East gate changes should reduce risk of collisions

By Griffin Swartzell | SPACE OBSERVER STAFF WRITER PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The roads outside of the east gate will soon host new traffic patterns, signage and other features designed to make driving safer, as part of a collaboration between the 21st Civil Engineer Squadron and the city of Colorado Springs. “Staff and leadership have received numerous complaints from base personnel and community members about the safety and sharp increase in the number and severity of accidents in that area,” said Glenn Messke, 21st CES base planner. “Peterson Fire and Emergency Services has responded to multiple vehicle accidents at the east gate,” said Ron Meyers, 21st CES assistant fire chief. He provided information about four particular incidents, the most serious of which was a five car/truck accident with eight passengers, four of whom were hospitalized with multiple injuries. Marksheffel Road, the road that accesses the east gate, hosts high-speed through traffic that regularly comes to a stop at the gate. Vehicles regularly back up the southbound right turn lane trying to enter the installation, including commercial vehicles that require additional time at the gate due to required security. The current design forces faster southbound traffic into the left through lane, sometimes with very little time to do so, raising potential for a crash. Due to vehicles turning left into the east gate and vehicles attempting to exit the base onto Marksheffel Road, the current design and operation needed to be evaluated to reduce the high risk of traffic collisions.

To improve safety and reduce future accidents, installation leadership and civil engineering staff are coordinating with Colorado Springs to provide assistance and address proposed improvements designed by the city’s traffic engineers. Messke indicated current options include looking at both interim efforts as well as permanent solutions to mitigate conditions as soon as possible. Planned interim efforts include reducing the speed limit along Marksheffel Road, improving signage indicating the east gate and commercial vehicle entrance, and adding a “gore area” — a marked physical separation — between the southbound through lane and the right turn lane on Marksheffel Road. Messke said the traffic stop bar at the east gate as you exit the installation will be moved farther east toward Marksheffel Road, giving drivers better visibility to see around traffic in the southbound turn lane. The city hopes to have these interim mitigation efforts in place as soon as possible as we approach late spring and experience increased traffic with the upcoming permanent change of station season. As for permanent efforts, the city is in the process of designing a new signalized intersection at the east gate in cooperation with Peterson AFB leadership and staff. That (Courtesy Photo) project, including design and PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — To improve safety and reduce future accidents on Marksheffel Road, installation leadership and funding, will be a joint effort civil engineering staff are coordinating with Colorado Springs to provide assistance and address proposed improvements designed by between Colorado Springs and the city’s traffic engineers. A gore area dividing the turn and through lanes on southbound Marksheffel Road will help address visibility the Air Force. issues outside of the east gate.

Replacing power components keeps early warning radar online

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. — The 6th Space Warning Squadron, located at Cape Cod Air Force Station, Mass., operates a Pave PAWS early warning radar. This station, along with four others located throughout the Northern Hemisphere, will undergo a power system upgrade orchestrated by Program Executive Office Digital at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass.

POLISHES OFF COMPETITION IN TOASTMASTERS CONTEST PAGE 6

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. — Program Executive Office Digital will save more than $2 million in energy costs annually by replacing radar Sub-Array Power Supplies, or SAPS, with more responsive and reliable models. Digital, which oversees both the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System and PAVE Phase Array Warning System, or BMEWS and PAVE PAWS radars, avoided ‘contract capture’ by working directly with the small business that produces the parts. “This contract is a story of cutting out the middle man,” said David Roy, the PEO Digital program manager at Hanscom who oversees the replacement effort. “We could have worked with the prime contractor, and they could have subcontracted this effort out to the same vendor, but by taking this approach we are directly supporting a small business and getting products faster, and at lower cost.” Roy estimates the program will pay for itself through energy savings within 15 years. The U.S. Air Force will reap an additional $30 million See Replacing power page 5

