey competed in four categories which includ-ed a showcase and display, best cupcake, best chili dog, and an hour-long cook-off competition.
“These competitions give us an opportunity to show our culinary skills on a deeper level then we would in our command on a daily basis,” said Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Shannon O’Neill, assigned to NSE. Judges for the competition included Capt. Christopher
Phillips, NAS Whidbey exec-utive officer, Cmdr. Michael Hakanson, base chaplain, Rachelle Peters, manager and executive chef at the officers club at NAS Whidbey, and David Dekker, executive chef for Centerplate, one of the largest hospitality companies in the world.
Judging criteria included use of the theme, taste, pre-sentation, originality and color coordination.
“The competition is actu-ally very good,” said Peters. “The Sailors are presenting a lot of unique things; they have a lot of talent.”
The hour-long cook-off featured a secret ingredient, which was not revealed until the start of the competi-tion with each team using the ingredient to produce a three-course meal. Teams were judged on knife skills, use of equipment, organiza-tion, cleanliness, execution, originality, taste and season-
ing.“This competition was just
wonderful,” said Dekker. “It instills a lot of passion into what these Sailors are doing every day. Although this is part of their duties, these tournaments bring their pas-sion to a different level, and it’s a lot of fun. I love judging this kind of stuff.”
The winners in first place from each category were NBK for cupcake and show-case display, NASWI won for best chili dog, and the win-ner for the secret ingredient went to the Nimitz.
The overall winner for the competition went to NAS Whidbey.
“I think Whidbey Island winning the overall competi-tion is outstanding for the Sailors and those involved in the competition,” said Chief Culinary Specialist Kevin Pyne, leading culinary specialist at the base galley. “Seeing all the commands coming together in the kitchen and competing with one another, you can see the love that they all have when preparing the food; they really shine as an individual and as a team.”
Pyne also cited CS1 Matthew McFarlane for doing an outstanding job in coordinating and bring-ing the other commands together.

Gregory Wayne Anderson, a 25 year old E-4 aboard the USS Nimitz was shot outside a Seattle nightclub Feb. 5. With life-threatening injuries to his chest, he was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, were he later died.
Anderson was from Fresno, TX and joined the Navy on March 19, 2009.
He reported to the USS Nimitz on Oct. 11, 2009, said Liane Nakahara, spokeswoman for Navy Region Northwest.
Seattle police depart-ment patrol officers and Gang Unit detectives responded to the call at 1:46 a.m. Sunday. Officers report that they arrived to a “highly chaotic scene
with an uncooperative crowd.” Those at the scene were reluctant to talk to the police, according to the report.
Detectives said a fight broke out between people leaving the 1st Ave. South nightclub which escalated
until shots were fired. Two other victims, both males in their 20s, were taken to Harborview Medical Center that night for head injuries. These injuries were not life threatening,
and the other two victims have been released.
The department will not reveal the names of their suspects, said Detective Renee Witt, spokesper-son for the Seattle Police
Department. However, they are asking those that know the identities or whereabouts of those involved to call 206-233-5000.
MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) – Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Rick D. West recognized that chiefs are not made in six weeks said a Navy official Feb 8.
“The CPO 365 program is the method the MCPON has granted the chief’s mess to train first classes in prepara-tion for their selection and their grooming to become future chief petty officers,” said Senior Chief Fire Controlman Steven Pochop, Navy Personnel Command detailer and CPO 365 phase one coordinator.
In a message to the chiefs mess, West outlines the need for CPO 365. “I see the need to embrace and execute a process that provides train-ing beyond our mess to all first class petty officers throughout the year for, as I am sure you agree, every FCPO is actually a prospec-tive chief petty officer ,” said West.
The initiative went Navy-wide in 2010.
The three-phased, year-long development and train-ing will test the PCPO or selectee mentally, physically, personally and profession-ally. General guidance was established and released by MCPON in 2010, with addi-tional notes this year about lessons learned from the first cycle. Command master chiefs are the overseers of the program.
CPO 365 phase one begins in September for all first class petty officers. This phase is used to build a foundation for the yearlong cycle. It fosters team build-ing, community service and describes the expectations and accountability that come with the donning of anchors.
Phase two begins when board results are released and builds upon what was started in phase one by pre-paring board-eligible Sailors
for their transition. Phase three, induction,
is the final training period. This phase readies the future chief to lead Sailors and become an active member of the chiefs mess.
