Since the arrival of the first HC-130J Combat King II to D-M Nov. 15, the men and women of the 563rd Rescue Group have been working to get the aircraft to full-operational capability. The 79th Rescue Squadron is preparing to take the new HC-130J Combat King II on its first ever deployment. They will be rotating personnel and aircraft during the next 20 months for this deployment in support of contingency operations. “This upcoming deployment represents the culmination of years of work and training,” said Lt. Col. Michael Guischard, 79th RQS commander. “The men and women of the 79th RQS are ready to apply their skills in the new aircraft on the battlefield to save lives.” Gen. Mike Hostage, Air Combat Command commander, declared initial operational capability of the HC-130J Combat King II effective April 25, with no restrictions. The 79th RQS recently converted from the HC130P Combat King to the HC-130J Combat King II. The new $66 million aircraft has enhanced safety, avionic features and air conditioning system, expanded cargo handling and is more fuel efficient. It can also give and receive in-flight refueling. It normally takes 12 months to get a new aircraft ready to deploy. The 563rd RQG has done it in 10 months. “The most rewarding part of preparing the new aircraft for the deployment has been seeing everyone come together with the limited resources to get the squadron ready in a short amount of time,” said Tech.
Sgt. John Lemoine, 79th RQS loadmaster. While the aircraft may look like a C-130 on the outside, the new technology contained inside dictated an extensive nine- to ten-month training program. To prepare the new aircraft for this deployment, members of the 79th RQS had to go on temporary duty to Little Rock AFB, Ark. and Kirtland AFB, N.M. Two crew positions were removed in the new aircraft. The aircrew had to learn the differences in the aircraft by hands-on experience. The preparations included testing the new features, rewriting publications and post flight meetings were conducted to discuss lessons learned. “The most significant thing that we had to do was training,” said Senior Master Sgt. John Hammonds, 923rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron assistant superintendent. “The initial cadre of trainers were assigned to the test and evaluation team. Once we successfully tested the initial aircraft, we came to the operational squadrons to form the core of expertise for others to learn.” The 79th RQS now has six HC-130J Combat King II aircraft in their inventory, with one additional aircraft assigned for operational testing. The HC-130J conducts missions from homeland defense to contingency operations. The aircraft conducts civilian and combat search and rescue, medical evacuations, disaster and humanitarian relief, security cooperation and non-combatant evacuation. In order to conduct these missions, the 79th RQS trains to contour low-level operations, conduct airdrops of equipment and personnel to isolated and injured personnel, provide refueling to helicopters and communications for the search and rescue task force. According to the Air Force fact sheet, the HC-130J
Combat King II, along with the HC-130 legacy fleet, is the U.S. Air Force’s only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform. HC-130Js are currently flown by ACC and Air Education and Training Command. “The 79th RQS was selected to receive the first HC130J Combat King II because they had the oldest C130s in ACC and the Air Force’s personnel recovery function was recognized as a mission area in dire need of recapitalization,” Guischard said.

Rescue group Airmen pick up injured paraglider Master Sgt. Luke Johnson 943rd Rescue Group public affairs
Southern Arizona Citizen Airmen from the 943rd Rescue Group chalked up another rescue within the week late Friday night, May 31. The rescue team was taking part in a night vision goggle parachuting training exercise when the helicopter flight mission commander overheard a possible downed aircraft with injured people onboard. “As the pararesucemen were jumping with NVGs out of the helicopter, I heard communications about a downed aircraft with an injured person onboard and another individual walking around the crash site,” said Capt. Brent Watts, 305th Rescue Squadron HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter pilot. Watts immediately responded to let local rescue assets know he had a team in the area that had all of the necessary medical equipment and personnel onboard to assist. He learned that the Life Flight response helicopter was unable to land at the crash site due to the steepness of the terrain. He also found out that the aircraft was a paraglider. “Once we were assigned the mission, we had to improvise with the medical gear that we had on hand because we were not going to waste time turning around,” said Tech. Sgt. Richard Dunn, 306th Rescue Squadron pararescueman. “We loaded our medical gear and came up with a rescue plan in flight.” As the 943rd RQG rescue team arrived on scene in the Santa Rita Mountains, south of Tucson, Ariz., they learned that one of the survivors was in good condition, but the other had a broken leg and arm. “The steep terrain forced us to crawl on our hands and knees in the dark to get to the victim; we had spent a lot more time on the ground than originally planned securing and treating the patient,”

