U.S. Space Force chief master sergeants at the first-ever USSF Senior Leader Summit gather at the Pentagon, Washington D.C., June 14, 2021. “The Guardian Ideal not only defines our USSF core values of character, connection, commitment, and courage, but it also outlines five objectives on how we, as a service, are managing talent, and strengthening the trust, transparency, and accountability of our teams and Guardians,” said U.S. Space Force Chief Master Sgt. Karmann Pogue, Space Delta 10 Space Doctrine, Tactics, Lessons Learned, and Wargaming senior enlisted leader.

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — It’s been under a year since the Chief of Space Operations, Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, unveiled the Guardian Ideal, the Guardian Commitment, and the U.S. Space Force core values of Character, Connection, Commitment, and Courage.

As the nation’s smallest and newest service, we expect a lot of our leaders, and even more so from our smaller top 1 percent of the enlisted force, the chief master sergeants. Currently, in the USSF, there are roughly 50 chiefs serving, Airmen and Guardians combined.

We are expected to have intellectual prowess and always be ready to give sage advice around complexities like building out a new service, welcoming Inter-Service Transfer teammates to the family, standing up new processes and organizations and establishing new policies.

CSMNG CSMNG

We must have the charisma and character to develop our organizations, teammates and culture, and demonstrate the technical and operational know-how to translate strategic guidance and intent into actionable plans for the nation’s newest military service.

“

The leader’s job is not to know the answers, but to ask the questions.”

— U.S. Space Force Chief Master Sgt. Karmann Pogue

Like any great team leader, Chief Master Sgt. of the Space Force Roger A. Towberman and Team 1 ensured that all USSF chiefs were digitally connected on a group chat that allows us to text, call, and communicate as a team. The text group was established before the Guardian Ideal and core values were published and it’s how we as chiefs have been connecting every single day.

As stated in the Guardian Ideal, “…unprecedented and digitally enabled connectedness will underpin our success.” CMSSF Towberman ensured that we would not tackle any of this alone, but as a team. Staying connected as team allows

us to have the One Team, One Fight mentality, support each other, prepare our teams for the challenges that we will face and work to make sure we all have the technology, information and training we need to do what we do.

Our text group and our larger digital connection to our Airmen and Guardians, like Microsoft Teams, has allowed for everyone across the USSF, not only the chiefs, to drive collaboration, knowledge-share, build relationships, and be more productive. What other service do you know of where a junior enlisted teammate can reach out digitally to any of our senior enlisted leaders and ask a question? Questions about permanent change of stations, promotions, career field progression, professional development, or transferring from one service to are typical questions we receive where our answers and insight can be shared instantaneously with the force. We as a team have made this the new norm in our service; we have made this a reality. The more connected we are as a team, the more capable and successful we will all be.

COURAGE It’s important to have the courage to ask for help when you need it. Our digital connectedness provides a platform for us to lean on each other.

We ask each other about the issues affecting our teams. We reach out and hold each other accountable for how we should build our service and take care of our teammates, and how we should take care of ourselves. We boldly ask questions about how we should advise and inform our formations on policies and directives that affect us.

There have been several times where I typed a question out in the ‘Chief Chat’ and deleted it because I didn’t want to sound stupid, or higlight to my peers that I

don’t know something, or that I’m struggling. I know that we’ve all had a moment in our careers and lives where we’ve refused to ask for help when we could have really used it because we didn’t want to appear weak, or unknowledgeable, or just stubborn.

Regardless of our age, rank or life experiences, asking the question or asking for help on something you don’t understand or when you need it most, personally or professionally, is a sign of courage. So ask away, send the text and be courageous.

CHARACTER The chiefs have placed trust in each other over a digital platform, in a text group. One of the most incredible things is, there are some chiefs that I had never met in person, but because of the trust we have placed in each other and the bonds that we’ve built over 1’s and 0’s.When we finally met in person, it only strengthened our connection and commitment to the team.

I know that in our ‘Chief Chat,’ we’ll always receive honest replies, hold each other accountable and figure it out together as a team; unlocking, unleashing and strengthening character traits in ourselves and each other. It’s incredible to know that I have 50 other teammates I can count on any time, any place, in person or via text. It’s vital to build a network of friends, teammates and mentors at work and early in our careers who are supportive of not only your efforts, but the team’s efforts. It’s important that they be there to support and cheer ‘the good things’ and step in or speak up to help avoid ‘the bad things,’-fortifying those bonds of trust.

Whatever your age, rank or experience, building character is a process of lifelong learning that involves experience, patience, leadership, followership and a constant dedication

to growth and maturity.

COMMITMENT Our digital connectedness over a text group has strengthened our commitment to each other and our teams. We share, support and celebrate each other, our loved ones and our teams. We check in and celebrate milestones, like birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, the standing up of new units, and all the incredible things that our teams are doing. We also reach out to ask for opinions, we openly share ideas and content to gather diverse viewpoints or challenge our own bias, sometimes receiving candid feedback.

