Moore sets his agenda in first Commander’s Call By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, relayed his priorities for the wing during his first commander’s call July 20, 2017 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Moore assumed command on July 11, 2017. Moore started the call by showing a picture of the Normandy beach cemetery in France where more than 9,000 U.S. service members are buried, saying the preparedness and readiness of the 21st SW is crucial to prevent the need for such a place. His priorities reflected that statement. One of his first major priorities is always driving to accomplish the mission through discipline and training. “Don’t be afraid to do hard things to make the mission better or to take care of each other. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes,” Moore said. “You learn from them.” His words reflected the recent opinion of Gen. John Hyten, U.S. Strategic Command commander, quoted in National Defense Magazine in June. Hyten took issue with an overly cautious approach to modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Another high priority for the new commander is Airmen and family wellness. “You need to be able to spin down,” Moore said. “Work will always be there. You are not a machine, your wellness helps us get the mission done.” See Priorities page 7

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 21st Medical Group, along with the 302nd Airlift Wing, conducted joint training with Airmen from the U.S. Air Force Academy and Schriever Air Force Base to show proper loading and unloading procedures for casualties on a C-130 Hercules aircraft, July 14, 2017 at Peterson AFB, Colorado. 21 MDG plans to hold these training exercises every two to three months.
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 21st Medical Group, along with the 302nd Airlift Wing, Air Force Reserve, conducted joint training with Airmen from the U.S. Air Force Academy and Schriever Air Force Base to show proper loading and unloading procedures for casualties on a C-130 Hercules aircraft, July 14, 2017 at Peterson AFB, Colorado. The 21st MDG is responsible for transporting injured Airmen to areas where they can receive further medical care. They assist service members who have been injured, and they can also fly on humanitarian missions. “Airmen checked patients before being loaded, and prepared a C-130 aircraft to transport them. While in flight, medical personnel can respond to medical situations that may arise until their patients reach the next level of care,” said Maj. La Rita Abel, 21 MDG education and training chief. “Knowing how to on-load and off-load patients is important for when we go down downrange. The aircraft is different but the principles are the same.” Patients were stacked five high in litters, or cots, depending on their conditions. The top litter is for most seriously injured with the lesser See Transporting page 8

Fight’s On!!
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE. Colo. — Becoming the commander of the 21st Operations Group was a seminal moment in my career. There is no other Group in the Air Force I could have asked to command. The mission of the 21 OG is to execute combat-relevant space superiority capabilities to secure space for our nation and Allies. As Commander, my goal is to ensure the group is prepared for a fight that is not just coming in space, but is already here — today! The beginning of that preparation is executing Space Mission Force (SMF). SMF is how we as a space organization present forces to Combatant Commanders for execution and train for our mission. There are some who would argue that SMF is the space community trying to mimic and be like the air breathing community. My toned down response to that is, “negative” this is the space
Col. Devin R. Pepper 21st Operations Group commander community integrating and adapting the lessons learned from other warfighting communities in order to present our capability to Combatant Commanders as an integrated fighting force. As a former operations group commander once said, “this is the Air Force, not IBM.” We kill people and break things… this is what we do, so we must embrace a warfighting mentality and culture if we want
to win the fight that is at our door step. Our adversaries have already threatened our dominance in space, therefore, we must be ready to respond to this threat. So what do we have to do to win this fight? First, as I’ve already mentioned, we must embrace SMF and ensure we are ready to fight tonight! Second, as space warriors, we have to be proficient in our weapon systems (and in the 21 OG, we operate 15 of them). Our national leaders and allies count on us being good at what we do, even if we have to fight through a contested, degraded operational environment. Many of our weapon systems provide the critical “sensing” function of our nation’s nuclear command, control and communications system and our national leaders insist on our ability to do our jobs and do them successfully!
Action Line The 21st Space Wing maintains a commander's action line, a direct link to the 21st Space Wing commander. The wing commander encourages its use. Concerns should be addressed at the lowest possible level in the chain of command and elevated as necessary.
Third, we have to be good wingmen to and for each other. We have an obligation to take care of and fight for the person next to us. We do this by treating each other with basic human respect and dignity (as you would want to be treated). Anything less than this is not compatible with Air Force service, affects readiness and our ability to defeat our adversaries ensuring security of the ultimate high ground. Finally, as a space warfighting community, we must be ready to accept change which is coming faster than anyone realized (and some change may be forced upon us). How quickly we embrace and adapt to this change will determine our success as a community on being able to prosecute a war that extends or starts in space. This is a great time to be a space warrior! Fight’s on!

