Lucas Hash, Program Management Office program manager, dance during the Schriever Air Force Base “Seasonal Celebrations around the World” holiday party at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Dec. 1, 2017. Cash was one of several raffle winners to take home a prize that night.

By 2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

More than 170 of Schriever’s Airmen and family members enjoyed food, prizes and dancing, while embracing community during the “Seasonal Celebrations Around the World” holiday party, at the Peterson Air Force Base Club, Dec. 1.

The thematic party invited all attendees to

kick off the holidays by embracing holiday spirit in every sense of the word, as well as every cultural interpretation.

The event feature a buffet-style array of food stations, representing different countries and cultures with each table. Stations were spread out along the edges of the room, encouraging guests to wander and mingle.

“I liked the theme and the stations with

the different kinds of food,” said Chaplain (Maj.) Martin Adamson, 50th Space Wing chaplain. “It is hard when there is not a script or program to guide people through thematic elements of the night, but in terms of the setting for socializing, it worked well.

People were able to mingle from food station to food station.”

Joint space forces restructure, AFSPC commander becomes JFSCC

By Air Force Space Command, Public Affairs Gen. Jay Raymond, Air Force Space Command commander, became the Joint Force Space Component commander in a ceremony Dec. 1, taking operational responsibility for employment of all joint space forces.

Gen. John Hyten, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, presided over the ceremony, inactivating U.S. Strategic Command’s Joint Functional Component Command for Space. The inactivation is part of a broader USSTRATCOM restructure of its components to build a coherent and streamlined warfighting structure to improve the nation’s space warfighting effectiveness, which ultimately enhances the lethality of U.S. joint forces.

The ceremony marked the initial operating capability for the new structure.

“This is a significant milestone,” said Raymond. “We are now focused on further integrating space…on taking tried and proven methods of joint warfighting, and applying them to the space domain to ensure normalization across all mission sets.”

The High Frontier honor guard that provides detail services to Schriever and Peterson Air Force Base, is unique. It is unique in the sense it is comprised of members from Air CSMNG CSMNG Force bases within the front range including Schriever, Cheyenne Mountain and Peterson AFB. The rotation for a ceremonial guardsman is six months in active service, followed by six months of stand-by duty.

The previous rotation leads two weeks of training to include hundreds of push-ups, flutter kicks, iron chairs and cherry pickers every day. We had those two weeks to learn and be completely ready to perform colors, retirements and veteran, retiree and active duty ceremonies flawlessly. I performed two details the day I graduated.

When you see a member of the base honor guard, it is usually at some type of official ceremony. They come up to their designated position, present or post the colors and then leave. What you do not see is what happens in the training building or beyond the confines of the base.

Let me provide you with a few important details: the High Frontier Honor Guard is responsible for over 93,000 square miles, which encompasses parts of Colorado and some of the western portion of Kansas. The team consists of 13 individuals from the front range of all different ranks and Air Force Specialty Codes. I am proud to have been selected to be one of those 13 members during the summer rotation.

One honorary service provided outside the confines of the base is military funeral honors, the High Frontier Honor Guard’s primary duty.

I feel that anyone who has served in the military should have some understanding of what it entails to provide honors for a deceased military member, whether they are a veteran, retiree or active duty.

We have seen it in the movies when a flag is presented and the presenter states, “On behalf of the President of the United States, the United States Air Force and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service.”

It is different; however, when you have to deliver these words to a grieving individual.

Grief varies from one person to the next and is always painful to witness. Anyone can memorize the speeches that ceremonial guardsmen deliver, but to be able to deliver them with genuine empathy and to truly embody the creed in the performance of your duties takes professionalism.

To know that you are that family’s potential last impression of the United States Air Force is a humbling experience. It also instills a matter of pride, not for one’s self, but for their service. Many of the individuals we laid to rest in our time were members of a great generation of heroes; people who paved the way for all of us serving today. In a sense, I Vin# G3015396 – 181440A

always felt that being able to lay them to rest with dignity and respect was a form of saying thank you.

It feels as if the six and a half months I was on rotation just began last week, but as I write this, it is already over.

In that time, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with 12 fine professionals whose time in service varied from just over a year to 16 years. While 13 of us was a good number, but there were simply not enough of us to handle the volume of request.

