West Point staff, faculty and surrounding communities attended the Citizen Preparedness Corps Disaster Preparedness Seminar Sept. 27 at Eisenhower Hall. The event was an educational forum on how individuals can prepare for the unexpected or the unplanned like a blizzard, hurricane, flood, active shooter incident, biochemical, biological or radiological hazard. The event was sponsored by New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo and presented by the New York National Guard, New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ Office of Emergency Management and Office of Fire Prevention and Control. The event provided attendees with important information and resources to prepare for, respond to and recover from a range of hazards and threats. Capt. Brett White, team leader and instructor for the New York State Citizen Preparedness Corps, was the facilitator who presented slides and a video on preparedness in an active shooter situation, what to pack into a Disaster Preparedness Kit and how to prepare your home in case you need to shelter in place. The NYS Disaster Preparedness Kits were given to registered participants. “New York State has the highest risk profile for man-made disasters like terrorist attacks simply because of where we are located,” Those who registered for the Disaster Preparedness Seminar Sept. 27 received a free NYS Disaster Preparedness Kit.

From the halls of the Capitol to the Pentagon, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has spent his life serving the country that his Italian immigrant parents made the choice to call home. Panetta served as a member of the House of Representatives, White House Chief of Staff, Director of the CIA, Secretary of Defense and more during his years of public service. He was honored for that lifelong commitment to service and his dedication to the U.S. Military Academy motto, “Duty, Honor, Country,” Oct. 4 as the 61st recipient of the Sylvanus Thayer Award given annually by the West Point Association of Graduates. “I accept this award on behalf of the winner of the award 16 years ago, the American Soldier,” Panetta said during his acceptance speech. “Because I know, at this very hour in a dangerous and lonely corner of the world, there are Soldiers standing and watching, ready to fight at a moment’s notice to defend America’s security and preserve the blessings of liberty for all of us. For more than two centuries, our democracy has survived because of the Soldiers’ commitment to duty and honor and country.” Panetta spent the day at West Point interacting with cadets and served as a member of the review party during a brigade parade held in his honor. Panetta, who oversaw the mission to find and kill Osama Bin Laden while at the CIA, then as Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta receives the Sylvanus Thayer Award medal from Superintendent the Secretary of Defense enabled women to serve in combat Lt.

You too come from across America. You reflect the rich diversity that is America. As warriors, you have to fight as one, trusting in one another, watching each other’s back and never leaving a comrade behind.” Panetta called on the cadets to use those leadership abilities to fight for the democracy and values that have withstood the test of more than 200 years in America. He talked about the divide he has seen in Washington and the tribalism that has split the country while encouraging the cadets who will be the future leaders of the Army to work with allies and fight for liberty throughout the world. “In the face of these threats to our security, America must provide the essential leadership that we have provided since World War II to work together with our allies in the world,” Panetta said. “We do not have to choose between whether we work with our allies or whether we protect our interests. It is the height of patriotism to protect the interests of our country by working with our allies to protect our security in the world. You don’t have to make a choice between those two.” During his speech, Panetta spoke of the American dream that his parents pursued by moving from a small poor town in Italy to California to create a better life for their family. He challenged the Corps of Cadets to be not just leaders in the military, but leaders for the country and stand for an America like the one that brought his parents halfway across the world. “You have responded to the call of the trumpet, ‘Send me,’ and now your duty is clear,” Panetta said. “To serve America with honor and make sure it never ceases to be good.

The Lean Six Sigma program at West Point began with a handful of cadets and a faculty advisor from the Department of Systems Engineering. Since then, the program has grown to include members of nearly every organization on West Point as the community is building a culture of continuous process improvement. The Army’s Lean Six Sigma program merges tools from Lean, with a focus on eliminating waste, and Six sigma that focuses on reducing variation to improve quality. Certified trainers from the team conduct one-day, intense Yellow Belt courses for members of the community who want to learn more about lean and six sigma tools. The most recent event trained 70 individuals across West Point, a record number for the program, including Garrison, Keller Army Community Seventy members from across the West Point community participated in the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Hospital, several academic departments, and the United States Belt training on Sept. 19 to gain a better understanding of the Army’s process improvement methdology Corps of Cadets staff. and take an important first step in adopting a culture of continuous process improvement within their The training kicked off with opening comments from the organization and West Point as a whole.
