By Senior Airman Haley N. Blevins Space Base Delta 2 Public Affairs

BUCKLEY SPACE FORCE BASE, COLO. — The 544th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group was activated Sept. 26, 2022 during an activation and realignment ceremony at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Lowry, Colorado.

Previously located at Peterson Space Force Base, Colo., the 544th ISRG delivers global, space-related information to national agencies and warfighting commands, provides policy guidance and functional assistance to assigned organizations, and develops mission-based facilities and communication.

The 544th ISRG’s mission is to lead the Air Force in executing overhead signals intelligence, infrared operations and tradecraft development to achieve mission

outcome success in all circumstances.

Signals intelligence plays a vital role in our national security by providing our leaders with critical information they need to defend our country, save lives, and advance U.S. goals and alliances globally.

This activation ceremony was more than a single group- realigning the 566th Intelligence Squadron and Detachment 1 from under the 373rd ISRG and into the 544th ISRG. These realignments are one of many efficient ways our intelligence community remains ready across the intelligence space.

“The 566th has its roots very deep in Buckley’s soil dating all the way back to 1944,” said Lt. Col. James Nolan, 566th IS commander. “Now we get to launch a new branch of those roots as we stand up the 544th ISRG. We are looking to make our predecessors of this group and squadrons proud and do the best for our

Airmen and Guardians going forward in the future.”

In addition to the realignment of the 566th IS and Detachment 1, two squadrons were reactivated under the 544th ISRG. The 26th IS was reactivated for the first time since 2006 and the 18th IS was reactivated since its deactivation in 2020.

According to Col. Craig Miller, 70th ISR Wing commander- times are changing. The Air Force must continue to adapt to these ever-changing issues by identifying weak points and refining them to remain a versatile force.

“The change won’t be perfect, but we’ll adapt to balance risk to force and risk to mission,” said Miller.

“This change creates a synchronization in their work and an intimate understanding of the mission sets that are here at Aerospace Data Facility Colorado.”

Space Force’s GPS operations squadron announces safeguards to civil PNT signal

By Mike Slater Space Base Delta 1 Public Affairs

SCHRIEVER SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — Lt. Col. Robert Wray, 2nd Space Operations Squadron commander, announced his unit’s mission will include safeguarding civil Position, Navigation and Timing signals going forward during a presentation at the 62nd Meeting of the Civil GPS Service Interface Committee on Sept. 20, 2022.

The announcement represents a shift in how 2nd SOPS does business with other U.S. government agencies and users in general.

“We provide GPS to the world, not just to the U.S. Armed Forces,” said Wray. “So, it makes sense for us to support the larger section of government and non-government users.”

Wray unveiled 2nd SOPS’ new mission statement, which reflects the shift in operational mindset: Space warfighters delivering position, navigation, and timing to optimize civil, commercial, and international utility while employing Navigation Warfare to joint and coalition operations spanning all domains.

“I want to improve relationships with external partners, civil being chief among those,” said Wray.

“2nd SOPS will need inputs from customers to codify their information needs. Our GPS Warfighter Collaboration Cell is directly interacting with customers to get feedback on those needs.”

Wray also gave a glimpse into the future of how the Next Generation Operational Control Segment, or OCX, will enable 2nd SOPS to better meet its civil support goals.

“OCX will enable 2nd SOPS to command and control all the available distinct GPS signals: military code and the L1C, L2C and L5 civil signals,” said Wray. “We want to have our processes set before OCX is online, through collaboration and transparency with customers, partners and stakeholders.

I want them to come see our ops floor, come see what we do, what we can offer, ask questions and share their needs.”

OCX is expected to be online in Fall of next year and will allow 2nd SOPS to provide the modernized, full spectrum of the GPS signals.

NextGen 2.0 helmets on the way to security forces across DAF

By Debbie Aragon Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AFNS) — Security forces Airmen at installations across the Department of the Air Force are set to don the Security Forces NextGen Helmet 2.0 later this year.

Following a recent contract award by the Air Force Security Forces Center, Helmet 2.0 includes the ability to mount a wider variety of accessories, features bolt-on accessory rails and a night vision goggle mount that’s easy to adjust or replace, and a chinstrap extender for gas masks.

