MEET THE CHIEF: 544 ISRG change Chief Master Sgt. Jacob Simmons of command

By Staff Sgt. Erica Picariello PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On a rainy Friday afternoon, Chief Master Sgt. Jacob Simmons, 21st Space Wing command chief had a 30 minute break in his schedule to discuss his journey, how he views our mission, what we can expect of him, and what he expects from the men and women of the 21 SW.

Please tell us about your background: I enlisted into the military because I wanted to do something that mattered; something I could be proud doing until I figured out which way was up for my life. Growing up at Fort Hood, Texas, I actually had every intention of joining the Army and would have been a soldier had I not listened to a still small voice during one life-changing event. While getting set to sign my very final piece of Army enlistment paperwork at MEPs, an Airman walked by in service dress. I stopped just shy of the Oath when I realized that in my eagerness to get “life” started I didn’t research all of my options – and I owed myself that. It wasn’t cold feet, I just knew the magnitude of what I was doing. So I turned to my recruiter and told him I needed to learn something about the Air Force before I’d be ready to swear in to the Army. One conversation with the Air Force recruiter back home and a good look at the career catalog, and I was sold! I came in “open-general” believing that any specialty the Air Force assigned me to could offer a future in or out of the military. Of course, like most Airmen, I didn’t think about serving down the road past my initial enlistment; I just needed to get the ball rolling faster in my life. As a brand new Airman Basic, I was accessed into the Aerospace Control and Warning Systems Operations (1C5) career field. It’s very similar to being a Space Operator (1C6) – they just operate in the air domain. In fact, the two career fields were so closely aligned at one time, you could hop between their jobs, tasks and locations. If you go to the North See Chief page 12

Reserve C-130s support Colorado firefighting efforts 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Air Force Reserve Command’s 302nd Airlift Wing flew multiple Modular Airborne Fire Fighting missions today dropping fire retardant to draw lines of containment supporting the suppression efforts of the Spring Creek fire in Colorado. The 302nd AW received a request for assistance from the National Interagency Fire Center for two MAFFS-equipped C-130 Hercules aircraft and aircrews to support fire suppression efforts in the Western U.S. MAFFS is a self-contained aerial firefighting system, owned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which can discharge 3,000 gallons of fire retardant in less than 10 seconds, covering an area one-quarter of a mile long by 100 feet wide. Once the load is discharged, it can be refilled in less than 12 minutes on the ground. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command at Peterson AFB, provides unique military support to firefighting efforts when requested by the National Interagency Fire Center and approved by the Secretary of Defense. These diverse mission assets are prepared to respond quickly and effectively to protect lives, property, critical infrastructure and natural resources, and can include, but are not limited to, MAFFS, military helicopters and ground forces capable of supporting the firefighting efforts.

21ST SPACE WING

COMMANDER’S CORNER

Dedication to compliance PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- In an Air Force full of “shalls,” “musts,” and “wills,” total compliance is something I don’t think is ever achievable. The statement “COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PUBLICATION IS MANDATORY,” is written across thousands of directive Air Force publications that Airmen are ordered to follow, but in the end, no Air Force member or organization can know of, or completely comply with all requirements. When internally or externally inspected, our inevitable violations are categorized as minor, significant, or critical. Are these violations a measure of our commitment to the Air Force and its mission? I believe the answer is no. Violations will happen, however, the important measuring stick is how Airmen and organizations use standards of conduct, for example the Air Force Core Values, to better comply with the thousands of written orders they are given. My intent with the above statements is not to minimize the importance of written orders by authoritative publications. Air Force publications are necessary to ensure that standardized processes and by-law requirements are followed by over 600,000 total force personnel. My intent is to acknowledge the fact that it is impossible to be in compliance with every requirement at all times, and that’s OK. What’s not OK is not doing anything about that fact. Even though 100 percent compliance can never be achieved, it is still the duty of Air Force personnel to identify and minimize violations. Using the Air