Rank was not a factor in our dealings with each other. What mattered was that we were a team, and we had a job that demanded our trust in one another.

Being a member of a base honor guard is not an easy assignment and should not be viewed as such, but I can say it was one of the most rewarding duties I have been assigned.

It ranks right up there with my time spent as a military training instructor.

I have now transitioned to ‘stand-by’ status with the honor guard. While I did not want to leave, and I would do another rotation in a heartbeat; the one thing I would pass on to those looking to become a ceremonial guardsman is — be ready to work hard and not ask for anything in return. Being in a duty such as this requires you to be selfless.

To the leaders who get tasked with sending their Airmen to honor guard, I say this — I know it is not easy losing people from the mission, but send your best and brightest.

Send your most fit. Send someone who wants to do this.

At times it can be a physically demanding and mentally draining job. Your Airmen are potentially the last impression these families will have of the Air Force. They must be able to handle it.

Afterwards, Airmen spent time wrapping gifts for over 200 local children from nearby villages as part of Operation Julemand. Operation Julemand was first started in 1959 by base service officer Capt. John McTamney, and Airman 1st Class Delbert Cox, a clerk, when they decided that since they couldn’t be at home with their own children, they would bring a little happiness to the children in the local area.

‘Candyland’ brings joy to Team Schriever

By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Snowflakes, lights and Christmas trees lit up the scene during the 17th annual Children’s Holiday Party at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Dec. 2.

The 50th Force Support Squadron hosted the event to unite Schriever Airmen and families for the holiday season.

“I developed the concept for the holiday party when I worked as a youth center director in the Netherlands,” said Thea Wasche, 50th FSS deputy commander. “After that, I took the idea to all the bases I have gone. Here at Schriever, we don’t have many facilities, but we do have community and family events we take pride in. This was definitely the most attended Children’s Holiday Party.”

Approximately 1,800 attendees helped spread holiday cheer while participating in numerous games and activities.

The party featured activities including a photo booth, a reindeer toss game, balloon artists, bean bag toss, ice pond fishing and a bounce house. Additionally, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo representatives attended, drawing in a large crowd.

Pony rides were especially popular among the younger children. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus visited the party, which sent children running to greet them.

“We had a lot more activities compared to previous years,” said 1st Lt. Walker Fickling, 50th FSS sustainment services flight chief and event lead. “What was unique this time is we had a caricaturist which was a pretty big hit.”

More than 90 volunteers assisted with set-up, tear-down and activities during the event. Volunteers also expressed how much they enjoyed helping out.

“This was my first time working at the Christmas Holiday Party and it was a great experience overall,” said Airman 1st Class Magdalena Kocheva, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron commander support staff. “I worked at the photo booth, which turned out to be the busiest spot at the festival. Even though there was a huge line throughout the day, it was rewarding to see how happy people were when leaving.”

“I would tell everybody to take part and have fun while volunteering, since it was a great chance to meet my co-workers’ families and see all their kids having a blast,” she added.

According to Fickling, preparation for the event typically takes several months.

Don’t be a scrooge for t he holidays Airman Adrianna Barelas, 4th Space Operations Squadron system administrator, displays her Grinch side for the holiday season at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Dec. 1, 2017. Many things can cause stress during the holidays, including financial strain from gift buying, social pressure and expectations based on tradition.

By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

“Bah Humbug!”

Ebenezer Scrooge’s signature catchphrase has become well known in popular culture as an expression of distaste towards holiday festivities, but one does not need to be a scrooge to have negative feelings associated with the holiday season.

“The holidays are a very special time of year, but all the added activity, shopping and togetherness can lead to significant stress,” said Ruth Moore, Airman and Family Readiness Center community readiness consultant, and speaker for the “Managing Holiday Stress” class Dec. 1. “This stress can affect your health, and can sabotage the quality and quantity of sleep you enjoy as well.”

Moore’s class highlighted the various factors that can stress someone out during the holidays, and provided a list of ways to help cope.

Some of these include humming a jingle, planting a tree, keeping a journal and practicing breathing slowly.

“Go out and try new things,” Moore said.

“Make a schedule and remember it’s ok to say no.”

Additionally, the class featured nine ways to beat the “Bah Humbugs” 1. Relax — Take time out of the busy holiday schedule to relax.

