PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Marines from Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 161, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California, completed a two-week exercise based out of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Feb. 10, 2021.

VMM-161 conducted training in Colorado Springs for the opportunity to fly and train in a unique, joint environment.

“We are out here doing cold-weather training and high-altitude mountain terrain operations,” explained U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Roberto Lozano, VMM-161 avionics technician. “Being out here with the cold weather helps us understand our systems better so we can perform better in cold conditions.”

While learning how to operate in the new climate, VMM-161 practiced air logistics support, air evacuation, tactical recovery of personnel and aircraft, and combat assault transport.

On top of Colorado supplying an ideal environment for their training, Peterson AFB gave the Marines access to complete their training in a joint setting.

“Peterson has been a great help to VMM-161 by providing facilities and ramp space,” said U.S. Marine Corps Capt.

“Peterson also gives us access to flying with our sister services down at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, and Butts Army AirField [at Fort Carson, Colorado].”

But months before the Osprey’s landed in the Rockies, Airmen at Peterson AFB

started preparing and planning to support.

The first agency to support was airfield management.

“We have been there since day zero almost. [VMM-161] started planning their exercise in November,” said U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Phonkamon Gehres, 21st

Logistics Readiness Squadron non-commissioned officer in charge of airfield management operations. “We help by coordinating, making sure they have the parking spots on the flightline, getting their information and passing it onto other agencies so we can make sure while they are here, they are well supported.”

After the Marines arrived, airfield management continued to watch and work closely.

“When they got here, we started to file their flight plans, keep track and flight-follow them when they were flying,” said Gehres. “There were three flights that came in late after our hours, so we stayed open for them to make sure that they got the support they needed.”

All the hard work allowed VMM-161 to attain mission and unit readiness.

“Being from California, we are not really exposed to the type of weather here at Peterson, so being able to get out of our comfort bubble and get out here and do some cold weather training allows us to continually maintain the tip of the spear,” said U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Mills Maurtice, VMM-161 MV-22B pilot. “This operation would not be possible without the help we received from Peterson Air Force Base and the Space Force out here.

They've been very accommodating, and because of that, we got our mission done.”

“Being out here with the cold weather helps us understand our systems better so

we can perform better in cold conditions.”

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. — Wow. I get to write a story about what I do for Scott Air Force Base and the 375th Air Mobility Wing. Though my job can be challenging, public affairs provides some pretty rewarding experiences.

Our wing PA shop completes a multitude of tasks throughout the week that includes photo stories, video stories and alert photography. If there is a big event happening, chances are you will see a public affairs specialist alongside the action documenting the entire thing.

My most action-packed adventure so far would have to be the time I made a photo story for a survival, evasion, resistance and escape water survival refresher course here at Scott.

It was a cool day at Carlyle Lake, probably around 50 degrees. I brought a handful of lenses for my camera so that I could zoom in up close from the shore to capture the action.

When the SERE instructor looked at me and asked, “Are you ready to get in a dry suit?” I did a backflip of excitement in my head. Next thing I knew, I was in the lake taking photos in the water

Care beyond duty: Discovering resiliency through mentorship

By Natalie Stanley 926th Wing

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — It was a Tuesday that changed the trajectory of Bronwen Gulledge’s life.

Phone in hand, standing alone in stunned silence outside a classroom at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Gulledge received the devastating news.

Cancer.

“The floor just dropped out from underneath me, because it's just, it's literally life changing,” she said.

Master Sgt. Bronwen Gulledge, 26th Space Aggressor Squadron, Adversary Intelligence Flight, flight superintendent, was diagnosed with breast cancer Feb. 12, 2019.

“My cancer was discovered in somewhat of a backwards way,” Gulledge said. “All previous testing never showed anything, so my doctor took a step back and we started from square one, genetic testing.”

While she had been seeking answers for medical issues for a while, it was genetic testing that gave her access to a team of doctors that were finally able to give her a diagnosis after a battery of tests.

As Gulledge worked to process her new reality and begin the long road to recovery with her medical team, she received another, more positive phone call that created a new all-encompassing network of support for her journey; a call from the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program (AFW2).

