COASTLINE STAFFGreetings from USS Mount Whitney, flagship of the U.S.

Sixth Fleet, underway in the Mediterranean Sea!Today marks a great day in our Navy’s history. Seventy

years ago, on Feb. 12, 1950, the Navy formally established Sixth Fleet, building on the storied legacy of U.S. Navy ships that have sailed on the Mediterranean Sea since the early nineteenth century. From 1801, with the dispatch of USS Constitution and her sister ships to defeat the Barbary pirates, through today, American sea power has operated throughout this strategic region, which in ancient times was viewed as the center of the world.

While standing on the bridge wing looking out at the busy waters of the Med, I took a moment to reflect on the strategic environment that led the Navy to establish Sixth Fleet seventy years ago, especially in context of Great Power competition we see today.

Sixth Fleet’s Command History report from 1950-1958 gives us a window into the thought process at the time: “As the war ended and the U.S. sought peace treaties and rapid disarmament, it became increasingly apparent in the Mediterranean, as elsewhere, that Russia, our wartime ally, was to become the main threat to our security and order in the world.”

Although the Navy had hoped to draw down its presence at the end of World War II, our leaders quickly saw the need to keep a maritime force in these waters to protect U.S. interests, support U.S. policies, and serve as a strong southern flank to NATO forces in in Western Europe. Naval Forces Mediterranean was created to deliver this forward operating presence. This new force became Commander Sixth Task Fleet, and ultimately, Commander Sixth Fleet, and in its NATO hat, Striking and Support Forces SOUTH.

The stakes were high. As Adm. Forrest Sherman, Chief of Naval Operations, said in 1950: "The survival of this country depends upon letting the world know we have the power and the ability to use it if the occasion demands."

Given that context, it wasn’t surprising to learn that our mission today is not all that different from the mission of the Fleet back then, which was “a twofold mission for peace: first and foremost, to maintain at all times a high degree of readiness

and combat effectiveness; and secondly to spread and foster good will between the Mediterranean nations and our own.”

The Command History notes that Time magazine referred to Sixth Fleet as President Eisenhower’s “steel-grey stabi l izer.” Sailors were commonly called “ambassadors in blue.” These descriptions remain accurate today.

For the past 70 years, Sixth Fleet has been a stabilizing force across the region through both our persistent presence and our ability to deliver effects across the full spectrum of maritime operations. On the short list, we’ve cleared mines from the Suez, conducted Non-combatant Evacuation Operations, supported earthquake and other disaster relief efforts, and worked with and as part of NATO to support the resolution of the crisis in Kosovo, as well as in operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya. More recently, we established Aegis Ashore Romania to contribute to the defense of Europe from Ballistic Missile threats from the south, conducted strikes into Syria in response to the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons on its own people, returned to the arctic with USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group operating in Norway’s Vestfjord, and worked with Fifth Fleet to conduct a combined exercise in the waters off East Africa and the Indian Ocean.

Maritime threats know no boundaries, and Sixth Fleet’s 360 degree view of the world enhances our ability to operate seamlessly across the maritime domain with our Allies and partners alike.

And although we’ve adapted our operations and exercises to address the changing security environment of the past 70 years, one thing has remained constant: the inherent flexibility of the Navy-Marine Corps team to deliver combat ready forces, when needed and where needed, providing credible deterrence and response options for our national leaders.

Like those who came before us, Sixth Fleet continues to serve as part of America’s Away Team, using the tools of naval power and presence across the region to deter, defend, and when required, fight and win far from America’s shores.

As Adm. Mike Gilday, Chief of Naval Operations, recently said: “Mission one for every Sailor is a ready Navy...a Navy ready to fight today. That readiness translates into deterrence, into economic security, and preserves our defensive margin.”

For the past 70 years, Sixth Fleet has made readiness our mission. We’ve translated that readiness and delivered on our motto: “Power for Peace.” Working alongside our capable Joint Force and our Allies and partners, we are ready today, and will be for the next 70 years - and beyond.

To all who have served in Sixth Fleet in the past, to all who are serving today, and to our families and friends that make it all possible…from Mount Whitney, Happy Birthday! I am confident that those standing in our shoes in 2070 will look back with pride on all we have accomplished together. “Power for Peace.”

U.S., Spanish Service Members Complete Ice Diving Proficiency Training

U.S. service members from Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 8, assigned to Navy Expeditionary Combat Force Europe-Africa/Task Force (CTF) 68, and divers from the Spanish Navy Center for Diving (Centro de Buceo de la Armada, CBA) and Military Diving School (Escuela Militar de Buceo, EMB), conducted proficiency training, Feb. 3-7, 2020, as part of annual bi-lateral altitude and ice dive training in the Pyrenees Mountains.