Master Sgt. Richard Nash 721st Security Forces Squadron Force Core Values is vital while continuously striving to meet this goal. Having “Integrity first” is more than just doing the right thing when it comes to compliance. Sometimes situations may occur where doing the right thing by Air Force standards is hard, or even impossible. Integrity may mean having the courage to identify violations even if doing so will “rock the boat.” Organizations are often reluctant to change, especially when mission success is high. Identifying rule violations is everyone’s job and should be encouraged, however, when things are running successfully, change agents are often discouraged. We must strive to not only do the right thing when no one is looking, but also identify the right thing to the unreceptive. On the other hand, leaders must have the openness to be receptive when violations are brought to them. The biggest challenge I see in regards to compliance and the second core value of “Service before self,” is

having faith in the system. To knowingly not comply with Air Force requirements is to believe you know better than the leaders appointed over you. Sometimes requirements and processes seem utterly cumbersome and nonsensical, but disregarding the standards is not an option given to us. We must have faith our leaders have written these processes for a reason and we must strive to educate ourselves to understand the bigger picture. Achieving “Excellence in all we do” is easier said than done. To me, excellence is something more evolutionary than static. We all know that members of the Air Force must continue to pursue personal development in order to be successful in the Air Force but the same is true for an individual’s or organization’s adherence to standards. When I think about the easiest way to conduct self-development, it is to pursue education. The same is true for compliance. As stated above, there are thousands of Air Force publications. Reading, studying, and complying with them is a responsibility of all Airmen at every level of leadership. It may be possible to be in compliance by mistake if you haven’t read the requirements, but it is impossible to be excellent in all that you do by mistake. Excellence takes work. The inability to follow all Air Force standards is not something often discussed, but is a struggle that individuals and organizations face every day. The best tool you can use to help minimize compliance violations, may be one of the first things you learned in basic training, the Air Force Core Values.

American Aerospace Defense Command/United States Northern Command command center today ... they still have 1C5s and 1C6s on the floor blurring the operational lines between air and space. I really enjoyed my first two assignments. The missions were amazing and the locations weren’t too bad either, but it was the caliber of the Airmen around me that locked me into reenlisting. I’ve always been very selective with whom I surround myself with. I’m all about quality over quantity. When I reached the first-term retraining/reenlistment “fork in the road,” I was fortunate to have noncommissioned officers around me that poured their perspectives into me - unsolicited. I am so thankful to my supervisors who took the time to help me navigate through the options, shared their experiences, and positively influenced my decision to pursue a career in space operations – at least for the next four years. Their engaged and intrusive mentorship gave me the confidence to take that second leap of faith into the unknown. I realized then and benefited from the enormous trust placed in the counsel of NCOs. Our Airmen, just as I did, still look to NCOs for direction – life altering direction. When asked, I don’t take it lightly. As my “spacewalk” began, so did our family. My beautiful bride of nearly 24 years (Ana) and I were married and we started down a parallel path of parenthood. Unintentionally, space operations afforded us eighteen consecutive years in Colorado…eighteen straight. It’s not that we tried to stay or wanted to leave, it was just the nature of the career field and how the assignments fell over the years. Although space didn’t orbit us around the world like many other Airmen get to experience, it did give our family stability and the opportunity to build strong relationships both in and out of the uniform. We took full advantage of entrenching into the community and our church home.

We are thrilled to have the chance to pick back up where we left off. The timing couldn’t be better either with our oldest entering his final year as a cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy and our youngest entering her junior year of high school with old friends. Our middle son has just started his 4-year cadet crucible at the Coast Guard Academy. Because space operations is so dynamic and always evolving, staying in one geographic location in no way stagnated my Air Force career. Every squadron had a different mission and was new start, but still offered supervisory roles and leadership responsibilities that groomed me as an NCO and senior NCO. From missile warning to satellite command and control to space control to joint operations to staff positions, my space operations career has been full of diversity and development. No two assignments were the same and I’ve been fortunate to experience them at the tactical, operational and strategic level. I would put the breadth of exposures in space operations up against any Air Force Space Command because space really is that big! Culminating my time as a space professional, I jumped at the invitation to spend a few years on the Headquarters Air Force Space Command staff, and then a few more at the Pentagon; listening and learning from some of our most preeminent military leaders. There’s nothing quite so humbling as knowing you are sitting in the place where the buck stops and the blame goes. That said, those two duties were where I felt the most empowered and prepared to give back to the part of the Air Force that had invested so much into shaping me. I think we need to push that feeling of ownership way down to our newest Airmen so that the best new ideas can start rising up. My last assignment was at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, as the 461 Air Control Wing command chief. It was my first real reunion with the “Air” Force since retraining in 1996. It was there, working with Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System maintainers and operators, and our deployable Air Traffic Control teams, that I witnessed first-hand the reliance in space effects into every corner of our enterprise – we touch everything, everywhere. I also gained a much clearer

