Welcome Col. Moore By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Todd Moore assumed command of the 21st Space Wing during a change of command ceremony July 11, 2017, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. Col. Doug Schiess relinquished command after two years as commander. Lt. Gen. David J. Buck, Commander, 14th Air Force (Air Forces Strategic), Air Force Space Command; and Commander, Joint Functional Component Command for Space, U.S. Strategic Command, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, presided over the change of command, receiving the 21st SW guidon from Schiess and passing it to Moore. “Over the last two years, the wing executed 145,000 hours of missile warning, missile defense and space surveillance capabilities at an incredible 99.9 percent operational availability. This resulted in the wing’s recognition as the best space wing in 14th Air Force, the best wing in Air Force Space Command, and the best global operations in United States Strategic Command,” said Buck. “It doesn’t get any better than that.” The 21st SW is the Air Force’s fifth largest geographically separated wing covering the globe with locations in seven countries and 13 time zones, consisting of five groups, wing staff agencies, and 38 units at 21 locations. Along side the wing has 53 mission partners including North American Aerospace Defense Command, U.S. Northern Command, Air Force Space Command, and the 302nd Airlift Wing. See Welcome page 10

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Tired of working out in the gym when the weather is so nice? The Half Mile Loop Trail that winds around Capt. David Lyon Memorial Park might be the answer for you. This trail offers not only a nice route through some of the trees around Lyons Park but some stops to get basic exercises in, too. Each stop has a different piece of equipment that’s designed to work a different part of the body, whether it’s shoulders and arms, core or legs. There’s plenty there to get a full work out in while you get to enjoy the nice summer weather.

Good wingmen make a difference
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — I cracked a couple of puns with a masked man I assumed to be a doctor. He said he was sorry, but I knew it wasn’t about the puns. He showed genuine regret. About seven hours later I woke up disoriented, in a room full of people I couldn’t really see. Loud beeps seemed to come from everywhere, each signifying various degrees of urgency. The first clue I remained amongst the living was gagging on what felt like a large piece of drain pipe stuck down my throat. I heard my wife’s voice, sweet, comforting and… worried. Right about that time pain began approaching from the fringes of my upper body, like a big blanket of searing, sharp hurt engulfing my torso. Memory rushed in along with the pain and I recalled now: I just received double bypass heart surgery and a valve replacement. They called it cabbage (Cardiac Atrial Bypass Graft — CABG) and because of the reference I will never look at cole slaw the same way again. My sternum was cracked open, they said it was surgically cut, but I knew better. My heart was lifted, scraped and had two
Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer arteries replaced using the radial artery from my left arm. A replacement atrial valve was put into my heart — yes, inside of my heart — and the mitral valve was repaired. “Repaired” is a highly technological cardiology term, probably Latin, meaning “scraped clean.” Maybe even wire brushed. They reconnected my sternum with something like baling wire, stitched my chest and left a nine-inch zipper-looking wound behind. Add that to the 10-inch scar on my forearm and I was set to terrorize small children and the squeamish. After a night of excruciating pain in the intensive care unit I went to the room that would be my home for the next eight days.
Nights stretched on, pain visited regularly and I admit there were powerful waves of hopelessness washing over me. I wondered if I would die soon. I wondered if I would ever again do things I loved doing. Simple thoughts like, could I ever drink my beloved coffee, or eat my favorite things haunted me. Would I walk more than 10 feet without rest? It was really pathetic at times, but none the less, between pain medicine and long, dark nights alone with the beeps and the glow of the vital signs monitors, I was not in a great state of mind. It felt like I would be there the rest of my life. My wife spent time with me and that was always wonderful but, due to life continuing outside of my misery, couldn’t be there around the clock. Things turned positive on Friday, May 12. It was Wingman Day and I was about to experience the benefits of this process first hand. A knock at my door started it all. The familiar faces of my 21st Space Wing Public Affairs team mates filled the door frame and many of my coworkers filed in to the room. My heart swelled at the show of care and camaraderie, a risky thing in my posi-