Twenty-four explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians, Navy divers, hospital corpsmen, and Seabees from EODMU 8, stationed in Rota, Spain, and 40 Spanish divers and personnel based in Cartagena, Spain, took part in the training.

“This is a multi-lateral diving exercise that strengthens NATO partnerships in a cold-water altitude environment,” said Chief Navy Diver Troy Crowder, from EODMU 8. “We experienced rapid changes in environmental conditions in which the ice melted. We adapted and seized the opportunity to develop the divers and diving supervisors as proficient cold-water ice diving and ice diving supervisors.”

Following set-up of equipment, the team quickly got to work. The U.S. side of camp consisted of two shelters and a

transportable recompression chamber system (TRCS). The dives conducted covered emergency procedures, supervisor drills, lost diver drills, rescue drills, locating an emergency exit hole, performing emergency regulator failure procedures, evacuation of an unconscious or injured diver, and proper use of TRCS. Operations like these provide useful knowledge for the divers’ future application of practices.

“This type of work is very dangerous and there are many risks involved,” said Senior Chief Navy Diver Matt Medeiros, a U.S. Navy diver assigned to the Spanish dive school. “The techniques that we use are very important to learn in order to avoid an emergency or injury to a diver.”

These dive engagements have the ability to set the tone for future exchanges. By strengthening partnerships and interoperabil i ty, they demonstrate opportunity for further teamwork. Between the U.S. Navy and Spanish navy, more than 30 dives were conducted successfully and safely during the exercise.

“Our countries can learn much together,” said Medeiros. “It’s an honor to work with the divers in Spain and also it’s an honor to help the Americans and our service members in order to dive, teach and learn.”

CTF 68 provides explosive ordnance disposal operations, naval construction,

expeditionary security, and theater security efforts in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of

joint and naval operations, often in concert with Allied and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

When Personnel Specialist 1st Class Jasmine Laumoli was assigned to Personnel Support Detachment Rota, Spain, she received a call that no one wants to get.

“My grandmother had passed away and I was trying to go home within the next four days,” said Laumoli. “So planning with leave and my finances at the time, I knew I would be in a financial bind. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to go home.”

Early in her Navy career, the supervisor at her first duty station had told her about the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS).

“He said if anything falls through and you’re in a tight spot, financially, there are resources available,” Laumoli added.

While at her first duty station, she had gone to visit the NMCRS office in San Diego to get a budget and learn about all that the relief society had to offer. So when faced with this tragedy, she knew she had somewhere to go for help.

“Coming in for an emergency leave situation, you do not have to do a budget, you just need your LES, your pre-approved leave, and your ID card,” said Courtney Snyder, NMCRS Rota director. “We began searching flights and we were able to help her the same day and get her in and out so she could get ready to go back and be with her family.”

Laumoli came into the NMCRS Office in Rota and with their help was able to get her a loan for her airfare and other travel expenses, they helped find flights to get her home to Samoa, and set up a budget with her to make sure she wouldn’t have any financial problems during her trying time.

“In our office, we are trained and prepared to make sure we’re being empathetic toward everyone’s

situation,” said Synder. “And that’s what we did with her, we made sure that we treated her as we would want to be treated in that situation.”

“You guys (NMCRS) not only got me home but you guys (NMCRS) made me feel comforted during that time,” said Laumoli.

The mission of NMCRS is to provide, in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, financial, educational, and other assistance to members of the Naval Services of the United States, eligible family members, and survivors when in need; and to receive and manage funds to administer these programs. Worldwide, NMCRS disbursed more than $43 million in interest-free loans and grants in more than 61,000 financial relief cases in 2019.

NMCRS is a non-profit organization and doesn’t receive any funding from the government. Their programs and services rely solely on donations.

“100 percent of the funds go directly back to supporting Sailors, Marines and their family members during their time of need,” said Snyder.

The majority of NMCRS’s income comes from the Active Duty Fund Drive, or ADFD, on behalf of NMCRS.

The ADFD kicked off Wednesday, Jan. 26, and command representatives are beginning to make 100% contact with all active duty personnel.

Would you give up eating out one meal a month to support a fellow Sailor or Marine during their time of need?

This question was posed by Snyder who said giving up this one meal per month to NMCRS Rota could yield big results for the local community.

“For ADFD 2020, we have approximately 2,933 Sailors and Marines in Rota who can participate,” said Snyder. “The average tapas meal is 9 EURO which is $10.17 USD. What if every Sailor and Marine at Rota gave up one tapas meal a month to help a fellow Shipmate or Marine? That would be $10.17 a month or $122.04 per

year, and that would bring our total contribution [for Rota] to $357,943.32!”