2. Plan and prioritize — Don’t clutter or over plan, develop a calendar for specific shopping days, cooking days, visiting friends and other events.

3. Set realistic expectations — Keep a level head and realistic output to avoid stress.

4. Budget — Money is often cited as the number one stress factor during the holidays; set a spending limit and stick to it. Seek out holiday events that are free.

5. Don’t force festivities — Sometimes embracing the blues is a good thing, as it provides time to take an in-depth look at one’s problems.

Do not force certain feelings for certain occasions and blanket over negative ones.

6. Be healthful — The holiday season can be tempting, do not abandon healthy habits for the sake of festivities. Getting plenty of sleep and eating healthy will improve one’s mood.

7. Volunteer — Volunteering can counterbal-

ance feelings of sadness and depression. It can help combat loneliness and give one purpose.

8. Be introspective — While the holidays often place one in social situations, paying attention to inner thoughts and feelings can help address stress.

9. Start new traditions — Starting a new tradition can keep festivities fresh.

“We always think, ‘we should do this’ or ‘we should do that,’ but it’s important to remember you don’t have to do everything all at once,” Moore said. “It’s important to live in the present moment. Sometimes, we are so busy running around we forget to stop and enjoy the holidays for what they are.”

Staff Sgt. Tanya Russell, 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron mission planner, attended Moore’s class and shared what makes her stressed during the holidays.

“Money always stresses me out, every year,” Russell said. “People always feel obligated to put a lot of money towards things that are not necessary, there’s always pressure to give more than you have.”

She said the class provided new insight on dealing with stress she can share with her Airmen.

“It really helps to know other people deal with similar kinds of stress,” Russell said.

“The class highlights how the holidays can be a stressful time, especially for young people, and gave me resources to help others.”

Taking a proactive approach and adopting ways to cope with holiday stress factors can make the festivities brighter for everybody.

“Stressed spelled backwards is desserts,” Moore said.

It’s always important to treat oneself.

“Somedays you eat a salad and go to the gym, somedays you eat cupcakes and refuse to wear pants, it’s called balance,” laughed Moore.

She emphasized the various helping agencies available for Schriever Airmen and their families, such as Military OneSouce and Military and Family Life Counselors.

“We have many on and off base resources,” Moore said. “If you ever need help reaching out, we can assist.”

For more information about how to manage holiday stress and future classes, call the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 5673920 or call 567-HELP (4357).

Ruth Moore, Airman and Family Readiness Center community readiness consultant, speaks to attendees during her “Managing Holiday Stress” class at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Dec. 1, 2017. Moore’s class covered topics such as 101 ways to cope with stress and nine ways to beat the “Bah Humbugs.”

Schriever FD gives back to Harvey survivors

By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

‘Tis the season for giving.

The Schriever Air Force Base Fire Department recently provided a family affected by Hurricane Harvey with household items, a Thanksgiving meal and days of emotional support.

Stephen Hardman, Schriever AFB FD firefighter, said the firefighters wanted to try and find somebody to adopt for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The process started in early November, and with help from a close family friend of Hardman and teacher, the two were able to connect with a family of five who recently moved to Colorado Springs from Houston due to the devastation from Hurricane Harvey.

With two weeks until Thanksgiving, the fire department quickly gathered and donated various household items like dishes, a slow cooker, silverware and clothes for the family’s children.

“The father worked on an oil rig, and that’s a very specific job to the Houston area,” said Matthew Clark, Schriever AFB FD lead firefighter. “We wanted to be there to help them get on their feet.”

Hardman and Clark presented the items to the family Nov. 22.

“The family was not expecting it,” Hardman and Clark added. “They were very, very thankful.”

In addition, the fire department provided a Thanksgiving meal courtesy of Bourbon Brothers with the funds raised throughout the year, like the fire department’s annual T-shirt sale.

Hardman and Clark, along with other members of the fire department, provided a Thanksgiving meal and household supplies to a family affected by Hurricane Harvey and plan to help them at Christmas.

“We just wanted to give them the opportunity to have a decent Thanksgiving meal and not have to worry about spending the money or prepare anything,” Hardman said.

“It was an elaborate meal, and I was very impressed.”

The family wrote thank you cards for the firefighters to show their appreciation.

Hardman said despite the mother not being there to accept the gifts, she was blown away Schriever members’ support.

