WASHINGTON (AFNS) - Acting Secretary of the Air Force John Roth told a congressional subcommittee Friday that both the Air and Space forces are moving decisively to confront new and emerging threats, including those from China and Russia, while also devoting resources “to rid our ranks of corrosive elements and injustices.”

Appearing alongside Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., and Chief of Space Operations, Gen. John Raymond, Roth told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense that the Air and Space Forces continue to recalibrate their practices, personnel and policies to address “peer

adversaries” after years focusing primarily on terrorism.

“Long-term strategic competition with China and Russia demands that we focus on the capabilities we need today to win tomorrow,” Roth told the subcommittee in his opening statement. “Our Nation’s competitive strategic advantage relies on air and space superiority, which is underpinned by rapid technological advancement and the extension of space as a warfighting domain.”

Air and Space Forces will receive in the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. But because Congress has not yet received detailed spending proposals from any federal agency, the questions during Friday’s two-hour session were more general than in a typical year.

They spanned topics ranging from how the Air Force is responding to its pilot shortage, to questions about readiness and detecting “space junk,” to an assessment of China’s influence in Latin America and the Department’s view on modernizing the aging Minuteman III ground-based nuclear missile system.

When asked, “In the event you got more money, where would the focus

be, what would be the top priority?” Roth acknowledged there would be difficult trade-offs.

“We’re going to have to make some hard choices and some difficult decisions concerning trying to invest in the future versus continuing to support some of our legacy systems,” he said. “My sense is the budget you’ll see is a balanced budget that can support the national security strategy with some reasonable risk.”

At the same time, he emphasized, “We need to continue investing in technology for the future.”

When asked about nuclear modernization, Brown said the case is strong for moving ahead with a new system known as the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent.

“What you will get is something that is more safe, more secure, and more reliable and also outpaces the threat we’re up against,” Brown said. “So it’s important that we do modernize that part of our nuclear portfolio,” he continued, noting that the current frontline system, the Minuteman III, is more than 40 years old.

With the Space Force entering its second year in existence, Raymond received a number of questions about fiscal discipline, acquisition programs and this: “Why do we need a Space Force? Why is not the regular Air Force program just as effective if not more so?”

Raymond expanded on his opening statement in which he said the United States remained preeminent in space, but there are now more nations operating with more sophistication and with differing motivations than ever before.

“The capability gap is shrinking between us and our closest competitors,” Raymond said in response to the question. “They are catching up.”

The nation’s leaders decided, he said, “To stand up a service that was purpose built for this domain. We’ve already seen the benefits of that elevation. We’re attracting greater talent. We’ve got a strong voice on requirements. We have a strong voice with our allies and partners. … So across the board we have seen a critical elevation of capability since we’ve established the Space Force.”

Answers by Roth, Brown and Raymond throughout the hearing reflected the Department’s overarching priorities. The practices and priorities, they said, include a mixture of imperatives such as modernizing the nation’s air and land-based nuclear deterrent, ensuring continued “air superiority,” nurturing strong and capable leaders, and continuing to lock arms with allies and partners.

It means continuing to rollout F-35 aircraft into the fleet. The F-35, according to Air Force senior leaders, “is the cornerstone of our future fighter force and air superiority.” It means continuing to introduce the KC-46 tanker into the fleet, while also continuing to revamp the service’s “career field” categories to match personnel and leadership philosophies to the needs of national security and modern warfare.

They also said it requires a new focus, fresh thinking and speed.

“The strategic environment has rapidly evolved and we haven’t changed fast enough to keep pace,” Brown told the subcommittee, noting that prior to becoming Chief of Staff he was the Air Force’s senior military official in the Indo-Pacific.

Brown added, “If we continue on a path of incremental change, our advantage erodes and losing becomes a distinct possibility.”

That possibility he said, is why he released a document entitled, “Accelerate Change or Lose” soon after becoming Chief of Staff.

Along with emphasizing speed, the three leaders said another major priority is ensuring that the U.S. Space Force continues to build on its achievements. The nation’s newest military service came into being on Dec. 20, 2019, and in its second year is focused on integrating with partners at every level.