“I never even knew that the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program was something that existed for actively-serving members, and then out of the blue I get a call from a guy named Rod, and he was so positive and high energy,” said Gulledge.

Rod is Roderick Schwald, Recovery Care Coordinator for AFW2, and his job was to ensure Gulledge received access to an AFW2 Care Management Team to support her throughout her treatment and recovery after she was automatically referred to the program due to her diagnosis.

“Our staff is trained and ready to provide personalized services to warriors and their families and assist in critical decisions and support during some of the most scary and difficult times in their lives,” said Schwald.

For Gulledge, the support she received from AFW2 was so significant that when she shares her journey, it’s a story about how AFW2 changed her recovery and her life.

“I had an entire team of people, so genuine and caring for me and my family, letting me know my job was to

heal, to focus on getting better and they would take care of the rest,” she said. “This was the first time I ever truly experienced support like that, to have the freedom to focus on myself and not feel guilty.”

Gulledge said one main area of support was having the AFW2 team help lift and carry the logistical burden of her treatment, giving her the mental space needed to focus on her cancer treatments and not on the next paperwork step.

“They understand you still have to serve in a military capacity. That’s where their focus is, to help you through the process of authorizations and insurance issues or to get you in contact with a doctor. All of the stress is just taken away from you and you don’t have that as such a huge weight anymore,” she said.

While her family, military family, medical team and AFW2 provided a comprehensive support system, for

Gulledge it was the emotional support of having an AFW2 mentor who understood her challenges first hand that helped her through the painful and isolating dark times of treatment.

Gulledge said at the time she was starting her surgeries she was struggling to reach out to people, not knowing what to say or talk about, when a spitfire Captain reached out to her and told her she’s ready to be there for her because somebody was there for her when she needed it.

“When you’re going through recovery you can be a little bit isolated because people often don’t know how to talk to you, and that’s okay, I understand,” she said. “But sometimes you can go for weeks on end without really communicating with anybody else other than your family or your doctors, and you miss that connection with other people. I really looked forward to having a conversation with another woman about her story, about what to expect, and just having that bond with someone else.”

Gulledge said her mentor created a place for her to feel safe and connected and the deep bond between them not only helped her through her treatment but gave her a purpose to help others even while she was still in the midst of her own battle.

“I wanted to find a way to give back, to make somebody else’s journey a little bit easier, because having the support makes a world of difference,” she said. “For all of the surgeries I went through and all of the complications I had, it was very difficult for me to just be still, even though my body wasn’t always willing and able, my mind was still wanting to connect with other people and to give back in some way.”

Now that Gulledge is in remission, she is still learning how to share her story and be vulnerable so that she can be a light in the darkness for others. She continues to be a mentor and Ambassador for AFW2 and hopes that sharing her experience can make even one woman's journey easier.

“I still have my moments of weakness, I’m still in the process of figuring out the new me, and that's okay,” she said. “I just want to be able to give to as many other women as I can a fraction of what my AFW2 mentor gave to me.”

The AFW2 is a Congressionally-mandated and Federallyfunded program that provides personalized care, services, and advocacy to total force Airmen and Space Force Guardians with serious wounds, ill and injured combat and non-combat medical conditions.

alongside the SERE specialists and the aircrew getting trained.

After taking the pictures, we went to the shore where the aircrew were then shown how to use signals. That was also very fun, because I wasn’t just capturing the moment, I was experiencing it with them.

In addition to photography, I also shoot video. One of my first videos was at the refueling squadron, where I was highlighting their mission. With this, I was able to get video of the squadron refueling on the flight-line, and I saw my very first aircraft, a U.S. Navy E-2 Hawkeye.

It was my first time on the flight line, and it was a blast. I certainly feel lucky because not everyone has the chance to get an up close look at the aircraft that come through Scott.

Though my first time seeing an aircraft on the flight line was great, it didn’t compare to the first time I got to fly in one.