Tinseltown comes to the mountain

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. —A group of Hollywood executives visit Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colo., for a tour of the complex, July 18, 2017. The tour was conducted as part of an outreach program to Hollywood screenwriters, producers and directors in an effort to give Hollywood an inside look into the Air Force space mission and ensure that any projects they produce can be represented accurately. By Steve Kotecki 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. — A group of about 40 Hollywood screen writers, producers and directors visited Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado, and were given a tour of the facility, July 18, 2017, to get a better sense of military life. The visit to Cheyenne Mountain AFS was part of a threeday tour of Air Force space assets designed to show entertainment industry notables the space mission of the Air Force. The tour included a visit with the 50th Space Wing at Schreiver Air Force Base, Colorado and to meet with members of the 13th Air Support Operation Squadron at Fort Carson, Colorado.
The tour was then taken through CMAFS where they were educated on its construction, history, and saw firsthand how the complex maintains vigilance through their workings inside of America’s fortress. The tour was coordinated through the Air Force Entertainment Liaison Office to give members of the entertainment industry a look inside how the Air Force operates and what makes the Air Force unique amongst the service branches. Tours like this are designed to get Hollywood excited to tell the Air Force story and also ensure that our story is told accurately. “With an increasingly wide civil-military gap in our country, the Air Force’s relationship with storytellers is vitally important in fostering public understanding of our service and what we do,” said 1st Lt. Travis Schirner, Air Force
Entertainment Liaison Office project officer. “Trips like these open the eyes of culture-defining individuals and assist in their efforts to provide authentic depictions of our Airman.” Although they weren’t shown the Stargate they did have stops at the gym, chapel, generator room, and the underground lake, the tour was even able to see and touch the blast doors that keep the complex safe from enemy strikes. Some of the other things the tour found interesting was the command board posted at the entrance of the entry control point, and the force protection condition codes that are posted in various locations. After seeing Cheyenne Mountain up close and personal members of the tour said they were excited to figure out how they could work the mission of Air Force Space Command into upcoming projects.

Motorcycle Safety Commentary by Lt. Col. Eric Wilson 21st Space Wing Safety Office
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Front Range Personnel, As we approach the weekend and continue to enjoy beautiful Colorado weather, I ask you to take a moment and think about motorcycle safety. This applies to everyone whether you ride or not. According to Colorado Department of Transportation, 125 motorcyclist deaths occurred in Colorado in 2016 which is up from
106 in 2015. This year to date Colorado has reported 48 deaths with the prime riding season still ahead. CDOT attributes this spike in fatalities to what they call an “epidemic of distracted drivers.” Enough with the statistics. Bottom line is that if you ride a motorcycle and are involved in an accident (regardless of fault) odds are you will get the worst of it. Please be safe and ride defensively. For those in automobiles please be aware of your fellow motorists and actively look for motorcycle riders...that extra glance could save a life.

