Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs<br />
<strong>Securing</strong> <strong>America</strong> • Strengthening Israel
supports a<br />
STRoNG <strong>America</strong><br />
“For more than three decades, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs has<br />
been a strong supporter and defender of <strong>America</strong>’s military might – and of <strong>America</strong>’s<br />
long-standing friendship with Israel. I thank you all for your contribution to the debate<br />
over our nation’s foreign policy.”<br />
~ The Honorable Robert M. Gates, Secretary of Defense<br />
“It is institutions like <strong>JINSA</strong> that bring our military and our society closer together and<br />
unite us in common purpose, thought and deed.”<br />
~ Admiral Mike Mullen, USN, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff<br />
“In my long relationship with <strong>JINSA</strong>, I have been consistently impressed by this<br />
effective and committed organization. I believe their work is important and that<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> has a unique and essential role on behalf of our security partnership with the<br />
United States. A partnership that is critical to both countries. <strong>JINSA</strong> should be both<br />
applauded and thanked.”<br />
~ Major General Amos Yadlin, IDF (ret.), Former Director of Israeli Military Intelligence<br />
“[<strong>JINSA</strong>] created a crucial forum that exists nowhere else that keeps our nation and<br />
its leaders focused on the threats, challenges and opportunities that we face from a<br />
combination of sworn enemies, emerging rivals and evolving alliances.”<br />
~ Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT)<br />
“I would like to thank <strong>JINSA</strong> for recognizing these great young men and women that<br />
wear the uniform in our time.”<br />
~ Admiral Gary Roughhead, USN, Chief of Naval Operations<br />
“I note with interest that <strong>JINSA</strong> was founded in our <strong>America</strong>n bicentennial of 1976.<br />
How appropriate that an organization like yours, dedicated to a strong national<br />
defense and an open and strong interchange among free peoples, is connected in such<br />
a way to our nation’s birth... I am also truly grateful to this organization’s contributions<br />
to global freedom and a strong military.”<br />
~ Lieutenant General George J. Trautman, USMC, Deputy Commandant for Aviation
Dear <strong>JINSA</strong> Supporter and Friend,<br />
Why should you support <strong>JINSA</strong>?<br />
Momentous decisions that affect your future are<br />
made in Washington every day.<br />
Today, two central issues are on the minds of<br />
<strong>America</strong>ns. The first is the economy. The second<br />
is national security. These are not totally separate<br />
issues. In fact, a weak economy affects our<br />
national security, and vice versa.<br />
And the truth is, our country is in trouble.<br />
The economic forecasters are preaching doom<br />
and gloom. It is the same doom and gloom that<br />
national security experts are worrying about.<br />
Everyone understands that the economic crisis<br />
affects him or her personally, but it is far less clear<br />
that national security has a direct effect on our<br />
lives. It does.<br />
Imagine what the world would have been like if<br />
<strong>America</strong> had been unable or unwilling to militarily<br />
respond to the scourge of Nazism or Japanese<br />
imperialism. Or what the world would look like if<br />
we had failed to promote freedom and democracy<br />
during the Cold War with the Soviet Union.<br />
If you can imagine that, then you can understand<br />
that national security is as personal as the<br />
economy.<br />
It was <strong>America</strong>n leadership – leadership with<br />
muscle and commitment behind it – that is<br />
responsible for the freedoms we enjoy today and<br />
which we so frequently take for granted.<br />
Yes, we are still at war. A war that is being waged<br />
against us, and one to which we do not have the<br />
luxury to fail to respond.<br />
Today, <strong>America</strong> is called upon again to take a<br />
leadership role in protecting those freedoms<br />
against the jihadist threat comprised of networks<br />
of terrorist organizations and the countries that<br />
harbor and support them. Every day, those who<br />
hate the United States, Israel and other democratic<br />
nations move closer to gaining access to nuclear,<br />
biological and chemical weapons.<br />
We also face a revanchist Russia; a terrorsponsoring<br />
Iran that seeks to join the nuclear club;<br />
a series of movements that are deceptively called<br />
