Sports Heroes Who Served: World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Served in WWII
Dec. 15, 2020 | , DOD News
Sports Heroes Who Served is a series that highlights the accomplishments of athletes who served in the U.S. military.
William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey was the world heavyweight champion from 1919 to 1926.
Dempsey grew up poor in Colorado, then West Virginia and Utah. In "Dempsey," his 1977 autobiography, he wrote that as a teenager, he would visit saloons and challenge everyone inside, saying "I can't sing, and I can't dance, but I can lick any SOB in the house."
He mentioned that he rarely lost any of these barroom brawls and made money from bets that were placed.
During World War I, Dempsey worked in a Philadelphia shipyard.
Dempsey's fame came on July 4, 1919, when he met World Heavyweight Champion Jess Willard in the ring in Toledo, Ohio.
Despite being 6-foot, 1-inch tall and 187 pounds, Dempsey knocked Willard down repeatedly. Willard was 6-foot, 7-inches tall and 245 pounds.
After the match, Willard said "Dempsey is a remarkable hitter. It was the first time that I had ever been knocked off my feet. I have sent many birds home in the same bruised condition that I am in, and now I know how they felt."
Dempsey successfully defended his title against Billy Miske in September 1920; Bill Brennan in December 1920; Georges Carpentier in July 1921; Tommy Gibbons in July 1923; and Luis Angel Firpo in September 1923.
In September 1926, Dempsey fought Gene Tunney, a former U.S. Marine, in Philadelphia. Dempsey lost his title on points, rather than a knockout or technical knockout, in 10 rounds.
Dempsey later explained the loss to his wife, saying, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Decades later, President Ronald Reagan borrowed that quote when his wife Nancy visited him in the emergency room after the attempt on his life.
On July 21, 1927, Dempsey knocked out future heavyweight champion Jack Sharkey in round seven. The fight was an elimination bout for a fight against Tunney.
On Sept. 22, 1927, Dempsey again lost to Tunney; after it was over, Dempsey decided to retire.
When World War II started, Dempsey joined the New York State Guard and was commissioned a first lieutenant. He later resigned that commission to accept a Coast Guard Reserve commission.
He reported for duty in June 1942 at Coast Guard Training Station, Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, New York, where he was the director of physical education.
After being promoted to commander in March 1944, Dempsey was assigned to the transport USS Wakefield. In 1945, he was on the attack transport USS Arthur Middleton for the invasion of Okinawa. He also spent time on the USS General William Mitchell.
Dempsey was honorably discharged from the Coast Guard Reserve in 1952.
On May 31, 1983, Dempsey died at the age of 87 in New York City.

Brigade Focuses on Suicide Prevention During Holidays Amid Pandemic
Dec. 14, 2020 |
Actively caring for each other was the central theme for the suicide awareness and prevention training, and equal opportunity introduction training conducted for the soldiers and civilians from the 405th Army Field Support Brigade, Kaiserslautern, Germany, Dec. 10, 2020.
Due to the constraints and measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, one might expect the training to be reduced to small groups or cancelled all together, but that was not the case for the 405th AFSB team, who optimized technology to meet together and listen to each other virtually, as these very important topics were discussed.
The commander of the 405th AFSB opened the virtual training session with his own personal experiences and thoughtful words of encouragement and advice.
This is really important – especially coming up on the holidays, which is a high-risk time for depression and suicidal ideations, plus COVID-19 and everything that's going on with that, said Army Col. Brad Bane, the 405th AFSB commander.
Just recently, there were two suicides in the 21st Theater Sustainment Command's 16th Sustainment Brigade as well as many cases of soldiers, civilians and family members here in U.S. Army Europe showing suicidal ideations and a lot of near misses, Bane said.
"When the near misses happen, it's usually because there's a good support network involved," Bane said.
"I can tell you – speaking for myself – going through my life there are times I wake up saying 'wow, this is really, really hard.' I've been placed in very difficult situations that seem very finite," Bane said. "Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, depressed and helpless – but speaking from experience – even though I felt that way at times, things turned around very quickly."
"The key is to have a support network in place and feel open to talk about it," he added.
The primary guest speaker for the training was Army Chaplain (Maj.) Michael Dawson, the family life chaplain at U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz. Dawson used a presentation as well as a video and his own sage words of advice and encouragement to emphasize suicide awareness and prevention key points.
