SCHRIEVER SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. —

Through the Global Positioning System and weather data, the U.S. Space Force 2nd and 6th Space Operations Squadrons provide critical and life-saving information to people and agencies all over the world from Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado, and 2nd SOPS’ 17 other geographically-separated units.

GPS is provided to the public courtesy of 2nd SOPS, benefiting the lives of billions daily.

Commonplace services like TV, internet and phone connectivity, modern day air, ground and ship navigation, global banking, stock exchanges, and ATM transactions would not be possible without the GPS signal and timing 2nd SOPS provides. Even emergency responders such as police, fire fighters and emergency medical technicians rely on 2nd SOPS’ signal to safely and effectively navigate to their designated locations, especially in times of natural disaster when street signs and landmarks may not be visible or present.

“Our job is to provide precision navigation and timing to the world’s GPS users,” said U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Robert Wray, 2nd SOPS commander. “We don’t route [GPS signal] out to anyone in particular; anyone in the whole world can receive the GPS signal.”

Currently, 2nd SOPS has 31 active GPS satellites orbiting the Earth at around 14,000 kph. They use radio waves to constantly monitor and track the exact position of these satellites and the exact time they are in that position. Radio wave signals are not delivered to its recipients instantaneously; the time it takes to receive a signal is dependent on the distance the signal must travel to get to its recipient, a ratio of around 300,000 kilometers a second.

Since 2nd SOPS knows the exact location of all their satellites at any given point in time, they can determine the exact global position of a device based on the differing amounts of time that device takes to receive signals from each of the satellites in view. For someone to have proper GPS connectivity, their device needs to have at least four of the 31 GPS satellites in view.

If requested through the Combined Space Operations Center, 2nd SOPS can provide increased GPS support over specific locations during and after natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados and wildfires for limited amounts of time.

“If the U.S. government says, ‘we are going to help this country,’ we would be requested to provide enhanced support,” said Wray. “We would increase the power of the GPS signal over that area, so that way it could cut through interference.”

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo.

— Space Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance runs on technology and that technology runs on programmers.

The Supra Coder program creates a homegrown coding capability using Guardians.

The program consists of an intensive three-month training called Soft ware Development Immersive, a fast-paced coding boot camp, followed by a three-month internship with a U.S. Space Force soft ware factory.

“The coding boot camp taught me the skillset to meaningfully contribute to a project,” said Spc. 4 Aileen Ocampo, a Full Stack Developer at Defensive Cyberspace Operations Support. “The Space Force is looking at ways to modernize, and with this training, I feel I can have an impact on that.”

The in-house coding capability Supra Coders provide means a Guardian, who has been in the seat as an end-user, is actually developing the soft ware necessary to accomplish missions. It also supports the USSF’s goal to cultivate digital fluency among all Guardians.

“The U.S. Space Force put a lot of effort into developing Supra Coders the right way, with the right training to yield a knowledgeable, capable programmer,” said USSF Chief Master Sgt. Matthew Collingridge, Space Delta 6 – Cyber Operations, senior enlisted leader. “Now we’re working to make sure we utilize them in the right way.”

Several Space Deltas formed Combat Development Teams, allowing their Supra Coders to work full time in areas that utilize their talents, training and experience as operators.

“The Supra Coders are a pretty tight sfspaceorbital.com

community, even across Deltas,” said 1st Lt. Kelsey Puttkammer, DEL 7 - ISR combat development team deputy director. “Being synced with the other teams allows someone to come up with a soft ware solution and share it with other units, who can then tailor it to their needs and their mission.”

DEL 7 is currently working on an operations log, which will allow units to see and understand what other ISR functions are doing to better collaborate and avoid duplications of effort.

“An ops log may seem like a relatively small thing, but giving Guardians a tool that doesn’t crash and can be streamlined depending on their mission, while still being collaborative and end user-focused means more attention going to the requirements and customers,” said Puttkammer.

DEL 6 uses their Combat Development Team to provide solutions and streamline delivery to other Deltas relying on their data and support. The team lends its expertise in other ways as well.

“The Supra Coders provide benefits even outside of coding, it helps to have Guardians who ‘speak the language’ when interacting with customers and contractors,” said Collingridge. “Being able to communicate requests, requirements and deliverables in a realistic, knowledgeable way makes getting the right solution faster and easier, without as much back and forth or things getting lost in translation.”

