The City of Newport News partnered with The Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce to host the Fort Eustis 100th Anniversary Gala at the Newport News Marriott at City Center, April 28, 2018. U.S. Army service members, family members and local officials gathered to celebrate the installation’s service to the nation throughout its rich history. Originally named Camp Abraham Eustis, after Brevet Brigadier General Abraham Eustis, Fort Eustis is home to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Joint Task Civil Support, numerous support units, aviation training, and aviation research and development. Keynote speaker, U.S. Army General Stephen J. Townsend, TRADOC commanding general, spoke of the integral roles Fort Eustis has played in support of America’s missions as well as the support received from the local community. “Tonight is much more than a celebration of the past,” said Townsend.
“It’s also a recognition of the great relationship that has developed over the years between Fort Eustis and this community. A true partnership that will ensure that Fort Eustis will continue to serve the needs of our nation for another 100 years.” The event welcomed music medley performances by the 392nd Army Band Jazz Combo while gala attendees continued the celebration with a cake cutting ceremony and a video presentation highlighting Fort Eustis’ growth and contributions to the nation and to its community. “This was a fantastic celebration and a chance to gather with our community to thank one another,” said U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Eric J. Vidal, 733rd Mission Support Group command sergeant major. “We got to show what [Fort Eustis] is all about and how important it is for us to remain engaged with all of the surrounding communities and help each other grow.” Today, the alignment of Fort Eustis and Langley Air Force Base as Joint Base Langley-Eustis continues to build upon both installations’ history of ser-

U.S. Air Force Chief Scientist By Dr. Richard J. Joseph, Ph.D. AIRMAN MAGAZINE
AIRMAN MAGAZINE: You’ve been in this position for eight weeks now. Stepping into such an interesting time, especially when all of our attention has been shifted over to being competitive and innovative and the Air Force has gone through all these challenges to make their Airmen innovative, what’s it like for you to be stepping into that role for the first time? DR. JOSEPH: It’s like being home again. This is what it was like in the early days of missile defense, in the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) days. Only there, let’s say that reality was at times the last refuge of a scoundrel. There were some pretty wild ideas, such as 20-meter mirrors in space and 25 megawatt lasers floating around in space and dozens of them. It turns out that when you raise your sights and you try to do the truly impossible, you really can accomplish more than you otherwise would have. For years after the SDI experience I saw examples of great advances in technology. Then I’d say, “Where did this come from?” And they’d say, “That was an SDI program”. It went for a few years and then it got cancelled, but we got these things out of it. So coming into this situation is thrilling, but it also gives me the sense that we really need to move on this because right now the system from the congress, the White House, the Defense Department and the Air Force is fully behind innovation and taking risks. But if we don’t produce and if we don’t make some real gains that may go away. No, it’s ideas from everywhere. I think we take ideas from research that’s going on everywhere, examine it, analyze it and decide whether we can make some gains by using it. So, AFRL is certainly where our technology is focused but there are lots of other places that are important, including the operational forces. If they can tell us this is how this technology at this stage of development can be useful to us that’s important for the technologists to know. So the operators are key in all of this. The other thing is, the other systems, contracting and acquisitions have to understand that they have an extremely important role to play in this and that is to get these things at a faster pace. Some will argue that the law doesn’t allow us to do it. Well, actually, if you read the federal acquisition regulations they really are pretty open to doing things in an expeditious fashion — if the taxpayer benefits from it. AIRMAN MAGAZINE: Can you think of anything that has surprised you within science over the years? DR. JOSEPH: I’m really marveling at quantum computing because it’s not something that I see as obvious. I remember hearing Richard Fineman give a talk on this at the 40th anniversary of Los Alamos in 1982 and I don’t think there were many people in the audience who understood this. In fact, I ran into him later outside I said, “Nice » See SCIENTIST | 10

