Meet the wing commander:

21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Although Col. Thomas Falzarano is new to being the 21st Space Wing commander, he has called Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado and even the 21st Space Wing home before. He recently took time to talk with the 21st Space Wing Public Affairs office to share a little bit about himself, his priorities and his goals for his time as wing commander.

PA: So can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Falzarano: I’ve been in Colorado Springs on and off for almost 30 years, and I have my 25th reunion at the Air Force Academy coming up at the end of October. I’ve been fortunate to be around the space mission for about 23 years now and have gotten to see Airmen at bases around the world.

It’s been exciting to see throughout my career how everything has grown and advanced from when I was a lieutenant to where we are now.

Peterson feels like home. All of my children have lived on Peterson during their life in either one, two or three houses. This is a great community with amazing people here on the Front Range.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Thomas Falzarano, 21st Space Wing commander, poses for a photo Aug. 15, 2019 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Falzarano took command of the wing in May and has focused on sustainability, building relationships and strengthening the culture since his arrival.

PA: What are your priorities while you’re in command here?

Falzarano: The first priority that I’ve been doing over the course of the first month is talking to all of our Airmen, as well as their squadron commanders, group commanders and first sergeants to figure out what Airmen are seeing and experiencing, what their needs and requirements are and whether or not we’re hitting the mark on their expectations. Whether we adopt them as the priorities or not, I think there are three items we need to focus on – sustainability, building relationships and strengthening the culture.

There’s a lot of growth on the base. We’re standing up a new operations group, organizations around base are wanting to grow and our Airmen are asked to do more. So the first thing is to make sure we’re sustainable all the way from the organizational level across to our individual Airmen and that we have something that’s going to last…that our Airmen are built to last.

The second area we’re going to focus on is relationships. On a really bad day, having close relationships See Col. Thomas Falzarano page 6

Peterson Airmen save life

By Staff Sgt. Alexandra M. Longfellow | 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— In the beginning of August, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein ordered all wings to stand down for a day and focus on resiliency and suicide prevention due to the alarming increase of suicide rates in the U.S. Air Force in 2019.

Eighty-nine Air Force Total Force Airmen had taken their own lives this year.

Two Airmen from the 21st Operational Medical Readiness Squadron dental lab, successfully responded to a friend from another Air Force base with suicidal thoughts.

August 7, 2019 was a normal day for Airman 1st Class Brittany Wright. She was planning on going to bed early that night when she answered a phone call from a friend she met in technical school.

“It wasn’t unusual he was calling to talk,” Wright said. “But after about an hour he said something I never thought I would ever hear.”

Wright said she was shocked to hear her friend say that he didn’t want to live anymore.

She knew she had to do something, and do it quickly. While still talking on the phone with her friend, she messaged her co-worker and friend for help at 8:54 p.m.

“I didn’t know exactly what to do either,” said Duffus. “I didn’t know who he was or who I should call but I picked up the phone and got in contact with my first sergeant.”

Duffus immediately called her first sergeant and worked with Wright to get as many details as possible about the Airman.

She was able to provide Master Sgt. Jonathan Eckley, 21st Medical Group first sergeant, with the Airman’s name and career field to speed up the process of getting in touch with the Airman’s first sergeant through the base’s command post.

COMMANDER’S CORNER

The light switch effect

By Col. Kirsten G. Aguilar | 21ST MISSION SUPPORT GROUP PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — “When you walk into a room and you look at the light switch on the wall, unless you’re an electrician, you really don’t have any idea what’s behind the wall. But every time you flip the switch, the light comes on,” said our former chief of staff, retired Gen. Mark Welsh, at a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Every day, people across Peterson Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station walk into a room and flip the light switch trusting the lights will turn on without issue. Things happen at the flip of a switch because of the Airmen in the 21st Mission Support Group.

We are firefighters, childcare providers, supply technicians, contract specialists, chefs and so much more. We come to work every day and take care of our mission, delivering support to you, the warfighter, so you can take care of your mission. While we make sure the lights turn on literally and figuratively, there is so much more we do. Allow me to introduce you to just a few of the Airmen behind the wall.

