ANTOFAGASTA, Chile — Chilean Airman Cristian Fuenzalida installs an aircraft sling to a Chilean F-16 Fighting Falcon during an aircraft lift objective for Crash Damaged Disabled Aircraft Recovery course at Cerro Moreno Air Base in Antofagasta, Chile, June 7, 2018. The aircraft lift was the final objective for the CDDAR course that mirrors the U.S. Air Force CDDAR course.

ANTOFAGASTA, Chile (AFNS) — Twelfth Air Force (Air Forces Southern) sent a Mobile Training Team to Chile to conduct training with the Chilean Air Force on Crash Damaged Disabled Aircraft Recovery, May 13 to June 8, 2018.

The CDDAR Mobile Training Team consisted of four seasoned crew chiefs who have experienced being an aircraft crash team chief. The crew chiefs hailed from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona; Hill AFB, Utah and Peterson AFB, Colorado.

The team traveled from the U.S. to the 3rd Aviation Group at Los Condores Air Force Base in Iquique, Chile and then to the 5th Air Brigade Maintenance Group at Cerro Moreno Air Base in Antofagasta, Chile.

“I view the MTTs as a key tool in our Security Cooperation apparatus,” said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Hector L. Gonzalez, Embassy Santiago, Chile, Theater Security Cooperation Air Force section chief.

Gonzalez explained that the MTTs are requested and funded by the Chilean Air Force. “By us being able to provide assistance in an area that they feel a need to improve, we’re building that partnership, that relationship.”

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Michael Powell, 388th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Mobile Training Team member, explained that the MTT taught the basic principles of how to preserve the area surrounding an aircraft mishap for an investigation and recover a damaged or disabled aircraft.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Zeus, an American kestrel falcon is petted by children outside the library at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., June 4, 2018. This small rescue falcon is the United States Air Force Academy mascot. In the wild, American kestrels feed on insects, mice, lizards and snakes. What the smallest but most numerous of the North American falcons lack in speed, they make up for in their ability to hover over small prey while flying.

21ST SPACE WING

COMMANDER’S CORNER Introducing space to the next generation PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Operating in the space domain requires significant technical expertise and education. Part of ensuring our dominance in the space domain is maintaining a talent pool of technical experts.

One way of maintaining this talent pool is by motivating the next generation to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math degrees and careers. Without upcoming scientist, technicians and engineers, our military’s future superiority will be compromised.

In support of this effort, the Maui Economic Development Board, Air Force Research Lab Det 15 and 20th Space Control Squadron Det 3 hosted the 3rd Annual “Introduce a Girl to Astronomy Day” on May 10, 2018 at the Maui Space Surveillance Complex.

The event was designed to expose and educate approximately 80 Maui middle school students on opportunities in the field of astronomy and space operations.

The students participated in a variety of activities to include a hands-on laser experiment, a planetarium

Maj. Erin Salinas 20 Space Control Squadron Det 3 experience, and a tour of AFRL Det 15 and 20 SPCS Det 3.

During the 20 SPCS Det 3 tour, the students were able to get up close to a Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance telescope. The 20 SPCS Det 3 team provided an overview of our Space Situational Awareness mission. We demonstrated how we support the protection of the space capabilities they use on a daily basis, such as GPS and satellite TV. At the same time, these young ladies were able to

see and touch the 10,000 pound GEODSS telescope. 20 SPCS Det 3 also provided a telescope demonstration allowing the students to see how the telescope moves throughout the night. Students were able to further satisfy their curiosity through a question and answer session.

Questions ranged from how many objects are in space to what kind of camera does GEODSS use. Many of the students had no idea such an important mission was being conducted just up the hill from them on the island of Maui.

Together with the MEDB and AFRL Det 15, we were able to inform these young ladies of STEM opportunities in astronomy and space operations and its importance to the defense of our nation. We hope we inspired a number of them to consider or pursue a STEM career in the future. If one student was moved or inspired to pursue a career in the astronomy, space operations, or any STEM career field, our efforts were a success.

Peterson members have received the award every year since 1994.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Airmen across Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado observed Arbor Day, June 15, 2018.

To celebrate, Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Jacob Simmons, 21 SW command chief received the Tree City USA Annual Growth Award, at the wing headquarters building.