The Supra Coder program is relatively new, but program managers are expanding class sizes to meet the growing need for the capability it provides, as Deltas find innovative ways to utilize their Supra Coder talent.

UNMC called nation’s top biocontainment resource

By John Keenan UNMC strategic communications

OMAHA, Neb. — Lieutenant General Robert Miller, MD, the surgeon general of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force, toured UNMC in September and called UNMC the country’s premiere biocontainment resource.

Chris Kratochvil, MD, Global Center for Health Security Distinguished Chair, joined Lt. Gen. Miller during his visit. He said the visit was a chance to showcase current collaborations with the U.S. Air Force and consider expanded collaborations.

“This is a tremendously valuable and valued collaboration,” Dr. Kratochvil said. “The return of the Air Force surgeon general with a broader cohort of his team members truly exemplifies their prioritization of partnering with us and interest in expanding that collaboration even further.”

Lt. Gen. Miller said the visit’s purpose was threefold – to learn more about UNMC’s efforts in biocontainment, to follow up with the embedded C-STARS team and to “show our appreciation for everyone that has worked so hard to get our C-STARS Omaha team to the place it is today.”

Lt. Gen. Miller said the visit “was validating that we really are partnered with the best when it comes to biocontainment, and that support goes both ways. It sounds like our team is doing great things in support of the Nebraska group, but in the same regard, we feel very lucky that we have this partnership with the University of Nebraska.”

“We started this partnered journey in 2018, pre-COVID, and we feel very thankful, from a readiness standpoint, that this was already paying off dividends,” he said. “It highlights how important it is to have Air Force medics trained in biocontainment and trained in moving infections patients, because that’s the expectation from those we support. We need to be the DOD experts. We still have some opportunities to improve. We need to train people outside of infectious disease docs

to include our enlisted. All the members of our medical team need to be ready for the next fight.”

That is why, Lt. Gen. Miller said, the U.S. Air Force is working to improve its biocontainment efforts.

“That needs to be the Air Force niche. We need to be better than anyone else in the DOD at air evacuation of patients, and at times that means folks that have been exposed to hazardous environments.

“We know, as an organization, we can do better with biocontainment. We need to understand how to safely move infectious patients by air, and to get where we want to be we must partner with

the best. That is the University of Nebraska for biocontainment.”

Lt. Gen. Miller’s visit on Sept. 6 included a presentation by Lt. Col. Elizabeth Schnaubelt, MD, director of C-STARS Omaha, on the history of C-STARS as well as its infectious disease air transport program.

Lt. Gen. Miller also toured the Global Center for Health Security in the company of James Lawler, MD, as well as the iEXCEL program. He met with National Strategic Research Institute Executive Director Maj Gen. (USAF, ret) Rick Evans and UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, as well as other medical center leaders.

U.S. Airmen assigned to the 22nd Airlift Squadron configure the ramp for pallet loading on a C-5M Super Galaxy as part of a Major Command Service Tail Trainer mission at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 24, 2022. During the trip, the aircrew also delivered over 90,000 pounds of humanitarian aid to Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras.

By Senior Airman Karla Parra 60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs

SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras (AFNS) — Airmen assigned to the 22nd Airlift Squadron and 60th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron from Travis Air Force Base, California, collaborated to deliver more than 90,000 pounds of humanitarian aid to Honduras during a combined Major Command Service Tail Trainer (MSTT) and Denton cargo mission Aug. 21-31, 2022. Members of Youngstown Air Reserve Station’s 76th Aerial Port Squadron helped palletize and load the cargo.

Maj. Zachary Barrington, 22nd Airlift Squadron C-5M Super Galaxy pilot instructor, led a 14-member crew that delivered approximately $38,000 worth of medical supplies and other goods to support the Denton Program, which allows private U.S. citizens and private organizations to transport humanitarian goods to approved countries in need.

The crew consisted of pilots, flight engineers, loadmasters and crew chiefs with varying levels of experience. Each member received real-world operations training for the C-5M, enabling some members to become fully qualified and ready to support rapid global mobility.

“It was incredible to witness how the crew divides and conquers each challenge to successfully deliver aid where it’s needed,” said Staff Sgt. Darren Hopkins, a recently cross-trained 22nd AS C-5M flight engineer.