My new supervisor, Staff Sgt. Rion Ehrman, came from a combat camera shop, which means he had been on plenty of aircraft for deployments and temporary duties. Ehrman took myself and another Airman from our shop on the flight, training us on the procedures involved with flying on an aircraft and also taught us how to capture different types of video in that environment.

While it wasn’t my first time shooting video, it was my first time on a C-17 Globemaster, and with that came a lot of new experiences. The flight was only an hour long, but it was a unique oppor-

For ON BASE EMERGENCIES

tunity for me to learn new techniques.

Oh, and flying on an Air Force aircraft is definitely a lot cooler than a commercial airliner, that’s for sure.

Another responsibility I share with the other Airmen at the PA shop is alert photography.

Alert photography is the documentation of damaged government assets or emergency events that occur across the installation. For example, if a government owned vehicle gets into an accident, security forces calls the alert photographer to take photos of where the accident happened.

“... I wasn’t just capturing the moment, I was

experiencing it with them.”

If you are on call for alert photography, then you need to be ready at a moment’s notice to go take photos at any time of the day.

Overall, I greatly appreciate my experiences here in Public Affairs, because they always teach me something new.

I appreciate my hard-working, resilient team, because even if we are jam packed with events or balancing tons of different projects, we are still producing and telling stories.

It just goes to show that we are dedicated to our work and showcasing the mission of Scott Air Force Base and the Airmen who serve across the installation.

SpOC-West personnel support teams win command annual awards

By Lt. Col. Mae-Li Allison, Combined Force Space Component Command Public Affairs

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Following a year of many organizational transitions, the hard-working personnel support team assigned to Space Operations Command-West recently earned two 2020 SpOC awards and will now move on to compete at the Air Force level.

On March 3, SpOC headquarters announced that Maj. Richard Hart, director of SpOC-West Manpower and Personnel, won the Force Support Field Grade Officer award, and the SpOCWest Commander Support Staff (CSS) won the A1 Special Recognition Team Award for staff-level support.

“I’m very happy that I and my team got to be a small part of the historic standup of these organizations.”

— Maj. Richard Hart, director of SpOC-West Manpower and Personnel

“I’ve spent more than 30 years in the military, both in uniform and as a government civilian, and I’ve never seen this number of organizational moves in such a short period of time,” said Mark Main, the Combined Force Space Component Command chief of staff. “It took an extraordinary amount of personnel support to ensure these changes were accurately reflected in the books, and our CSS and manpower and personnel sections handled this flawlessly.”

The year 2020 marked a year of significant change for the dual-hatted organization previously known as 14th Air Force and the Joint Force Space Component Command. After

the U.S. Space Force was founded as the newest branch of the Armed Forces on Dec. 20, 2019, the 14th Air Force at Vandenberg AFB was redesignated as Space Operations Command on Dec. 20, 2019. This same organization was later renamed SpOC-West after the SpOC field command was formally established on Oct. 21, 2020, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

On Aug. 29, 2019, U.S. Space Command was stood up after 17 years since its inactivation. This prompted the reorganization of JFSCC from U.S. Strategic Command to U.S. Space Command. With the subsequent inclusion of international military partners on the staff, JFSCC’s name changed to the Combined Force Space Component Command on Oct. 1, 2019.

“I’m very happy that I and my team got to be a small part of the historic standup of these organizations,” said Hart, who leads a section of only three people to support more than 100 customers.

During the USSF transition, the SpOC-West CSS staff maintained accurate personnel records through numerous systems conversions, as well as built guidance for more than 200 members for the historical transfer ceremonies.

In addition to the multiple organizational changes, a worldwide pandemic also brought unique challenges that the CSS worked through to overcome. The CSS streamlined COVID-19 operations in the unit control center by synchronizing headquarters and wing accountability programs, which provided daily readiness updates for the U.S. Space Command mission.

“Throughout all these challenges, the CSS continued to provide superior personnel, training, deployment, and commander’s program support for the CFSCC, SpOC-West, and Space Delta 5 warfighters,” said Capt. Cameron Hyman, the SpOC-West CSS section commander.

