One last time: Col. Schiess presents final Commander’s Call

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Doug Schiess, 21st Space Wing commander, and his wife, Debbie, are presented the 2017 General and Mrs. Jerome F. O’Malley Award during a 21st SW commanders call at the base auditorium, Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., June 21, 2017. The award acknowledges their leadership and contributions to Air Force families and the communities during Schiess’s time leading the 21st SW.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — During his last commander’s call, June 21, Col. Doug Schiess, 21st Space Wing commander, said he will miss being part of a wing environment most as he heads to his new assignment in the Pentagon.

“What I will miss most is being at a wing and being at that level,” Schiess said. “I’ll miss talking to defenders at the gate who are working a 12-hour shift, I will miss the travel to all of our far flung locations. I’ll miss that

part of being in the wing the most.”

Schiess took a brief look back at the two years since he took charge of the 21st SW. He mentioned the Profession of Arms Center of Excellence video called “Commitment”; and how it was fitting since he talked about commitment during his first commanders call two years earlier.

“My commitment to you then was to get up every day and work toward helping you get the mission done and taking care of your families,” said Schiess.

C ommander’s C orner 21 st S pace Wing

Change of Command Season MAUI, Hawaii — “I assume command.”

These words will be spoken in many squadrons, groups, and wings around the globe this summer and they represent a distinct transition for these units.

Commander transitions are traditionally accomplished with a Change of Command ceremony. During most Change of Command ceremonies, a brief history of the ceremony is given, but what does it mean? Sure, it is a traditional event, but why is it important in today’s Air Force to have a Change of Command ceremony? And what is your role during this transition?

At a Change of Command ceremony, command is officially transferred from the outgoing to incoming commander. It is in this moment that all the official duties are transferred. All the subordinate commanders and their personnel now report to the new commander. All official direction, taskers, and correspondence are now the purview of the new commander. From the moment when the unit guide-on is passed to the new com-

Maj. Brian Moore 20th Space Control Squadron, Detachment 3 mander, he or she is now responsible for the unit’s mission. He or she is now responsible for the people of that unit.

This is arguably the most important aspect of the Change of Command ceremony.

Regardless of the unit’s mission, a clear chain of command is essential for successful operations. There must be no doubt within the unit on who is in command.

This clean break from the old commander is not to insult or reduce the tenure of the previous commander, it is to put the unit in the best position to move forward, without interruption, under the direction of the new commander.

During the first few days, the new commander will likely communicate to the unit their vision for the future. Expect the new commander to make changes. The commander will not make these changes in a vacuum. You have the ability to shape these changes.

In the days and weeks following the assumption of command, it is your responsibility to educate and inform the new commander of your roles and responsibilities.

Work through your chain of command to provide information and data to your new commander in an orderly, consolidated manner. Through this process, you enable the commander to make informed decisions to move the unit forward. From these decisions, you will see changes.

Do not fight or resist these changes simply because they are new or different. Embrace these changes as it provides the unit an opportunity to grow and improve.

These changes highlight one of the key benefits to the steady rotation of commanders

through units. It helps to avoid stagnation and satisfaction with the status quo. A change of command usually includes an influx of new ideas and a fresh vision for what the unit should and can be. This should reenergize you and the unit to further innovate.

Priorities of commanders also differ. This provides you an opportunity to readdress issues or restart initiatives you feel will be beneficial to the unit. This is not to say that the outgoing or incoming commander’s priorities are right or wrong, just different. If you have an idea or initiative that you feel is valuable and, for whatever reason, was not implemented, a new commander can provide a new opportunity to implement your idea.

So as your commanders change over this summer and beyond, take a moment to look inward at yourself. Ask yourself what new opportunities does this present? What can I do to help my commander and my unit during this transition period? Absorb and internalize the unit’s transition towards the future and your role in facilitating that transition.

Over the past two years as a team, he said he believed the commitment was seen on both his side and the wings.

“We hit that commitment pretty darn well,” he said.

Schiess recounted mission rate, ability to care for mission partners and geographically separated units as evidence, along with numerous awards the wing received, including the coveted Omaha Trophy recognizing U.S. Strategic Command’s premier space or cyberspace unit for global operations.

He is also proud of the community work accomplished by the 21 SW Knights.

“Sharon and I have gotten to know Col. Schiess and Debbie really well in the nine months we’ve been assigned here.

Stopping a virus cold, PHEDEX 2017

By Steve Kotecki 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — An unknown virus has broken out in the greater El Paso county region.

With symptoms similar to that of the pneumonic plague, the virus appears to be spreading throughout the region.

Local, state and federal aid workers have been activated to stem the wave of sickness before it becomes a full blown epidemic.

This was the scenario for the 2017 public health emergency dispensing exercise (PHEDEX) that was conducted June 6, 2017 across the state of Colorado.

