Faces of Space: U.S. Space Force Spc. 3 Miller By 2nd Lt Remington Sawade | PETERSON-SCHRIEVER GARRISON PUBLIC AFFAIRS PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. ­ He didn’t know he would be a part — of history as one of the first Space Force Guardians to go on deployment, but as it often happens, life shook things up, sending U.S. Space Force Spc. 3 Jason Miller, Space Delta 3 – Space Electronic Warfare, 16th Space Control Squadron space console operator, down a groundbreaking path.

The trend continued when Miller was accepted to become a cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Hailing from Cloverdale, Indiana, a small town outside of Indianapolis, Miller began talking to his local recruiter with the intentions of becoming an air traffic controller. Due to long wait times for an air traffic control job to open up, the recruiter suggested taking a job as a 1C6 Space Systems Operator, describing it as an air traffic controller for space vehicles.

Miller took advantage of the opportunity and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in January 2019.

Following basic military training and technical training, Miller joined the 16th SPCS working a vital job in support of the DEL 3 mission.

“My job entails monitoring and reporting on blue signals such as Remotely Piloted Aircraft, non-secure military terminals and any other signal assets in deployed locations,” said Miller.

Miller was able to put those skills to use while deployed to U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in support of Operation Freedom Sentinel and Operation Inherent Resolve, from July 2020 to February 2021.

Miller’s commander, U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Angelo Fernandez, praised Miller’s work ethic and accomplishments

during his deployment.

“While deployed to the Middle East, Specialist Miller thrived in a high tempo operations environment and, with his crew, ended up tackling the largest wave of non-kinetic warfare activity our unit has seen in over 15 years of continuous deployments,” said Fernandez.

In September 2020 Miller officially transitioned to the USSF, becoming one of the first Guardians to operate in a deployed environment.

Miller saw first-hand the exciting paths a career in the military could provide and began seeking mentorship on how

to achieve his goals.

“Within my first year I knew I wanted to make a career in the military and after talking to all my mentors almost all said commissioning is a great opportunity,” said Miller. “While deployed, I found out my deployment commander was an academy liaison officer, and he showed me the steps to apply.”

Miller’s hard work paid off with his acceptance to the U.S. Air Force Academy.

He said he is looking forward to the leadership experiences and friendships the See Miller page 10

Air Force makes more rights available for housing tenants Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center Public Affairs

(U.S. Air Force graphic)

The Department of the Air Force is implementing the remaining four rights for housing tenants, including a universal lease, a process to resolve disputes with property owners and procedures for withholding rent when applicable.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas — The Department of the Air Force is implementing the remaining four rights for housing tenants, including a universal lease, a process to resolve disputes with property owners and procedures for withholding rent when applicable.

The Department of Defense issued policy guidance in February 2021 on the implementation and timing of the remaining four provisions of the Tenant Bill of Rights, which expands protection measures for military families living in privatized housing. Along with the universal lease and dispute resolution process, the Tenant Bill of Rights ensures access to unit maintenance history, and establishes a process to withhold rent payment while in formal dispute resolution.

With a few exceptions, the Air Force expects all 18 tenant rights to be available to tenants in all Air

Force and Space Force housing programs by the end of Fiscal Year 2021.

The expanded rights protect tenants and offer recourse if their housing concerns are not adequately addressed, said Col. Sara Deaver, Air Force Civil Engineer Center Housing Division chief.

“Empowering tenants and amplifying their voice is at the heart of the department’s comprehensive plan to improve the privatized housing program,” Deaver said. “The Tenant Bill of Rights is our assurance to our Air Force and Space Force families that we recognize their rights and their needs as tenants, and that those needs are our top priority.”

The universal lease standardizes the general contents of the privatized housing lease from installation to installation. The maintenance history provision grants prospective and existing tenants seven years

of available maintenance history before a prospective tenant is asked to sign a lease or within five business days of an existing tenant’s request.

The formal dispute resolution process creates a structure for tenants to pursue disputes with project owners, and the rent withhold clause allows service members to withhold their housing allowance in certain instances while the dispute is being resolved.

If tenants feel their rights are not being met, they should start by communicating the issue directly to the landlord, said Yvonne Brabham, Air Force Housing Division technical director.

“Solving problems at the lowest level typically yield the quickest results,” Brabham said. “If the landlord hasn’t resolved the issue after a follow-up call, they See Housing page 10

The New Boston Air Force Station, home to the 23d Space Operations Squadron, has been renamed to better reflect its role in the U.S. Space Force. Following a ceremony held July 12, 2021, it is now known as New Boston Space Force Station.

SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The New Boston Air Force Station, home to the 23d Space Operations Squadron, has been renamed to better reflect its role in the U.S. Space Force.

Following the renaming ceremony on July 12, 2021, it is now known as New Boston Space Force Station. The station is located approximately 10 miles west of Manchester, New Hampshire.

“This is an exciting and historic time to be part of the space mission,” said Master Sgt. Kyle Duley, 23d Space Operations Squadron superintendent.

“The launch of the U.S. Space Force propels us into a new era, where the sky is no longer the limit, and New Boston Space Force Station is proud to be a part of that history and vital mission.” Col. Roy Rockwell, Space Delta 6 commander, presided over the ceremony.

