Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!


001419.  Eielson veteran remembers days as POW

by Capt. Don Lewis
354th Fighter Wing

EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska (AFPN) -- For the typical airman entering
today's Air Force, the concept of war is impersonal at best.   The closest
some of them will ever get to looking an enemy in the eye is across the line
of scrimmage in an intramural football game.

With Desert Storm a decade behind, more than half the Air Force has yet to
witness a massive deployment to foreign soil.   When people do deploy, they
are likely to never hear a shot fired in anger.   In those incredibly rare
circumstances where lethal force becomes necessary, technology now allows
for engagement of the enemy from miles away, where targets are blips on a
screen.   For this, a debt is owed to those who served before us.

They served when there was no clear military superpower.   When promising to
give their lives for their country meant the odds were pretty good that they
would have to do just that.  They didn't worry about how much per diem they
would come home with in their pockets; they worried about coming home at
all.  Some of them didn't.   Those who did come home changed forever.

It is important time is taken to recognize these people.   As a nation, some
of them are mourned on Memorial Day, some of them are cheered on Veterans'
Day, and now, on Sept. 15, remember some of them on POW/MIA Day.   Some of
those people will remain a memory forever.   Some of them remember with us.


Jim Spohn remembers.

"For the longest time," he explained, "I tried to keep it out of my mind,
but I can't.   It seems like yesterday.   I mostly don't talk about it, but
the doctors say it's good to.   So I talk to (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and
the (American) legion members.  Veterans can relate."

Spohn is the superintendent of information management here, spending his
days managing the Base Information Transfer Center, publications, forms and
records office.   Few of those who work side-by-side with him in the 354th
Communications Squadron know the depth of his service.   One of 26 American
servicemen who escaped from the Viet Cong, Spohn has a unique appreciation
of POW/MIA Day.

In June of 1965, Spohn was assigned to the Army's 833rd Ordnance Company
near Heydoc, Korea.   While there, he deployed to the 1st Cavalry along the
demilitarized zone.   A demolitions expert, he went along with this unit
when they moved to South Vietnam to plant explosives.   This two-week
deployment turned into a three-month ordeal.

"We'd been in the country less than 72 hours when we entered an area that
was just cleared by the infantry," Spohn said.  "There were 12 of us with
M-1s strapped to our backs, not one of us trained in guerrilla warfare.
The Viet Cong had a tremendous network of tunnels through the countryside.
They're fairly small people, so they could squeeze through the smallest
holes.   We never saw them until they were on top of us -- 50 to 60 of them
all at once."

Though Spohn and his squad fought valiantly, they were hopelessly
outnumbered, and 10 of the 12 perished in hand-to-hand combat.  Bloodied and
wounded, Spohn was taken captive with one other soldier.   "He died after
the first day from his wounds," Spohn said.

The only ally left to Spohn was his savvy, and he began using it right away.
"I thought I was going to die, that they were going to try to get whatever
they wanted to know from me, and then kill me.   There was no way I was
going to give them anything, and I wanted to have the last laugh.   I grew
up knowing how to speak some German.   So that's what I spoke from the
moment I was captured.   That discouraged them.   Here was this guy in a
U.S.  Army uniform who apparently didn't speak a word of English.   They had
a few who did speak English, and I could tell they didn't know what to do
with me."

Spohn's captors took him to a camp where he was imprisoned with other
Vietnamese captives, but no Americans.   He doesn't like to describe the
details of his treatment, except as "inhumane."

"They gave me a flimsy pajama-like top and straw shoes, which we were only
allowed to wear when we were marched.   The marching was a treat, because
most of the time we were bound with our wrists behind our backs, staked to
the ground, and tied at the ankles and staked there as well.   At one point,
I was left like that for eight days.   They'd file and chisel on our teeth
and shove things under our finger and toe nails to try to get us to talk,
but I stuck to the German.   Our rations were rotten, stinking rice,
crawling with bugs.   We got that about every three days, and after three
days of nothing, you ate it.   I weighed 160 pounds at the time of my
capture, and 98 pounds when I came to in the hospital."

Spohn's captors beat him regularly, determined to get some information out
of him.   But as time passed, they became more careless with their prisoner.
One night, approximately three months after his capture, Spohn got the
opportunity of a lifetime, and he capitalized.

"It was particularly dark that night, and the rope around my wrists was
rotting to the point where I knew I could break it.   I started making
noises like I was sick and dying.   One of the guards came over alone and
started to beat me.   He bent down close to me at one point, and in one
movement, I broke my hands free and, though I was very weak, hit him so hard
in the chest I thought my arm would go right through him.    He collapsed
and died right next to me without a sound."