The 2.0 effort is part of AFSFC’s “replacement through attrition program,” and builds on the functionality of the SF NextGen 1.0 helmet released in 2020, said Master Sgt. John Sutherland, individual protective equipment program manager at the center.

“In modern society, we’re all familiar with the urge to update our phones to the latest and greatest model, but this hasn’t translated to some of the most important things in our profession, like ballistic helmets,” Sutherland said.

“The rate of technological advancements today is astounding, and produces emerging threats and requirements rapidly,” Sutherland said. “As the world’s preeminent air power, we make great strides to update and upgrade airframes and other operational technologies, so it only makes sense to modernize the equipment used by those that defend them.”

Part of that modernization includes listening to and implementing, where possible, feedback from security forces Airmen across the enterprise.

“Feedback from the field is critical and is actually the reason that some of the characteristics for the 2.0 helmet were developed,” Sutherland said.

“No amount of testing or technical evaluations will cover everything because at the end of the day, only Defenders know what Defenders need.”

The Air Force Security Forces Center is rolling out the NextGen 2.0 helmet later this year with several improvements to include bolt-on accessory rails and night vision goggle mount, a chinstrap extender for gas mask use and more accessory mounting options. The effort is part of the center’s “replace through attrition program” that builds on the functionality of the NextGen 1.0 helmet released in 2020.

“The field has multiple avenues of approach from surveys, direct visits to installations and open lines of communication like quarterly teleconferences and emails,” said Master Sgt. Raymond Santiago, AFSFC’s security forces individual equipment manager.

The AFSFC’s S-4 Individual Equipment section is a customer service entity and relies on the enterprise to provide feedback and submit issues, Santiago added.

“We can’t grow, if we don’t know,” he said.

“The best way to get feedback from the field is by putting our equipment through real-life practical scenarios that a Defender might face in every part of their career from year one all the way through retirement,” said Tech.

Sgt. Travis Hillard, Defender instructor supervisor with the 343rd Training Squadron’s Security Forces Apprentice course in San Antonio.

Hillard, other instructors and students were instrumental in testing functionality before AFSFC gave the modified helmet the thumbs-up.

The Airmen put the helmets through “rigorous testing” conducted during field training which included mounted and dismounted operations, low crawl/high crawl and a variety of other air base defense training objectives, Sutherland said.

“These helmets were soaked in sweat and caked in sand, and after hours of use, each tester was fitted with a gas mask and jacket to ensure compatibility with the helmet,” he added.

Participants also completed an extensive survey on the equipment and its functionality.

The NextGen helmet program is just one part of the greater AFSFC’s individual protective equipment effort to standardize and modernize security forces equipment across the Air and Space Forces.

“Helmet 2.0 is only one aspect of the initiative,” Sutherland said.

“The Modular Scalable Vest and Female Body Armor … Model Defender which will provide equipment such as pouches, holsters, duty belts and more for each and every member. These efforts ensure that Defenders can expect technologically relevant and high-quality gear no matter where they are performing their mission.”

“The need to innovate gear is important for the protection of our Airmen and Guardians,” Santiago said.

Hilliard echoed those sentiments.

“It’s incredibly important to constantly update our equipment to meet both modern threats, and to best utilize the constantly upgrading technology available to security forces protecting installations around the globe,” he said.

Consistently rolling out new and updated equipment across the enterprise “helps create the elite weapon systems Defenders need to be in the modern operating environment.”

“Th reats are increasing and evolving so it’s critical our team provides the enterprise with the latest technology to ensure mission capabilities aren’t hindered and our greatest of asset are protected,” Santiago said. “At AFSFC, we continue to collect feedback and upgrade Defender gear to defeat or deter any enemies that threaten our installations.”

“Helmet 2.0 is a big win for security forces but it only plays a part in bigger things to come for our Defenders,” he said. “We’ll continue these efforts with an agile approach while keeping an eye on emerging requirements and new technologies.”

“In five years’ time, we may be fielding IPE solutions that we’ve only seen in science fiction a few years ago.”

National Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, showcases and honors the many contributions Hispanic Americans have made to the Defense Department and the nation.

By Airman 1st Class Tiffany Del Oso 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The Defense Department honors the many contributions Hispanic Americans have made in defense of the nation during National Hispanic Heritage Month and throughout the year.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jose Velazquez, a noncommissioned officer in charge of mental health with the 325th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron, works to ensure airmen with different cultural backgrounds feel heard, safe and at home.