Andy Schlosberg, Colorado State Forest Services forester, presented the award to Moore, Simmons, and Dan Rodriguez, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron deputy base civil engineer and children from the R.P. Lee Youth Center at Peterson AFB. “Arbor Day reminds people of the importance of the environment they’re living in, and making the community a nicer place to live,” said Schlosberg.

Peterson AFB was awarded the Annual Growth Award under the Tree City USA program by the Colorado State Forest Service, an award it has won every year since 1994.

The Tree City USA program began in 1976, and is a nationwide program that provides guidance for communities to manage and expand its public tree populations.

Arbor Day started in 1872, when J. Sterling Morton worked with the Nebraska Board of Agriculture to plant over a million trees in Nebraska on a single day.

“To preserve beauty on the earth, beauty herself beseeches us to plant trees, and renew dead landscapes with the shadow and light of plant life flitting through the pendant limbs, the willowy boughs and the waving foliage of sturdy, yet graceful woods. Our ancestors planted orchards to fruit for us, and homes to give us shelter,” Morton said in 1885.

The tradition of planting trees on Arbor Day has continued across the United States and the world.

Since the beginning of 2017, 101 new or replaced trees were planted across Peterson AFB.

Managing, improving lives the norm for nurse case manager

By Audrey Jensen 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Anna HalulaBusby, 21st Medical Group nurse case manager, laid awake at night looking at a picture of the family who would never be the same if they didn’t get the help they needed.

For any hope of a better life, Halula-Busby knew her patient needed to have a specific surgery so he could comfortably use a prosthetic after his accident. If it didn’t happen, she knew life would be difficult for him.

As a nurse case manager, Halula-Busby’s job means helping patients who have the most complications, educating patients on their resources, getting the patient where they need to go and cutting through red tape to speed along the process, she said.

In this case, Halula-Busby’s patient fell from a significant height while working an outside job. The patient had multiple surgeries and a lot of complications, she said.

“He had a lot of injuries and he went to the hospital in a helicopter,” she said. “It should have been fatal. It would have been fatal for most people.”

After the Airman had the initial surgery to save his life, the next step was figuring out what the surgeon needed to do so he could comfortably use a prosthetic.

To have this more complicated surgery, Halula-Busby’s patient would have to travel out of state, where an experienced surgeon could perform the procedure.

“I needed to get him out of Colorado, because the next day they were going to do the wrong surgery,” Halula-Busby said.

His physician cleared him to be airlifted out of state for the surgery, but it took longer than Halula-Busby wanted for him to arrive.

“They said, ‘Yeah, it’s not going to happen today.’ I said, ‘OK, as long as it happens first thing tomorrow it’s good.’

They said it wasn’t going to happen again, and this was the next day. I said, ‘That’s not an option. He’s got to fly today,’” Halula-Busby said.

“I made so many phone calls that there were probably 13 people involved. I basically had to beg, I said ‘You’ve got to get this kid out of here, because if we wait one more day, they’re doing surgery first thing tomorrow.”

Eventually her patient was airlifted to get surgery outside of Colorado after two days. It was later than Halula-Busby

Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. – Anna Halula-Busby, 21st Medical Group nurse case manager, worked to get an Airman from Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., June 15, 2018, to a hospital out of state to get the surgery he needed. Halula-Busby helps patients who have the most complications, educates them on their resources, and cuts through red tape to speed along the process. hoped it would be, but a team of people made it possible, she said.

“I was working this case at 11 p.m.,” she said. “I stayed in contact with the patient’s mom, I slept with my phone on, I made sure everybody had each other’s phone numbers. I was so worried something would go wrong. So at 3 a.m., the mom called me back and said ‘OK we’re here.’ I didn’t sleep much that night at all.”

The surgery was successful, and now her patient is with his family while he continues to go to physical therapy.

For Halula-Busby, she doesn’t consider herself a hero, she sees what she did as part of her job. Per year, Halula-Busby and her team handle hundreds of medical cases, she said.

“Hopefully we get patients to the best place, that’s my goal,” said Halula-Busby.

She doesn’t see specific cases like this often, but HalulaBusby said she does get lot of her patients the help they need.

“That’s really what case management does,” Halula-Busby said. “That’s certainly not the first time we had an issue like that. That’s our job, and I’m a nurse case manager, which is similar, it’s just to make these things happen.”

To keep herself motivated in this case, Halula-Busby said she continued to think about her patient’s future.