Spohn grabbed his weapon and ran into the jungle.   "The gun was useless,
but I didn't know that until I inspected it later.   It was inoperative and
had no bullets.   He only had it for intimidation and for beating us with."


Disoriented and fatigued, Spohn wandered north, thinking he was headed
south, hoping against hope to come across friendly forces.   "I didn't make
much progress," he explained, "I laid low during the days and moved at
night.   It's amazing how little things you learn growing up can pay off
when you need them to."

Spohn grew up on a farm in Minnesota, and slaughtered his own animals.  "It
translated well when I was able to catch a jungle rat or mouse.  It may
sound gross ... but when you're starving, a rat can taste like a steak if
you know how to gut it properly using only your fingers and teeth."

Free for almost two weeks, Spohn ran into a Korean patrol.  Knowing the Viet
Cong feared them, he laid low fearing the Koreans would mistake him for an
enemy soldier.  A few hours later that decision paid off.

"I heard a patrol speaking English - I think they were Australian.   When
one walked close enough to me, I reached out and pulled him into my hiding
place by the ankle.    For the first time in what seemed like ages, I spoke
English.  I told him who I was and what had happened to me and I hoped to
God he was on our side, and then I let him go.  His patrol had noticed that
he had disappeared and were searching for him.  I let him go and they all
came running with their hands on the triggers when he popped up out of the
hole.  They pulled me out of the hole and said they would take care of me.
That's the last thing I remember before I passed out."

Spohn awoke days later in a hospital in Japan, where he received the Purple
Heart.  "That one really means something to me.  It means I spilled my blood
on the ground for our country."

The Purple Heart recipient left the Army in 1968 and enlisted in the Air
Force in 1971.  He retired as a senior master sergeant in 1989.

Spohn still carries a few scars from his POW experience.  The beatings
permanently damaged his nose, and breathing is sometimes labored.  He
contracted tuberculosis and hepatitis, "but they have medicine for that."

Perhaps the most significant change to Jim Spohn, though, is an appreciation
for his country that few can comprehend.

"I will never forget the view when the fog parted and I could see Seattle
from the airplane that brought us back from Korea.  Funny, but the roofs are
what struck me.   All I'd seen for over a year were mud huts.  Standing
there, looking at America through the clouds ... it was so beautiful."

His return, however, like that of many returnees, would prove somewhat
bittersweet.

"We arrived back in the states on July 6 of 1966 and what we had waiting for
us when we left the plane and cleared customs was something I also would not
forget.  War protesters called us cruel names and threw things at us like
rotten eggs, etc.  We let the riot police take care of them."

Despite the enemy's brutality, and the misguided contempt from his own
countrymen, the former Air Force personnel superintendent remains positive
and humble about his experience.

"I was at the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.  Fortunately, my time
wasn't up yet.  All I did was survive -- there are people who did a lot more
for our country than I did."

Spohn asks the rest of us to remember those people with him on days like
(POW/MIA day), especially those who never came home.

"Even if it's just for a few seconds, remember who made the ultimate
sacrifice for us.  There's so very, very many who did.  Thanks to them,
every day is a holiday."  (Courtesy of Pacific Air Forces News Service)

001417.  Remains of U.S. Servicemen recovered in North Korea

WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Remains believed to be those of nine Americans missing
in action will be repatriated Sept. 15, during National Prisoner of
War/Missing in Action Recognition Day.  In a formal ceremony at Pyongyang,
North Korea, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for POW/Missing Personnel
Affairs Robert L. Jones will receive the remains, believed to be those of
U.S. servicemen missing in action from the Korean War.

The remains will be flown on a U.S. Air Force aircraft from Pyongyang to
Yokota Air Base, Japan, escorted by Jones and a uniformed U.S. honor guard.
A United Nations Command (UNC) repatriation ceremony will be held in Yokota,
then the remains will be flown to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii.  Following
a U.S. Pacific Command ceremony there, they will be transferred to the U.S.
Army Central Identification Laboratory, Hawaii for forensic examination and
positive identification.

A joint U.S.-North Korean investigation team recovered the remains from
former battlefields in the North Korean counties of Unsan and Kujang,
approximately 60 miles north of Pyongyang.  The 20-person U.S. team is
composed primarily of specialists from CILHI.

This recovery operation is the 15th in North Korea since 1996.  Two more are
scheduled for this year, with the fifth operation to conclude on Veterans
Day, Nov. 11, 2000.  Joint U.S. - North Korean teams have recovered 35 sets
of remains so far this year, and 77 since the joint operations began.  Five
of these have been positively identified, while many others are in the final
stages of the forensic identification process.