The statewide exercise, which is conducted annually, was designed to test the response and procedures for first line medical responders in case an epidemic break out in the area.

Members of the 21st Aerospace Medicine Squadron from Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, set up an aid station in a hanger on the flight line to rapidly inoculate and treat the Peterson AFB community that might have been exposed to the virus.

The disease containment training is based on the lessons learned during the nationwide H1N1 influenza virus outbreak that occurred around the world in 2009.

“For the exercise we were able to process about 439 patients, if this was real, our numbers would be somewhere around 16,000,” said Maj. Matthew Bussa, 21st Aerospace Medicine Squadron, public health flight commander.

Over 16,000 activity duty personnel, civilians, and all family members are stationed, employed or live on base.

“The exercise wasn’t just about our capabilities but also about communicating with local and state leadership on how to distribute the supplies from the national stock pile,” Bussa said.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Members of Team Pete participate in the 2017 public health emergency dispensing exercise at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., June 16, 2017. The exercise was designed to test the response time of first responders in the event of an endemic viral outbreak.

From the time of initial indications of an endemic to when the first patient starts receiving the medicine is about 24 hours.

“Once the decision is made that we need to start treating patients, supplies from the Strategic National Stockpile are broken out and start trickling down from the federal level to the local level,” said Bussa.

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.

If all of this sounds like a lot of moving parts, it is.

“All of the lessons and improvements that are identified today will be implemented into future protocols for something of this nature,” Bussa said.

Going forward if there ever is an outbreak on a massive scale the members of Team Pete alongside their civilian counterparts are here to make sure everyone is safe.

To reach the action line: 21st Space Wing members and its GSUs can email 21sw.pa.action.line@us.af.mil.

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo.

— The USA Bobsled and Skeleton team visited Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado, and met Airmen, June 19, 2017.

The USABS team, lives and trains at the U.S. Olympic Complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado, just miles away from Cheyenne Mountain AFS. Though the proximity to each other is relatively close, Olympians and Olympic hopefuls rarely get the chance to venture onto the restricted area

Throughout the tour, the USABS team stopped and interacted with service members from all branches. The team said the support they receive from the military makes it even more special to wear their personal U.S. uniforms.

After stops at the gym, chapel, engine room and the underground lake, the team was even able to open and close the blast doors that keep the complex safe from the most catastrophic strikes.

With the support of the Airmen and service members of Cheyenne Mountain AFS behind them, the USABS team said they will head back to their training hoping to eventually stand atop their respective podiums carrying the starspangled flag with which both sides love so much.

and peer into the guarded complex.

“It was an honor to tour the Cheyenne Mountain AFS,” said Lauren Gibbs, USA women’s bobsledder. “I don’t think any of us had any idea of what to expect.”

The USABS team was taken on a tour through the complex and were educated on the its construction, history and saw firsthand how the complex maintains vigilance through their workings inside of America’s fortress.

“This was such a cool experience,” said Sherry Von Riesen, U. S. Olympic Committee athlete services coordinator. “It makes me feel good to see our athletes interact with the military. I know they use these interactions to fuel them as they represent our country when they are out there competing.”

PTSD treatment confronts the trauma behind the disorder

By Peter Holstein Surgeon General Office of Public Affairs

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Post-traumatic stress disorder is considered one of the “signature wounds” of the current conflicts in the Middle East. But many people may not know that there are highly effective treatments for this invisible wound being deployed at Air Force hospitals and clinics today.

It’s normal to feel stressed and anxious after a traumatic event. For patients with PTSD, those feelings don’t go away with time. PTSD can leave its sufferers feeling anxious, exhausted and depressed. They often relive the traumatic event over and over in their mind, and respond by avoiding situations that remind them of the traumatic event, shutting off emotional responses, and by feeling constantly “on edge” or tense, with exaggerated angry outbursts.

Scientifically researched and proven methods for treating PTSD work by getting the patient to confront and learn to process the trauma causing their symptoms. The process can start by talking with anyone, like a health care provider, chaplain or even just a friend.

“Ultimately, people with PTSD need to speak with a mental health provider,” said Maj. Joel Foster, the chief of Deployment Mental Health in the Air Force Medical Service, and a licensed psychologist. “We use very specific treatments that have been subjected to scientific scrutiny and research investigation, and we want people with PTSD to get those treatments.”

All Air Force mental health providers are trained in evidence-based techniques to treat PTSD. One such technique is called Prolonged Exposure therapy. PE therapy is a protocol based treatment, meaning the provider works through a structured and scripted process with the patient. There are usually eight to twelve sessions, lasting 60 to 90 minutes each.

During the therapy sessions, the provider guides the patient through two techniques that help them learn to process their trauma — imaginal exposure and in-vivo exposure.

