HELPING SURVIVOR FAMILIES:
Local chapter hosts first Snowflake event By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — To support the families of fallen military members, the local chapter of the Non Commissioned Officers Association held a Snowflake Event Aug. 21, 2017 at Security Services Field, Colorado Springs, Colorado. “Snowflake events are designed to be a day of fun for children of fallen military heroes, providing an opportunity to get out with other survivor families,” according to official NCOA guidelines. “Events are held at various locations around the nation so families can enjoy them without extensive travel. “For us it was important to show the families they were not forgotten,” said Master Sgt. Gerald Morey, 21st Comptroller Squadron/Wing Staff Agency first sergeant and member of the NCOA Air Academy chapter. “This was the first time our chapter held a Snowflake event.” The events are smaller, localized versions of the four-day Snowball Express event held each year in December for families of fallen military members. Attendees are treated to special activities and receive gifts to help them connect with others who are facing similar circumstances. Several families from multiple services participated in the event, with one family travelling from Denver to take part, Morey said. They all received free admission to the Sky Sox game at See Families page 4

Aiming to keep aircraft and wildlife from hazardous encounters By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — A group of Arctic Hares congregate near the runway at Thule Air Base, Greenland, Aug. 15, 2017. Wildlife can be a recipe for disaster when it and aircraft share the same space. The 21st Space Wing Bird/Wildlife Airstrike Hazard team from Peterson Air Force Base visited Thule AB to assess mitigation needs.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Descending above the runway and coming into the wind, the wings are aligned. It’s a beautiful day for a flight and vision is clear for hundreds of miles. In the midst of this peaceful scene a shadow suddenly darkens the daylight; a loud, high-pitched screech encompasses the senses. Finally a thud and breaking glass mark a collision between bird and a jet airplane. During 2016, the Air Force Safety Center reported about 4,000 such incidents, some resulting in human injury, at a cost of roughly $21 million. These violent encounters between wildlife and aircraft are a serious issue around airports. The Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard team exists to address the issue and take necessary measures to prevent them from occurring. “The program, in a nutshell, is the mitigation of wildlife hazards on, and around airports to reduce the risk of wildlife strikes,” said Darron Haughn, 21st Space Wing aviation safety manager. Mitigation involves consideration of various factors.

Red or yellow? An overly brief history on the dynamic and difficult pathway to women’s suffrage and women’s equality day
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Red rose or yellow rose? Yes or No? Should women be allowed the right to vote? These were the questions on the minds of 96 male legislators in Nashville, Tennessee in August 1920. These men controlled the fate of a woman’s right to vote. The 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote had been passed by Congress the previous year, however under the U.S. Constitution, 36 of the 48 existing state legislatures had to approve. By the spring of 1920, 35 states had ratified, six had rejected, and Tennessee seemed most likely to ratify of the remaining states. The Tennessee legislature’s fight over suffrage lasted for nearly a week. Then President Woodrow Wilson, under pressure by suffragists, set things in motion when he asked Tennessee Governor, Albert H. Roberts, to call a special session of the Tennessee Assembly. When the special session opened on August 9, 1920, members of the state, neighboring states, and national suffrage and anti-suffrage associations flocked to
sides engaged lawyers to look into the legal issues. A judge issued a temporary injunction restraining the governor from transmitting certification of ratification to Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby. However, ignoring the injunction, Governor Roberts signed the certification and on August 25, 1920 it was sent to Washington D.C., arriving just before 4 a.m. On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment became part of the U.S. Constitution. At the behest of Representative Bella Abzug (D-NY), in 1971 the U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day.” The date was chosen to commemorate the day in 1920 when Secretary of State Colby signed the proclamation granting American women the constitutional right to vote. The observance of Women’s Equality Day not only honors the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also highlights women’s continuing efforts toward full equality.