“We heard she was in tears because of the

overall support we gave her and her family,” Hardman said. “It was very touching to hear.”

Clark explained firefighters do not usually witness the positive impacts of what they do as a team.

“As a firefighter, you see people on their worst days, but you never get to see the good things,” he said. “From this aspect, we got to see the smiles on their faces.”

Hardman and Clark are not stopping at Thanksgiving.

“They lost everything, moved out here and didn’t have any jobs,” Hardman said. ”We thought, ‘let’s see if we can come up with something to help them and the kids out for Christmas.’”

The department has begun collecting Christmas gifts, like toy guns for their first grade son, and dolls for their kindergarten daughter.

“It’s something easy for us to do so the parents don’t have to worry so much and can make sure their kids have a decent Christmas,” Hardman said.

Hardman and Clark plan to stay in contact with the family after the holidays.

“We’ve established a connection with them, and they have been very thankful,” Hardman said.

The two added this experience has helped them appreciate the work they do on and off scene.

“It’s nice to see this aspect, because most of the time, we go to a car accident or a house fire, and we just help them in that moment,” Hardman said. “We don’t get to help them rebuild or anything, so it’s nice to actually see their reactions.”

Maj. Gen. Whiting takes command of 14th Air Force

By Maj. Cody Chiles 14th Air Force Public Affairs

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Air Force Maj. Gen. Stephen N. Whiting took command of 14th Air Force and became the Deputy Joint Force Space Component Commander during a reorganization and change of command ceremony at the Joint Space Operations Center, Dec. 1.

Air Force Gen. John W. Raymond, commander, of Air Force Space Command, also assumed command over former Joint Functional Component Command for Space forces and became dual hatted as the Joint Force Space Component Commander during the ceremony.

Air Force Gen. John E. Hyten, commander, of U.S. Strategic Command, presided over the ceremony, which officially reorganized joint space forces beneath USSTRATCOM. The reorganization is part of a broader USSTRATCOM initiative to build a coherent and streamlined warfighting structure to improve the nation’s space warfighting effectiveness, which ultimately enhances the lethality of U.S. joint forces.

“When you study the history of this command, you will see a pattern — one in which we never stay stagnant. We adapt, we adjust and we evolve. That is what we are doing here today,” said Hyten. “The question on everyone’s mind today is, ‘Why are we changing?’ The answer is the same reason for all the previous iterations of Strategic Command — the threat environment changed and we changed with it.”

Prior to the change, Whiting served as the JFSCC Integration Team Lead for AFSPC; leading the standup of the JFSCC construct.

During the ceremony, Whiting emphasized the important warfighting advantage the United States gains from space capabilities and how he will continue to focus on the ability to fight tonight when called upon.

“We will also be rigorously focused on our ability to fight tonight when called upon. First, we recognize that other members of the joint force are fighting today and tonight as we speak … in harm’s way … so we will consider it our moral duty to provide them the space effects they need,” said Whiting. “We will have plans and tactics in place to deal with today’s most likely and most dangerous threats in space. We do not seek a conflict in space, but we will be ready if one comes to us.”

As commander, Whiting leads more than 12,000 personnel responsible for providing strategic missile warning, nuclear command, control and communication, position, navigation

U.S. Air Force Gen. John Raymond, commander of Air Force Space Command, passes the 14th Air Force guide-on to Maj. Gen. Stephen Whiting, the new 14th Air Force commander, during a change of command ceremony, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Dec. 1, 2017. In addition to the 14th Air Force change of command, the Joint Functional Component Command for Space was deactivated and the Joint Force Space Component Command was activated. The JFSCC will conduct joint space operations to protect and defend the Joint Operations Area and deliver assured theater and global effects in accordance with U.S. Strategic Command’s intent and national and Combatant Commander objectives.

and timing, space situational awareness, satellite operations, space launch and range operations.

As JFSCC deputy, Whiting directs all assigned and attached USSTRATCOM space forces on behalf of the JFSCC; providing tailored, responsive and synchronized theater and global space effects in support of national security and combatant commander objectives. He is also responsible for protecting and defending critical U.S. and allied space capabilities.

Whiting is a 1989 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy.

He is a space operations officer, and has commanded the 13th Space Warning Squadron, Clear AFS, Alaska; the 614th Air and Space Operations Center/Joint Space Operations Center, Vandenberg AFB, California; and the 21st Space Wing, Peterson AFB, Colorado.