tion if you recall. But none the less, there they were. We talked a little and goofed off a little. It was not a long visit, but the impact was amazing. At the risk of sounding very cheesy, I say that show of solidarity, friendship and yes, wingmanship had a profound impact on my frame of mind and resiliency to push through pain and things out of my control. They may not know how much it meant; they will after reading this. The message I want to convey is simple, yet within the power and ability of anyone reading these words. It is just this: the support you give to your wingman in a time of need — be it a visit, a text message, or note — is powerful stuff. It is the stuff that bolsters resiliency and the stuff that lifts a person to press forward and not give up. To my public affairs family, I and my family thank you deeply. To the rest of the 21st Space Wing Knights, the Airmen, civilians and contractors making up Team Pete, the few moments you give to support your wingman is going to make a difference. No, it will make the difference.

Acquisition as wargame By Benjamin Newell 66th Air Base Group Public Affairs
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. — The Pentagon’s Air Force acquisition office challenged teams to protect nearly one million users from dangerous malware during a pilot wargame held June 26-30 at the Hanscom Conference Center here. The wargame scenario was ripped from the headlines and one of the three participating teams were required to abide by the strictest interpretations of Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR. “I think we all said ‘Oh, no!’ when we found out we couldn’t use newer techniques,” said Capt. Evangeline Fleischaker, Pacific Command Strategic Early Warning System theatre program lead assigned to Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, a member of a the team tasked to use the most traditional acquisition approach. “But then we realized, when we started looking at the FAR, that there’s actually a lot of room to cut time, save money and get a better product. You just have to step back and look at it piece by piece.” Fleischaker’s team consisted of lawyers, engineers and program managers with decades of experience. Within three days, they created an acquisition strategy that would induce small businesses to team up and compete with larger contractors to create a software patch to be installed on more than 950,000 desktop, laptop and mobile devices. Each of the three participating teams were assigned a particular approach to the problem: a more traditional acquisition based on the FAR; an approach to obtain solutions from non-traditional defense companies utilizing Other Transactional Authorities; and an approach to exploit flexibilities inherent in the FAR. During the weeklong exercise, the teams sought new approaches to real-world challenges, like those posed by evolving computer viruses, malware threats and zero-day software security breaches. OTAs target small businesses which have done little, or no work, for the Department of Defense in the past. ‘Innovative’

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. — Capt. Evangeline Fleischaker, Early Warning System program lead from Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., briefs a traditional acquisition approach during the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Transformational Innovation’s pilot acquisition wargame June 30, 2017, at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass. Fleischaker’s team was challenged to find a solution for a malware vulnerability that could, in the premise of the wargame, disable nearly a million desktop, laptop and mobile devices during a wargame held June 26-30. acquisition methods include exotic contracting vehicles that can limit competition in favor of speed. Fleischaker’s ‘traditional’ acquisition methods are proven acquisition strategies that can be time-consuming and are subject to protest. “I think the traditional team was certainly challenged by their requirement to abide by traditional acquisition methods, but they would have succeeded, because they took a more risky approach,” said David Temple, program management
organizational staff functional with the Battle Management Directorate at Hanscom. “It’s very difficult to be the first team to take risk, because those teams sometimes fail, but we hope that games like this will get our teams, and their managers, more in the mindset of identifying risk early and challenging the system as much as possible.” See Acquisition page 7

