21st SW receives Omaha Trophy for global operations By Senior Airman Rose Gudex 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — “There is no more global operations capability than you’ll find in (the 21st Space Wing),” said Gen. John E. Hyten, U. S. Strategic Command commander. “They are as far north as Thule Air Base, Greenland, south across the entire United States and spread out all over the world. “ The 21st Space Wing was awarded the Omaha Trophy, recognizing the team as USSTRATCOM’s premier space or cyberspace unit for global operations during a ceremony at the auditorium on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, April 6. Col. Doug Schiess, 21st SW commander, accepted the award from Hyten and Mogens Bay, Strategic Command Consultation Committee. The 21st SW provides missile warning and space control to North American Aerospace Defense Command and USSTRATCOM through a network of command and control units, and ground and space-based sensors operated by geographically separated units around the world. “From your operational command’s perspective, there is not much of a larger award you can get,” Hyten said.

AFSPC commander unveils three major space initiatives at 33rd Space Symposium By 1st Lt. Christopher Merian Headquarters Air Force Space Command Public Affairs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Air Force unveiled three significant space initiatives at the 33rd Space Symposium here Tuesday. During a keynote address, General Jay Raymond, commander of Air Force Space Command, announced a new office for space at the Air Staff, a new warfighting construct for space, and improvements in space battle management command and control. Raymond highlighted the 35-year history of AFSPC, its Airmen, and how the command has evolved from its creation during the Cold War, its first combat engagement during Operation Desert Storm, and the current space threats our nation faces today. He noted the successful test of an anti-satellite weapon by the Chinese in 2007, which created more than 3,000 pieces of space debris, and marked the beginning of a new era for space. “That event marked the third phase of this command — the modern era for military space, where space is a joint warfighting domain,” said Raymond. “Just like air, land and sea, space is a warfighting domain and the Airmen of AFSPC are joint warfighters.” See Initiatives page 10 (U.S. Air Force graphic)

A WRINKLE OF FATE
Mom becomes Family Child Care provider By Margie Arnold 21st Force Support Squadron Marketing
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A wrinkle of fate led Irene Penaflor to become a Family Child Care provider. At the time, her three-year-old son had health issues, so, rather than look for a job outside the home, she stayed home to give him the focused care he needed. While she was caring for him, she realized a couple of crucial things. One is that she loves children. She adores them! And then, number two, she gave serious thought to caring for other peoples’ children in her home. With encouragement from her husband, Penaflor completed required training and became a certified FCC provider for the U.S. Air Force. When she opened her door to her first FCC child, a three-month old, she fussed over her the way she fusses over her own children. Being a provider is work, no doubt about it, but the rewards are many, and they don’t end when those children grow older and move on. Well, that three-month old girl is now 11 years old, and she and Penaflor stay in touch, texting one another from time to time. “The best part is watching them grow and bonding with them,” Penaflor said. Currently, Penaflor has several children in her care, one of which is an eight-month-old. “We do baby sign language, which children learn with repetition. It’s fun to see them pick it up and be able to communicate with you,” she says.
F R E E
Young children learn and grow quickly, sometimes making major advances seemingly overnight. When parents arrive to pick up their children, Penaflor shares with them what their child did or said that day so the parents feel connected to their child’s development, even though they’re at work. She also admits being sensitive to how important it is for parents to be the first to witness their child’s milestones, such as their first word or first step. FCC providers are not babysitters, said Penaflor. Janet Martineau, FCC coordinator at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, emphasized they’re certified and licensed in-home care providers for Air Force families living either on or off base, and their homes must comply with Air Force child care regulation. Air Force standards for child care are more stringent than those of the state of Colorado. During unannounced monthly inspections providers can make sure their homes and practices are compliant with Air Force regulations, which are all about providing children with a safe and vibrant learning environment, Martineau added. FCC providers will hold functions for the children in their care. For example, they have functions such as Easter, a fall fest, and a spaghetti dinner. They can also hold a summer bash, where they make their own ice cream and enjoy a splash pad. It’s great camaraderie for the care providers and a blast for the kids. See Provider page 7