Included was Carrie Chapman Catt, the most prominent suffragist after the deaths of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She had taken up residence in Nashville to lobby for over a month prior to the assembly. Suffrage supporters wore yellow roses; antis wore red roses. The Tennessee State Senate went yellow, but the House was evenly divided. The Speaker of the House, Seth Walker, wearing red, entered a motion to table the resolution. This resulted in a tie vote. Then another vote, resulting in another tie. When the third roll call vote began, this time about the resolution
The man who had switched last minute was Harry Burn, a 24-year-old representative from East Tennessee who had received a letter from his mother, Phoebe E. Burn. The letter read: Dear Son: Hurrah and vote suffrage!...Don’t forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the “rat” in ratification. Your Mother. From Red to Yellow. However, this was not the end. Speaker Walker also voted in favor in an attempt to set up a vote to reconsider the resolution. The antis tried to build support for their side in anticipation of a reconsideration vote. When that did not occur, 38 legislators crossed the border into Alabama to prevent the Assembly from having a quorum on any future vote. Both

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Retired Chief Master Sgt. Dorothy (Dottie) W. Holmes joined the U.S. Air Force in May 1949 and retired in September 1979. Holmes was the first woman to retire from the U.S. Air Force with 30 years of “all Air Force” service, unlike counterparts with time in service from the Women’s Army Corps. Holmes did not plan on making the Air Force a career but her love for her assignments and work took her on a three-decade journey across Europe, Puerto Rico, Asia and throughout the U.S. Breaking milestones, she was assigned to the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1976. There, she indoctrinated the first female cadet flight, where 97 female cadets would successfully graduate in 1980. Her career and disposition embody the same spirit that drove the women who fought for the 19th amendment creating equal rights and privileges for all US citizens regardless of gender. “My generation invented the wheel,” said Holmes. “But now you are responsible for keeping it going.” Today, Holmes volunteers at the 21st Space Wing Retiree Activities Office located in the 21st Mission Support Group building.

The parents were enjoying it as much as the children.” According to Snowball Express, many longterm friendships are formed during Snowflake and Snowball Express events. Morey witnessed it himself at the Sky Sox game. “One thing that really got my attention was the bonding,” he said. “There were two boys who didn’t know each other before and were playing together within an hour.” The NCOA Air Academy chapter already has the next Snowflake event planned. This time the families will gather at the United States Air Force Academy to attend the annual Air Force vs. Army football game scheduled on November 4.

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — Three new crew members lifted off mid-day on a six hour trip to the International Space Station, riding a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, July, 20, 2017. The joint venture between the United States, Russia and Italy marks the 53rd manned trip to the ISS, otherwise known as Expedition 52-53. This is the first time four astronauts will work aboard the U.S. segment for scientific purposes. While the most obvious aspect of manned spaceflight is spacelift, there are many factors that contribute to mission effectiveness. The 20th Space Control Squadron, headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, champions its characterization, recognition and responsiveness to threats in the space domain through undergirding spacelift, the overall safety of our astronauts, and deconfliction of the ISS flight path through thousands of potential hazards 24/7. The 20th SPCS combines forces, known as force-packaging, with all of its ground-based sensors located around the world, to include both radar and optical “space weapon systems.” What once was used as simple sensors to gather data for the purposes of space traffic control are now used for Space Battle Management. Space Battle Management applies to detecting both intentional and unintentional threats to friendly assets, of which, our astronauts being the most important. The mission of 20th SPCS includes using its embedded intelligence section to maximize use of its space weapons systems to characterize, recognize and respond to threats in the space domain to achieve 21st Space Wing and United States Strategic Command commander’s intent. This is no easy task, but the Airmen of the 20th answer the call around the clock. Through cutting-edge mission planning, the 20th SPCS force-packages all its locations: Eglin Air Force Base Site C-6, White Sands Missile Range, Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, Maui Space Surveillance Complex, Redstone Arsenal and soon, U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll. The 20th SPCS identifies thousands of objects a day, and is able to detect an object the size of a softball 7,000 kilometers away and an object the size of a basketball 40,000 kilometers away. Once the Space Fence becomes operational, this new addition to the 20th will characterize threats in

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The Phased Array Space Surveillance Radar of the 20th Space Control Squadron, located at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., it is a south facing radar station that can track objects entering or leaving the atmosphere. It is one of the many tools used to ensure astronauts reach the International Space Station safely. exponentially finer detail, with far greater accuracy than ever observed before. For the purposes of Expedition 52-53, 20th SPCS tacticians tailored specific tactics, techniques and procedures for the specific protection of manned space flight and the ISS. This is much more challenging than it used to be given not only the congested nature, but the now-openly-acknowledged contested nature of the space domain. The 20th SPCS has the unique capability to use its weapons systems purely for Space Situational Awareness and the 20th has the preponderance of Space Situational Awareness capability in the Department of Defense. No other squadron is better suited to do anything from safeguarding manned space flight to recognizing a hostile action in space by another nation. For this Expedition, the tacticians of the 20th SPCS weaponeered a dynamic fence for every time the ISS passed through
its radar’s field of view. This ensured the right amount of attention was given to the astronauts’ safety, while taking away attention from less critical concerns. Given the space station’s period (how long it takes to orbit the Earth) of approximately 93 minutes, the 20th SPCS “sees” the ISS in its field of view anywhere from 5-10 times a day. For every time the ISS passes through its radar’s field of view, the integrated crew of civilian and military Airmen at the 20th SPCS optimize the squadron’s sensors to best find, fix and track the target as it passes through space. At the same time, 20th SPCS is able to recognize any concern surrounding the ISS as it passes by: potential debris, the astronauts on a spacewalk and even docking/un-docking of the Soyuz rocket. Using all of the data for Expedition 52-53, the 20th SPCS is the first sensor in the world to confirm the safety of the astronauts as they board the ISS. A remarkable feat for Airmen apart of the 21st SW.