Squadron Officer School expands to better align with CSAF focus areas By Mr. Ethan Stoker Maxwell AFB Public Affairs
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. — Air University’s Squadron Officer School has redesigned its program to better align with the needs of the Air Force. The new course has increased from five to six-and-a-half weeks, commencing with Class 18A which starts July 31, 2017. The redesign effort was necessary in order for SOS’s parent organization, Squadron Officer College, to meet Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein’s direction to produce a better-equipped force as characterized in his three focus areas: revitalizing squadrons — the heartbeat of the Air Force; strengthening joint leaders and teams; and enhancing multi-domain command and control. The result is a curriculum that favorably impacts squadrons by educating captains on becoming “bold and courageous” leaders ready to overcome today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. In order to accomplish this task, the course was designed around four primary areas: leadership, building highly effective teams, logical and ethical reasoning in decision making, and multi-domain joint warfare as Airmen. The changes being made to the resident course solidify a
foundation of education in all of the focus areas. However, the focus areas of revitalizing the squadron and building joint leaders are heavily emphasized in this course, said Col. Wayne Straw, the SOS commandant. “At its core, SOS is a leadership school whose foundation is built upon joint warfare,” said Straw. “As a leadership school, we help develop the effective behaviors necessary for Air Force captains. SOS’s role in developing joint Airmen is to ensure all Airmen, regardless of Air Force specialty or function, can articulate how they integrate into the larger Air Force’s mission throughout the range of military operations and the spectrum of joint warfare.” Within the four areas of the course, students will engage in classroom and hands-on application events that will challenge their individual leadership awareness and thinking, provide effective methods for conflict resolution, learn how to solve problems and innovate collaboratively. “SOS is primary developmental education for our captains, and we felt it was crucial to invest the time required to develop the competencies our students need for the operational Air Force,” said Maj. Dwayne Clark, the SOC dean of academic affairs. “At this point in their careers, our students are tactical experts and understand what they do day-to-day. This in-residence program is an opportunity to
ensure captains think deeply and critically about why they do it. As such, we will engage them in divergent, convergent and reflective thinking habits, which are cornerstones for leadership growth.” To implement such a substantive revision, SOC faculty and staff cancelled Class 17G (June 5 — July 7) to finalize curriculum and prepare staff for executing the new syllabus. The expanded course is set to resume July 31 with Class 18A. Airmen scheduled for the cancelled 17G class will have an opportunity to attend the enhanced in-residence program in future classes. SOC has requested that Air Force Personnel Center and training managers ensure all individuals meeting upcoming promotion boards have priority placement for classes 18A and 18B. In addition, HAF/A1D provided a blanket waiver for any captain enrolled in class 17G that required a Total Active Federal Commissioned Service waiver (for active-duty officers) or a Total Years Commissioned Service waiver (for Air Reserve component officers), or an approved exception to policy waiver (e.g., physical fitness, medical profile, etc.) from SOC. This change decreases the total number of annual classes from seven to six; however, SOC plans to increase the size of each class from 600 to 700 students to maintain the same annual production requirements set by the Air Force.
Air Force releases first-term Airman retraining quotas for FY18 By Kat Bailey Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIORANDOLPH — Eligible active-duty firstterm Airmen may choose from more than 1,400 approved retraining quotas in over 20 career fields for fiscal year 2018. Retraining allows enlisted Airmen, to include staff and technical sergeants on their first enlistment, to retrain into skills where a shortage exists, in conjunction with a reenlistment. “A first-term Airman can apply to retrain into one of the open quotas found in the FTA column of the retraining advisory on myPers, provided they meet the eligibility
requirements,” said Master Sgt. Kris Reece, the Air Force Personnel Center enlisted retraining superintendent. AFPC updates the enlisted retraining advisory on myPers in real time, Reece said, which helps Airmen identify the career fields with retraining-in quotas available in their grade, or projected grade if already selected for promotion. Retraining opportunities are available in a variety of career fields, including cyber, safety, flight engineer, command and control operations, and more. Most are open to all eligible Airmen, but some, such as the cyber warfare operations AFSC, require prior qualification. “We advise potential applicants to check

the retraining advisory and notes closely to avoid delays in the application process, particularly regarding eligibility,” Reece said. “Retraining is a great opportunity for Airmen to pursue a different career field while enabling the Air Force to maintain a healthy balance in all enlisted career fields.” The Air Force Work Interest Navigator, available on the retraining page on myPers, is another tool Airmen may use to identify potential career fields of interest by answering a series of questions about functional communities, job context and work activities. “The AF-WIN tool creates a customized job-interest report from your responses and compares your interests to all entry-level AFSCs,” Reece said. “You’ll still want to
visit the enlisted retraining advisory because AF-WIN doesn’t tell you if a career field is available or if you meet the eligibility qualifications.” Retraining information is available and continuously updated on myPers. Click “Retraining” from the active-duty enlisted landing page. The online training advisory is listed under the “Tools” section. In addition, a live chat feature is available for Airmen on the “First Term Airmen Retraining” page. To chat live with a Total Force Service Center representative, go to the page and allow about 30 to 60 seconds for a representative to come online. For more information about Air Force personnel programs, go to myPers.