Velazquez moved to the United States from Mexico City when his father’s career provided the opportunity.

“It was tough having to leave [friends behind] because at 10 years old, right, that’s your primary focus,” said Velazquez. “The language barrier was probably my biggest challenge. Not only was I trying to make new friends, but I was also trying to learn a language.”

For many immigrants, the shock of being immersed in a vastly different culture can also be very intimidating.

“I expected for people to not be as inviting or kind, especially because I didn’t know the language,” explained Velazquez. “Everyone was always super welcoming and nice, even when I didn’t know [what they were saying] they would always try to help me.

I’m very thankful for that because a lot of times when it comes to immigrants, whether they’re from Mexico or other countries, they’re not necessarily always accepted.”

Velazquez explained that although his transition into the U.S. came with a lot of challenges, it opened up a lot of opportunities, including the opportunity to join the Air Force.

“I had a couple of friends that had already started the enlistment process, and, when they started telling me about it, I was interested so I went to a recruiter to ask some more questions,” explained Velazquez.

“

Nine years later, Velazquez oversees an entire mental health f light. This involves Everyone was managing patient care always super schedules, coordinating higher levels of care, dewelcoming and nice, ployment and PCS cleareven when I didn’t ances, and maintaining a certification as an alknow [what they cohol and drug abuse counselor. were saying]...”

“He’s taught me so many things that I can use as [a leader],” said Capt. Bethany Young, the squadron’s interim fl ight commander for mental health, the squadron’s interim flight commander for mental health. “He had so much patience for me when I got here. I feel like his background made him more prepared to have that patience with me and not get really frustrated when I didn’t know things.

USSPACECOM senior leader speaks to U.S. Air Force Academy cadets about defending the space domain

Your next chapter is worth writing.

U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Tsuyoshi Shinzato

Master Gunnery Sgt. Scott Stalker, U.S. Space Command, command senior enlisted leader, briefs cadets about the space domain at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Sept. 20, 2022. He focused on leadership, joint force integration, and working with commercial and international partners.

By Staff Writer U.S. Space Command

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — U.S. Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sgt. Scott Stalker, U.S. Space Command, Command Senior Enlisted Leader, visited the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 20, 2022.

Stalker spoke to a group of about 30 Air Force Academy cadets who represent the next generation of future Air and Space Force leaders. Stalker outlined U.S. Space Command’s primary mission sets to deliver global space capabilities to joint and combined forces and to protect and defend the space domain.

“The space domain impacts almost every aspect of our daily lives, from navigation systems, to communications, and even the global economy,” said Stalker.

“The preservation and protection of our space network is crucial to our way of life.”

Also, Stalker discussed the future of space, to include partnering with commercial and interagency organizations, alongside all instruments of national power, to address our mutual challenges decreasing space debris and countering competitor activity.

“The way he presented space was extremely motivating,” said Cadet 1st Class Khava Tsarni. “I was surprised on how often we work with the commercial sector and the added capabilities that the private sector brings to our space mission.”

Stalker briefed the cadets on several sfspaceorbital.com

other topics as well, discussing elements of good leadership, and the importance of good character, as well as the integration of the joint forces in a combatant command.

“If we don’t develop our people, we won’t be able to deter, deliver, defend, or defeat with maximum effectiveness,” said Stalker.

After the event, several cadets provided their feedback and impressions.

“I really like how he focused on leadership,” said Cadet 1st Class Paulo Martinez-Riviere, who is studying to be a developmental engineer. “As a leader, you must maintain awareness of how your team is doing, and what each team member brings to the table, so that you can leverage all their skillsets for better effect.”

“I agree with his message about developing and investing in people, and how this is critical to producing better leaders,” said Cadet 1st Class Keaton Koenig, a future pilot with dreams of getting a master’s degree in Aerospace Propulsion.

According to Statista.com there were 4,852 active artificial satellites orbiting the Earth as of Jan. 1, 2022. U.S. Space Command projects over 100,000 additional commercial license requests for orbital satellites in the next decade.

“As global reliance on space continues to grow, U.S. Space Command will need the best and the brightest to defend the space domain to ensure there is never a day without space,” said Stalker.
