The true test of character comes not
when things go wrong, but when things
are going well.
When thing go wrong, that’s when most
people turn to, or return to God.

But when life is prosperous and no
rainclouds are in sight, it’s all too easy
not to invest time in a deep relationship
with God.
But when the train hits hard, a steady
foundation in the Lord is vital.

For a time, Israel prospered and forgot the
One True God. The nation turned their backs
on the Creator, and they’ve paid
the consequences.
Jeremiah, the prophet was their last hope
of turning things around.

So it be with great, prosperous nations
like the U.S.
Have we become so powerful that pride
has blinded our spirits in a culture
where “anything goes?”

Let’s dig deep into Jeremiah together
and be inspired to live in God’s
demanding love.

JEREMIAH:
“Very well done. Good study length per
chapter. Highly recommend it, as it
closely parallels the times we are living
in today.” – Amazon Review

personal protective equipment (PPE)
prevents exposure.
Ebola Virus Disease
W h a t Yo u N e e d t o K n o w

Risk of Infection
ƒƒ

with Ebola is not dangerous.
Contact with healthy individuals

a person’s risk of becoming infected.
Ebola Virus Disease

Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
Although people can be infected with Ebola virus
and not yet feel sick, they are not contagious
until they have symptoms.
Ebola Virus Disease

Risk of Infection
ƒƒ
By the time a person is very infectious to others,
they are typically very ill and not walking around
or doing normal activities.
Ebola Virus Disease

Vaccines
ƒƒ
No FDA-approved vaccine is currently available
to protect against Ebola virus infection.
The experimental Ebola virus vaccines are so early
in development that safety testing has just started.
Ebola Virus Disease

Vaccines
ƒƒ
The Department of Defense is closely monitoring
the testing of new Ebola virus vaccines
and treatments.
Ebola Virus Disease

Treatment
ƒƒ
Standard treatment for Ebola is supportive care
which is balancing the patient’s fluids
and electrolytes, maintaining their oxygen status
and blood pressure,
and treating them for any complicating infections.
Ebola Virus Disease

Treatment
ƒƒ
Successful recovery from an Ebola virus infection
likely depends more on early recognition
and treatment with supportive care
at a state-of-the-art hospital
than on the experimental treatment now available.

Units located on
U.S. Army Garrison Japan Honshu installations
must coordinate with
the Hazardous Material Control Center
at Sagami General Depot
when purchasing hazardous materials.

Please procure recycled, bio-based or
environmentally preferable materials
when they are available in a timely manner,
they meet your unit’s performance standards
and are reasonably priced.

U.S. military personnel and facilities, both at home and
abroad, remain potential targets for those who wish to do
them harm.
Throughout our history, the U.S. Army has tackled the
toughest challenges.
If you see something, say something.

Adversarial forces adapt their tactics to avoid strength,
exploit weakness, and demonstrate their capability to attack
at the time and place of their choosing.
Individual awareness of suspicious activities is a key element
in the identification of potential threatening actions.

Criminal assault methods have evolved over the past century
to a present-day "insider" threat possibility.
Suspicious activity reporting is a fundamental element of the
programs in place to keep both the U.S. Army Japan and U.S.
Army Garrison Japan communities safe.

From deploying units around the area of responsibility to
Corps of Engineers projects throughout Japan, every activity,
every mission and every operation will have situational
awareness.

Both the iWATCH Army and iSALUTE reporting programs are
community tools in our arsenal against threats to force
protection.

We know our missions, our operations and our
responsibilities.
Report suspicious activities to your local Military Police or
ATO by calling: 263-3002 or 911 and or off post 046-407-3002
or 046-407-911