"There have been recent suicides in our community so it is very real,” Dawson said, “and it's always sad to me when we lose a member of our community to suicide. How can we help them with whatever they are dealing with – with whatever is in their rucksack? You are the most import tool to assist in the prevention of suicide."
Army Sgt. 1st Class Johnny Tadlock, the 405th AFSB equal opportunity advisor, provided a short introduction to equal opportunity and included his contact information. Tadlock said he is planning to conduct a more in-depth training event virtually in January.
Army Command Sgt. Maj. Kofie Primus, the 405th AFSB command sergeant major, said the biggest take away from his perspective is the value of life and increased value of trust.
"That means leader to soldier – soldier to supervisor – soldier to civilian – civilian to soldier," Primus said.
One of the points covered in the training was the importance of memorizing or keeping on your person the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The number is 800-273-TALK (8255). Press 1 for the Military Crisis Line.
Suicide prevention is an integral component of the Army's readiness and resilience. When feeling distressed or hopeless, thinking about death or wanting to die, or if concerned about someone who may be suicidal, seek help.

Air Force, DOD Leaders Discuss Cutting-Edge Innovations
Dec. 11, 2020 | , DOD News
Leaders from the Defense Department's Defense Innovation Unit and
the Air Force spoke today about DIU and AFWERX collaborative projects.
AFWERX is a program for entrepreneurs within the Air Force intended to
circumvent bureaucracy and engage innovation.
DIU Director Michael Brown took part in an AFWERX panel with Air Force Secretary Barbara M. Barrett, and Will Roper, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology and logistics.
AFWERX is the Air Force's team of innovators who encourage and facilitate connections across industry, academia and military to create a culture of innovation and solve problems.
The Defense Innovation Unit's mission is to accelerate the adoption of commercial technology throughout the DOD.
"AFWERX over the past three years has grown from a visionary startup to an innovative ecosystem, connecting ideas with solutions and empowering air and space professionals to think beyond today's reality," said Barrett.
"Innovation is embedded in our culture, and in our DNA, and innovation is a force multiplier for partnerships fueled by small business industry, interagency partners and aerospace professionals," she added.
Barrett provided some examples of what AFWERX has been working on: creating new landing gear, using a 3D printing lab to create needed medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic, developing space-based situational awareness capabilities, developing virtual reality enhanced pilot training, and creating an affordable flying car that can deliver supplies to the point of need.
Current efforts of AFWERX are focused on energy, autonomy, space and microelectronics, she noted.
Brown spoke about DIU's collaboration with the Air Force.
One of the areas that DIU worked on in the past is predictive maintenance that started with the Air Force, he said. Now that technology is being shared across every military service.
One of the benefits of DIU is that it was set up as a joint organization, meaning it has folks inside from every service branch, he added.
One of the areas DIU is now focused on is autonomous swarming drones, he said.
Roper said that area of focus is important. "Swarming drones are increasingly things that terrorist groups can do, that hobbyist groups can do with the right technical know-how," he said, adding, "I think it's a great example, because swarming drones that could attack the military, that's not just an Air Force problem. All of the services face that. Well, that's a scary future, we have to worry about."

The food bank warehouse serves 400 agencies in five counties. Since March, Michigan National Guard teams have supported food banks across Michigan, distributing more than 7 million pounds of food to local communities.
NATO's Success Depends on Ability to Change As Needed
Dec. 10, 2020 | , DOD News
NATO's secretary general discussed a wide range of issues facing the
alliance, particularly threats from China, and what he expects the
alliance to achieve going forward.
Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's secretary general, today spoke virtually from NATO headquarters in Brussels to the Defense One Outlook 2021, a forum for sharing thoughts and ideas.
"NATO is the most successful alliance in history because we have been able to change when the world is changing," he said.
To keep pace with a changing world, Stoltenberg said the alliance launched the NATO 2030 project earlier this year.
"NATO 2030 is about how to make sure that NATO continues to change," he said.
For 40 years, NATO did one thing, and that was to deter the Soviet Union, he said. When the Cold War ended and the Berlin Wall came down, NATO changed its focus to ending the wars in the Balkans and fighting terrorism in the Middle East.
After Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and China's growing military threat, the focus changed again, he added.
In response to these new threats, NATO increased its defense spending and modernization efforts, and those efforts will continue with a 10-year plan embodied in the NATO 2030 project.
