This four-panel photo illustrates the sequence of operations by a spill response operating team (SROT) in deploying oil spill containment boom from the offshore platform Ellen near Long Beach, California during a training activity. The orange boom is initially stored on the platform in a tight coil. When needed, platform personnel lift the boom and place it into the water. Next, a response vessel hooks the package and unwinds the boom to prepare it for deployment. Two response vessels then connect to each end of the containment boom and tow it in a U-shaped configuration to simulate collecting an oil spill. Once the training is completed, the boom is rewound in a tight coil and stored back on the platform. BSEE Preparedness Analysts from the Oil Spill Preparedness Division (OSPD) regularly inspect these types of equipment and observe industry training and exercise activities to ensure compliance with regulations and to monitor the overall vigor of the oil spill preparedness and response community.

The Sam Board(tm) is a WiFi connectivity solution for a tower site. It is a pre-packaged, standard tower board solution that allows Inveneo to separate the board design skill from the board deployment skill. Configurations for each onboard device are generated by a network design team, and complete Sam Boards are passed to deployment teams prior to installation. This allows us to quickly roll out new network locations using multiple in-country teams.
The Sam Board fits either in the telecom cabinet or in an outdoor enclosure. It's double layer design is very compact since the inside of a telecom cabinet usually has very limited space. When the board can't fit inside the cabinet, we have an outdoor weather proof enclosure that can be installed independent of the tower cabinet although the Sam Board can still receive power from it.
The board hosts the following devices:
1. Tower router
2. Managed switch for VLANs to be created and managed
3. Power controller/converter receives -48volt power from the tower cabinet, and runs it through a electronic fuse which protects rest of equipment on board. It also allows for remote power cycling of all the connected devices.
4. DC power strip connects the power controller to the devices on the board including the wifi gear mounted on the tower.
5. PoE injectors power devices using ethernet cable
The board powers a full WiFi antenna tower setup, including a number of configurations. One common example is 2 point-to-point WiFi dishes (one receiving internet and the other sending it off) and 4 local area distribution sector antennas. This equipment is mounted high on the tower and relays data to Sam Board router and switch that ties the tower to the rest of the wide area network.
The Sam Board is named for Sam Perales, who is proudly showing off his creation in the photo.

A U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) organized Africa Deployment Assistance Partnership Team (ADAPT) recently trained, and for the first time ever, certified 25 soldiers of the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) as C-130 aircraft load planners in Entebbe, Uganda.
A five-person team, led by Gordon Christensen of Army Africa’s G-4 Mobility Division, completed Phase III training with UPDF soldiers Aug. 27 in Entebbe, Uganda, said John Hanson, chief of the G-4 Policy and Programs Branch.
“This was the first actual air load certification we’ve done, of all the previous ADAPT engagements,” Hanson said. “That’s what makes it unique.”
Two weeks of classroom instruction and hands-on training enabled 25 of 31 students to earn U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command Form 9 certification, significantly augmenting the Uganda land force’s air deployment capability, while developing greater interoperability with U.S. military forces, Hanson said.
The ADAPT program, developed to enhance the force projection capabilities of African militaries, is managed by the USARAF G-4 staff. Its aim is to bridge the gap between limited deployment capacity and the need to provide forces in support of peacekeeping or humanitarian relief operations, Hanson said.
“We’re building capacity for people to deploy, to do their own missions,” he said.
Even when the training doesn’t lead to actual U.S. Air Force certification, as it did this time in Uganda, it contributes to an enhanced deployment capacity for the land force involved, Hanson said.
“That’s the intent. They can’t do the certification, but they can continue to train their own people. Then we back off and they continue to do that,” he said.
The program is a Title 22 tactical logistics engagement funded by the U.S. Department of State, and focuses on African countries that contribute troops to peacekeeping operations, Hanson said.
Training is executed in four installments in order to create a long-term, phased approach to building deployment capacity, Hanson said. Instructors take students from a general orientation to tactical deployment principles to an advanced level of practical proficiency.
Instructors for the UPDF course were sourced using the Request For Forces (RFF) process, Hanson said.
Christensen was accompanied U.S. Army Capt. Jedmund Greene of 21st Theater Support Command’s 16th Sustainment Brigade, based in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and three Air Force noncommissioned officers: Tech. Sgt. Venus Washington, Robbins Air Force Base, Ga.; Tech. Sgt. Byran Quinn, Pope Air Force Base, N.C.; and Senior Master Sgt. Anthony D. Tate of the Illinois Air National Guard.
“The training helped to strengthen the relationship with our Ugandan partners, and also helped them build a self-sustaining deployment capacity,” Greene said. “I hope 21st TSC can increase its support to USARAF logistics theater security cooperation events in the future.”
Army Africa’s G-4 staff is presently working to synchronize ADAPT with the Africa Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) program. A proof of concept joint training was conducted with ACOTA in Rwanda earlier this year, combining tactical- and support-staff training in logistics with the more complex operational techniques of force deployment and mobility, Hanson said.
The Rwanda training demonstrated the feasibility of combining available U.S. government resources to achieve the most efficient and focused effort to advance common foreign policy objectives with U.S. partners in Africa, he said.
To date, ADAPT missions have been funded for eight African countries. Previous training sessions have been conducted in Rwanda, Ghana and Burkina Faso as well as Uganda, and the number is likely to grow in coming years, Hanson said.
“The programs were identified as being of interest to several other countries during the Army Africa Theater Army Security Cooperation Conference, held in Vicenza in August,” Hanson said.
The next planned ADAPT mission is for Phase I training in Botswana, scheduled for the first quarter of 2011, he said.

HMS Naiad (F39) was a Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy (RN). Like the rest of the class, Naiad was named after a figure of mythology. Naiad was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders of Scotstoun. She was launched on the 4th November 1963 and commissioned on the 15th March 1965.
In 1966, Naiad became the leader of the Northern Ireland Squadron and subsequently deployed to the Far East and South America. In 1970, Naiad deployed to the Far East, and while there, participated in the Beira Patrol, designed to prevent oil reaching the landlocked Rhodesia via the then Portuguese colony of Mozambique. She performed her second patrol the following year. The Beira Patrol would be a regular deployment for the RN until 1975.
In January 1973, Naiad began her modernisation that included her one twin 4.5-in gun being replaced by the Australian designed Ikara anti-submarine warfare (ASW) missile system. The modernisation was completed in 1975. The following year, Naiad undertook a Fishery Protection Patrol during the Third Cod War, and while there, was rammed by the Icelandic gunboat Tyr causing some hull damage. In 1977, Naiad, like many other Leanders, took part in the last Fleet Review, so far, of the Royal Navy, and which took place at Spithead in celebration of HM the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Naiad was positioned in the middle of Brighton and her sister-ship Andromeda. In 1979, Naiad deployed to the Far East once again.
In 1981, Naiad deployed to the Mediterranean. In 1983, Naiad began a refit at Devonport Dockyard which was completed in 1984. In 1985, Naiad returned to the Mediterranean, as part of the NATO multi-national squadron Naval On-call Force of the Mediterranean (NAVOCFORMED), the predecessor of the Standing Naval Force Mediterranean (STANAVFORMED). The following year, Naiad joined the Standing Naval Force Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT), another NATO multi-national squadron. In April 1987, Naiad decommissioned and in 1989 was used as a static trials ship for weapons testing. In September 1990, Naiad was sunk as a target.