With the guidance of his instructor, Tech. Sgt. Beverly Castro, 22nd AS C-5M flight engineer instructor, Hopkins transitioned from simulators and

theoretical systems studies to real-world applications in operations for the first time on this mission.

Each student on board received guidance and debriefs during flight and upon completion of their performance at every stop from their respective career field instructor.

“One of our goals during these MSTT missions is obviously to expedite students’ upgrade training, but just as important is to build our loadmasters’

competence and confidence,” said Tech. Sgt. Jacob Buruato, 22nd AS loadmaster instructor.

These long missions allow pilots, flight engineers and loadmasters the opportunity to check off tasks required to reach proficiency.

“These training missions are imperative to the development of our students’ skillset and ultimately, to mission success.” said Buruato. “Whether you are a pilot, flight engineer or a loadmaster student, MSTTs equip our Airmen with additional knowledge and real-world experience to tackle obstacles in the future should they face any.”

Both students and instructors benefit during these training missions.

“The moment when your student understands and realizes the importance of their role during a mission is very rewarding,” said Buruato, “And missions tend to drive that newfound mindset home.”

Dual-purpose missions like these tend to do just that.

“Flying into Honduras was a unique experience on its own,” said Hopkins. “Realizing that these supplies contribute to the development of that country helped me put things into perspective.”

The rest of the training consisted of stops to unique places such as Colorado, Ohio, Florida, South Carolina and Portugal.

“One of my personal takeaways from my first flight in my new career field is witnessing how these trainings support growth on the road, enhance communication and draw the crew closer to become one team, one fight when it comes to rapid global mobility,” said Hopkins.

By Staff Writer Space Force News

HOUSTON, Texas — The U.S. Space Force and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez signed an agreement Sept.

9, 2022, making them the 14th member of the service’s University Partnership Program.

Chief of Space Operations Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond joined UPRM Chancellor Dr. Rullán at the Johnson Center in Houston, Texas, to finalize the agreement and to learn more about the university’s space initiatives and capabilities.

Th is partnership will leverage the space and technical prowess to: enhance and encourage collaboration on science, technology, engineering and mathematic fields, build solutions for current and future research projects that further national security objectives in the space domain, and grow and develop a qualified, diverse, and inclusive workforce.

“The Space Force needs highly educated Guardians with STEM expertise to operate and develop advanced space systems,” Raymond said. “We need partners like the University of Puerto Rico because: space is hard! We need the best minds in the nation to help us solve problems, build solutions, and operate some of the most sophisticated platforms, systems, and networks anywhere on Earth.

“If we are going to keep our advantage sfspaceorbital.com

in space and ensure space remains open for science and discovery, we need partners like the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez.”

Among other areas, the university’s College of Engineering conducts research in satellite photography that tracks various earth phenomena, which directly supports the Space Force’s mission.

UPRM has graduates have made a significant impact in various STEM career fields – including Orlando Figueora, the Director of Mars Exploration at NASA, as well as William Navas, Jr., a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy.

The University Partnership Program seeks to recruit, educate and develop subject matter experts that engage in worldclass research and technology developments to secure the nation’s interests and maintain an advantage in space.

The UPP’s four goals are to establish opportunities for world-class research, advanced academic degrees, and workforce and leadership development for Guardians; identify and pursue areas of mutual interest with member universities, individually and collectively; establish scholarship, internship and mentorship opportunities for university students and ROTC cadets; and recruit and develop diverse officer, enlisted, and civilian Guardians with a particular focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

(AFNS) — Air Force Special Warfare created a formalized special warfare caTummy det program to help Air Force ROTC and U.S. Air Force AcademyTucks cadets prepare to be special tactics, combat rescue, or tactical air control party officers.

This program was developed in response to cadets arriving at selections for special warfare, the only specialties requiring a pre-commissioning screener, without access to proper procedures to practice many of the graded events, according to Col. John Graver, individual mobilization augmentee to the director of Air Force Special Warfare.

“We want cadets to know what they need to prepare for, and to have the knowledge to do so safely and effectively,” Graver said. “Historically, neither the Air Force Academy nor AFROTC filled all of their commissioning slots for Special Warfare, which down the road impacts mission readiness.”