Training topics for CPO 365 include Navy heritage, Navy policies and proce-dures, equal opportunity guidance, sponsorship and indoctrination, Fleet and Family Service Center pro-grams, Perform-to-Serve, the enlisted retention board, career development boards and physical fitness and nutrition.
“We want to ensure that new chiefs and all first class leadership continue to guard those programs and educate our junior Sailors about their importance,” said Pochop.
Commands seeking to establish their own CPO 365 program should review the MCPONs 2011-2012 CPO 365 guidance.

Nimitz sailor dies in Seattle shooting
So far, Dinner with the Smileys has been about us and what we are going through while Dustin is away on deployment. My boys have met interesting people who have given them unforgettable experiences and thoughtful gifts. My boys are for-ever changed because of it.
After the mayor’s surprise limo and trip to get ice cream, Ford wanted to know why everyone is being so nice to us. I explained to him that it feels good to do things for others and that “treat-ing” the boys is for our guests a treat in itself.
Ford decided it would be nice to do the same thing for some-one else.
For our fifth Dinner with the Smileys, I asked my friend Jenifer Lloyd to show the boys what philanthropy is all about. Jenifer is a seven-year breast cancer survivor. She works for Champion the Cure. She knows a thing or two about giving back all that has been given to you.
Jenifer planned to take Ford, Owen and Lindell to the pediatric floor of Eastern Maine Medical Center, where they could meet children who have cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
A trip like this, of course, requires some planning...and lots of warning. In the days leading up to our dinner, I talked to the boys about what they might see and how they should behave. I told them they might have questions, and if they did, either Jenifer or the nurses could help them understand.
The boys were atten-tive and curious. They also were a little nervous. We decided to buy small gifts for the patients. Doing so helped the boys put themselves in the other children’s shoes: What would I want if I was in the hos-pital? Older kids, Ford decided,
would want crossword puzzles. Younger kids, Lindell said, would want coloring books.
I reminded the boys that our dinner guests had done the same thoughtful planning and questioning before the came to our house.
We met Jenifer at EMMC and rode the elevator to the eight
floor. When the doors parted, the boys saw a lighthouse and a mural of fish on the walls. This was not the “hospi-tal” they had imagined.
They hadn’t seen any-thing yet.
Inside the double swinging doors and down the hallway past the patient rooms was an atrium filled toys, a fuz-ball table, books, sofas and tables with umbrellas bathed in natural sunlight from the glass ceiling.
The boys were confused. Their faces said, So when do we get to the hospital? And in truth, I’m not sure Lindell, who is only 5, ever really understood that we were inside a hospital. Hospitals have come a long way from the time when the only comfort for children was an old television that played reruns of shows like Wheel of Fortune.
Amid such a child-friendly environment, my boys eased back into kid mode. Lindell rode on a stuffed dinosaur. Ford and Owen checked out the Fuzball table. There was laughter and noise.
Then a boy shuffled past in a hospital gown. He was close in age to my older boys and like them in almost all respects. Except he was carrying a bag for his catheter.
Now the boys remem-bered.
They made crafts with the
boy in the family resource room. Then he offered to help them pass out gifts to the other patients, some of whom we could not meet because of the nature of their ill-nesses.
After the hospital, it was time to have a meal with our din-ner guest. Jenifer arranged a table at the Black Bear Inn in Orono, where downtown’s Montes operates a small cafe. The boys let out some of their pent up energy by running to the newly renovated restroom to see the fountain heads (literally) that spit out water. While they were away, Jenifer asked if she could share her cancer story with them.
I wasn’t sure how much
the boys would understand. Do they even know what breasts are? But when Jenifer showed them pictures of herself being wheeled into surgery, they “got it.” The table was quiet for a couple min-utes while Jenifer fiddled with her smartphone. She pulled up another picture, this one of her bald head and her naturally bald husband wearing a wig meant for her. The boys looked at me as if for permis-sion to laugh. Jenifer beat them to it. When she laughed, they did, too.
It’s hard to know how much the boys absorbed from the day, but they’ve been unusu-ally quiet ever since. Did I show them too much? Did any of it
make sense? I’ll probably never know.
Yet, as we left the cafe that night, Jenifer gave each of the boys a gift from herself and the Inn. It was a stuffed bear. My older boys are past the age of stuffed animals, so I worried they might make a face. I held my breath.
Then Owen read the card tied to the bear’s neck. All the proceeds from the stuffed animal go to Cancer Care of Maine. No one said a word. The boys stared at their bears. And my heart was glad because although everyone got a gift, I saw what the boys had come to know: It wasn’t about them.

