PETERSON AIRFIELD

75 Years of Service

21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Peterson Diamond Council hosted the Diamond Jubilee birthday for Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, at The Club, April 28, 2017, marking 75 years of service.

Peterson AFB was originally established as Colorado Springs Army Airbase on April 28, 1942 at the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport where it had served Colorado Springs since 1926.

“When we heard that Diamond Jubilee meant a 75th anniversary it only made sense that the Diamond Council would take the lead for this event,” said Master Sgt. Gerald Morey, Wing Staff Agency first sergeant. “It just so happens that the Peterson Air Force Base’s 75th birthday falls on Final Friday. In the grand scope of things it’s a big birthday party for the base.”

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – The first terminal at Colorado Springs Army Air Base, Colo., established April 28, 1942 at the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, first served as headquarters during base construction. On Dec. 13, 1942, it was renamed Peterson Army Air Base in honor of 1st Lt. Edward J. Peterson after his death flying a Lockheed F-4 Aug. 8, 1942. The 21st Space Wing at Peterson Air Force Base was activated May 15, 1992 after the 1st Space Wing and 3rd Space Support Wing deactivated.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— An airplane crash in the 1940s continues to represent one Airman’s legacy decades later in the name of the base at which he served.

According to records from the Peterson Air & Space Museum Aug. 8, 1942, 1st Lt. Edward Peterson lifted off from the runway at the Colorado Springs Army Air Base in a Lockheed P-38 Lightning for the purpose of taking it out for a test flight. Moments after leaving the ground an engine failed, and just before noon the plane crashed and burst into flames.

According to an article written by Jeffrey Nash, Peterson Air & Space Museum assistant director, published on Sept. 16, 2008, a See Wreck page 8

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo — Long before Schriever existed, the area we now populate was once a thriving crossroads for many first nations.

Many Native American tribes, such as the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Jicarilla Apache and Ute tribes, inhabited and hunted the local region.

In recognition of this history and the need to understand the importance of cultural preservation, Peterson Air Force Base sponsored representatives from approximately 14 Native American tribes to be a part of the Front Range Tribal Relations meeting at the Drury Inn, April 25-26.

Leaders from Peterson, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Schriever Air Force Base, Buckley Air Force Base, F.E. Warren Air Force Base and the U.S. Air Force Academy attended.

Over the last 100 years, the United States Congress has passed a series of laws designed to protect Native Americans and their heritage. The ideas expressed in the Archeological Resources Protection Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act have made their way into Defense Department and Air Force regulations.

C OMMANDER’S C ORNER 21 ST S PACE WING

The Spirit of Attack Transcends Domains PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Following this past year as commander of the mighty Warhawks of the 4th Space Control Squadron and reflecting upon my previous assignment as the 527th Space Aggressor Squadron Operations Officer, two items become crystal clear when considering Space Mission Task Force. These two elements — mindset and development — create the necessary environment for warfighters to win current and future engagements.

These elements provide a deliberate path towards developing the right mindset for today’s warrior, regardless of air, space, cyber, land, or sea domains, which will increase a unit’s combat effectiveness and lethality.

The first element is mindset. Author Bruce Gordon’s excellent book, “Spirit of Attack,” describes both personal and shared stories of fighter pilots during various conflicts.

However, the spirit of attack was first captured by a German Luft waffe fighter pilot.

“Only the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart, will bring success to any fighter aircraft [weapon system], no matter how highly developed it may be,” said Lt. Gen. Adolf Galland, a World War II Ace. We believe this spirit transcends the air domain, and provides the lens that all warfighters need to utilize to win current and future engagements.

Technology alone doesn’t win wars. At premiere training events like Red Flag and Weapons School Advanced Integration,

Lt. Col. Christopher A. Fernengel 4th Space Control Squadron thinking adversaries such as the 527th SAS, act as a “sparring partner,” to develop our crewmembers into optimizing our weapons system.

The attitude is simple: every time we step to our weapon system, we need to have the mindset of us walking into a room with our adversary and only one of us is walking out.

We must be prepared to take the offensive and win.

We may not be take fire like a combat aircraft, however, our weapon system, when operated by a team of highly-trained professionals will directly enable the protection of good guys and simultaneously enable friendly forces to eliminate enemy threats.