“I just kept thinking about his family, that this surgery would affect his life forever, like whether maybe he could take a job or not. Maybe he would have given up,” she said.

“It was so important — how could I just rest?”

Halula-Busby said she treats all of her cases the same.

“I think it’s important to give 100 percent all the time,” she said. “Sometimes people say that there are no emergencies in case management, but I disagree with that. Sometimes, it may not be an emergency, but you can make a life changing difference.”

ANTOFAGASTA, Chile — U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Charles Biddulph, 21 Space Wing Mobile Training Team member, instructs Chilean Airmen on connecting a snatch cable to an aircraft landing gear D-ring during Crash Damaged Disabled Aircraft Recovery at Cerro Moreno Air Base in Antofagasta, Chile, June 4, 2018. The MTT traveled to Iquique, Chile and then to Antofagasta, Chile.

The MTT certified 35 Chilean Airmen on CDDAR at both locations.

ANTOFAGASTA, Chile — U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Joseph Salazar, 12th Air Force (Air Forces Southern) Mobile Training Team leader, speaks to Chilean Airmen about an aircraft lift sling during Crash Damaged Disabled Aircraft Recovery course at Cerro Moreno Air Base in Antofagasta, Chile, June 7, 2018. The Chilean Airmen were given classroom instruction covering an aircraft recovery plan, personnel protective equipment, and CDDAR operation followed by hands on training.

The two-week CDDAR course was instructed in English , the same as the U.S. Air Force CDDAR course. This was an opportunity for the Chilean Airmen to practice speaking in English as they already often read in English, since their aircraft technical orders are the same as the U.S. Air Force.

“The course being in English actually helped me,” said Chilean Air Force Airman Gonzalo Payacan, 5th Air Brigade Maintenance Group F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chief. “All of the Technical orders of my specialty are written in English. The course helps me prepare when needed.”

Throughout the training course, the Chilean Airmen were given classroom instruction covering an aircraft recovery plan, personnel protective equipment, and CDDAR operation followed by hands on training.

Chilean Airmen demonstrated their knowledge by responding to a simulated damaged disabled F-16 Fighting Falcon and connecting a crane to simulate lifting the aircraft for the final objective of the course.

“To physically see the aircraft lift procedures was a great experience,” Paycan said. “I’m grateful to have experienced it.”

Thirty-five Chilean Airmen graduated the CDDAR course from both locations. The Chilean Airmen hailed from F-16 maintenance career fields to include: crew chiefs, jet engine mechanics, sheet metal technicians, avionics mechanics, safety non commissioned officers, egress technicians, non-destruction inspection technicians, aircrew flight equipment technicians, maintenance officers and quality assurance inspectors.

“It’s very important we interact with different aircraft specialties when we need to pick up an aircraft,” said Chilean Air Force Tech. Sgt. Benjamin Zepeda, 5th Air Brigade Maintenance Group F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chief. “They will have different viewpoints and they are going to be the ones lifting the aircraft.”

Upon completing the final objective, U.S. and Chilean Airmen conducted a team debrief over what went well and what could’ve been improved. The following day the U.S. Airmen held a graduation ceremony for the newly CDDAR certified Chilean Airmen.

“Thank you for your time and your patience and for giving us the instruction, life experiences and your knowledge,” Zepeda said. “The instructors did everything in their power to make the course the best.”

Employee Assistance Program—One-Stop Resource for Support

By Mark C. Lyle Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Public Affairs

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFNS) — The Air Force’s new Employee Assistance Program provides civilian employees and their families with free, confidential resources and support to help manage normal everyday life challenges that may affect job performance and personal well-being.

The AF EAP/Worklife4You bundle of services and resources provides support on two levels: AF EAP provides counseling, financial and legal services, whereas Worklife4you provides a “concierge-like” service to help assist with every day stressors, no matter how large or small. Additionally, individuals have access 24/7 via 1-800-222-0364 and online.

Because of its large civilian population, Wright-Patterson actually has an AF EAP counselor located on the installation who regularly sees employees. However, Danna Plewe, the Air Force EAP Program Manager, said “Depending on the need, employees have the option to ask for an off-base affiliate provider by calling the 1-800 number.”

An affiliate provider is a licensed, credentialed professional in the community who is authorized to provide up to 6 counseling sessions, per topic, at no cost to the employee.

The Air Force has about 22,000 affiliate providers worldwide and can provide services in up to 80 languages.