the Arab Spring; growing hostility from Turkey, a<br />
former ally that seeks to be a regional power at<br />
the expense of its former friends; an authoritarian<br />
China using its wealth to dramatically increase<br />
its military forces; and the United Nations, which<br />
has devolved into a trans-border forum for anti-<br />
<strong>America</strong>nism and anti-Semitism.<br />
Disappointingly, in the face of all these threats,<br />
<strong>America</strong> has declared that it will lead from behind.<br />
Leading from behind, as a Presidential adviser<br />
recently described the White House’s Libya policy,<br />
is quite simply not leading at all. <strong>America</strong> must<br />
reassert its position as the leader of the free world<br />
- one that leads from the front.<br />
If you believe in the importance of <strong>America</strong>n leadership<br />
and the promise of <strong>America</strong>n exceptionalism—that<br />
the ability to defend our freedom, wisely exercised,<br />
is as important to present and future generations<br />
as it has been to past generations—then you have<br />
your answer to our opening question: why should<br />
you support <strong>JINSA</strong>?<br />
Because times like these call for well-thought-out<br />
and clearly-defined policies.<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> is a non-partisan voice for a strong national<br />
security policy. We work closely with the military,<br />
law enforcement, and the policy community to<br />
inform and to advocate policies that will ensure<br />
our ability to secure the <strong>America</strong>n people and the<br />
treasure we call the <strong>America</strong>n way of life.<br />
Respectfully,<br />
Tom Neumann, <strong>JINSA</strong> Executive Director<br />
David Ganz, <strong>JINSA</strong> President<br />

5 Reasons to<br />
Flag & General Officers Trip to Israel<br />
“… I have made it one of my goals after attending the <strong>JINSA</strong> trip to persuade our<br />
Navy leadership to continue high level engagement with the Israeli Navy and<br />
encourage port visits to foster relationships with a critical maritime ally.”<br />
For any retired Flag and General Officer, this trip is a must. Just to have the opportunity to<br />
sit with the key members of the Israeli government and national security team is in a word...<br />
priceless. You can read about the situation in the Middle East in the newspapers, but to<br />
witness firsthand the challenges that Israel faces day in and day out was simply remarkable.<br />
The United States is faced with the challenges of war thousands of miles away. Israel is faced<br />
with survival across a simple border crossing. Even with all our differences, there is no more<br />
important ally in the Middle East than Israel. In the years following the Arab Spring we must<br />
strive to maintain the strongest of relations with the government of Israel and its military.<br />
When you go on the <strong>JINSA</strong> trip and tour the border regions, the picture becomes crystal clear<br />
why it is important for the United States to provide the Israeli military with the latest in<br />
defense technology and weapons systems.<br />
As a retired Flag Officer I have made it one of my goals after attending the <strong>JINSA</strong> trip to<br />
persuade our Navy leadership to continue high level engagement with the Israeli Navy and<br />
encourage port visits to foster relationships with a critical maritime ally.<br />
~ Rear Admiral Terrence E. “Terry” McKnight, USN (ret.), <strong>2011</strong> trip participant<br />
Twenty-nine years ago, <strong>JINSA</strong> recognized the importance of creating a vehicle by which <strong>America</strong>n<br />
and Israeli defense establishments can build relationships, establish trust and create alliances.<br />
It was from this understanding that the <strong>JINSA</strong> Flag and General Officers trip to Israel was born,<br />
ensuring that for the generations to come, the U.S. military and the Israel Defense Forces continue<br />
to speak to each other as allies and friends.<br />
In today’s environment, where U.S.-Israeli political<br />
relations are at best shaky, military to military<br />
cooperation has not only endured, but has been<br />
strengthened.<br />
One of the keys to our success has been<br />
sustainability. Next year, we will be celebrating our<br />
30th anniversary of the Flag and General Officers<br />
Trip. To date, more than 400 military officers<br />
have traveled with us to Israel. We have come<br />
a long way in eliminating barriers and ensuring<br />
cooperation, but critical work remains and <strong>JINSA</strong><br />
is fully prepared for the future.

