Col. Jennifer Grant, 50th Space Wing commander, hosted an all-call to roll out the wing’s new mission statement, vision and priorities here. The new mission statement, vision and priorities focus on space and cyberspace as warfighting domains — a point Gen. Jay Raymond, commander, Air Force Space Command recently made. “Space superiority is no longer a birthright,” Raymond said. “In the future, we may have to fight for that space superiority if we get into a high end fight.” Grant credited this changing environment and base’s growing role in current operations for the needed change. See Mission page 6
Evolve space and cyberspace warfighting superiority through integrated and innovative operations.
VISION
One team ... mastering space and cyberspace operations ... now and into the future.
PRIORITIES 1. Successfully and innovatively execute today's operations. 2. Plan and posture for tomorrow's engagements. 3. Take care of our Airmen and families always. U.S. Air Force graphic/2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez
4 SOPS mission mobilizes for air show By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
The three elements of the 4th Space Operations Squadron mobile mission at Schriever Air Force Base are endurance, contingency and backup operations. The 4 SOPS mobile unit executed all three during their first air show appearance at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Sept. 16-17. Twenty 4 SOPS mobile unit members engaged 4,000 visitors during the two-day event. Capt. James Olsen, 4 SOPS mobile operations flight commander, said the request came from Air Force Space Command headquarters a month ago, after the chief of staff of the Air Force and Gen. Jay Raymond, commander of AFSPC, requested the spread of multi-domain concepts. “They wanted to be able to start showing the public and higher leadership that it’s not just a flying force, it’s a more integrated force with space and cyber aspects involved,” Olsen said. Approximately 175,000 guests attended the air show that featured space assets and cyber booths. See Air Show page 12
