Third Port: pivotal point for Army transportation
February 28, 2017 — Crisp air whips around at the mouth of Skiffes Creek on the James River, as a small tug boat glides along the black water, easing to a halt alongside a pier. U.S. Army Soldiers jump out of the watercraft and begin throwing ropes to each other, securing the boat to the pier at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Feb. 22, 2017. This 40-acre pier complex, known as Third Port, houses U.S. Army vessels in a deep-water port, providing safe harbor for the watercraft fleet. Although mostly used for training personnel in vessel operations and cargo loading, Third Port is an operational pier for the U.S. Army to train in deployment readiness and recovery. ... MORE

MWD: Powering through new partnership
February 15, 2017 — For Howard and Rony, being selected to participate in the Police Week competition at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, when no one thought they could do it, wasn’t easy. There were 30 other teams, most of whom U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Benjamin Howard, 633rd Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, assumed had more experience than him and his MWD-partner of four months, Rony. The pair from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, had challenges in the beginning of the competition, which involved detection, one of Rony’s shortcomings. Howard said he was nervous about how he and Rony were doing, but found a stride of confidence when he reflected on the milestones they had made since their initial training. ... MORE

Protect the power: Creating an energy-aware culture
December 14, 2016 — In one day, an Air Force Base can spend $29,863 dollars in electricity and natural gas to operate. To lower operational costs, the U.S. Air Force Energy Assurance Program has placed energy as a critical component of all operations, encouraging smart energy use and energy efficient behaviors among bases. This year’s energy action slogan, “Protect the Power,” aims to encourage Airmen to transform the way they use and see energy. “The energy program is a team effort and we need everyone to be working towards energy efficiency,” said Kevin Rasmussen, 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron consulting energy engineer. “We want to make conserving energy a habit for Airmen.” ...

Weekly contractors, like Roderick Wyche Sr., grounds maintainer, are responsible for maintaining over 2,400 acres of land across Langley Air Force Base to include the flightline, buildings and residential areas. ...