SPACE OBSERVER Thursday, July 12, 2018

www.peterson.af.mil

appreciation for what Airmen and their families outside of my stove-piped perspective were going through and bringing to the fight each and every day. Space is big, but the Air Force is bigger. At Robins AFB, our wing was a mission partner to a host base. This meant the commander and I had to build relationships across the base with peers in order to get the support for our missions prioritized and the needs of our Airmen met. Partnering was at the center of everything; it fueled innovation and propelled community relations. I believe all of my opportunities have built up to this – the chance to be the command chief at the 21st Space Wing – the premier wing in the Air Force! To be honest, I wanted to be here earlier, but I needed to do and go through other things first so that when I got here I would have enough in my tool box to reach into. It’s easy to come here and fail fast. This wing can be overwhelmingly demanding of each of us. There is so much going on here with multiple mission sets across the world — you can’t show up here without bringing your “A” game. There’s no room for people that want to just be here and glide or draft … this is a place for powered flight; we all have to work together to add momentum. We all lift the wing. This is your fourth tour at Peterson AFB — how has the mission changed and how has it stayed the same? It depends on how you look at it. Without a doubt, the posture of space operations and presentation of space forces has been continually evolving, mostly along a predictive path because of technology but sometimes it surged jarringly forward due to events that were out of our control. Over the past decade or so, other nations have begun to cast votes with regards to what goes on in the space domain. As a space community, we’ve gone from focusing narrowly on our capabilities and effects to acknowledging that we’re not the only player on the field to openly regarding space as an extension of the AOR in escalated conflict. That affects all of the war fighters. That changes everything – how we fight wars and how we live life here at home. That wasn’t the case when I came into space operations in 1996. It was quiet

then. Now there’s noise in space. Another thing that I know has changed since I’ve been out of space command is me, specifically how I view the command. It got bigger. We still have outstanding Airmen and the base is about the same as I left it in 2014, however how I see our outstanding Airmen and how I see what they bring to the fight has changed. I had grown accustomed to looking at things through a very functional lens, from a mission-oriented standpoint, and in an enterprise sort of way. Now I get to see space from a different (more unobstructed) vantage point, where it’s clear that space DOES NOT operate in a functional vacuum ... it takes defenders, firefighters, comptrollers, personnel specialists, network communicators, training managers, civil engineers, comptrollers, and every other AFSC that comprises the space team. Coming back to Peterson AFB, I had to open my aperture to see the bigger picture; the things that were not in my old familiar job jar. Everyone contributes – everyone fights – everyone is at the tip of our space spear. What are you excited about impacting as the command chief? It would be easier to say, “What’s not to be excited about.” There is no better or more important wing in the Air Force, especially right now. I hope to contribute to advancing our collective ability to accomplish the mission and be value added to the lives of all of our Airmen. What is the biggest challenge today's Airmen face? I think the biggest challenge all of our Airmen face today is believing that they are truly empowered enough to be innovative. That we value and will invest in their ideas. We’ve got to build trust into our Airmen that we genuinely need their input because things are changing so rapidly; that we’re willing to fail if we’re moving forward and that they won’t get into trouble for failing. I think the Air Force is opening tent doors, and we all need to seize upon the opportunity of the day. Every Airman now has a seat at the table. Every Airman needs to exercise their voice if they see something they think can be done better and especially if they see something

that is being done wrong. The follow up to that challenge is time. We need to act now. We can no longer afford to admire the problem. What can the men and women of the 21 SW expect from you? First and foremost, they can expect a lot of questions. Not to question them, but questions because I don’t know. In order for me to be effective, I need to understand what’s going on in my surroundings. I’m a firm believer that I will fail in my job as the command chief if I’m not constantly being revectored by Airmen. I hope to learn something new each day from them and then apply that knowledge the next day. They should also expect me to be transparent with what I’ve learned. I think the bottom line is that you can’t do anything in this wing by yourself. You can’t undertake everything this wing needs solo — you have to rely on the Airmen beside you to do their part; after all, they are the experts – not me. We have to trust each other. I think micromanaging tells our Airmen two things: we don’t trust them and we don’t have enough work of our own to do. Once I’m settled, I may ask a different type of question ... but they’ll be more informed and coherent questions because the Airmen would have set me up for success. What do you hope to accomplish during your tenure as command chief? I do not have an agenda and the vision belongs to the commander, but he has certainly encouraged me to jump into any area I believe I can add value with both feet. I believe the two things he will look most to me to do is build bridges and strengthen relationships across the base and the Front Range, and make sure our Airmen and families are taken care of. I intend to focus on the development of all of our Airmen and at the end of the day ensure that everyone has more of what they need to accomplish the part of the mission. I won’t be naive to say we can accomplish everything, but we should move the ball forward. I’m not about going backwards and I’m not about standing still.