According to Plewe, AF EAP is not just a service people should utilize when there is a crisis, but at any time they might need help. Employees can use EAP for a variety of subjects to balance work-life demands. For example, financial information, as well as planning tools, are available to assist members with assessing budgets, savings and investing strategies, or simply figuring out if it is more advantageous to buy or lease an automobile.

AF EAP also covers free consults with a lawyer, but the legal benefit does not include assistance for labor or employment matters.

Supervisors and managers of civilian employees may also reach out to AF EAP. Consultants assist supervisors in identifying issues before they become problems, provide management strategies and coaching skills designed to improve working relationships, productivity and employee resilience.

In addition to traditional EAP services, AF EAP bundled with Worklife4You provides support in areas such as

Rutherford assumes command of the 13th Space Warning Squadron

By Tech. Sgt. Natalie Stanley 168th Wing Public Affairs

CLEAR AIR FORCE STATION, Alaska — Lt. Col. Jeffrey Rutherford assumes command of the 13th Space Warning Squadron during a change of command ceremony, June 13, 2018, at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska.

Rutherford succeeds outgoing commander Lt. Col. Joel Lane in a ceremony presided over

by Col. Devin Pepper, 21st Operations Group commander, 21st Space Wing, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

In his opening remarks Pepper recognized Lane’s accomplishments as commander over the past year and wished him well on his next assignment.

“Thank you for your calm, reasoned demeanor and being a consummate professional,” said Pepper. “Take pride in all you have accomplished.”

Pepper spoke on the unique dynamics Rutherford will encounter as commander of the 13th SWS total force team. He stated the

job is a lot of responsibility for one commander, but with a team consisting of active duty, Air National Guard, department of defense civilians and contractors, they aren’t alone.

Rutherford most recently served as the 21st Space Wing’s Inspector General at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

During his remarks, Rutherford expressed his gratitude to team Clear for the warm welcome he received and to Lane for his leadership as commander.

“You are going to be a hard act to follow,” said Rutherford. “I will strive to grow and cultivate the great relationships you have started as I know it takes the entirety of team Clear to do the mission.”

Pepper charged Rutherford to take care of his people, use sound judgement and enjoy his time as commander.

The 13th SWS provides space situation awareness and tactical warning of ballistic missile attacks against the United States and Canada as part of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System. The squadron is a geographically separated unit of the 21st SW.

Rafting for resilience

By Staff Sgt. Emily Kenney 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

CAÑON CITY, Colo. — The sun clings to your skin as you tread along the sandy banks of the Arkansas River.

With each step you take, nerves and adrenaline race through your body.

Ahead of you awaits your next challenge.

Helmet: check.

Life jacket: check.

You trudge through the shallow water as you step into your raft. The 60-degree water is a refreshing contrast to the 90-degree air.

With an abrupt push from the shore, your blue and yellow raft disembarks toward class-4 rapids.

You’re nervous, but you’re excited.

This is your first time whitewater rafting. Surrounded by people you barely know, you wonder ‘how am I going to handle this?’

Seven Peterson Air Force Base Airmen were presented with this exact situation when they went on a chaplain-sponsored whitewater rafting resilience trip.

“Our goal was to take these Airmen and provide them a little bit of resilience training from the Master Resiliency Trainer and focus on teamwork,” said Capt. Joshua Flynn, 21st Space Wing chaplain. “Whitewater rafting requires the whole team to be on board and that intertwines with life. You’ll go through some rough times and you have to lean on other people. You’re going to hit some tough spots and it can be fearful, but that’s how life is sometimes.”

Tech. Sgt. Sarah McGowan, Equal Opportunity NonCommissioned Officer in Charge and MRT agreed.

“Life is like a river,” said McGowan. “It’s going to keep

CAÑON CITY, Colo. — Staff Sgt. Danny Pallacier, 21st Space Wing religious affairs specialist, listens to a safety brief before whitewater rafting June 8, 2018, in Cañon City, Colo. The rafting excursion was part of a chaplain-sponsored resilience trip, where participants were encouraged to use their resiliency skills to get through the class-4 rapids. taking you along and there are going to be bumps to get through along the way. You need a strong support system, such as the other members in the raft, to work together and get through the rapids of life.”

As the Airmen rushed toward the rapids they were encouraged to paddle together, ultimately achieving their common goal: get past the rapids without flipping their raft.