Acquisition From page 3 Secretary of the Air Force’s Office of Transformational Innovation chose Hanscom as the location to pilot the first in a series of three wargames, which will be held at other acquisition centers throughout the Air Force, in a bid to create new approaches and expose more personnel to innovative acquisition methods. The traditional team was comprised of members of the Battle Management Directorate; the OTA team from Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence and Networks Directorate; and the third team’s members hailed from AFLCMCHanscom’s functional staff, the General Services Administration, and the Boston office of the Defense Contract Management Agency. Each team came in under time, but Fleischaker’s team had the smallest margin for error. The goal of the wargame is capturing innovative techniques, so no ‘winner’ was declared. “A lot of younger officers and civilians are coming in and saying ‘Hey, wait a minute, why can’t I get a waiver for this, or why can’t I use this other method?’” said Temple. “We want them to route those newer, more rapid and creative solutions up the chain. It’s then on the mid-level management to be more accepting and expand the way they think about these opportunities. We’re putting the responsibility on their shoulders to bring more innovative approaches to senior leadership.”

The Air Force Medical Service is launching a mobile app that will let users access the news and information available on the AFMS website right from their smartphones. By Peter Holstein Air Force Surgeon General Office of Public Affairs
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — The Air Force Medical Service has launched a new mobile app to connect Airmen and patients to news and information about the AFMS. The new app is a mobile version of the AFMS website, and lets users customize their experience based on the Air Force military treatment facility (MTF) they use. This way, patients can get information about clinic hours, find phone numbers and get other valuable information about
the MTF where they work or get care.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Eric Dorminey, 21st Space Wing vice commander, leads the base formation during the 21st SW change of command ceremony in hangar 140, Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., July 11, 2017. The base formation consisted of Airmen and group commanders from 21st Medical Group, 21st Operations Group, 21st Mission Support Group, 21st Wing Staff Agency and 721st Mission Support Group.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Doug Schiess, 21st Space Wing commander, speaks to Airmen at the 21st SW change of command ceremony in hangar 140, July 11, 2017, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. Schiess relinquished command to Col. Todd Moore, former Air Force Element commander at Royal Air Force Menwith Hill.
“To the men and women of the 21st Space Wing I need to communicate to you how proud I am,” said Schiess. Knights of the 21st SW you have done your mission and done it with excellence. “Knights, thank you for the best two years of my Air Force career,” Schiess said. “As Deb and I have said throughout this whole 25th anniversary year “once a Knight, always a Knight, and I always will be a Knight for the rest of my Air Force career.” Moore takes command of the wing and its more than 4,300 persons providing missile warning, missile defense, space situational awareness and space control operations to secure space for our nation and allies. Moore also assumes the role of base commander for Peterson AFB with its $1.27 billion annual economic impact. “I think Col. Schiess has done a phenomenal job here and it’s a privilege to follow him,” said Moore.
“The opportunity to execute our missile warning and space surveillance missions, and to support NORADNORTHCOM and Air Force Space Command on Peterson AFB is extraordinary given the ever increasing reliance on space capabilities and the development of advanced weapons by potential adversaries,” Moore said. “I’m excited to be returning to the front range of Colorado and I’m honored to be given the opportunity to lead this very talented wing.” “Having led at a geographically separated unit in the past, I have some personal perspective on the challenges and opportunities that all of our sites have. I hope to leverage this experience to help the leadership there take care of our airmen and do great things with the mission,” said Moore. Before taking command of the wing, Moore was the commander of Air Force Element at RAF Menwith Hill. He has previously served in Colorado at the 4th Space Operations Squadron, Schriever AFB, Colorado, from 1997-1999, 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron, Schriever AFB from 2008-2010, and at Aerospace Data Facility, Buckley AFB, Colorado, from 2010-2012.

Doug Schiess, 21st SW outgoing commander, during the 21st SW change of command ceremony in hangar 140, Peters 2017. The change command ceremony has its roots in U.S. military traditions dating back to the early 1800s.

