www.stvincent.edu | Specifically designed for advanced high school and first-year college students, the Faith and Reason Catholic College Summer Program offers participants a unique opportunity to come to a richer, deeper understanding of the Catholic faith.
Victorious yet homesick, the Aberdeen Proving Ground specialists who successfully destroyed the Syrian weapons of mass destruction returned to a heroes’ welcome at Washington Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia Sept. 5. The volunteer force with backgrounds in chemistry, chemical engineering and related fields, from APG’s Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, Joint Program Manager for Elimination – a division of the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense – and the Chemical Material Activity, spent the past several months on board the MV Cape Ray container ship in an unprecedented mission to neutralize Syrian chemical weapon components.
The volunteers could not have received a warmer welcome home. ECBC Director Joseph Wienand and
Carmen Spencer, the Joint Program Executive Officer for Chemical and Biological Defense, and Col. Debra Daniels, military deputy to Wienand, led a group of ECBC, JPME and CMA employees, who along with Family members greeted the scientists with banners and cheers as they exited the international arrivals area.
Wienand and Spencer personally greeted and shook the hands of the returnees and their Family members. Wienand said the mission made the world safer.
“A very serious stockpile was eliminated in a way that’s never been done before,” he said. “It was historic and everyone who did this mission and returned today is a hero. This work was dangerous and they did it safely.
“The team trained hard and they remained focused on the mission despite the long separation from their loved ones. They did what no one else could have done. I’m proud to know those guys. Every last one of them.”
Spencer said the historical aspect of the scientist’s accomplishment could not be overstated.
“We have eliminated a whole class of WMD and for the first time in history it was done on a ship,” he said. “These folks coming off the plane today are true heroes and they have made the word a safer place for my children and for my 12 grandchildren. All the accolades go to them and I’m honored to be in their presence. This is the definition of selfless service.”
He said coworkers and friends were just as exited for the families who have been separated since February and he praised the combined efforts of local, national and international players, adding that JPEOCBD looks forward to continuing its worldwide mission.
“It wasn’t just one organization at APG; it was a collaborative effort by a number of organizations and support from the Pentagon,” he said. “JPEOCBD responsibilities already encompass the globe. We’re responsible for the destruction of chemical weapons around the world and we are looking at all of the national capabilities, if called upon by the United Nations, on how the U.S. can assist in ridding the rest of the world of chemical weapons.”
“I’m just proud of them,” said Daniels. “From a Soldier’s perspective, it’s humbling to see them come home to their families.”
Brian Feeney, an ECBC public affairs specialist, said the welcome home preparations were the least they could do. “For all practical purposes, this was a deployment and it feels really good to welcome them back,” he said.
Formerly with the Aberdeen Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (ABCDF) which was responsible for the destruction of the Edgewood Area’s mustard stockpile, Feeney said some of the lessons learned during that process aided the scientists.
“They actually took equipment we had used and miniaturized the process using good old Yankee ingenuity,” he said.
“The significance,” he added, “is that it not only shows ECBC as a leader in developing innovative technologies, it also shows that we’re able to help the nation contribute to getting rid of that entire class of weapons in the world. We’re almost done getting rid of our own chemical weapons and now we’re contributing to other countries doing it too. It’s a historic first. This is something we all can truly feel good about. I am proud of ECBC and proud of our nation’s contribution to world peace.”
Amy Dean, an environmental engineer with JPME said she and her coworkers were excited not only by the scientist’s return but “by the phenomenal job” they’ve done.
“When we designed the system we never envisioned it would be used on a ship. We thought it would be land-based,” she said, adding that modifications had to be made to the original design and that the scientists were able to practice for three months before joining the ship in April.
Due to that, there were few surprises, though through contact with the personnel on the Cape Ray they were able to send additional information when needed, she said.
The heroes
The accomplishment aside, the scientists said they were proud but even happier to reunite with their families.
“I missed my wife terribly, said JPME chemical engineer Brian O’Donnell. A chemical demilitarization specialist for nearly 18 years, O’Donnell led the command post and the project from its inception in 2012. He called the mission “dynamic.”
“Every day brought new challenges. The team worked really well together. They just wanted to do it right and get it done,” he said, noting that his confidence in the skills of the APG crew, all of whom were volunteers, never wavered and the mission was never in doubt. The toughest part, he said, was being away from his family.
“It gave me a new respect for Soldiers,” he said. “It’s a tough way of life.”
O’Donnell’s wife, Janie, agreed.
“I don’t know how people who have to do this on a regular basis do that. From that perspective it was tough and experiencing it gives you a greater appreciation of the Soldiers who are risking their lives for us,” she said.
“We saved a bunch of lives, summarized Mike Wooten, an ECBC chemical engineering technician after he was asked about the mission. “We knew it would be an historic mission and we knew what we were facing; it was just on a boat instead of on land,” he said.
“It was hard being away from the family, living in close quarters, eight people to a room, but we came through it,” he said. “The camaraderie was great. And as for my wife, I missed her a lot and I appreciate her even more.”
Robert Malone, an environmental scientist with CMA for 20 years who’s also been involved with the project since 2012, said the concept of neutralizing chemical weapons on a ship was conceived when efforts to find a host country failed.
“Because everything was compartmentalized we were able to get it to fit on the right ship and we settled on this class ship,” he said. He called the extended stay at sea an “eye-opener.”
“I certainly got a little taste of what Soldiers go through though it was nowhere near as intense,” he said. “But I do have a greater appreciation for their sacrifice and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my family and then getting back to work. We’ve been working 12 hours a day, seven days a week for a couple of months now so I’m looking forward to a slower pace.”
ECBC chemist Brandon Dusick said the mission duration was the longest time he’s spent away from home.
“Coming home feels wonderful but being part of something never done before in history feels good too,” he said.
“It’s fantastic to be back,” said Jason Adamek, an ECBC engineer, adding that he was “on board from start to finish,” and “proud to have played a role in something so significant.”
“This was a great thing to be a part of,” he said. “Give us a few days to sit back and think about what we’ve done. This will take time to process.”
The Army specialists destroyed more than 600 tons of Syria’s chemical weapon stockpile in accordance with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) guidelines while operating in international waters. APG scientists designed the field deployable hydrolysis system (FDHS), and modified for use at sea to neutralize the chemical materials. The hydrolysis system mixed the chemicals with water and sodium hypochlorite bleach, producing a low-level waste that after treatment to reduce acidity was stored in containers on the ship until they could be delivered to waste-treatment facilities. According to government reports, the Syrian chemical cargo consisted of methylphosphonyl difluoride (DF), the main precursor to Sarin and other nerve agents, and 20 tons of mustard, a blister agent.
