The Drum Dance, originated from the foundations of Buddhist Dance, starting slow with the “Jajin-mori” tempo gradually increasing in tempo and rhythm to “Whi-mori.” The dance, often consid-
ered one of the most difficult drum dances, requires quick skill and rapid techniques in drumming. The performance was part of a festival at Camp Humphreys. — U.S. Army Photo By Peter Yu

MP Blotter
The following entries were excerpted
from the military police blotters. These
entries may be incomplete and do not
imply guilt or innocence.
To safeguard the health and well-being of all Soldiers, the U.S. Army implemented the
Post-Deployment Health Reassessment, or PDHRA, in January 2006. A Commander’s
Program, the PDHRA gives Soldiers an opportunity to address any health concerns that
may emerge following redeployment. It is available to all Soldiers -- Active and Reserve
Component -- who have returned from combat.
“Returning home and settling back into a routine can be filled with excitement and
discovery. The U.S. Army has learned that as time passes, Soldiers may start facing health
concerns that they may not have noticed before,” explains LTC Vinette Gordon, who leads
the U.S. Army PDHRA program.
The Reason for PDHRA
Research shows that proactively identifying these health concerns strongly impacts the
long-term health and well-being of Soldiers and their Families. The U.S. Army wants to help
Soldiers address their health concerns before they develop into more serious problems.
How to Complete the PDHRA
Soldiers who have returned from a combat deployment since 10 March 2005, must
complete the PDHRA. In most cases, the PDHRA takes place 90 to 180 days after
redeployment. Commanders will notify Soldiers to participate in the PDHRA process,
and Soldiers can log on to Army Knowledge Online to check their PDHRA status under
PAID ADVERTISING
“My Medical Readiness.”
To complete the PDHRA, Soldiers fill out DD Form 2900 and speak one-on-one with
a health care provider. The health care provider will refer Soldiers for further evaluation
and treatment, if necessary. Most Soldiers will complete the PDHRA as part of a unit-
scheduled event, or through an appointment or walk-in basis.
Battlemind II Training
As a part of PDHRA, Soldiers also complete Battlemind II training. Battlemind II builds
on skills that helped Soldiers survive in combat. The video-based training shows Soldiers
how to adapt these skills now that they have returned home. For more information or to
view the Battlemind II training video, visit www.battlemind.org

United States Forces Korea Veterinary Food Inspectors and DeCA personnel have
identified Banquet Brand Frozen Beef Pot Pie Products produced by ConAgra Foods
potentially contaminated with Salmonella in commissaries on the Korean peninsula.
The beef pot pie is an addition to the original recall. This item has been removed from
commissary shelves as a safety precaution. Consumers should check any Banquet Brand
Frozen Beef Pot Pie products they have at home against this list. This item must be returned
to the commissary from which it was purchased for a refund or should be disposed of
immediately.
No cases of Salmonella infections from food have been reported on the peninsula.
Veterinary Food Inspectors and DeCA personnel were rapidly notified by the U.S.
Army Veterinary Command of this potentially contaminated food item and responded
immediately to remove it from commissary shelves. Risk of foodborne Salmonella infection
remains low as long as consumers identify any contaminated food they may have purchased
and return it to the commissary or dispose of it.

Soldiers and Family Members had a unique opportunity to participate in the only athletic activity in which children are invited to participate with their parents. The fifth annual Volksmarch
was held at USAG-Casey Oct. 13 at the Hanson Field House. “A Volksmarch in Germany is a walk through the mountainside,” said Jim Williams, sports director for USAG-Casey.
“Volksmarches usually coincide with the Oktoberfest celebration. Instead of having running events and bike races, we thought we would do just a 5-kilometer walk around the perimeter
of USAG-Casey.”A Volksmarch is about much more than a foot race or a sporting event. “A Volksmarch is a walk with friends and associates,” Williams said. “In a run, you are running
against the clock. Here children are welcome and we even have awards for children. We give awards to men, women, and children, so we encourage everyone to come out and partici-
pate.” The Area I Volksmarch is the only event where children are invited to participate with adults. “This is our third year doing a Volksmarch,” Williams said. “In the future we will have
more events to include children.”All total, 14 adults participated in the march and awards were given for first and second places.— U.S. Army Photo By Jim Cunningham
