Kendall, Brown, Raymond outline changes necessary to defend the nation, the need to go fast and succeed

By Charles Pope Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — Speaking separately at an influential gathering two blocks from the White House March 9, the Department of the Air Force’s highest ranking civilian and military leaders offered emphatic variations on a similar theme – the need to modernize faster, think faster, and nurture the cultures needed to confront potential threats and adversaries.

“I am focused on modernization,” Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall said during a keynote address closing the 13th Annual Defense Programs Conference staged by McAleese and Associates.

With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine entering its third week and China’s continued military expansion and modernization, no one has to look far to understand why, he said.

“It’s still China, China, China for me,” Kendall said in outlining the challenges he’s focused on. “Russia … is a significant power to be concerned with. We’ve had a wake-up call; we’ve had an emotional event that says, ‘Yes, war at scale among great powers, among modern powers can actually happen.’ It can also happen in the Pacific.”

China, he said, “Has vastly more resources than Russia does and has been investing for almost 30 years to field forces that can keep the United States out of that region, (and) defeat us if we try to interfere in something they might do. So, the threats are increasing over time.”

Those realities as well as others, including North Korea, are the catalyst for Kendall’s “Seven Operational Imperatives,” his blueprint for reshaping the Air and Space Forces to meet challenges now and in the future.

Those themes – the need for urgent change to reshape the Air and Space Forces amid China’s rise and Russia’s ambition – as well as hardening operations in space were the focus in remarks earlier in the day from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., and Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond.

Kendall agreed that space is a key component. He praised Raymond for how he’s developed the Space Force but, like Raymond, said more must be done. “We have a lot of work to do in terms of the Space Force and transitioning from a force which was designed for a period when we could operate with impunity in space. … We are starting down the path that takes us in the direction of having more resilient capabilities in space,” Kendall said.

That we have arrived at an “inflection point” in history is something Raymond, and Brown in his remarks later in the day, highlighted. “We live in a very complex, strategic security environment. Probably the most complex strategic environment that we’ve had in over three

generations,” Raymond said in a morning session.

“We have some problems that we’re facing that are becoming more complex, more complicated with increasing uncertainty and will all take leadership to solve,” Brown said only hours after Raymond spoke.

The remarks from all three officials were, in large measure, echoes of comments each delivered last week at the Air Force Association’s Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida. But they also provided more detail about the plans and priorities of each service and the consequences if those goals aren’t realized.

“Space plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges because it underpins every instrument of national power: diplomatic, informational, military, and economic,” Raymond said. “… A few years ago we could assume unfettered access to space and freedom to maneuver in space. You can’t assume that anymore.”

Like Kendall, Raymond said there cannot be delay and he described how the Space Force, in its third year, is being built for speed and to ensure sustained superiority in that critical domain.

“We have to get this right and we don’t have time to waste,” said Raymond, who has led the Space Force since it was born in December 2019.

“Our challengers are moving fast and ultimately seek to surpass the United States as the world’s leading space power. The Space Force must deliver faster than our competitors and extend our nation’s advantage in space.

The competition in space over the next decade will be fierce. We can’t afford to lose,” he said.

Raymond also said the Space Force is moving aggressively to harden capabilities in space, making them more resilient instead of the vulnerable hardware that came before and was suitable to a domain that was peaceful and “benign.” Those conditions are no longer present.

“Competitors are escalating their coercive and malign activities in all domains and are imposing new trans-boundary challenges on the joint force,” he said.

“China and Russia are demonstrating capability to contest our advantage and build capabilities that enhance their power, putting our forces at risk. Space underwrites the joint force — our joint missions don’t close without space. We can’t fight, communicate, target, precision-strike, or maneuver … without space,” he said.

“To ensure we are able to continue to offer these capabilities today and in the future, the Space Force is embarking on an unprecedented shift in our Space Force architecture,” Raymond said.

