Airmen share stories to inspire others

By Airman 1st Class Alexandra Singer 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

The first ever “Owning Your Story” seminar took place at Joint Base Langley-Eustis July 10.

The seminar encourages Airmen to share their stories on how they have been resilient and overcame the odds regardless of adversity.

“Owning your story is meant to inspire, instill, and rebuild the next generation of leaders to come and do things better the second time around,” said U.S. Air Force Tech.

Sgt. Vanessa Hardaway, OYS coordi-

nator.

Some of the stories shared involved racism in the workplace, suicide, substance abuse and restoring faith in the Air Force. The topics are based on the most vulnerable time for Airmen and what they did in order to overcome obstacles.

“They didn’t give up,” said Hardaway. “They utilized the resources around them, clinched onto their faith, reached out to mentors, changed the narrative surrounding them and overcame their circumstances.”

Master Sgt. Melanie McKinney, 440th Supply Chain Operations

Squadron, allowance source code management flight superintendent, gave her story on the struggle she faced while promotion testing for Tech. Sgt. “Sharing my story is enlightening,” said McKinney. “It’s almost like it takes weight off your shoulders.

Your story is not just for you, it’s for everybody.”

One of the lessons learned during the seminar was to share the vulnerabilities in order to help other Airmen going through the same situation.

“It’s vital for our Airmen to know they are not alone,” said Hardaway.

The seminars are scheduled to continue every quarter. They are hosted

by Hardaway through the Langley 5/6, and cover various topics. For more information on how to participate in the seminar, please contact Tech. Sgt. Hardaway at 757-764-7764.

We want to hear from you. Contact us at 633abw.paedit@us.af.mil, or call 878-4920 or 764-5701.

JBLE’s Fuels Management Flight earns American Petroleum Institute Award

By Senior Airman Delaney Gonzales

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

The 733d Logistics Readiness Squadron Fuels Management Flight was presented the American Petroleum Institute Award at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, July 10.

The award recognizes the best fuels management flight in the Air Force for their commitment to excellence, contributions to quality of life initiatives and dedication to improving the warfighter mission.

“It’s a huge accomplishment,” said Tech. Sgt. Justin Chong, 733rd LRS Fuels Distribution NCO in charge. “I was really happy to hear we earned the API Award—a lot of time and a lot of effort was put into this flight in order to achieve this.”

The flight’s drive to earn the API Award began with their first accomplishment.

Once the 733d LRS Fuels Management Flight earned the Drake Award, an award given to the best fuels management flight within Air Combat Command, the flight looked toward a bigger goal to achieve.

“When we found out about the Drake Award, we wanted to strive

for something more,” said Airman 1st Class Mikel Luce, 733rd LRS Fuels Management Flight fuels distribution operator. “[Senior Master] Sgt. Oakley motivated the flight and told us, ‘We are going to win this, we are going to be the best flight in the Air Force.’”

This passion to learn their craft propelled the flight to work as a team to work toward their next upcoming challenge.

“We did a lot of preparation for it,” exclaimed Luce. “Everything we did, everything we worked on was as a team. We would quiz each other every day just to become more knowledgeable and proficient within our jobs.”

“Leaders and supervisors at every level saw the vision of our superintendent and put it into action. It was awesome to see,” Chong added.

The award not only made the flight stronger as a team, it also helped the Airmen become highly skilled within their career fields.

“My wealth of knowledge grew tremendously through this experience,” Luce concluded. “Working toward earning the API Award benefited us professionally. We improved as a team.”

The 1st Fighter Wing F-22 Raptors, air crew and support personnel from Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, arrived at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, July 10 in support of Red Flag 19-3.

Red Flag is an air combat training exercise that began July 15 and will conclude Aug. 2, 2019. The exercise is designed to train units on realistic combat-like situations with U.S. and allied forces in a controlled environment.

“Red Flag began as an air-to-air fight, but it’s evolved into a multi-domain conflict to make sure America’s warfighters from across the services are ready for tomorrow’s fight,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Michael Mathes, 414th Combat Training Squadron commander. “Air, space, cyber and command and control forces come together in our training environment

here at Nellis to ensure that when our nation calls, we can meet and beat our adversaries.”

The 1st FW is the exercise’s core wing, meaning they not only have to conduct their own air-to-air mission, but they also support all other participating personnel. They do this by lending their expertise and ensuring

that participating units have all the necessary resources they need in order to meet the objectives set out by the Red Flag team.