Mr. Andrew Peters and the 21st Civil Engineer Squadron’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and energy monitoring and control systems team are on the front lines monitoring and responding to all aspects of our aging and often-finicky HVAC systems. The average customer may not know what Mr. Peters and the team do without anyone having to call the CE customer service line. Base EMCS networks monitor and notify technicians of issues with the HVAC systems on Peterson 24/7, typically before customers even know there is an issue. In mild weather, EMCS issues about 10-20 notifications a day to Mr. Peters and the team. In extreme temperatures, they respond to as many as 50 alarms every day, at all hours, behind the scenes, quietly ensuring base missions continue. Yes, our base infrastructure is aging and in need of an upgrade, but thanks to Mr. Peters and his team, we are able to sustain our buildings and keep the many

missions supported by the 21st Space Wing functioning.

If you think our defenders are just operating the gates and checking your ID cards, allow me to enlighten you, because our defenders do so much more. From the daunting task of clearing all commercial vehicles that enter base, to monitoring the more than 1,000 alarms in CMAFS, to patrolling the streets of Peterson AFB, our defenders are always on watch ensuring our installations stay secure.

Defenders like Airman 1st Class Aliah Leon, from Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin who joined the Air Force because she wanted to make a difference, and she’s doing that every day behind the scenes. She’s now on flight, working 12-hour shifts, which really is about 14-hour days after arming up and guard mount. Just a few months ago, she was one of our defenders operating the commercial service vehicle area at the east gate.

Did you know that our defenders utilize explosive detection equipment to search the vehicles for harmful, dangerous and illicit items? In 2018 alone, our team searched over 21,000 vehicles, vetted over 26,000 people, denied access to over 150 vehicles, discovered hefty amounts of narcotics and prevented 51 drivers from entering the base. We can rest easy thanks to the defenders who are our sentinels and protectors.

How many of you think the 21st Force Support Squadron is just the military personnel flight, fitness center, dining

facility, and The Club? Trust me, there’s way more than just that! If you have been selected for a military formal training course, it’s likely you’ve met Mr. Timothy L. Keck, a 16year 21st Space Wing veteran. Mr. Keck is laser focused on getting his customers to school with no processing issues.

Many of his customers are separating or retiring, and he ensures their DD Form 214s accurately reflect their military training history.

He often stays late to work issues that are sometimes complicated; he uses his network, a network that’s been built over many years, to ensure things are done right. Mr. Keck doesn’t come to work every day looking for gratitude or thanks. He finds satisfaction in knowing he’s done all he can for our Airmen so they can focus on their mission. In his 16 years at Peterson, he’s assisted 16,750 warfighters in attending formal training. We need civilian Airmen like Mr. Keck to work behind the scenes, with no expectation of recognition, to ensure our Air Force mission gets done.

Don’t forget our cyber sentinels at CMAFS working 24/7 in the mission systems center or serving on our cyber defense team. These cyber professionals are hard at work ensuring the no-fail integrated tactical warning/attack assessment mission, which provides accurate, timely and unambiguous warning and attack assessment of air, missile and space threats, is

We come to work every day and take care of our mission, delivering support to you, the warfighter, so you can take care of your mission.

21st SW members volunteer on mission trip to Jamaica

By Staff Sgt. Danny Pallicer | 21ST SPACE WING CHAPEL

(U.S. Air Force courtesy photo)

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Members of the 21st Space Wing paint the interior of a building during a 21st Space Wing Chapel-sponsored mission trip to Jamaica July 30-Aug. 6, 2019. During the trip, wing members renovated a church and built relationships with the local community.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Peterson Air Force Base Chapel sponsored a mission trip to Jamaica, July 30 – Aug. 6, 2019, led by Lt. Col. William Spencer, 21st Space Wing chaplain. On the trip, we had a total of 13 people volunteer to go, 11 were active duty Airmen, spanning across eight different Air Force specialty codes, including civil engineer squadron, finance, religious affairs, public health, travel management office and cyber security. Our goal on this mission trip was to make some renovations and repairs on the Worthington Friends Church in downtown Kingston, Jamaica.

