349TH AIR MOBILITY WING

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — The 349th Air Mobility Wing teamed up with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve to sponsor a Boss Lift for Reserve citizen airmen’s employers at Travis Air Force Base, April 1, 2023.The ESGR Boss Lift event is an opportunity for reservists to share a military experience with their civilian employers, so they have a better understanding of their airmen’s combat-ready mobility commitment.

“The Boss Lift is one of our biggest programs to educate our airmen’s employers,” said Aretha Chandler, ESGR military outreach director. “It’s a way of opening their eyes to what their employee is doing when they’re gone.”

Team Travis reservists took the opportunity to nominate their supervisors, and ESGR coordinated with the 349 AMW to arrange flight tours on two KC-10A Extenders and a C-17 Globemaster. There were 34 employers, and several airmen, who experienced a day in the life of Travis aircrew and their mission.

The event kicked off with a complimentary breakfast, followed by opening remarks from Col. Terry McGee, 349 AMW vice commander. Crew members briefed the passengers about safety and details on each airframe before departure.

“Today was very educational. It helped me appreciate what my employee does and the sacrifices he makes,” said Kimberly Vaquera, GenesisCare USA regional director of operations. “He holds a big role with us. I feel the impact with him being gone. But being here today gives me a greater appreciation.”

Vaquera thoroughly enjoyed the views from the KC-10’s boom pod as it connected with a second aircraft over the Pacific coastline. Many employers shared in their excitement over the sights from the cockpit and boom pod, as well as the time spent with the aircrew.

“I enjoyed the entire experience but loved going up to the cockpit and seeing the pilots in action, all the crew were so pro fessional,” said Leticia A. Lopez-Reynoso, Defense Logistics Management Agency quality specialist team supervisor. “I be lieve an experience like this always lets you realize how impor tant our service persons are.”

Most importantly, the Boss Lift connected employers with their employees by stepping into their shoes.

“I had the opportunity to learn more about my team mem ber’s service and got to experience a little bit of what his role entails,” said Allison Pfaendler, incident management assis tance team lead with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Pfaendler revealed her father is a pilot and was jealous to hear she had the opportunity to fly in a military aircraft. She took full advantage of her time in the KC-10A cockpit and boom pod by taking photos to share with him.

The overall event was a huge success due to the combined contributions of the 349 AMW Airmen and ESGR staff.

“Everyone talked about how helpful my team was and how well the team communicated with them. I just thought it was great,” Chandler said. “I am glad anytime they come off the plane and everybody’s smiling.”

Air Force releases Global Futures Report: Joint Functions in 2040

Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) —

The Air Force published its Global Futures Report April 12, assessing four potential operating environments Airmen may have to navigate in before the turn of the century.The report incorporates findings using Foresight Methodology to identify key forces and factors that will drive or constrain how the service will fight in 2040.

“This report defines success in challenging singular visions of the future while understanding disruptions will be the norm,” said Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote, Air Force Futures director. “The strategies we adopt and the forces we design must address the possibility of surprise, especially surprises that could transform

how we fight.”

The Air Force Global Futures Report: Joint Functions in 2040 explores four scenarios, or future operating environments, through the lens of the seven joint functions found in U.S. doctrine –fires, protection, movement and maneuver, information, intelligence, command and control (C2), and sustainment.

The report provides an assessment of each prediction to uncover weak signals, current trends and the forces that may impact future operations for the Air Force and Department of Defense. Potential alternative futures include:

Continued Growth – Great power competitors continue attempts to increase leverage over the United States and diminish its advantages.

Transformational – Unprec-

U.S. Air Force graphic The Air Force recently published its Global Futures Report. See REPORT Page 5

of resources.

Collapse – Natural and manmade crises drive isolationist and nationalist tendencies globally.

The report will be used to inform planners, strategists and wargame scenarios positioning Airmen to anticipate, prepare and operate in the future.

“In order to provide the appropriate level of national security

our nation relies on, we must understand the world in such a way that we maintain a faster decision cycle than our adversaries,” Hinote said. “Our strategic superiority depends on it.”

In addition to understanding the impact of today’s choices on tomorrow, the report has the ability to shape a budget approach that identifies and focuses on investments that are relevant across a variety of use cases, such as the ones depicted in the report.

Combat Casualty Care Course tests skills outside of hospitals

Terry Goodman MHS COMMUNICATIONS

When medical treatment begins on service members during combat operations, the most important hour in their life begins –the golden hour. The clock starts when medical care begins at the point of injury and ends when service members receive surgical treatment at a military hospital in theater, Europe, or back in the United States. Their survival rate increases substantially when the golden hour is not surpassed.