Memorial Day Commentary

By Col. Todd Moore | 21ST SPACE WING COMMANDER

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Knights, as we commemorate Memorial Day this weekend with friends and family, I ask that you take time to remember and reflect on our brothers and sisters who have paid the ultimate price defending the freedoms we enjoy in this great nation. Their legacies cement the importance of wearing our nation’s cloth with dignity and respect. Memorial Day weekend is also considered the unofficial kickoff to summer, bringing new safety risks as temperatures rise. People spend more time outdoors when the weather is nice and off-duty mishaps remain a top concern for maintaining individual readiness. Whether you are hiking, biking, barbequing, rock climbing, water sports, or just enjoying time in the sun, it is important to remain vigilant and consider the many safety hazards wherever your adventures may take you. I ask you to be mindful of the 5 D’s: dumb, difficult, different, distracted, or drunk. Make a plan in advance for whatever you choose to do…and have a backup plan in case the first one falls through. Know who your wingman is. Use all of your personal protective equipment and seatbelts whenever you are operating a motor vehicle or motorcycle, and only drive when sober and rested. Have a GREAT, SAFE holiday weekend and be ready to return to work disciplined, aggressive and creative…like you always do. We need you well and focused on our mission and each other. It’s an honor to serve with you. Strength and Preparedness!

New Horizons ophthalmology teams give 262 Guyanese the gift of sight

By Senior Airman Derek Seifert | 12TH AIR FORCE (AIR FORCES SOUTHERN) PUBLIC AFFAIRS PORT MOURANT, Guyana — U.S. military ophthalmology teams deployed in support of New Horizons exercise 2019 and partnered with Guyanese doctors at the Port Mourant Hospital in Port Mourant, Guyana, May 6-16, 2019. The ophthalmology center at the Port Mourant Hospital was established to provide aid to the Guyanese population by screening and selecting patients to receive cataract and pterygium surgery in support of NH19. Many of the Guyanese patients have been waiting years to receive either cataract or pterygium surgery to regain their vision. “Normally, we see over 1,500 patients a month and we have a backlog of over 800 patients who have been waiting for surgery, some over five years,” said Dr. Devendra Radhy, Port Mourant Hospital doctor in charge. “Unfortunately, the ophthalmology clinic was unable to perform cataract surgeries until last week when we had a team partnered with a Guyana doctor who was able to do 22 surgeries. That was a kick start and hopefully we can continue this flow and get through our backlog.” According to Rahdy, cataract and pterygium surgery can cost between $80,000 to $100,000 Guyanese dollars, which is close to $500 U.S. dol-

lars. Many of the patients range between the ages of 50 to 80 and are poor, with an average annual household income of less than $4,000 U.S. dollars. With the support of the U.S. military and NH19, Radhy has seen a dramatic change in his patients. “Having the Americans here at this moment changes everything in the sense of how people look at the ophthalmology center,” said Radhy. “They can readily say that we are providing the service they have been waiting for a long time for. With this, you can see a different look in the patients, it’s more positive. Even from last Monday, when we started calling the patients, you see more smiles, laughing and joy knowing they will have the surgery done.” This exercise provides U.S. military members an opportunity to train for an overseas deployment. It promotes bilateral cooperation by providing opportunities for U.S. and partner nation military engineers, medical personnel and support staff to work and train side by side. “Our primary purpose is to train our [U.S. service members] on combat relevant eye care,” said U.S. Army Col. Darrel Carlton, regional health command central consultant for ophthalmology from Brooke Army Medical Center, Texas. “Our

component of the exercise is the ophthalmology side where we will be conducting cataract and pterygium surgeries, while at the same time training our Airmen and Soldiers to take care of cataracts because the techniques we use in this setting are similar to what we can expect to see in places like Iraq and Syria without seeing the trauma.” The ophthalmology component of New Horizons exercise 2019 came to an end on May 16, 2019 with a closing ceremony and remarks from a Guyanese patient. “I want to say that you have done an excellent job for us Guyanese, whichever part of Guyana they came from looking for a service that they badly in need of,” said Joyce Marks, Guyanese patient. “I want to let you know, on behalf of all the Guyanese that you attended to, that we are very, very, very grateful for that service. And I ask that God continues to bless you all with the gift and knowledge that he has imparted in all of you for the benefit of not only yourself, but for all of mankind that comes in contact with you.” Another team of U.S. military medical professionals will replace the ophthalmology team to conduct a two week surgical readiness training exercise at a women’s health clinic.