At the start of our trip, we landed in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and from there, we took a three-hour trip to Kingston, Jamaica by tour bus that was owned by Worthington Friends Church. On the way, I noticed that most of Jamaica seemed poverty stricken aside from the various and isolated resorts along the coast.

There was an incredible amount of homelessness we observed, as well as worn out or ruined infrastructure and unfinished buildings that looked like they had been abandoned mid-construction. Our group on the bus discussed how we had no idea of the disarray that Jamaica was in because American tourism ads notably leave that part out. I personally compared it to conditions I had only seen while deployed as a security forces troop in Afghanistan and Jordan.

After we arrived and got settled in at the church, we began our three-day-long renovations part of the mission trip. Our team would start every morning with breakfast made by a team of Jamaican locals who were church volunteers. Once breakfast ended, we started work on the church annex. We primed, painted, caulked windows, did light carpentry, repaired concrete, and set up frames. A lot of us had no prior experience doing any kind of construction, but we each found something we were good at and completed our task as a team. All of this was done so the church could not only use this annex as a place to house other mission teams in the future, but also as a source of revenue by standing the annex up as a house for rent.

Each day ended with dinner made again by the locals. The food was incredible, and meals really felt like an authentic experience. We had fresh juices, barbecue chicken, stews, Jamaican slaw, and plenty of rice

and beans. After dinner, we would get together and conclude with a devotional led by Chaplain Spencer.

He would provide an incredible spiritual insight on the day and tie it in with the difficulties we may have encountered. Finally, we would retire to our living quarters for the day. The women stayed in the pastor’s house, and the men stayed in a church classroom that was made into living quarters for our stay. Although we lived separately, we experienced close to the same living conditions. Jamaica is understandably humid, and most of us were not acclimated to it. We had no air conditioning, but we had a multitude of fans to circulate air, and since all the windows stayed open, most of us used sheets as our only covering to prevent being bitten by mosquitos.

On the Sunday before we left to explore the island, Chaplain Spencer preached the message at morning worship service. It seemed very well received, and the locals never took their eyes off of him for the entirety of the service. After that, we all said goodbye to the locals who graciously served us and left for the hotel we stayed at in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The day after we arrived in Ocho Rios, we started our day of fun, exploring Dunn’s River Falls, snorkeling in the ocean, being typical tourists and purchasing souvenirs to take home because our journey was coming to an end.

As for my personal take-away from the trip, I can say that I was remarkably humbled by the experience.

I had no idea of the poor conditions in Jamaica, but it made me realize yet again everything we take for granted, and it allowed me to appreciate it much more when I got back. The work we did, although difficult, was so rewarding. I would constantly tell others on the team how much I enjoyed breaking up the monotony of my usual routine of sitting at a desk all day. Hands down the biggest takeaway from the trip for me was the friends I made in the fellow Airmen I volunteered with. By the end of the trip, we were more like a family. Building those relationships is what I will forever remember and cherish most about the trip. Lastly, although we witnessed so much hardship from the people of Jamaica, I have never met a group of people so welcoming, caring and hospitable than the Jamaican people. It was an honor to do impactful work in their community.

Developmental special duties offer Airmen fresh perspective

By Heather Heiney | 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — After basic military training and technical school the work an Airman does day-to-day becomes their primary focus for years.

Completing an enlisted developmental special duty gives Airmen the opportunity to step away from their career field for a period of time and get a fresh perspective on the bigger Air Force picture.

Staff Sgt. Megan Luscier, 21st Medical Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of instrument processing at Schriever Air Force Base, and Staff Sgt. Amanda Scarpino, NCOIC of preventive dentistry at the 21st Medical Group dental clinic on Peterson AFB, will soon have the opportunity to attain that fresh perspective when they begin their DSD assignments as instructors at the Peterson AFB Airman Leadership School.