Military Academies Program<br />
Support <strong>JINSA</strong><br />
“The Middle East proves to be an area of continued interest and tension in<br />
<strong>America</strong>n politics. My experience in Israel has helped me understand a piece of<br />
the puzzle, and a critical one at that... I hope that I may be able at some point in<br />
my career to help commanders understand the consequences of various policies<br />
on the Israeli-<strong>America</strong>n relationship from the Israeli point of view. I am also<br />
hopeful that I may one day benefit from my connections to the young IDF officers<br />
who helped introduce us to Jerusalem. Perhaps one day our countries could<br />
be working together in some operational or strategic capacity where I could<br />
facilitate communications between the two militaries.”<br />
~ U.S. Air Force Academy trip participant<br />
For an incoming <strong>America</strong>n military generation<br />
with no memory of the numerous defensive wars<br />
Israel was forced to fight, let alone a personal<br />
knowledge of the post World War II era, how can<br />
one expect them not to be tainted by the insidious<br />
anti-Israel campaign championed by most of the<br />
world’s media and political leadership?<br />
For the military-to-military alliance between the<br />
U.S. and Israel to endure, the relationship among<br />
its young officers must be forged early in their<br />
careers. <strong>JINSA</strong>’s Military Academies Program does<br />
exactly that: every summer <strong>America</strong>n cadets and<br />
midshipmen participate in a three-week work and<br />
study program in Israel that aims to build lifelong<br />
relationships with young Israeli military officers.<br />
Over the years, this program has become so well established within the <strong>America</strong>n military<br />
academies that each year the number of applicants increases substantially. Participants now<br />
receive course credit for their participation. For us at <strong>JINSA</strong>, their words affirm our work. And most<br />
of all, to read that they now regard the friendships they have established as life-long, career-long<br />
relations only motivates us to continue our work.<br />
“It was motivating to see that there are people in other countries of the world<br />
that believe in and are willing to fight for the same things that we believe –<br />
freedom, liberty, and a life free from fear. I was able to see why the U.S. and<br />
Israel have a special bond, as I believe that the two countries may be more<br />
similar than many realize or would care to admit.”<br />
~ U.S. Military Academy at West Point trip participant<br />

5 Reasons to<br />
Law Enforcement Exchange Program<br />
(LEEP)<br />
“… The trip to Israel raised my counter terrorism IQ and reinforced my<br />
understanding of the treachery bravely faced by the Israeli people. If <strong>JINSA</strong>’s<br />
supporters should ever wonder if <strong>JINSA</strong> is accomplishing its mission—you need<br />
not! <strong>JINSA</strong>, please know that you shine a very bright light on a subject that is<br />
clouded by many. Thank you for clearing my view.”<br />
~ Chief Bill McSweeney, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, CA<br />
“LEEP was the most beneficial educational experience in my 35 years of law<br />
enforcement. The briefings were high quality material and on target for the 21st<br />
century issues facing <strong>America</strong>n law enforcement. ”<br />
~ Robert J. Bodisch, Deputy Director, Office of Homeland Security, TX<br />
The Law Enforcement Exchange Program (LEEP) was formed in the aftermath of 9/11 when<br />
<strong>America</strong>n first responders reached out to <strong>JINSA</strong> to create a counterterrorism best-practice<br />
exchange program with their Israeli counterparts.<br />
With the full cooperation of and access to the Israel National Police, the Israel Security Agency<br />
(Shin Bet) and the Mossad, <strong>JINSA</strong> became uniquely positioned to offer to our <strong>America</strong>n law<br />
enforcement community the counterterrorism tools and strategies that the Israelis perfected by<br />
experience and blood.<br />
LEEP is comprised of two complimentary components: annual trips to Israel for <strong>America</strong>n<br />
law enforcement executives, and conferences in major U.S. cities that reach larger numbers<br />
of participants. Both programs address key counterterrorism issues such as the ideology and<br />
psychology of terrorists, optimal intelligence sharing strategies, prevention of acts of terrorism,<br />
and maximization of intelligence collection while<br />
minimizing loss of life in case a terrorist act is<br />
carried out.<br />
To date, more than 100 <strong>America</strong>n law enforcement<br />
officials on the federal, state and local levels have<br />
traveled to Israel with the program. Additionally,<br />
11,000 <strong>America</strong>ns from the law enforcement<br />
community have attended nationwide LEEP<br />
conferences held in U.S. cities across the country.<br />
Within the law enforcement community, the program<br />
is widely regarded as some of the best training<br />
available. Comments from trip participants range<br />
from “the best professional training I’ve ever<br />
received” to “a truly life changing experience.”