NORFOLK, Va. —U.S. Navy Sailors render honors as the Military Sealift Command contracted ship MV Ocean Giant gets underway from Naval Station Norfolk, July 16. Ocean Giant left Virginia in support of Operation Pacer Goose 2017, the annual resupply mission to Thule Air Base.

NORFOLK, Va. — As the temperature soared into the mid-90’s in Norfolk, DLA Distribution employees raced a deadline to load critical supplies to be delivered 750 miles above the Arctic circle at Thule Air Force Base, Greenland. For four searing days in mid-July, the team prepared the Military Sealift Command-chartered MV Ocean Giant with more than 3 million lbs. of materiel in support of Pacer Goose Sustainment 2017, previously known as Operation Pacer Goose. The goal of the mission is to move a year’s worth of sustainment materiel into Thule AFB during the small window that the ice is thin enough to be broken and ships can pull into port. According to Rick Caldwell, MSC representative on site at Thule, even in the “warmer” months, the weather is still a challenge. “It’s inhospitable. The weather can go from a ‘balmy’ 35 degrees to a chilly -10 fairly quick with the constant Arctic wind.” To meet the tight timeframe for delivery, DLA Distribution and MSC Atlantic had to begin preparations to resupply the air base many months in advance. And planning for the mission is no small effort, says Caldwell. Prior to the execution portion of Pacer Goose, extensive preparation is required. “There are pre-planning meetings and various site surveys, depending on the cargo to be carried. There is a tremendous amount of paperwork that is required… [and] we have to produce vessels schedules, briefings, clearances for crews and vessels, a Letter of Instruction, Planning Order documents and more.” Similarly, DLA Distribution conducted numerous planning meetings and coordination efforts throughout the spring to ensure required supplies, such as vehicles, medical supplies, dry goods, Commissary and Base Exchange supplies, and specialized equipment to handle jobs in ice and snow, were ready for load and the proper
loading equipment in place. It’s not as simple as loading some boxes, says Isai Vazquez, marine cargo specialist for DLA Distribution Norfolk. “Required items can vary greatly in size, so we also need to determine the equipment needed to lift those items onto the ship. This year we onloaded a 68,000 lb. Aircraft loader a 35,000 lb. Air Force fire truck, among other items.” Upon the loaded vessel’s departure from Norfolk, MSCLANT tracked the ship’s path to Thule, and, prior to arrival, ensured the port was clear for safe and timely entry. A Canadian Coast Guard Ice Breaker escorted the ship toward the end of its journey, providing a helicopter for ice recon, and powerful radar to assist in ice tracking/vessel transit. “Having an icebreaker for escort is cheap insurance, as opposed to not having one and one of our vessels gets into dire straits,” said Caldwell. The organization also relied on the National Ice Center to provide Ice Analysis updates to the vessels, Caldwell and operations staff at MSCLANT. Following a multi-day offload and subsequent onload of items to be removed from the base, the Ocean Giant began its return to DLA Distribution Norfolk. Upon its arrival back at Naval Station Norfolk on August 18, the DLA Distribution team offloaded more than 2 million lbs. of retrograde cargo such as trash and items for disposal, including several vehicles. “I am extremely proud of the entire team and we are pleased to have contributed to yet another successful execution of the resupply in Thule. The superb and seamless execution of this complex operation is a result of the strong and valued partnerships between DLA, the Air Force, Military Sealift Command and Navy Cargo Handling Battalion,” said Navy Supply Corps Capt. Andrew Matthews, DLA Distribution Norfolk commander. Military Sealift Command first began supporting this mission in the 1960’s and this is the 20th year that DLA Distribution has participated in the Thule resupply.

THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — A lone ring-necked duck floats on open water near Thule Air Base, Greenland, Aug. 15, 2017. Water sources near the base attract many bird species that can cause flight hazards for aircraft. The 21st Space Wing Bird/Wildlife Airstrike Hazard team from Peterson Air Force Base was at the base to determine steps to prevent future bird and wildlife airstrikes.
Encounters From page 1
Haughn mentioned standing water, ponds, roosting areas, food sources and migratory pathways as a few of the items a BASH plan considers. Within the realm of the 21st SW, many of these factors are present at Thule Air Base, Greenland. Haughn and Doug Ekberg, wildlife biologist with the 21st Space Wing safety office and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, visited Thule AB Aug. 10-18, 2017 to determine the steps for successful BASH mitigation. “They have never had (a bird/wildlife airstrike incident),” said Haughn. “But just because they haven’t, doesn’t mean they won’t. They don’t have a problem now, so we are being proactive.” Populations of some birds have increased at Thule AB, making the likelihood of striking an aircraft higher. For example, the Canada Goose population increased in recent years, as have Snow Geese and Glaucous Gull numbers. “That’s why we brought Doug out here,” Haughn said. “We need to see what we might need to do to increase mitigation.” A Canada Goose strike might not happen often, but when they do Air Force Safety Center statistics show they are costly. Between 1995 — 2016, Canada Geese were responsible for $94 million in damage, including injuries. The team must remain cognizant of size and potential for damage of each type of animal, Haughn said. Small birds and even other types of wildlife are hazards when they are around a flight line. Arctic foxes and hares on a runway are recipes for disaster, Ekberg said. Even the local polar bears could lead to a disaster if they get onto the runways. “We are trying to plan for the next five years to make sure adequate BASH mitigation is in place,” said Haughn. “Even though there is a low risk now, it could be a whole lot higher.” “Complacency is where you get into trouble,” added Ekberg. In particular, Ekberg said water is an ongoing issue at Thule AB. Birds make nests in those areas, and frequent them often.
THULE AIR BASE, Greenland — An Acrtic fox pup looks for a handout near the Thule Air Base dining facility Aug. 15, 2017. Wildlife like this fox, as well as the growing bird population around the base present a safety problem for aircraft. The Bird/Wildlife Airstrike Hazard team from the 21st Space Wing, Peterson Air Force Base visited Thule AB to determine hazard mitigation needs.
When they take off to find food or to migrate they are right in the danger zone for a strike. “Pooling water creates great habitat for geese,” said Ekberg. “They are nesting next to these pools and feeding in the surrounding areas.” Traveling from what Ekberg calls “loafing areas” to food sources is one of the most hazardous behaviors birds undertake and it can be different for every species. Some of the typical bird behaviors can make mitigation challenging at any location, not just Thule AB. “Ravens fly from their roost site to a landfill,” he said. “Canada Geese fly from a lake to a golf course. Gulls will fly from a roost to a taxiway or runway to feed on worms that are coming out after a rain shower. Mourning doves fly to sunflower patches to feed. American Kestrels will (hover) for mice.” Natural features around Thule AB contribute to creating conditions not favorable to mitigating aircraft vs. wildlife collisions. Large bodies of water surrounding the area, boulders and even existing signage present unique concerns, Ekberg said. “If a plane tries to avoid an animal and goes even a little bit off the prepared runway it is going to mean damage,” he said. Attempting to keep Thule AB’s perfect record of no bird/ wildlife airstrikes intact, Haughn and Ekberg are taking steps to stay ahead of potential problems. “We are having them take weekly wildlife surveys over the next year to see what kind of trends there are,” said Haughn. A specific BASH protocol is being prepared and will be given to the Thule AB safety officials. They also are working with local authorities to improve mitigation practices, Ekberg said. Some helpful actions are as simple as steepening waterfront banks preventing ducks and geese from nesting, Haughn explained. Other measures, such as using “bird balls” — small balls that cover the water’s surface — to keep geese from landing, or aerial cable grids are being investigated as well. “It comes down to cost benefit risk analysis,” Haughn said. “We are working with vendors to see if these tools are viable.” Whether it is large wildlife like geese, vultures and polar bears, or smaller creatures like foxes and mourning doves, the BASH team from the 21st SW continues to proactively approach preventing catastrophic collisions with aircraft.
