Space Delta 6 welcomes newest USSF Guardians By 2nd Lt. Sean Carter | PETERSON-SCHRIEVER GARRISON SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The U.S. Space Force has officially welcomed its newest batch of Guardians. Space Delta 6, headquartered at Schriever Air Force Base, officially transferred roughly 40 new Guardians into the service during a COVID-safe ceremony Feb. 3, 2021. While they may wear the same USSF uniform, the mission set of the Guardians of Space Delta 6 is a little different from the other eight Deltas. These Guardians are not just space warriors, but masters of the cyberspace domain.

Space Delta 6 executes cyber operations to protect space operations, networks and communications, in addition to operating the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Working day and night to ensure Space Delta 6’s success, members of the 61st Cyber Squadron, located at Schriever AFB, were among the many new Guardians to be brought under the USSF banner.

“It's a mixture of excitement and pride,” said Sgt. Daniel Shanks, 61st CYS Infrastructure Watch Officer. “I have always had a passion for things space related, and knowing that I get the chance to work each day with something that has an impact on our country’s endeavors in that theatre is amazing.”

A change of this magnitude does not happen overnight.

More often than not, the working pieces behind the scenes are set in motion months, even years in advance, and represent the total cumulative effort of hundreds of individuals. For Shanks, it represents a chance to build a new culture of excellence.

“The squadron has the opportunity to develop standards and procedures that affect not just the 61st [CYS] but all future USSF Cyberspace Squadrons,” Shanks said. “As for myself, my family has a history of military service, and

Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, Space Operations Command commander, administers the oath of enlistment to former Airmen for their transfer into the U.S. Space Force, Feb. 3, 2021, at Peterson Air Force Base. The oath of office was also administered to two former U.S. Air Force officers.

I look forward to being the first member of the USSF in that legacy.”

The magnitude of serving as Guardians in the USSF’s first cyberspace operations-dedicated Delta was not lost on the newly transferred. Shanks urged all current and future Guardians to seize the path ahead and make the most of it.

PRESENTED BY:

“For anyone that is also transferring or planning on joining the USSF, I want to motivate them to take advantage of what this opportunity means. The last time this happened was with the Air Force in 1947 and to be able help shape the culture and early years of the Space Force into something we are proud of is an opportunity we shouldn't let pass us by.”

Col. Ericka Farmer-Hill

Col. David Wilson

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Ericka FarmerHill, 50th Mission Support Group commander and Col. David Wilson, 21st Mission Support Group commander took on the role of Peterson-Schriever Garrison vice commanders effective Feb. 1, while maintaining their roles as MSG commanders.

This comes as a response to the U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operation’s priorities for “empowering a lean and agile force,” as outlined in his planning guidance. In early September 2020, Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, USSF CSO, asked the P-S GAR commander to eliminate the MSG echelon, which would help push the garrison closer to meeting that priority.

“The purpose of this reorganization is to find efficiency through a lean organization and accelerate change,” said Wilson. He added that the intent of eliminating organizational layers is to streamline how leadership supports and empowers the squadrons to respond rapidly to evolving mission requirements.

Some additional responsibilities that accompany the garrison vice commander role are receiving all delegable authorities in the garrison commander’s absence, chairing the Commander’s Action Team, authorizing civic leader base access, approving base training agreements and making the final decision on the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board.

P-S GAR is not the first to employ an organizational change in the name of efficiency. Most notably Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, restructured the 366th Fighter Wing in 2018.

By reorganizing, the fighter wing removed group commanders so squadron commanders would report directly to the wing commander, which provided a stream-lined communication chain. In September 2020, the unit tackled a new Personnel Accounting Symbol to solidify the reorganization of the wing.

While dual-hatting the responsibilities of MSG commander and P-S GAR vice commander, both individuals will divide their time between the functions and responsibilities of both

offices. However, they are both excited to get to work and help shape this new force to benefit the garrison and mission partners.

“We both have manpower shortfalls, to include SMEs [Subject Matter Experts] in certain areas,” said Farmer-Hill. “We can use our dual-hatting to leverage expertise across the garrison, as well as help each other with related shortfalls. It’s a win-win for our teams and those we support.”

Wilson shared the same sentiments, stating this wouldn’t be possible without the support of MSG and garrison staff.

