Tri-sta- ke Military news Moyne A. Cologie Navy Seaman Moyne A Cologie, son of Donald E. and Brenda J. Cologie of Castle Dale, Utah, recently participated in a joint military exercise near Guam, called Tandem Thrust '95, while embarked aboard the amphibious command ship USS Blue Ridge. Cologie joined more than 14,000 U.S. military men and women from all services in the exercise, which also involved the Royal Australian Navy. Cologie's ship is the flagship of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, and serves as the command and control platform for major operations and exercises in the Western Pacific Ocean. Tandem Thrust '95 was designed to improve the integration ofdifferent forces and their ability to operate together. During the exercise, Cologie and fellow crew members aboard USS Blue Ridge were divided into five teams knowledgeable in the areas of fire fighting, medical, engineering and combat systems. The teams worked together to create real-lif- e battle scenarios, which the crew could face in time of war. Not only is Cologie's ship equipped with the latest high-tec- h satellite equipment for secure communications, but it also has a ship-to-sho- tele- re phone system that uses satellite links, and can be accessed from shore just like a normal telephone. With the ship's new command and control computer system, it also can provide electronic mail service between units. Homeported in Yokosuka, Japan, Cologie's service aboard the forward deployed command ship is an example of how U.S. Sailors and Marines are working in support of U.S. interests around the world. He joined the Navy in April 1992.

Walsh also noted that most people do not understand which the negative trade-ofi- s accompany wilderness designation. These include negative impacts on some plant and animal species, wildlife habitat, water quality, biodiversity, range and forest fire danger, scientific research and many others." The coalition will be doing analyses and fact sheets pointing out these and other misconceptions and explaining the realities of wilderness. "To my knowledge, this is the first time there has been such a broad-base- d coalition formed to combat wilderness misinformation and myth, and I am convinced that it will be a critical turning point in the wilderness debate, both in Utah and nationally," Walsh said Bulldog bulletin Bulletin board policy The Emery County Progress welcomes your bulletin board items for publication.