Our commitment to recognizing and utilizing our character strengths and diversity as chiefs and leaders allow us to push ourselves and our teams to new heights. It affords us a greater appreciation of our wins and milestones, given us a deeper understanding of the challenges and obstacles that our teams face, connected and committed us to solving the hard problems, all while allowing us to foster and increase the digital strength and reputation of our team.

With these elemental core values, all members have the foundation to drive our culture and shape our service. Coupled with continuous open dialogue and feedback from the field, our team of chiefs must work together to solve challenging problems and create an enduring alignment for our new service.

CMSSF Towberman once stated, “The leader’s job is not to know the answers, but to ask the questions.” So when you look over and see your chief on their phone, they just might be asking a question to cultivate growth for the USSF with the strength of 50 other chiefs coming through digitally.

25 nations participate in Global Sentinel 22

U.S. Space Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Luke Kitterman

More than 150 participants and organizers of Global Sentinel 2022 gather for a group photo at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, Aug. 3, 2022. The event is collaborative and provides participants from 25 allied and partner nations the opportunity to organize into their own Space Operations Centers to practice plans, response mechanisms and recovery tactics. Global Sentinel is U.S. Space Command’s premier security cooperation effort, designed to strengthen and grow internal partnerships, improve operational collaboration and promote responsible behavior in the space domain. The participating nations are the United States, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Israel, Spain, Finland, France, United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Thailand and Ukraine.

By Staff Writer U.S. Space Command Public Affairs

VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. — U.S. Space Command hosted Global Sentinel’s annual capstone event from July 25 to Aug. 3, 2022, at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif.

Global Sentinel is USSPACECOM’s premier security cooperation effort, design to strengthen and grow international partnership, improve operational collaboration and promote responsible behavior in the space domain.

Maj. Gen. DeAnna M. Burt, Combined Force Space Component Command commander and Space Operations Command deputy commander, delivered opening remarks, explaining how Global Sentinel demonstrates USSPACECOM’s commitment to strengthening international partnerships.

“How do we, as free-faring nations want to operate in the space domain, and how do we set that up?”

Burt posed to the GS22 audience. “There’s the free and fair use of the domain for all, but when threats to the domain arise, how do we have a united front and respond as a coalition, as they do in every other domain? We’re looking for all of us to work together and solve problems together because this will not be done alone by one nation.”

Global Sentinel began in 2014 with seven participating nations, and steadily increased that number year-to-year. For GS22, participation from 25 nations includes the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Israel, Spain, Finland, France, United 4

August 11, 2022

Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Thailand and Ukraine.

USSPACECOM established a program called “pathway to partnerships,” which establishes a method for allies and partners to integrate with the command.

GS22 is one avenue in which nations who have Space Situational Awareness agreements with USSPACECOM can deepen their integration with the command.

“I cannot emphasize enough the importance of international collaboration in space, as no single country can face this vast domain alone.” said Colonel SeongHwan Choi, Republic of Korea Headquarter Space Center director and legacy partner with the U.S.,” I’m convinced that Global Sentinel is the optimal opportunity for generating synergy as we work together with all space-faring nations around the globe.”

Each participating nation was asked to support a regional multinational space operations center to command and control their space situational awareness sensors to detect, monitor and track objects in orbit.

They were also asked to respond to scenarios, designed to model real-world events requiring multinational cooperation.

“As a country with a developing space agency the scenarios were key to answering the question, ‘how do you do space domain awareness?’” said Squadron Leader Derek Bezuidenhout, New Zealand Air Force Space Operations Integration lead, “the entry level scenarios provided a lot of great information on how to analyze and apply awareness in space. Additionally,

we’ll be better prepared in aspects such as training and equipping our space professionals. Most of all, the contacts and relationships we’re able to build has proven a priceless takeaway from Global Sentinel.”

Three years in the making, Global Sentinel was prepared to execute a premier event with many firsts. The partnerships and camaraderie proved to be some of the most impactful takeaways from this year’s event.”

“I like to say this is the first Global Sentinel; not only the first in three years, but the first with 25 nations, the first to employ multinational regional Space Operations Centers, the first to allow national tools, the first to have an international white cell director, and the first run at Vandenberg Space Force Base, ” said Michael Syintsakos, Global Sentinel director, “Global Sentinel builds partnerships and reinforces our international commitment to safe and secure space operations, and it is only expected to grow.”

Maj. Gen. Michael Morrissey, U.S. Space Command plans and policy director, spoke about how Global Sentinel promotes an international rules-based order, which is important for all space sharing nations.

“Strengthening our relationships with allies and partners is crucial to maintaining a secure, safe and sustainable space environment,” said Morrissey. “To this end, we are expanding our network of partner nations, international organizations and commercial entities. We are focused on enhancing our interoperability with allies and partners and sharing information that brings situational awareness, mutual support and technological innovation to the space enterprise.”

SLD 45 to support SBIRS GEO-6 launch, last satellite for infrared constellation

U.S Space Force photo by Joshua Conti

Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) satellite, Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO)-6 is offloaded at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. June 2, 2022. The SBIRS satellite is the sixth and final satellite in the constellation.