female Aviation Deck LDO July 1, 2000. She was assigned as the Air Bos’n on board USS Tarawa in San Diego, Calif., from August 2000, to November 2002. Her next tour was with Expeditionary Strike Group 3 from November 2002, to December 2004.
In December 2004, Mills was transferred aboard Nimitz as the f light deck officer where she completed two deployments in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. From December 2007 to December 2009 she served with Afloat Training Group Pacific in San Diego, to pro-
vide afloat training to the Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
Mills reported for her second tour aboard
Nimitz in December 2009, to serve as the Navy’s first female air-craft handling officer.
per year. The board hopes to better define what is consid-ered a basic need, including housing, heat, medicine and food.
The proposed changes will be reviewed by county staff and then sent to the county commissioners for a further action.
Other changes include limiting food and medicine aid to $500 per individual each year. Temporary lodg-ing for veterans that can-not get into shelter beds will be cut in half from 10 days. Secondary items like mortgage assistance for vet-erans, help with educational expenses, transportation assistance, car repair, day-care or legal expenses have been cut out of the scope of aid, said Michelle Hodges, Veterans Assistance Fund policy review committee member.
Hodges explained that the committee decided, in a joint meeting with Kitsap Community Resources, that there are federal and county programs outside of the fund that can help veterans. Streamlining is key, she said.
“Of course second-ary needs are important, but they will no longer be
addressed by the veterans assistance fund,” Hodges said. “We have to keep people alive and if there is money left over we can help with other areas of their lives.”
Last month, the veterans assistance fund paid out approximately $32,000 in aid to 64 veterans in the county. The board discussed its con-cern that money was run-ning out at the December 2011 meeting when it voted to recommend a veterans assistance property tax levy to the commissioners.
“That’s a pretty heavy start,” said Mark Lowe, board member.
Senate Bill 6452 for the property tax levy for veter-ans has passed the Ways and Means committee Feb. 6 and is moving on to be heard at the Rules. The bill seeks to remove the veterans assis-tance fund from counties’ general levies into a separate and more flexible process.
There are still concerns about limited assistance funds, but Leif Bentsen, Kitsap County veterans funds coordinator, believes that the monthly number will decrease when the sug-gested revisions go into
effect. “I think that everyone
feels pretty strongly that the veterans assistance fund should not be viewed as a veterans entitlement or ben-efits program,” Hodges said.
Gary Spevak, a former veterans service officer and a veteran in attendance, said that he likes the changes.
“There were some that truly deserved and needed the aid, others were just repeat customers, not actively seeking employ-ment and treated it like an entitlement,” Spevak said. “I felt like it was being abused. Where’s the emergent need?”
Ed Palm, board member, expressed some concern that the definition of “basic needs” was too limiting and that some “wiggle room” should be built into the pol-icy language for unknown variables that effect a vet-eran’s survival.
The board listened to Palm’s concerns and revised the language to read that basic needs are “gener-ally limited to” rather than “pertains to” housing, heat, medicine, and food to allow for special cases.
Bentsen explained that the local veterans service officers were consulted throughout the process of revision before it was brought to the advisory board, and the Feb. 8 meet-ing was open to public com-ment.
“It’s a very thorough review process,” Bentsen said. “We listen to what the veterans have to say.”

WASHINGTON (AFPS) – The United States hasn’t seen a large-scale ter-rorist attack since 9/11 because U.S. forces have crushed al-Qaida over the last decade, a senior Defense Department official Tuesday said .
Michael A. Sheehan, assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, told an audience at a SOLIC symposium that the United States has the best military the world has known.
“I’ve heard it actually through my entire career that right now we have the best soldiers that we’ve ever had,” Sheehan said. “But what always made us good soldiers was not only the dedi-cation [and] the train-ing, but the equipment we had -- particularly over the last 10 or 20 years. The technology and equipment, com-bined with the fierce warrior spirit that was developed, make us the greatest soldiers on the planet.”
Sheehan praised the private sector for its work on technological advances for the mili-tary, noting the oppor-tunity the symposium provided for cross-
feed between Defense Department and private-sector conferees.
“Quite frankly, you guys from the private sector -- from the sector of American ingenu-ity --are the ones that bring that technological advantage to our soldiers on the battlefield that enable it to continue to be the most effective fighting force in the world,” Sheehan said.
Sheehan is a retired Army officer who served in a variety of infan-
try and Special Forces assignments. He spent three years of his post-Army career as the New York City Police Department’s deputy commissioner for coun-terterrorism.
