we have first at camp lejeune, the marine corps says this is what happened. then we found out that that's not the truth. >> compliance is a number one priority for us. we're talking about the health and welfare of our marines and their families. >> the chemicals were first discovered in the early 1980s. the base was trying to determine the source. as soon as they discovered the source of the chemicals, that well was shut down. >> when i first started looking into this as someone who knew nothing about camp lejeune, the first thing i wanted to know is, what happened. one of the glaring problems with what the marine corps was saying was granger labs. as i started reading what happened, i could hear in my mind the technicians talking. you know, why aren't you doing something about it, why are you still using this water? i went looking and we found mike hargett at granger labs. >> we recognized some contaminants that we didn't expect to see. i went on base -- we went to talk to some personnel in public works. >> now, was this a civilian or -- >> no, this was a uni

we greatly respect navy, marine corps and guard safety policy. cal fire has an aviation policy as well. we work cooperatively with the agencies here at the table to ensure when we are engaged in an aerial fire fighting event we are working within each other's policies. we have trained in a work around, we can do close air support with navy and marine corps aircraft, with the current system we have. would we like to improve upon it? absolutely. we have gone very high up in the organization to try and look at getting the r210 radio modified to the point where it can work on our vhf spectrums, that's one of our challenges we need to move forward with. but overall we're confident when we do call upon dod assets to integrate with civilian aircraft, the training regimen we put forth will keep aircrews safe and also have them be effective. there was a lot of questions from a political level as well as a public level. you've got aircraft sitting at north island, just launch them, get them in the fight. it was hard to explain to them that that's a very de

marine corps are held fast in 2015, and the u.s. air force has accelerated their initial operating capabilities to 20 1600 this is a problem that finds problems, fixes problems. you can see that in the pace of development and flight operations. we have completed nearly 9000 flight hours on the f-35 program. last 12 months, 50% of those operations have taken place. we are increasing the production of the airplane. last year, we deliver 30 airplanes. deliver 36.e will we are increasing the production, the pace of flight operations, and the development. what i hear from the pilots is they truly see the next generation capability that they have in the f-35. host: the problem with the helmets have been resolved? today, we have flown the helmets successfully on every flight is 2007. that is nearly 9000 flight hours. when you talk to the pilots and go down to akron air force base in florida to the marine corps air station, they tell me they love the helmet. resolve whatd to were the technical difficulties earlier in the program, as we do i

and barry newman was a very energetic officer in the marine corps. he has gone over to afghanistan, i went over and saw him there, he was attached to the kabul police chief. i think he's going to have some interesting perspectives about working in the police department in a war zone. lieutenant commander patricia serrano, her assignments have been varied includes working as a immediate vaek core man, a legal clerk and a tqm instructor. she completed a 7-month deployment. captain mike napolitano is serving with the navy's expedition training group. while deployed in 2004, he spearheaded maritime patrol relief efforts toing the 2004 indian ocean tsunami, as well as numerous theater cooperation efforts throughout the pacific and in 2009 captain napolitano reported as commanding officer of the expeditionary training group. this is a fabulous panel and i know you're going to appreciate what they have to say. rear admiral, i think you'll start. >> first of all on behalf of the chilean navy i would like to thank so much to san francisco fleet week, particul

the niche we have as the marine corps assets we have the ability to locate some of our resources like shock trauma platoons, that's what we do in combat and we have experience with that and that may be something that may be of benefit to this process. >> during the last panel, mr. cahen mentioned it's so important to understand the resources that his agency has versus the ones that the military has and he said at one point they started looking down in terms of typing i have this, you have this, how are we going to respond and get the resources we need to deal with the incident. i'd like to hear from all of you what did you learn about what the other agencies' capabilities are and how did that open your eyes? >> yesterday we had a great opportunity to look at a variety of resources. in the midst of all the demonstrations that we had, we actually had an hour lecture on dsca, which is pretty incredible to get everything about dsca in one hour. it was a great effort by the folks who do that lecture. to show you how well i listened, i have some take away points on that. the first is that a