So whether you need financial assistance with car repairs, a flight home, funeral costs, or even just help with budgeting, NMCRS is here, just like they were there for Laumoli.

If you’re interested in donating, contact your command ADFD representative, stop by the NMCRS office in the Community Services Building (Bldg. 3293), or go online to www.nmcrsfunddrive.org/rota

Deciding to transition out of active duty military service can be a big decision and a little daunting if you don’t know where to turn. Whether you’ve made up your mind to get out of the military or are still on the fence, there are many resources available.

Stefanie Hurley is the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) Manager, the Family Employment Readiness Program (FERP) Manager, and volunteer program coordinator at Naval Station Rota’s Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC). She’s been in Rota for just over a year, but has been in the education field for 15 years.

Hurley said when she’s wearing her “TAP hat,” she’s working with service members, career counselors, contractors, and the community to provide resources, education, and training to ensure service members have the most successful transition into civilian life as possible. She teaches TAP workshop classes, coordinates additional workshops, and provides one-on-one guidance in regards to TAP workshops and civilian employment.

Recently, a new curriculum was rolled out for service members to better tailor their desired workshops to their needs with the addition of the Individualized Initial Counseling session.

“Service members meet with a TAP or Career Counselor to discuss their post-transition goals and begin the process of tailoring their TAP experience,” said Hurley. “So now the hope is that service members begin the TAP workshop process with an idea of the different resources available related to what their individual goals are.”

You may have heard Christina Brewer on “T-Bone and Chickbrew in the morning”

on AFN Rota radio 102.5 FM on Fridays, 6:00 to 7:30 a.m, but she wears many hats in the community - a Rota Girl Scouts committee chair, a Red Cross volunteer, a Navy reservist, and In addition to these obligations, she helps teach the TAP class.

Brewer starting teaching TAP in Romania, January 2019. She is prior active duty Navy and had taken the class when she separated. She didn’t consider teaching the course until someone she was volunteering with at Red Cross said she was leaving her job teaching the course and thought Brewer would be a good fit.

“As it turns out I love teaching the TAP class,” said Brewer.

Brewer said the changes give service members an opportunity to take the courses that will help benefit and match up with their future employment or educational goals. And she added that with a variety of classes, the class sizes are smaller giving Brewer more direct and one-on-one attention to each service member.

“My favorite part about teaching TAP is seeing all the different career changes or education goals that our service members come up with," said Brewer. "I’ve had people who are creating YouTube personalities; I’ve had people who are going to be horse ranchers; people who are going to be police officers - and that doesn’t mean it’s anything they even did in the military. It’s so wonderful, this is such a diverse group of individuals with so much talent who are currently serving our country. It’s great to see how they are planning on growing and becoming their own civilian in the future.”

“I feel the TAP class has greatly assisted me in figuring what avenues may be best for me to take so that I may have my career/education on track. Whether that be seeing what cities and states my desired field of work is more sought after compared to others or finding out my access to care from Veterans Affairs treatment facilities,” said Hospitalman

George Costaportillo, assigned to U.S. Naval Hospital Rota, who recently took the class.

Hurley added, “Some other changes were related to the content of the courses. The core courses include a DoD Transition Day, a VA day, and Employment Fundamentals of Career Transition course. Service members may elect to take additional tracks related to employment, education, vocational training, or entrepreneurship. The TAP manager, that's me, also has more involvement with the initial counseling and pre-separation counseling sessions which provides a new and different perspective for the transitioning service members.”

Angel Lopez instructs the VA benefits portion, covering key topics such as G.I. Bill benefits and filing for disability and medical benefits. For VA questions, you can contact him at 727-3232.

Hurley also said that she thinks many service members are unaware that she’s able to assist with resumes, both civilian and federal, and give general help when seeking employment or education after the transition.

“Another thing that isn't really known is that spouses are more than welcome

to attend TAP workshop as well and any of the tracks that we have available,” said Hurley.

Once the service member has a confirmed seat in the class (talk to your command career counselor), the service member will need to reach out to Hurley to reserve a space for their spouse.

“I will do my best to reserve a seat with their spouse for that workshop and if it is full, they will be on standby in the instance there is a no-show,” said Hurley. “I can also offer the class to them at a later date when we have more seats available.”

Costaportillo added, “I would highly recommend this class to service members who are either dead set on leaving the military or even those who seem split on the idea. I walked away less intimidated about the thought of leaving an environment, which was all I've only known for my entire adult life, and so much more confident on my decision to transition into a civilian lifestyle with the information I've gained.”