With high peak permanent change of station, PCS, season fast approaching, the 633rd Force Support Squadron and 733rd Logistics Readiness Squadron want to emphasize the FSS and LRS role in preparing service members for their upcoming move. The peak PCS season generally extends from May through August each year and often impacts the timing and support of the Household Goods program. The Air Force Personal Property Activity identiďŹ ed that Langley Air Force Base has a high peak season affecting both inbound and outbound assignments. “A main concern is the need for PCS orders to schedule an Airman’s household goods pickup through the Travel Management OfďŹ ce,â€? said Staff Sgt. Julian Royal, 633rd Force Support Squadron Assistant noncommissioned ofďŹ cer in charge, Outbound Assignments. “The best way to ensure an Airmen receives their orders in a timely manner is to have all required documents submitted when they are due; an in-lieu-of letter will only be issued in extreme cases or circumstances.â€? According to Sergeant Royal, the outbound assignments ofďŹ ce will then prioritize the Airman’s orders by the Report No Later than Date for their assignments. Additionally, if needed, Report No Later than Date change requests can be submitted through the Virtual Military Processing Flight, with coordination and approval required from both the losing and gaining commanders. To help mitigate delays, 633rd FSS and 733rd LRS are leveling inbound/out-
bound assignments to the local carrier capacity to help improve the quality of moves for Airmen and their families, according to Arthur Miller, 733rd Logistics Readiness Squadron Personal Property and Quality Assurance chief. “Most importantly, customers should know that the LRS Personal Property ofďŹ ce and FSS Outbound assignments are available to provide guidance, counseling and support,â€? said Miller. The following tips can help customers prepare for the peak season: Be exible; provide both primary and alternate move dates. Provide valid e-mail addresses and phone numbers that are valid and used throughout the move. Obtain, and keep numbers and points of contact from the transportation service provider conducting the move. Contact Personal Property Processing OfďŹ ce (PPPO) immediately if the moving company doesn’t initiate contact within 10 days of the scheduled pack and pick-up dates or if the company doesn’t arrive on the moving day. Consider moving outside the peak summer season, when possible. Consider performing a Personally Procured Move (PPM). For further information regarding household good moves, please contact the 733rd LRS Personal Property OfďŹ ce at (757) 764-4151/2090. For further information regarding Outbound Assignments, please contact 633rd FSS Outbound Assignments at (757) 764-7047/ 3026.

Vice chief talks priorities of modernizing Army personnel system, aviation By David Vergun, Army News Service ARMY.MIL
MODERNIZATION PLANS
NASHVILLE, TENN.
The Army is working on implementing the Integrated Personnel and Pay System-Army, which will replace existing personnel systems in all three Army components. The IPPS-A will also function as a talent management system for the Army.
The Army will reform its “industrial ageâ€? talent management system soon and is conducting research to ďŹ nd replacements for its aging eet of helicopters, said the Army’s vice chief of staff. Gen. James C. McConville served as the keynote speaker, Thursday, during the 2018 Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit in Nashville, Tennessee.

Vice Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. James C. McConville speaks at the Army Aviation Association of America-hosted 2018 Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit in Nashville, Tenn., April 26, 2018.
TALENT MANAGEMENT
The Army is using an antiquated talent management personnel system that
assigns Soldiers to jobs and duty stations based on rank and military occupational specialty, McConville said. That system is stove-piped into three personnel systems, one each for the active, Reserve and Guard components, he added. Âť See INDUSTRIAL AGE | 6

“off the hook”
and even interests. In short, such a system “will get the most qualified people to the right place at the right time,” he said. McConville offered one example as to how a robust talent management system can help the Army. If there’s a future disease outbreak somewhere in the world where Soldiers will be asked to respond — such as what happened with the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, for example — a revamped talent management system would be a tremendous asset. The new system would be able to identify Soldiers from the affected region or those who have visited the region and who speak the language, he said. It would also identify medical personnel with relevant experience or research into the virus, be they from the active, Guard or Reserve component. The vice chief said he speaks to junior Soldiers and NCOs who tell him they want a smart talent management system, he said. It’s not just about the money. They want to serve and do something much bigger than themselves, but they want to be able to apply their talents to that end. “Soldiers expect this from us,” he added. “If we don’t provide that, they will seek work elsewhere.”