386 PERSCO team sustains deployed force across AFCENT AOR By Tech. Sgt. Jonathan Hehnly 386th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
SOUTHWEST ASIA — Providing 100% accountability of personnel spread across more than 70 geographical locations throughout the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility at any given time is no small feat. The complexity of that task only increases when there is an influx of personnel coming into theater to replace the individuals getting ready to go home. Servicing the busiest aerial port of debarkation in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, the eleven Airmen assigned to the 386th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron Personnel Support for Contingency Operations team work around the clock to ensure total force accountability of every U.S. military member, coalition partner, Department of Defense contractor and civilian assigned to the base or forward deploying to another location in the U.S. CENTCOM AOR. “Some people might think that we are just responsible for the place that we are at, but we are responsible for people that we don’t see, we are responsible for people that we’ll see one time coming through here, so that presents a perplexity of its own,” said Master Sgt. Kristal Coleman, the 386th EFSS PERSCO team chief. “On top of that, there comes a point where there is an influx of individuals leaving and arriving at the same time. Sometimes it doesn’t line up perfectly where however many that are out, are the same amount that are in, so for us it just heightens our scope of responsibility for how many people we have coming through here.” The 386th EFSS PERSCO team’s responsibility covers a wide range of areas throughout the AOR, and as the fight changes, so does their area of responsibility. No one comes or goes without the PERSCO team’s stamp of approval. “As a member of the personnel support for contingency operations team, I am a part of the first and last group our members see, so I take a great sense of pride in ensuring that all of our troops are accounted for and their records are kept correct and compliant with AFCENT guidelines,” said Staff Sgt. Beatriz Zapien, a personnelist assigned to the 386th EFSS PERSCO sustainment team. “I help members in

Air Force announces significant changes to Aviation Bonus Program Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — As part of its retention efforts, the Air Force released details on the fiscal year 2017 Aviation Bonus Program (AvB) June 5, 2017. This year’s program implements an increase in maximum bonus amounts authorized in the fiscal 2017 National Defense Authorization Act in addition to more flexibility in contract lengths. The program, combined with additional non-monetary initiatives, is part of a holistic approach to improve readiness and capacity by increasing retention of experienced aviators. “We hope this new approach will make it easier for more Airmen to stay in the service,” said Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson. “The country needs them.” This year Congress authorized the Air Force to increase the annual AvB cap from $25,000 per year to $35,000 per year and has mandated that bonus amounts be based on a business case analysis to determine greatest need and appropriate monetary amounts. “Actual bonus levels were determined by considering current and projected manning, current and projected retention levels, replacement training costs, and replacement training time,” said Lt. Gen. Gina Grosso, the Air Force manpower,
personnel and services deputy chief of staff, “These are the same factors used to determine bonus needs across the Air Force, such as selective re-enlistment bonuses and critical skills retention bonuses.” Additionally, the fiscal 2017 AvB contract options include one-year, two-year, and five-year options for all eligible 11X aviators, with the amounts tiered by the most critical needs. Bomber, special ops, and mobility pilots have a nine-year contract option while fighter pilots have nine-year and 24 years of aviation service (13-year maximum) options. RPA pilots, along with combat systems operators from various flying communities, are eligible for five-year contracts at varying amounts, tiered by critical needs. The Air Force’s strategy to mitigate the pilot shortage consists of non-monetary and monetary initiatives in three main areas: production of pilots, reducing demand/need for pilots in non-flying positions, and increasing pilot retention. Some of the non-monetary initiatives include reducing the demand signal for non-flying assignments, headquarters staff positions and developmental opportunities; creating flexible options for developmental assignments that will reduce involuntary separations and provide flexibility for Airmen and families; reductions in additional duties; ad-
dition of contracted administrative support in operational units and more hands-on consultation with base leadership when choosing who will fill various assignments. The Air Force is also looking at additional monetary incentives for aviation, especially those targeted at mid-career aviators. The fiscal 2017 NDAA provided authorization to increase Aviation Incentive Pay, commonly known as monthly flight pay, which the service plans to increase this summer. “One of my favorite quotes comes from Gen. Hap Arnold during the worst days of the daylight bombing campaign in Europe,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein. “He said ‘the problem with airpower is we make it look too easy.’” “While history doesn’t always repeat...it often rhymes,” he said. “Defending the homeland, owning the high ground and projecting power with our allies abroad takes skilled and professional pilots who make the incredibly hard look easy. I appreciate the support from Congress to offer our pilot force increased compensation for them and their families who serve beside them.” For complete eligibility requirements and application instructions, visit the myPers website at https://mypers.af.mil and enter “aviation bonus program” in the search window.