“Now that we have built this service, we are moving at speed to capitalize on its creation,” Raymond told the subcommittee in describing the Space Force’s near term priorities.

“We have set conditions to outpace

emerging and dynamic threats and create new military options, working with the joint force, interagency, industry, and our partners and allies. These partnerships will allow us to move at speed without breaking our national treasury,” he said.

Like Roth and Brown, who specified emerging threats in blunt terms, Raymond detailed the way space is evolving into a more complex and challenging environment.

“These threats include robust jamming of GPS and communications satellites; directed energy systems that can blind, disrupt or damage our satellites; anti-satellite weapons in space or from the ground that are designed to destroy US satellites; and cyber capabilities that can deny our access to the domain,” Raymond said.

Like Raymond, Brown and Roth also of-

fered clear rationales for why the Air Force’s capabilities and readiness are crucial to the larger national security effort.

“Our Air Force is the only Service that provides our joint partners and allies the assurance of Air Superiority, the advantage of Global Strike, and the agility of Rapid Global Mobility through a range of capabilities most requested by today’s combatant commanders.”

Although confronted with an array of threats present in the air and space domains, Roth reaffirmed the Department’s commitment to its mission. “Our Airmen and Guardians stand ready, willing, and able to meet responsibilities to our Nation,” he said. “From 300 feet to 300 miles off the ground, we protect the homeland, we project power, and we defend democracy.”

The 21st Medical Group and all military treatment facilities in the Colorado area switched to the Military Health System Genesis on April 24, 2021. With the transition, the 21st MDG replaced the 20-year-old legacy system, Tricare Online Patient Portal with the MHS Genesis, a new electronic health record system. By integrating all aspects of patient records in one place, Genesis hopes to provide a higher quality of care and an overall better patient experience.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. - The 21st Medical Group and all military treatment facilities in the Colorado area switched to the Military Health System Genesis on April 24, 2021. With the transition, the 21st MDG replaced the 20-yearold legacy system, Tricare Online Patient Portal with the MHS Genesis, a new electronic health record system.

By integrating all aspects of patient records in one place, Genesis hopes to provide a higher quality of care and an overall better patient experience.

“MHS Genesis is a brand new system, please be patient with us as we get past the initial learning curve,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Patrick Pohle, 21st MDG commander. “MHS Genesis is DoD [Department of Defense] wide and we were included in a roll out with 25 other MTFs. For example, if you receive your care at the Peterson campus and then you need to go to Ft. Carson to receive some care, they will be able to access the exact same information.

We will be using the exact same tool and rolling out this electronic health record at the same time.”

Pohle said that beneficiaries should expect some delays in their care at on-base MTFs for the coming weeks during the system transition.

Some of the impact that beneficiaries should expect to see includes a 50% reduction in planned care, more network referrals for acute and specialty care, significant increases in pharmacy and lab testing wait times, and suspended use of the Tricare Online Patient Portal, as well as Tricare Online secure messaging.

“This is a new technology that we desperately needed, and yes, upfront there will be some angst,” said U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Daniel Stellabotte, 21st MDG superintendent.

“But the return on the investment for future patient experiences will be phenomenal. This is a good thing for our patients.”

The 21st MDG recommends the following to help make this transition period less stressful for patients.

They ask that you maximize the use of the Nurse Advice Line, available at (719) 524-2273. The Nurse Advise Line provides evidence-based health care advice, recommendations for the most appropriate level of care, and local emergency and urgent care facilities.

This new system will allow beneficiaries to view their health information, message primary and special care providers, request prescription refills and soon will be allowed to schedule appointments all on the MHS Genesis Patient Portal. To set up a MHS Genesis Patient Portal account, visit https://Patientportal. mhsgenesis.health.mil.

Establishing a Tricare-West Portal account will allow you to access your referrals.

In order to access your patient records on the MHS Genesis portal, you will require premium access which does not come at any extra cost. You can upgrade to a premium account at any time by verifying your identity.