Our recent fallen hero, Staff Sgt. Austin Bieren, and his warrior team embody this spirit of attack. They knew every day they stepped to their “jet,” they must be ready for the enemy because the merciless enemy is waiting, ready for them.

Bieren and his team’s steadfast example abroad demands our relentless prepared-

ness in garrison. When we are called upon, we must be ready to show this same spirit.

The second element is development. We must build our people for future challenges.

This starts by tracking experience levels of space control professionals, which is a critical element for the strategic outlook of the mission area.

However, the need is not limited to space control.

First, we must develop a robust upgrade program to grow operators into instructors, evaluators, mission planners, tacticians and weapons officers.

Second, we must identify and recognize highly experienced personnel. In the 4th SPCS, we call these individuals DEMONS. The title is reserved for highly experienced, credible space control professionals across 14 different Air Force specialty codes. These warfighters represent the top 20 percent of unit personnel.

Each member receives a patch representing the credibility and experience of those members. Although not everyone earns DEMONS status, it serves as a distinguishable milestone to strive to achieve.

Finally, we must grow a capable cadre with a depth of experience by deliberately vectoring those within the Space Control enterprise. Th is can be accomplished at all career stages, to include the tactical (16th SPCS, 527th SAS, 25th Space Range Squadron, 17th Test Squadron), operational

(National Space Defense Center, Joint Space Operations Center), or strategic (Joint Staff/ J39, Combatant Command/J39, AF Space Command) levels.

The DEMONS and Spirit of Attack mindset are intended to foster a culture where we push ourselves and one another to work as a team towards constant improvement in all facets of our lives. Regardless of rank or experience we need to challenge and empower our people to step up, lead, and compete on an everyday basis.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another,” Proverbs 27:17.

Healthy, friendly competition must reside at every level of the organization in order to reach our potential.

Our team of operators, maintainers, engineers, security forces and support personnel continue to sharpen those around them in their pursuit of excellence.

As Airmen, we must embrace the winning mentality of NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi.

“Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time.

Winning is a habit,” said Lombardi.

We must and will win. Our Nation demands it.

“CAW CAW!!!!”

We seek to sweat in training exercises so that later, we don’t bleed in combat.

ANZAC Day

Team Pete commemorates the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Day

By Staff Sgt. Tiffany Lundberg 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— With the smell of rosemary and biscuits in the air, approximately 75 U.S. and Australian service members commemorated Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Day during a 5:30 a.m. Dawn Service at The Club, April 25, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

On April 25, every year, Australia and New Zealand service members and citizens around the world commemorate not only their entrance into World War One, but also serves as a remembrance ceremony for all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice during all conflicts.

The tradition stems back to April 25, 1915, when before dawn, approximately 70,000 Australian and New Zealand Army Corps along with Allied troops attempted to capture the Gallipoli peninsula, or now known as Western Turkey, from the Ottoman Empire. Although the operation was a military defeat, it was their first war time operation as an independent nation.

“Gallipoli is held in high regard as, despite it being a military failure, it is widely acknowledged, by both their British Commanders and the Turks, that the Australian and New Zealand forces fought fiercely, effectively, and with distinction,” said Australian Army Lt. Col.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Australian Army Lt. Col. Simon McDonald, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command satellite communications operations officer, places a wreath on behalf of Australia during an Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Day Dawn Service at The Club, April 25, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. Marking the 101st ANZAC Day, approximately 75 U.S. and Australian service members commemorated not only the ANZAC entrance into World War I as an independent nation but also to remember all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in all conflicts.

Simon McDonald, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command satellite communications operations officer.

“They were recognized and acknowledged by their new nationality — as Australian and New Zealander soldiers — rather than simply as soldiers from British colonies, and established a distinct national identity.”

On the first day of the operation, approximately 3000 ANZACs died or were wounded, said McDonald. On April 25, the following year, unofficial dawn services began to remember the fallen at Gallipoli.