AgFest: Going to the farm without leaving Peterson By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo — When a person sits down to eat a meal, science isn’t usually the topic at the forefront of their thoughts. Colorado State University Extension professionals are reaching out to fifth grade students in an effort to change that. AgFest was held March 27 at the R.P. Lee Youth Center, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The event employed a hands-on approach to use science, technology, engineering and math to help students learn about the importance of agricultural food production. “Our overall goal is to engage military-connected youth, as they move around the world, with 4-H programs that build life skills, teach resiliency and make them feel a part of the global 4-H community,” said Vanessa Tranel, CSU extension agent, 4-H Youth Development for the military. About 85 youth from Peterson AFB and the United States Air Force Academy gathered to make butter, talk steaks, use navigation skills, and see what goes into growing the crops used for the food they eat each day. CSU Extension educators came from 12 Colorado counties and the campus in Fort Collins to set up and teach at the event, Tranel said. This event was the first military AgFest held in the seven-year history of the Extension AGFest program, said Vicki Rygiel, school age program coordinator at the Peterson Youth Center. Youth learned about where their food comes from, how it is regulated and produced to provide the highest nutritional value,” Rygiel said. “They learned the importance of animals and insects in agriculture, how the ingredients in their foods are created, grown and infused into other products from Colorado agricultural producers.” The young people made their way through 10 different stations: Dairy Production, Global Positioning Systems, Embryology, Water Quality & Erosion, Microbes & Bacteria, Plant Science & Biotechnology, Pollination & Honey Bees, Power & Simple Tools, Range Land Ecology, and What’s Your Beef. The festival was designed to address concerns about children losing sight of the important role of agricultural food production and how STEM components are found in daily agricultural processes, according to AgFest planning committee documents. The kids enjoy the opportunity to do fun, hands-on activities and learn about new things,” Tranel said. “In the case of AgFest, we use STEM concepts to teach youth where their food comes from and the importance of agriculture and food production in Colorado.” Rygiel said the educators were excellent representatives of their subjects and did a good job incorporating STEM into the mix. “They provided a fascinating learning experience,” she said. The following day, two groups of the youth teamed with Extension educators to work on Quilts of Valor. The groups spent time learning how to make the quilts, including using sewing machines. They will be completed by volunteers and then displayed at the Colorado State Fair before being presented to veterans, according to documentation from the Extension. “Programs like AgFest are important because through the Colorado State University-Military Partnership, we can deliver research-based 4-H STEM education to military youth throughout Colorado Springs,” said Tranel.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Gen. John Hyten, U.S. Strategic Command commander, congratulates the 21st Space Wing for winning the Omaha Trophy at a ceremony in the auditorium on Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., April 6, 2017. The wing was recognized as USSTRATCOM’s premier unit for global operations.
Operations From page 1 Nebraska, created the Omaha Trophy on the 25th anniversary of the Air Force’s Strategic Air Command in 1971 to recognize the best wing in the command. When SAC stood down and USSTRACOM was activated in 1992, the tradition continued. “This recognition of excellence is a 46year tradition,” said Bay. “I couldn’t be more proud to be here with Gen. Hyten to present the Omaha Trophy to you. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in the presentation of an award recognizing your display of leadership, commitment and dedication to what we hold so dearly — our freedom.” Over the years, the award categories evolved to match the mission of USSTRATCOM. In 2008, the global operations category was added to reflect the command’s commitment to Global Security for America. The other four categories include Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Operations, Submarine Ballistic Missile Operations,
Strategic Aircraft Operations and Strategic Bomber Operations. This is the first time the 21st SW has received the award since the creation of the category in 2008. Hyten stressed the significance of the award and the scope of the USSTRATCOM mission supported by the 21st SW. “U.S. Strategic Command is 184,000 Americans all around the globe doing some of the most difficult work we need to do — from nuclear weapons, to space, to cyberspace, missile defense, and electronic warfare,” he said. “All of those capabilities are essential to the security of this nation and the 21st SW was recognized as the best of the best when awarded the Omaha Trophy.” He went on to explain the role space has in theatre operations downrange, quelling the misconception that the space mission isn’t conducted while in harm’s way. “Everywhere we are in combat, everywhere we are in the fight today, you will find space people embedded with us,” Hyten said. “If you look at this wing, we are embedded globally everywhere we go.” Schiess added to say the men and women of the 21st SW are continually monitoring
space for incoming threats to North America and its allies, in addition to monitoring the activities of any potential adversaries wishing to do harm. “We have men and women deployed downrange in the mission of space control and they put themselves in harm’s way to do their job and protect the United States and our allies,” he said. Of all the awards the 21st SW received recently, to include the Moorman Award and the Harries Award, Schiess said the Omaha Trophy means the most. “It says what we do every day is incredible, whether you’re making sure someone is medically ready to go downrange, guarding the gates, or making sure we can get our space Airmen out of town if we have to with our logistics readiness and airfield folks,” he said. “If you’re at one of our missile warning, missile defense or space situational awareness sites, or ultimately going downrange — you are all amazing Airmen. “You do a great job. You do it for our nation and you do it for United States Strategic Command, and I couldn’t be more proud of you all. I love being a knight and thank you for everything you do.”