“While I was in New York, I was often asked by the people in that city, ‘Why haven’t we been attacked again? Why doesn’t al-Qaida just do X, Y or Z?’” he said. Sheehan said his answer was simple: al-Qaida wasn’t as capable as
people believed, and U.S. forces have responded effectively.
“Al-Qaida wasn’t as good as we thought they were on 9/11,” he said. “I knew this organiza-tion well before 9/11, but quite frankly, the American people were asleep at the switch in U.S. government prior to 9/11. So an organiza-tion that wasn’t that good looked really great on 9/11, and everyone looked to the skies every day after 9/11 for that
next attack, and it didn’t come.”
The terror organiza-tion didn’t have other operators in the United States besides the 9/11 hijackers and a few oth-ers, he said, so the wide-ly expected follow-up attack never happened.
“But the other part of the equation is that we are better than we often give ourselves credit for,” Sheehan said. “And actually, the other reason is because we actually responded very, very effectively to crush al-Qaida immediately after 9/11 and continually for the last 10 years.”
U.S. forces were effec-tive in expelling al-Qaida from Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, he said. “And what was so important about that operation,” he added, was several hundred [special operations forc-es] operators working side by side with the CIA and supported by the United States Air Force.”
This, Sheehan said, was a precursor for what would unfold over the next decade. “And I see as a precursor for the way forward,” he added, with the military work-ing alongside another U.S. agency without wor-rying about turf battles.
Sheehan said al-Qai-da’s eroded capabilities reflected in poor train-ing that resulted in a failed car-bomb attack in Times Square in 2010.
“Think about Faisal Shahzad,” Sheehan said. “Here is a bomber with unique capabil-ity because he was an American citizen, worked on Wall Street and took multiple trips to Pakistan to get train-ing in camps.
“But fortunately, he failed in constructing an effective bomb in Times Square,” he continued. “Why? In my view, because of the pressure that we put on al-Qaida and associated groups in that region.”
Sheehan said special operations forces will continue to do what has worked over the past 10 years, and that they will “get better at it.”
“We’re going to try to advance our operational capability and continue to stay ahead of them,” he said. “And you all in this room are part of that equation. You’re part of that equation -- part of the dialogue that we need to have to stay ahead of this enemy.”

WASHINGTON (AFPS) – The United States and Japan have agreed to “delink” two aspects of the planned relocation of U.S. forces in Japan, according to a state-ment released Wednesday.
Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said the U.S.-Japan joint defense posture statement affirms both nations are committed to relocating Marines within Okinawa, and also to mov-ing some of those forces to Guam.
“Both sides have agreed to delink the movement of Marines to Guam and resulting land returns south of [Kadena Air Base, home to the U.S. Air Force’s 18th Wing] from progress on the Futenma replacement facil-ity,” Little said. “By doing this, we can work the details of and make progress on each effort separately, yet we remain fully and equally committed to both efforts.”
The two countries are reviewing how to effec-tively work together to achieve the goals of the 2006 Realignment Roadmap and the 2009 Guam International Agreement, he added.
The 2006 roadmap signed by Japan and the United States would relocate Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, now in the center of Okinawa’s Ginowan City, to a more remote area of the island. Futenma is about seven miles from Kadena Air Base. The Guam agree-ment provides for a further move of 8,000 Marines from Okinawa to Guam. Both
agreements have been the subject of intense prefectural and national political debate in Japan.
Today’s statement reads, in part, “We remain com-mitted to mitigating the impact of U.S. forces on Okinawa, as well as to the construction of the Futenma replacement facility at the Camp Schwab Henoko-saki area and adjacent waters. We believe that the current Futenma replacement facil-ity plan is the only viable way forward.”
Little noted that the Defense Department’s new strategic guidance empha-sizes the importance of the Asia-Pacific region, and the rebalancing of U.S. defense priorities toward and within the region.
“A critical component to the success of this strategy continues to be our presence and military cooperation with our longstanding ally, Japan,” the press secretary said.
The two troop move-ments are designed to ease the impact of the Marine presence on the Okinawan people; develop Guam as a strategic hub with an operational Marine Corps presence on Guam; and maintain a presence in the region that is geographically distributed, operationally resilient, and politically sus-tainable, he added.
U.S. and Japanese officials began two-way working-group discussions Feb. 6 for the latest round of effort in the ongoing troop move-
ment plan, and those discus-sions likely will continue for some time, he said.
“No decisions will be announced until the details of the way forward are agreed upon by both countries,” Little added. “Therefore, right now, it’s premature to discuss troop numbers or specific loca-tions associated with the relocation of Marines from Okinawa.”