Priorities From page 1

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, conducted his first commander’s call in the auditorium at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., July 21, 2017. Moore assumed command of the wing July 11.
Deployed From page 5 with home station military personnel flights in order to ensure deployed forces are sustained. The PERSCO team has two major sections. The first section sustains personnel actions, such as emergency leave, promotions, casualties, reenlistments and waivers. The second is the deliberate crisis action planning and execution section that ensures everyone is in the right
Strength is important to wellness he said, but not just physical strength. “A huge sign of strength is knowing when to ‘cry uncle,’” said Moore. “(It’s) knowing when to ask for help. It’s knowing when you are exhausted, too.” Squadrons are also a priority item for Moore. Squadrons set and maintain standards, he said, so leaders and members of the squadron are expected to so the same. “Don’t stop thinking about how to do it differently, don’t stop being aggressive,” said Moore. “What’s great about squadrons is they never forget what the objective is.” Throughout his presentation
location at the right time, which not only provides 100% total force accountability but also impacts individuals’ entitlements such as pay and decorations. “Our PERSCO team cares about if members are getting what they need, when they need, where they need, no matter what location they are at,” said Coleman. “We need to make sure warfighters are focused on what their job is and not worried about their personnel actions. We need to make sure they are being taken care of and whenever they need us that we are just a phone call away. That is why we are 24 hour ops and available for them anytime.”
Moore expressed a desire for openness where leadership is concerned. “Do not be afraid to engage and talk with leadership,” he said. “Ask me and engage with me. You can approach me at any point.” Moore began his Air Force career dedicated to becoming an A-10 Thunderbolt pilot, but things change when a cardiologist told him he was disqualified from flying he was offered a career in space operations. He enthusiastically followed that path. After many rewarding assignments including the National Reconnaissance Office, the Pentagon, Naval War College, and Royal Air Force Menwith Hill, he was selected to be the next Wing commander. “And then I popped out the other end of this incredible adventure here at the 21st Space Wing,” said Moore. “It’s a dream come true.”
When emergencies arise at home, PERSCO members are the ones who can track the warfighter in real time, reach out to them and even get them home on emergency leave if necessary. “In a deployed environment people are my business and they are my concern 24/7,” said Coleman. “I think I have a responsibility and duty to make sure the family members back home know where their members are at and that they are taken care of and that they are getting the pay that they need and the support that they need. We take it very seriously and I take it to heart that they are taken care of.”

New annual Mental Health Assessment requirement begins July 31 By Peter Holstein Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs Office
WASHINGTON — Starting July 31, 2017, Airmen undergoing their annual Periodic Health Assessment may notice something new. A Mental Health Assessment will now be part of every annual PHA, to help ensure that Airmen suffering from undiagnosed mental health issues are referred to the necessary care. Mental health issues are a serious problem for U.S. Armed Forces and for the Air Force. These illnesses are often not visible to others, making them difficult to diagnose and leading to unnecessary suffering. By implementing yearly screening, more Airmen in the early stages of mental illness will be identified and referred for treatment, helping them heal and improving overall medical readiness. “This assessment gives Airmen an annual opportunity to review their mental health with a medical provider and discuss any concerns they may have,” said Col Steven Pflanz, Air Force Director of Psychological Health. “Making the process routine for everyone reduces stigma and makes it easier
Transporting From page 1 injured stacked accordingly below. If a patient requires medical equipment the litter below is vacated for the equipment to be stored. “Hopefully this training will get some Airmen interested in becoming an aeromedical evacuation flight nurse,” said Abel. “With our nurses and technicians we can bounce around our jobs and become a flight nurse before returning to our regular nursing jobs.” Medical personnel are in control of the care of patients and make all decisions regarding medical care. The medical crew typically consists of two or more flight nurses as well as three or more aeromedical technicians. Mission require¬ments may require more nurses and technicians. According to Air Force standards all medical equipment used onboard must be cleared for flight on a basis of safety as well as efficiency. Much of the equipment is off-the-shelf civilian