“As the core wing, it’s our job to support the mission and all other participating units here at Red Flag,” said Capt. Martin Caluag, Red Flag 19-3 core wing project officer. “Red Flag is

the go-to exercise when it comes to developing our combat and war fighting capabilities.”

While the exercise is only three weeks long, the various units attending Red Flag 19-3 will have long mission-filled days and will be looking to the Airmen of the 1st FW to keep operations moving forward.

Milley talks modernization at confirmation hearing

By C. Todd Lopez DEFENSE.GOV WASHINGTON

The effects of delayed defense budgets, the dearth of confirmed civilian leadership in the Pentagon, modernization, Afghanistan, and great power competition were all topics the president’s nominee to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff faced from the Senate Armed Services Committee at his confirmation hearing.

If confirmed, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley would be the 20th military officer to fill the role, succeeding Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, whose term expires Sept.

30.

The general opened last week’s hearing by acknowl-

edging to lawmakers that the international order, in place now for over 70 years, is under threat.

“From East Asia to the Middle East to Eastern Europe, authoritarian actors are testing the limits of the international system and seeking regional dominance while challenging international norms and undermining U.S. interests,” Milley said. “Our goal should be to sustain great power peace that has existed since World War II, and deal firmly with all those who might challenge us.”

Also what has changed is warfare itself, Milley told the senators. New characteristics of warfare include space, cyberspace, and new technology that’s not been seen before.

Competing in the new environment, he said, will require great

adaptation by the U.S. military.

If confirmed, he said, his priorities are to “provide the best military advice, to maintain steady continuity of military leadership, implement the National Defense Strategy with emphasis on increasing the readiness and modernization of the joint force, maintain and grow our network of allies and partners, sustain great power peace in an era of great power competition and provide unwavering support, care and leadership to our troops and their Families.”

Of interest to many lawmakers was Milley’s insight into how delayed defense funding, continuing resolutions, and even the possibility of a yearlong continuing resolution, might affect military readiness.

“I think the impact would be

significant,” he told the Senate panel. “I think a CR [would be], in the words of the National Defense Strategy commission, they said the word ‘reckless.’ I think a CR has a very significant negative impact on the training, equipping, readiness and modernization of the U.S. military.”

Without a timely defense appropriation bill, Milley said, “I think you’re going to have is-

sues with procurement, new starts, and delays of acceleration of programs that are already there. I think your research, development, science, technology, [and] the modernization we are talking about to face the challenge of China in the future or any other country in the future. All of those will be negatively impacted unless we have the full budget passed.”

Air Force releases request for proposals for new ICBM system

By Leah Bryant

AIR FORCE NUCLEAR WEAPONS CENTER PUBLIC AFFAIRS KIRTLAND AFB, N.M.

The Air Force released a request for proposals for its Ground Based Strategic Deterrent intercontinental ballistic missile weapon system program July 16.

The request is for the weapon system’s Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase and includes five production lot options to produce and deploy the weapon system.

The two contractors for GBSD’s current Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction phase, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, will compete for the EMD contract.

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center expects to award

the contract in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020.

The GBSD is the follow-on to the aging LGM-30G Minuteman III ICBM, which first became operational in the mid-1960s. While some components and subsystems have been upgraded over the years, most have supported over 50 years of continuous operation.

In May, Ellen Lord, undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, expressed the need to upgrade nuclear capability and modernization to maintain a deterrence edge. She said it no longer makes financial sense to continue to upgrade or extend the life of existing Minuteman III ICBMs and the new GBSD weapon system must be brought online.

“There is no margin to do another service life extension program on Minuteman III, because not only would it be more expensive than developing GBSD, but you would not have the resiliency in the capability because you would not have the modern equipment, you would not have the actual capabilities from a functional range point of view (or) warhead capability,” Lord said. “So we need to, by 2028, start replacing (ICBMs).”

Senior Air Force leaders also support the new GBSD system.

“If you look at the threat that we face, Russia just completed their modernization of their triad this year…because they know they cannot defeat us—and cer-

7

tainly can’t defeat NATO— conventionally,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein at a congressional committee hearing in April. “So, our modernization and recap of the triad is just in time because in the missile leg, key parts of that program expire right about the time that we bring on the new Ground Based Strategic Deterrent to replace it.”