“These are exciting and challenging times,” said Wilson. “I am thrilled to be at the leading edge of enhancing distributed base operations. Being dual-hatted as the 21st MSG commander and P-S GAR vice commander allows us to expand efficiency to provide leadership and support to all levels within the garrison.”

According to Farmer-Hill, regardless of where they are stationed, they intend to provide leadership and assistance to both bases as needed.

“We get to take lessons learned from our collective 40 plus years, and help build and support a lean and agile force ready to provide space capabilities to the joint force,” said FarmerHill. “The only thing constant is change, and through it all, the commitment of our Airmen and Guardians to excellence has not waivered. It’s an honor and a privilege to serve among champions.”

Wilson hopes through these new positions he and FarmerHill will be able to facilitate a cultural change in communication and support to help achieve integrated garrison support.

“I have seen firsthand the phenomenal job our Airmen and Guardians are doing each and every day,” said Wilson. “As we continue to build upon the foundation of excellence we will remain committed to focusing on how to provide support to power global operations for every single mission partner.”

Publications, forms, websites, and systems will reflect these grade changes beginning Feb. 1, but it may take time for all systems to reflect the change.

Guardians will wear Air Force rank insignia until the Space Force finalizes its own rank insignia designs, which is expected sometime in the coming months. The service will announce opportunities for Guardians to contribute feedback during the design process.

Crowdsourced feedback on rank names was collected from the field and was part of the decision-making process.

This change does not trigger the need to update the member’s common access card. The service will issue guidance on updating to a Space Force CAC when those details are finalized.

DOD personnel must do more to win fight against COVID-19, special advisor says

By Jim Garamone | DOD NEWS

While the personnel of the Defense Department have already done incredible work to combat the coronavirus, they must do more, said Max Rose, a special advisor on COVID-19 to the defense secretary.

Rose and Air Force Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Paul Friedrichs, the Joint Staff surgeon, spoke during a briefing at the Pentagon today. He took up his job last week when Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III assumed office.

Max Rose, COVID-19 senior advisor to the defense secretary, and Air Force Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Paul Friedrichs brief the news media on progress combating COVID-19.

"The secretary has made this absolutely clear: We have to move further. We have to move faster. We have to be as bold as possible, all the while remembering that it is our utmost [mission] to protect and defend the United States at home, as well as abroad," Rose said during the briefing.

Rose, who served as an Army infantryman in Afghanistan and was wounded in action there, said Austin sent a clear message to all in DOD when his first act in office was to convene a meeting on COVID-19. This firmly established that combatting the pandemic is his number one priority.

DOD leaders are firmly committed to protecting the DOD workforce and their families and safeguarding the department's mission capabilities, he said. Department personnel are also working on the front lines to combat the effects of a pandemic that has killed more than 400,000 Americans.

DOD works in support of civilian agencies in this effort.

Max Rose, COVID-19 senior advisor to the defense secretary, and Air Force Brig. Gen. (Dr.) Paul Friedrichs brief the news media on progress combating COVID-19.

DOD personnel are working in many civilian hospitals to help in the crisis. They're also helping with logistics, and leaders are looking for ways the department can do more. "Today there are over 20,000 National Guardsmen deployed providing COVID support, including at over 216 vaccine sites in 36 states and territories," Rose said. "DOD has over 1,000 military medical personnel on prepare-todeploy orders available to support state and local requests for assistance that have come through FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency]."

The current support includes 224 medical personnel to support eight hospitals and an intensive care unit facility in California. There are another 80 medical personnel to support three hospitals in Texas, and 87 medical personnel are supporting three hospitals in Arizona and New Mexico.

Air Force announces Airmen leadership qualities

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) — The Air Force announced 10 Airman leadership qualities which are now being integrated into a new feedback tool, for officers in the grades of O-1 through O-6 and senior noncommissioned officers in the grades of E-7 through E-9, to facilitate discussion between rater and ratee.

The qualities, found in the Airman Comprehensive Assessment Addendum - AF Form 724-A, focus on character and competence and are categorized under four major performance areas which coincide with both the major graded areas of the Air Force Unit Effectiveness Inspection program and the language used to describe expected performance factors provided to promotion boards: executing the mission, leading people, managing resources and improving the unit.