Rampona receives the Army Aviation Soldier of the Year award, at the Army Aviation Association of America-hosted 2018 Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit in Nashville, Tenn., April 26, 2018.

“
will get the most qualified people to the right place at the right time.” Gen. James C. McConville Regarding the air domain, there are only so many incremental improvements that can be made to the aging helicopter fleets the Army currently employs, he said. That’s why the Army’s Future Vertical Lift initiative is so important, he said. FVL must have much greater range, endurance, speed, agility, and survivability than current helicopters, and also must be
affordable. FVL will have a manned and unmanned variant, he said. The unmanned variant could team with a manned variant, or it could even team with other unmanned aerial systems. However, a human would be in the loop, either in the air and/or on the ground, adhering to the rules of engagement, so they would be autonomous only up to a certain point, he said. Unmanned-manned teaming would be particularly useful for degraded flying conditions and inherently dangerous missions like anti-access/area denial, he added. Besides FVL, McConville listed the other Army modernization priorities: long-range precision fires, next generation combat vehicle, Army network, air and missile defense and
Soldier lethality. The vice chief noted why these priorities are so important: “You don’t deter near-peer adversaries with MRAPS, you do it with armor and attack helicopters and you do it with long-range artillery, and in the future, you do it with future vertical lift and next generation combat vehicles.” This modernization effort is being spearheaded by Cross-Functional Teams, which will fall under the new Futures Command, he said. The idea behind this is to integrate material solutions, testing, experimentation, requirements, acquisition, and intellectual efforts in a unified approach.

NEW PIER, MISSION
UPGRADED
The current pier at Joint Base LangleyEustis, Virginia, is scheduled to be decommissioned when the new one is completed in the first quarter of 2019. Compared to the old pier, the new one will be safer, bigger and better able to hold up against inclement weather. U.S. Air Force Photos by Airman 1st Class Tristan Biese

The 733rd Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels the fight at Joint Base LangleyEustis, with approximately 19 million gallons of fuel it receives a year via barge. To improve the fuel flow, an infrastructure upgrade began in the first quarter of 2018 with the construction of a new fuels pier; with the aim of completing a more enhanced, weather resistant and safer capability to the JBLE mission by the first quarter of 2019. “The new pier will increase the tools for our Airmen, building our mission effectiveness here at JBLE, and it is well worth the wait,” said Senior Master Sgt. Justin Oakley, 733rd LRS fuels superintendent. According to Master Sgt. Robert Basye, 733rd LRS section chief of fuels operations, the pier is vital to JBLE. While it is possible to transport fuel via
tank trucks, it is far more cost and time effective to receive fuel by barge as one barge shipment is equivalent to about 95 tank truck shipments. “If it takes 95 tank trucks to equate to one barge, think about the amount of work that is,” said Basye. “If we could offload 20 trucks a day, that’s five days of work to get the equivalent of one barge, which we can do in about eight hours.” According to Oakley, the aging pier needed to be replaced because it lacked the capabilities needed to meet new unified facilities criteria and continue taking on gale force winds, and waves cause by major weather events. Made of sturdier materials, the new pier will be built to not only sustain hurricane conditions, but it will also support more weight. “We want to take proactive measures to make sure that if we do get hit by a storm that we minimize the environmental impact,” said Oakley “That concrete foundation is going to be able to

hold up against the weather a lot better than wood.” The pier will also include first responder access points including a road, approximately 36 feet-wide, and a boat ramp to give first responders easier access to the surrounding waters of JBLE.