“It’s great to be back at Vandenberg and to be back on the beautiful central coast. This is truly a humbling day. I want to thank General Hyten and General Raymond for placing this trust in us and for giving us this amazing opportunity,” said Whiting. “I’m honored to be joining the 14th Air Force family, and to be a part of the standup of the Joint Force Space Component Command.”

Whiting’s staff assignments include positions at Headquarters, United States Air Force; United States Space Command; United States Strategic Command; the Chief of Naval Operations’ Strategic Studies Group; the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense; and Headquarters, Air Force Space Command.

Keep your holidays from going up in flames

By Schriever Fire Department The holiday season represents a time for family festivities and good cheer. What few of us consider is the holiday season is a time when there is an increased risk of home fires. According to Schriever Air Force Base Fire Emergency Services, many households engage in holiday activities that serve as some of the leading causes of U.S. home fires, including cooking. Christmas trees, candle usage and holiday decorations significantly contribute to seasonal causes of home fires. Add the hectic nature of the holidays, and the chance for home fires grows significantly.

“As everyone gets busier during the holidays, we often become rushed, distracted or tired,” said Schriever AFB Fire Department Inspector Paul Macek. “That’s when home fires are more likely to occur.”

Fortunately, with added awareness and some minor adjustments to holiday cooking and decorating, the season can remain festive and safe for everybody.

“By taking some preventive steps and following simple rules of thumb, most home fires can be prevented,” said Macek.

With unattended cooking as the leading cause of U.S. home fires and home fire injuries, Macek advises to staying in the kitchen while frying, grilling, boiling or broiling food. Most cooking fires involve the stovetop, keep anything that can catch fire away from it, and turn off the stove when you leave the kitchen, even if it’s for a short period of time.

If simmering, baking or roasting food, check it regularly and use a timer. Schriever Fire Emergency Services also suggests creating a “kid-free zone” of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot food and drinks are prepared or carried.

Candles are widely used in homes throughout the holidays, December being the peak month for home candle fires. The nonprofit National Fire Protection Association’s statistics show two of every five home decoration fires are started by candles.

Schriever Fire Emergency Services encourages residents to consider using flameless candles. However, if you do use traditional candles, keep them at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn, and remember to blow them out when you leave the room or go to bed. Use candle holders that are sturdy, won’t tip over and placed on uncluttered surfaces. Avoid using candles in the bedroom where more than one-third of U.S. candle fires begin, or other areas where people may fall asleep. Never leave a child or pet alone in a room with a burning candle.

According to NFPA, U.S. fire departments respond to an

This holiday season, make sure to pay attention to potential fire hazards, such as open flame candles and simmering, baking or roasting food.

average of 210 home structure fires caused by Christmas trees per year. Three of every ten are caused by electrical problems, and one in four result from a heat source that’s too close to the tree.

Schriever Emergency Services offers the following advice for picking, placing and lighting the tree: • If you have an artificial tree, make sure it’s labeled, certified or identified by the manufacturer as fire-retardant.

• If you choose a fresh tree, make sure the green needles don’t fall off when touched; before placing it in the stand, cut two inches from the base of the trunk. Add water to the tree stand, and ensure to water it daily.

• Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit, and is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, space heaters, radiators, candles and heat vents or lights.

• Use lights that have the label of a recognized testing laboratory, and make sure you know whether they are designed for indoor or outdoor use.

• Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords, or loose bulb connections. Read manufacturer’s instructions for number of light strands to connect.

• Never use lit candles to decorate a tree.

• Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving the home or going to bed.

• After Christmas, get rid of the tree. Dried-out trees are a fire hazard and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside the home.

• Bring outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards and make them last longer.

By following these fire prevention tips and measures, you can greatly reduce the risk of fire in your home, and enjoy a safe holiday season.

“The holidays can quickly turn from joyful to tragic when a fire occurs,” Macek said. “By taking simple precautions, people can avoid potential fire hazards, and make this time of year a healthy and happy one.”

Candyland From page 5 “I started planning for it the end of September,” Fickling said. “This was my third time attending, but first time coordinating everything for it. Planning every element did get tricky at times, but having support and working with other sections helped to ensure everything ran smoothly. It was all worth it, especially because everybody seemed to have a great time.”