“The Gallipoli campaign was a tremendous war effort and the great ANZAC spirit that started there is inspiring to see in today’s generations,” said U.S. Army Col. Tim Lawson, U.S. ASMDC/ ARSTRAT deputy commander for support. “We can be proud and pleased that our three nations are brought together in friendship and mutual interest as primary factors. As a result, we have become allies and partners in many things on the global stage and I am grateful to be a part of that community alongside the ANZAC nations.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ­— Children work on an electrical experiment while attending the opening of Raytheon’s Stem Center of Innovation at the Boys and Girls Club of the Pikes Peak Region in Colorado Springs, CO Thursday, April 27, 2017.

21st Space Wing Public Affairs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — With the intent of inspiring military children to pursue education in science, technology, engineering and math, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pikes Peak Region opened a Center of Innovation April 27, at its E. A. Tutt location on South Chelton Road in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“The event was an outstanding display of community partnerships with various agencies from the Mayor’s office, local tech companies, Peterson Child and Youth Programs actively involved in establishing the STEM Center and promising to work together in the future,” said Chett Kline, Peterson Air Force Base Airman & Family Readiness Center services flight chief.

“This Center will give another opportunity for Peterson families to broaden their understanding of STEM and how it could help define their futures.”

The state-of-the-art center is the ninth of 22

locations in the U.S. and abroad that are made possible by a $5 million grant from Raytheon Company, according to a Boys & Girls Clubs release.

The center will provide military youth access to advanced technologies to stimulate creative approaches to STEM exploration, such as: a robotics demo to learn how to build and program their own robot; balloon rocket launches to better understand the transfer of energy; build a glow stick by making an electrical circuit; and floating boats to see how many pennies a boat can carry without sinking to test the forces of gravity versus buoyancy.

A full-time STEM expert will offer individual and group support at the center using realworld applications to help program participants develop STEM skills and critical thinking. In the U.S., STEM jobs are expected to grow nearly twice as fast as those in any other field by 2018, according to The U.S. Department of Commerce.

“We’re proud to offer a safe, familiar place for military youth to explore opportunities in STEM education,” said James Sullivan, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pikes Peak Region president and CEO. “With this new Center of Innovation, we’ll be able to help build even more confidence and curiosity among these amazing kids and teens, whether they ultimately decide to pursue a career in STEM or explore another interest area.”

Since more than 2 million American children have parents in the military, and military families tend to move every two to four years, the Center of Innovation in a military community like Colorado Springs is meant to ensure youth have access to advanced resources to help instill confidence and curiosity in pursuing a career in STEM, according to a release form the Boys & Girls Clubs.

Boys & Girls Club of the Pikes Peak Region began serving the community in 1888 and serves approximately 1,300 youth.

Air Force senior enlisted leaders conduct full EPME review

By Senior Master Sgt. Katherine Grabham Office of the Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force

WASHINGTON — More than 40 Air Force senior enlisted leaders and subject matter experts met at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, April 4-5 to perform an extensive review of all facets of enlisted professional military education during the 2017 EPME Triennial Review.

“We reviewed every level of EPME provided to our enlisted Airmen, from policy to content to delivery,” said Chief Master Sgt. JoAnne Bass, the chief of Air Force Enlisted Developmental Education. “This forum discussed in great length the educational component of the continuum of learning as well as the other components, training and experience, and how we can maximize leader development to build strong, resilient Airmen.”

The intent of the two-day review was to examine the state of enlisted education and the changes implemented since the last review while identifying target areas of improvement.

Additional time was dedicated to analyzing issues associated with effectively executing the continuum of learning.

“The triennial review is critical to the evaluation of EPME’s alignment with Air Force priorities and force development strategies,” said Russell Frasz, the Air Force director of force development. “We must ensure our Airmen are developed and ready to meet future mission challenges in joint, coalition and multi-domain environments.”

Working groups were formed following the triennial review, tasked with providing the Air Force’s policy and decision makers with proposed courses of action. The groups will develop plans of action for possible changes, including when in an Airman’s career education should be delivered, potential content delivery models, and how to smoothly transition any potential changes into currently existing EPME frameworks.

The EPME triennial review provided the perfect forum for Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright to address training, which he established in February as one of his three key focus areas.

“From day one, one of my objectives within this focus area has been to ensure timely, focused and operationally relevant training solutions at all levels,” Wright said. “We need to work toward eliminating redundant, ineffective

or superfluous training.”