By Tech. Sgt. James Hodgman Space Launch Delta 45 Public Affairs

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION, Fla. — On Thursday morning a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is scheduled to carry the U.S. Space Force’s Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit 6 missile warning satellite into space.

The satellite, which is the last in the SBIRS GEO constellation, will be launched into space just over a decade since the first SBIRS GEO satellite was launched in May 2011.

“If deterrence fails, I’m convinced that the next major conflict with a peer competitor will be won or lost in space,” said U.S. Space Force Gen. John “Jay” Raymond, Chief of Space Operations, in September 2020 at the Air Force Association Virtual Air, Space and Cyber Conference. “Our adversaries are moving deliberately and quickly, to reduce our advantage. In order to be ready for the conflict, we must be bold. We must innovate. And we must move, and we must think faster. And we must empower and leverage the outstanding talent that we have.”

The integrated SBIRS satellite system is an example of that innovative thinking and leveraging of talent. The satellite was produced by Lockheed Martin in coordination with representatives from the Space Force and Department of Defense.

It provides long-range surveillance and target detection capabilities to support missions such as missile warning, missile defense, technical intelligence, battlespace awareness, as well as infrared information for multiple missions simultaneously, according to a 2016 Air Force Technology report.

The infrared payload consists of two sfspaceorbital.com

sensors: a scanner and a step-starer. The scanning sensor continuously scans the Earth to provide 24/7 global strategic missile warning capability. Data from the scanner contributes to theater and intelligence missions, according to the Space Force’s SBIRS factsheet.

The step-staring sensor provides coverage for theater missions and intelligence areas of interest with its fast revisit rates and high sensitivity. The sensors gather raw, unprocessed data that are downlinked to the ground, “so the same radiometric scene observed in space will be available on the ground for processing,” the factsheet stated. The sensors also perform signal processing and transmit detected events.

The constellation, which orbits the Earth from 22,236 miles above the equator, serves as a deterrent for America’s enemies.

Kimmel is the lead mission assurance technician for the SBIRS GEO-6 launch.

He traveled to Sunnyvale, California, in May to supervise operations as the satellite was transported to Moffett Field, California, loaded into a C-5 Galaxy from Travis Air Force Base and flown to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida.

“We make sure everything is done correctly from pressurization, to fueling operations, lifting operations, any movement of the satellite and more,” Kimmel said.

The SBIRS GEO-6 launch is not the only one planned for Thursday. SpaceX plans to launch South Korea’s Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter into orbit at approximately 7:02 p.m. With a successful launch, Space Launch Delta 45 will support two launches in one day for the first time in decades.

Class of 2026 demographics

U.S. Air Force Academy Public Affairs

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — The U.S. Air Force Academy accepted the Class of 2026 into the Cadet Wing with a ceremony at Stillman Parade Field on Aug. 5.

The ceremony, called Acceptance Day, marks the end of Basic Cadet Training (BCT) which includes six weeks of mental, physical and military training.

During the ceremony, cadets marched in parade formation and received their fourth-class shoulder boards, signifying their acceptance into the Cadet Wing. Successfully completing BCT is one of the first steps cadets take toward earning a commission as an Air Force or Space Force officer.

The Academy Admissions office reported that 1,071 cadet trainees arrived on June 23 for In-processing Day beginning their immersion into Academy life.

The Academy assigns each graduating class a Legacy Class that graduated 50 years prior to their own graduation.

“Today we celebrate your grit in completing Basic Cadet Training,” said Andrew. “This is the end of the beginning of your Cadet careers. In the ensuing years you will take on more responsibilities, not just for yourself but also for others.”

“Don’t be that person who looks back on their life and regrets the things they wish they’d done,” Andrew continued. “Always choose the hard right over the easy wrong because success in life is the result of effort and attitude.

You control both at every waking moment. The future may sound daunting, but it is also rewarding.”

The Academy admitted cadets from every state along with 16 international students. The class includes 301 women, which accounts for 28.5 percent of the class, and 754 men, 71.5 percent of the class.

• 850 cadets are Caucasian, 169 are Asian, 142 are Hispanic, 117 are two or more races, 112 are African American, 30 are Pacific Islanders, 28 are American Indians or Alaskan Natives and six are of unknown race.

The Class of 2026 includes 54 sons and 31 daughters of service academy graduates, 6.6 percent of the class. Forty-one men and 21 women are sons and daughters of U.S. Air Force Academy graduates. Both parents of six men and two women in the Class of 2026 attended the Academy.

• 165 cadets graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School.

• Six men and three women are the children of U.S. Military Academy graduates.

• Six men and five women are the children of U.S. Naval Academy graduates.

• One cadet is the son of a U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduate and two cadets are the daughters of U.S. Merchant Marine Academy graduates.

• 166 cadets are first-generation college students; 131 cadets are from single-parent homes and 52 cadets are prior enlisted service members.

• 244 cadets are recruited athletes.