“The adjustments toward these new leadership qualities are imperative to shift the way we measure, incentivize, and reward the Airmen we need for the future,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr,. “We must have evaluation systems that provide constructive feedback, evaluate against qualities we value, and highlight future potential.”

The Airman leadership qualities are expected to form the basis for the future officer and enlisted performance reporting systems. The alignment between evaluating units and evaluating Airmen is intended to further emphasize and accelerate an understanding and adoption of the associated leadership qualities.

“The major performance areas and Airman leadership qualities were developed over the last two years by looking at industry and sister service best-practices, academic literature, and most importantly the attributes we know

will be required of our Airmen. They were refined over a series of Total Force focus groups to develop and validate the qualities we value in our leaders,” said Col. Laura King, Air Force Talent Management Innovation Cell director.

“We designed the addendum to be used in conjunction with the primary Airman Comprehensive Assessment form to serve as a guide for raters to help facilitate actionable discussions during feedback that incorporate the Airman leadership qualities.”

Each Airman leadership quality is assessed on a fivepoint scale of proficiency levels: does not meet expectations, developing, proficient, highly proficient and outstanding.

They are currently grade independent, understanding raters will account for the relative expectation based on rank and Air Force specialty code.

Over the past two years, the Department of the Air Force has made several large-scale modifications to its talent management system. This initiative is part of a larger reform and the next step in the implementation of a more comprehensive evaluation system.

“To improve how we make talent management decisions, we must measure what we value. These Airman leadership qualities make clear what we value in officer and enlisted performance. Our Airmen must understand what they are being ‘graded’ against to provide them with a clear understanding of expectations and aid them in their future development,” said Lt. Gen. Brian Kelly, deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services. “The objective is for raters to begin discussing and assessing ratees against the Airman leadership qualities to provide us feedback as they introduce the new measures they will see in future evaluation systems.”

Over the coming months, feedback will be gathered from major commands throughout the Air Force. The data collected will be used to refine the Airman leadership qualities and the addendum before the new evaluation systems are finalized. While initial use of the form will be optional, leaders are encouraged to use it to the maximum extent practical.

“We are working to build a system that defines the qualities we value and need in our Airmen,” said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass. “I’m very excited that we are doing that in synergy with our officer corps, it shows that we value Airman leadership qualities across the ranks, from E-1 to O-10.”

The major performance areas and Airman leadership qualities are:

Executing the Mission

• Job Proficiency: Demonstrates knowledge and professional skill in assigned duties, achieving positive results and impact in support of the mission.

• Initiative: Assesses and takes independent or directed action to complete a task or mission that influences the mission or organization.

• Adaptability: Adjusts to changing conditions, to include plans, information, processes, requirements and obstacles in accomplishing the mission.

Leading People

• Inclusion and Teamwork: Collaborates effectively with others to achieve an inclusive climate in pursuit of a

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — In line with the U.S. Air Force Academy’s mission to develop leaders of character, the Academy’s Superintendent, Lt. Gen. Richard Clark, has directed a complete review of the Academy’s Honor Program, the first in several years.

The purpose of the review is to provide findings and recommendations for improvement to the Honor Program, ensuring the Cadet Honor Code and Honor Program relevantly and effectively achieve cadet character development. The intent of the review is to help ensure that living honorably remains the cornerstone of the Academy, where every cadet upholds the Honor Code: “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.”

Lt. Gen. Clark noted how “the Honor Code is not only foundational to the Air Force Academy, but it serves as a guide for cadets to live an honorable life, whether serving in uniform or not.” He further said that “Honor serves as one of my fundamental institutional priorities for developing Leaders of Character.”

The Honor Review Committee is partnering with AF Cyberworx to conduct a holistic review of the program and hold discussions with senior leaders, stakeholders, alumni, and cadets to see if and how the Honor system could be improved.

In addition, the Honor Review Committee will focus on reviewing tenets of the current Honor Program, previous Honor assessments, studies, reports, and surveys. They will also look at internal processes, structures, and activities associated with the Honor Program. After completion, changes and timing will be implemented based on the conclusions and suggestions of the review.

Lt. Gen. Clark, who is fully committed to following through on the review, stated: “Findings and recommendations are great, but they don’t equal progress until action is taken that results in enduring positive change.”