The Space Operations Command-West Commander Support Staff team stands for a photo at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on March 10, 2021. Space Operations Command Headquarters announced March 3 that the SpOC-West CSS won the 2020 A1 Special Recognition Team of the Year.

Space Operations Command Headquarters announced March 3 that Hart won the Force Support Field Grade Officer award, and he will now be com- peting at the Air Force level. Hart says that one of his team’s greatest accomplishments in 2020 was how they supported the stand-up of both the Combined Force Space Component Command and Space Operations Command/Space Operations CommandWest, which directly supported the stand-up of U.S. Space Command and the U.S. Space Force.

Due to the subzero temperatures over Presidents’ Day weekend, many damaging incidents occurred around base including burst pipes, flooding, heating issues and roof leaks.

Subzero to heroes

By Airman Ryan Prince Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo.

— Since subzero temperatures over Presidents’ Day weekend, the 21st Civil Engineer Squadron has been busy making repairs to burst pipes, roof leaks and heating issues around Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

“Sustained subzero temperatures strained our HVAC equipment and froze fire suppression and domestic water piping, causing breaks when the ice began to thaw out,” said Maj. Joanna Leger, 21st CES operations flight commander. “Facilities in Colorado are not designed with subzero temperatures in mind so the extreme weather really pushed the envelope of our engineering systems.”

The incidents began to pile up, resulting in every section of the 21st CES helping with repairs.

Staff Sgt. Christopher Colbert, 21st CES contracting office representative, explained that the response to the incidents went smoothly due to great teamwork and coordination between the 21st CES, the 21st Contracting Squadron and the fire department.

“Operations personnel from all shops pitched in to help assess damage and clean up while HVAC, structures and plumbers were performing emergency repairs,” Leger said. “There were personnel running the [Unit Control Center] and making critical material purchases. Additionally, we had amazing support from [the 21st CONS] to have contractors on site within 24 hours of all the primary breaks, and [the 21st

Security Forces Squadron] assisted with contractor access to base.”

The amount of damage was high, however, base personnel and contractors are handling each issue with care and professionalism.

“We are still awaiting quotes for several repairs, but we estimate the total damage to be around $1.5 million,” said Leger. “The 21st CES responded to over 50 emergency calls in a 48-hour period connected with the extreme weather, and it impacted 40 facilities on base. Seventeen facilities sustained moderate to major water damage and 14 facilities had serious HVAC issues.”

The initial damages were responded to with the standard emergency process. An after-hours call was placed to the 24-hr customer line and the 21st CES response team assembled. The 21st CES leadership then prepared for additional incidents to be reported, according to Leger.

Leger explained that it is currently unknown how long repairs will take, but it is anticipated that everything will be completed by the end of March.

There will be more precautionary measures taken to mitigate situations such as these in the future.

“The UCC was capturing lessons learned from the event,” Leger said. “We are going to update guidance that is sent out to facility managers and ensure we consider risk based decision making in regards to isolating fire suppression systems in certain facilities ahead of extreme temperatures like the ones we saw that weekend. We are also looking into measures to potentially better isolate certain facilities and advocate for project funding to upgrade certain HVAC systems.”

AFRL exchange officer leads international Space collaboration

By Jeanne Dailey Air Force Research Laboratory

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — Air Force Research Laboratory exchange officer to the United Kingdom Capt. Jacob Singleton, plays an important role in promoting international cooperation in military research, development and acquisition among the United Kingdom, United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries.

Through the Department of Defense Engineer and Scientist Exchange program, Singleton has been working with the Space Program at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory for the UK Ministry of Defence since 2019. He is the space innovation lead, where he heads up Dstl activities focused on working with new startup space ventures.

“I focus on new efforts to exploit emerging commercial space technologies from the private sector to match those with defense needs,” Singleton said. “In many ways this extends my work at AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate where I led the development of the space accelerator programs to fast track commercial space technologies to close capability gaps for the warfighter.”

Singleton explains the importance of AFRL and the role he plays in the exchange program.