Know that you’re in good hands if planning your transition to civilian life, or just want some help with your resume. Stop by FFSC or call them at 727-3232 to get in touch with Hurley.

Meet Nikelle Mitchell, winner of the “Joan Orr Air Force Spouse of the Year Award” 2020. This Air Force Association (AFA) award recognizes the significant contributions made by non-military spouses of Air Force military members. The nominee's husband or wife must be serving in the Air Force as active duty, guard, or reserve.

Mitchell met her husband Master Sgt. James Mitchell at the age of 15, and the two have been inseparable ever since. So it wasn’t unexpected, that after graduating from high school, they both joined the U.S. Air Force in 2004. Mitchell was sent to basic training, December 2004.

“He actually proposed to me over the phone the night before I left,” she said.

After getting married in 2005, Mitchell and "Jed" as she calls her husband, both served at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida until they found out they were expecting their first daughter.

“Leaving the military was not an easy decision, but I knew I wanted to a hundred percent focus on our child and supporting my husband with everything as good as possible,” Mitchell said.

After six years at Tyndall, they moved to Dallas, Texas followed by San Antonio from 2011 to May 2014. That year, her husband was sent to Quatar for one year. In 2015 the reunited family moved back to Tyndall before being assigned to their now home in Madrid, Spain in 2017.

Nikelle was extremely surprised when she learned that her husband had put her up for the award. In a conversation

Nikelle told her husband, “I never really won anything!” That’s when Jed told her that he had sent her paperwork in for the “Joan Orr Air Force Spouse of the Year Award." Filled with joy she was still cautiously optimistic.

When asked about his wife receiving the award, Master Sgt. Mitchell said, “I’m so proud! Again, too often a spouse’s contributions go without recognition. A service person’s family is crucial to him or her being able to perform well at work. If something is wrong at home, the person’s mind is going to be preoccupied with their situation at home. This is a distraction that inhibits their performance at work which could lead to costly, or even deadly, mistakes at work. Nikelle has been an all-star mother and wife every single day, since we have been together. Nikelle helps so many people without being asked. She lifts people up with her spirit and positive attitude and yet she is so humble that she doesn’t even think she deserves praise or accolades. So, I am so happy that we can provide her with a small token of appreciation that acknowledges her hard work and excellence!”

Mitchell is always looking for a way to volunteer and help others. As a “room mom” she is deeply involved at the American School of Madrid (ASM) where she helps students in different classes with their assignments or answer any question they might have regarding studies. She helps the teachers create fun lessons for the students, assists with organizing field trips, organizes events at the school as well as special occasions such as teacher appreciation day. Not only is she very active at ASM but she also tutors local kids at a bilingual community school in Madrid.

Whether it is an event such as Month of the Military Child, Fourth of July celebration, International Family day or Trunk and Treat for Halloween, Mitchell is always involved in planning, organizing and helping with it all.

“I like helping, I like feeling useful; it makes me feel good,” she said. “I’d rather be in the background serving hot dogs, setting up stuff, or helping with teardown. I don’t necessarily need to be in the front giving speeches or anything like that.”

She continues by adding, “I just like the hard work and seeing everyone enjoying themselves.”

Her husband knows that about her, he explained: “Deciding to put Nikelle in for the award was a no-brainer. Throughout my nearly three years here, I have earned several awards and even a promotion. For each and every thing that I have done to earn these things, though, Nikelle has been in lockstep with me. Base events, U.S. events, volunteer work, supporting her family and people in our community, etc. – Nikelle has done so much! She has put in the same effort I have, or more than me in many cases, but was not getting the same level of recognition. So, when Senior M a s t e r S g t . Escorpiso emailed the calling notice for the spouse award there was no doubt in my mind I would be submitting Nikelle.”

The “Joan Orr Air Force Spouse of the Year Award” cal ls for an Air Force Form 1206, a form on which

you put bullet statements of what the person has done with 18 bullet statements about the accomplishments.

Finding out that not only did her husband secretly put her up for the award but that she actually is receiving the “Joan Orr Air Force Spouse of the Year 2020” came as a huge surprise.

“I feel so honored," said Mitchell. "This is such a blessing."

We had been married for about a year when our 1989 Dodge Daytona began giving us troubles. The car had been a generous graduation gift to my wife from her father, but the paint was fading and the interior was tired. Into our first year of marriage the +150k miles began to present mechanical problems. We only had the one car and we convinced ourselves that ensuring reliable transportation was justification to begin shopping for a new car.