said Dunn. Once secured onboard the helicopter, they treated and transported the crash victims to the University of Arizona medical center emergency room. “The teamwork between the PJ’s on the ground and the aircrew was phenomenal,” said Dunn. “We planned the mission in flight, and once on the ground were able to improvise and overcome the challenges we faced on difficult mountainous terrain.” This was the second night rescue for the 943rd RQG within a week. The previous rescue took place May 22 where the group responded to, and airlifted an injured hiker from the Chiricahua National Monument. “It was very rewarding to be part of this mis-

sion,” said Dunn. “This mission motivated me to work harder and do my best during all of the long hours of training that we do as PJ’s.” Watt’s echoed Dunn’s sentiments on how countless hours of training and preparing for every possible scenario has helped ensure a flawless rescue mission. “We are the best equipped and trained searchand-rescue team in Southern Arizona, and it’s really rewarding to be able to pull someone from a perilous situation and immediately evacuate them to get the care they need,” said Watts.

Leaders urge care in changing commanders’ UCMJ responsibilities American Forces Press Service
W A S H I N G T O N (AFNS) -- Commanders must be a part of any solution to the crisis of sexual assault in the military, service leaders told the Senate Armed Services Committee today. Commanders are responsible not only for the health and welfare of those in their commands, but also for good order and discipline, they emphasized. Some legislative proposals before Congress would take away commanders’ responsibilities under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for sexual assault crimes. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the service chiefs agreed that commanders have an important role to play in changing the culture that allows sexual assaults in the military. Dempsey told the senators that he welcomes their input and will work closely with them. “As we consider further reforms, the role
of the commander should remain central,” he said. “Our goal should be to hold commanders more accountable, not render them less able to help us correct the crisis.” Each commander - no matter the service - has the responsibility to preserve order and discipline, the chairman told the senators. This, he said, is essential to bringing about change. “[Commanders] punish criminals and they protect victims when and where no other jurisdiction is capable of doing so, or lawfully able to do so,” he said. “Commanders are accountable for all that goes on in a unit, and ultimately, they are responsible for the success of the missions assigned to them.” Being responsible for “good order and discipline” is unique to the military. This is why, for example, that ship captains - even those not near the bridge - often lose their jobs when the craft runs aground. Commanders are responsible for setting command climates, and in that role are responsible for changing the culture, the military
Top down, accidents up Benjamin Newell Air Combat Command Public Affairs
LANGLEY AFB, Va. -- Private motor vehicle mishaps continue to be the number one cause of off-duty fatalities in the Air Force during the summer. Over the past three years, 36 Airmen have died in personal vehicle accidents. Personal vehicle related deaths also remain, by far, the most significant cause of off-duty fatalities year-round, according to the Air Force Safety Center. “When we conduct our safety briefings, we emphasize that Airmen should approach preparing for a road trip like running checklists at work before an inspection,” said Master Sgt. Sean Rouillier, Air Combat Command’s manager of ground safety operations. “Just like you wouldn’t pilot an aircraft without following a safety check, you wouldn’t get in a car without making sure you’ve got properly inflated tires, enough gas for the trip, plenty of sleep, and your seatbelt properly fastened.” Airmen under 26 years old are also required to have a pre-departure brief one-on-one with a supervisor before leaving on a trip requiring more than one duty day to return from, according to Rouillier. The Air Force Safety Center reminds Airmen getting “On the Road Again” to keep in mind the family, friends and co-workers relying on you to use caution and arrive alive. To help you return, remember you have the responsibility to plan for and mitigate hazards. To plot your trip, and ensure the safety of passengers and fellow motorists, ACC’s safety office recommends using the Army Travel Risk Planning System, accessible through the Air Force Portal.
leaders said. Commanders use the military justice system as a tool to quickly and visibly punish those who commit crimes, deter others from committing crimes, and protect victims. Nonjudicial administrative punishment - known as “Article 15s” in military parlance for the UCMJ article that authorizes it - is one example of the accountability process that is unique to the military. Taking commanders out of this loop takes that tool from their hands, the military leaders told the senators. Being a commander, of course, entails much more than simply threatening an Article 15, Dempsey said. “Commanders and leaders of every rank must earn that trust and therefore engender trust in their units,” he said. “Most do. Most do not allow unit cohesion to mask an undercurrent of betrayal. Most rise to the challenge of leadership every day, even under the most demanding, physical and moral circumstances.” The service chiefs were equally
adamant that commanders must be part of the solution. “If I believed that removing commanders from their central role of responsibility in addressing sexual assault would solve the crimes within our ranks, I would be your strongest proponent,” Gen. Ray Odierno, Army chief of staff, said. “But ... making commanders less responsible and less accountable will not work,” he added. “It will undermine the readiness of the force. It will inhibit our commanders’ ability to shape the climate and discipline of our units, and most importantly, it will hamper the timely delivery of justice to the very people we wish to help: the victims and survivors of these horrific crimes.” Eliminating sexual assault requires the involvement of leaders and commanders, the chief of naval operations told the senators. “It is assuredly a leadership issue and fundamentally embedded in what