“AFRL is the forum for U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force innovation through programs like AFWERX and our Space

Accelerator,” Singleton said. “AFRL also leads extensive efforts in cooperative R&D [research and development] with international partners around the world including the UK.” “My role at Dstl has been important in the UK because it has allowed our US-UK collaboration to focus on innovation programs that align our efforts into becoming more relevant customers, in the international marketplace. It is our first step in focusing collaboration on a new priority- the

adoption of emerging R&D from the global private sector.”

Singleton has led the way in several projects that are accelerating technology for the United States and her allies.

“I had the opportunity to lead Dstl's participation in Seraphim Space Campa London based space accelerator led by Seraphim Capital,” Singleton explained.

“We were able to extend these U.S. and UK led accelerators in the first jointly delivered International Space Pitch Day, where we

awarded "on-the-spot" contracts to emerging space companies in four countries, in response to shared challenges from military stakeholders in the U.S. and UK.” Through his expertise and leadership, Singleton has overcome some hurdles along the way.

“I dealt with quite a few challenges in getting approvals for the international strategy to implement the accelerator program,” he said. “This included several months of difficulties where some days included legal advice to 'cease all activity' and even a short turnaround briefing to the Air Force senior acquisition executive, Dr. Will Roper. In the end, fortunately, we received the approvals needed to launch the 2020 program.”

There are two special highlights of Singleton’s tour in the UK. The first was the birth of his and his wife Mandy’s fourth child in July 2020, and the second his transfer from the U.S. Air Force to the U.S. Space Force in a virtual ceremony Feb. 10.

The commissioning event was attended by Air Vice Marshal Harv Smyth, UK Director Space, and Col. Charles Metrolis, Air Attaché, US Embassy, London, who gave Singleton the oath office, as well as military and civilian colleagues and his family.

In a press release from the UK, AVM Smyth expressed his appreciation to Singleton.

Faces of Space: Capt. Allyson Haynes

By Paul Honnick Peterson-Schriever Garrison Public Affairs

SHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Capt. Allyson Haynes, Space Delta 8, 50th Operations Support Squadron GPS staff instructor, has always been torn between developing her engineering career and her U.S. Air Force career. Since re-commissioning in the U.S. Space Force in September 2020, she has found a way to do both with all the fresh opportunities the new service brings.

“I’ve always been interested in science and technology, so when the chance came around to join the Space Force, it was kind of an obvious choice for me,” said Haynes. “I don’t think it has 100% sunk in yet, but it’s pretty awesome knowing that we have a lot of changes coming down the pipe, and I’m just excited to see what those are.”

Currently, Haynes is responsible for training 2nd Space Operations Squadron crew commanders and crew chiefs, who lead teams of eight military members and two civilians conducting 24/7 GPS satellite operations.

“I think my role is important because I’m setting up the crews to perform the mission successfully,” she said.

“Good crew commanders can make a big difference in how smoothly operations go and how cohesive and how happy people are that are working on crew.”

What really makes her job interesting, however, is the diverse array of people she works with and the wealth of knowledge and expertise they share.

“I receive students of widely varying backgrounds, so I get to learn something new with each class,” she explained.

“I’ve taught engineers who are here for their career-broadening tours, squadron leadership members who have been working in space for over a decade and other members of [2nd] SOPS who are experts in areas of GPS that I certainly am not an expert in.”

Prior to her career in space operations, Haynes graduated from Purdue University in May 2016, with a Bachelor of Engineering. Despite landing internships at General Electric Appliances in Louisville, Kentucky, and Orbital ATK in Phoenix, Arizona, she said she was always drawn to a career in the Air Force. For that, she credits her father, a retired Air Force flight navigator.

“I mainly experienced his career while he was a navigator on B-52s,” she recalled. “I [saw] him going on adventures

“I’ve always kind of felt a calling to the Air Force, [and] now Space Force,

AND IT’S BEEN A REALLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE.”

and trying new things, and it just seemed like a noble cause to always be on call for the country so it just kind of inspired me.”

Leaning on her engineering background, Haynes said she plans on attending graduate school this fall to study hypersonics, a field of study which focuses on the conditions that arise at speeds in excess of Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound.

