The Kwajalein Hourglass is named for the insig-nia of the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, which liberated the island from the forces of Imperial Japan on Feb. 4, 1944.The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorized publication for military person-nel, federal employees, contractor workers and their families assigned to U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll.

SMDC DIRECTOR TALKS RANGE FUTURETechnical experts and employees of the range community gathered at the Kwajalein Jr.-Sr. High School Multi-Pur-pose Room for a town hall hosted by U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Com-mand/Army Forces Strategic Command Technical Center Director Thomas Web-ber, Oct. 30.

Joining the director were USAG-KA Commander Col. James DeOre, Ron-ald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site Director Col. Rod Stuckey, RTS Range Director Lt. Col. Jake Wams-ley, contract leaders and employees of Kwajalein Range Systems and incoming range contractor Range Generation Next (RGNext).

Webber thanked the mission com-munity for continued perseverance in meeting mission goals during the chal-

lenging contract transition, and he rec-ognized that their combined efforts are what make mission accomplishment possible.

“Putting all the change aside and getting on with the business at hand is very important and appreciated by Col. DeOre and Lt. Col. Wamsley,” said Web-ber. RGNext is set to undertake the range contract Dec. 31.

Webber lauded the community for successfully completing multiple mis-sions in the past six months. He also rec-ognized the vital role maintenance and supply play in the upkeep and operation of range assets such as radars and the USS Worthy.

“It’s significant when you think about all the parts, pieces and expertise to keep the manlifts operating, so you can keep the radars operating,” Webber said. “They go hand in hand.”

Webber said the pace of range activity will most likely increase.

“Every time we get another request from U.S. Strategic Command it’s for more,” he said. “They want more pic-tures, more hours of support. It’s vital and critical that we are maintaining the systems, and keeping them operational.”

Webber recognized Kwajalein Atoll as a test range capable of facilitating the U.S. Army’s ongoing modernization pri-orities and as a suitable site for testing programs related to space, directed en-ergy and hypersonic weapons develop-ment.

“The Army is committed to develop-ing a hypersonic weapon capability,” said Webber. “DoD is committed to that. Expect that to translate directly into op-portunity for Kwajalein and RTS because nobody can fly the kinds of trajectories and scenarios like we can in the Pacific.”

ISLAND BRAVO TO LOCAL AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPKwajalein resident and pilot Mike Grabowski earned a first-place finish in the Hawaii State Golf Association Maui Amateur tournament two weekends ago.

Held at the Wailea Blue and Gold courses on Maui, the tour-nament brought in amateur golfers from throughout the state of Hawaii and visitors from the U.S. mainland. Grabowski fin-ished the first 18 holes at 74 shots and the second 18 at 72, inching past runner-up Thayne Costa by one stroke to clinch the win.

“The win feels great,” he said in an interview last Saturday. “It was fantastic.”

Many competitors taking their shot at the tournament were seasoned, accomplished amateurs either at the collegiate or mid-amateur levels. But both the rough weather and the dif-ficult layout of the courses, Grabowski said, helped offset some player’s advantages, making for a couple of competitive days of golf.

“The conditions on the first day were actually really tough,” he said. “And I think that was kind of a neutralizer. And then the course on the second day was a really difficult course” lit-tered with lava rocks, narrow corridors, rough grass and firm, speedy greens.

What made the event especially trying for Grabowski was the fact that, unlike almost all other players, he’d never golfed the Blue and Gold courses at the resort. That’s not how folks normally win events, he said. Despite flying in blind, he was able to secure the number one spot in what was his first ama-teur U.S. Golf Association-level tournament in about six years. The win, he said, has helped rekindle his interest in competing in amateur tournaments organized by the Hawaii State Golf As-sociation (the same organization that certifies and grades the courses at Kwajalein and Roi-Namur) in the years ahead.

A resident of Kwajalein since 2017, Grabowski is a regular at Kwajalein’s Holmberg Fairways—a course that is unique, maybe a little rough around the edges, but just fine for the is-land’s remote, little community, he said. He’ll continue playing and practicing on Kwaj until the 2019 tournament season in Hawaii opens up. If he places well in enough events next year, he could be invited to play in the HSGA’s Governor’s Cup a year from now. U.S. Army photo by Jordan Vinson


CONSERVATION IS KEY AT ENEWETAK ISLAND

In 2007, U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll and the Republic of the Marshall Islands preserved Enewetak island as a conservation area to compensate for USAG-KA’s activities on other islands. The Enewetak Conservation Area (ECA) was the first conservation area to be es-tablished in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, resulting in the first memoran-dum of understanding between USAG-KA, the RMI and other interested parties.