in energy savings over the remaining life of this component. Each power supply provides several kilowatts of power to sensors on the radar faces, or about enough power to run dozens of desktop computers for one day. The five radars require hundreds of SAPS units, generating a potential total output of up to more than 5 megawatts per day. This maximum output isn’t always used, but is available on an as-needed basis to warfighters who must constantly scan the horizon for signs of expected and unexpected missile launches, as well as track space-borne objects. Savings on the project come from dayto-day use of these newer and more efficient SAPS units. Each SAPS is 28% more efficient than the legacy model and able to provide more consistent and ‘cleaner’ flow of power to the radar based on real-time need. The new design also improves maintenance by reducing repair time 50 percent, cutting the number of possible repair parts from 61 to four, and improving operational availability.

According to acquisition documents, the selected vendor, Switching Power Inc., already provided 84 SAPS units in 2015 under a prime contractor maintenance and sustainment contract executed by the Harris Corporation. The current production contract is a firm-fixed price contract for Switching Power, with specific delivery orders for each site. The contractor will field a full complement of power supplies and spares to sustain each radar. The vendor expects each SAPS unit to last 30 years. The total cost of the contract is $58 million, and the program office projects completing fielding of the SAPS by the third quarter of 2025. BMEWS sites at Thule Air Base, Greenland; Clear Air Force Station, Alaska; and Royal Air Force Station Fylingdales, United Kingdom; as well as PAVE PAWS sites at Cape Cod Air Force Station, Massachusetts, and Beale Air Force Base, California, are all slated for SAPS replacements over the next six years.

TRANSITION SPOTLIGHT

Congratulations to Coast Guard Veteran Chris Conley! Chris was recently hired by a global defense contractor to assist with financial planning for the new U.S. Space Command initiative. The former MH-60J Jayhawk and MH-65D Dolphin pilot is a graduate of the Coast Guard Academy and served as a Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In summer 2018 Chris transitioned from U.S. Africa Command in Germany to Colorado Springs, retiring from the service in November. “It was hard to jump-start my networking having arrived from overseas,” said Chris. “I was reaching back to neighbors I knew here eight years ago.” Chris and his spouse quickly connected to the best resources for transitioning veterans and military spouses: Mt. Carmel’s Peer Navigators and our partnered advanced career transition course, Prep Connect 360. “These services were great; the interview preparation and self-discovery was helpful; but at that point – my urgent focus was to find a job.” Chris had interviewed for an opportunity with a large military headquarters but ran into the national defense policy requiring 180 day delay between retirement and assuming post-retirement defense employment. He needed a government waiver. The process spiraled into an administrative black hole. “After three months; I reengaged my job search which led to my new position,” said Chris. “PC360 clearly had a positive impact on my interview skills; but just knowing Mt. Carmel was here gave me confidence that a team had my back. Knowing you were there for my wife as well, alleviated a lot of pressure. It allowed me to keep a positive outlook on my entire transition. I knew if plan B didn’t work out, I would return to my Peer Navigator at Mt. Carmel and there would be a Plan C, D and E. I was never worried. That’s what Mt. Carmel did for me,” said Chris.