“It’s high speed aerodynamics,” she explained, adding that hypersonic technology is an emerging field in the Space Force. “There’s a lot of unknowns we have about how fluids behave at those Mach numbers under those condi-

Space Program at Dstl has been a highlight of my professional experience in the Air Force. I am energized by the successes we have had in increasing international cooperation and am convinced that it was only possible through that US and UK partnership. I plan to bring every lesson learned and relationship I have developed here in the UK, into my career with the U.S. Space Force as everything we do in the future becomes a collaborative and global effort. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to take this step here in England, while working directly with the UK team.”

To add two more accolades to his career,

tions, so I’m going to school to study that and hopefully become more familiar with those mechanics to continue developing our technology in that area.”

When she’s not working in the fast-paced environment of space operations, Haynes enjoys volunteering at Happy Cats Haven, a no-kill shelter in Manitou Springs where she helps foster and socialize homeless cats for adoption to new families.

“It’s a slow process, just getting them more used to people, getting them a little bit better about approaching strangers, or being picked up or even being pet sometimes; but it’s important if they want to get adopted out to families that they are able to interact with other people and sometimes other cats. If they’re sitting in the corner, they’re probably not going to be noticed as much,” she said.

While fostering has its rewards, the downside for Haynes is having to say goodbye when they find a permanent home.

“Fosters are especially hard,” she said. “Cats I’ve worked with in the shelter, it’s not too bad. It’s great to see them get out. But cats I’ve fostered, you form a pretty strong bond with them because they’re with you all the time, so it’s bittersweet.”

However, not all the cats she cares for end up with other families. Haynes has since adopted three cats of her own, named Angie, Paulie and Kiwi. She said they kept her and her husband, Kevin, company during the early shutdown months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We fostered during the big shutdown quarantine last March, and so they kept us quite busy when they were around,” she said. “It’s been a little bit tough, but we have each other, we live together, and we’re staying active, working out, and then volunteering as much as possible, so we’re getting through it.”

Though 2020 was a rollercoaster of a year, with an ongoing pandemic and the standing up of the Space Force, Haynes said she remains optimistic about what the future holds.

“I’m taking it one step at a time,” she said. “I’ve always kind of felt a calling to the Air Force, [and] now Space Force, and it’s been a really rewarding experience. I’ve had a lot of fun in operations, so I don’t know 100% what my future holds, but I’m pursuing engineering again, keeping in the fields [and] staying relevant, and we’ll just see where the Space Force takes me.”

Singleton was announced as the Space Vehicles Directorate’s International Award winner at his unit’s 2021 annual awards ceremony held Feb. 24 at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, and as the AFRL International Award recipient at AFRL’s annual awards ceremony held at WrightPatterson AFB, Ohio Mar.3.

Singleton will finish his exchange tour with Dstl this summer, and embark on his first Space Force assignment at a Space and Missiles Systems Center program office in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“I fully expect that my UK and international relationships will be an important

part of the rest of my career,” Singleton remarked.

Welcome to 411 Safety

Spring is here, and it's a great time to ride a bike.

Here are steps you can take to stay safe.

• Wear a bicycle helmet. Everyone (of all ages) should wear a bicycle helmet.

• Adjust your bicycle to fit.

• Check your equipment before riding, inflate tires properly and check that the brakes work.

• See and be seen. Whether daytime, dawn, dusk, bad weather, or at night, make yourself visible to others.

• Watch for and avoid road hazards. Look for hazards such as potholes, broken glass, gravel, puddles, leaves and dogs. All these hazards can cause a crash.

• Avoid riding at night. It’s hard for road users to see bicyclists at dusk, dawn and nighttime.

• Use bike lanes or bike paths, if available.

• A lane or path is a safer choice than riding on a sidewalk.

• Riding on sidewalks puts you in a place where cars do not look for or expect to see moving traffic.

• Stop at corners of sidewalks and streets to look for cars and to make sure the drivers see you before crossing.

Remember to listen for traffic and avoid dangerous situations; don’t use personal electronics when you ride.