According to Graver, many cadets who are interested in special warfare train without any curriculum in place to properly prepare them for success when they go to special warfare selections.

“Another concern we have is safety,” he said. “Some facets of special warfare training and selection are inherently dangerous if not practiced correctly.

Cadets and instructors from the second of two Special Warfare Operations Courses at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, June 30, 2022. In all, 61 Air Force ROTC and Air Force Academy cadets participated in the summer courses to prepare them to be special warfare officers.

Our training materials help cadets know how to practice these exercises safely. This program includes lesson plans, risk management, and physical strengthening plan and is something that we feel can take an interested cadet and get them ready for the next level.”

The program was tested at two-week Special Warfare Orientation Courses over the summer at USAFA, concluding on July 1. More than 60 cadets took part in the approved professional development training and summer program under the guidance of more than 30 uniformed and civilian staff from USAFA, major commands, and Air Force and Army flying units.

Cadets were exposed to more than 20 topics to recruit and prepare them for selection. These included land and water fitness, troop leading procedures, small-unit tactics, decision making, and planning and executing global access, precision strike and personnel recovery missions.

Cadet Raymond Bates, from Indiana State University’s AFROTC Detachment 218 learned that “being a leader is about inspiring and trusting your team.” He said he embraced the missions where he, “had to choose the best course of action while processing a lot of information.”

“SWOC exceeded my expectations, with a better understanding of the physical standards and in-depth practical experience of the 19Z [Air Force specialty

code] to bring back to my detachment,” said Cadet Kailen Jordan, of AFROTC Detachment 005 at Auburn University, Alabama. “The course provided an opportunity to see how I lead under stress, something difficult to learn elsewhere.

SWOC was an amazing opportunity that deepened my excitement about trying to be part of the Air Force Special Warfare community.”

Cadet Maxwell Spear, of AFROTC Detachment 630, Kent State University, Ohio, enjoyed the experience getting to work with cadets of the same mindset.

“I enjoyed how the events were structured, building upon one another,” he said. “In the higher-stressed events, I learned to not worry about future events and instead live in the moment and focus on what is directly in front of me.”

Additionally, cadets can participate in Special Warfare Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Weekend, which first began last academic year.

“We want to provide interested cadets as many opportunities as possible to prepare,” Graver said. “Between weekend events, two-week courses, and hopefully many more Special Warfare Clubs at detachments, we can prepare as many cadets as are interested to succeed as special warfare officers. It’s an extremely challenging and rewarding career like no other and it’s one the country needs young men and women to go into.”

We want cadets to know what they need to prepare for, and to have the knowledge to do so safely and effectively,” — Col. John Graver, individual mobilization augmentee to the director of Air Force Special Warfare

Cadet Summer Research Program Award Winners:

By Staff Writer U.S. Air Force Academy Strategic Communications

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo — Academy officials recognized 17 cadets and their efforts to accelerate change through research and innovation during the Cadet Summer Research Program awards ceremony here, Sept. 9.

Cadet research ranged from improving medical treatment in deployed locations, exploring human behavior, immigration assimilation and space-focused agile combat employment.

“I see these research experiences as invaluable,” said Cadet 1st Class James Landy, who earned the Dean’s Summer Research Program award. “They provide us an opportunity to apply what we are learning in the classroom to a real-world issue.”

This year, 370 cadets worked on projects at military, government and civilian facilities.

“We’re teaching them problem solving and critical thinking - the same skills they’re going to need in a technologically advanced air force and space force,” said Col. Chris McClernon, the Academy’s associate dean of research. “Whether they’re a pilot, an acquisitions officer, a scientist or battle manager, they’re going to be facing problems that require the skill-sets demonstrated here in summer research.”

Judges scored cadet projects according to five categories: mission impact, evidence of critical thinking, advancement of the discipline, other significant accomplishments and clear communication of final product.

“We are answering real research problems for real research customers,” McClernon said. “Research is fun, challenging, exciting and a critical part of what we do here.”

Program participants receive credit for a military summer training program through this career-broadening assignment.

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Danielle Perea, a ground transportation support operator 773rd Logistics Readiness Squadron, receives a post-mission brief at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 12, 2022. The 773rd LRS will continue to provide support for up to 90 days after Sept. 12, based on the needs of the ASD.

