DVIDS – News – Joint Task Force-Red Hill Completes Repacking

jayfer2 0 Comments September 6, 2023

Joint Task Force – Red Hill (JTF-RH) has completed the repacking of the fuel pipelines connecting the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (RHBFSF) to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) September 5.

“With the successful completion of repacking, we’re one step closer to defueling Red Hill,” said Vice Adm. John Wade, JTF-RH Commander. “I’m proud of the thorough preparation and safe execution by all involved.”

Repacking, or filling the pipes with fuel, is a required step prior to defueling the main underground storage tanks. In total, JTF-RH safely repacked approximately 380,000 gallons of fuel into the pipelines.

During repacking, operators deliberately and methodically filled the pipelines with fuel and removed all air to ensure a stable flow during the defueling of the main underground storage tanks. The stable flow reduces risk and sets conditions for safe defueling of the RHBFSF main tanks.  

Repacking also provided additional verification of the pipelines’ integrity. One minor repair was identified in a low point drain in the Underground Pump House on JBPHH. This repair was completed over the Labor Day Weekend, and later inspected and approved by both the Environmental Protection Agency and State of Hawaii Department of Health, before repacking operations recommenced earlier today.

In addition to JTF-RH, this effort included Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) contractor APTIM, United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contractor Pond & Company, and Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) contractor Brice-Risktec.

JTF-RH remains on plan to begin gravity defueling operations October 16.

JTF-Red Hill is committed to working with regulators and government stakeholders to ensure Red Hill is defueled safely, expeditiously, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Purina Dog Chow Teams Up with Actor Anthony Ramos to Honor Outstanding PTSD Service Dogs

jayfer2 0 Comments September 5, 2023

Voting for Visible Impact Award now open as part of Dog Chow’s Service Dog Salute

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of Service Dog Awareness Month, Purina Dog Chow is joining forces with actor and singer Anthony Ramos to celebrate the finalists of this year’s Dog Chow Visible Impact Award, which recognizes the remarkable impact service dogs have on the lives of military veterans experiencing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Ongoing research shows most veterans with trained service dogs show lower symptoms of PTSD and reduced depression compared to more traditional clinical care for PTSD alone.

From now through October 13, 2023, dog lovers are invited to help select the 2023 Visible Impact Award winner by voting on the selected finalists at DogChow.com/service. For every vote, Dog Chow will donate $5 to the Association of Service Dog Providers for Military Veterans (ASDPMV), up to $75,000, to help train more PTSD service dogs. The winning service dog’s veteran will receive a $10,000 cash prize and $25,000 for the organization that trained the service dog.

“Partnering with Dog Chow for this year’s Service Dog Salute program is a privilege beyond words. The unwavering loyalty and support that service dogs provide to our military veterans is nothing short of remarkable,” said Ramos. “I am honored to help shine a light on the powerful impact service dogs have on the lives of those who served our country.”

Visible Impact Award Finalists

This year’s Visible Impact Award Finalists include:

Huey/Operation Freedom Paws – helps U.S. Army veteran Ramon by detecting migraines and dizzy spells before they happen
Eagle/K9s for Warriors – helps U.S. Navy veteran Joe by providing standing pressure therapy “hugs” to reduce anxiety and create a sense of security
Phelan/Tails of Valor, Paws of Honor – helps stop U.S. Army veteran Harold’s night terrors and can detect and de-escalate when Harold begins to feel anxious or angry
Maverick/K9 Partners for Patriots – helps U.S. Air Force veteran Wendy by jumping on her lap when she starts to get anxious and helps prevent panic episodes
Bobby/Pawsitive Teams – helps U.S. Navy veteran Sondra mitigate her anxiety and hypervigilance by walking lightly in front of her and scanning the environment to ease Sondra’s mind

A PTSD Service Dog’s Impact

Roughly 3.5 million military veterans suffer from PTSD, and while service dogs have been demonstrated to reduce the severity of PTSD, only 1% of those in need who seek a service dog receive one each year. Dog Chow has been on a mission to help, donating more than $1MM to service dog organizations since the start of the Service Dog Salute in 2018. These donations help support the care and training of more service dogs for veterans with PTSD at no cost to the veterans.

To vote for the Visible Impact Award winner and for more information about Dog Chow’s support of our nation’s veterans, visit DogChow.com/service.