“I wanted to apply for a special duty because I’ve been in my career for so long. I’ve almost hit ten years this summer, so I’m kind of at that point where I want to step out and do a little more,” Luscier said. “I do plan on retiring so I want to do a little more for the big Air Force picture.”

Scarpino said that she wanted to apply for a DSD because she really enjoys mentoring Airmen and she wanted to step outside of her career field and do something different.

“As much as I love cleaning teeth, and I really do, you don’t get a whole lot of leadership opportunities,” Scarpino said. “You’re pretty much stuck to your chair and this is going to give me a chance to really get those interpersonal communication and leadership skills.”

The Air Force currently has 10 special duties that have been identified as enlisted DSD positions due to their unique leadership roles and the Airman’s responsibility to mentor and mold future leaders.

Those DSDs include career assistance advisor, military training instructor, military training leader, U.S. Air Force Academy military training NCO, Airman and Family Readiness Center NCO, first sergeant, U.S. Air Force Honor Guard, Airman dorm leader, enlisted accessions recruiter and professional military education instructor.

According to the Air Force Personnel Center, the Air Force implemented a biannual nomination process in 2017 that allows commanders to nominate their best staff, technical and master sergeants to fill these critical positions. Typically, DSD assignment matching and selection occur between April and September, with start dates between October and May of the following year.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Senior Airman John Gillen, 50th Security Forces Squadron defender and current Airman Leadership School student, hands a clue to ALS instructors during an educational game called Joint Warfighter Amazing Race Aug. 9, 2019 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Enlisted developmental special duties like ALS instructor offer unique leadership roles and give Airmen the opportunity to mentor and mold future leaders.

The first step in the process is the delivery of an eligibility notification letter from AFPC that says an Airman meets the basic requirements and that the nomination window is now open. Once the Airman has been nominated and receives an assignment notification, they are contacted by the appropriate DSD office of primary responsibility with additional instructions. Finally, they must submit a special duty application package no later than 30 days from assignment notification.

Master Sgt. Christopher Waldrip, Peterson ALS commandant, said he thinks DSDs are beneficial to Airmen

because while they’re the technical experts in their field, DSD positions can provide them with a new perspective.

“We get kind of an umbrella over us in our functional area and we get used to operating within that domain,” he said. “Getting the chance to work in a DSD takes Airmen out of their comfort zone a little bit, and exposes them to a whole other aspect of the Air Force.”

TRANSITION SPOTLIGHT Jazmyne Mott

Tandi Zerfoss, right, provides Jazmyne Mott, 19, with pre-interview tips ahead of her first job interview.

Great news this week for the family member of an Army Veteran: Mt. Carmel Career and Transition client Jazmyne Mott landed a lifeguard position at a local hotel popular nationally for family fun!

The 19-year-old will serve as a lifeguard ensuring the safety of guests in a water-park atmosphere. “I’m so excited to be working with kids,” said Jazmyne.

“This has always been a part of my career goals and this feels like a step-up.”

Mt. Carmel Peer Navigator Tandy Zerfoss helped Jazmyne with her job search. The two accomplished a great deal in just days: job interview preparation, resume development, career mentorship, and a tailored job search leading to successful first and second interviews with Jazmyne’s new employer.

“I was anxious walking into that second interview; I knew I had to present myself as being highly-qualified,” said Jazmyne. “by meeting someone inperson for an interview, I felt I had a better chance to be successful.”

Prior to working with Mt. Carmel, Jazmyne hadn’t had much luck with her job search. She credits her peer navigator’s support as crucial to her success.

“Tandy knew me and was always helping with a customized job search and she handed me opportunities that worked for me; she knew my career goals and helped me attain them.”

is going to be what carries us through. On a really good day, the relationships are the things that can make it outstanding because you’ve got people to celebrate with, and it’s even better because it’s a family or team accomplishment.

The final thing is strengthening the culture. Not to say that the culture is bad, but we want to make sure that we’re clear in communicating our expectations and that we’re clear in communicating that we have a culture of respect. We value people who take responsibility for their actions, and we value leaders who step up when something didn’t go right and correct it.

