For six busy months, we were the leading edge of our country's defense. The faces are yours. Our success is yours. ' S Times were tense both in the Mediterranean and at home. Terrorism was a 'threat from the beginning, and our nation's decisive actions against terrorism raised the stakes- even higher. Constant vigilance against this danger was our hallmark, as was our readiness to respond. I ,The 26 MAU came to the Mediterranean with special first-time capabilities for combating terrorism, and 26 MSSG, our marines, provided record setting support. These capabilities were tested, practiced and honed in concert with our NATO allies in six operations in 'five countries. We remained constantly ready-to act in our nation's interests at any point, at any time. Throughout all of this, El Paso's Navy and Marine team shined. Night and day, in fair weather and foul, boats were dispatched and helos landed to carry men and vital materials. During each operation over 100 .vehicles and tons of cargo were rapidly offloaded and recovered. The' unusual became the routine with the onload of giant A45 ton, submarine camels, and 'the routine was performed flawlessly as every sailor and marine pitched in to shoulder his share of the Job. In spite of the work we found time for fun. El Paso's goodwill ambassadors achieved an unblemished Med liberty record, actively participating in various sporting events, sightseeing, shopping, and charitable projects during eight' visits to six liberty ports in three countries. In short, MARG 1-86 was a remarkably successful cruise, we met all commitments, conducted more exercises and did it all better thanlany MARG in recent memory. And we put the -"icing on the cake" with an outstanding outchop OPPE enroute home! I extend to you my hearty congratulations for a job well done, and I especially thank the families who provided the loving dedication and moral support to make it possible. n X.,:lL g,l-. ,::',',T-'-2Q'-.' .

These are the words that best describe the attitude and approach First Division takes in making even the most difficult oftloads and backloads seem simple. Making up the backbone of Deck Department, First Division personnel can be seen on deck at any time, in any weather, splashing boats and slushing booms. First Division spaces, being in plain view of the Skipper, have presented a challenge in maintenance and preservation. Regard- less of the task at hand, the men of First Division have always answered with heart and muscle to achieve the high standards expected of a boatswain's mate.

With four fifteen ton booms, one 40 ton and one 70 ton boom, one of Second Division's major responsibilities is cargo and boat handling. From loading stores for Supply Department to full offloads for a major 1-A, Second Division can be relied upon to complete the task in a timely, efficient manner. When it comes time to put forth everything possible, the whole division will work together as a group and complete the task.

In the dead time between invasions, they find time to carry mail, haul cargo, guard against swimmers and help lost Marines find a home. Aside from the normal workload, this divi- sion contributes an impressive part in all deck evolutions, by manning the motor whale boat dur- ing flight quarters, man overboard, and underway replenishments. In performing these day to day duties all personnel in Third Division take pride in their jobs and in their boats. SITTING: BM3 Car- mouche, SN Pucheu, SN Graham, BM3 Smith.

A peculiar blend of old and new, the EL PASO'S weapons system is comprised of the MK 15 MOD 2 Close-in Weapons System and the MK 33 MOD O three inch fifties.

OO Division is comprised of two ratings: Radiomen and Signalmen. Both are in the communications field, but each do it differently. Radiomen are involved in all types of radio communications, ranging from short range UHF to the long range HF MARS calls. Signalmen are the Radiomen's visual counterparts, using flaghoist flashing light and semaphore as their means of communication. GE DIVISION OE Division is comprised of two distinctly different ratings: Electronic Technicians and Electronic Warfare Technicians. The ET's are tasked with the maintenance of all electronic equipment onboard EL PASO, ranging from the AN! SPS-10 radar to the complex Satellite Communication system. The EW's maintain and operate all Electronic Support Measures equipment, including the state-of-the-art ANXSLQ-32IVl1. Guided by the unequaled leadership of ETCISWI Bradford, the Elec- tronic Material Officer, OE Division has truly become the BACKBONE of Operations De- partment. "F WE CAN'T FIX IT, IT AIN'T BBOKEJ' .

In doing so, they are highly skilled in many areas, including radar operations, communications, and navigation. During high threat conditions they work together to gather and process all the information that is received by radar, ESM, and communications. This information is then displayed for the Tactical Action Officer and the Captain, so they can decide how best to fight the ship.

Storekeepers, with the help ot the other departments, maintain the CO- SAL QA consolidated listing of all equipment and component parts required aboard a shipl to en- sure the widest possible range of parts are stocked. SK's are called upon at any hour of the day or night to issue critically needed items and they always respond enthusiastically. SK's are, without a doubt, the backbone of Supply Depart- ment. ,.,,,,, , ,,,..M... vffw,- f S-2 The mission of the Food Service Division is to provide the crew with wholesome, well balanced meals served in an atmosphere that is conducive to fine dining. The Food Service Division con- sists of 15 cooks feeding nearly 500 persons each day. ln a typical meal, the bakery alone provides 800 cookies, 36 pies, 1000 dinner rolls, 40 loaves of bread and 500 hamburger rolls. The cooks work long and tedious hours, providing the crew with approximately 320 pounds of meat, 150 pounds of potatoes and 50 pounts of vegetables. This requires them' to start their day at 0400 and continue until 1900 everyday, including holi- days. Their pride and professionalism are reflected every day by . the quality of the food they prepare. lime KNEELING: MSSN Jen- kins, MSSA Fleming, MSSA Heffron, MSSN Hardman STANDING: MS3 Davis, MSC Escri- tor, MS3 Taylor, MS2 Hedrick, MS1 Dean NOT Shown: MS2 McCoy, MS2 Mason SH2 Ford, SH3 Martin, SHSN Parham, SHSN Dunbar, SHSR Maxwell SH1 Valasco, SH2 John- SOl'l S3 SERVICE TO THE CREW Our job is to pro- vide laundry and dry cleaning services as well as keeping the crew well groomed in the Barber Shop.