Support <strong>JINSA</strong><br />
“Sirs: please excuse the nameless<br />
greeting but I do not know your exact<br />
name except for <strong>JINSA</strong>. However,<br />
how can one begin to express enough<br />
thanks for what you have done for<br />
us and our son… Our son is still<br />
in very early stage recovery. He too<br />
appreciates your generous help and<br />
I am writing for all of us. He is flat<br />
on his back making it difficult to<br />
write; however, his heart is filled with<br />
gratitude. He has had a very difficult<br />
time and he was so low and down<br />
emotionally. It is hard for him to<br />
imagine people care very much about<br />
him and his family’s needs at this<br />
time... you have given him back the gift<br />
of hope. For that we, his parents, are<br />
eternally grateful.”<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> is dedicated to supporting the men and women who serve the cause of liberty and freedom<br />
in our Armed Services.<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> instituted a Holiday Appeal on behalf of deserving soldiers, which to date has generated<br />
close to a million dollars to ensure our military families have what they need for Thanksgiving and<br />
Christmas.<br />
A portion of the funds raised go to young service members with catastrophic injuries. <strong>JINSA</strong> also<br />
served as the co-sponsor of the Care Coalition conference in conjunction with the U.S. Special<br />
Operations Command, which brings together donor groups and the veterans and families that<br />
they support.<br />
In 2003, <strong>JINSA</strong> instituted the Grateful Nation Award to publicly honor young heroes representing<br />
each branch of the U.S. military and the U.S. Special Operations Command. <strong>JINSA</strong> brings these<br />
military heroes along with their families to our nation’s capital to recognize and thank them for their<br />
sacrifices during <strong>JINSA</strong>’s <strong>Annual</strong> Awards Dinner attended by military, political and civilian leaders<br />
from across the country. The Grateful Nation Award honorees are chosen by their respective<br />
services and come from the enlisted, noncommissioned officer and junior officer ranks.<br />
Seeing, meeting, greeting and ultimately celebrating leaders of our generation who fight for our<br />
values is perhaps one of the most patriotic moments of anyone’s life.<br />

Military Base Visits<br />
“The visit exceeded all of our expectations. The primary value and the critically<br />
unique experience were the frequent opportunities to interact directly with<br />
Marine generals, mid-level officers and NCOs in the most candid and intimate<br />
contexts. We were blown away at the intelligence, worldliness, commitment and<br />
dedication of the Marine warriors that we met.”<br />
“A key takeaway was the overwhelming feeling of a deep rooted<br />
connection to Israel from almost every Marine I encountered, either<br />
through their personal experiences abroad or just admiration for<br />
the IDF and what they deal with in their backyard. These are points<br />
that should not be overlooked as they will be the ones in the future<br />
helping to determine future relationships. This is where <strong>JINSA</strong><br />
thrives and brings incredible value and relevance to the relationships<br />
between the two countries.”<br />
- participants’ comments from a <strong>2011</strong> visit to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia<br />
It is the cornerstone of <strong>JINSA</strong>’s vision that <strong>America</strong>ns, and particularly the <strong>America</strong>n Jewish<br />
community, must understand the importance of a strong <strong>America</strong>n defense capability and be<br />
responsive to the needs of our own military forces.<br />
Each year, <strong>JINSA</strong> organizes and leads visits to<br />
<strong>America</strong>n military bases to provide its membership<br />
with a unique opportunity to keep abreast of the<br />
latest U.S. military capabilities and security issues<br />
through discussion, briefings and observations<br />
of exercises in the field. These delegations also<br />
have the opportunity to speak with the troops<br />
and bring their messages back to their respective<br />
communities.<br />
Recent visits include:<br />
• Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA<br />
• Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, VA (SEAL Team 2)<br />

fellow YLC founding members so that we can address this concern and dedicate<br />
ourselves to educate our peers on the importance of <strong>America</strong>’s strategic alliance<br />
with the State of Israel.”<br />

Meet Our 2010 Grateful Nation Award Honorees<br />
Staff Sergeant ChriStopher B. WaiterS, USa<br />
During a clearance mission, a Bradley Fighting Vehicle was struck by an IED and began to burn with its occupants<br />