“You also need to do some purposeful planning ahead of time to be ready for the challenges you may face and avoid panic such as falling out of a raft,” said McGowan.

“One of our river guides said it best when he explained how he was certifying a new instructor during the trip, and he wouldn’t fail the test if the raft flipped over, but what mattered was how he handled the situation and getting us back upright.”

The day concluded with a lunch and group discussion which included capitalizing on strengths and the importance of resilience in everyday life.

“Later on in life if they’re going through something they might be able to look back on this experience and use some of the skills they learned today– whether that’s teamwork or just recognizing that they have a group of people to lean on and that can help them get through it,” said Flynn.

McGowan said one of the most important lessons the team learned was the importance of synchronization and flexibility within their roles in the raft.

“We had to communicate effectively and be aware to make sure we were all on the same page, and be aware of what was going on around us,” said McGowan. “We also had to fulfill different team roles, which can be compared to our experience as a military member in leadership and followership positions.”

Flynn said he hopes hands-on experiences can help Airmen capitalize on their newfound resiliency skills.

“Some people are better off being put in front of a PowerPoint presentation with outlined objectives,” said Flynn. “Others need a hands-on experience for the skills to stick more. To actually have to put those skills to the test might actually make them stick more.”

A PEAK BEHIND THE CURTAIN:

PTSD barriers and stigmas

By Shireen Bedi Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Effective treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder is possible, but many Airmen falsely think seeking medical help for PTSD will hurt their career and will not help them get better.

These stigmas and misconceptions create perceived barriers, preventing Airmen from seeking care. Delaying treatment can cause the anxiety and fear following a traumatic event to affect an Airman’s readiness.

“If not properly addressed, PTSD decreases Airmen’s quality of life,” said Capt. Jordan Fields, an Air Force clinical psychologist at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. “They can be less engaged, isolate themselves, and become more irritable and angry. It tends to have a negative impact on relationships, job performance, and mission readiness.”

Lt. Col. Joel Foster, the Air Force Mental Health Policy chief, says that many times Airmen delay seeking treatment for mental health problems because they have heard supposed stories of Airmen losing their jobs after going to the mental health clinic. Air Force mental health experts say these stories are largely myths, and that the vast majority of visits to the mental health clinic result in Airmen getting better.

“You can have one person in an entire squadron be discharged for mental health and word of that rare case spreads,” said Foster. “As a result, the rest of the squadron will have that fear despite the overwhelming fact that there is a relatively low risk that their PTSD diagnosis will negatively impact their career.”

As Foster explains, cases of Airmen losing careers from a PTSD diagnosis are extremely rare because current treatments have improved and access to mental health care has increased.

Some Airmen may put off seeking PTSD treatment because they do not know what the therapy entails.

“People are hesitant to try something when they do not know what to expect,” said Foster.

“Many associate mental health with things

objectives in place for each session. Prolonged exposure and cognitive behavior therapy are two of the most common therapies.

“For example, with prolonged exposure, we will safely work with the patient to slowly discuss those feelings and emotions surrounding the traumatic event until the fear and anxiety subsides,” said Foster. “Sessions are recorded for patients to review on their own. Often, they are given homework to help continue the therapeutic practices at home.”

PTSD treatments are highly effective.

Foster cited research that shows more than 80 percent of patients respond favorably to protocol-based treatments.

“I have treated many PTSD patients who respond extremely well to protocol-based treatment,” said Foster. “After treatment many of them no longer meet the criteria to be diagnosed with PTSD. It is a total loss of diagnosis. This is great for the active duty population because it allows them to do their job.”

As Fields explains, treatment can be difficult, but worth it. Most patients are able to return to their jobs and lives, and function at a high level.

“We are still learning more about PTSD itself, but it is important to know that it is very treatable,” said Fields. “Every Airman needs to know that.”

Researchers continue to look at ways to improve PTSD treatment so that Airmen can get even better results. Peterson estab(U.S. Air Force illustration by Master Sgt.

39TH U.S. SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP JUNE 25 - JULY 1 | THE BROADMOOR

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — It was 1993 when the 302nd Airlift Wing received the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System mission from the Air Force Reserve’s 943rd Airlift Group, March Air Force Base, California. The MAFFS mission provided aerial firefighting support to largescale, wildland fires by laying down lines of fire retardant to aid in the suppression of fires — assisting the ground firefighting containment efforts.