AFSPC member polishes off competition in Toastmasters contest By Meaghan Dorroh | AIR FORCE SPACE COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Greg Williams, legislative liaison at Headquarters, Air Force Space Command, won first place in the District 26 Toastmasters International competition in Denver, May 4, 2019. Toastmasters International, an organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a network of clubs worldwide, hosts an international speech contest every spring for members to participate and compete. Headquartered in Englewood, outside of Denver, the group has been in existence since 1924, and has more than 357,000 members in over 143 countries. Williams has won four consecutive Toastmasters competitions this year at the club, area, division, and now district levels with his speech titled, “Yes, You Can.” “My speech is about personal life stories that involve overcoming physical limitations and personal disbeliefs,” said Williams. “For example, I talk about a time when I was learning to serve a tennis ball. I didn’t think I could serve the ball because of my physical limitation. My tennis instructor, who had half of a left arm, showed me that if he could serve and play, then I could also.” As a member of Toastmasters for the last 30 years, Williams is no rookie to the thrill of competing. “I love being challenged by the other strong contestants, learning from them and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone,” said Williams. “I am trying to improve my speech, so it will become the best speech

eurocars

that I can deliver. Winning is the best part, though!” Williams is an active member of the Pikes Peak Toastmasters Club, and credits his participation in Toastmasters for instilling confidence and organization into his public speaking skills in both personal and professional spheres. “In my personal life, when I am faced with a challenge or a goal that I have set, I now realize that I have the mental capacity, determination and resolve to achieve almost any goal that I want to accomplish,” said Williams. “Because of my Toastmasters background, I now have greater confidence and organization in my briefings at work, and I’m able to present information in a way that is better received by the audience.” Williams awaits notification as to whether he will be one of the semi-finalists to compete at the World Championships of Public Speaking at the 88th Annual Toastmasters International Convention in Denver this August. While Peterson AFB hosts Toastmasters Club 5316, HQ, AFSPC is also set to launch its own club in August. “Toastmasters is known for sharpening public speaking skills, but it’s so much more than that,” said Rosie Suerdieck, historian at HQ, AFSPC and former president of Peterson Toastmasters Club 5316. “Toastmasters teaches me leadership, the importance of teamwork, the need for collaboration through active (U.S. Air Force photo by Amber Whittington) listening, and how to communicate in ways that create PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Greg Williams, legislative liaison at Headquarters, Air Force Space Command, a true sense of impact.” poses with his Toastmasters International District 26 first place trophy at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, May 9, 2019.

MAFFS Loadmaster: 15 years, two systems, still going By Staff Sgt. Tiffany Lundberg | 302ND AIRLIFT WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — It can feel intense using the MAFFS when flying 150 feet off the ground near a wildfire stretching over thousands of acres. When the co-pilot presses the button to release the 3,000 gallons of retardant Jason is sitting next to, it’s his job to make sure it goes off without a hitch. Thankfully, he helped write the book on it. Master Sgt. Jason Harvey, a 731st Airlift Squadron Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System instructor loadmaster, has been answering the U.S. Forest Service’s calls for 15 years supporting wildland fires suppression, testing a new system and bringing new loadmasters into the program. The U.S. Forest Service’s MAFFS mission is one of the 302nd Airlift Wing’s special missions providing an aerial firefighting surge capability with the MAFFS units laying lines of containment on the ground with fire retardant. “When I first joined the unit they showed me a video of the crews flying MAFFS and seeing that for the first time was exciting,” said Harvey. “It is one of those special missions that our unit had that I saw aircrew doing and I wanted in.” Five years later, he joined the MAFFS program and went on his first live fire drop during a MAFFS activation to Arizona. “I can’t really describe the feeling but I wanted to high five everyone,” he said. “There were a lot of high fives going around. It was an exciting feeling because of all the hard work I put in paid off.” About a year later, Harvey upgraded to become an instructor loadmaster and three years after that, in 2008, he was selected as one of the testers and writers for the new MAFFS II system. The MAFFS II system was being designed to replace the legacy system used when the Air Force joined the U.S. Forest Service MAFFS mission in 1973. During the testing of the MAFFS II system, Harvey became a dual-certified instructor loadmaster on the legacy system and MAFFS II system. He spent five months in Chico, California, spending time with crews cycling through, testing the system, flight testing, and writing the checklists and publications. “I was staying there as the continuity working with the test crews,” he said. “Also, being the continuity made it easier for loadmasters. Since I was certified on the older system, I was able to help bridge the gap between the old and new systems.” It was in 2008 when Harvey and his crew became the first to put the MAFFS II to use during a MAFFS activation in California.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Master Sgt. Jason Harvey, a 731st Airlift Squadron Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System instructor loadmaster, checks over the MAFFS checklist, May 9, 2019, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Harvey was one of the loadmasters selected in 2008 to test and write the checklists and procedures on the MAFFS II unit to replace the legacy system used by the Air Force MAFFS wings since 1973. Since 2004, Harvey has performed about 600 drops using the legacy and MAFFS II units. Today, Harvey still flies and teaches new loadmasters who are selected to become MAFFS certified. Watching new loadmasters arrive at the squadron, complete the requirements to be selected into the program and molded into MAFFS loadmasters is one of the most rewarding parts of his job.