What we really desired was a car that was newer and more comfortable than a 1980s Dodge. We used the “I need a reliable car” excuse as justification to get something different.

We shopped around and soon found

ourselves test driving a 1997 Mazda 626. The new and freshly detailed interior lured us to justify taking on a car loan and selling the Daytona.

Big mistake. For the privilege of having something “newer” we went through three transmissions, experienced 10 months of car drama and willingly took on $12,000 of debt. And for the record, the “mechanical” issues facing the Dodge Daytona were fixed for less than $1,000.

Recently I read in the Old Testament that "Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.” (Proverbs 19:2). That should be a verse everyone carries with them when making costly decisions. Let’s break it down.

CLARIFY DESIRE. When my wife and I began looking for a new car we used the excuse of needing “reliable transportation” as justification to find a new car. What we really desired, was something newer than what we had. We felt that the faded paint and tired interior of our Daytona reflected something about us we didn’t want. Our desire wasn’t “reliable transportation,” it was the novelty of something new. When making significant choices, it's wise to clarify what your desire actually is. Don’t hide your desire behind an excuse that appears responsible.

DO THE RESEARCH. About 10 years after this all took place I was telling a cousin of mine what had happened. At

one point he had been the manager for a Mazda Maintenance Center. “What year was the car,” he asked. “1997,” I said with a bit of resentment still in my voice. "Yeah, that was a bad year. The 626 had all kinds of transmission issues.” I know that now, not because of research, but because of a painful experience. The proverb writer warns us that desire without knowledge is not good. Desire isn’t bad, but ignorant desire is. Take the time to do the necessary research to make an informed decision. Whether buying a car, a house, getting a new job, or finding a marriage partner…do the research. Have trusted confidants offer their input. You might not like what you hear, but I guarantee you won't like the pain and embarrassment of poor decisions.

SLOW DOWN. I don’t remember the details of the sales pitch that got us to buy the Mazda 626. But I imagine it went something like this, “This is a deeply desired car, and if you wait, I can’t guarantee it will be here when you come back.” We’ve both heard that line before. And it’s easy to give into the temptation to make a decision quicker than you should. Avoid

making a decision if you haven’t clarified your desire and completed the appropriate amount of research. Slowing down will help you find your way. It will reveal the path you are to be on. Making decisions with haste will send you speeding past the turn you’re supposed to make.

Since the Mazda we have owned thirteen vehicles and I can honestly say we’ve gotten better at clarifying our desire, doing our research and slowing down the process. But we have to do it each time. The temptation to make an impulsive decision quickly always lingers…especially if you are living in Spain and are looking for a mid-90s Defender 110.

U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Rota is hosting their annual Patient Safety Awareness Week, March 8-14. The theme this year is “Film” and hospital staff will participate in various activities throughout the week promoting patient safety. At the end of the week points will be tallied from all the events and a 2020 Patient Safety Week Directorate Champion will be awarded.

“Our mission is to ensure readiness while providing world class care,” said Capt. Andrew Archila, USNH Rota commanding officer. “To provide world class care a culture preoccupied with patient safety is paramount. We focus on patient safety every encounter, every day. It is our center of gravity.”

The opening ceremony for Patient Safety Week will be held Monday, March 9, in the USNH Rota Courtyard where refreshments will be served. Refreshments will be followed by a staff screening of original patient safety videos created by USNH staff.

The rest of the week consists of a poster board contest voted on by patients and staff, a patient safety “Room of Horrors” (a staged room with patient safety risks), scratch offs, a Family Feud-style directorate tournament that tests staff members patient safety knowledge, a teamwork based fitness competition, personal patient safety tales, and a Hall of Fame of Patient Safety Stars throughout the past year.

“Focusing on patient safety requires

dil igence and hard work 7 days per week/365 days per year,” said Anastasia Trent, USNH Rota command patient safety representative. “Patient Safety Awareness Week is an opportunity for staff to showcase their commitment to Zero Harm in a fun and engaging way.”

Staff members will participate in the Room of Horrors in which hazards that can cause patient harm are staged in a patient room. Staff will list the hazards they find. This event will take place on the Multi-Service Ward (MSW) throughout the week.

“Patient safety is one of the most important aspects of working in a hospital,” said Hospitalman Devin Jensen, shift lead on MSW. “MSW’s room of horrors is a fun and exciting way to put our skills to the test.”

The fitness competition is an obstacle course put together by Hospital Corpsman (HM) 2nd Class Rachel Standish who works on the Maternal-Child Infant Ward (MCI). The obstacle course will be held at the MWR fitness center.