SMDC CG addresses Space Symposium attendees By Dottie K. White U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command and Joint Functional Component Command
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Army’s top space and missile defense leader spoke on the importance of space capabilities and the people performing those missions during the 33rd Space Symposium at the Broadmoor here, April 6. Lt. Gen. James Dickinson, commanding general, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command and Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense, provided an update on the commands’ efforts in the space domain. Both SMDC and JFCC IMD support a number of operational and strategic missions to include providing global communications; position, navigation, and timing; and missile warning to combatant commanders around the globe. “We continue to leverage space capabilities for today’s fight and continue to plan and innovate for tomorrow’s conflicts,” Dickinson said. “Space is critically important as a joint/coalition domain, and it will take a team effort to achieve success to stay ahead of our adversaries. “We have some of the best technology in the world, especially in the space domain, but the heart and soul of our forces are the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen,” he continued. “We could not achieve success if it was not for the drive, dedication and passion of our people. The Army Space Warriors who deliver our critical space-enabled capabilities are the career field Functional Area 40s or space professionals and the Army’s space cadre.” These Army space professionals are assigned to 11 time zones at 23 world-wide locations. “The Army depends upon space capabilities to enable and enhance land warfare, and virtually every Army and joint operation benefits from space capabilities,” said Dickinson. “Today, we use space largely to enhance the effectiveness of our combat forces. We can communicate; navigate; target, find, and fix the enemy; anticipate weather; and protect our forces based on combat and support assets available from space.” Dickinson said space is a vital enabler and component to the Army’s land warfare capability, and that the Army is the largest user of space in the Department of Defense since many of the systems depend on space-based capabilities. “Some of these systems include the LandWarNet that

