WELCOME Get ready for a memorable May! We are looking toward sunnier days, appreciating our service members, and new FSS events. Kicking off the month with crafts, markets, and extended services in your FSS facilities! By the middle of the month, we will see restrictions easing and allowing us to convene indoors with loved ones and re-open loved events.

We will see the opening of outdoor patios at Square D Bowling and outside the Galaxy club, as well as new events to celebrate being able to welcome more of our patrons indoors. To get that summer feeling started, we will spend the end of this Spring enjoying grilling events and the return of trivia night in the Galaxy Club, and even all new trips with Outdoor Recreation. Keep an eye out for the re-opening of Community Center services like the Kid’s Place. Finally, the AFRC and Fitness Centers will be here to keep you financially and physically fit as we transition back into our regular social activities. All of this, just in time for a long Memorial Day weekend to finish out the month.

Bloody Hundredth refuels Iniochos 21 The 100th Air Refueling Wing participated in exercise Iniochos 21 with the Hellenic air force near Souda Bay Air Base, Greece, April 12-22.

By Staff Sgt. Mackenzie Mendez, 100th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs // www.mildenhall.af.mil

A

irmen and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft assigned to the 351st Air Refueling Squadron, at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, arrived in Greece to support the operational and tactical-level field training exercise, hosted by the Hellenic Air Tactics Center at Greece’s fighter weapons school.

The exercise aimed to enhance combat readiness and fighting capability, while providing participants the opportunity

to develop capabilities and conduct complex air operations in a multinational, joint force environment. “Throughout Iniochos 21, the 100th ARW played a key role in extending fighting periods through air refueling, integrating into

high value air asset defense planning, and furthering best air refueling practices amongst partner nations,” said Capt. Brian Brookover, 100th ARW Iniochos 21 director of operations. “Our aircrews were able to further train within

RAF MILDENHALL NEWS contested operational airspace and integrate planning with U.S. and partner assets.” Iniochos is an annual exercise designed to provide advanced and realistic aircrew training to strengthen interoperability of allied and partner air forces during joint operations and air defenses in order to maintain joint readiness. The exercise aims to enhance combat readiness, fighting capability and the enhancement of the procedural and system interoperability of the participating forces.

Along with Greek and U.S. participants, Canada, Cyprus, Israel, Slovenia, Spain and the United Arab Emirates supported the training event.

Participation in multinational exercises, like Iniochos 21, enhances professional relationships and improves overall coordination with allies and partner militaries during times of crisis.

“The exercise allowed us to integrate in both the operational and tactical level with our partners,” said 1st Lt. Wesleigh Bartels, 100th ARW Iniochos 21 assistant director of operations. “It allowed the

Hellenic air forces to showcase their hosting and planning capabilities, as well as the give and take of tactical mantras.

When standard tactical operations of this many nations is given the platform of free flow communication on best practices, all participants are challenged and benefit.”

Training with our joint and combined allies and partners during Agile Combat Employment events increases our lethality and enhances interoperability, allowing our forces to counter military aggression and coercion by sharing responsibilities for common defense.

Diamond symposium provides opportunity to share knowledge, prepare future first sergeants Royal Air Force Mildenhall’s First Sergeant Council hosted a symposium for potential first sergeants April 19 to 23.

Additional U.S. forces that participated included MQ-9 Reaper aircraft assigned to the 731st Expeditionary Attack Squadron, flying out of Campia Turzii, Romania, and Joint Terminal Attack Controllers assigned to the 2nd Air Support Operations Squadron, Vilseck, Germany.

The 100th ARW refueled more than 67 aircraft and offloaded more than 137,000 pounds of fuel during the exercise.

Throughout Iniochos 21, the 100th ARW played a key role in extending fighting periods through air refueling, integrating into high value air asset defense planning, and furthering best air refueling practices amongst partner nations

100th ARW supports refueling from RAF Fairford The 100th Air Refueling Wing exercises agile combat employment from multiple airfields spanning Europe including Royal Air Force Fairford, to deter aggression, maintain stability, and ensure free access to common domains in accordance with international law.

RAF MILDENHALL HERITAGE

Looking to the Future, Remembering our Past The “Bloody 100th” In History

by Rae Lovell

AS WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD to a Spring full of potential, we are taking the opportunity to stop and evaluate how we got here. After a year of making sacrifices for the prospect of a safer future and safety for our community members, we look back at the servicemen before us who did the same.

By the end of World War II the 100th Bombardment Group, earned the name ‘The Bloody

16

100th’ for its disproportionately high number of casualties, as well as successfully bombing the targets in just two years of flying missions. Our current 100th flies with only the World War II U.S. Army Air Forces tail flash that survives in the present-day U.S. Air Force: the Square D.

IMAGES:

Boeing B-17 Fortress.

| MAY 2021

While we are now known as the 100th Air Refueling Wing, we are proud to carry this emblem into 2021. When you see the Square D around our RAF Mildenhall community, remember its origin. And remember the lives lost and survived through the missions of The Bloody 100th.

Square D Heritage

When you see the Square D around our RAF Mildenhall community, remember its origin. And remember the lives lost and survived through the missions of The Bloody 100th

Let’s honor those lives while safely celebrating the lifting restrictions and bright summer ahead of Team Mildenhall.

Memorial Day weekend this year will include the permission to have friends in your homes again and will allow us to enjoy a meal inside restaurants.

Take this time to enjoy what our brave brothers and sisters before us fought for. Honor them by enjoying your friends, family, and time off.

MISSIONS The 100th Bomb Group flew 306 combat missions between 25 June 1943 and 20 April 1945.

The disproportionate losses suffered by the 100th - earning it the moniker the “Bloody 100th” This occurred during the eight missions, shown below: (Each aircraft lost=10 Airmen who were KIA/MIA or Prisoners of War) DATE
