Info: More than 200 pilots, maintainers and operations support staff from the 1st Fighter Wing are gaining firsthand experience in loading and firing live missiles at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida from July 6-20, 2018. The goal of these combined exercises is to train and evaluate the F-22 Raptor and other weapons systems under simulated combat environments, to include firing live missiles against remotely piloted targets. the F-22. In addition to the experience pilots and maintainers gain from loading and launching live missiles during Combat Archer, Checkered Flag provides the opportunity to work alongside multiple weapons systems and services.

“In one fight, more than 50 aircraft may participate from multiple services, including 4th and 5th generation fighter jets, bomber platforms, refueling aircraft, and command and control aircraft,” Pupilis said. “At Langley, typical training consists of only F-22s and T-38 Talons. Being able to integrate with the other fighters on the same side of the fight, and fight against different platforms on the enemy side provides great training for all involved.”

In total, the JBLE’s F-22s and T-38s are scheduled to fly 300 sorties. The F-22 will hopefully shoot 20 missiles: five AIM-120 medium range missiles and 15 AIM-9 heat seeking missiles.

According to Pupilis, A lot of work and planning goes into launching that many jets and firing 20 missiles, but Combat Archer provides unparalleled live-fire experience for the pilots and maintainers of the 1FW, as the F-22 Raptor continues to be the most dominant air superiority fighter in the world.

Augmenting the AOR: EOD Airman provides critical skill set to Army forensics team

By Staff Sgt. Christopher Stoltz

386TH AIR EXPEDITIONARY WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS CAMP ARIFJAN, KUWAIT (AFNS)

This story is part of the JET/IA “Augmenting the AOR” series, covering the unique missions and skill sets Airmen provide to coalition and sister-service mission partners throughout the deployed area of responsibility.

Visiting the Central Command Forensic Exploitation Laboratory, located at Camp Arifjan, is an experience similar to watching a television show like ‘CSI’ or ‘NCIS,’ at least in appearance. From

particle separators to a ballistics lab, the location seems to have everything a team would need to crack the case, solve the crime and ride off into the sunset.

However, according to Master Sgt. Michael Breive, Forensic Exploitation Laboratory – CENTCOM noncommissioned officer in charge, television shows are not even close to capturing the uniqueness of their mission, the team dynamic, or how much work there is to accomplish.

JBLE conducts aircraft crash exercise

By Staff Sgt. Areca T. Bell

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

Units from Joint Base Langley-Eustis participated in an aircraft crash exercise here July 17.

The aim of the exercise was to evaluate JBLE’s ability to manage the aftermath of a helicopter mishap.

Emergency responders faced a simulated crash in which a U.S. Army CH47 Chinook, experiencing electrical and mechanical failures, was unable to reach the airfield and crashed into a boat near the installation’s 3rd Port.

This year’s RIAT celebrated the 100th anniversary of the RAF and highlighted the United States’ ever-strong alliance with the UK.

USAF participates in Royal International Air Tattoo Farnborough International Air Show

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs AF.MIL

WASHINGTON (AFNS)

While the Royal International Air Tattoo is famous for its impressive flying displays and significance of being the largest military air show in the world, the annual event also provides a hub for aerospace excellence, bringing military and civilian leaders in aviation together to discuss airpower and the future of innovation.

In addition, this year’s Air Tattoo, held July 13-14, at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, served as the official international celebration of the RAF’s 100th anniversary.

Seventy-nine military del-

egations, including 64 military chiefs from around the world, were on hand to commemorate the RAF centennial, among them U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein.

Reflecting on the relationship between the two nations and their militaries, Goldfein said, “The USAF and the RAF share a bond unlike any other – a bond born in the crucible of war against tyranny and nurtured over decades of commitment to our shared values of peace, security and prosperity.”

“The depth of this partnership will only grow as – together – we face increasingly complex, high-end threats,” he added. “I am proud that the RAF – as a technological aviation leader and tier-one partner

in the development of the joint strike fighter – will be flying on our wing as we train harder, deter adversaries and when required, defeat threats to global peace and security.”

The U.S. Air Force participates in RIAT annually, a symbol of U.S. commitment to the security of Europe and the everstrong bond between the U.S. and England.