Of the 88,000 U.S. servicemembers missing in action from all conflicts, more
than 8,100 are from the Korean War.



001422.  Services work to boost number of Hispanic recruits

By Army Staff Sgt. Kathleen T. Rhem
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- As America becomes more diverse, the military services
are working hard to keep pace and offer opportunities for everyone.

The services are working particularly hard to increase the number of
Hispanic recruits.  The Army, for instance, added more than $10 million to
its recruiting budget this year for advertising aimed at Hispanic audiences,
said Army Maj. Kathleen Johnson, chief of the Army Recruiting Command's
Local Advertising and Promotions Division at Fort Knox, Ky.

All the services are targeting advertising to markets with high Hispanic
populations.  They're running ads in Spanish and English in publications
with high Hispanic readership, as well as running Spanish ads on several
major Spanish-speaking television networks in the United States and Puerto
Rico.

Military recruiting representatives noted the Spanish-language ads aren't
necessarily targeting the potential recruits, most of whom have fine English
skills.  Rather, they're intended for family members and educators who
influence young peoples' decisions to join a military service.

"We're more likely to encounter 'influencers' -- moms, dads, coaches,
educators -- who communicate predominantly in Spanish," said Master Sgt. Tom
Clements, a spokesman for Air Force Recruiting Service at Randolph Air Force
Base, Texas.  "Annual surveys of our basic trainees say the vast majority of
our recruits still discuss their options with family members," he added,
highlighting the importance of reaching both the influencers and potential
recruits.

Most of the people entering the military today were educated in American
schools, but that's not necessarily the case among their parents and older
family members, said Marine Staff Sgt. Bruce Katz, advertising chief for
Marine Corps Recruiting Command at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va.

The Army also advertises in Spanish "to be respectful of the Hispanic
culture," Johnson added.  In addition, some of the services have
Spanish-language versions of their recruiting pamphlets and literature, and
all literature is "designed to show our cultural mix," said Master Sgt. Juan
Demiranda, an Air Force Recruiting Command account executive.

Service representatives also participate in conferences of major Hispanic
professional and cultural organizations.  They give presentations, and they
set up booths so interested individuals can meet with Hispanic service
members and learn about opportunities in the military.

Military representatives also participate in the annual conferences of such
organizations as the League of United Latin American Citizens, the Hispanic
Engineering National Achievement Awards Convention, the United Council of
LaRaza and the Mexican American Engineers Society.

"Through our involvement with these organizations and the opportunities
through their national conferences and conventions, the Marine Corps is able
to present what it has to offer a young American of Hispanic descent," Katz
said.  His Air Force and Army counterparts echoed the sentiment.

"The Army is proud to attempt to connect to the American public at this
grass-roots level," Johnson said.

The Army, to attract nonnative-English speakers, helps some recruits learn
basic English before they report to basic training.  Most are from Puerto
Rico, but Army Capt. Ed Weissing, commander of Company E, Defense Language
Institute English Language Center at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, said
the center currently has students who speak Korean and even Ukrainian.

Weissing explained the program's purpose is to improve recruits' English
skills to the level they need to be successful in military basic and
technical training.  He said the program's 500 students per year take an
average of 14 weeks' training to reach that level of competency.

The other services require recruits to be fluent in English before
enlistment.  "So many of our career fields are so very technical that
English proficiency is really very important," Clements said.

Katz noted once recruits are accepted for enlistment, "they're going to be
communicated to in English."

The Army and Navy also try to place available Spanish-speaking recruiters
into vacancies in areas with high populations of Spanish speakers.  "Our
recruiters say it's always more effective to be able to communicate well
with somebody," Johnson said.  "When you're dealing with influencers it
really helps to be able to speak their language."

Hispanic Americans comprise 11.7 percent of the population.  The services'
efforts are paying off in numbers and increased diversity of the force.

The Navy and Marine Corps lead the pack.  So far in fiscal 2000, 15.5
percent and 14.9 percent of their recruits, respectively, have been
Hispanic.  Hispanics have totaled 10.6 percent of this year's Army recruits
and 7.4 percent of the Air Force recruits.

"The encouraging news is we've about doubled our percentage of Hispanic
recruits in the past seven or eight years," Clements said.



001423.  Air Force Weather Agency wins AFA award

OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. (AFPN) -- The Air Force Weather Agency here, was
awarded the Theodore Von Karman Award Sept. 13 by the Air Force Association
for its outstanding scientific contributions to national defense.

The Air Force Weather Agency was named winner of this prestigious award for
superb contributions and support during Kosovo and Bosnia; continuing
excellence in implementing a total reengineering; and the transition of the
55th Space Weather Squadron from the Air Force Space Command to AFWA.