The memorandum states that the au-thorized personnel will visit the island monthly to observe the species as well as the condition of the island. During their visits, they will observe the in-crease or decrease of the animal popu-lations, signs of trespassing and check for signs of possible invasive species.

Some of the species the team keeps a close watch on are black noddies, frig-ate birds, black fairy terns and white terns. In 2004, when personnel did the

initial biological study of the island, they concluded that Enewetak had a large number of nesting birds. During a recent visit, the team was also able to see signs of turtle nesting at the shore.

“We did see some evidence of nesting. We saw some tracks. … We like to see ev-idence of nesting, and we don’t see that often,” said of KRS Environmental, Safe-ty and Health employee Laure Clark.

One of the protocols before the team follows before arriving on the island is to make sure they do not bringing any-thing invasive with them.

One such issue on the island is the invasive species known as the Yellow Crazy Ant. These ants have been a sig-nificant detriment to the sea turtle and nesting bird population on Enewetak. The team isn’t sure how the ants ended up there.

On the island, the shoreline and inte-rior forest are very different places. The shoreline is pristine and the coral reef is doing well. The island's interior crawls

with wildlife, from a dizzying number of squawking birds announcing visi-tors' presence, to crabs scurrying from their footsteps. Watch where you tread, or you may put your foot into a small mountain of ants.

“When you enter the forest while it is raining you can see the forest floor moving,” said Clark. “Everything was trying to come in for the rain.”

When asked what the future holds for Enewetak and the conservation area, Clark said: “The original plan was only to last five years, and can be cancelled at any time. So long as the funding is there and we have the green light from the RMI, we will continue.”

Kwajalein residents are reminded that access to ECA is strictly controlled. Only authorized personnel are allowed on the island. The conservation status of ECA is U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command's decision. The U.S. Army may elect to use the island for testing if required.

KSC HAUNTS THE WRECKWho said Halloween fun ends in October? More than 50 divers and snorkelers visited the Kwajalein Scuba Club Haunted Wreck Dive Nov. 4 at the Ski Boat Shack. The an-nual event encourages Advanced Open Water divers to dive with a buddy on a sunken Japanese vessel billed as the most haunted wreck in the lagoon.

During the daylight hours of Nov. 4, volunteer divers and helpers assembled spooky decorations and materials to dress the wreck. After nightfall, following a safety briefing provided by KSC Dive Safety Council members, divers and snorkelers braved the pitch-black waters of the lagoon in small groups with the help of a safety line bedecked in lights.

“It’s eerie,” said snorkeler Craig Corey. “All of the sudden it looms out at you and whoa—there’s a wreck there! I had a great time snorkeling.”

Divers encountered skeletal remains of fish, animals and human buccaneers on the wreck, lit by eerie glow of chemi-cal lights. Then, if that wasn’t scary enough, the wreck visi-tors had to find their way back to shore. Following the dive, KSC provided pizza and beverages, and gave away club T-shirts.

"Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers," said event coordinator Kristin Miller. "We could not have done this event without you!"

FORMER U.S. NAVY DUMP REMOVAL ACTION U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll environmental cleanup contractors continue to remove the shoreline metal debris as-sociated with the former U.S. Navy Dump from Glass Beach to the west side of Mt. Olympus. This area includes the metals along the shoreline, the hill between Glass Beach and Shark Pit, and the area between Mt. Olympus and the shoreline. When heavy equipment is on site, the area will be inacces-sible to unauthorized personnel during operations. Addition-ally, due to the possibility of encountering buried munitions during excavation work activities, a hazard fragmentation dis-tance (HFD) zone has been established to protect pedestri-ans, vehicle and boat traffic. Road signage will be established during times when these activities are being performed. If you have questions, please contact USAG-KA Environmen-tal Manger Derek Miller (5-5449) or the KFS Field Manager Sam Tayloe (5-1226).

THE TURKEY TROT


THE THREE R'S OF UXO For your own safety, and the safe-ty of others, remember the 3 Rs. Recognize an item as possible Unexploded Ordnance (UXO); Retreat from the area of the UXO. Report suspected UXO immedi-ately by notifying EOD (5-1433) or CPS (5-4445).

Provide the following informa-tion: Location (building #, GPS, landmarks.) and size (compared to common items like a football or scuba cylinder). Treat UXO like you would treat dangerous sea creatures. Look but do not touch.