The people who provide, plan and synchronize these space capabilities are the Army’s space cadre community.” Dickinson closed by reiterating the importance of the
people and the importance of providing the most advanced space capabilities to the Warfighter, DoD and the nation. “Always, we must protect our Homeland, our Warfighters and our way of life,” Dickinson said. “Our trained and ready Soldiers are the very best. They continue to operate from remote, globally deployed locations and remain on point to defend the homeland and protect the joint force and critical assets around the globe. Our Soldiers remain some of the most talented, resilient, and professional Soldiers I have ever served with in my career. We owe a large debt of gratitude for the sacrifices of these amazing Soldiers and their remarkable families.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The new Joint Tactical Ground Station training facility was dedicated to the “Father of JTAGS” during a ceremony and open house here, April 6. Lt. Gen. James Dickinson, commanding general, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command gave remarks during the Joint Tactical Ground Station Dr. Peter G. Pappas Training Facility dedication. Dickinson spoke about Pappas’ legacy and his many contributions during his career. “One of the most impressive contributions that he made during his lifetime is his contributions to missile warning and the creation of JTAGS.” Dickinson said the Scud missiles used during the first Gulf War in 1991 provided the push to speed up development of infrared technology, which ultimately became JTAGS. “These missiles used against U.S. forces in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, were the reason 27 Soldiers were killed and 98 wounded on Feb 26, 1991,” said Dickinson. “Dr. Pappas had already been working on an early warning method, but this war accelerated the need to get missile warning into theater instead of at the strategic level where it had always been. This concept would lead to a system that provides warning to our Servicemen and women in a timely manner for them to take appropriate action to protect themselves. “He envisioned having real-time stereo processing of ballistic missile early warning satellite data to create a more accurate picture of the theater ballistic missile warning threat that was starting to threaten deployed forces,” Dickinson continued. “He also saw the distinct advantages of having a missile warning system in theater versus having it in the United States.” With Pappas leadership, his team successfully demonstrated operational surveillance using satellite resources to detect tactical missile launches. This success resulted in a joint Army and Navy program to develop and deploy a tactical unit, which is known today as JTAGS. This system has successfully served the nation and the Warfighter since 1997, which marks this year as the 20th anniversary of this system. While the system continues to receive upgrades as technology improves, the main premise upon which it was created remains essentially the same and that is to provide effective early warning to our Warfighters on the ground in order to save lives. Dickson said the JTAGS system is deployed to four locations around the globe providing theater missile warning to American forces, allies and partners. “I understand that unofficially we have trained the 100th class of JTAGS students and that we have trained over 1,000 Soldiers since the inception of the class. These Soldiers complete their training here and proceed to their next assignment to one of the four operational JTAGS locations stationed around the world in Germany, Korea, Japan and Qatar. When you stop and think about the magnitude of the task of providing missile warning to thousands of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, our allied forces and partners, civilians and families, it is quite an impressive accomplishment by Dr. Pappas.” In summary, Dickinson said, “While we do not know the exact number of lives that have been saved because of the technology…we do know it has made a tremendous difference for the Servicemembers and their families. While I know that Dr. Pappas had a Doctorate in Laser Physics and was not a medical doctor, he did share a common achievement … he saved many lives through his intellect, perseverance and selfless service to a grateful nation.”

Provider From page 2
“One of the things I love about being a Family Child Care provider here at Peterson AFB, aside from the kids, is the support and backup I get from the FCC coordinator and from the other providers,” said Penaflor. The FCC office has an abundance of ageappropriate equipment that providers can borrow. This equipment is meant to enrich the play and learning experience for children. Plus, Penaflor adds, the FCC coordinator is supportive and encouraging of her efforts to achieve additional professional certification that would advance her career in the child care field. Penaflor has worked hard to foster a mutual deep affection between her and the children in her care. They trust her, just as their parents do. “I love what I do, and I’m doing my part in support of the Air Force,” Penaflor says with a wide grin. For anyone considering becoming an FCC provider, Penaflor has this advice: • Above all else, you have to love children. • An FCC provider wears multiple hats: mom, cook, and educator. Embrace them all. • If you’re thinking about this as a career, ask to do a job shadow for a day and observe the FCC provider’s role with children and their role with parents. • Caring for small children can seem overwhelming but don’t be discouraged. Laugh at those little stressful moments. • An FCC provider deals with multiple personalities — the children’s and the parent’s. Keep an open mind. Be constructive in your communication. • Remember: Every day is full of opportunities. For more information about becoming a FCC provider at Peterson AFB, call the FCC coordinator at 719-556-4322.