Exchange transitioning to Rip-Stop ABU
DALLAS – As the Air Force transitions from the Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) to the Rip-Stop Airman Battle Uniform (RABU), the Army & Air Force Exchange Service will no longer be able to order the ABU once the Defense Logistics Agency’s stock is depleted and will sell only the RABU. “While the ABUs will still be authorized for wear, they will not be carried in Exchange Military Clothing Stores as the RABU will completely replace the older, heavier ABU,” said the Exchange’s Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. The RABU is a lighter, nylon/cotton blend that has been available for Airmen at Military Clothing Stores since June, 2012. The RABU is also cooler than the ABU and features a wrinkle-resistant finish. Military members can access the Exchange’s Military Clothing Store at www.shopmyexchange.com by clicking “Military Clothing Store” under the Store Locator link at the bottom of the page or locate the nearest Military Clothing brick and mortar location through the Store Locator link at http://www.shopmyexchange. com/ExchangeStores/.

‘Rebluing’: Why do we say that? Commentary by Chief Master Sgt. Donald Felch I.G. Brown Training and Education Center
MCGHEE TYSON AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Tenn. (AFNS) -- Since shortly after its birth as a separate service, American Airmen have worn the color blue. Blue represents the sky above earth; a medium the Air Force first aimed to conquer. Blue in our uniforms, in our shield and in our official symbol is also commonly connected to loyalty and courage. Airmen have shown loyalty and courage in every significant conflict since the dawn of flight and continue doing so today. Air Force blue begins entering our lives in basic military training. We learn about being Airmen. We share common experiences, learn attention to detail and become eager to dedicate ourselves to the mission. We are forged in the furnaces before proceeding to technical training where we learn a skill. Our instructors teach us the professional standards we need to follow in our specific career fields. Here, we are shaped and polished. When we report to our first assignment we are “blue”. Our blue is strong, straight and true. We have become weapons of our nation -- weapons of the highest quality and accuracy. As we go about our daily lives, on and off duty, in and out of uniform, we face challenges, weather storms, experience occasional failures and meet with other forms of adversity. We listen to others complain. We grow tired of facing the same obstacles at every turn. Sometimes we run across situations we haven’t
been trained to handle and get discouraged. Since we are human, these things can wear away at our blue. They can make us dull. As with any weapon or tool, constant use without periodic maintenance can lower effectiveness. Airmen are no different. Bluing is a process often used by gun manufacturers, gunsmiths and gun owners to improve the cosmetic appearance of, and provide corrosion resistance to, firearms, according to Walter J. Howe in his 1946 book, “Professional Gunsmithing”. All blued parts still need to be properly oiled to prevent rust. Professional military education is a rebluing process for Airmen. In the course of our studies, activities, and even social events, we improve our cosmetic appearance -- reminding one another about the proper wear of the uniform and the importance of a professional image. We obtain corrosion resistance as we discuss the core values and the NCO and senior NCO responsibilities. We reaffirm our collective dedication to professional standards. This reaffirmation defends us from cynicism, negative thoughts and griping. Just as it does with worn firearms, our rebluing process returns us to the highest quality and accuracy. In Air Force PME, the rebluing process serves exactly the same purpose it serves with any worn weapon. It improves cosmetic appearance, prevents corrosion and improves overall functionality. When America takes up arms to defend herself against those who would destroy our way of life, her aim is straight and true because as Airmen, we remain blue.
“Sometimes we run across situations we haven’t been trained to handle and get discouraged. Since we are human, these things can wear away at our blue. They can make us dull. As with any weapon or tool, constant use without periodic maintenance can lower effectiveness.”