This year, the U.S. Air Force made a particularly strong showing, with the F-35 Lighting II, KC-135 Stratotanker, MC-130 Commando II, F-15E Strike Eagle and F-15 Eagle, B-1 Lancer, C-17 Globemaster III, HH-60 Pave Hawk and KC-10 Extender in attendance, and special performances by the F-35 Heritage Flight Team and B-2 Spirit

to commemorate the RAF centenary.

Following the Air Tattoo, the week-long Farnborough International Air Show was held in Farnborough, England, July 1622.

Held every two years, the event includes an international trade show that allows the aerospace industry to demonstrate the latest in both civilian and military aircraft capabilities, while the public air show offers an opportunity for the U.S., along with other military allies, to showcase leadership in aerospace technologies to an international audience.

U.S. aircraft featured at this year’s FIA included the AH-64 Apache, F-16 Fighting Falcon, C-130 Super Hercules, C-130

Hercules, P-8 Poseidon, C-17 Globemaster III and CH-47 Chinook.

U.S. Air Force participation in international airshows such as RIAT and FIA promotes standardization and interoperability of equipment with NATO Allies and other potential coalition partners.

“No nation will be able to combat future threats alone. Innovation and the interoperability of our combined efforts will allow us to find ways to address these challenges,” said Goldfein of the value of U.S. Air Force involvement in the events.

633 CES slices into prime BEEF training

By Staff Sgt. Areca T. Bell

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.

The 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron conducted Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force training here, July 19.

Ninety U.S. Air Force Airmen attended the training, which focused on land navigation and individual movement techniques.

“We have Prime BEEF Day every third Thursday of the month,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jon Colon, 633rd CES expeditionary engineer supervisor. “It’s important because it helps keep every Airman ready mentally and physically to go out to deployed locations, and be able to rely on what they learned to complete the contingency mission.”

Airmen from all facets of the squadron work together to form a Prime BEEF team, which provides a full range of engineering support required to establish, operate, and maintain troops and contingency airbases.

001FYA07272018.indd A8-A9

These Airmen may be called upon to perform a variety of duties, including air base site surveys, establishing base camps, and operations and utility system installation.

“Prime BEEF Day allows Airmen to take a day from their regular job and focus on the mission essential duties that we will be doing overseas or during a deployment,” said Senior Airman Adrian Richardson, 633rd CES operations management journeyman. “If we didn’t have a Prime BEEF Day, we could be going to deployments kind of clueless.”

The Airmen were divided into four-person teams and tasked with nding markers, using a compass and map, to gain rst-hand land navigation experience.

According to Colon, the Airmen learned to navigate terrain without technology, so they are prepared to operate in conditions where it may not be available.

While practicing individual movement techniques, the engineers worked as a team to identify, assess and report threats, such as simulated improvised explosive

devices and insurgents while in a deployed environment.

Although this month’s training tackled two pro ciencies, the 633rd CES regularly changes its attention to ensure its Airmen are well-rounded to support the mission. Prime BEEF Day can include computer-based training, weapons training, Humvee roll over training or more.

Richardson said he believes that Prime BEEF Day gives him and his wingmen a chance to gain con dence in tasks they don’t do on an everyday basis. However, he mostly appreciates the opportunity to interact and work with members of his CES family that he may not see every day.

“Overall, it’s a real chance for all the Airmen to come together and learn at the same time from different organizations,” he said. “I really believe CE is a great family to be a part of, especially with the work required and what we are asked to do. With Prime BEEF we actually get to interact with other sections.”

AMC announces Aviator Technical Track beta test program

By Air Mobility Command Public Affairs AF.MIL

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, ILL. (AFNS)

The application window is open for active duty mobility pilots to pioneer a new Aviator Technical Track program, Air Mobility Command officials announced July 20, 2018.

AMC is seeking mobility pilot participants with the right blend of skills, knowledge and abilities to mentor the next generation of aviators. The command aims to retain rated expertise by reducing developmental requirements and non-flying related duties.

“We heard our pilots, we listened and we’re doing something about it,” said Gen. Carlton D. Everhart II, AMC commander. “While long-term solutions to build experience are necessary, we cannot wait. This is an immediate effort to keep an initial cadre of our talented pilots flying while offering the stability they’ve been asking for. This is about Air Force leadership listening to the needs of our Airmen and making timely decisions to retain capability, revitalize squadrons and deliver the right warfighting effects.”

Applications from the mobility air forces will be accepted through Aug. 17.

A panel of senior officers is scheduled to convene Aug. 29, to select the command’s first program participants. The selection board will consider applicants using established criteria. Notification of selection is anticipated for mid-September.