Brown made a similar point, noting that the Air Force must adroitly “balance risk” if it is to succeed in meeting today’s challenges while also shaping itself for the future.

Navigating those challenges, he said, demand the Air Force bring to life his strategic approach to transforming the service called Accelerate Change or Lose, and

address what he outlined as four types of risk: “warfighting risk, which pertains to the Air Force’s rate of modernization relative to adversaries;” “foundational risk,” which includes nurturing and sustaining Airmen, ensuring readiness; “execution risk,” which is shorthand for budget and acquisition hurdles; and “industrial base risk,” which refers to the impact of budget instability on current and future companies that feed the service’s manufacturing needs.

Even though Brown spoke on the same day Congress finalized a full budget for the current fiscal year, he emphasized that delaying budgets has a direct and adverse impact on security.

“Any good strategy needs to be actionable and it needs to be resourced. I know we’re getting close to a budget, but continuing resolutions are devastating to actually allowing us to move forward,” Brown said, using the term for a temporary budget that keeps the government from shutting down in the absence of a completed, final, full-year spending plan.

“Think about it. We’re six months into the fiscal year and we’re just now getting a budget. We’ve passed one budget in the past decade. If you line all those CRs together it’s over three years we worked without a budget. … If you’re trying to accelerate change, you can’t be spotting your adversaries three years.”

Like Brown and Raymond, Kendall noted the dangers of delayed annual budgets, warning that they hamper modernization at a time when adversaries are closing the gap that in the past separated the U.S. and its capabilities from their own.

“We have a narrow window of opportunity to modernize our force and realize the change that is required to defend our homeland. Time truly is of the essence,” he said.

“Continued investment in new capabilities ensures the nation has the cutting edge technology needed to remain competitive and stay ahead of our adversaries,” Kendall said. “While divesting legacy and aging platforms is a necessary first step, this alone will not free the resources (the Department of the Air Force) requires to modernize. Significant additional resources are required to attain the (forces) the nation needs for the future.”

“Since Desert Storm (in 1991), the Air Force is now half the size and the average age of our fleet has tripled,” he said. “By comparison, since the 1990s, (China’s) Air Force has modernized their fighter fleet, increased their flight hours by over 60%. … Our rate of modernization has not kept pace with our adversaries.”

“The future Air Force must be resourced appropriately so we can prevail in a future conflict. We must fund the transition of the Air Force today to the Air Force we’ll need for tomorrow,” he said.

302 AW Reserve Citizen Airman recognized for outstanding performance

By Laura Fitzmorris 302nd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — A 302nd Operations Support Squadron aircrew flight equipment Airman earned a Headquarters Air Force level award for his exceptional performance in 2021.

Tech. Sgt. Matthew Kenny, 302 OSS AFE craftsman, was named Outstanding Aircrew Flight Equipment Noncommissioned Officer of the Year for both Air Force Reserve Command and HAF. “There was no question when it came time to put in names and recommendations for who would be a good, competitive candidate for the AFE NCO of the Year Award,” said Master Sgt. Ashley Solum, aircrew flight equipment lead trainer and Kenny’s supervisor.

“Tech. Sgt. Kenny had already been recognized at the squadron, wing and AFRC levels so we knew he would be an excellent nominee at the HAF level.”

Kenny says he never would have won the award without the support of his fellow Airmen and other great mentors throughout his life.

“Both my father and father-in-law are retired military and have nearly 55 years of leadership they’ve bestowed on me,” said Kenny. “I’ve also been privileged to have great supervisors that always went the extra mile for me throughout my career within the Air Force. I’d also like to thank my wife, who so kindly coaches and guides me. She supports me and the family more than I could ask for, especially when I’m deployed or on a temporary duty assignment.”

Outside of his acknowledgments and recognition, Solum said her troop always leads the charge with a positive attitude.

“He is an excellent trainer and mentor, not only to younger Airmen, but to his peers and leaders as well,” said Solum. “His vast knowledge and expertise on the equipment make him an invaluable asset.”