“The looks on their faces of ‘Wow. I did it!’ Those moments are meaningful to me. I was in their shoes once and that feeling of accomplishment is one I’ll never forget,” he said. “This is a challenging and unique mission. They know that -- and take that responsibility seriously. We are charged with potentially saving people’s lives and their homes. “It is a fun and rewarding mission I’ve been doing for 15 years and I will continue doing it as long as I can. Absolutely.”

302nd Airlift Wing hosting annual aerial firefighting training AIR EXPEDITIONARY GROUP PUBLIC AFFAIRS

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — About 300 people from the Air National Guard, U.S. Forest Service and other firefighting agencies are scheduled Monday to begin a weeklong aerial wildland firefighting training and certification hosted by the Air Force Reserve’s 302nd Airlift Wing at Peterson Air Force Base, here. “We are eager to join up with our civilian and military partners this week and prepare for another challenging wildfire season,” said Col. James DeVere, 302nd Airlift Wing commander. “Training together is vital. We are able to battle wildfires as one seamless interagency team working with the U.S. Forest Service because of the training we do together.” Training drops will be executed in nearby forests west of Colorado Springs using potable water. Rural residents in those areas may see low-flying C-130 aircraft and U.S. Forest Service lead planes throughout the week. The 302nd Airlift Wing’s C-130 Hercules aircraft are equipped with the U.S. Forest Service’s Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System, which is capable of dropping up to 3,000 gallons of fire retardant in less than 10 seconds across a quarter-mile line. The system slides into the back of the military aircraft, and retardant is released through a nozzle on the rear left side. MAFFS aircraft can be activated to supplement the U.S. Forest Service and the civilian air tanker program to slow or stop the spread of wildland fires across the nation. The three Air National Guard wings tasked conducting MAFFS missioned include: the 146th Airlift Wing from Channel Islands, California, 152nd Airlift Wing from Reno, Nevada and the 153rd Airlift Wing from Cheyenne, Wyoming. The 302nd Airlift Wing is the only Air Force Reserve unit executing the MAFFS mission. The certification training, sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service, includes classroom sessions, flying and ground operations for Air Force aircrews, civilian lead plane pilots, and support personnel from the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Loadmasters assigned to the 302nd Airlift Wing conduct a wet fire test of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service’s Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System installed onto one of the Reserve wing’s C-130 Hercules aircraft at Peterson Air Force Base, Aug. 8, 2018. The MAFFS-equipped C-130 and its aircrew are deploying to California, today, to support aerial fire suppression missions there. Management and other state and federal firefighting agencies. "Wildland fire management agencies have relied on MAFFS for more than 40 years to provide a surge capacity when commercial air tankers are fully committed or not readily available, as they frequently are during periods of high wildfire activity," said Kim Christensen, deputy assistant

director for operations for the U.S. Forest Service. "Training that includes all of the military and civilian personnel that work together when MAFFS are mobilized is critical to ensure that military aircraft fly safely and effectively and that they can be seamlessly integrated into wildfire suppression operations."