“The fitness competition will be a fun way to come together as a team to overcome obstacles and strengthen teamwork skills,” said Standish, MCI leading petty officer.

Winners from individual contests and the overall 2020 Patient Safety Cup Champions will be crowned, March 13. While Patient Safety Week will close out on that day, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota will remain dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care, and staff remain steadfast in the commitment to safe patient care year round!

Tourism office Puerto de Santa Maria - Palacio de Araníbar - Plaza del Castillo, 9 - Tel: 956 483 714

By Concejalía de Turismo Ayuntamiento de El Puerto de Santa María

El Puerto de Santa María is one of the most ancient cities in The West. All the civilizations of antiquity and modern age have left their footprints on the city, what can be seen on a magnificent heritage that deserves being known and visited.

The first settlements in El Puerto de Santa Maria date to the Lower Paleolithic, as demonstrated by several archaeological sites. Doña Blanca, which dates back to some period between the eighth and ninth century BC, is a Phoenician archeological site of great interest.

From that moment on, the historical changes, the successive religious and civil confiscations, the social and political changes as well as the development of the sherry industry provoked the expansion of the local economy and the urban space, marking the life and people of this city.

Legend has it that the city was founded by Menestheus, an Athenian leader who arrived here after the Trojan War, and established a settlement known as ‘Port of Menestheus’.

In 19 BC, Lucius Cornelius Balbus Minor founded Portus Gaditanus, a Roman port at the province of Gades, on the site where the current downtown of El Puerto de Santa María stands today.

The foundation coincided with the construction of the new mouthing canal of Guadalete River. The cardum or main street – today Larga St – ran parallel to the new estuary and perpendicularly to the decumanum, which formed part of the Via Augusta that entered the city along the bridge built over Balbus’s Canal of Guadalete River, near Herrería Square.

Since 711 AD, the city was incorporated into the Muslim territory and its name was changed to Amaria Alcanter, Alcanate, or Alcanatif, which meant ‘Port of the Salt Mines’ or ‘Anchor Bridge’.

In 1260, the city was conquered from the Moors by King Alfonso X, who renamed it ‘Santa María del Puerto’ and distributed the land among the new settlers.

El Puerto was ruled by the Medinaceli family from 1368 to the eighteenth century – it was during this period that the city lived its golden age. Christopher Columbus was a guest of the rich families of El Puerto, who also helped him to prepare for the voyage which would lead him to the Discovery of the New World.

The eighteenth century began with important commercial activities by a great number of learned shipping magnates that gave way to the first years of the nineteenth century, when the city became General Headquarters for the French Army during the Peninsular War under Joseph Bonaparte’s reign (1810-1812).

During Ferdinand VII´s reign, El Puerto de Santa Maria was again occupied during the Liberal Triennium (1820-1823) and taken as General Headquarters by the French army known as the ‘Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis’ with the purpose of putting an end to the liberal resistance taking refuge in Cadiz and releasing King Ferdinand VII. The newly-released King disembarked at El Puerto de Santa María and abolished the Constitution of Cadiz of 1812, imposing the crown’s absolute power.

It was here that the Santa María caravel was outfitted – this ship belonged to Juan de la Cosa, a sailor who worked as a pilot for Columbus in 1492 and made the first world map ever known to include newly-discovered America in 1500.

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, El Puerto was the base for the Royal Galleys and the seat of the Captaincy General of the Seas. This fact would determine its key role in the preparation of important, naval, military expeditions.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the town was a bridge for the trade with America.

After the proclamation of Philip V as King of Spain in 1700, the city requested its incorporation into the Crown, which took place on May 31, 1729, when the Court spent that summer and the following one here.

The crisis suffered by the Bay of Cadiz on the first quarter of the nineteenth century implied a change in the economical model, especially due to the loss of the American colonies. Nevertheless, there was still capital from prosperous years, which was invested in the development of already existing sectors such as agriculture and food industry – in fact, flour industry, which was improved thanks to tide mills – and wine industry with the usage of the solera system and the construction of cathedral-like wineries.

The most important project for the development of wine industry was Campo de Guía (1828-1838), an expansion district that was built past the middle part of the river towards the sea, on a piece of land that had been kept already in the eighteenth century for these operations.

Its location was chosen to have an easy place to load and transport wine barrels up and down the river.

From that moment on, the historical changes, the successive religious and civil confiscations, the social and political changes as well as the development of the sherry industry provoked the expansion of the local economy and the urban space, marking the life and people of this city.

ROTA DGF SCHOOL NEWS & SPORTS

Four Rota middle school students have earned their way to Germany for a national mathematics competition.