Critical Days of Summer Senior Airman Camilla A Griffin 355th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
The Air Force designated May 25 through Sept. 4 of every year as the Critical Days of Summer. The Air Force-wide campaign dedicated to ensuring Airmen have an injury-free summer has run annually since the early 1980s, and was developed to counter the traditional increase in Air Force mishaps and fatalities that occur during the summer months. This is the time of the year when the number of mishaps rises considerably because people are partaking in more outdoor activities. Personnel on-duty tend to be in a hurry to get off work to enjoy activities. Campaign efforts attempt to increase personal awareness of risk, and thereby reduce the number of summer mishaps and fatalities. Traditional efforts include: messages by senior leadership; mass briefings by commanders; weekly supervisory briefings; pre-trip, travel and departure briefings and so forth. Each installation targets its efforts based upon its local hazards and needs. “The main thing to be weary of in Arizona is the extreme temperature during the day, and even at night,” said Master Sgt. Kevin Armstrong, 355th Fighter Wing ground safety
technician. “It is still possible to get heat exhaustion at night here.” D-M is also one of the few bases that have to worry about monsoon season, which happens to take place during the Critical Days of Summer. During the last five years from June to September, Tucson has received an average of 5.69 inches of rain due to monsoons. One of the most dangerous hazards is impaired driving. It is common during summer because of cook-outs, get-togethers and other events where people tend to drink alcoholic beverages. Another thing to look out for on the road is other drivers, motorcycle riders and four-wheelers. The 355th FW Ground Safety office wants Airmen to always be prepared for possible mishaps. If taking a roadtrip, prepare for it by placing a vehicle safety kit in the car and pack extra bottles of water in case of being stranded. While driving mishaps are severe, they are not the only focus of the summer safety campaign. D-M had more than 35 sports and recreational mishaps, and more than 10 motorcycle accidents during the summer of 2012. The summer months are when service members tend to travel, vacation or partake in other activities that inherently come with a higher risk for danger.
“A lot of people forget about being safe and planning ahead to avoid incidents,” Armstrong said. “Safety is 24/7.”
Summer weather brings people out of their homes to enjoy more outdoor activities which requires more vigilance for possible safety mishaps. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Sarah Ruckreigle)

Families to join Airmen in Southwest Asia would be normally found throughout the United States. Some malls even offer indoor ice skating or amusementpark rides. The presence of both permanent party and rotational members at this location make for a very unique experience. While there are various museums, theaters and nearby beaches that provide unique cultural experiences, the main aspect of CSP is keeping families together. “One of the traditional advantages to serving a command sponsored tour is the ability to keep dependents united with their military sponsors,” said Lt. Col. David Stanfield, previous 379th Air Expeditionary Wing CSP manager. “Our program represents a rare opportunity for Air Force dependents to live in a part of the world normally only experienced by Air Force members on a deployment.” Captain Jill Heliker, Theater Engineering branch chief, agreed. She and her husband, Jon, were one of the first four Air Force families to be command sponsored in Southwest Asia, and are considered program pioneers. “When the opportunity was presented for a one-year unaccompanied tour or a two-year accompanied tour, the decision was easy for us,” she said. “We knew there would be hurdles being one of the first families to arrive, but it would be a unique experience that traditional deployers do not get to share with their families.

SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFNS) -- Fifteen Airmen assigned to U.S. Air Forces Central Command, the Combined Air and Space Operations Center, and the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing are taking advantage of a twoyear accompanied tour opportunity -- and numbers continue to grow. In the next few years a total of 60 families will be in Southwest Asia. The Command Sponsorship Program is an accompanied-tour initiative started in 2011 to increase mission effectiveness through extended permanent party presence, greater mission continuity and fewer burdens on families. Permanent party tours are considered “accompanied” only when the overseas installation commander or designated representative approves an individual’s request for their family to reside with them at a particular location. Families serving an AFCENT-accompanied tour reside off base in the local community, attend local schools and obtain most goods and services from the local economy, enjoying an opportunity to experience what the dynamic Middle Eastern society has to offer. Families shop at local “souqs” or markets, where they can barter for silks, carpets, spices, antiques and gold. They can also shop at one of the many malls for access to items that

Corporals Course opens for other military branches Senior Airman Timothy Moore 355th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
The U.S. Marine Corps Corporals Leadership Course opened its door to service members from both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy here May 11-25. The two-week course is designed to equip new, or soon-to-be, noncommissioned officers with the tools and knowledge to effectively lead their troops, no matter the service. “By being able to do joint operations like this, because they are going to be doing it later on in their careers, is a great and perfect way to get those preconceived notions out of the way,” said U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Timothy Taylor, Corporals Leadership Course instructor from Bulk Fuel Company C, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group at Luke AFB, Ariz. “It makes them realize that they are on the same team, fighting the same fight. We are all brothers.” The course taught students a medley of skills such as
physical training, to include techniques from the U.S. Marine Corps Martial Arts Program; public speaking; counseling training and professional military education training. “The purpose of Corporals Course is to instruct newly promoted NCOs to essentially become better leaders,” Taylor said, “It’s to inspire leadership, teach them new skills and give them, not a mastery of knowledge, but an introductory of knowledge to things they will be doing.” “I’m learning a lot with the Marines, as far as their training and their combat,” said U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Shay James, from the Naval Operational Support Center here. Days began with a morning formation at 5 a.m., which was usually followed by various forms of physical training. “I wasn’t expecting the level of aptitude that they have,” said U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Micah Bergeron, from the 355th Medical Support Squadron. “They really beat you, but the PT is good for you and

builds the endurance.” Daily from 5 a.m. to approximately 6 p.m., students would march, work, eat and learn with and from each other. “When I showed up, I was not informed that there were any Air Force or Navy personnel here,” said U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Gregory Hanson, also from the 6th ESB at Luke. “It’s been a lot of fun and very enjoyable to work with Airmen and Sailors. I got to learn a lot about both services, something I did not expect at this course.” The course ended May 25 with a graduation ceremony, but Hanson was not the only person that enjoyed working with the other services and hopes there are other opportunities like this. “I love working with other services,” Taylor said. “The Air Force and Navy service members that have been with us have been phenomenal. Some of our best students are Airmen. The experience our Marines are getting by working with other branches, because most of them haven’t before, is great experience for them.”

Day on the Job: EOD techs Senior Airman Benjamin Stratton 379th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Explosive ordnance disposal technicians deployed to Afghanistan perform counterimprovised explosive device operations in harsh conditions daily. Equipment and supplies are an essential element to this mission and without the modular supply depot here at the 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron’s EOD flight, safe, secure and reliable operations would suffer. “The big difference between here and stateside is that we do a lot of logistics moving supplies and equipment in and out of theater,” said Senior Master Sgt. Loren Green, the 379th ECES EOD flight superintendent. “Units in Afghanistan will coordinate what they need with U.S. Air Forces Central Command and if we have what they’re requesting, we’ll get it to them as soon as possible.” Green said if they can’t support it, the request is forwarded to other AFCENT wings and eventually stateside. Instead of the traditional combat role they fulfill in Afghanistan, Staff Sgt. Joel Calahan, a 379th ECES EOD craftsman, added they’re also an essential element in the force protection mission here. “It never gets old,” said Calahan. “We volunteered for this job -- you can’t be assigned to EOD, not to mention the technical school is very hard and has a high dropout rate, so you really have to be committed.” But after completing the 162 days of technical training, Green and Calahan said they get to play with many of the best equipment in the Air Force. “We definitely have some of the coolest toys,” Green said. “That’s why I got into it in the first place.” Joining the Air Force in 1996, fresh out of high school, Green, deployed here from Wright-Patterson

