A 16 August Reuters story noted elevated blood lead levels in some children that may be related to lead exposures from living in Army (on-base) housing at Fort Benning, GA. Lead in the body can impact brain function; resulting in reduced performance, behavior or attention problems, and potential developmental issues. Lead base paint may be in homes built prior to 1978 when its sale was banned. No hazard exists if the paint remains undamaged, but if it deteriorates, lead may be released as dust or paint chips whereby it can then enter the body. Other sources include drinking water, hobbies, and consumer products such as toys, ceramics, etc. JBLM and it’s partner, Lincoln Military Housing, have effective and ongoing procedures in place to ensure paint in pre-1978 facilities is kept in good condition and promptly repaired if damaged. The Army is executing a tiered approach to validate that current procedures protect families from lead health hazards. This plan will validate procedures for Army owned and leased houses as well as privatized houses. As per Army direction, the first tier (fall of 2018) will focus on homes built before 1978 with children age 6 and under living in them, which at JBLM involves confirmation of lead hazard screening results as well as testing of potable water at the tap on 10% (or 152) of the ~1500 homes on JBLM meeting that focus criteria. The sampling will determine risk of lead exposure from deteriorating paint and/or water lines. It is designed to validate if JBLM processes are working properly, not to test every home. After reviewing the results, the Army will assess the effectiveness of current procedures and determine if additional actions are required. JBLM town halls were held on 10 and 11 SEP 18 as the Army intends to openly share with its residents the steps they are taking to investigate the articles’ claims and promote a safe and healthy living21 environment. 21 ARMY MEDICINE One Team…One Purpose Conserving the Fighting Strength Since 1775 Madigan Army Medical Center Community Update September 2018 Military Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255, Select Option 1 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255), Select Option 1 Madigan Flu Drive Tentative Dates: 19-21 & 26-30 Nov *Madigan Medical Mall, Active Duty Service Members Ground Floor Family Members & Dependents • Patients can also receive their flu shot during scheduled medical appointments Retirees • TRICARE covers Flu Shots and you can get yours at no cost in 3 ways: • At a Military Hospital or clinic • Participating Network Pharmacy

Purpose – Answer the following three RFIs in support of Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services’ upcoming March 2018 Meeting a. What financial and/or manpower support do the Department/Services provide to various museums/memorials/education centers? b. Please specify dollar and full time employee (FTE) support by name of museum/memorial/education center and location. c. Please specify how supporting these museums/memorials/education centers contributes to your Department/Service’s Mission. 2. Background – As of 01 December, 2016, the Army organized its museums under the Army Museum Enterprise (AME), which was established by Army Directive (AD) 2016- 39. The AME is a management construct for managing Army Museums and is headquartered by Museums Directorate (MD) within the U.S. Army Center of Military History. The AME is composed of the following types of activities: a. Museums - Museums are appropriated fund entities organized on a permanent basis that use a professional staff, possess and manage historical artifacts and art, exhibit artifacts and historical materials, educate Soldiers and visitors on a regular basis, and meet the requirements of Army Regulation (AR) 870-20 and this interim policy. b. Training Support Facilities (TSFs) - TSFs are designed for the preservation and storage of obsolete, prototype, experimental, first production, and field-modified materiel (current technology) for military purposes. TSFs are exclusively for training Soldiers and supporting research and development, and therefore are not open to the public. c. Historical Collections - Historical collections are collections of artifacts and art that serve as repositories of technology and material culture and are maintained for research and the education and training of Army Soldiers and Civilians.

  • Warts and All: the Representation and Interpretation of War in Museums
    Warts and All: The Representation and Interpretation of War in Museums Rebecca Harmsen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2016 Committee: Wilson O’Donnell Christoph Giebel Dan Hagedorn Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Museology © 2016 Rebecca Harmsen Warts and All 3 University of Washington Abstract Warts and All: The Representation and Interpretation of War in Museums Rebecca Harmsen Chair of Supervisory Committee: Wilson O’Donnell Museology The goal of this research was to address the issue of sanitization in the development, design, and presentation of exhibits about war. The definition of sanitization was to make a topic less offensive by limiting, altering, or removing anything that could be considered inappropriate or controversial for visitors. There was little available literature concerning how military museums interpreted the horrors of war within an exhibit and on the existence of sanitization. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were completed with military museums to determine their opinions on sanitization and the methods that they employed to create a balanced war exhibit. The research determined that strategic sanitization was an appropriate practice to utilize in some circumstances, which allows for the broad story to be told accurately while remaining sensitive to the audience’s sensibilities and the museum’s mission. A best practice recommendation list was created to guide military museums and other museums displaying and interpreting difficult stories in obtaining the relevant balance in their exhibits between historical accuracy and audience acceptance. Military museum professionals understand the necessity of displaying and interpreting challenging subject matter to the public; however, the degree to which exhibits display the horrors of war depends on the specific institution.