We also value leaders who recognize when things go right and people do things that are really, really good. We value people that are ready, that we aren’t cramming for the test as we are getting out the do.

We have an expectation that we do things the right way every day.

PA: Why are Respect, Readiness and Responsibility, your three R’s, so important to you?

Falzarano: I have used the same three R’s since I was a squadron commander.

Everyone wants to know, does the boss have any rules? So I started out by asking myself, what are my red lines? When I look at the core values, they’re great. I don’t know an organization that has a better set of core values, but I think too often what happens is that folks describe them as the goal, but to me, they are the starting point. Respect is at the foundation of that, because once you lose that, then nothing else matters. The readiness part of it amplifies the core values. We want you to be ready at any given minute, not just when you’re scheduled for a PT test or an inspection. And then the responsibility part is making sure we’re properly holding people accountable for not only the things that go wrong, but the good things as well.

PA: What do you personally hope to bring to the wing?

Falzarano: My goal is to make sure that we’re looking at the foundation of what Peterson AFB is and we’re making sure that it’s solid. I want to make sure that, going forward, if there are any cracks,

that we’ve shored them up and we’re turning a path toward sustainability.

If we do it correctly, we’ll know we’re successful two, three and four wing commanders from now, and we’ll set those people up for success.

PA: What would you say is a challenge to that?

Falzarano: I think that the biggest challenge is our resources and being able to articulate precisely what it is that we need in terms of manpower and dollars. The other thing that’s going to be a challenge is the changing environment. There’s a lot going on in the space enterprise right now. The space warfighting domain is changing what we do in space, and we have to look at space differently and look at the people that operate these systems differently.

Everything’s changing and organizations are changing and standing up and some are coming down and that takes a lot of leadership, a lot of expertise from the entire spectrum of people across the entire wing to figure that out. I can’t think of a more exciting place and time to be a new lieutenant or Airman. The opportunities are limitless PA: Do you have any suggested reading?

Falzarano: You can learn from anything, it just depends on where you’re at in your career and what’s applicable to what you’re doing. The one thing I would say is don’t concentrate on any one particular area. There are some phenomenal leaders out across the entire enterprise of successful companies, and there are all sorts of great leadership lessons you can learn. Just pick something up.

That being said, we have a suicide crisis in our Air Force. One book I’d recommend in particular as we fight this war is: Why People Die by Suicide. On the leadership front, I find two books I continually refer to: Good to Great and Longitude. Good to Great offers an outline for highly successful leaders.

Longitude is about innovation and why many times the best ground breaking ideas come from unexpected and unconventional people and places.

Regional Command Post renovates to better execute unique mission

By Griffin Swartzell | 21ST SPACE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Colorado Springs Regional Command Post on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, completed major renovations in May, 2019.

The renovations enable CSRCP staff to operate more efficiently, improving their ability to respond to emergency situations and act as the eyes and ears for five wings across

Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB and the U.S. Air Force Academy.

“It was a joint effort in our office, from the leadership all the way down to the controllers,” said Senior Master Sgt. Lenora Gallegos, superintendent of the CSRCP. “We got their feedback on what would make their jobs easier or more efficient. Then, we gathered all

those ideas and presented them to our thenwing commander, Col. Todd Moore. We had his full support; he said ‘make it happen.’”

The CSRCP provides centralized, responsive command and control of forces, relays command direction, provides mission monitoring, conducts operational reporting, facilitates receipt and dissemination of orders, information

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Colorado Springs Regional Command Post at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, recently completed renovations that will allow controllers to more efficiently execute the CSRCP’s unique mission set. The CSRCP, pictured Aug. 8, 2019, acts as the eyes and ears for 21st Space Wing, 302nd Airlift Wing, 50th Space Wing, 310th Space Wing and 10th Air Base Wing, and responsible to Air Force Reserve Command and Air Force Space Command.

and requests for the 21st Space Wing, 302nd Airlift Wing, 50th Space Wing, 310th Space Wing and 10th Air Base Wing, and responsible to Air Force Reserve Command and Air Force Space Command. They’re also responsible for pushing emergency notifications to the base and surrounding communities. It’s a unique setup — most command posts handle a single base with a single mission.