The two nations’ alli-ance is dedicated to Japan’s security and to maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, the press secretary noted, adding that the efforts announced today will continue to strengthen that alliance.

WASHINGTON (AFPS) – The United States must be prepared to sustain its special operations forces during fiscally constraining times, a senior Pentagon official Tuesday said.
Michael A. Sheehan, assistant secretary of defense for special opera-tions and low-intensity con-flict, told an audience at a SOLIC symposium that the new defense strategic guid-ance for reduced spending over the next decade has taken that into account.
“We know we’re in a peri-od of constrained resources in the United States govern-ment,” he said. “We know that we’re going to have to reduce the federal budget in the United States govern-ment. The Pentagon will
pay its share.”The strategic guid-
ance shows that President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta recognize the importance of special operations forces, Sheehan said.
One reason, he told the audience, is that advanced technology has made special operations forces efficient.
“The technology that we have, for someone like me who has been out of the federal government for a while, is absolutely extraor-dinary,” he said. “Right now, our special operators have an incredible array of sup-port which gives them an enormous advantage, and we have to keep that.”
Special operations forces
are going to be deployed around the world in the years to come, Sheehan said. “We’re planning at about 12,000 around the world over the longer term,” he added. “And we’re com-mitted to sustaining that force in the field.” That, he added, includes providing them with training and equipment and allow-ing them time to rest and recuperate and know their families.
“And [they will] be able to survive a career in spe-cial operations forces for decades,” Sheehan said. “We can’t lose that capability.”
Sheehan noted that the day before, Navy Adm. William H. McRaven, com-mander of U.S. Special Operations Command, told the same symposium that the most important aspect of special operations is the operators themselves.
“We’re committed to sustaining that force in the field,” Sheehan said. “We have to take care of them and their families as well as continue to enable them to train, deploy and operate at the highest level.”

The plucky tin can USS Meade (DD-602) was never far from battlewagons, flat-tops or the fiery action of World War II after entering the fray in mid-1942.
The ship was commis-sioned at Brooklyn Navy Yard, June 22, 1942.
It was 348 feet long, 36 foot abreast, and had a top speed of 38 knots. Its 268 crewmembers manned four, 5-inch guns; seven, 20mm anti-aircraft guns; five, 21-inch torpedo tubes; and depth charges.
After shakedown at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the destroyer sailed with the battleship USS Washington (BB-56) to the South Pacific.
She spent the fall of 1942 operating out of Nouma, New Caledonia providing patrol for ships.
During a fiery and deci-sive night battle between Savo Island and Guadalcanal on Nov. 14-15, 1942 she rescued 266 men from the sinking destroyers USS Preston and USS Walke.
She then departed the South Pacific for the Aleutian Islands where May 11, 1943, she took part in the bloodless re-occupation of Kiska Island.
After overhaul at Puget Sound Navy Yard, she steamed back into the South Pacific war zone in November 1943, to take part in the invasion of the Gilbert Islands and Tarawa Nov. 20.
On Nov. 22, 1943, she and sister destroyer USS Frazier located and attacked Japanese submarine I-35. They forced it to the surface, then rained down gunfire and finally the Frazier rammed and presumably sank the doomed subma-rine.
Four submarine sur-vivors popped up in the
water. Four small boats were launched to rescue them.
One prisoner was killed in an exchange of fire and then an American dive bomber mistook one motor whale-boat and dropped a 500-pound on the dazed crew, which survived, although their boat didn’t.
Between March 20 and April 2, 1944, she was part of Task Force 58 which was making extensive air strikes against Yap, Woleai, and the Palaus. She then protected then mighty and growing U.S. carrier fleet in air raids against the Caroline Islands.
A quick overhaul in San Francisco in fall 1944, then she sailed back to Pearl Harbor where eventually she sortied back into the war zone with the battleship USS Wisconsin.
From December 1944 through May 1945, she helped support battle groups and screened for convoy ships retaking the Marshall Islands and the Philippines.
While most of the Allied thrust then drove to Iwo Jima and Okinawa in par-ticipation of invading Japan, the USS Meade remained behind in escort runs in the Philippine Islands.
She completed her World War II duty doing escort duties between the Philippines, Okinawa, and French Indochina (later Vietnam).
She returned to the U.S. in November, then sailed through the Panama Canal for Norfolk, arriving Dec. 9, 1945. She entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in June 1946, where she remained in mothballs at Orange, Texas until sold for scrap in June 1973.
The ship earned eight battle stars for service in World War II.