marine corp. i actually have plans for one of the buildings. not the one that i worked on.ot the other plans and when i found out i had the wrong plans i gave them to the owner of the other building and similar and built for world war ii and one of the fascinating things instead of stairs in the buildings they have spiral slides so in an emergency you didn't run down the stairs and told the guy to hop in the slide and out the building and that was their emergency e aggress. >> and they're designed if there an explosion it doesn't blow the walls out. and one of my favorite is the old pump station and now used as the headquarters of the fire department and one thing that makes this -- dare i say odd building and has live tidal sea water from the cove. >> the bu bay used to be right about there. >> the bay was about a couple hundred yards away -- maybe 800-yards away and so there is now an under ground i have duct that -- via duct that brings this here and can take water from the bay and into the high pressure system for most earthquake or fire protection. >> if they ran out o

navy, the marine corps, had something that we really needed. it's called logistics expertise. and we recognized that and with the help of our fleet week association, with the help of our honorary chair, former secretary of state george scholtz, along with senator feinstein who started fleet week, we began to appreciate in addition to appreciating the men and women in uniform and the wonderful attributes of having fleet week and the blue angels and the parade of ships, we could also be working on something very important to this city. all across the world there are examples after example and i know the men and women and leadership of the uss macon know this after their tour of duty these past months, all over the world there are disasters and emergencies that we are responding to and that you have become the humanitarian assistance and the disaster relief that is absolutely needed. why not practice that here? and so two years ago we gathered with our own departments from the port of san francisco to our sheriff to our police and fire, led by our emergency management division, g

after discussing the marine corps briefly. the air force is the second biggest loser under these budget debates -- they're not strategic as you've already clearly outlined for the audience, and i think that's exactly why everyone's frustrated in washington. this is not strategic-driven, okay? and we can just say that up front. i don't think anybody disputes it anymore. the army is getting a lot of attention, understandably and rightly so. michael so eloquent in talking about why that's a problem. but the secretary of defense outlined in the his remarks last week that he's going to change the so-called golden ratios of the service budget shares, the recently historical amounts that the services have received, roughly one-third, one-third, one-third equation, and the implication is that the navy's a relative winner but nobody's a winner because everybody's coming down less than the others. and the army is the most significant, the air force is a close second. >> in what way? >> so the emphasis in this briefing anyway is on tacti

this is an interesting story, he was a lieutenant colonel in the marine corps and was elected to the are ministered to saudi arabia because he spoke arabic and we didn't have a lot of arabic speakers in the american government so this was a great opportunity to send an arabic speaker to the middle east, didn't matter if he was a marine corps officer. let me give a shameless promotion to my book one more time, that famous picture of president roosevelt meeting the king of saudi arabia. the interpreter, you see in his marine corps uniform, we were a little hard pressed to find people who had expertise in middle eastern languages. one of the first places where some of roosevelt's goals were tested was appropriately enough iraq. in iraq in spring of 1941 the british decided to overthrow the iraqi government led by the prime minister rasheed ollie, the charge was that he was proactive and hoping to make iraq an outpost for german or an italian military forces. the american state department was dubious of this charge. the american officials had worried that the british never made a distinc

they got experience of what the marine corps has to offer. it was the smorgasbord of mill capability. as we contemplate the idea of medical surge and how do we deal with a thousand people in a hospital parking lot, we have to be creative. the only way we can do that is we have to know what are the options out there, what are the game pieces, what's the apps in the apps store? what can we ask for? by understanding some of these capabilities and looking beyond the obvious i think we're going to be able to develop some really cool medical surge plans and capitalize on the partnership between dod and the civilian world and i don't want to discount the other partners because this happens, this comes up every year and i have to say that it comes up every time we get lectured about there's the state, the state has resources, the feds, the other federal partners, they have resources, absolutely. when i say dod, please don't take it the wrong way, i'm encapsulating the entire family. when we throw a party, we go big. we don't do little things very oft

marine corps because i knew they were invested in the f-35. e f-35 is supposed to replace every marine combat airplane that they have. i spent a lot of time with marines in afghanistan. i want to learn more about this. in those initial conversations that led me to reach out to more people, to critics on the outside, but to folks at the air force, navy, to really borrow into this. what i learned very quickly is that this is a very complex program with a very troubled history and it was not something i would understand overnight. i spent weeks and weeks. >> when did you start it? >> i started in the fall. i was distracted by of some other things, not the least of which was the resignation of david petraeus. and the scandal that was part of all of that. i came back to it earlier this year in large part -- in the fall, i was a little unsure. once it became clear that we were going to be going off the sequestration cliff, and issues of the future of the defense budgets, the scope and scale of its work coming to the floor, it took on -- the story of