Those individuals with a Common Access Card will be automatically upgraded to a premium level account.

“We must change in order to meet the needs of our patients and beneficiaries,” said Stellabotte. “We appreciate your patience and look forward to your feedback as well. Ultimately our goal is to make sure we are taking care of you, your needs and your family’s needs.”

SMC receives Northrop Grumman Vela Satellite model

By Lisa Sodders | SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER PUBLIC AFFAIRS LOS ANGELES AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - Representatives from Northrop Grumman presented a full-scale Vela satellite model to the U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center here, May 4, 2021.

During the unveiling event, Lt. Gen. John F. Thompson, Commander of SMC and Air Force Program Executive Officer for Space, thanked Northrop Grumman for the donation and said the model will be on permanent display at SMC, to inspire future generations of Airmen and Guardians.

“We’re happy to have this model continue to stand here as a testament to those programs and those people who came before us and the incredible systems those organizations of the past created that modeled the way for all of us to create similarly innovative and remarkable satellite systems in the future, with our industry partners,” Thompson said.

The Vela satellite system was the first space-based system used for nuclear surveillance.

Originated on Dec. 15, 1960 by the U.S. Air Force Ballistic Missile Division, the Atomic Energy Commission and NASA, this system was designed to detect nuclear detonations by detecting neutrons, x-rays and gamma ray radiation from nuclear explosions in the Earth’s atmosphere.

“The ability to detect nuclear detonations has played a key role in preventing nuclear war, throughout the entire nuclear age, from the earliest days of the cold war until now,” Thompson said.

“Before the Vela satellites, the U.S. and our NATO allies used a range of sensors to ‘sniff’ for nuclear particles in the air around the world,” such as the WC-135 “sniffer” jets.

“The successful collaboration of government and industry teams is noteworthy on numerous technical and scientific fronts, including the speed at which the satellites were developed and launched,” said Tom Wilson, vice president and general manager of the Strategic Space Systems Division of Northrop Grumman.

“This speed enabled the inaugural pair of Vela Hotel satellites to be launched on Oct. 17, 1963, within one week of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty going into effect. This was followed by a 21-year-run of high reliability and precision nuclear detection without a gap in coverage.”

Built by TRW, which later became part of Northrop Grumman, there were a total of 12 satellites, launched in pairs. Each satellite was 54 inches in diameter,

46 inches high and had a liftoff weight of 730 pounds and an orbital weight of 511 pounds. Its orbit was 60,000 nautical miles above the Earth and its original design life was 18 months, although the satellites were operational for many years beyond that.

The Vela program also provided scientific data on natural sources of space radiation including for the Apollo space program.

In 1967, the satellites were the first to detect extra-terrestrial gamma-ray bursts, thought to

be the brightest and most energetic electromagnetic events in the universe. The last Vela satellite was safely shut down in 1984, but the mission of monitoring nuclear detonations continues with payloads hosted on GPS satellites.

Other ceremony attendees from SMC included: Col. Tim Sejba, Program Executive Officer for Space Development; Col. John Dukes, Deputy Program Executive Officer for Space and Director of Staff; Chief Master Sergeant Lisa Arnold, Command

Chief Master Sergeant; and Cordell DeLaPena Jr., program executive officer for space production; along with Jim Simons from the Air Force Association; and Steve Scott, Maj. Gen. (Ret.), Tav Taverney and Bob Marohn from the SMC Heritage Society.

Other Northrop Grumman officials who attended the ceremony included Cyrus Dhalla, vice president of Communications Systems for the Space Systems division; Ron Squires, leader of Digital Transformation for

Strategic Space Systems Division; and Arnie Streland, Corporate Executive Lead, Los Angeles Northrop Grumman, Strategy & Development.

The U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center, located at the Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, is the Department’s center of excellence for acquiring and developing military space systems. Its portfolio includes the Global Positioning System, military satellite communications, defense meteorological satellites, space launch and range systems, satellite control networks, space based infrared systems, and space domain awareness capabilities.