By Maj. Nate Roesler Air University Public Affairs

ANCHORAGE, AK — It takes a village to raise a child, and the morning coffee

hasn’t kicked in yet. The lack of qualified bus drivers now leaves parents with one more thing to worry about in the morning, forcing parents to manage already scarce time and plan for longer commutes.

U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 773d Logistics Readiness Squadron ground transportation section are helping alleviate the bus driver shortages on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, starting Sept. 12.

JBER has agreed to assist the Anchorage School District by providing four Airmen to service previously unstaffed bus routes.

The routes supported by 773rd LRS run from JBER’s on-base housing to Aurora and Orion Elementary Schools.

The role of a ground transportation specialist is to move personnel and cargo quickly and safely. While on paper the Airmen’s mission set hasn’t changed, the drivers supporting ASD feel proud knowing that the students can have a fair chance at academic success by guaranteeing the student’s attendance.

“I have a direct impact on the education of these students,” said U.S. Air Force Airman sfspaceorbital.com

1st Class Danielle Perea, a ground transportation support operator 773rd Logistics Readiness Squadron. “This is a fairly easy day, working for these children. You could compare this task to transporting Soldiers to the Joint Mobility Complex to get ready for a jump.”

On a normal day, Airmen with the ground transportation section can be tasked with missions like driving a convoy up to Fairbanks in the winter, or moving heavy equipment across the airfield. Since the start of 2022, the 773rd LRS has logged 90,371 miles behind the wheel - a distance equivalent to 22.8 trips around the earth.

All four Airmen maintain a Class A commercial driver’s license and are qualified by ASD after familiarization training.

“This partnership shows our shared interests in meeting the needs of our families and the students,” said Col. Dave Wilson, the JBER and 673d Air Base Wing commander.

“This is about more than readiness. This signifies our commitment to being good neighbors with the city of Anchorage and helping one another through this challenging time.”

The 773rd LRS will continue to provide support for up to 90 days after Sept. 12, based on the needs of the ASD. Peterson Space Force Base

Fallen Combat Controller honored in operator strength competition By 1st Lt. Victor Reyes 24th Special Operations Wing Public Affairs

ALLEN, TX. — The World’s Strongest Operator competition was hosted in Allen, TX on Sept.

9. The event honored U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Dylan Elchin.

Elchin, a Combat Controller with the 26th Special Tactics Squadron, Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico was killed in action Nov. 27, 2018.

WSO is a strength competition designed to challenge participant’s physical limits through demanding circuits, while paying homage to their fellow fallen operator.

“We want to honor Dylan and his team, making his name last forever. As well as our nation’s operators and highlight their talent and hard work.” said Jordan Betz, 26th STS strength and conditioning coach.

Betz came up with the idea for WSO and members of the 26th STS were immediately on board.

“The response of year one was so overwhelming not only in Special Operations Forces but the first responder community. Everyone wanted to honor Dylan and compete in his name,” added Betz.

More than two dozen U.S. Air Force, Army Special Forces and Special Tactics personnel, firefighters, FBI, SWAT and law enforcement agents and pilots participated in the competition.

“Dylan loved to lift and some of my best memories of him are in the squadron gym. He’s the guy everyone loved having around,” recalled U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Robert Craft, a Combat Controller with the 26th STS and friend of Elchin.

“I knew it was going to be the most unique and honorable way that we could keep Dylan’s legacy alive and show his family the community will always remember him,” added Craft.

Attendees and participants spectate U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Robert Craft, 26th Special Tactics Squadron operator, as he performs a deadlift at the World’s Strongest Operator competition in Allen, Texas, Sep. 9, 2022. Craft and other operators competed in multiple events at the competition, testing their physical strength and skills among operators and tactical first responders.

Members participating tackled five events, testing their strength through a variety of high-caliber challenges. Exercises chosen by the WSO panel demonstrate the power and endurance needed to be an elite operator.

SOF personnel must be ready at anytime, anywhere. Elchin was no stranger to these types of physically and mentally demanding challenges.

Technical Sgt. James Tarbutton, Airborne NCOIC for the 24th Special Operations Wing Special Tactics Training Squadron and a close friend of Elchin, reflected on his memory recalling, “Elchin was never the biggest, fastest, or strongest. However, he was a competitor, always gave it a hundred percent, and had a motor that would not quit.”