Kenny has many roles in the AFE shop and, according to him, is often training fellow Airmen or leading by example with hands-on equipment. He routinely packs parachutes, inspects night vision goggles and tests floatation equipment.

“I’ve become a subject-matter expert on our defense property accountability system, which we use to forecast bench stock, maintain equipment records, generate reports and inquiries pertaining to our equipment and inspections,” said Kenny. “I also help with our aircrew training program, which includes training aircrew how to use our survival equipment, and the proper use of our chemical/biological equipment. Lastly, I’m the unit safety representative. Most drill weekends I spend some time making sure our squadron isn’t violating any safety hazards.”

Solum said that Kenny’s remarkable character and enthusiasm to serve are exceptional qualities that make him a stand-out NCO. “We are so lucky to have him,” said Solum. “I am proud to serve with him.”

When asked what he would tell the Airmen working next to and supporting him, Kenny said ‘thank you.’

“Thank you for pushing me to always better myself and to stray out of my comfort zone routinely.

Thank you for having high expectations of me and for taking time out of your busy day to care about a fellow Airman,” said Kenny. “I think this award could also be named best AFE shop for all of HAF. I couldn’t have won this award without the help from everyone within the office.”

$160,000 STEAM Grant awarded to Peterson and Schriever SFB

By Airman 1st Class Brooke Wise Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — Schriever Space Force Base and Peterson SFB have been awarded three grants totaling $160,000 for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and teacher personal development.

These grants, provided by the U.S. Navy, support school districts that have military connected students. This funding will allow teachers to learn scalable STEAM activities and provide the resources necessary to perform those activities. “Our instructors will teach STEAM as an interwoven and complex pursuit that blends disciplines and makes STEAM learning meaningful and inspiring,” said Ruth Moore, Schriever School Liaison.

“Topics include hydraulics, thermodynamics, logic gates, electric motors and circuits.”

This grant is available for 48 teachers in the Colorado Springs area. They will receive a certificate for personal development hours with DoD STEAM and a classroom set of supplies for each school that participates.

“I want to use this opportunity to leverage STEAM at Schriever and create the STEAM ecosystem by partnering with Schriever members, DoD agencies, local organizations and educators to include higher education,” said Moore. “STEAM fosters ingenuity and creativity, and can lead to new ideas and innovations.”

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math has recently expanded to include Art (STEAM) which encompasses design and creativity.

Breaking barriers: 2nd DAF Women’s Air and Space Symposium focuses on change

UPDATES

Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones provides a virtual keynote brief at the Department of the Air Force Women’s Air and Space Power Symposium from her Pentagon office in Arlington, Va., March 10, 2022. Jones covered topics including policy review and how Airmen and Guardians can address change at any level.

By Staff Sgt. Elora J. McCutcheon Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) — The Women’s Initiative Team and the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Diversity and Inclusion hosted the second annual Department of the Air Force Women’s Air and Space Power Symposium March 8-10.

Hundreds attended the virtual threeday symposium to hear a variety of panelists highlight the importance of equality for women in the military and discuss how leaders, regardless of gender, can break barriers to pursue positive change at any level in the Air and Space Forces.

“Our Department demands diverse leadership styles to help address the complex problems facing our Airmen and Guardians today,” said Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall. “Representation matters. Having female leaders at the table matters. As your Secretary of the Air Force, I acknowledge we have more work to do.”

Kendall opened the symposium with a message to participants that encouraged them to consider why women’s equality is not just a conversation for women, but for leaders, to ensure the force is as diverse and reflective of the society it serves.

“As we look ahead to the next 75 years of the Department of the Air Force, we must ensure that we have the brightest young Americans we can get,” Kendall explained. “To do that, we must ensure that all who serve, and all who want to serve, in the world’s best Air Force and world’s only Space Force have the opportunity to do so. We must create an environment where all who serve feel like they are needed, their service is equal to those around them, and their families are taken care of.”