NIMBLE TITAN Strengthens Multinational Missile Defense Cooperation By JFCC IMD Press Release Joint Functional Component Command
(Courtesty photo)
AMERSFOORT, The Netherlands — NIMBLE TITAN director Lt. Col. Joel Rousey presents Brig. Gen. R.J. Jeulink, deputy director of Plans -- Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Netherlands, a NIMBLE TITAN director coin following his keynote speech at the pre-conflict event in Amersfoort, Netherlands, March 13-17.
AMERSFOORT, The Netherlands — Twenty-six participant nations and international organizations came together March 13-17 for the first major event of the two-year NIMBLE TITAN 18 missile defense experimentation campaign. NIMBLE TITAN is an unclassified, multinational, missile defense series of experiments executed within an integrated air and missile defense context. The campaign focuses on regional and global challenges through cooperatively developed concepts, objectives, and analysis. The campaign is sponsored by U.S. Strategic Command and led by the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense. Through NIMBLE TITAN nations explore potential policies and operational constructs that will need to be in place in the future to facilitate cooperative missile defense. It serves as a forum for multinational collaboration that facilitates the exchange of views and experimentation to expand international relationships and enhances regional missile defense, and strengthens deterrence. Multinational participants from Ministries of Defense and foreign affairs jointly shape objectives, concept design, data collection and analysis.The experiment involves mock air and missile threats from fictitious countries in a scenario based 10 years in the future. As the most recent NIMBLE TITAN event began, the director of Plans, Policy, and Allied Integration of JFCC IMD, Col. Tom Hancock, emphasized the importance of the nations and organizations coming together in cooperation. “The ability to examine issues related to policies, integration of plans, and future technical interoperability is critical to making progress in collective missile defense,” Hancock said. “As adversaries continue to mature their ballistic missile threats, as well as their air breathing threats such as cruise missiles, unmanned aerial systems, and hypersonic glide vehicles, our ability to protect our homelands, coalitions and partners becomes increasingly more challenging.” Hancock went on to say “the true value of NIMBLE
TITAN is your participation and engagement with each other and the relationships you will develop this week. Ultimately, the outcomes of this event will inform and influence your national policies and procedures, but it is the relationships with each other that will be most important in times of collective crisis.” The NIMBLE TITAN event was also opened by Brig. Gen. R.J. Jeulink, deputy director of Plans — Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Netherlands. In his speech, Jeulink highlighted the rapidly changing security environment worldwide and how events like NIMBLE TITAN are important to the future of integrated air and missile defense coalitions and investigating its complex challenges. “It provides a venue to explore concepts, try new methods of planning and assignment, identify legal issues and define means to overcome those,” Jeulink said. “I am a great supporter and believer of experimental settings like this, where our thought processes and procedures are challenged.” In addition to being the first execution event in the two-year NIMBLE TITAN 18 campaign, this event was unique as it focused on the pre-conflict time frame and dealt mainly with the challenges and potential solutions that occur prior to hostilities. Examples of topics included deterrence and dissuasion of state and non-state actors as well as the political and military actions that could be used to de-escalate tensions. NIMBLE TITAN also experiments with missile defense system interoperability and integration and explores integrated air and missile defense opportunities that support multinational planning and execution. As part of the series, event host nations are offered the opportunity to share information on their national capabilities. At this event the Netherlands Ministry of Defense provided a briefing and an operational demonstration of the SMART-L radar system. Observations, recommendations, and products from the event were captured to inform potential future military or national policy actions. Planning has already begun for the next NIMBLE TITAN event, which will continue to expand on the work accomplished this week and through previous years’ events. This provides a continuing forum to examine policy and military solutions for all participating nations.

WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. — Capt. Lacey Dean, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, shows her enthusiasm at mile seven of the 28th Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., March 19.
SMDC represented in 28th Bataan Memorial Death March By Dottie K. White U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/ Army Forces Strategic Command
WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. — To commemorate the 75th anniversary of World War II’s infamous 65-mile Bataan Death March, more than 7,000 people gathered at White Sands Missile Range March 19 to participate in the 28th Bataan Memorial Death March. Capt. Lacey Dean, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, and her husband Brian Burek were among the participants who took on the 26.2-mile course through the high desert terrain. The annual march is in honor of the heroic Servicemembers who defended the Philippine Islands during WWII, sacrificing their freedom, health and, in many cases, their very lives. Dean said there were seven survivors at the march who seemed very happy to share their stories. And that one of the survivors, 99-year-old Ben Skardon, even
walked eight and a half miles of the course. “Seeing that was very motivating,” Dean said. “Even with the blisters, high heat index and harsh terrain, I’m really glad I did this. Walking 26 miles is nothing in the states where you get to go home afterwards. My husband and I went to the spa the next day. They went to POW camps.” Another part of the march included contributing a unit coin to the Bataan Memorial Death March section of the White Sands Missile Range Museum. “It was nice to have SMDC’s coin there,” said Dean. “For the 28 years that they have been doing this event, they have unit coins represented in the museum of Servicemembers who have come and marched representing their units for each of those years. These coins will be preserved at the museum forever.” Overall, Dean said this was an incredible experience. “I think that everyone, especially those in the military, should go out and experience this event. Everyone there starts tearing up at some point. To be able to have solidarity with our brothers and sisters in arms was pretty cool.”

Initiatives From page 1
Raymond introduced the Space Warfighting Construct, which combines transformational and warfighting-focused command initiatives to maintain space superiority in the 21st century. This new era in space is defined by a contested, degraded and operationally-limited environment. Raymond spoke about how the command is evolving to ensure our space capabilities are available for the warfighter in this new environment. “Building the command and integrating the capabilities of the command into joint military operations has positioned us to meet the multidomain challenges we currently face,” said Raymond. “When our battlefield Airmen go into the fight today they do so with air, space, and cyberspace in their quiver. Space and cyber are the DNA of multi-domain integration.”
Another major space initiative announced was the development of a Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) system. “Our space warfighting CONOPS relies on the ability to command and control across multiple domains,” said Raymond. Space BMC2 will enable operational commanders to simultaneously maneuver space assets and direct defensive operations against multiple threats while maintaining space effects for the warfighter. “We activated the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC), now the National Space Defense Center, to build unity of effort between the DOD and the intelligence community to effectively command and control in a contested domain, which ultimately provides us the capability to be able to fight and win a war if it extends into space” said Raymond. “Let me be clear with everybody in this room, we are not interested in getting in that fight. Nobody wins that fight, but we will be prepared for it,” said the general.
In addition to the new Space Warfighting Construct and Space BMC2 program, Raymond also announced the creation of a new 3-star deputy chief of staff for space at the Air Force Headquarters in Washington. “Just like we have a deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence, we’re going to have a deputy chief of staff for space. They will come to work every day focused on making sure we can organize, train, and equip our forces to meet the ever increasing challenges in the space domain.” Raymond summed up his remarks by reiterating the importance of the mission of AFSPC. “There is no way we could do what we do today without the incredible efforts of this command,” said the general. “Our joint warfighting partners need to have space all the time. That’s not a given anymore, we’re hard at work to make sure that it is,” added Raymond. “And it is going to take the support of government, industry, and the support of our international partners.”

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — The application window is open for active-duty Air Force captains interested in applying for the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Prestigious Ph.D. Program which exposes rising officers to a unique learning experience at a top-tier university. The program offers the opportunity for three captains to obtain their doctoral degrees in strategic studies at an elite civilian institution, beginning in 2018, in order to build a cadre of strategic thinkers. “The more opportunities Airmen have to broaden their skill sets, the more capabilities they bring to the fight,” said Tech. Sgt. Rebecca Fobbs, noncommissioned officer in charge of officer developmental education at the Air Force Personnel Center. The program’s premise is that the intellectual development of officers, especially in critical thinking skills relatively early in a career, will result in Air Force and joint leaders who have the ability to communicate