inside. Specialist Christopher B. Waiters, the company’s senior medic, dismounted alone from his vehicle and<br />
ran 80 meters through fierce small arms fire towards the flaming Bradley. Specialist Waiters then pulled out<br />
the driver and the vehicle commander, treated both, and safeguarded the casualties back to his Stryker for<br />
further treatment. Again, he re-entered the vehicle and found a deceased <strong>America</strong>n soldier. He sprinted back<br />
to his Stryker to secure a body bag. Upon his return, another medic had taken charge of the scene, allowing<br />
Specialist Waiters to evacuate the two casualties in his Stryker. For his actions, Specialist Waiters was awarded<br />
the Distinguished Service Cross.<br />
Chief petty offiCer (SeaL) adam L. BroWn, USn (awarded posthumously)<br />
In 2010, Chief Petty Officer Adam L. Brown was part of a ground assault force that executed a daring Direct<br />
Action mission in Afghanistan against a heavily armed and barricaded senior Taliban commander. Upon initial<br />
clearance, two enemy fighters exited the primary target building and engaged the assault force. Chief Brown<br />
quickly engaged the two enemy fighters while two other enemy fighters were observed moving to a bunkered<br />
position using a group of women and children to shield their movement. When the barricaded shooters opened<br />
fire on Chief Brown’s teammates, he mounted a wall while under effective enemy fire and maneuvered on the<br />
barricaded shooters, without regard with his own safety. Knowingly exposing himself to protect his teammates,<br />
he was struck down by a burst of enemy fire but was not out of the fight. He continued to maneuver until struck<br />
down by a second burst. Chief Brown is the recipient of the Bronze Star with combat “V” and the Purple Heart.<br />
CorporaL danieL hiCkey, USmC<br />
In 2008, Lance Corporal Daniel Hickey’s mounted patrol was ambushed by medium machine gun fire and<br />
rocket-propelled grenades from a large element of enemy fighters occupying elevated positions adjacent to<br />
his patrol. After Lance Corporal Hickey’s vehicle commander dismounted to employ his grenade launcher,<br />
he was struck in the leg by machine gun fire, rendering him immobile. Seeing this, Lance Corporal Hickey<br />
immediately dismounted and rushed to recover his wounded leader. While machine gun fire impacted inches<br />
from him, Lance Corporal Hickey dragged the Marine to his vehicle and began lifting him inside. Amidst the<br />
renewed enemy onslaught, Lance Corporal Hickey knelt in place, sighted in on an enemy machine gun and<br />
rocket team and engaged, killing several fighters as they prepared to fire on his patrol, saving the life of his<br />
vehicle commander. For his actions, he was awarded the Silver Star Medal.<br />
petty offiCer SeCond CLaSS Brendon ramoS, USCg<br />
In 2010, Petty Officer Brendon Ramos conducted five counter-piracy maritime vessel boardings which resulted<br />
in the detention of 50 suspected pirates and the seizure of a large weapons cache. Additionally, Petty Officer<br />
Ramos played a central role in rescuing five Yemeni fishermen held captive at sea by 13 pirates and in the<br />
detainment and transfer of the pirates to the Yemen government for prosecution. While serving aboard the USS<br />
SAN JACINTO, Petty Officer Ramos received a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for his actions during<br />
a counter piracy boarding when a fellow Boarding Team Member fell into the water during heavy weather.<br />
Petty Officer Ramos, a skilled Coast Guard small boat coxswain with extensive close aboard small boat handling<br />
experience, professionally took the small boat controls at a critical moment to carry out a proper rescue of the<br />
member who was pulled out of the water and out of harm’s way.<br />
Staff Sergeant ChriStopher n. freeman, USaf *<br />
During one 4-day operation in Afghanistan, Staff Sergeant Christopher N. Freeman led his team on a casualty<br />
evacuation mission, infilling under direct enemy fire. Once on the ground, Sergeant Freeman provided quick<br />
triage and treatment, dramatically reduced time-on-target, and saved the lives of three <strong>America</strong>n soldiers. On<br />
another occasion, Sergeant Freeman responded to an IED that had injured five Marines. Sergeant Freeman and<br />
his team rapidly triaged the multiple blast injuries and saved all five Marines’ lives. During his deployment,<br />
Sergeant Freeman’s heroic actions and disregard for his own personal safety led to the treatment of 147 patients<br />
and 98 lives saved. Sergeant Freeman is the recipient of the Air Medal with 10 Oak Leaf clusters and the Air<br />
Force Commendation Medal. * Did not attend event due to deployment in Afghanistan.<br />
petty offiCer firSt CLaSS (SeaL) Corey S. novotny, USn (representing UssOCOM)<br />
