United States Army Capt. Julie M. Schneider, officer in charge for the Camp Lejeune Veterinary Treatment Facility and a Pine Grove, Pa., native, visits one of the patients of the facility before he receives his shots. Nestled between the fitness center and the post office on Tarawa Terrace, the facility provides care for acute illnesses and preventative medicine. Photo by: Cpl. Kristin S. JochumsServicemembers and their families, retirees and active duty reservists with pets don't have to go into Jacksonville to have their furry friends taken care of.

The Camp Lejeune Veterinary Treatment Facility, tucked away on Tarawa Terrace I, is a little-known asset. Nestled between the fitness center and the post office, the facility provides care for acute illnesses and preventative medicine.

"Most people think all we do is vaccinate, which we do, but we also offer sick call," said Army Capt. Julie M. Schneider. Read more


Simulated battlefield training available to Marines
Story by Cpl. Ruben D. Maestre

From the fire team level to the Marine Expeditionary Force level, units here have the option to utilize live and virtual combat training courtesy of high-tech assistance provided by II MEF exercises and simulations division.

"We provide commanders a real simulation battlefield to help them accomplish their training objective and goals," said Truman C. Preston, a native of Pasadena, Texas, and the deputy director for the section. "We can provide virtual, live and constructive training tools down to the fire team level in a simulated battlefield."

The windowless room at the simulation center has the look of a computer lab at any college or university, but instead of writing term papers, the Marines who use these computers learn about different missions and operations. Read more


Navy Marine Corps Intranet

The long wait is nearly over and soon Camp Lejeune and surrounding bases will begin their transition to the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. To help facilitate the transition, we begin a four-part series of articles to explain the program and the process of implementing it here.

What is NMCI?
The Department of the Navy developed the concept for NMCI to procure an affordable upgrade to the Navy and Marine Corps' Information Technology infrastructure incorporating enhanced technology, increasing information assurance and ensuring connectivity between Navy and Marine Corps shore installations across the U.S. and several overseas locations. The NMCI will replace the current stove-piped infrastructure with a single, overarching network for voice, video and data information exchange. When completed, the NMCI will be the world's largest intranet connecting more than 360,000 sailors, Marines and DoN civilian employees. "It's going to be better than the current system, " said Cliff Engle, a lead site transition manager for NMCI here. "It will be a much more secure system protecting the Navy and Marine Corps network from intrusion."

Meet the Contractor
Plano, Texas-based Electronic Data Systems Corporation leads the team of companies charged with developing, deploying and maintaining the NMCI. The EDS NMCI team includes industry leaders Raytheon, MCI, WAM!NET, Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, Dolch, Dataline, General Dynamics and a wide range of small businesses. Unlike other Department of Defense (DOD) contracts that procure a product eventually operated and maintained by military and government civilian personnel, the EDS team will remain in place to maintain and operate the system in concert with the government.