Although planning was extensive, the event brought the community together for a time of fun and games.

“It was great seeing everyone’s reactions,” Wasche said. “Kids saying thank you and hearing feedback from those who attended was my favorite part. We also had the best support yet from group and base leadership.”

The next major event the 50th FSS will host is the Spring Fling scheduled for March 24. Anyone interested in volunteering for future events or for more information, can contact the 50th FSS Marketing Department at 567-4740.

Space Tactics Internship inspires creativity among operators Air Force Space Command Public Affairs PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— Space operations groups from across Air Force Space Command have collaborated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory on a Space Tactics Internship that allows space operators to work with scholastic experts in a research environment.

Col. Troy Endicott, executive officer to the AFSPC commander, initiated the program in 2016 when he was the 21st Operations Group commander at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The program accepts 15 total AFSPC operators a year from the 21st Space Wing, the 50th Space Wing at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, and the 460th SW at Buckley AFB, Colorado.

“This internship is a great opportunity to take our sharpest space tacticians and expand their thinking, to envision their operations in a warfighting domain, and be taught from the best to address growing threats,” Endicott said. “When we originally discussed goals of the program with MIT LL, I asked that they return our operators dissatisfied with our current way of doing business, more energized and motivated to think and lead their peers differently.”

“I’m so pleased with the program and am thrilled to see space operators across AFSPC growing as tactical warfighters,” he added.

The Space Tactics Internship is a fourweek program where interns receive more than 120 hours of hands-on instruction with MIT LL operators, engineers and analysts at the Lexington Command, Control and Collaboration Testbed and Lincoln Space Surveillance Complex, both located in Massachusetts.

MIT LL is a federally funded research and development laboratory that is aimed at creating solutions to problems critical to

Senior Airman Jake Pullen, 16th Space Control Squadron staff evaluator, at Peterson AFB, believes this internship is vital to the SMF. The objective of the SMF is to advance the knowledge and skills of AFSPC space operators to better function in today’s contested space environment.

“We must use every resource we have available to propel the mission forward,” said Pullen. “Attending the internship is one of the best ways to do that.”

The interactions between space operators across the spectrum increase awareness of

mission possibilities while allowing a creative and critical thinking approach to evolve space war fighting tactics.

“The skills and knowledge I have obtained from the internship have allowed me to find new ways to encourage my fellow Airmen to dig deep into the system and identify previously unrealized potential,” said Pullen.

“The relationship built with MIT LL has also allowed the crossflow of information and resources, making our system and personnel better prepared to complete the mission.”

Capt. Stefanie Coward, 1st Space Operations Squadron deputy flight commander, at Schriever AFB, who attended the internship at a different time, went further adding that her mentors from the program are actively helping her now with some new projects.

“Getting the opportunity to step away from operations and talk to people who aren’t operators helps me to approach problems in a different way,” Coward said. “It allows us to be creative with how we solve problems now.”

Not only did Coward and Pullen both get to work with professionals within MIT LL, attending the space tactics internship allowed them to work with other space operators from across AFSPC. “This internship is one of the few opportunities we get as space operators to interact with people who work in different mission sets,” Coward said. “It was great getting to know them and how they work.”

As the program moves into a new year, Coward stressed that all space operators should take up the opportunity to learn at MIT LL. “This program provides value to every space operator who attends because the lab has such broad reaching mission areas and capabilities they are constantly working with,” she said. “People should absolutely take advantage of this incredible opportunity.”

Air Force Special Operations medics delivered care and rebuilt infrastructure after Caribbean hurricanes

U.S. Air Force photo by Capt. Ian Matthews

By Peter Holstein Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — In the wake of the devastation left by Hurricane Irma this September, disaster relief efforts mobilized across the Caribbean as soon as the storm returned to sea. Small teams of Air Force Special Operations medics from the 27th Special Operations Wing were among the first disaster relief teams on the ground, executing a mission for which they are uniquely suited.

The scope of destruction was so extreme it was immediately obvious that many islands needed a massive relief and recovery operation, but details were spotty in the days after the storm. Air Force aircraft, logistics support and medics would all be critical to recovery efforts, but these large-scale deployments could not start without a better understanding of the situation on the ground. The 27th SOW medics deployed to help lay the groundwork to bring additional assets to bear for major relief and recovery efforts, as well as to provide initial medical aid to people in need.