Peterson AFB honors Military Working Dogs By Shellie-Anne Espinosa 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Members of Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, honored two Military Working Dogs at a memorial service and retirement ceremony April 10, 2017, at Peterson AFB’s auditorium. Roky, 21st Security Forces squadron MWD, was honored through a memorial service. Gina, 21st SFS MWD, enjoyed a retirement after nine years in service. Roky arrived at Peterson AFB in April 2011. His End of Watch was November 2016 when he was euthanized due to a serious illness. Roky was trained in explosive detection. He was able to discover explosive substances used to construct devices that could threaten, damage or destroy personnel and property. During his time at Peterson AFB, he went on four deployments. He served at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates, and Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait.
Gina served in three deployments including Forward Operating Base Falcon, Iraq, and twice to Al Udeid AB. In a tribute to Roky’s seven years of service, fellow MWDs stood post with their handlers on either side of his kennel. The kennel sat open with his collar, lead, and badge displayed on the door. A kong toy was sitting on top and his water bowl was placed upside down in front. Roky’s final handler, Senior Airman Karissa Fitzpatrick, 21st SFS MWD handler, placed Roky’s ashes on top of the kennel before stepping up to speak of her time with him. She then accepted a plaque of remembrance from Lt. Col. Nicole Roberts, 21st SFS commander. Afterwards, Fitzpatrick placed all of Roky’s belongings inside his kennel and locked the door. Then she, along with Roberts and Tech Sgt. Brett Marzo, 21st SFS kennel master, rendered a slow salute to Roky to end the memorial service. “To say he was the best dog I ever had is a bit cliché, but it is an honest and simple statement,” Fitzpatrick said. Roky was her first MWD. Her fondest memory of her time with Roky is “Netflix and snuggles.” She said he was a goofy dog and that’s a trait she hopes to see in her MWD partners in the future. The event also celebrated MWD Gina’s retirement. Fellow MWDs, handlers and SFS defenders recognized her nineyear career. She arrived at Peterson AFB in June 2006, and had a full career. She was trained in explosive detection, like Roky, and also went to Patrol Dog School. Afterwards, she was able to detect, deter and assist in the apprehension of criminals and protect her handler from any harm that criminals may present. Gina served in three deployments including Forward Operating Base Falcon, Iraq, and twice to Al Udeid AB. Gina’s handler, Senior Airman Amanda Legault, 21st SFS MWD handler, said that Gina always changed her days for the better. “Gina was so excited to get her day started,” said Legault. “She loved to work.” After nine years of service, Gina was adopted by Legault. She is excited to let Gina be a regular dog and finally relax. Legault called Gina a big cuddler and says her plans for Gina’s future are simple. “I’m definitely going to spoil her,” said Legault. “She deserves it.”

The Air Force has identified 10 DSDs for spring 2017 that create, develop and care for Airmen. Airmen nominated for developmental special duties must have a demonstrated record of exceptional performance and a high capacity to lead due to their unique leadership roles and the responsibility to mentor and mold young Airmen.
Developmental special duties broaden experience By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH, Texas — The Air Force has identified 1,175 positions across 10 developmental special duties, or DSDs, for spring 2017. Identified as developmental due to their unique leadership roles and the responsibility to mentor and mold young Airmen, the 10 duties are: Career Assistance Advisor, Military Training Instructor, Military Training Leader, Air Force Academy Military Training Instructor, Airman and Family Readiness Center Noncommissioned Officer, First Sergeant, Air Force Honor Guard NCO, Recruiter, Professional Military Education Instructor and specialty training instructors identified with a “T” prefix. Commanders are encouraged to nominate any Airmen in the rank of staff, technical and master sergeant they feel is the right fit for these critical duties. Nominees must have a demonstrated record of exceptional performance and a high capacity to lead. “When America’s sons and daughters commit themselves to service, the Air Force takes on the charge to develop them into Airmen,” said Master Sgt. Falon Holman, the noncommissioned officer in charge of developmental special duty assignments at the Air Force Personnel Center. “Airmen selected for DSD must be the best of the best in the Air Force — an ambassador and role model for the Air Force core values of integrity, service and excellence.” The nomination process provides commanders, through their respective major commands, an opportunity to nominate their best Airmen to fill these critical positions, providing a developmental career path. To be considered DSD for nomination, Airmen must be staff, technical or master