The award, named for Dr. Theodore von Karman, a Master Scientist and Aero
Engineer, was presented to Colonel Charles French, Air Force Weather Agency
commander during the Secretary of the Air Force's luncheon held in
Washington D.C.

"The men and women of the Air Force Weather Agency work hard every day to
successfully accomplish a difficult mission," French said.   "I accepted the
award on their behalf; they truly are the ones who deserve the credit."

AFWA, the largest meteorology computing center in the world, greatly
improved flight safety, and mission effectiveness of low-level flights in
rough terrain and poor weather. As a result, Air Force Weather achieved
initial strike mission forecast accuracy of 93% for the first-day air
strikes during operation Allied Force.

"Commanders knew how and when weather would affect combat operations because
of the success of the entire Air Force Weather team," French said.

In 1999, AFWA produced more than 395,000 weather products every 24 hours,
and issued 32,000 warnings for 165 locations with 94% accuracy, not only
saving human lives but also protecting billions of dollars in resources.

The transition of the 55th Space Weather Squadron to AFWA, with its
extensive computing power, will allow more products and improve forecast
frequency and accuracy.  AFWA contributed to National defense with greatly
improved and expanded weather support for customers ranging from combat
forces to National Programs.

"I am proud of the men and women of the Air Force Weather Agency, not only
because they earned this award, but because of their daily commitment to
excellence.  The men and women of AFWA not only want to get the job done,
they take great pride in doing it right -- in doing it best," French said.



001421.  Hickam opens skies to Offutt observation unit

by Senior Airman Bobby Yettman
15th Air Base Wing public affairs

HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii (AFPN) -- An OC-135B Open Skies from Offutt
Air Force Base, Neb., visited here Sept. 12 using the flightline here on a
one-day mission as part of the Open Skies Treaty.

The plane and its passengers, 26 Air Force, eight Ukrainians and two
Canadian observers landed here to perform an Open Skies Treaty mission.  The
treaty is designed to allow countries to collect information on each other's
military forces and industrial activities.  Aircrews fly observation
missions through out the world using a series of aircraft-mounted cameras to
photograph the area below.

Capt. Jason Czech, Open Skies treaty compliance officer for the 15th
Operations Group here, said the treaty crew performed an observation mission
around the Hawaiian Islands.

"The main objectives of the treaty are to promote openness between the
countries and to build confidence and security," he said.  "They flew around
all the islands on their way out Wednesday."

To accomplish its observation mission, the OC-135B is equipped with four
cameras -- two which arc slightly left and right at a 32 degree angle and
two straight vertical cameras, one for low altitudes and one for high
altitudes.

The cameras are all run from the control station in the main body of the
plane.  There are 27 countries in the Open Skies treaty.  After the Hickam
visit, Krimminger said the next stop is the 'Open Skies' over Moscow.

001420.  Eielson's runway re-opens after resurfacing

by 2nd Lt. Joni Grunewald
354th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska (AFPN) -- After more than four months and
$12.5 million in construction costs, 9,000 feet of runway has been
resurfaced with concrete and Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska's flight line
officially re-opened Sept. 13.

The base's A-10 Thunderbolt IIs and F-16 Fighting Falcons, which have been
flying out of Fort Wainwright, Alaska, returned Sept. 15.  The KC-135
Stratotankers from the 168th Air Refueling Wing returned Sept. 14 from Fort
Wainwright and the Fairbanks International Airport.

Aside from making life easier for aircrews and mechanics, the move back to
Eielson AFB also brings relief to the wing's security forces squadron.

"Having our troops guard resources at Fort Wainwright, FIA and Eielson, has
been a challenge for our squadron," said Master Sgt. Sean Kazmar, 354th
Fighter Wing Security Forces Squadron police services superintendent. "We
look forward to having our force back at Eielson."

"The project went extremely well and it will be nice for our airmen to be
working back at Eielson," said Col. Larry Reseter, 354th FW vice commander.
"The support we received from the Fort Wainwright leadership and all their
people was exactly what we needed, they deserve a lot of the credit in
making this a very successful relocation."

Work is continuing on a new $19 million fuel hydrant system, an underground
conduit for delivering fuel from the south end of the airfield."  The fuel
hydrant project will continue until about October 2001, but the critical
airfield taxiway and ramp portion of the work ended before the jets returned
from Fort Wainwright.

Along with the new runway and fuel system, $1.3 million were spent
renovating the control tower.  Upgrades include heating, ventilation and air
conditioning; an enhanced tower voice switch and the console which carries
its display; fire suppression system; wiring; secure entry system; plumbing;
emergency egress system; and carpet and stairs.