While on overwatch during the clearance of the Malmand Bazaar in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, Petty<br />
Officer First Class Corey S. Novotny acted heroically and without hesitation to save his element leader after<br />
he stepped on a Pressure Plate Improvised Explosive Device, becoming critically wounded, with both legs<br />
instantly amputated and suffering catastrophic blood loss. Petty Officer Novotny selflessly rushed to the<br />
scene, moved the officer to safety, and began rendering medical care, despite the discovery of other IEDs. With<br />
minutes of fuel remaining for the casualty evacuation helicopter and constrained by the surrounding active<br />
IED field, Petty Officer Novotny rapidly applied life-saving tourniquets and directed his team in trauma care<br />
as they carefully maneuvered 300 yards through the active IED field for casualty pickup. His actions enabled<br />
the rapid evacuations of the casualty to surgical care within the critical “golden hour,” saving his life.<br />

Latino-Jewish Alliance<br />
Through a partnership with the Latino community, <strong>JINSA</strong> is expanding the base of support for<br />
increasing U.S. security and furthering <strong>America</strong>’s security relationship with Israel, from which the<br />
United States draws great benefit. To that end, in <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>JINSA</strong> inaugurated the Latino-Jewish<br />
Alliance for a Secure <strong>America</strong>.<br />
The Alliance is not a dialogue. It is a true partnership focused on mutual concerns.<br />
The first program of the Latino-Jewish Alliance for a Secure <strong>America</strong> took place in January: a<br />
week-long trip to Israel for Latino leaders to meet with policymakers and military officials and to<br />
experience the wonders of the land including its holy sites. It was a tremendous success.<br />
The second program was held in June in Houston: a full-day conference and planning meeting<br />
featuring presentations by the founding members of the Alliance on the importance of Israel to<br />
<strong>America</strong>’s national security and a keynote address by San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who was<br />
on his way to Israel.<br />
Future programming will include – in conjunction with <strong>JINSA</strong>’s long-standing program of securityoriented<br />
consultations with friendly foreign governments – a high-level delegation visit to Colombia.<br />
Topics to be discussed will include expansion of trade, regional security issues such as Iran’s<br />
growing presence, and further assistance to the Colombian government’s successful efforts to<br />
expand democracy and security to all areas of the country.<br />

<strong>JINSA</strong> has formed leadership groups called “Cabinets” in various communities in<br />
the United States to promote its mission of advocating on behalf of a strong U.S.<br />
military, a robust national security policy and a strong U.S. security relationship with<br />
Israel and other like-minded democracies. <strong>JINSA</strong>’s goal is to improve awareness in<br />

Naval Special Warfare Command HQ, Coronado, CA<br />
On March 31–April 1, <strong>2011</strong>, a delegation led by <strong>JINSA</strong> Advisory Board Member Admiral Leon<br />
“Bud” Edney, USN (ret.) visited the Naval Special Warfare Command headquarters at the Naval<br />
Amphibious Base in Coronado, California.<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> hosted Naval Special Warfare (NSW) members and their spouses for a reception and<br />
dinner, where the commander of Naval Special Warfare Group One, Captain Alexander L.<br />
Krongard, discussed challenges facing NSW in the prosecution of the war in Afghanistan.<br />
The next day included a special briefing by Rear Admiral Garry J. Bonelli, USN, Deputy<br />
Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command. Admiral Bonelli discussed NSW’s importance<br />
at a time when the United States is the target of terror organizations worldwide. He also thanked<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> for its past and ongoing support of the men and women of NSW.<br />
In addition, Special Boat Teams 12 and 20 demonstrated the capabilities of the two types of craft<br />
in their inventory: the Mark V 81-foot, a medium range boat used for insertion and extraction<br />
of SEALs and other Special Operations forces in low to medium threat environments, and the<br />
11-meter Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat, a high speed, high buoyancy, extreme weather boat tasked<br />
with insertion and extraction of SEALs from enemy-occupied beaches.<br />
Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA<br />
On May 23–24, <strong>2011</strong>, a <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation from the New York area led by <strong>JINSA</strong> Advisory Board<br />