“People don’t know what we do,” said Gallegos. “They think we just announce weather alerts. But we’re so much more than that.”

In an emergency situation, such as an active shooter on base, the CSRCP is responsible for issuing a lockdown announcement using AtHoc and the giant voice. To improve efficiency, renovations required the removal of a wall that bisected the CSRCP into a linear seating situation and two rooms. Now, there’s one open room in which the senior controller sits behind the junior controllers on shift.

“It's more efficient that way, allowing us to communicate and see each other's consoles to maintain the operational picture,” said Tech Sgt. James Moss, noncommissioned officer in charge of command and control operations training.

The console interface was also renovated to better serve the needs of the people who use it day to day.

“The thing that we are tasked with the most is sending out weather notifications and going on the giant voice for each of the five installations,” said Moss. “So with the new layout, we put the weather warning system right in the middle, as opposed to all the way on the left side of the console.”

CSRCP also has total force integration with the 21st SW and 302nd AW, meaning active duty and reserve citizen Airmen receive equal training and sit side by side in the command post, doing the same mission.

All of this allows the CSRCP to maintain the level of effectiveness required for its Airmen to succeed in their missions.

accomplished every day. Our crews are busy day in, day out correlating data from our ground based radar sites around the world. I’m grateful to our cyber warriors on watch 24/7 in the mission systems center, but there’s plenty more work to be done, and as the Air Force continues to build specialized cyber teams charged with defending critical weapon systems from cyberattacks, I’m glad there are Airmen like 2nd Lt. Derrick Potter at the helm. Potter and his mission defense team are responsible for ensuring the 21st SW weapon systems maintain full mission capable status and are not vulnerable to cyberattacks. So before you click that link for free football tickets and earn that chance to try to defeat Tina, your Cyber Awareness Training office friend, at her own cyber game, remember what Potter and his team of cyber sentinels are doing to keep our networks secure.

Have you ever taken a look at your work center and thought about redesigning it? If so, you’ll need the help of 1st Lt. Blaise Muluh, the contracting infrastructure flight officer in charge. Muluh and his team are responsible for negotiating terms and conditions for base maintenance services and are also responsible for ensuring contract compliance. As a young lieutenant, Muluh is responsible for managing a $42 million contract portfolio that supports the entire Team Pete community. Our contracting professionals do more than just support the 21st SW and our 53 mission partners at Peterson AFB. Did you know we have a six-person contracting detachment in the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen, and that their primary mission is to provide contracting support to Thule Air Base, Greenland?

conference room, make sure to touch base with our contracting team.

Finally, if you’ve been tasked to deploy while at Peterson AFB or CMAFS, you’ve probably met or at least heard of our wing’s installation deployment officer, Mr. Larry Wilkerson. Wilkerson and his team of logistics planners operate Air Force Space Command’s largest installation and deployment readiness cell and coordinate with almost every unit on base to ensure they are correctly reporting and postured to deploy. Once an Airmen or unit is tasked to deploy, Wilkerson and his team expertly coordinate with the unit, U.S. Transportation Command and the combatant commander to physically get personnel and cargo to where the combatant commander needs them. The margin of error is incredibly small, as the combatant commander and the joint staff drive timelines and requirements. Wilkerson and his team of logistics planners ultimately ensure the 21st SW’s deployable units meet these requirements and deliver their deployed capability on time and on target. Their mission truly is a no-fail mission, and they’ve deployed hundreds of Airmen down rage with zero deployment discrepancies, a feat few installations are ever able to achieve.

With almost 2,000 military, civilian and contract Airmen in the 21st MSG, it’s difficult to highlight all we do, but the Team Pete community and the $18 billion command and control complex at CMAFS would not function if it weren’t for these incredible professionals delivering agile combat support each and every day. Although we perform our mission with no expectation of gratitude, I encourage you to make a point to stop and thank a MSG Airmen today.