Members of the triennial review process also focused on ways to align EPME with Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein’s focus area of revitalizing squadrons. Wright said that in order to maximize a squadron commander’s effectiveness and revitalize the squadron as a place where warfighting excellence is fostered, the Air Force needs well-trained, motivated and professional enlisted corps.

“Airmen have spoken and we’re listening,” Wright said. “They have been clear that they want professional education and development, but they don’t believe the way the current content is being delivered, especially through the existing distance learning framework, is developing them in ways they value or find meaningful. We’re keeping that feedback in the forefront of our minds as we move forward developing our (course of actions).”

The working groups are expected to move quickly, developing suggested COAs over the next few months This will allow senior enlisted leaders time to package actionable items for delivery to decision makers following the next enlisted force development panel meeting in the fall.

Maintaining MAFFS

By Ann Skarban 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

BOISE, Idaho — The flightline hustle and bustle — the constant drone of C-130 Hercules engines and coordinated ramp movements after more than 40 Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System training sorties — has come to an end. It would seem this day of training is over. But for the aircraft maintainers, in a way, their day has just begun.

“We are the first to get here, and the last to leave,” said Tech. Sgt. Vic Bejarano, 302nd Maintenance Group and one of the dozens of maintenance personnel supporting this year’s MAFFS certification training event in Boise, Idaho.

The U.S. Forest Service-hosted MAFFS certification/re-certification is conducted annually and emphasizes both ground and air safety. This year’s training is a joint event for U.S. Forest Service personnel and all four Air Force wings supporting the MAFFS mission.

“We open the aircraft and get them ready for the flight engineer’s pre-flight,” said Bejarano, the MAFFS 5 crew chief who has supported the 302nd Airlift Wing’s MAFFS mission since 2004.

“It takes a collaboration of everyone on the team,” added Bejarano as he observed the 302nd AW’s MAFFS 5 taxiing off the Gowen Field ramp in Boise, Idaho, for its fourth training sortie during MAFFS flight operations, April 21, 2017.

Representing three different Air National Guard wings and one Air Force Reserve wing from four different locations, the MAFFS supporting wings’ maintainers agree the operations tempo and camaraderie of the MAFFS mission creates a strong bond amongst them. The Department of Defense MAFFS mission is supported by the 152nd Airlift Wing, Nevada Air National Guard; 153rd AW, Wyoming ANG; 146th AW, California ANG; and the 302nd Airlift Wing, Air Force Reserve Command, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

“MAFFS is a completely different pace,” said Senior Airman Jay Davidson, an aircraft electrician assigned to Wyoming ANG’s 153rd AW who is in his ninth

year of supporting the MAFFS mission. “Everyone is lending a hand. Everyone pitches in and will do as much as possible to get ‘em back in the fight.”

For Tech. Sgt. Joseph Marion, an avionics communications/navigation journeyman with the 153rd AW, the teamwork involved in MAFFS is a highlight of this special C-130 mission. “If someone has a problem everyone collaborates. It’s a real feeling of unity,” he said.

“There is so much energy in MAFFS, with many working together to complete the mission,” said Bejarano.

“Our work begins after the flying period. We begin the post-flight inspections. We go through [the aircraft] more in-depth, opening panels, checking engines, checking tire pressure and fluid levels. We are looking — making visual inspections,” said Bejarano as he awaited the return of MAFFS 5 in the early evening hours after its last training sortie of the day.

Throughout the flying period, both the crew chiefs and aircraft maintainers are in constant communication with the aircrews before and after each sortie.

“Communication is extremely important; to make sure everything is smooth,” said Bejarano. “We want [the aircrews] to concentrate on the mission and not anything else.”

Pride in the MAFFS mission seems to fuel the aircraft maintainers’ energy and enthusiasm throughout the long, quick-paced days associated with the MAFFS mission. “Of all the C-130 units, there are only a few of us in MAFFS,” said Marion.

“It’s special.”

Editor’s note: In the 1970s, Congress established the MAFFS program to aid the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Typically, when all other civilian air tankers are activated but further assistance is needed, the U.S. Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center can request the support of the U.S. Air Force’s MAFFS flying wings to support wildland fire suppression efforts. MAFFS units are portable tank systems owned by the U.S. Forest Service and are loaded onto the U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft when MAFFS is activated.

