U.S. ARMY PHOTOS BY JESSICA DAMBRUCH More than 200 Marshallese employees join USAG-KA Commander Col. Jeremy Bartel smile for a Kwajalein Hourglass photo to com- memorate his tour following the RMI town hall at the Island Memorial Chapel June 25. Bartel became garrison commander in July 2019 and played a key role in preventing the spread of Covid-19 in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. GARRISON COMMANDER THANKS RMI EMPLOYEES Members of Kwajalein’s Marshallese workforce met with U.S. Army Garri- son-Kwajalein Atoll Commander Col. Jeremy Bartel for an employee town hall June 25. With assistance from Republic of the Marshall Islands Liaison Lanny Kabua and RMI Host Nation Specialist Mike Sakaio, Bartel and the employees ex- plored a range of issues relevant to work on the garrison and shared their mutual appreciation for each other’s contribu- tions to life on the atoll. Bartel first thanked those gathered for their work: “I just want to say thank you, for everything you do.” Of note were questions regarding shiftwork and conveniences for com- muters. Some employees enumerated the potential benefits of adding mid-af- ternoon and later-morning ferries to the established schedule to accommodate Bartel addresses RMI employees during the June 25 town hall meeting. Topics explored those working early and late shifts.

Those with questions about pay were
directed back to their human resources
departments, and Bartel said he would
advise contract partners on island that
their questions were raised.
“Each contract here on island is run by
the individual contractor,” Bartel said.
“Definitely keep having those discus-
sions with your HR.”

“The first people we want to have ac-

adding that he would work to expedite
the transfer process.
Others thanked Bartel for his service
and asked about possibilities to celebrate
with him at community gatherings.

Milestones were achieved and sur-
passed. In February 2021, Kwajalein
received its first shipment of the Pfizer
vaccine. By March the required quar-
antine time on Kwajalein for incoming
residents was reduced to 14 days.
As a result, families have been reunit-
ed with loved ones stranded outside the
atoll.
“I think it’s great news that we are
able to reduce the quarantine,” Bartel
said at the March 27 Kwajalein town
hall. “I see more reductions in the fu-
ture, especially on the vaccinated route.

mission support.
Today, Kwajalein’s travel restrictions
remain in place, as do current quaran-
tine requirements. The atoll remains
one in a handful of communities world-
wide with zero spread. Strict adherence
to the atoll’s Covid-19 quarantine pro-
cedures has resulted in zero transmis-
sion in the RMI.
His perseverance and hard work have
earned Bartel appreciation throughout
the atoll. On Majuro this spring, he was

the program. Each week is themed for a different continent and includes fun library crafts for young readers and family members
to enjoy. It’s not too late to sign up. For more information, contact the library at 5-3331. 1) MWR Librarian Amber Bates reads to

MISS RMI VISITS
USAG-KA YOUTH
The first ever Miss Marshall Islands, Bill-
ma Krystalena Peter, visited the Namo
Weto Youth Center June 13.
Peter’s multi-stop visit was coordinat-
ed by the USAG-KA Host Nation Office
and RMI Liaison Office as part of a larg-
er initiative by the RMI Office of Com-
merce, Investment and Tourism. During
her visit, Peter also met with Kwajalein
and Roi residents.
At the youth center, Peter discussed
her experience as a representative of the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, her
visits to various islands, including out-
er islands, Marshallese culture and her
project initiative to reduce plastic pollu-
tion and ways that we could help in this
initiative.
The students in attendance enjoyed
listening to her experiences and shared
their own experiences about life on Kwa-
jalein and activities at the youth center.

U.S. SPACE AND MISSILE DEFENSE COMMAND HISTORY
When U.S. Army Space and Missile De-
fense Command assumed responsibility
for the Kwajalein Missile Range and later
Fort Greely, Alaska, the community in-
frastructure was already intact.
With the deployment of the SAFE-
GUARD system in North Dakota in the
early 1970s, it was necessary to construct
facilities, services and the infrastructure
to connect them all—everything from
housing, barracks, mess hall and com-
missary to PX, library and gymnasium.
Another important part of this Army
community was building 340: a 150 seat
non-denominational chapel. On June
24, 1973 at 11 a.m., the U.S. Army Safe-
guard System Grand Forks Tactical Sites
Facilities held a special dedication cer-
1
emony for their new post chapel. Mea-
suring 8,378 square feet with more than
17 rooms, the one-story chapel included
the sanctuary, offices for the chaplains
and their administrative personnel,
a kitchen area, and a general purpose
room which can be used for large groups
or partitioned off for use as Sunday
school classrooms.
The Chapel is one of buildings which
still exist at the former Missile Site Radar
complex.

kins-Lang notes about the interior image,
“The image with the people seems to be 2

one which shows the very 1970s banner
behind the altar which several people
have said has the shape of a Spartan in-
terceptor.”