navy and marine corps, but to the international community. >> thank you. another hand? >> [inaudible] my experience with the haiti response. in this casey i was working at the deputy principal committee level and working at the white house. but it was really the first opportunity for this administration to work with a very complex response, and then recognizing for us the supported commander was usaid that normally isn't in the emergency response business. so, it was an educational process of how to move forces and yet support usaid and the role of the country team and port au prince. so, it was very informative there. and to back up when we had the first no fooling hurricane that worked its way up the entire gulf coast, the principal committee calls that were generated during the haiti response were then turned around and then bringing all of the governors into a conference call with the president to make sure that all their needs were being met in the advance of a hurricane arrival. so, we really had all of government, from local all the way up to the white house, ful

marine corps -- >> did you quote this rule by be? >> i did.est nerd i have ever come across in law? >> i'm sorry. i was on the debate team in high school. embarrassing. >> i can't quote the numbers. >> in any event, that rule doesn't say, a, that it applies to the marine corps, and the marines when they're training you, they're going to use organized activities to make sure that our soldiers act together in an organized way. and i think if i were arguing this, i would say that's not really a league. that's very, very different from something that you would be doing in the outside world. it's related to military training, and the rule should not apply. >> okay. quickly, and i'm going to throw this out there because obviously this is going to be adjudicated in some way and there are those who say rules are rules, he falls into those three categories, and they're pretty specific -- uniforms. i said refs but i think he said officials in some way. uniforms, refs, and -- what was the third thing? >> guns -- you throw guns in -- >> i feel like rick p

within the marine corps and the military, we talk about commander's sbept. that gets us past the flow chart diagram or the policy question, it gets to what truly is the outcome that the commander or the mayor in this case is looking for, and that allows everybody in the room to think beyond just the specific problem but to more the holistic solution to the outcome that we're looking for, in this case route clearance. we talked about how to filter information that comes into the coc my experience in disaster relief is the amount of information coming into a command post is overwhelming so processes have to be put in place so that the filter allows emergencies to be addressed appropriately, priorities to be resourced appropriately, and the routine to be put into something so that everyone is aware of it and if it becomes, it changes to one of the other categories it can be addressed. and, last, we talked about how to share that information not only amongst ourselves within that particular command goes, but across the city, outside of the city up to the state a

that's really changing the mobility of the marine corps. that's one of the systems online now. up is even more cool. >> joe, in the piece, you take us through, you know, marines training for the next war, which they're anticipating may be more of a conventional war than what we've been fighting with these insurgent wars. we're also seeing right now huge cuts contemplated to the pentagon. i want to play a little bit of what secretary of defense chuck hagel has to say about those cuts. >> cuts on this scale would, in effect, be a decade-long modernization holiday. the military could find its equipment and weapons systems, many of which are already near the end of their service lives, less effective against more technologically advanced adversaries. >> do we have the money, or will we have the money to prepare for both types of warfare? >> well, the good news in all of this is we have a very, very experienced ground combat troops. we're really good at the counter insurgen insurgency, small war type stuff. we had ten years to perfect that. the outcomes may not be very good, but on

>> navy is doing the exact same thing as the marine corp.we're very much into the barracks, into the -- where the sailors are on drill weekends, and throughout the week. we found that about 50% of the reports have to do with alcohol, and so we're pushing a campaign of keep what you own. you don't keep the ranks of what you own, and trying to curb the alcohol use and incidents we have, not only with sexual assault, with alcohol involvement, but duis, all of the misconduct that comes with too much alcohol, so i think that really, you know, we had done a number of stand downs in the navy and knave vie rereceiver, and so when this last -- navy reserve, and so when this last round of stand down, everyone really had the opportunity to realize, okay, this is my responsibility. every sailor knows that it's their responsibility to help turn this around, and every commander knows that it's their responsibility to help fix this, so i think that we finally have gotten it down to the individual level to say not in my navy, not in my service, basically, i