Acquisition workforce vital to defense mission

By Carrie E. David U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command’s highest ranking civilian said the acquisition workforce plays a vital role in helping the command accomplish its mission.

James Johnson, USASMDC/ARSTRAT’s deputy to the commander, spoke to nearly 1,200 acquisition professionals during the 2017 General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Training Symposium, April 25, 2017, at the Von Braun Center’s North Hall in Huntsville, Alabama.

“The people in this room, the acquisition workforce, play a vital role in helping us provide products and services to Soldiers defending our nation,” Johnson said. “We can’t do our mission without the strong support from acquisition professionals who are in this room today.”

Johnson provided a brief overview of SMDC and its structure, explaining how the command contributes to the nation’s defense. Then he provided insight into several of the technical center’s programs.

“This slide shows some of the activities our technical center is working on… and I might add all brought to reality by the acquisition professionals who are here today,” Johnson said. “We’re working on developing nanosatellites for communications. We’re working on small satellites for imagery from space. We’re working on hyper velocity — from both an offense and a defense perspective.

“We’re working on some high energy solutions to help the Army with short-range air defense. We’re using contracting to develop test targets to give our air and missile defense systems realistic targets to shoot down.”

Johnson recounted several successes achieved by the command in the past year, but reminded attendees that they still face challenges.

“We’re all in a challenging acquisition environment. These challenges of course require prioritization and synchronization to meet critical missions due to constantly changing

three-man crash rescue team was on the scene “almost immediately.”

“Th ree enlisted soldiers, Tech Sgt. Albertis Hilbert, and Sgts. Walter Boulier and Thomas Deutsch, risked their lived by running through the massive fire to get Lt. Peterson out of the aircraft,” he said in the article. “They lifted him out of the cockpit by his parachute straps and carried him to a waiting ambulance, which set out for a hospital in Colorado Springs.”

Peterson was transported to Glockner Hospital, now known as Penrose Hospital, in Colorado Springs with massive burns over his body. Fading in and out of consciousness, Peterson’s main concern was whether or not he would fly again. Despite his focus, Peterson succumbed to his in-

www.peterson.af.mil juries and died at 3 p.m. that afternoon.

Peterson was the first Colorado native to die in the line of duty. To honor him, the base was renamed in December, 1942 to Peterson Field. Later, in 1976, the name was changed again, this time to its current moniker, Peterson Air Force Base.

Several sources, including the Peterson Air & Space Museum web site, note Peterson’s community involvement. He graduated from Englewood High School in 1935 where he played football and ran track. He also excelled academically, ranking fift h in his graduating class.

Additionally, Peterson was an Eagle Scout and founded the Englewood chapter of the Order of DeMolay, an organization that aims to prepare young men to become successful leaders and positive members of society. The organization, now known as DeMolay International inducted Peterson into its hall of fame in an on-base ceremony in 2016.

An F-4 “Photo Lightning” is guarded by U.S. Army Air Corp security members circa 1940s. The F-4 was flown by 1st Lt. Edward Peterson when he crashed on Aug. 8, 1942, while serving as a pilot in the Army Air Forces at Colorado Springs Air Base. The base was later renamed in his honor.

War II. The first mission at the location was as a photographic reconnaissance operational training unit.

Over the years, missions at Peterson Field ranged from combat crew training, fighter training station, Air Force Instructor School and it served as an airfield facility for Strategic Air Command’s 15th Air Force.

Peterson Field deactivated when Headquarters, 15th Air Force moved to March Air Force Base, California, in 1949. It was reactivated in January 1951 after the establishment of U.S. Air Force Air Defense Command and the 4600th Air Base Group at Ent Air Force Base, near downtown Colorado Springs.

Ent AFB deactivated in April 1975, and the 4600th ABG relocated to Peterson Field in April 1975. One year later, on March 1, 1976, it was renamed Peterson AFB.

Female Airmen gain time to make separation decision when pregnant

By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas — Female Airmen now have up to 12 months after having a baby to request separation from the service under the Air Force’s new Diversity and Inclusion initiative.