Space Flag holds first exercise with coalition partners

By Capt. Lauren Hill | AIR FORCE SPACE COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Coalition partners from Australia, Canada, Great Britain and the United States recently participated in a Space Flag exercise for the first time at Aerospace Corporation’s facility here, Aug. 12-16, 2019.

Space Flag 19-3 integrated approximately 160 coalition participants, observers and distinguished guests in Air Force Space Command’s “Fight Tonight” exercise focused on using current capabilities to deter, deny and disrupt adversarial actions in the space domain.

U.S. Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Stephen Wilson and each participating nations’ top space military leaders met with Space Flag personnel to learn more about the exercise and its criticality in training warfighters in the space domain.

“The threat in space is real, and we must train like we fight – alongside our international partners – to maintain space superiority and deter conflict in the space domain,” said Wilson after meeting with Space Flag players.

SF 19-3 brought new challenges and opportunities to learn from coalition partners, who were chosen based on their current positions through existing agreements with the 21st Space Wing, 460th Space Wing and Combined Space Operations Center.

“The coalition forces brought a different perspective that forced everyone to think outside our typical way of doing things as we integrated intelligence in space packages throughout mission planning.” said Tech. Sgt. Sean Johnson, NCO in charge, 20th Space Control Squadron Intelligence Operations. “As we brainstormed response methods, no idea was discounted, which speaks to the professionalism of each player.”

“Being able to participate in the first ever coalition Space Flag was a privilege,” said Royal Australian Air Force Flight Lt. Gene Elliott, Chief of Training, 460th Operations Support Squadron. “It was a great opportunity to bring our perspectives and talents to the fight given Australia’s relative infancy in the warfighting domain of space.”

The senior space representatives agreed SF 19-3 was a critical move to normalize coalition training opportunities with junior and mid-level officers and enlisted members.

“Space Flag is a fantastic opportunity for the U.K. to participate and expand its role in future exercises,” said Royal Air Force Group Capt. Steve Blockley, Director of National Air Defence and Space Operations. “Just as we do for operators in the air, land and sea domains, this is a chance

for our space operators to work alongside Allies and create partnerships that will last throughout their entire careers.”

Royal Canadian Air Force Brig. Gen. Kevin Whale, the Director General and Component Commander for Space, spoke on Canada’s lasting partnership with the U.S. and how he sees Canada’s future participation in Space Flag.

"Canada has a long history of collaboration with the U.S. in space under NORAD and, more recently, the expanding and multinational Combined Space Operations initiative,” said Whale. “Our integrated participation in Space Flag this year is a welcomed evolution of our collaboration that directly contributes to our shared interests in space."

Royal Australian Air Force Air Commodore Robert Denney, Director General for Air Operations, said, “Space Flag is a great opportunity to build-up the space cadre unlike we’ve done before with our Allies.”

U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. DeAnna Burt, HQ AFSPC

Director of Operations and Communications, briefed Space Flag’s plan to expand its cooperation with Allied partners in future exercises amid AFSPC’s broader initiative to include international partners in joint, coalition space education and training opportunities, such as Schriever Space Scholars, AFSPC Weapons and Tactics Conference, Space 300 and Schriever Wargame, among others.

“All operators here understand what warfighting means in the space domain,” said Burt. “They are energized and motivated to continue these friendships and partnerships they’ve built over the course of this exercise, and we must continue building on these types of opportunities for the defense of the space domain.”

Other coalition space opportunities include the following: See Space Flag page 10

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Gen. Stephen Wilson, vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, joins senior space military leaders from the U.S., Australia, Canada and Great Britain, as part of Space Flag’s first exercise with coalition partners, Aug. 16, 2019. Space Flag is an Air Force Space Command-sponsored exercise focused on using current capabilities to deter, deny and disrupt adversarial actions in the space domain. Space Flag is one of many AFSPC efforts to expand its cooperation with Allied partners in joint, coalition space education and training opportunities.