The AFNWC is the lead for the Air Force’s GBSD acquisition effort.

“The GBSD will be designed to be adaptable and responsive to the challenges posed by the pace of technological change and new threat environments,” said Maj. Gen. Shaun Morris, AFNWC commander and the Air Force program executive officer for strategic systems.

“After a complete evaluation of the proposals, the EMD contract will be awarded to the company which will pro-

vide the best overall value to the warfighter and taxpayers.”

"The GBSD program office members have worked hard to analyze the costs of every requirement, used modeling and simulation to evaluate every decision and keep the design, development and deployment of the weapon system on track,” said Col. Jason Bartolomei, GBSD program manager. “The EMD request for proposal is the next step in the development of a safe, secure and effective GBSD weapon system.”

The GBSD program office is part of AFNWC’s ICBM Systems Directorate at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The center is responsible for synchronizing all aspects of nuclear materiel management on behalf of Air Force Materiel Command in direct support of Air Force Global Strike Command.

Historic F-22 Raptor Qatar deployment

By Airman 1st Class Marcus M. Bullock 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

In a historic deployment, Airmen and F-22 Raptors have been sent to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar for the first time in order to defend American forces and interests in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.

This deployment is a total force effort consisting of Airmen from the 1st Fighter Wing and 192nd Wing, with the support of the 633rd Air Base Wing, who train and deploy alongside one another, providing a ready force for the United States Air Force.

“I am incredibly proud of the 1st Fighter Wing over the last four weeks. Our nation called and we responded to a short-notice deployment sending F-22's to Qatar for the first time in history,” said Col. David Lopez, 1st Fighter Wing commander. “It was a herculean effort by our Airmen and families working tirelessly behind the scenes. There was heavy lifting across the board from our Low Observable team and maintainers loading tanks, from airfield operations coordinating airspace to our pilots planning flight routes through locations we hadn’t been before. It was truly a team effort across the installation with significant support from the 633rd Air Base Wing as we all worked around the clock to get our aircraft and Airmen out the door on a condensed timeline.”

The 1 FW trains for this type of short-notice deployment through multiple exercises. Whether it’s an adaptive basing exercise where fighter squadrons practice deploying small teams and aircraft to an unfamiliar location, or the Phase I Exercise in March, the 1 FW consistently demonstrates its readiness and ability to deploy.

According to Col. David L. Seitz, 1st Maintenance Group commander, Airmen’s lessons learned during the exercises proved valuable in making this deployment a success.

“There’s no doubt the Phase I exercise in February sharpened our readiness and responsiveness,” said Seitz. “The exercise showed we had lots of work to do in the C3 execution [command/control/communication] – but the team proved that’s not the case now.”

Seitz explained that a short-notice deployment, such as this one, brought to light some interesting challenges that the 1 FW was able to overcome.

“The biggest challenge in these situations is always communication – especially when multiple squadrons from multiple wings must stop what they’re doing and align competing priorities and agendas,” said Seitz. “This tasking literally threw dozens of seemingly unsolvable problems at them in the first day alone – but they all came together and crushed it.”

The 1 FW is a stellar example of how proper preparation and thorough training enables members of our Air Force to handle challenges at a moment’s notice and always be ready to accomplish the mission.

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to Detachment 1, 362nd Training Squadron, study engine components during a UH-60 Helicopter Repairer course at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, July 15. The Airmen will spend nearly four months studying the Blackhawk helicopter as well as learning the Army’s customs and courtesies.

Airmen, Soldiers: work together, learn together

By Airman 1st Class Monica Roybal

633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

A combination of patterned uniforms cut through the humid air as they climb about the frames and rotors lined up in one of the many hangars that make up the 128th Aviation Brigade. The constant drone of industrial fans fills the room while service members buzz around the floor, notebooks in hand and on their way to become masters of their airframe.

This will be home for a small group of U.S. Air Force Airmen for nearly four months as they work alongside U.S. Army Soldiers in Advanced Individual Training to learn the ins and

outs of the UH-60 (Blackhawk) Helicopter at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.

“When people think of helicopters, they think of Army aviation not Air Force aviation,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Harvey Gonzales, Detachment 1, 362nd Training Squadron UH-60 Helicopter Repairer course instructor. “People think of jets when they think of the Air Force and they don’t expect us to have helicopters.