This policy change, effective April 26, 2017, gives female Airmen more time to better understand and assess how they can balance a military career and family needs, ensuring they have the opportunity to contribute to mission success.

“To succeed in meeting current and future mission requirements, the Air Force relies on access to the best talent our nation has to offer,” said Daniel Sitterly, the acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.

“To compete for that talent in the future, we must place

consistent emphasis on diversity and inclusion in order to attract and retain talent.”

The previous policy only gave pregnant Airmen the option to leave the service before childbirth if they made the choice to separate.

The change in policy allows female Airmen to apply for separation within the 12-month period after delivery via the virtual Military Personnel Flight, with the date of separation set for no more than 12 months after the date of application.

This policy is not retroactive. However, female Airmen who delivered a child on or after April 26, 2016, are also eligible to apply for separation up to 12 months after childbirth under this provision. This policy does not apply to adoptive parents.

Pregnant Airmen can still separate before the baby is born by submitting an application with a requested separation date between 30-90 days prior to their projected delivery date.

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.

In addition, new parents may find other Airmen who have successfully balanced work and family demands via the MyVector online mentoring system in order to provide further support and guidance.

“Our country has a natural advantage in our incredibly diverse population — we just need to maximize it,” Sitterly said. “This is another initiative which allows Airmen flexibility in making decisions for their careers, their families and their futures.”

Commemorates From page 3 sprig of rosemary to their collars to remember those lost and wounded during ANZAC Day. Rosemary can be found growing all over the peninsula where the attempted invasion occurred.

Along with the rosemary sprigs, the attendees experienced the traditional biscuits, readings about the ANZAC history and the importance of international relations, and the laying of the wreaths. The Ode and In Flanders Fields were also recited, followed by the Last Post, moments of silence to remember the fallen and National Anthems.

“I’m extremely appreciative for the invite to attend the ANZAC Day’s dawn service.

It is an honor to stand together with our allied partners to remember all those who have fallen in global efforts to promote and protect human rights, peace and security,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Eric Dorminey, 21st Space Wing vice commander.

“The 21st Space Wing has an extended history of serving alongside Australian and New Zealand armed forces and we look forward to expanding our relationship with the implementation of the C-band radar and space surveillance telescope there.”

Australian, New Zealand and U.S. forces have fought side by side in major conflicts since 1918 at the Battle of Hamel and will celebrate 100 years of mateship next year, 2018.

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR FORCE STATION, Colo. — Front Range Tribal Relations meeting attendees gathered at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado, Wednesday, April 26, 2017. The meeting was held with regional area Native American tribes to forge new relationships between the Air Force and tribal leaders.

The meeting included blessings, installation overviews, tribal overviews, round table discussions, information booths and a tour of Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station.

“The purpose of this meeting was to build relationships with tribal leaders that have or may have an interest in the resources on the land encompassed by the installations of the Front Range,” said Sandy Ingrassia, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron cultural and natural resources manager. “Our goal was to bring governments together to learn about each other and find ways to come together to meet our respective mission needs.”

Base commanders spoke about archaeological and historic resources, cultural resources management plans and upcoming projects.

“I wish I could go back and change the past, but I can tell you I am committed to moving forward, as Schriever’s installation commander, to ensure I’m sharing the base’s history with you,” said Col. DeAnna Burt, 50th Space Wing commander. “We want to get this right and move forward in a positive direction, and I plan to be as open and transparent with the paperwork that we do have and have done.”

Many of the tribes expressed their concerns, creating a learning environment for all who attended. The tribes requested further assessment of the land surrounding the different installations to see if any more artifacts have gone undiscovered. They also requested to be mindful of sacred sites as well as to maintain overall respect for the land.

“I’m on the tribal council and have met with federal, state, city and council leaders, but have never met with military members before today,” said Ryan Kills a Hundred, Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe tribal historic preservation officer assistant. “The discussions and immediate respect that is already being shown here is incredible.

In past meetings I’ve attended, this was not always the case. It’s encouraging and feel like we are going in the right direction. I’m happy to

Despite some of the positive feedback, the meeting resulted in several controversial moments; however, this was the first step to gaining a new understanding between both parties on such a large scale.