Stoltenberg acknowledged policy and political differences in the 30-nation alliance, and he said NATO needs to be able to successfully address those differences.
"There's no way to hide the differences on a wide range of issues, but then we need to sit down, come together, consult and try to find ways forward despite our differences," he said.
"My message to the United States is that it's a great advantage for the United States to have 29 friends and allies, especially as the United States and the world addresses the security implications of a growing China," he added.
He said the alliance — along with Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and other partners — looks with alarm as China is making its presence felt in the South China Sea, the Arctic, Africa and cyberspace through foreign investments and in building out a vulnerable 5G network that it's looking to export.
At last year's NATO summit, the alliance for the first time decided to put discussions about how to deal with threats coming China on the agenda, he said.
Russia is also a growing concern. "In the last decade or so, we've seen that Russia gradually has undermined and violated the INF Treaty," he said, referring to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
Despite the demise of that treaty, the alliance is working to strengthen arms control — not only with Russia, but also with China, he said.
Regarding Afghanistan, the secretary general said the alliance must weigh the risks of leaving too quickly without satisfactory negotiations with the Taliban and the Afghan government.
"It would be a great tragedy if the terrorist caliphate they lost in Iraq and Syria then reemerges in Afghanistan," he said.
"No one wants to stay in Afghanistan longer than necessary. But at the same time, we realize that if we leave too soon, we may pay a very high price," he warned.
Regarding the Arctic, the secretary general said NATO is heavily involved there, with many of the important NATO military bases located there or nearby.
"NATO allies have over the last two years invested heavily in new capabilities that operate in the Arctic: maritime patrol aircrafts, new frigates, new fighter jets and so on. All those capabilities are important for NATO presence in the Arctic," he said.
NATO also hosted the recent Trident Juncture exercise in the Arctic area, he added
The alliance is also working to reduce tensions with Russia in the Arctic, he said, noting that Russia is a member of the Arctic Council and the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, along with northern NATO nations.
On a different topic, Stoltenberg said: "I very much look forward to
working with Joe Biden when he becomes the president. I know him as a
very strong supporter of the trans-Atlantic bond, and he knows NATO very
well through his time as vice president and also as the chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

Ex-con admits helping destroy evidence in investigation of murdered wife of Fort Stewart soldier
Defendant met confessed killer while in prison
SAVANNAH, GA: A former federal inmate has admitted to helping destroy evidence in the murder of the wife of a Fort Stewart soldier.
Devin Ryan, 30, of Hardeeville, S.C., pled guilty in U.S. District Court to Use of Fire in Commission of a Federal Felony, said Bobby L. Christine, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. The charge carries a mandatory sentence of 10 years in federal prison, followed by a period of supervised release.
There is no parole in the federal system.
“A man with no involvement other than previous time behind bars with an admitted killer needlessly complicated a murder investigation by destroying a significant piece of evidence,” said U.S. Attorney Christine. “Rather than stay a free man and hang up the phone when called, Devin Ryan helped cover up a murder – and that choice has earned him more hard time behind bars.”
Stafon Jamar Davis, 28, of Savannah, pled guilty to Premeditated Murder and to Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon in the July 9, 2018 shooting death of Abree Boykin, 24, a resident of post housing at Fort Stewart Army Reservation.
As described in court documents and testimony, after killing Boykin by shooting her twice in the head, Davis contacted Ryan – who previously served prison time with him – for help in “getting rid of a car.” Ryan provided directions to a location in Hardeeville, S.C., where the two men met. Ryan brought a container of gasoline with him, and the two poured gas inside Boykin’s 2018 Honda Accord and set it on fire. The car exploded, and the burned vehicle later was hauled to a salvage yard and ultimately scrapped before investigators could track it down.
Both Ryan and Davis were on federal supervised release at the time of the crimes, and both are in custody awaiting sentencing.
“Ryan’s attempt to cover up a murder made an investigation more difficult, but because of the determination of FBI and Army Criminal Investigation Command investigators, the case was solved and he will go back to prison,” said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta.
“Today’s plea by the defendant is proof of the level of detail our special agents and our law enforcement partners will go to, to solve a crime,” said Chris Grey, spokesman for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command. “Destroying crucial evidence from such a horrific crime is unconscionable.”
The case is being investigated by the FBI and the Army Criminal Investigation Command, and prosecuted for the United States by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer G. Solari and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Darron J. Hubbard.