SHARPENING SKILLS TO PREVENT SEXUAL ASSAULT

A Sexual Harassment/ Assault Response and Prevention Program pin is worn by a U.S. Army Soldier at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, April 25, 2018. The SHARP team members aimed to provide a more lighthearted environment for Soldiers to engage in a discussion about sexual assault prevention.
By Airman 1st Class Monica Roybal 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, VA.
The 93rd Signal Brigade hosted a Sexual Harassment/ Assault Response and Prevention Program training presentation in Fort Eustis’ Jacobs Conference Center at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, April 25, 2018. The training event aimed to provide Soldiers with skills to build respectful relationships and tools to apply effective communication with partners in support of April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month Traditionally, this annual training is delivered through lectures and projected slides. This year Quenita Samuel, 93rd Signal Brigade SHARP victim advocate, said she wanted to break tradition for a more engaging conversation with Soldiers. “We want to make Soldiers feel more comfortable with starting a conversation about relationships and intimacy,” said Samuel. “I think they will be more receptive in a more engaging and interactive environment as opposed to a policy-driven lecture.” Soldiers had the opportunity to participate in a discus-
sion with guest speaker Mike Domitrz, founder of the Date Safe Project, a national organization advocating the importance of healthy dating environments and a clearer understanding of consent. Domitrz performed his one-man show titled, “Can I Kiss You?,” a presentation that uses humor and personal anecdotes to create an open dialogue about respect, consent and sexual assault prevention. The unconventional training relied on group participation and called for Soldiers to share their opinions or personal stories. The discussion yielded different points of view from participants as well as laughter and lightheartedness. “Sexual assault is a very serious subject and can be hard to openly talk about,” said U.S. Army Pvt. Kamille Delgadillo, Foxtrot Company, 222nd Aviation Regiment, 1st Aviation Battalion, 128th Aviation Brigade CH-47 helicopter repairer. “The way [Domitrz] incorporated humor made it easier for us to get involved and talk about what we can do to look out for each other and how to take care of sexual assault victims.” For more information, call the SHARP office at (877) 995-5247