The asphalt pulled up from the center section of the runway was used by
road-repair teams to fill in holes and cover rutted dirt roads.
Concrete was used to replace the asphalt section of the runway because it
requires less maintenance and lasts longer, according to Richard Colburn,
354th FW Civil Engineering Squadron chief, base development.  (Courtesy of

001418.  Medical Exercise in Mauritania

WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Approximately 60 U.S. Air Force, Navy and Army medics
assigned to Europe, along with medics from Germany, The Netherlands and the
United Kingdom, will participate in Exercise MEDFLAG 00-2, held in the
Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Africa, Sept. 15 to 26.

MEDFLAG exercises are joint-combined medical training and civil assistance
exercises conducted two or three times a year by the U.S. European Command.
These exercises provide medical training and an interchange of medical
information and techniques with host nation medical practitioners in African
nations.

The multinational team will conduct classes in basic field sanitation, food
inspection and hygiene procedures.  Additionally, they will administer eye
and dental care to those in need in the local community.

The objective of the exercise is to promote regional stability by
strengthening cooperation between Mauritania and NATO countries through
combined exercises.  This is a humanitarian operation designed to build
mutual trust, confidence and friendship with the nation of Mauritania.

Detachment and 30th Medical Brigade, both based in Heidelberg, Germany, who
will oversee the conduct of the exercise.  The 93rd Medical Battalion, also
based in Heidelberg, will provide a dental team and linguists, and the 67th
Combat Support Hospital from Wuerzburg, Germany, will provide a medical
support team.

Eye care teams are coming from U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Europe Regional
Medical Command, based at Ramstein AB, Germany and Heidelberg, respectively.

U.S. Navy Europe's Naval Environmental and Preventative Medicine Unit, based
in Sigonella, Italy, will provide a four-person team to assist with public
health training.  NAVEUR will also provide a team of dentists from Sigonella
and Naples, Italy.

U.S. Army Contracting Command, Europe, based in Seckenheim, Germany, will
provide a contracting officer, and the 226th Medical Battalion from Miesau,
Germany, will provide support with communications and supply teams.
The 96th Civil Affairs Battalion, based in Fort Bragg, N.C., will provide a
civil affairs team to serve as a liaison with the people of the local
community.
Military medical teams from Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
are providing veterinary care, medical administration and technical support
for the exercise.

Mauritania is bringing approximately 130 medical students and 10 medical
professionals, including preventative medicine personnel, dentists and eye
surgeons.

Medical training for the Mauritanian students will cover a number of topics
in two courses, including basic field sanitation, food inspection and
hygiene procedures.  The courses will include classroom instruction and
practical, hands on exercises.

001416.  "Purple suiters" take on the NFL at Military Appreciation Day

WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- The New York Jets have challenged the U.S. Armed Forces
to launch an assault on their game against the Buffalo Bills on September
17, as the National Football League franchise hosts "Military Appreciation
Day" at Giant's Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

In response, the Defense Department has called on America's armed forces to
meet the challenge.  The joint service, often referred to as "purple suit,"
battle plan includes jets zooming over the Meadowlands, paratroopers jumping
on to mid-field, a special coin toss, and a unique military halftime show.

As part of the pre-game maneuvers, the U.S. Military Academy Band from West
Point will play the National Anthem as a joint Service Color Guard from the
Military District of Washington posts the colors in front of 78,000 Jets
fans.  The Air Force will then join the pre-game salute with a formation
fly-over of A-10 "Warthog" attack jets from the Maryland Air National Guard.

The aerial assault will continue with a four-person "purple suit" parachute
team from Special Operations Command headquarters, MacDill Air Force Base,
Fla., jumping into Giants Stadium from a Marine Corps Reserve aircraft high
over the Meadowlands.  Their mission: deliver the game coin.  The Navy will
then have the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy James L. Herdt take the
handoff from the paratroopers and help conduct the coin toss with a special
Korean War commemorative coin.

Outside the stadium, uniformed servicemembers will be conducting an
encirclement maneuver with recruiters from all branches, including the U.S.
Coast Guard, setting up recruiting booths at stadium gates, and greeting
Jets fans as they arrive for the game.

The final assault of the day will be made by 40 soldiers of the 3rd U.S.
Infantry Regiment, "The Old Guard" from Fort Myer, Va.  They will be the
centerpiece of a unique half-time show highlighting the courage and
sacrifices of U.S. armed forces during the Korean War.  The West Point band
will provide music to support this joint service tribute as Marine Corps
aviators fly overhead.  Year 2000 marks the first year of a three-year
commemoration of the Korean War.