Paragon Culinary School expands into shared space with the Briarhurst Manor Estate

By Matthew Schniper | Colorado Springs Independent Chef/distiller/educator Victor Matthews recently announced an expansion of Paragon Culinary School (paragonculinaryschool.org), which has been based for the last nine years at the local Youth With a Mission headquarters at 505 Popes Bluff Trail, also home to Kairos Coffee House. Though they’ll maintain office space there with some teaching space as well, Matthews says he’s moving several classes in his curriculum to the Briarhurst Manor Estate (404 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, briarhurstdining.com).

To be clear, the Briarhurst will offer shared space and maintain its regular dinner and event programming, but Matthews says he’s taking advantage of times during the weekdays when the Briarhurst’s kitchen was sitting idle. Plus, he says, “This place matches our overview philosophically — the training we do, the history of the culinary arts, how we do the master chef training, Escoffier, old-school stuff.”

He’s referring to the regal Victorian manor house, originally built by the founder of Manitou Springs in 1876, that has been converted to a big banquet space and an intimate restaurant. He and the Briarhurst’s owners have discussed mutually beneficial overlaps, he says, including training for their staff via Paragon classes as well as a chance for his students to “jump in and help out if we can — all work together — eventually on my dream list is a students’ night where they could do chef’s tables and pair wines, etc.”

Behind all of this though, is a need to grow and expand, says Matthews. “I’ve never seen a boom like this anywhere I’ve been, or here the last 15 years,” he says. Not only is Paragon working with several school districts through the Pikes Peak Business & Education Alliance, trying to help prep high school students for potential culinary careers and immediate jobs, but Matthews says he could place 40 to 50 people in work now based on queries he’s gotten but can’t fill. He says many of his students (35 or so at present) are already working two jobs in the field. And he and people he’s consulted with believe in the next few years as the Springs continues to grow, upwards of 1,000 kitchen jobs will need filling based on both hotel and restaurant growth.

He’d like to grow Paragon’s student body so the Springs doesn’t have to outsource: “I want good jobs for people here. No matter what I do, I can’t train 1,000, but maybe I can do 200 or 300 and hopefully others will plug in.”

Lifesavers FROM PAGE 11

To explain how both the Airmen and first sergeant were feeling, Eckley gave the analogy of a duck swimming on a pond.

“Calm on the surface, but paddling like crazy below,” Eckley said. “This was new to all of us, but we all have been through training to get the help this Airman needed.”

Eckley was able to get in contact with the endangered Airman’s first sergeant within minutes.

The Airman’s first sergeant immediately responded and went to the Airman’s dorm room with his supervisor and security forces members. During this time, Wright was able to keep her friend talking on the phone to prevent him from having a chance to take his own life. His first sergeant and the defenders knocked on his door at 9:31 p.m.

“The Air Force focuses on resiliency more and more each year,” Eckley said.

“We have produced effective training several times a year. Wright and Duffus are a strong example of this. The training they receive in their short time in the service was so ingrained in themselves they didn’t even realize they were using the provided training.”

Without even realizing it, Wright and Duffus used ACE to help Wright’s friend.

ACE — ask, care, escort — is a resiliency tool used to prevent and respond to the

crisis of suicide. Wright specifically asked her friend if he was going to hurt himself.

She was able to continue to keep him talking on the phone while she enlisted help to get to him. Although she herself wasn’t able to escort him, she got the help he needed to be escorted properly.

General John W. “Jay” Raymond, Air Force Space Command and Joint Force Space Component commander, presented Wright and Duffus the Air Force Achievement Medal. It is awarded to Air Force personnel for outstanding achievement or meritorious service rendered specifically on behalf of the Air Force.

Both Airmen were also asked to attend the Air Force Association National Convention in Washington, D.C. in September. The convention connects brave Airmen who commit their lives to protect the greater good of the United States. It promotes a dominant Air Force and a strong national defense, and it honors Airmen and the Air Force heritage.

Anyone who is having suicidal thoughts and need help, there are several options available to talk to someone including family advocacy at 719-556-8943, Civilian Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-222-0364, Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention Program and mental health at 719-556-7804, or the chaplain corps at 719-556-4442.