Known as MATHCOUNTS, the program builds problem-solving skills and positive attitudes about math, so students embrace challenges and expand their academic and career opportunities in the future.

Rota's students, led by teacher Nancy Rogers, have been preparing for months and captured second place in the first round, which pitted them against students from other Europe-South schools. The next stage is considered the "state" competition and will feature schools from across Europe.

"We felt a lot of pressure because we had time limits," said 7th-grader Rebecca Owins. "It was like a test but way harder. Thank goodness Ms. Rogers taught us the Pythagorean Theorem!"

Eighth-grader McKenna Sachs, who individually placed third overall, noted how there were a lot of word problems and said she's looking forward to the competition.

"It will be nice meeting other kids who care about math," she said.

The Rota sponsor raved about the work her "mathletes" put in over the past four months.

"I am very excited for this group of young ladies," said Rogers. "The competition requires them to be quick thinkers and to think outside of the box for problems that may be unfamiliar to them."

Rounding out the Rota team are 7th-graders Rachel Owins and Fleur Eaton.

Rota Admirals student-athletes returned tired and victorious over the past two weekends, as wrestling and cheer captured division titles, boys basketball finished third, and girls basketball earned their first victory of the season. The teams enjoyed an all-school pep rally send off before traveling to Germany.

After dropping their first two games, the

boys surged with five straight victories and nearly made the title game -- missing out by a buzzer-beater in a game between two opponents. This marked the fifth straight Division 2 title for cheer, while wrestling captured back-to-back titles and is growing into a Europe-south power.

Spring sports begin next week with baseball, softball, track and soccer.

Rota's Navy Junior ROTC cadets passed an important annual inspection last week and are now competing in a European drill competition in Germany.

According to the unit's senior instructor, the annual military inspection helps students showcase their accomplishments of the previous year and lets the entire school community witness the entire cadet company performing a drill routine.

"We start preparing for this on the first day of school and even before that," said Marine Lt. Col. Claude Clark. "From critical staff selection to issuing and tailoring of uniforms, administration, supply, physical training and academics, the students put in countless hours to get these results.

"The inspection and drill competition are a chance to celebrate everybody's hard work."

This year's guest inspector said the students' efforts were obvious.

"I was honored to be part of the annual inspection and was very impressed by the depth of this citizenship development program," said Air Force Col. (retired) Glenn Ferguson, who spent 34 years on active duty. "The high levels of preparation, dedication and professionalism were clearly visible during the inspection and in the manner the cadet leadership shaped the unit. Outstanding job by all."

Rota's drill team will compete against Air Force and Navy JROTC units at Ramstein Air Base. They will be led by Senior Chief Billy James.

The Embedded Mental Health Program (eMHP) Sailor Resiliency Center had its grand opening ceremony on the piers of Naval Station Rota, December 16, 2019. The Sailor Resiliency Center is partnered with eMHP which is the new mental health care delivery model that was started at Destroyed Squadron Sixty (DESRON 60) in 2019. The overarching goal of eMHP is to give Sailors and personnel attached to DESRON 60 ships expeditious access to mental health care in an effective manner that addresses the unique concerns related to each case, with the expectation of returning patients to “Full Duty.”

The significance of having this program on the waterfront with easy accessibility to Sailors on the piers, is that it directly supports readiness by increasing access to trained mental health specialists. Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Miranda, senior medical officer and founder of the program, states, “With over 1,300 Sailors having ready access to mental health care, this enables us to be on the proactive side of the spectrum versus being in a reactive state.”

Thus care is provided as soon as symptoms arise giving us an enhanced opportunity to return Sailor back to full duty and maintain the readiness of the fighting force.

The program was establish from the ground up this past year and has been up and running since July 2019. There is an established weekly resiliency class that gives Sailors the tools needed to cope with the daily stressors of serving onboard a ship.

Miranda states, “We also spend a lot of time onboard the ships both in port

and underway, developing trust with the crew and the command, so they see us as consistent and readily available resource.”

The providers of eMHP, such as Miranda, are organic to the operational unit to which they are assigned. The providers ride on ships and visit the waterfront to assess if there are any mental health concerns arising from any members of the crews. Because of this, the eMHP provider is able to take more of a preventative approach through early identification and early treatment. In addition, they perform briefings to commands and crews on topics such as improving resiliency, education on self-care, and coping with stress, with the intent of optimizing Sailors’ performance to the maximal extent possible. This is a major difference from the Military Treatment Facility (MTF) mental health clinic, where providers only work in the clinic, never being able to go the waterfront to perform these functions.