A change of command was also held, during which USAF Lt. Col. Daniel Highlander relinquished command to USSF Lt. Col. David Zesinger. The change of command ceremony is a time-honored military tradition in which the subordinate members of the command witness the transfer of responsibility, authority and accountability from one officer to another. Col. Roy Rockwell, Space Delta 6 commander, presided over the change of command ceremony.

The 23d Space Operations Squadron has been operational for more than 60 years. Part of U.S. Space Force Delta 6 – Space Access & Cyberspace Operations, headquartered at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, the 23d SOPS is part of a crucial network of sites operating 24 hours per day, providing critical satellite command and control capability to more than 190 Department of Defense, national and civilian satellites performing intelligence, weather, navigation, early-warning and communications operations.

New Boston SFS is operated by the Peterson-Schriever Garrison in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which provides mission support to six installations and more than 18,000 military and civilian personnel, as well as numerous U.S. Space Force missions around the globe.

Stewart Road repair project Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A three-phase, half-million dollar paving project will commence midJuly bringing a safer and smoother driving experience to those who frequent the east side of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

Those who work and visit Peterson East and who access or depart the East Gate will be most affected during the approximately 60-day project, but all Peterson AFB patrons should be aware of possible traffic impacts across the installation.

The East Gate will remain open, both for entrance and exit, throughout the paving project. Traffic flow to and from Peterson East will also remain open, although delays may occur.

Each phase is projected to be two weeks in duration and construction. Phase 1 will impact Stewart Avenue, near base housing, from Langley Street to the East Gate intersection at the end of the civilian runway. Phase 2 will impact the East Gate from the end of the civilian runway to security access road near Marksheffel. Phase 3 will be a continuation of the paving ending before the old East Gate.

The traffic plan will involve single lane traffic, flagging personnel and automated mobile traffic lights to ensure continued traffic flow to the east side of the installation.

Around the installation there will be an increase in heavy construction trucks hauling asphalt, so be mindful of construction vehicles and the freshly laid tar. Weather and building materials could affect the duration of this plan, but the project is expected to be completed by mid-September.

Please contact the Peterson AFB Civil Engineer Customer Service Flight at (719) 556-4030 with questions or concerns.

A paving project will commence in order to bring a safer and smoother driving experience to those who frequent the east side of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, in mid-July. The project will take place in three phases, projected to last around two weeks each.

should escalate the issue to their military housing office.”

If the military housing office and other resources, like resident advocates, are unable to resolve the issue, the MHO can escalate the issue within both the military chain of command and the landlord’s management structure. If tenants feel the issue is not being resolved at the local level, they can contact the Air Force housing section’s toll-free hotline at 800-482-6431 and AFCEC will investigate the problem.

As the Department of the Air Force’s housing program managers, AFCEC plays a central role in ensuring tenants are able to execute the rights outlined in the bill. Since 2019, program leaders have been executing an improvement plan consisting of 51 housing initiatives aimed at ensuring Airmen, Guardians and

their families have access to safe, healthy housing.

“We’ve worked hard to overhaul the housing program to rectify shortfalls and strengthen our commitment to Airmen, Guardians and families,” Brabham said. “Today’s program has more oversight and leadership involvement, clear policies, better communication and puts more power in tenants’ hands.”

“With policy guidance now in place for the final four rights, the department is closing in on the finish line to fully implement all 51 improvement actions enterprise-wide,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations Robert Moriarty.

“We’ve implemented all measures at most of our installations and are working with those project owners to create state-specific addenda to ensure the final rights comply with state and local law,” Moriarty said.

The Air Force is continuing to work with project owners to obtain agreements on the final provisions at the remaining installations and, with few exceptions, expect those rights to be accessible for all tenants across the Department of the Air Force by October.

thing back to the Pikes Peak Region that has welcomed them over the past few weeks.

“The whole team was keen to repay the warm welcome and hospitality we have received by contributing back to the Colorado community,” said Royal Air Force Wing Commander Ben Sharp, U.K. team commander.

After one of the UK team members attended a local church, they offered their support in a Bunkbed Build Day, which helps meet the practical needs of disadvantaged families in the community.

The volunteers helped prepare the furniture by sawing, drilling, sanding and staining wood.

“It’s always great to have new volunteers to help build beds,” said Luke Wrobleski, workshop director. “I am so grateful we had the opportunity to host the U.K. Space Command team for this build day. We are always looking for more people who are willing to give a few hours of their time to help make sure kids feel seen, known and loved by providing a new bed for them.”

Collaboration with allies and partners is key to U.K. Space Command’s effort—seeking ways to improve the U.K.’s cooperation, coordination and interoperability opportunities in space. The command’s main effort is to ensure a safe, secure and stable space domain and it is continuing the U.K.’s commitment to the Combined Space Operations initiative which comprises of seven nations (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S.) “Given the United Kingdom and United States work so closely together in many different areas, including on our mutual interests in space, it has been wonderful to extend that partnership in a practical way that will substantially improve the lives of local families,” Sharp said.

U.S. SpOC deepens ties with its allies and partners who share a vision of free, open space domain as partnerships promote coalitions. Partnerships ensure space superiority and competitive advantage by building resilient space architectures that can fight through current and future threats, while also ensuring the U.S. and allies outpace their potential adversaries and strategic competitors.

“I’m lucky to have many academy graduates in my squadron giving me pointers and telling me what to expect before I start life there at the academy,” said Miller.

According to Fernandez, Miller is a dedicated and technically skilled Guardian and shows excellent leadership abilities.