Member Major General Larry Taylor, USMCR (ret.) was hosted by the Marine Corps Combat<br />
Development Command (MCCDC) at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia.<br />
The program began with a dinner at the Officers Club attended by senior officers including<br />
Brigadier General John Bullard, USMC, Deputy Commanding General, MCCDC. The <strong>JINSA</strong><br />
group had ample time to interact and engage with our Marine hosts to discuss issues as they<br />
relate to Marine Corps operations around the world.<br />
The evening concluded with a briefing by the Director of MCCDC’s Seabasing Integration Division,<br />
Colonel Jim Strock, USMC (ret.), on the requirements and strategy of Marine Corps Seabasing,<br />
that is, the ability to conduct selected functions and tasks at sea without reliance on traditional<br />
infrastructure, such as naval bases and airfields.<br />
The following day, the <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation was briefed on how the Marines fight, as well as on<br />
current operations. The <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation was also briefed by The Weapons Training Battalion<br />
(WTB) during their visit.<br />
A lunch with enlisted Marines added a personal connection to the program as the <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation<br />
had the opportunity to hear first-hand about their training and experiences overseas. The program<br />
concluded with a visit to the Driver Training Facility for a demonstration on how the Marines train<br />
to survive Humvee rollovers. The <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation also had the opportunity to participate in a<br />
convoy simulator used to train Marines to repel attacks while safeguarding civilian lives. The<br />
simulator is a key training tool for Marines preparing to deploy in Iraq and Afghanistan.<br />

Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, VA<br />
On July 13–14, <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>JINSA</strong> Flag and General Officers Trip Participant Rear Admiral Mark R.<br />
Milliken, USN (ret.) accompanied a <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation to visit Naval Special Warfare Groups<br />
(NSWG) 2 and 4 at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Virginia.<br />
Building on <strong>JINSA</strong>’s long history of close relations with <strong>America</strong>’s special operations units, the visit<br />
served as an update for the organization’s leadership, members of which last visited Little Creek<br />
in November 2007. The <strong>JINSA</strong> delegation visited with SEAL Team 2 (a component of NSWG 2)<br />
and also with the Special Warfare Combat Crewmen (SWCC) teams of NSWG 4. SWCC are the<br />
sailors and officers that operate the various boats from which SEALs deploy and derive support.<br />
The commander of Naval Special Warfare Group 2, Captain Timothy J. Szymanski, offered<br />
remarks during dinner, where <strong>JINSA</strong> hosted ten Navy SEALs and their families. “I want to thank<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> for recognizing the Navy Special Warfare Command as a community and at the individual<br />
level.”<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> delegation members received a series of detailed briefings on all aspects of NSW tactics,<br />
developments and deployments. Rear Admiral Garry J. Bonelli, USN, Deputy Commander<br />
of Naval Special Warfare Command, emphasized that the small community of some 2,900 of<br />
these elite commandos has seen extensive combat in Afghanistan over the last several years as<br />
well as in Iraq. Admiral Bonelli said that, at the strategic level, total personnel assigned to NSW<br />
was expected to grow even as defense budget cuts are expected due to high demand for their<br />
services. Right now there are some 2,000 enlisted SEALs, 220 SEAL officers and 750 personnel<br />
in the SWCC community. All told, Naval Special Warfare command accounts for just 1.8 percent<br />
of the total personnel in the U.S. armed forces.<br />
The visit to Little Creek concluded with the unique opportunity to observe a full rehearsal for an<br />
upcoming Capabilities Exercise where, on a Chesapeake Bay beach, SEAL and SWCC teams<br />
demonstrated a wide range of their skills including precision parachuting, beach infiltration and<br />
obstacle destruction, beach extraction by boat, sniping targets, boat operations close to shore,<br />
helicopter infiltration by fast roping, the taking down of a terrorist hideout and helicopter extraction.<br />
R. Adm. Garry J. Bonelli, USN, Deputy Commander<br />
of Naval Special Warfare Command, privately<br />
briefed trip participants on education of the force.<br />
Trip participants aboard a Rigid Hull Inflatable<br />
Boat (RHIB). Participants also had a chance to ride<br />
aboard a Mark V medium range boat.