Part of the review will focus on the spring semester of 2020, when the Academy made the unprecedented decision in March to send the lower three classes home, approximately 3,000 cadets, in order to best protect their health and safety.

The decision forced a swift, 8-day transition of the Academy’s academic curriculum to at-home remote classes, a first for the traditionally in-person institution. Unfortunately, amidst these extraordinary circumstances and challenges, 249 cadets were suspected of violating the Academy’s Honor Code.

The infractions included various forms of cheating during the spring semester.

Infractions were detected by existing Dean of Faculty academic safeguards.

The Honor Code infractions ranged from failing to properly cite sources, to using unauthorized online tutoring websites to receive solutions to exam questions in real time, to completing final exams in small groups.

The cadet-led process of working through the Honor Code infractions could not begin until cadets returned for the Fall Semester. The process is currently progressing slower than normal, primarily due to COVID restrictions, but the Academy is dedicated to ensuring cadet accountability throughout the entire Honor process. Cadets in violation of the Honor Code are not allowed to represent the Academy until they complete the required remediation.

The vast majority have admitted to cheating and have been placed on six months of probation and remediation. The remainder are pending cases at various stages of the Honor process. Probation and remediation have proven to be effective tools, where more than 90% of cadets who go through remediation do not commit another Honor Code infraction. There have also been dismissals from the Academy resulting from the incidents.

The Superintendent has complete confidence in the Academy’s academic integrity. The Academy continues to evaluate and update temporarily remote academic programs, and is implementing lessons learned to deter future violations. Some examples include enhanced use of technology to monitor for plagiarism and real-time monitoring of websites to identify any unauthorized sharing. In addition, the Academy developed supplemental course content and resources for cadets to enhance learning.

Lt. Gen. Clark affirmed that “remediation is a consequence and not an act of leniency. If earned, remediation provides an opportunity to reset the moral compass and deepen a cadet’s understanding of and respect for the Honor Code. Developing leaders of character is not without life lessons and learning from these mistakes.”

prepares intravenous medication for one of her patients in Yuma, Ariz., Jan. 21, 2021. Heredia is a member of a medical support team assigned to Yuma, integrating with the hospital’s staff to boost the region’s capacity to care for the surge of COVID-19 patients. Northern Command, through Army North, remains committed to providing flexible Defense Department support to the whole-of-government COVID-19 response.

The Army Corps of Engineers has deployed more than 40 personnel to help California hospitals handle the flood of COVID-19 cases. "Those resources are certainly available to any hospital or any other health care entity that is looking to expand their existing infrastructure," Rose said.

Friedrichs spoke about the department's vaccine plan, which is aligned with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's rollout plan.

Vaccinations for groups in the first category began in December. This is almost finished, he said, and includes medical personnel, police, emergency frontline workers, and those caring

for patients or military personnel with COVID-19. The residents of the Armed Forces Retirement Centers in Washington, D.C., and Gulfport, Mississippi, have also been vaccinated. The department will now move on to those beneficiaries over 75 and personnel who are preparing to deploy outside the United States. Also in this tranche are personnel in strategic or national security roles, as well as key frontline workers like teachers, support staff and those working in child and youth services.

"That group will then be followed by those who are over the age of 65, as well as younger personnel who have significant risk factors, and we'll continue to work through the DOD extended family until everyone who desires to have a vaccine has been able to receive it," the general said.

He stressed that this will take some time to accomplish. To date, the department has received 769,000 doses of the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines. These have been distributed to 306 sites around the world. "If we look at the last two weeks, DOD has administered all of the vaccine doses received," the general said. "That's, I think, an example of the great work done by many people across our bases and in our communities to make sure that we're as efficient as possible with this."

Both Rose and Friedrichs promised regular reports on the progress in the future.

Deputy secretary of defense nominee emphasizes reform, modernization

By David Vergun | DOD NEWS

The overriding mission of the Defense Department is to deter adversaries and defend the United States and its citizens, the nominee for deputy secretary of defense said.

Challengers who seek to undermine America's interests by force should never doubt America's resolve or readiness to thwart their aims, Kathleen H. Hicks told the Senate Armed Services Committee today.