Master Sgt. Richard Hogan, Jr. an AFSOC Independent Duty Medical Technician/paramedic was one of the first U.S. service members to deploy after Irma moved out. As Hogan and his unit watched the storms on TV and read daily intelligence reports, they knew chances were good they would be called on to help.

“We were tasked to standby for Harvey, but we didn’t end up going for that. When Irma hit, the orders came down on short notice to deploy,” said Hogan. “We left as soon as Hurricane Irma cleared out of the islands and the flight paths. There were only two of us on the first flight, a flight surgeon, Capt. Ian Matthews, and myself. We didn’t even know which island we’d be going to until we got on the plane.”

AFSOC medics are highly trained medical professionals who also receive tactical training and stay ready to deploy on short notice.

They are experts in delivering medical care and coordinating further operations in aus-

tere settings with minimal support. This made them the ideal unit to deploy to the Caribbean after Irma destroyed so much of the islands’ infrastructure.

Hogan and Matthews first flew to Puerto Rico Sept. 10. Upon arrival, Hogan stayed to join the command and control team setting up at San Juan International Airport. Matthews stayed on board the aircraft, continuing to the island of St. Croix.

Hogan’s first job was to get information back to his chain of command so they could share and plan the total effort with relief partners and follow-on forces. Damage on many islands was so severe that communication barely functioned, while airports were completely out of commission. Before additional units could deploy, Hogan’s commanders in the 27th SOW needed more information.

“I helped establish a command and control station in San Juan, called a Joint Special Operations Air Detachment,” recalled Hogan.

“One of our missions in AFSOC is to get damaged airfields up and running, so rescue operations can begin. It was such chaos initially, but our training really helped us understand what needed to be done.”

Another early job for Hogan was to review the requirements for U.S. State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development relief efforts, and compare it to the situation on the ground. After assessing the hurricane’s destruction, the JSOAD decided to call in another Special Forces Medical Element team from the 27th SOW, consisting of Capt. Phillip Hendly, a Flight Surgeon, and Tech. Sgt. Marc Villano and Staff Sgt. Brian Welling, both IDMTs/ paramedics.

“Right away, it was clear that we needed more medical support in those first hours after the storm,” said Hogan. “Within 24 hours, the second team was on station to provide initial medical support and provide casualty evacuations as we went out to other islands.”

Restructure From page 1 This action will not change AFSPC’s mission. In his dualhatted roles as both commander of AFSPC and JFSCC, Raymond will be responsible for the organizing, training and equipping of Air Force space forces, as well as executing operational command and control of joint space forces. This will increase integration with the other USSTRATCOM operational component commanders. While Raymond will have two separate staffs, they will be fully synchronized to enhance joint space warfighting capability and operational test and evaluation efforts. Additionally, AFSPC has

been designated Air Forces Strategic-Space to highlight and strengthen the critical warfighting role as USSTRATCOM’s Air Force Service Component.

“What has occurred here today — the creation of a Joint Force Space Component Commander — will help change the collective mindset of space forces from providers of space capabilities to warfighters,” said Raymond.

No positions are being created or eliminated as part of the restructure. The former JFCC Space staff will form the core of the new JFSCC staff to enable Raymond to effectively command the joint space forces.

In a ceremony the same day, Maj. Gen. Stephen Whiting took command of 14th Air Force and also became the Joint Force Space Component deputy commander. Whiting was the JFSCC Integration Team Lead and Director of Integrated Air, Space, Cyberspace and Intelligence, Surveillance and

Many other thematic decorations for the party included flags from various countries and other trees decorated to represent partners to the military.

Celebration From page 1 To keep conversations rolling, standing tables were arranged all around the room.

“I don’t know tons of people on base.

Being a Wing Staff Agency, it can be hard to meet lots of people,” said 2nd Lt. Lucas Hash, Program Management Office program manager. “I personally liked that there were stand-up tables, because it encourages people to kind of just walk up real quickly, chat, then walk away.”

On top of guests embracing their fellow Airmen, numerous people brought in canned food and toys to donate to surrounding charities. In exchange for the generosity, guests had greater chances of winning prizes such as one of the newest model gaming stations and an HD television.

However, before guests were able to walk away with winnings, Col. Jacob Middleton, 50th Space Wing vice commander, provided opening remarks.