“In imaginal exposure, we expose the patient to thoughts, memories and associations that are linked to the trauma,” said Foster. “They talk in detail about the traumatic event, and we record the discussion. They go from the start to the finish of their traumatic event, and between sessions, they listen to the recording. As the title “prolonged exposure” suggests, we do this over and over for several weeks.”

This is intended to habituate the patient to talking and

June is PTSD awareness month. The Air Force Medical Service is employing treatments for PTSD that makes a real difference in the lives of Airmen suffering from this invisible wound of war. hearing about the traumatic event. Whereas the event was once a source of anxiety and distress, the brain learns to remember it without those severe feelings. The memory is never pleasant, but it is no longer disabling.

“Imaginal exposure works the same way we get used to other things in life,” said Foster. “If you live near the subway or an airport, you may not sleep much the first couple of nights. Eventually though, you do get used to it, and you’ll be able to sleep right through it.”

In-vivo exposure does the same thing, but in real life. The patient and the provider make a list of situations, locations and other stimuli that remind the patient of the traumatic event, and rank them based on the level of distress. Working together, they come up with a plan for the patient to go to those places and gradually get used the situations.

“These ‘homework assignments’ ramp up,” said Foster.

“It might start out as going to the grocery store during low hours for 30 minutes, and you do it over and over, until you

are gradually spending an hour during busy times.”

This treatment basically floods the patient with sensations and experiences that are distressing to them, and builds up their tolerance. While it may initially be an unpleasant experience for some patients, Foster says the results speak for themselves.

“It’s a really hard thing to do, since PTSD patients really don’t want to think about things that remind them of their trauma,” said Foster. “But it works. More than 20 years of research and testing have gone into this treatment. We see about an 80 percent reduction in symptoms using this technique, and many service members are able to return to active duty after treatment.

“I actually love treating PTSD patients now,” said Foster.

“It’s rewarding to see the progress that Airmen make once they get into treatment. We can make a very real positive impact in their lives, and send them back to their families and their duties able to resume their lives.”

Health Month From page 3 Muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week to strengthen leg, back, abdomen, shoulder, chest and arm muscles.

2. FIND OUT WHAT MEN NEED TO EAT: Men’s energy needs differ from women’s needs. There are many resources available to figure out exactly how much and what foods you need based on your height, weight and physical activity level. One great, free resource to utilize is www. supertracker.usda.gov. What you eat plays an important role in making your workout more effective as well as more enjoyable. Eating the proper foods both pre and post exercise will give you the energy you need to stay energized throughout, and will also help in improving performance.

Pre-workout meals and snacks should include healthy carbohydrates, lean protein and fluids. Healthy carbohydrates like whole wheat bread or crackers, fruits and vegetables provide quick energy to fuel your workout. After activity, focus on lean protein such as a hard-boiled egg or low-fat chocolate milk to help your muscles repair and grow. Other resources available at Sheppard’s Medical Group are the Bod Pod and Registered Dietitian. The Bod Pod is a machine that calculates your metabolism, or resting metabolic rate, and exactly how many calories are needed based on your body mass and activity level.

3. PRIORITIZE SLEEP: The average male should get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Sleep is not something you should compromise. Getting enough sleep at night helps you feel alert, improves your mood and can improve memory. Too few hours of shut-eye at night can lead to health problems like obesity and diabetes. There is also evidence that lack of sleep, less than 6 hours a night, alters appetite regulation which can lead to overeating. If you want to perform at your highest, get your sleep, guys.

4. WATER IS YOUR FRIEND: Water is the best choice for hydration and health. Dehydration leads to fatigue which slowly eats away at the bodily functions you need to get

www.peterson.af.mil through the day. The more water you drink, the more alert and awake you will feel. Sodas, energy drinks, fruit drinks, sports drinks and other sugary drinks can add about 400 calories a day to mens diets. Why drink your calories when you could eat them.

5. WISE UP ABOUT WHAT’S IN YOUR FOOD: Do you really know how to read a food label? In order to stay healthy, you have to know what you are eating. Use both the Nutrition Facts and ingredient labels on food to discover what nutrients foods and beverages contain. Cut back on foods that have fat or sugar as the first ingredient and ALWAYS check the serving size!

It is important to understand that it does not have to be all or nothing when looking at lifestyle changes.

6. GO BEYOND SURVIVAL COOKING: Men are notorious for on-the-go meals and eating out. Eating your own home-cooked meals allows you to control what and how much you eat. Try steaming vegetables, roasting a chicken and choosing healthy snacks to have on hand such as nuts, seeds and fruit. Focus on eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods and remember: you can achieve optimum nutrition with limited choices.