It offers a wide variety of services to the crew and embarked Marines. Services offered are check cashing, registering allotments, ex- changing foreign currency, and of course - PAYDAY! The crew rarely deals with S-4 Divi- sion except for payday, but you can be assured they constantly audit pay records, compute travel claims, monitor changes in pay entitle- ments, and receive monies collected from the ship's retail activities. As Fred, the Disbursing computer says, "Happy is the day when a Sail- or and Marine gets his pay."

They serve as steersmen and per- form ship control, navigation and bridge watch duties. OM's maintain navigational instruments and keep correct navigational time, render honors and ceremonies in accordance with national observance and foreign customsg send and receive visual mes- sages. In other commands they work as Petty Officers in charge of tugs, self-propelled barges, and other yard and district craft.

Driving the boats, running the booms, operating forklifts, maintaining the equipment, communicating, handling the ship and feeding the crew require every man and then some. During Amphibious Operations, Condition 1-A is set. A special watch bill assigns every man to a job. When all is ready the command "Away all boats" sends the first four boats splashing to the water. With- in 15 minutes all 11 boats are underway. They return to the ship four at a time to be loaded with vehicles or cargo. The Marines clamber down debarkation nets to join their equipment, and the boats speed to the beach and return under the control of the Combat information Center. Even with all hands working their fas- test it can take days to finish the job . . . ff? 44 I. V all ' Ewa-fx Nwx ff sf -, ' ffl!

Supply Department sends box unches to feed the boat crews and busy men. Engineers provide 24 hour repair service, while the ET's stand ready to fix the infamous "green ra- dios". The work is hard and danger- ous. The Marines provide their "Ship's Platoon" to help and Medical Depart- ment personnel stand ready to treat any injured. When the job is done, the tired men of "CASH'S CAB COM- PANY" take pride in another job well done.

The gunman commands "Surrender I've got you surrounded," and the Captain is cheered on by his crew as he won- ders "TCH . . . I don't know if should I laugh or let loose at him with a volley of shots." Marines were posted to guard the ship, and vigilance against terrorism was the order of the day. As New Years passed, calm reigned and while many were needed aboard to tend to the ship, others were able to celebrate ashore. The New Year's deck log entry written in verse, as dictated by tradition, reflects the feelings of those who served that night.

The mission of the Medical Platoon during amphibious operations is to establish a Beach Evacuation Station for the collection, stabilizing and seaward evacuation of casualties. ln the event of a sustained operation, the Medical Platoon has equipment and supply assets to establish a 40 bed medical treatment facility. However, in this case, the Platoon would require additional personnel augmentation. Onboard the El Paso, the Medical Platoon assists the ship's Medical Depart- ment in providing health care services. 7 f ,AU J z 4' f 'M JA in r FRONT ROW HM2 Ludy, HM3 Soto, HM2 Cepeda, HM3 Wag- ner, CPL Lord, HM3 Hobbs MIDDLE BOW: HMC Ely, HM2 Cox, HM2 Kins, HM1 Pam- puro, HM2 Pavlak, HM2 Becker, HM3 Nichols BACK BOW: LTJG Koppenhaver, HM3 Plehder, HM2 Duncan, LT Lineberry, HM3 Stukenberg, HM1 O'Malley, HM1 Smith, HM3 Wilson, HMC McCarty M, iw! mm'wA Wf ., iw f , 2 2 , W 94 -,sss V, A .

During embarkation and debarkation the platoon may be as arge as 32 men. Their mission is to assist the ship's personnel in handling, driving, stowing and securing Marine Corps equipment. Normally a ship's platoon is disbanded, except during condition 1-A, but for this cruise a small permanent platoon of eight 'men was organized. These men work with the Embarkation Officer to keep cargo secured and run vehicles to keep them in good mechanical condition. During most 1-A's these eight hard chargers did the job that would normally be done by 32. Below are listed the members of Ship's Platoon. Their varied backgrounds show in their official job descriptions.

Helos large and small come to bring mail and sup- plies. Others come to pick up passengers, cargo, or vehicles for the Marines ashore, or to refuel. The helos can hover while cargo is hung in a special sling to be carried externally, or they can land to have a load placed inside. ln either case, the command "HELD INBOUNDH starts a flurry of activity . . . V ZW X From Helo Control, the pilot is informed of wind conditions and ad- vised of his best approach direction. The Bridge signals "GREEN DECK", and with hand and arm signals the pilot is directed over the deck. The external load is attached, or the helo lands, is chained in place and loaded or refu- eled. Each bird that lands is a potential disaster. Crews stand ready to put out the flames and rescue the crew. The tension of the moment shows in the face of the Helo Control Officer as he watches a helo make its approach. , r,f" 09 2 f f . ft , ,, W ff 'W J 'V' ' X W ' 1X 7 'wif W' ZMW W Tk?

These large ships ply the seas carrying food, ammunition, supplies and fuel to sustain the fleet. Frequently during the deployment El Paso rendez- voused with these ships for resupply. One of the sim- plest means of transferring cargo is to fly it in helos. A much more dramatic and challenging technique is re- quired for fuel. In what is called connected replenish- ment, we sail alongside the UNREP ship at a distance of only 200 feet at a speed of 12 knots. Lines are shot or thrown between the two ships, and fuel hoses or cables for cargo are stretched between them. For hours the ships must maintain constant speed and distance as the cargo or fuel is transferred. it This challenging evolution is akin to driving down the freeway at 55 MPH passing notes between cars. The slightest error can result in disaster. In a typical refueling as much as 100,000 gallons of fuel or 100 tons of cargo may be transferred in a 7 hour period.
