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

Post-Deployment Health Reassesment


safeguards Soldier health, wellness
Special to The Morning Calm Weekly

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
To learn more about PDHRA, visit http://fhp.osd.mil/pdhrainfo or the MTF website,
if available.

USFK updates pot pie recall


Special to The Morning Calm Weekly

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.

5th Annual Volksmarch presses forward at Casey

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

Humphreys Garrison Soldiers, Family


Members enjoy Korean culture tour
by Stacy Ouellette
USAG-H Pubic Affairs Office
Sixty Soldiers, Family Members and Civilian employees recently ventured out on a free
community relations tour sponsored by Anseong City.
The tour was designed to provide U.S. visitors to the Republic of Korea an opportunity
to experience the city of Anseong and attractions, which is in driving distance of USAG
Humphreys.
“I’d encourage everyone to come and go out on these tours. I was here in 1996 and didn’t
see much of Korea. On this tour, I was able to see plenty, have two great meals and it was
for free. You just can’t beat it,” said Chief Warrant Officer Brian J. Pendley, 3rd Military
Intelligence Battalion safety officer.
Participants on this tour visited the Anseong Machum Museum, which provides an
in-depth history of their well-known brass ware. Through exhibits and relics, visitors can
unravel the making of brass ware.
Additionally, the group learned about the five agricultural products Anseong is known
for -- Korean pears, King grapes, tender beef, ginseng and rice. Other attractions on the
tour included two dance shows and the popular Namsadang-Nori, which dancers perform
in a circle with instruments and ribbons circling around their heads.
“For Soldiers who are hanging out in the barracks and not sure of what to do off-post,
this is a great way to get out. The staff escorting our group was helpful, friendly and kept
us informed throughout the day. There’s no issue with translations and the bus takes you
around to each spot,” said Pendley.

As part of the afternoon entertainment, the group watched traditional Korean dance per-
formances at the Taepyung-Mu Training Center. — U.S. Army Photo By Stacy Ouellette.

(Above) The fan dance can be considered the most popular of all of the Korean traditional
dances. The dance developed from the ceremonial dances which used elaborate fans. The fan
dance is accentuated even more with the beautiful formations created by the dancers using the
colorfully decorated bamboo fans. (Below) Pungmul instruments can make various and unique
melodies and rhythms. In general, this performance is an exciting activity which really reaches
the spectators. — U.S. Army Photos By Peter Yu.

USAG Humphreys recognizes October


as Domestic Abuse Awareness month
By Andre Butler
USAG-H Public Affairs Office

HUMPHREYS GARRISON  USAG Humphreys


Army Community Services jump started Domestic Abuse
Awareness month Oct. 1 with a Proclamation signing
by Col. John E. Dumoulin, Jr., USAG Humphreys
commander, at the Community Activities Center.
The year’s theme is “Army Strong, Family Strong.”
Throughout the month, Family Advocacy Program
officials have classes and workshops scheduled to assist
those experiencing issues concerning domestic violence
or abuse.
“We want the community to know that there is zero
tolerance for domestic abuse at USAG Humphreys,”
said Camille Jackson, a Family Advocacy specialist for
Humphreys Army Community Services.
“There is no excuse for these types of actions,” she
said. According to Jackson, high profile incidents of
violence against women in the military, including five
domestic homicides at Fort Bragg, N.C. in 2002 and
allegations of sexual assault in the United States Air
Force Academy have led to an increase in awareness of
violence against women in the military, just as it is in
the civilian population. (right) Sandra B. Knight, a counselor assign to USAG Humphreys ACS talks with Staff Sgt. Tony Ewing, 194th Combat Sustain-

Army Family Action Plan


Area teens take part in AFAP conference
By Bob McElroy
USAG-H Public Affairs Office

HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Days before the


larger Army Family Action Plan conference eight
Humphreys teens gathered on Oct. 5 at the Youth Center
and developed their own AFAP issue to send forward.
Among the topics they discussed were: there are
not enough shuttle buses running on post during the
weekends; there is no overhead cover at the off-post
school bus stops; there should be a newcomer’s briefing for
teens just as there is for Soldiers and Spouses and Morale,
Welfare and Recreation activities should be made more
available to teens. After considerable discussion the teens
decided to bring the MWR availability issue forward to
the Humphreys AFAP Conference.
The Teen issue was: Age limits at MWR recreational
activities. Their recommendations were: Have liability
waivers for age specific MWR recreational activities and
establish designated times for Teens.
The teens presented their issue to the Humphreys
AFAP on Oct. 12.