“I know that day-to-day everyone’s busy doing their job and making sure the wing is successful in accomplishing its mission,” Middleton said. “I’m glad everyone took time to come out and get to relax for a little bit, and hopefully this is a stress-reliever for everybody.”

Middleton went on to describe some parental tactics he had used on his children during one Christmas.

Before Christmas, his children had not been maintaining good grades, and to motivate them to improve, the day of Christmas his children opened each of their presents, receiving every single toy they requested that year. However by noon, all toys were held hostage in a trash bag, and he only agreed to their release if their grades improved by their next report card.

“Their grades improved by March,” he laughed. “The moral of the story is that nothing is free, everything comes with hard work and that you guys are working really hard and doing a great job. Thanks to all of you. Enjoy the night and thanks for coming out.”

The USSTRATCOM restructure is intended to build a simple and coherent organizational structure, enabling cleaner command and control of forces and lines of authority. The restructure brings the command more in line with that of other combatant commands. In addition to the JFSCC, USSTRATCOM has a Joint Force Air Component Commander and will have a Joint Force Maritime Component Commander. JFCC Integrated Missile Defense remains in place until the conclusion of the Ballistic Missile Defense Review, at which point it will be restructured as appropriate and required.

Devastation there was almost complete, says Matthews, and people were in need of care, evacuation and hope.

“When I got to St. Maarten the first day, a large group of American citizens were gathering outside the airport, waiting for evacuation. Most of them had lost everything, even their homes,” said Matthews. “I went out right away and started screening them for medical issues. I made sure they had medication they needed for any conditions they had and kept them hydrated.”

Matthews, as well as members of the second medical team, also identified people who needed priority evacuations,

such as those who were sick, injured or disabled. As other aircraft started showing up, they helped keep the evacuees organized and got them on planes to return to the U.S. The AFSOC medics were executing the three primary missions of a Special Forces Medical Element — base operational medical support, trauma support and casualty evacuation. They essentially acted as a small medical group in extremely austere locations.

“Our main job was to go in and establish the framework for bigger general purpose forces to come in and provide support,” said Hogan. “We open airfields, provide casualty evacuation in environments not appropriate for generalpurpose forces, initial capabilities and needs assessments, and immediate care for victims and our forces.”

Responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Irma serves another purpose for AFSOC medics — they are vital training opportunities. Disaster response lets medics practice skills that are hard to simulate in normal training regimens, and the type of chaos, damage and

The Tragedy Assistance Program will host a survivor seminar and is in need of active duty service members to pair with a child during their journey of grief, helping them gain coping skills in a supportive environment.

injuries they need to deal with are all too similar to what they may see on the battlefield.

“Every time we respond to a natural disaster, we get a new vector to prepare for the next deployment or disaster,” said Hogan. “It gives us experience to shape our future training, new ideas about how to properly equip ourselves in austere and chaotic environments, and it’s a chance for our teams to practice our trauma and surgical skills.”

“It’s an opportunity to go out and help our community and do some good for mankind, but it’s also an opportunity to practice our combat skills and improve our readiness posture,” said Matthews.

“We don’t usually get many chances to practice all of our skills in normal training. So we learn a lot from these deployments — we identify weakness and areas to improve.”

The Hurricane Irma relief mission for the 27th SOW medics only lasted about eight days. Their job was to pave the way for other relief efforts, and offer initial care and supplies to people caught in the storm’s wrath. They assisted in evacuat-

ing more than 2,000 storm victims and coordinated with eight different federal agencies. However, as the airfields opened and a better understanding of the disaster emerged, there was less need for a special operations mission skill set. This allowed a hand-off to other federal agencies and relief organizations to provide aid.

Yet in reflection, it was the people they met and cared for during those first 24 to 48 hours on the ground amid profound devastation that will forever remain with the AFSOC medics.

“It was really moving to hear the gratitude from the Americans we were helping to evacuate,” said Welling. “It’s hard to explain how it felt to go in and use my skills to help all these victims of the hurricane and bring them hope and ensure them that people out there care about them.

“In special operations, we live by a mantra of quiet professionalism, but it was really overwhelming to see the emotion on the faces of people we helped.

We all got into the medical field to help people, so it’s very rewarding to have that opportunity.”