Air Force Base, Ohio, said he couldn’t see himself doing anything else. “When I first came in, we didn’t do nearly as much,” Green said. “Back then, we were pretty much an insurance policy and we all felt very under-utilized.” Much has changed in the last 17 years, including the expeditionary nature of the U.S. military following the start of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. “Now we’re an essential part of the mission,” he said. “Especially in the deployed environment.” As an EOD technician, Green and fellow technicians handle live explosives, daily. Their job is to detect, identify, render safe, recover and dispose of unsafe explosives and ordnance, including conventional military ordnance; criminal and terrorist homemade items; and chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.

“I love blowing stuff up,” said Green, the Tampa Bay, Fla., native. “They pay me extra money to do it, too. You can’t beat that anywhere.” EOD techs also have opportunities to work on the flightline during aircraft emergencies, on bombing ranges during range clearances, in munitions storage areas, in accident areas and in any other area or climate where an explosive hazard exists. They also analyze unknown munitions and explosives for exploitation and use by the intelligence agencies, and, in some cases, may provide protection to the president, vice president and other dignitaries in support of the United States Secret Service. “We’re all confident in our job and love what we do,” said Calahan. “I can’t see doing anything else in the Air Force.”

we call the ‘charge of command,’” said Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert. “The commanding officer is responsible and accountable for everything that happens in his or her ship, squadron or unit. And we expect our commanders to create a safe environment, founded on dignity and respect, one that reinforces our core values of honor, courage and commitment.” Successful and long-term changes in the military come about only when commanders are involved, the admiral said. Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James F. Amos told the committee that commanding officers are the centerpiece of the Marine Corps’ effectiveness as a professional and disciplined warfighting organization. “Commanding officers are charged with establishing and training to standards and uni-
formly enforcing those standards,” he said. “A unit will rise or fall as a direct result of the leadership of its commanding officer.” They never delegate responsibility, he added, and “they should never be forced to delegate their authority.” As Congress considers changes to the commander’s authority under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Amos said, “I plead with you to do it sensibly and responsibly.” The military has made cultural changes before. Until 1948, African-Americans served in segregated units. Until 2011, gay Americans had to serve in secret. “Our force has within it the moral courage to change course and reaffirm our professional ethos,” Dempsey said. “Working together, we can and will restore force within the trust and with the American people.”

From families, page 9 culture is something you can’t articulate over Skype; you have to experience it and living on the local economy has given us memories and stories we’ll never forget.” The wing made several changes to the program since its launch in 2011 to improve the level of support offered to families. For example, this location is home to the only Airman and Family Readiness Center in the AFCENT area of responsibility. “Our Airman and Family Readiness Center provides exceptional resources to assist families from the moment they are assigned to the installation, throughout their tour and when they begin to prepare for a move to their next assignment,” said Lt. Col. Eries Mentzer, 379th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron commander. “The center offers relocation assistance, loan locker items to sustain families while household good are shipping, a Key Spouse Program, employment assistance, volunteer opportunities and school liaison services for military children.” As more families arrive, there is one goal they all have in common - building a strong partnership with the host nation, and ensuring regional security and stability now and in the future. “Leslie and I didn’t hesitate at the possi-
bility of applying for an accompanied tour here,” said Brig. Gen. Roger H. Watkins, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing commander. “We feel privileged and honored to be here together as we prepare the base to move from an expeditionary to an enduring mission.” His wife agreed that being together and strengthening relationships are the most important aspects of this program. “Being separated from my husband and seeing other families separated from their loved ones due to deployments have been the norm, so I jumped at the chance when Roger asked if I would be willing to join him,” said Leslie Watkins. “I believe in this program because it is all about building bridges and relationships both internal and external. It strengthens our individual family, our military family, and, ideally, the extended community and cultural relationships. This has been an incredible and wonderful opportunity to share this deployment experience together.” Accompanied Airmen receive short tour credit upon completion of their assignment here.
