Even in the coldest of weathers, the beach some how manages the warmth, the spell that it casts on its visitors. The powers of the sea, the gigantic precarious waves, rise like a furious god of water and fall like a goddess of love bowing down wearing a robe of dew.

U.S. Army Reserve civil affairs teams work in the Horn of Africa

By Staff Sgt. Amanda Boersma, 418th Civil Affairs Battalion

CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti – U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from 418th Civil Affairs Battalion are making a positive impact on the lives of people in East Africa through outreach programs.

The Belton, Missouri-based battalion oversees the work of several U.S. Army Reserve and Navy civil affairs units assigned to Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa.

In Harmakale, Ethiopia, Company D, 478th Civil Affairs Battalion worked with local officials to open an agricultural demonstration project that teaches area residents unique methods for crop irrigation in drought-prone areas. The team is one of two civil affairs units led by Maj. Reginald Kornegay, who also led community outreach efforts in Kitgum, Uganda during Natural Fire 10, a U.S. Army Africa-led humanitarian and disaster relief exercise in October 2009.

“These types of projects receive overwhelming support from local residents,” Kornegay said. “The villagers have begun purchasing supplies on their own to duplicate the nursery stations.”

Several senior officials attended the Feb. 11 project inauguration to include John Yates, the U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia, Tom Staal, USAID mission director and Lt. Col. Rich Appel, the 418th commander.

“U.S. Army civil affairs Soldiers fostered a cooperative effort with the local community, which has already made this project a success,” Appel said. “There is now the potential for projects like this in other villages throughout the region.”

In Djibouti, near CJTF-HOA’s headquarters at Camp Lemonier, Soldiers from the 478ths “Team Seminole” recently offered humanitarian assistance supplies to local people, including a water cistern at Balbala, a nearby community in need.

“Fire has destroyed a neighborhood there, to include homes for nine families,” Kornegay said. “A local leader told of their needs, the most vital being a way to collect water.”

Access to drinking water may prevent affected families from forced migration, often a cause of local turbulence, Kornegay said.

Further South, in Eldoret, Kenya, a team of Soldiers from the Danbury, Connecticut-based 411th Civil Affairs Battalion focuses on ways to improve local people’s lives. During a visit to an orphanage, Sgt. 1st Class Victor Fermin recently found a 13-year-old boy with poor hearing. The stop was part of an ongoing effort to conduct medical assessments.

“His hearing loss has affected his education. He has been held back in school,” Fermin said. “We look to local organization and companies in the U.S. to donate hearing aids.”

This event is one of several assessments at local orphanages that the team will do in the next few weeks.

Work on Kenyan primary school was another team project – a low-cost effort that greatly improve education for local children, said Capt. Roxana Pagan. It’s not all work, though. During a recent visit to the Ng’Arua Primary School, Pagan also practiced English skills with Kenyan students.

“This school is one of 10 minimal cost projects begun in the area by a previous civil affairs team,” Pagan said. “Our job is to assess the effectiveness and impact of the previous project and how we can improve upon them in the future

In Moroto, Uganda, two U.S. Army noncommissioned officers are working with the Ugandan People’s Defense Force and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to help animals in the area. Staff Sgt. Danielle Bayar and Staff Sgt. Eric Roth discussed plans for a UPDF-led veterinary clinic in Karamoja region of Northern Uganda. Local animal health workers will lead the effort, Roth said.

“We’ve found that pets and smaller animals who may carry rabies are often overlooked,” Roth said. “There is also a need to treat poultry for Newcastle disease, a virus that can be fatal for birds.”

In Gulu and Amuru, two towns in Northern Uganda, U.S. Army civil affairs Soldiers are assessing a two-year veterinary medicine program that wrapped up in 2009.

The project focused on animal health through vaccinations, training for students from Makerere University in Kampala and sustainable veterinary care for animals in the area. For people living in camps following unrest caused by the Lord’s

Resistance Army, animal care was key to them returning to their home villages.

Overall, the team found last year’s effort were successful – treated livestock increased in weight and were producing more milk. Now, a local nongovernmental organization offered grant funding to local veterinarians to open shops to treat livestock.

“Our U.S. Army Soldiers and Navy civil affairs personnel are doing great work across the Horn of Africa, is support of CJTF-HOA and U.S. Africa Command,” Appel said. “These efforts will continue to broaden the reach of U.S. strategic goals toward security, stability and peace for our partner nations and increase the level of prosperity for people throughout East Africa.”