“Our pilots have been clear that worklife balance and the quality of their service are concerns for them when they face the choice to separate or continue serving,” said Brig. Gen. Mike Koscheski, Air Force Aircrew Crisis Task Force director. “We already implemented several initiatives to enable pilots to focus on their primary duties, and AMC’s beta test is an effort to determine if we can retain more pilots

Be part of the test: AMC is seeking mobility pilot participants with the right blend of skills, knowledge and abilities to mentor the next generation of aviators. The command aims to retain rated expertise by reducing developmental requirements and non-flying related duties.

Application Timeframe: Applications will be accpeted from July 20 - Aug. 17, 2018.

For more information visit myPers.af.mil by offering flexibility in how they serve.”

Selectees are required to maintain all Air Force standards, including health and fitness and readiness requirements.

Participants will also compete for promotion while participating in the program.

“Longer assignments coupled with continuous placement in active flying positions offers a more predictable lifestyle and an opportunity to primarily focus on flying skills for those wishing to participate,” said Maj. Gen. Sam C. Barrett, AMC director of Operations, Strategic Deterrence and Nuclear Integration.”

Participant feedback will be used to inform a full-scale implementation of the technical track concept across the Air Force.

“This initial cadre of pioneers will influence the future designs of an aviationfocused career and will have the opportunity to shape the program for potential broader implementation in the future,” Everhart said. “We must fully leverage the expertise and talents of our aviators to ensure a lethal mobility force.”

Detailed application procedures and eligibility requirements will be available at myPers.af.mil.

SKILL SET | team work is critical CONTINUED FROM 3 alone,” Breive said. “It is a team effort where every single person brings something unique and important to the table. There are multiple supporting roles that all have a hand in processing just one piece of evidence.

And unlike television, we produce real-world results.”

Breive, who serves as an explosive ordnance disposal technician from the 99th Civil Engineer Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, said this deployment is a much welcomed change of pace. Instead of suiting up and disarming improvised explosive devices, he is lending his near-decade of experience to FXL-C by overseeing the activities of the forensics laboratory.

“As an EOD Airman, we are usually the ones out there in the field,” he said. “We don’t usually get a chance to see the ‘behind-the-scenes’ action that happens after we collect a sample, or finish our job.”

According to Army Maj. Allen Spence, FXL-C officer in charge, Breive’s role isn’t just important – it is paramount for his office’s success.

He said Breive is responsible for conducting forensic exploitation of all captured enemy material throughout the CENTCOM area of responsibility.

Furthermore, he is directly responsible for the safety of the lab itself and all of the personnel, allowing his team to direct all focus on processing evidence for forensics and intel.

Spence said the results his team provides helps investigators across the Department of Defense identify the contents of an explosive by detecting trace elements of materials. This helps the investigative teams identify patterns and determine if the explosives are being made by the same person or persons. He also stressed the importance of a ‘good’ sample.

“Providing a quality sample to the lab for evidence purposes can literally make or break an investigation,” Spence said. “From visiting physical blast sites, to routing the proper paperwork and coordinating the actual movement of assets, it is the NCOIC’s job to ensure a quality sample is ready for the team to review.”

“It is a team effort where every single person brings something unique and important to the table. There are multiple supporting roles that all have a hand in processing just one piece of evidence. And unlike television, we produce realworld results.”

— Master Sgt. Michael Breive Forensic Exploitation Laboratory – CENTCOM noncommissioned officer in charge

“You can’t fake a DNA profile or fingerprint,” Breive said. “Our analysis provides mission partners the ammo they need to conduct their investigations and complete the mission. Working here has been eye-opening, as this team places the scientific method over opinions and speculation – allowing the truth to be discovered.”

In addition to his work functions, Breive said he also serves somewhat as the shop’s defacto first sergeant, assuming numerous additional duties to help other members of his team. In these duties, he ensures lodging and meal cards for personnel as well as providing solutions for logistics and personnel issues.

Breive said the workload and immersion in the U.S. Army culture is nothing new to him. With dozens of joint-missions and several deployments under his belt, Breive said working for FXL-C is one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences in his entire Air Force career.

“Working with this team has helped me grow as an NCO,” he said.

“Having the chance to work in this office, I now see all of the effort that goes into an investigation – and I feel I have a lot more to offer my Airmen once I return home.”