Panelists from around the Air and Space Forces joined the conversation that spanned beyond gender equality—encompassing topics that included balancing family and service, practicing resilience and becoming a leader.

Keynote speakers Chief Master Sgt. of sfspaceorbital.com

the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass and Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force Roger A. Towberman honed specifically in on the importance of being a multifaceted leader for the sake of Airmen and Guardians that fall under the care of a noncommissioned officer.

“Understand how critical you are,” Towberman emphasized to listeners.

“You have the opportunity to change someone’s life and you are obligated to do so. If we get it right at the first level supervisor, we change the world. No one makes it to 20, 30 or 40 years without first making it to four.”

After echoing Towberman’s sentiments for leaders, Bass continued to explain how the Department of the Air Force is looking to grow a healthy force of leaders who will be ready to handle complex responsibilities as they progress to every level. She prompted, “Before our Airmen [and Guardians] become noncommissioned officers, and face the responsibilities that we expect from them at that rank, how do we prep the line to help them grow and ensure they are set up for success?”

The symposium’s third day featured a keynote address from Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones and included briefs about women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, life on the front line, shattering ceilings and changing policies.

Jones took time to answer audience questions following her remarks about the Department’s gender specific policy review, recent clarifications regarding flying while pregnant, and what Airmen and Guardians can actively do to address what the Department of the Air Force still needs to change.

“Just because it is not affecting you, does not mean it is not affecting the unit,” Jones responded to the audience when asked about how to more swift ly change policies. “Our leaders at every level need to focus on being a good ally and improving the environment they’re working in to ensure we recruit and retain the best talent our nation has to offer.”

Peterson Space Force Base

Jones’ message echoed the recurring theme from all speakers throughout the symposium—current and future leaders must make a change for the better to break down barriers and evolve the Department of the Air Force into a force as diverse and reflective as the society it serves. Similarly to Jones’ idea, Lt. Gen. Nina Armagno, Space Force director of staff, described the national security imperative for creating an environment where all can thrive, regardless of age, race, sexuality or gender.

“Culture is the leader’s responsibility,” she emphasized. “Create the environment you want, and you’ll get the results you need to advance the mission.”

When describing the value of events like the Women’s Air and Space Power Symposium and groups like the Women’s Initiative Team, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin outlined three areas where they help the service accomplish meaningful and enduring change: “First, we need to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of women in our Air and Space Forces, and this forum does that,” Allvin began. “We need to educate on the barriers that exist and figure out how we can help clear those barriers.

Then, we need to commit to action and make sure we can follow through on our commitments. The national security events that are unfolding before us right now show us the consequences of not committing to action. We know what’s at stake. We know we have an opportunity to break down these barriers, continuing to move forward toward a more diverse and inclusive workforce in our Air Force because our nation needs nothing less.”

For those interested in watching the symposium, recordings of the panels and briefs are be available on the Women’s Air and Space Power Symposium Facebook page.

Airmen or Guardians interested in getting involved with the Barrier Analysis Working Group should contact the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Diversity and Inclusion at SAF.ODI. Workflow@us.af.mil.

SPACE SYSTEMS COMMAND — Career choices, professional and personal goals, and the importance of having professional and personal mentors were among the topics shared by senior U.S. Space Force, U.S. Air Force, and civilian leaders during the Space Systems Command’s (SSC) Spring Speed Mentoring Event held virtually March 1.

Among the nearly 100 mentors were program managers, materiel leaders, senior materiel leaders, program executive officers, and many others who joined more than 125 mentees to participate in four unique 20-minute virtual sessions. Mentees received discussion topics and guidance on how to maximize their sessions prior to the event.