7. ENJOY YOURSELF: Stress can be both a benefit and a burden on our bodies. A little bit of stress is good for motivation and focus but too much stress can lead to illnesses and weight gain. When you’re highly stressed, your body produces a hormone called cortisol which can raise blood pressure and blood sugar. High cortisol levels have also been shown to increase cravings for sugar and fat as well as promote fat storage. To reduce stress, find something to look forward to every day. Whether it’s a run or reading a favorite book, don’t save up all your fun for vacation!

8. GO TO YOUR CHECKUPS: The statistics are very clear: More men die from cardiovascular disease than any other condition. Do not stick your head in the sand and ignore symptoms you’re having or self-diagnose. Both high cholesterol and high blood pressure are silent killers and can cause extensive damage to the heart and arteries without producing any symptoms until it is too late. The only way to find out if you have a potential problem is to get tested.

See your doctor today!

9. PRACTICE SAFE SUPPLEMENT USE: Food should be your first source of nutrients, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy products, nuts, seeds, beans and healthy fats. Eating a balanced diet is the best way to get the nutrients your body needs to thrive.

Some men look to supplements to fill in the gaps of their unhealthy diet. Before taking a supplement, talk with your health care provider. Supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, therefore it is imperative to do your research first. To rate the safety of a supplement, visit Operation Supplement Safety at OPSS.org.

10. BUILD HABITS THAT DON’T ADD POUNDS: Small changes make big differences. Limit fatty meats like bacon, ribs, hot dogs and pepperoni and watch your intake of added sugar such as cakes, cookies, soda and ice cream.

Fill your diet with lots of vegetables to keep you satisfied and make eating convenient with meal preparation. Slice and dice all of your produce and store it in clear containers where you can easily see it. Lastly, assess the size of your plate. Studies show eating from a smaller plate helps reduce portion sizes and help curb overeating.

It is important to understand that it does not have to be all or nothing when looking at lifestyle changes. It has been proven that any improvement has benefits over being stuck in really unhealthy habits. While the most common diseases that affect men as they age all seem different, the diet and lifestyle advice for prevention essentially is the same. Eat a nutrient-rich, plant-heavy dietary pattern, be active at least 30 minutes every day, control weight or strive for 5 percent to 10 percent weight reduction if overweight, and don’t smoke.

Vice President From page 1 munications, and early warning of foreign missile tests.Every American benefits from your efforts here — the worlds only global utility, the GPS system that’s essential to our daily life, Pence said. I can assure you that you have the support of your Commanderin-Chief and of his number two and of our entire administration.You have the support of the Congress of the United States and the support of the American people that they represent.

In addition to relaying his support for service members here and across the nation in the all-volunteer armed forces, the vice president also discussed some recent newsworthy items, such as the recently confirmed promotion of Col. DeAnna Burt, 50 SW commander, to brigadier general and the relaunch of the National Space Council.

I’m pleased to report that nearly two decades after it was disbanded, in just a few short weeks the president will soon relaunch the National Space Council, and it will be my great honor as vice president of the United States to serve as its chairman, which has been a historic role for this office, Pence said.

After explaining his soon-to-be ties with space, Pence also highlighted the presidents proposed investment in the military, and specifically AFSPC. In his first budget the Congress will take up this fall, the president called for the biggest increase in military spending since the days of Ronald Reagan — including a nearly 20 percent increase in the Air Force space budget. We’re going to fight to lead in space and we’re going to put the resources of the United States of America behind you, Pence said.

Other important announcements to the military members present included President Donald Trump’s

www.peterson.af.mil

signing of the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, which will incentivize VA employees to provide Americas veterans with the care they deserve and hold these employees accountable when they fall short of their responsibilities.

I came today to say thank you.

Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service that creates our freedom at home and our security around the world, Pence said. When I look out around this room, I have faith. I have faith that in the days ahead we will keep America safe.That we’ll make it possible for America to prosper.

The visit started at Peterson AFB, and to continue their space mission focus, ended at Cheyenne Mountain AFS for a tour and briefing.

Gen. Lori Robinson, Commander, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, had the opportunity to show Pence and Wilson the NORAD and USNORTHCOM Alternate Command Center and discuss its missions at Cheyenne Mountain AFS. This is only the second time in Cheyenne Mountain AFS history a vice president has visited the facility.

The daily mission of the mountain involves collecting information from satellites and ground-based radars from around the world to provide to NORAD, USNORTHCOM and U.S. Strategic Command.

The Vice President and the Secretary of the Air Force were educated on the complexes construction and history, along with its missions.

They saw firsthand how the Airmen of the 721st Mission Support Group, part of the 21st Space Wing, maintain vigilance through the inner workings of Americas fortress.

Both Cheyenne Mountain AFS and Schriever AFB play vital roles within Air Force Space Command’s mission of providing resilient space and cyberspace capabilities to the Joint Force and the nation.