The department is most effective when it's working in concert with other tools of national power, she said. "Our military strength bolsters the work of our diplomats, reinforces our alliances and partnerships, and strengthens our prosperity."

Hicks mentioned China as the greatest challenge, as well as Russia. "Armed conflict between the United States and China is not desirable, and it is not inevitable. The U.S. military plays a critical role in preventing that outcome," she said.

Reform and modernization are among her top priorities.

"We must modernize if deterrence is to endure and, if confirmed, I would seek to increase the speed and scale of innovation in our force," she said.

Hicks said she wholeheartedly supports innovation in areas that include hypersonics, quantum computing and other cutting-edge technologies to aid warfighters as priorities for the department.

To prioritize these technologies, Hicks said she'd engage members of Congress and work to expand public-private partnerships, in addition to working with allies and partners. She also mentioned working with the Commerce

Department and other government agencies, as well as innovative small businesses.

In addition to new technologies, Hicks said modernization of the nuclear triad is the department's number one goal.

"Nuclear deterrence is the cornerstone of American national security," she said, "and I think it must be modernized in order to be safe, secure, credible. And I would just add that I am worried about the state of the readiness

of the nuclear triad. And, if confirmed, that's an area I would want to get my team in place and start to look at right away."

Other topics Hicks said she'd support are shipbuilding, modernizing shipyards, cybersecurity and advancing green initiatives, including electric vehicles.

"I want to commend Congress for re-establishing the assistant secretary of defense for energy, installations and environment," she mentioned.

Hicks said reform will be uppermost in her efforts. "We have to make every dollar that the taxpayer puts in have a return, and that return should be measured in terms of joint capability. So, that means we need to squeeze out waste and abuse and that will be a priority for me."

As for the 2018 National Defense Strategy, Hicks said it will be reviewed and perhaps revised within a year or two to address new security threats. For instance, when it was written, COVID-19 wasn't yet a threat.

Hicks also discussed taking care of the troops and their families and weeding out troublemakers in the ranks as being a top priority.

"We must address suicide and mental health, housing, childcare and food insecurity," she said. "We must root out violent extremism, systemic racism, sexual assault and harassment and other inhibitors to readiness — and this is a matter of readiness. We will not be able to attract and retain the world's finest force, one that represents our democracy, if we cannot hold accountable those who threaten its viability from within."

Department of the Air Force institutes Office of Diversity and Inclusion

By Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) —The Department of the Air Force, in support of both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, stood up the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Jan. 11.

In June 2020, former Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett stood up a Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, which has evolved into this new office. The organization will work directly for the secretary of the Air Force and continue to address the strategic impact of diversity, inclusion and equity on Airmen, Guardians and their families.

Tawanda Rooney, a career member of the Defense Intelligence Senior Executive Service, is the acting senior advisor on Diversity and Inclusion. Prior to this position, Rooney served as deputy director, Concepts Development and Management Office, Secretary of the Air Force.

“The Department of the Air Force is committed to enabling all Airmen and Guardians to thrive in a diverse and highly inclusive environment,” Rooney said.

“Our office will lead this charge and continue all the good work the Task Force initiated. Diversity and inclusion are warfighting imperatives and we need to capitalize on all available talent by enabling a culture of inclusion where every member is respected and valued for his or her identity, culture and background.

The ODI was established based on the recommendations of both the Office of Secretary of Defense and Air Force Inspector General independent review of racial disparity, ordered by the secretary of the Air Force and the Air and Space Forces service chiefs, released Dec. 21, 2020.

The inspector general’s review focused specifically on assessing racial disparity in military discipline processes, personnel development, and career opportunities as they pertain to Black/African American Airmen and Guardians. The new office is charged with identifying and changing policies and procedures, removing barriers and other practices that may have an unfair effect upon underrepresented Airmen and Guardians.

The office is a cross-functional team of military and civilian Air and Space professionals that represents communities across both services and applies subject matter expertise to the changes being considered. Members represent different ranks and perspectives, both minority and majority groups, whose sole focus is to make changes that create an equitable environment for all Department of the Air Force personnel.

The task force and Office of Diversity and Inclusion has made strides in the past months, including efforts such as an emblems and mottos review and tracking administrative discipline data.

For more information on diversity and inclusion efforts across the DAF, please visit www.af.mil/diversity.