i have also been blessed by being part of the marine corps family.the value of service, sacrifice and discipline, the value of leadership, teamwork and integrity, lessons i could not have learned in quite the same way elsewhere and lessons i have tried to carry with me throughout life. and lastly, i have been blessed with my justice and my fbi family. as has been pointed out, i have been, i have spent the better part of my career -- i would say the best part of my career -- with the department of justice and the fbi. i have been fortunate to work with old friends and new colleagues alike, individuals of honesty and integrity. this includes on the one hand margolis -- [laughter] better known to all of you as me news la. maine news la. [laughter] and on the other hand, my executive assistant wanda sigh ferret, known to many of you. wanda has often said -- perhaps accurately so -- to be the one who runs the bureau particularly because of her common sense, her organizational skills and, i might add, her intimidation factor. [laughter] all of you know wan

of course in the marine corps as well. it was framed to us as part of the pentagon presentation that this is one of our forces globally. they are out there ready to respond. that is leaving out the air force that has just evacuated personnel last night from u.s. citizens from yemen and other places. the marine corps does have that significant role. we taught navy cut i will include them as well. it is pretty consequential. let me start with the air force. the air force is the second biggest loser under the budget debate and not strategic. it is clearly outlined for the budget. this is not strategic driven. we can say that upfront. i do do not think anyone disputes it anymore. the army is getting a lot of attention and rightly so. michael is so eloquent and talking about why that is a problem. the security of defense outlined that he is going to change the so-called golden ratio of the service budget shares, the historical amounts. the implication there was that the navy is the relative winner but no one is the winner becau

this years' event also included a safety expo from state and local police and even members of the marine corps. you still have a chance to save money on back-to-school clothing starting tomorrow. consumers across the state will not have to pay 6% tax on shoes and clothing. this marks the fourth year in a row. for more information on where you can save, go to wbaltv.com. an emotional meeting for a baltimore man who made a lot changing decision for himself and a 10-year-old from michigan. he came face to face with her. his donated bone marrow is credited with saving her life. he said he actually had forgotten about signing up for it more than two decades ago, but then learned he was her perfect match. >> a child is sick, you want to do something. if you can help somebody, you want to do this little thing for somebody else. you could be laid up for 30 days or for four days, it does not matter. >> she was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and used the bone marrow in a critical procedure in 2009. >> what had happened this evening, or late this afternoon, northwest winds have brought in slightly

syria afghanistan is kill anything that moves through policy i have no doubt about it as a former marine corps officer who however did not serve in vietnam the policy was the practice kill anything that moves i have no doubt that if continued in iraq and afghanistan no doubt all sorts of reports u.s. train proxies in syria raping and killing women and children three thousand tons of weapons recently lifted to syria terrorists america's training iran's mujahedeen and how to risk killing thousands of iranians and americans and best of reports of muslim group of thanks for joining us is the threats we see the delisting of the emmy k. here in the united states the iranian opposition group we saw mainstream reports of them actually being trained for operations in iran in the united states so in this was when they were still listed as a terrorist organization so the west is really the one threatening here along with israel of course bomber. but. america's single justification repeated again and again in chinese whispers is that deliberately full flight quotes in fact iran's president called the cour

marine corps. >> how many tours of duty? >> three tours to iraq. >> which years? >> '06, '08, '09. >> during her last tour in iraq, her friends introduced liz to the hard hitting world of mixed martial arts. >> you know what i like it. i don't just focus on one art. i want to be the best fighter to. be that engaged an involved. a game of chess that i could push myself to. >> this is a machine. a gear that she has that other human beings don't possess. when she turns the gear on. she leaves everybody in the dust. >> so when did you first take your official lesson. >> my first official lesson, the day back from iraq. first day, sparring, bloody nose. tank top ripped, bra ripped. beaten up. okay, i'm look hooked. i want to do this. >> to confirm. with a girl? >> only men. >> holy smokes. they showed you no mercy. >> not at all. >> ooh have seen grown men that are professionals in mma, come in. she serves them look they're children. leaves everybody crying. within six month she's became a pro. and within eight months she was fighting for the world title. so she is, re