Law Enforcement<br />
<strong>2011</strong><br />
28<br />
Participating in the Law Enforcement Exchange Program with <strong>JINSA</strong> has<br />
profoundly impacted my life as an <strong>America</strong>n, a law enforcement officer, and<br />
a Sheriff. After listening to the instructors who have experienced the tragedy<br />
of terrorism and witnessed catastrophic bloodshed firsthand, I have a greater<br />
appreciation for the peace of mind we enjoy as <strong>America</strong>ns. I now have a<br />
heightened awareness of the modes and possibility of terrorism within our own<br />
borders and feel better prepared to prevent, detect, and respond to terrorist<br />
threats. The training and insight this program provides is invaluable.<br />
~ Sheriff Grady Judd, Polk County, Florida Sheriff’s Office<br />
<strong>2011</strong> LEEP participant<br />
In June <strong>2011</strong>, the Law Enforcement Exchange Program brought 14 top level <strong>America</strong>n police<br />
chiefs, sheriffs and senior federal agents to Israel for a week-long program designed to strengthen<br />
<strong>America</strong>n law enforcement counterterrorism practices by facilitating dialogue with and studying<br />
techniques used by their Israeli counterparts. Many of the participants are leaders from national<br />
law enforcement associations like the National Sheriffs’ Association, the Major County Sheriffs’<br />
Association, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the Police Executive<br />
Research Forum (PERF).<br />
While in Israel, the group was briefed by their Israeli counterparts on a wide range of subjects. For<br />
most of the participants, this was their first time in Israel. The knowledge gained on this program<br />
will help their departments keep citizens safer and ensure that <strong>America</strong>n communities are better<br />
prepared to deal with the realities of terrorism.<br />
This year’s trip was made possible by the generosity of Dr. Arthur & Sari Agatston,<br />
Jeffrey & Helen Horowitz, and Jack & Heidi Loeb.

Finances<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong>’s operating revenues are stable in fiscal year <strong>2011</strong>, as indicated by financial information<br />
to date; however, we do anticipate the worldwide economic downturn to affect <strong>JINSA</strong>’s yearend<br />
revenues. <strong>JINSA</strong>’s fiscal year runs from January 1 to December 31. <strong>JINSA</strong>’s financial audits<br />
confirm that revenues grew from approximately $3 million in 2009 to $3.4 million in 2010. <strong>JINSA</strong>’s<br />
revenues come from donors, private foundations, and corporations that strongly support annual<br />
dinners in Washington, DC and Houston, TX.<br />
While always striving to maintain its existing donors, several years ago <strong>JINSA</strong> made a strategic<br />
fundraising decision to expand its membership in communities across the country through<br />
leadership groups and cabinets. The investment is paying off. After each Cabinet meeting, <strong>JINSA</strong><br />
has been able to add new supporters. We anticipate that these cabinets will continue to serve as<br />
a mechanism of growth for <strong>JINSA</strong> in the years ahead.<br />
Over 300 private foundations support <strong>JINSA</strong>. We are honored and pleased to confirm a threeyear<br />
grant commitment from the Marcus Foundation, Inc. to expand <strong>JINSA</strong>’s Military Academies<br />
Program. This will enable us to achieve our goal of increasing the number of cadets and midshipmen<br />
participating in the program, as well as to bring Israeli defense and security experts to the U.S.<br />
to lecture in the <strong>America</strong>n military academies. Additionally, in <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>JINSA</strong>’s Law Enforcement<br />
Exchange Program (LEEP) trip to Israel was fully funded by three private donors. Our goal for 2012<br />
is to continue our fundraising strategy to fully fund this critical program. We have not, however,<br />
neglected more traditional sources of funds: in September, the <strong>2011</strong> Houston Dinner, our biggest<br />
fundraising event of the year, raised close to $750,000.<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong> has taken significant action to reduce spending. In January <strong>2011</strong>, we moved to a<br />
new office, which while still suitable for <strong>JINSA</strong>, reduced our rent by 50%; and we cut our<br />
administrative staffing levels. Due to the hard work of our professional staff, these actions have<br />
in no way lessened the number or impact of our programs.<br />
<strong>JINSA</strong>’s goal for the years ahead is to continue to diversify the sources of our income, which is<br />
expected to lead to an even more stable revenue flow in the future. We also plan to expand our<br />
existing programs as well as develop additional programs related to the security issues of our<br />
country and Israel.<br />