This special mission was transferred due to a change in the the California reserve group’s flying mission and would become an additional mission to the 302nd AW’s C-130 tactical airlift mission.

The Department of Defense MAFFS mission was congressionally established in the 1970s to assist the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and is an interagency cooperation between several entities. Federally, the 302nd AW belongs to the Department of Defense but works alongside the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center when activated to provide MAFFS support.

As the only Air Force Reserve wing supporting MAFFS, in 1993 the 302nd AW joined three Air National Guard C-130 wings who were already doing the mission. They included the 146th AW based at Channel Islands Air National Guard Base, California, the 145th AW based at Charlotte, North Carolina, and the 153rd AW based at Cheyenne, Wyoming.

“The arrival of the MAFFS units was very interesting,” said Tech. Sgt. Tanya Keller, 302nd Maintenance Group plans, scheduling and documenting. “Just the whole concept of being able to put this big holding tank [MAFFS system] in the aircraft where it had a section toward the back where the loadmaster would sit with the controls to drop the retardant.”

Keller went on to describe how in order to operate the MAFFS system C-130 Hercules aircrews had to open the ramp and door of the aircraft while in flight for the two system nozzles to stick out of the back of the aircraft.

“The challenge with that was because of the wind and air currents you got a lot of blow back so we got a lot of intrusion of the retardant material into our elevators and vertical stabilizers,” Keller said. “Clean up was a chore.”

Not long after taking up the new special mission and completing their first training and certification with the U.S. Forest Service, Reservists from the 731st Airlift Squadron and 302nd Maintenance Group were called to their first MAFFS activation. They responded to Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center, California, Oct. 28, 1993, along with C-130s and crews from the 146th AW and the 153rd AW. Together they dropped over 1.7 million pounds of fire retardant, according to the 302nd AW’s print publication, the Front

“In the first several years, my fondest memory is the people,” said Master Sgt. Thomas Freeman, 731st Airlift Squadron instructor MAFFS loadmaster who has been part of the MAFFS mission throughout its tenure at the 302nd AW. “Everybody coming together for one thing, everybody had their eye on the ball. When you’re out there and see the smoke in the air you know that there are houses burning so everybody puts their head down, gets together and gets the job done.”

The program has undergone some changes to include the replacement of the U.S. Forest Service MAFFS units.

In 2009, the U.S. Forest Service replaced the Legacy MAFFS units with the MAFFS II system. The new system is a self-contained system that allows access to more reload bases, reduces required personnel and therefore allows more drops per day.

“Now with the MAFFS II units, the delivery system changed to go out the paratroop doors with sealed delivery mechanisms where it wasn’t coming back in,” said Keller.

“There is still a little bit just from spray but we don’t have near the corrosion and issues we had with the Legacy MAFFS units.”

For Lt. Col. Brad Ross, 302nd Operations Group MAFFS operations chief, “The biggest change was the structure of the program.

Today, when MAFFS is activated we become part of the [MAFFS] Air Expeditionary Group establishing standardized organizational structure and command relationships.

Now when you look at how each of the four wings operate it’s very similar, it’s like flying with someone from your own unit.”

The MAFFS participating wing line up changed in 2016. The 145th AW’s mission changed to C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and the National Guard Bureau announced the MAFFS mission would be picked up by the 152nd AW in Reno, Nevada in 2016. Today, the 152nd AW is the newest of the four wings supporting MAFFS. Over the last 25 years, Air Force reservists of the 302nd Airlift Wing through rigorous training and dedication to the mission have aided in countless fires supporting firefighters to save homes and lives in multiple western states including Colorado. Additionally, according to MAFFS AEG statistics from 1993 to 2017, when federally activated, the four wings have dedicated over 8,900 sorties, 22.9 billion gallons of retardant dropped and 9,600 flying hours to MAFFS. “It is a rewarding mission for us to be a part of because we have an immediate effect and an immediate response to be able to prevent or mitigate the effects of a wildland fire,” said Ross. “Since we are prone to those events in this area of the country it is important to have those assets here and available when we are needed.”

Editor’s note: This story is part of a 302nd AW Public Affairs series recognizing the 302nd AW’s MAFFS mission during the 25th anniversary year of the wing’s support to this special C-130 mission at Peterson AFB, Colorado.