U.S. Army medics and U.S. Navy corpsmen understand the importance of the golden hour because they are trained to provide critical care immediately in the harshest conditions. However, for military personnel who recently decided to serve as surgeons, doctors, nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and other medical specialists, providing medical care in combat situations are unfamiliar at best.

The Combat Casualty Care Courseopens health.mil, otherwise known as C4, is a four-day immersion into combat medicine, preparing military medical officers for duties in the Defense Health Agency’s hospitals, dental clinics, and to perform life-saving

measures during combat operations and mass casualty events.

U.S. Air Force Maj. Simon Domenech, a physician’s assistant at Reid Clinic, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, with multiple deployments spanning his 19year career, found the training realistic and challenging.

“C4 puts individuals in a position in which they are not comfortable, and that’s where growth begins, particularly for those with less experience in those [combat] environments,” said Domenech, who deployed to Afghanistan multiple times during Operation Enduring Freedom.

Students are exposed to simulated mission-oriented medical scenarios including village stability operations, mass casualty events, military operations on urban terrain, and a simulated field hospital using state-of theart simulator technology. They also experience combat scenarios to test leadership in various roles while participating in planning and executing a medical mission.

U.S. Army Sgt. Shawn Collins, a C4 instructor since 2019, said students see a different side of military medicine that comes with its own unique challenges.

Samuel King Jr./U.S. Air Force Capt. Kaitlin Lichty, 96th Medical Group, calls for help with a simulated victim during a scenario of Tactical Combat Casualty Care training Nov. 17, 2022 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.

For most of them, this is their first exposure to combat medicine.

“Ninety percent of our student body are interns or residents, said Collins, who was a senior line medic with the 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, before joining the Defense Medical Readiness Training Institute’s Combat Medicine Branch. “Their

experiences in the military have been through their medical departments and specialties. They come here with no prior experience in pre-hospital care.”

By completing the course, students become certified in their appropriate professional level –Advanced Trauma Life Support, Trauma Nurse Core Course, or Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support. Although that certification ensures patients receive safe, quality health care in DHA’s hospitals and clinics, it is the tactical combat medical skills and

leadership they learn that ensures military readiness when service members need it most.

According to U.S. Navy Lt. Richard Gonzales, combat medicine branch officer-in-charge of the Defense Medical Readiness Training Instituteopens Health. mil in Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, students test the skills and knowledge learned through tactical combat casualty care phases, including care under fire, tactical field care, and tactical evacuation care.

“The last three days of the

C4 course puts all of it together with the students going through practical training as well as getting placed in combat and mass casualty scenarios,” said Gonzales, a health care administrator with 25 years of service. “We run the students through a point of injury simulation where they must conduct care under fire with full gear and transition to tactical field care.”

After successful completion of C4, students receive the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians TCCC

Certification, which is the only TCCC course endorsed by the American College of Surgeons.

“They now understand what it’s like to care for patients in the rocks and dirt and why patients come in the way they do,” Gonzales said. “When bullets are flying overhead, the strategy changes because patient care must be provided in difficult situations, not in a controlled, safe environment. It enriches their experience and perspective while developing muscle memory in chaotic situations.”

leaker of top-secret Pentagon documents arrested

The Washington Post

A young member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard was arrested by the FBI on Thursday afternoon in the investigation into leaks of classified military intelligence that started with a small online group and eventually led to hundreds of government secrets spilling out to the wider world.

The arrest came hours after people familiar with the case, speaking on the condition of anonymity, identified the individual, 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, as the primary focus of the investigation. The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the individual who leaked the information shared documents with a small circle of online friends on the Discord chat platform, which is popular with gamers. In that group, a user said, Teixeira’s handles included jackthedripper.

Heavily armed FBI agents led Teixeira out of a family residence in Dighton, Mass., on Thursday afternoon. Wearing red gym shorts and a T-shirt, the young man was led into a waiting car. He could make an initial court appearance Friday in a case that has transfixed much of official Washington for the past week.

A friend of Teixeira described his motives to The Post as wanting to share - and show off - the secrets he knew to a small circle of online friends who bonded over video games. If convicted, Teixeira could end up serving years in prison.

In brief remarks to reporters at Justice Department headquarters, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Teixeira was arrested “without incident” on allegations of “alleged unauthorized removal, retention and transmission of classified national defense information.” Garland did not take questions.