for Airmen suffering from mental health problems to obtain care.” The annual MHA fulfills a requirement of the Fiscal Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, and uses established Department of Defense questions for early detection of mental health issues. The questions included in the MHA are the same
that Airmen see on their pre- and post-deployment health screenings. Completing the annual MHA can even substitute for specific post-deployment screenings. Airmen will continue to fill out the DD form 3024 online for their annual PHA, which already includes the mental health questions. Airmen will speak with a trained
healthcare provider or licensed mental health professional to complete the person-toperson component. Most flight personnel will meet face-to-face, and most non-flight personnel will complete this section over the phone. Members of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve will begin the annual MHA later in August. For Airmen stationed at bases with MTFs belonging to other Services, efforts are underway to ensure transfer of PHA questionnaires between the Services. Until this process is complete, the Air Force will utilize existing Base Operational Medical Clinic protocols to accomplish these PHAs. Airmen who underwent a PHA in 2017 prior to July 31, 2017 do not have an additional requirement to retake it this year. Their 2018 PHA will include the MHA interview with a medical provider. Airmen can monitor their individual medical readiness using their MyIMR page at https://imr.afms.mil/imr/MyIMR.aspx. This page also contains location specific information, instruction, office hours and phone numbers to help Airmen meet their IMR requirements.
medical equipment that is specifically tested and approved for flight. Typically, each patient is trans¬ported with three days of medications, supplied by the sending facility, as delays and diversions are possible. Portable liquid oxygen is required on a C-130 and the KC-135 aircraft. Only the C-17 has on-board patient oxygen. Since the Vietnam War, the C-130 Hercules has been the typical intratheater aero-vac airframe. The Hercules can be configured to carry a maximum of 74 litter patients and, due to its availability, would be the likely airframe used initially in a disaster response. Although primarily thought of as a wartime asset, the aeromedical evacuation system is an integral part of the military’s defense support mission. Disaster response, no matter what the cause, might require a significant volume of patient evacuations. The 21st SW, along with the 302nd AW, is capable of moving large numbers of complex patients over long distances making its resources vital to a successful disaster response.

Reservists team up with nine countries for overseas exercise By Maj. Jolene Bottor-Ortiona 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs
PAPA AIR BASE, Hungary — Approximately 3,000 U.S. and allied military members came here to conduct airborne training operations in Romania and Bulgaria, as part of exercise Swift Response 17, July 15. Swift Response is a multinational exercise designed to train airborne forces and enhance interoperability among high-readiness units in Europe. “Executing with all these resources in a joint and multinational environment, along with the complexity of operating in another country is a great training opportunity,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Adrian Kays, mission planning cell chief with 302nd Airlift Wing, out of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The exercise features airborne forces from nine nations including Bulgaria, Canada, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, and U.S. Soldiers and Airmen. Training activities include intermediate staging base operations, two airborne operations, an air insertion of M1126 Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles, airfield seizure operations and an air assault operation. Participating Air Force Reserve units hail from 4th and 22nd Air Forces and include the 302nd, 315th, 439th, 512th, 910th and 911th airlift wings as well the 452nd Mobility Wing. “A large part of coming out and doing this is building teamwork among our five Guard and Reserve wings, who have come together to create a larger force than any of us could put together individually,” said Kays. Swift Response is linked to a larger series of training events known as exercise Saber Guardian 17, a U.S. Army Europe-led, multinational exercise that spans across Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania with more than 25,000 service members from 22 allied and partner nations.