talk, but I’m not sure I really understand what you said.” He said, “That’s OK. You’re probably not alone.” I hate to make predictions of things that won’t happen, but I think autonomous vehicles are a long way in the future. I’m going to say that the liability issues associated with this are really enormous. I also think that it’s going to be very difficult to have systems that are foolproof. I think that having systems that are truly autonomous, driving vehicles on roads with a mixture of other autonomous vehicles and autonomous humans who are distracted, is going to be a tough nut to crack. AIRMAN MAGAZINE: Having worked on the Star Wars program, were you impressed at the first ICBM [we] shot down about eight months ago? DR. JOSEPH: No, I’m not surprised at that. I will always say I’m surprised it took so long, but it’s a hard problem. They chose to go down a route that was very difficult and they really weren’t shooting an ICBM. They were actually shooting the reentry vehicles and that’s much harder than a bright object like a rocket. AIRMAN MAGAZINE: Do you think conflicts push us forward scientifically? DR. JOSEPH: Fear is a powerful thing. I think there are areas of science that operate independently of that but there seems to be a development path for research. We do things for a number of years and we make a lot of improvements, then the improvements get smaller and smaller and we sort of reached this asymptote. It usually means that our scientific knowledge is sort of maxed out or technology has maxed out and we as a nation put those things away for awhile, and they still are going on, but at a much lower level. Then the science and technology gets better and we see opportunities pick up again. We did this in energy. In the ‘70s we had an energy program. We did solar, geothermal, wind and we looked at all different forms as well as conservation. We got to a point where we had made great strides, but then the price of oil came down and there was no longer such a need to do things differently. That happened when the technologies were just sort of leveling off and we put it away for a number of years and then we came back to it about 10 years ago. We’ve found that solar cells were much more efficient than they had been 40 years earlier and we found similar things in other technology areas so it’s just the way we do things. You might say that missile defense went into a period where they were working a very hard problem. They were working it carefully and we’ve reached another point where now we need to see what’s out there that we can grab and use to go after a ballistic missile. The whole idea is to devalue the ballistic missiles. Countries don’t buy more of things that have less and less value every day — hopefully no one does.
AIRMAN MAGAZINE: What drives you in science? DR. JOSEPH: Curiosity, it’s the desire to know why something works and that’s one of the things I look for when I look at research programs. One of your questions was, so what are your favorite research programs? I don’t have any favorites. I haven’t been here long enough to make these big decisions about them, but I look for characteristics. Is this being pursued with curiosity — the desire to know what we don’t know? Is it being tackled with integrity? Are we willing to report results the way they come in? Not the way someone else might want them to be. Traceability is, can we look back and see that the fundamental science that this technology, for instance, has come from and can we look ahead to see where it is we want it to go? So it’s looking in both directions back in time and forward in time. Value is, do we know what value this would have for the Air Force or beyond the Air Force to the national security standing of the U.S. because part of our mission is to support the other services. We support the State Department and other parts of the national security enterprise. And last, validation, and this is a big one. Are we doing demonstrations and experiments to actually see whether nature agrees with us? So, we think something ought to do something. Every once in awhile it’s important to pull everything together and do a big experiment with as many of the pieces as we can practically use and see what happens. I have to tell you from developing systems in the past, when you do that you learn so much because they’re sometimes very simple things that don’t work together. So those are the things I look for in the programs I’m looking at. AIRMAN MAGAZINE: What would you like to see while you’re here? What developments would you like to see in the Air Force? DR. JOSEPH: That’s part of that value question. Where is the value in all of what we’re doing? I’m not here for long. This has historically been a two-year assignment, so I’m realistic about what you can see in that timeframe, but I would like to see an understanding of this multi-domain command and control. I would like to see that fleshed out in terms of an operational view. I think the chief does a great job of explaining it and now there has to be some meat put on the bones. I would like to see some of these technologies become very dynamic in terms of the progress. I would like to see our supporting systems like our acquisition process and our procurement systems that our personnel systems respond and understand how important they are to this progress. You know you’re not important if you can just slow something down. If that’s your only way you can be important you need to go home at night ashamed of yourself. Rather how do you make something happen? I told the chief on Friday, and I told Col. Ewy just a little while ago that we need people who
May 4, 2018 want to do something, not people who want something to do. And I think we have a lot of really good people. It takes a combination of leadership and commitment. Right now we have the leadership and we have the commitment at the top level and that part in the center needs to get over their fear and get with it. I really hope to see that happen because they will establish a culture for the younger people who are following them and hopefully we’ll retain more of the really dynamic young people that we have now and they won’t feel like the model is, when you get to the middle you got to clamp down on anything that might embarrass you. AIRMAN MAGAZINE: Sitting in your position and seeing the long history of the Air Force, you’ve seen a lot of changes. How can you look back at the Air Force culture and the way you described it as traceability? How has that affected science technology? DR. JOSEPH: Well, I think for the most part it’s been good. For most of the history of the Air Force we’ve had leadership that recognizes the key to future readiness is largely in technology and some of the operating practices that brings in. There has always been a spirit of adventure and at some point I’m not sure what happened. So, we were talking about the industrial age before, people will tell you we’re in the information age today, but I think we are in an age of what I would call optimization. We think we’re going to build perfect things. We don’t realize that nothing is effective for very long and that you have to keep moving. When we decide we’re going to build a system we seem to want to design the perfect system the way we see it. Then it takes us so long to realize that system to make it real that generally by the time we put it in place it only has a few years of validity left. Then it’s obsolete or it’s approaching obsolescence and we have to start on the next one. If we can shorten that development time, we will get more ideas and we will move faster with those ideas. At some point your adversaries decide that this is not going to work, that we are going to move faster. No matter what we say about resources, we have more resources than most of our adversaries. So I think when it comes to the Air Force we have this heritage of exploration and dynamic technology development. When I worked with NASA one of my favorite places to go was Dryden, which was out at Edwards Air Force Base, and that’s where they did the aeronautical development and testing and I met a man named, Milt Thompson. Milt was a former F-15 Eagle pilot. Milt was probably in his sixties or seventies, but he was the most gung ho, forward leaning, technology guy that I had been around in a long time. It just demonstrates that that was part of our past and it can be part of our future because we have a lot of people in the Air Force today who are excited about what they do. I saw them in the technology area at AFRL out at Wright Patterson AFB and at Kirtland AFB. These people really know why they’re doing this and they’re excited about it. If we can harness that excitement, enthusiasm and intelligence, we can do great things.