sergeants with at least four years of service remaining before they reach their high year of tenure. They require a score of 90 or above on the last fitness test, or 80 or above on the last two tests. In addition, nominees must have exhibited excellence in their core career field with a skill level commensurate with their grade, and have a performance assessment rating of either of the top two ratings under the new rating system or an overall “5” under the previous rating system on their last three enlisted performance reports. The DSD nomination process truly begins at the unit level. “Squadron commanders are in the best position to know their Airmen’s strengths, abilities and interests,” Holman said. “They review the developmental duties and identify two for each nominee. However, Airmen interested in performing developmental special duties should ensure their leadership is aware of their aspirations.” Airmen who are not nominated for DSD, but still interested in career-developing opportunities, can go to the Enlisted Quarterly Assignment Listing-Plus website and review the special duty catalog. Airmen who are nominated for a developmental duty, but are not selected, remain eligible for selection until the end of each DSD cycle, in the event of future openings. Developmental Special Duty qualifications are outlined in the special duty catalog. Additional information about specific rank requirements, nomination eligibility criteria, process and other specifics can be found on myPers under Special Duty Assignment Programs on the Active Duty: Enlisted Assignments Home Page or select “Active Duty Enlisted” from the dropdown menu and search “DSD.” For more information about Air Force personnel programs, go to myPers.

Goldfein: Continuing resolution detrimental to Air Force By Staff Sgt. Alyssa C. Gibson Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON — With the threat of a yearlong continuing resolution lingering, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein and his fellow service chiefs called on Congress to approve an appropriation bill for fiscal year 2017 during a hearing on the topic April 5, 2017, on Capitol Hill. Already six months into a CR, the prolonged budget challenges have impacted the Air Force’s ability to sustain warfighting capacity, improve readiness, modernize the force, and invest in research and development to maintain decisive advantage over near-peer competitors. “It’s unfortunate that we are now discussing yet another extended continuing resolution, which has already been said is the equivalent of a mini-sequestration round,” Goldfein testified before the House Committee on Armed Services. “We still haven’t recovered from round one.” A continuing resolution would leave the Air Force $2.8 billion short in the last five months of its 2017 budget and negatively affect our Airmen, our operations and maintenance, and our modernization efforts. Flying squadrons not deployed or preparing to de-
ploy would be grounded in June. Flight training would be impacted in July. Readiness exercises may be canceled. Thirteen thousand Air Force families would be delayed in their stateside moves. End-strength growth would halt. Retention bonuses would be deferred. Modernization efforts would stop. And, morale would decline. “Pilots who don’t fly, maintainers who don’t maintain, air traffic controllers who don’t control — leave,” Goldfein said. “And, while we’ll never buy ourselves out of this shortage, an extended CR will also negate the pilot bonuses Congress authorized, which will break faith with the force.” Even with the budget uncertainty, the Air Force’s senior leader said the joint force will answer the nation’s call, but made clear the committee understood his concerns. “As a service chief, I have many obligations, but one remains paramount,” Goldfein said. “Every Airman we send into harm’s way must be properly organized, trained, equipped and led to succeed in their mission, and we must take care of their families while they’re gone. This is our moral obligation. A yearlong CR makes meeting this obligation extremely difficult.”

The purpose of D&TF is to prepare trainees for basic training, technical school, and an Air Force Reserve career. “The goal is to get our trainees on a C-130 Hercules tour every four months,” said Tech. Sgt. Jemario Patterson, 302nd AW D&TF program coordinator. “We tour other 302nd AW squadrons so trainees can learn the mission of each unit and see reservists in action.” (Right) PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Tech.