Teixeira served in a junior

position, but he had access to an internal Defense Department computer network for top-secret information, called the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. That access would have allowed him the ability to read and potentially to print documents classified at the same level as many of the leaked files.

Teixeira told members of the online group Thug Shaker Central that he worked as a technology support staffer for the Massachusetts Air National Guard and at a base on Cape Cod, and this was how he was able to access classified documents, one member of the Discord server told The Post. Members of the group had come together initially because of their shared interest in guns and military gear, the member told The Post.

A Facebook post from the 102nd Intelligence Wing, with headquarters at Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod, congratulated an individual by the same name for his promotion to airman first class in July.

The fast-moving investigation kicked off in early April when Pentagon officials first became aware that documents about an extraordinary range of subjects exposed how the United States spies on friends and foes alike.

The leak of dozens of pages also upset senior Ukrainian officials, who had sought to keep details of their military’s vulnerabilities hidden as Russia’s war with Ukraine grinds on in its second year. The Post also reviewed approximately 300 photos of classified documents, most of which have not been made public.

Investigators are likely to probe how Teixeira, from his position at a base in Massachusetts, would have had access to highly classified information, some of which was used to brief senior

leaders at the Pentagon. National Guard units perform some support services for active-duty units, including intelligence support for senior military officials, one U.S. official said. In that case, Teixeira could have had access to the kinds of highly classified documents that he is alleged to have shared with his fellow members

on the server, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a developing investigation.

In a written statement, the FBI said it was conducting “authorized law enforcement activity at the residence” where they arrested Teixeira. “Since late last week the FBI has aggressively pursued investigative leads, and today’s arrest exemplifies our continued commitment to identifying, pursuing, and holding accountable those who betray our country’s trust and put our national security at risk,” the FBI said.

Calls to Teixeira’s family were not immediately returned. Teixeira’s name was first reported by the New York Times.

President Biden, speaking in Ireland on Thursday, told reporters that the investigation is “getting close” to a resolution.

Though not as massive as some previous leaks of highly classified material, the disclosure was nonetheless extraordinary because of the files’ recency: Some documents were just days old when posted earlier this year on Discord. The files gained wide notice when they began appearing on the social media platforms Telegram and Twitter last week. That meant the publicincluding Russia’s war planners - had access to sensitive intelligence assessments on Ukraine’s battlefield readiness prepared in late February and early March for top Pentagon officials such as Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The leaks have produced remarkable insights into U.S. intelligence activities worldwide, but their revelations about the war in Ukraine have proved particularly illuminating. Some of the material describes weaknesses in Ukraine’s air defenses and outlines its lack of ammunition while

exposing considerable deficiencies within the Russian military, too. Many of the assessments date to February and March.

Brig. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, declined to comment on Teixeira’s emergence as the principal suspect in the leak investigation, referring questions to the Justice Department.

Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, he said the department was “working around-the-clock” to assess the impact of the leaks and was taking steps to tighten access to classified information, including by updating distribution lists and reviewing which personnel required what kind of sensitive material.

He stressed that “stringent” rules were already in place, suggesting that no matter how tight the rules were on paper, they could be flouted by an individual determined to divulge intelligence.

“This was a deliberate

criminal act, a violation of those guidelines,” he said. “To put it frankly, we’re continuing to conduct our operations and provide people with the information they need without missing a beat.”

Asked why a junior member of the National Guard would have access to briefings prepared for the military’s highest levels, Ryder declined to address Teixeira specifically but said that the military had always entrusted significant responsibility to young people who receive training and guidance.

“Think about a young combat platoon sergeant, and the responsibility and trust that we put into those individuals to lead troops into combat,” he said. “It’s called military discipline. In certain cases, especially when it comes to sensitive information, it also is about the law.”

The Discord leaks are damaging for what they reveal about the methods the United States uses to gather foreign intelligence, not

just on Russia’s military and spy agencies but also on partners like Ukraine and Israel, as well as key allies in Asia, such as South Korea. The documents indicate where information and insights were gleaned by “signals intelligence” or “sigint,” essentially wiretapping or eavesdropping on calls or hacking into emails.

In one instance, the files reveal the use of an advanced satellite system that allows for high-resolution imaging of objects on the ground, one of the more closely guarded U.S. intelligence capabilities, and which could now be more susceptible to Russian jamming. In some cases, markings indicate that information was obtained at least in part by human means - perhaps spies.

A day after the Pentagon acknowledged it was probing the leaks, the Justice Department announced it had opened an investigation.