Even Airmen at Langley don’t know we have an aviation tech school here at Fort Eustis.”

Gonzales explained that while the size of the Air Force helicopter maintenance career field may be finite by comparison, with their skills only ap-

plicable at five bases throughout the entire Air Force, their mission proves to be substantial and invaluable.

“These Airmen will go on to support Air Force combat search and rescue missions,” Gonzales said. “They will learn the basics of the UH-60 helicopter while they are here training with Soldiers and when they move on to their permanent duty stations they will learn the specifics of the [Air Force’s] HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter.”

According to Gonzales, Air Force helicopter maintainers get the unique experience of training and studying with Soldiers which can foster lasting working relationships and bring a sense of familiarity through shared qualifications in deployed environments.

“We have already built a relationship by the time we graduate so when we’re down range if we ever need parts or help with anything, we know we can just go ask and they’ll step

up.” Gonzales added. “Usually when we deploy we’re working side by side with Soldiers so it’s nice that we get to learn how our sister service works when we’re here at school.”

While studying at Fort Eustis, the Airmen will also learn the Army’s customs and courtesies, as well as participate in physical training with fellow AIT Soldiers.

“It’s awesome that we get to build this comradery and make fun of each other a lot, all in good fun of course,” said Airman 1st Class Ryan Chapman, Detachment 1, 362nd Training Squadron student. “We get to know these Soldiers and really see that we’re all here to serve our country and fight the same fight.”

After spending weeks learning how the dual branches operate, the Airmen will sing the Air Force song, the Army song and recite both service creeds during their graduation ceremony in a show of gratitude and respect for their sister service.

One World Terrain to allow Soldiers to train anywhere

By Joe Lacdan LOS ANGELES

Carrying only a backpack and a drone, Soldiers could capture and eventually re-create entire sections of forests and steep mountains.

They can map 3D data from the rough, dry wasteland of the Mohave Desert, the dense rainforests of Hawaii or the rocky, hilly landscape of woodlands. They can even replicate the detail of a bustling metropolis.

And with this data, they can capture intricate details down to the species of trees. That data will be optimized and aggregated with data from other geospatial sensors to build a digital environment Soldiers could use to train for war or duplicate an operational battlefield.

A tedious process that once took weeks can now be achieved in three hours: within that time, Soldiers can fly a drone within a one-square kilometer area and visualize the environment in 3D run-time.

Wherever Soldiers wish to hone skills or where commanders choose to send them, Soldiers will soon have the capability to simulate that environment at their home stations.

“One of the things we identified early on was the existing systems often require that you bring several Soldiers to a central location to get training,” said Col. Marcus Varnadore, project manager for the Synthetic Training Environment CrossFunctional Team. “So what we’ve challenged industry with is creating systems that can actually go to the point of need; go to where the Soldier is actually training, potentially at their home-station location or even a deployed location.”

One World Terrain, a pillar of the Army’s synthetic training environment, will give Soldiers a tool that could improve readiness by providing training in an accurate, realistic

representations of theater environments. It would help achieve the vision of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley and Secretary of the Army Mark T. Esper to build a more lethal force, by providing Soldiers skills at a more frenetic pace.

“It’s rapidly expediting the capability of being able to capture the terrain and creating the terrain environment,” said Kyle McCullough, lead researcher at the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California. The ICT works in conjunction with the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center to research and develop immersive technology advancing realistic, synthetic human experiences.

The capability is being developed at an opportune time in the Army, as the service prepares for possible large-scale ground-combat in environments that contrast starkly with the close quarter counter-insurgency operations in the Middle East. Soldiers soon must prepare to battle in forested areas and massive urban centers.

The technology will also be used to eventually help Soldiers on the front lines map terrain on the battlefield.

While connected to command and control systems on the battlefield, they will be able to receive rapid updates provided by the OWT program.

“You won’t have to rely on pre-existing data or possibly older data,” McCullough said. “You can get brand new data when you’re actually in a deployed environment, and so a commander would have access to the latest state of a battlespace.”

The Army expects to reach initial operating capability for OWT by the end of fiscal year 2021 and full operational capability in fiscal 2023. Earlier this month, the Army awarded a contract to build an OWT prototype to Virginia-based developer Vricon.