The positive impact of the Sailor Resiliency Center is that the Sailor can be seen on the waterfront rather than having to travel long distances to be seen by mental health at a MTF. The eMHP provider team manages most, if not all, mental health care directly at the waterfront clinic. The military eMHP concept has been around for almost 20 years. The results are overwhelming showing that eMHP has had a huge impact in “saving Sailor ’s careers” because eMHP providers can quickly get Sailors the help they need in a convenient manner and because Sailors know and expect they will return to duty. The military eMHP model started out in aircraft carriers in the late 1990’s. They saw a decrease

in Medical Evacuations (MEDEVACs) by 85%. Capt. Joseph Gagliano, commodore of DESRON 60 stated, “I can testify how the eMHP is working right here on the waterfront. This program directly supports the more than 1,300 Sailors who are stationed onboard these ships in Rota, Spain. For the very first time since we’ve been operating these Destroyers from Rota, we just finished our first two patrols without zero medical MEDEVAC’s.”

The forward-deployed naval forces (FDNF-E)-destroyers have seen a decrease in MEDEVACs by 90% in just six months.

While Vice Adm. Lisa M. Franchetti was visiting Rota, Spain last month in support of the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) Component Commanders

Conference (Triple C), she visited the eMHP Resiliency Center on the pier.

“If nothing else matters, I would consider this one of the greatest achievements of my tour," she stated. "At a time when mental health has become a growing epidemic in the military, resolutions and programs such as this help Sailors seek the help they need and deserve.

The eMHP Resiliency Center is located on the Naval Station Rota piers behind the Port Operations Building.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) joins Charles de Gaulle Strike Group, Feb. 9, 2020, for joint operations and strengthening the partnership between the U.S. and France.

They are operating together in eastern Mediterranean in the frame of Chammal operation, Inherent Resolve, and the fight against ISIS.

French navy and U.S. Navy often work together, either i n t r a i n i ngs o r i n operations, and they reached a high level of interoperability, which al lows them to act together in the same operations' theaters.

“Joining the French Navy in this international p a r t n e r s h i p i s a n excellent opportunity to learn from each other and enhance our collective readiness,” said Cmdr. John John, commanding officer of

USS Ross. “Our ability to seamlessly integrate into the task force is a key step in building future capability.”

John visited the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle on Feb. 10, to officially formalize the participation of Ross in the carrier strike group. This visit was also the occasion for both navies to coordinate and exchange about the common objectives to achieve.

Ross, forward-deployed to Rota, Spain, is conducting a routine patrol to support U.S. national security interests in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.

French navy Rear Adm. Marc Aussedat, commander of Task Force (CTF) 473 embarked aboard the French aircraft carrier FS Charles De Gaulle (R 91), visited the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) to tour the ship and to discuss Carrier Strike Group operations during mission FOCH in the Mediterranean Sea, Feb. 15, 2020.

FOCH is a major naval deployment of the French Carrier Strike Group that demonstrates French engagement in the operation inherent resolve and the maritime interoperability among part icipating naval forces. In addition to Ross, this French led deployment brought together forces from

Greece, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, providing a training opportunity for all participants to improve combat readiness.

C m d r . J o h n J o h n , commanding officer of Ross, hosted Aussedat aboard Ross. They were able to discuss the multi-mission capabilities of the destroyer and the added skills Ross brings to CTF 473.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to discuss our common objectives with Rear Adm. Aussedat as we work with the French Carrier Strike Group towards an integrated and adaptable presence,” said John.

USS Ross (DDG 71)

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Ross (DDG 71) began its north-bound international strait transit en route to the Black Sea Feb. 23, 2020, to conduct maritime security operations and enhance regional maritime stability, combined readiness, and naval capability with our NATO allies and partners in the region.

This is the first time a U.S. Navy ship has visited the Black Sea since the beginning of 2020. Ross was the last ship to visit in the Black Sea, 2019, marking the 8th by a U.S Navy ship last year.

“With this visit, we are consistently strengthening our relationships with our Black Sea partners,” said Cmdr. John John, commanding officer of Ross. “Steady operations in the Black Sea are crucial to building a secure maritime environment and ensuring freedom of navigation.”

Ross recently operated with the French aircraft carrier FS Charles de Gaulle (R 91) and as part of Combined Task Force 473 in the Mediterranean during FOCH, a major French navy deployment.

Ross provided defensive capabilities for the strike group. In addition to the Ross, this French led deployment brought together, one after the other, forces from Greece, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain, providing a training opportunity for all participants to improve combat readiness

The ship’s operations in the Black Sea will strengthen interoperability with NATO allies and partners and demonstrate collective resolve to Black Sea security under Operation Atlantic Resolve.