Lt. Gen. Michael A. Guetlein, SSC commander, opened the event and welcomed participants, thanking both mentors and mentees for making the time to join in and referred to the event as a great opportunity to expand their network. He shared that it’s vital to be able to manage “by name,” meaning understanding each individual’s priorities, their personal life, and career objectives and goals. Understanding each other at an individual level is even more important under the COVID environment, which has increased isolation for many.

Guetlein also stressed the importance of not only having mentors, but SPACE ORBITAL

finding the “right” mentors. “Right,” he said, “is defined, in part, as being someone whom you trust and respect, is open to listening and sharing perspectives and thoughts, and has a wealth of experience and diverse perspectives to offer.” The “right” mentor, he said, can also help a mentee build a roadmap toward professional and personal goals. “The roadmap doesn’t have to be deeply detailed, but it can be a vector on where you’re trying to go.”

The mentor-mentee relationship is one that can be beneficial well into the future, Guetlein shared. But to get there requires ongoing effort to maintain and nurture the relationship. The benefits, he said, of having mentors extends from guidance on professional challenges such as difficult workplace issues and long-term career planning to personal challenges such as stress management, work/life balance, and interpersonal relationships. Mentors also provide the opportunity for increased networking.

Guetlein shared his own experiences with mentors who were influential in guiding him along his career path.

One, a high school teacher, took the time to mentor him in his junior year and encouraged him to become more extroverted by taking up public speaking. Another mentor stepped in when Guetlein was a junior officer and was struggling with possibly taking an inter-service transfer to another military service branch. Guetlein said, “After a See MENTORING page 11 sfspaceorbital.com

MENTORING

POWER BREATH WORKSHOP

Continued from page 6

lengthy discussion with this mentor, what I thought I wanted to do wasn’t really what I wanted to do after all.”

With a large and diverse military and civilian workforce, mentoring programs help address the challenge of ensuring that deep technical knowledge as well as valuable soft skills are passed down and across the organization. Better connecting employees of all ages and career levels is also the first step in bridging generational gaps.

“Strong mentor relationships can help individuals navigate the challenging and complex acquisition world, resulting in effective leaders and good decision-makers,” said Guetlein.

He explained that mentors also help Guardians, Airmen, civilian personnel and contractors better manage personal issues so that they can stay healthy physically and emotionally, thus remaining fully committed to the fight.

This event was the third for mentee Alan Leung, chief, SSC’s OCONUS (Outside the Continental U.S.) Fielding, Special Programs Directorate. He said that the all-virtual event went very well. “The interactions we have with our senior leaders are invaluable,” said Leung.

“I’m impressed with how much we’ve been able to scale-up the participation. It shows that we’re committed to sustainably growing our future leaders.”

As a seasoned professional, Leung said he always learns something at these mentoring events. “One of the mentors really stressed the importance of taking time to assess a new situation or challenge, not rush into failure,” explained Leung. “It’s best not to make any changes until you have a deep understanding of the facts and flow for how your team or organization operates.”

Barbara Baker, senior materiel leader, SSC C2 Systems, one of sever-

al senior level mentors at the event, said she herself has benefitted from having several mentors along her professional path.

“Some of whom I have intentionally sought their advice and others who were role models that I emulated. I would not be here today if it wasn’t for mentors along the way taking a chance on me or showing me the way,” she said.

Baker had high praise for the event.

“Events like this unveil the mystery behind how leaders get to where they are in their professional career and the opportunity to get advice on a number of different subjects,” she said. “There is no one career path at SSC. Acquisition is a team sport and we need everyone, military, civilians, and contractors across all functional expertise including our amazing Los Angeles Garrison team to help us get after the threat by 2026.”

Mentee USAF 1st Lt. Caleb Walker, Space Acquisitions Intelligence Analyst, in SSC’s S2 Operations, said his goal in participating was to establish an ongoing mentor-mentee relationship with each of the mentors he met with. Walker said although he has had some informal mentors before, “this was the best opportunity I have seen in the military, as a young officer, to help establish mentor relationships across SSC. Keep this up!”