One team one fight, a time to recognize all By Airman 1st Class Naoshi Pfeffer 561st Network Operations Squadron
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month is held to recognize the impact lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals have had in history. It is also a time to identify and reflect upon the progress that we as a nation have accomplished in our pursuit for civil equality. Recorded in Gen. George Washington’s ‘General Orders, March 14, 1778, Lieutenant Gotthold Frederick Enslin had been General Court Martialed and dismissed of service for “attempting to commit sodomy. . . Abhorrence & Detestation of such Infamous Crimes.” Lieutenant Enslin was “to be drummed out of Camp tomorrow morning by all the Drummers and Fifers in the Army never to return.” This writing depicts an enthusiastic display of reprimand which demonstrates the attitude of the time regarding perceptions of those regarded as associated to LGBT. With America modernizing and establishing its identity, the LGBT community began developing its voice. Known as the Stonewall riots, June 28, 1969, a police raid in
the Stonewall Inn on Manhattan, New York City, served as a catalyst for the flashpoint event that inspired the LGBT community to galvanize against the pressures of 1960’s conservative America. The Stonewall riots became a symbol of resistance and solidarity for the LGBT community, giving strength to those individuals willing to openly confront the social and political discriminations experienced of their time. In the case of Matlovich v. Secretary of the Air Force, July 16, 1976, Tech. Sgt. Leonard Matlovich who openly admitted his sexual identity was discharged from the U.S. Air Force due to anti-gay policy enforced at the time. His appeal to the court challenged the decision on constitutional grounds granting some victory by allowing for an honorable discharge. Progress for the LGBT community has been slow, and similarly with the U.S. military. A compromise with the changing attitudes of the times with the establishment of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT), Nov. 30, 1993, attempted to alleviate the pressures of contention regarding matters of sexual identity. Counter to the intent of the Stonewall riots, to allow for open confrontation of social and political

discriminations DADT was found unconstitutional, Sept. 10, 2010, and in violation of the First and Fifth Amendment rights of homosexuals. Shortly following, DADT was repealed, Dec. 22, 2010, allowing for the free individual expression of LGBT within U.S. military. Even today the LGBT community continues to press on toward equality. Under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Department of Defense Instruction 1300.28 InService Transition for Transgender Service Member, was published and effective starting Oct. 1, 2016. This document, “establishes a construct by which transgender Service members may transition gender while serving” and clarifies the DoD’s stance on responsibilities expected by military departments stated therein. The official issue of DoD Instruction 1300.28 represents an explicit acknowledgment of changing attitudes towards the LGBT community. In observance of this month, we as a military community are offered the opportunity to recognize the impact our LGBT members have brought to our great nation, to give thanks and understand the continual struggle towards civil equality in both military and civilian life.

Mentoring is for the total force WASHINGTON — Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright was a selfproclaimed undisciplined Airman during his first enlistment in the early 1990s…that is, until his mentor stepped in and provided the leadership he needed to set him on the right path. Though that intervention was more than two decades ago, the importance of mentors has not changed across the Air Force — the service is still dedicated to developing the total force into well-rounded, missionfocused leaders. “Leveraging the wisdom and experience of others enabled me to grow and achieve my goals faster,” said Chief Master Sgt. John Bentivegna, the Air Force Enlisted Force Development chief. “To this very day I have mentors who are both senior to me and who are peers, officers, civilians and enlisted.” “Mentoring is about helping you grow as a person and as a professional in the direction you want to go,” said Nancy Dolan, the Headquarters Air Force Staff Strategy concepts deputy director.
“
Whether it be an enlisted, officer or civilian member a mentor can help them reach their goals. Air Force mentors and mentees can connect on MyVector, a system on the Air Force Portal. “MyVector allows you to connect with a mentor if you have someone in mind,” said Dr. Patricia McGill, the Competencies, Doctrine and Mentoring Branch Force Development Integration Division chief. “Or if you just don’t know how to get a mentor, you can use the matching capability.” Mentors can have four different roles: counselor, advocate, facilitator and coach, according to McGill. “If you want the mission to be successful, you have to cultivate your people,” McGill said. The Air Force’s mentor program focuses on the mentee, and pairs them with the best mentor match. The introduction of Air Force Manual 362643, Air Force Mentoring Program, only helps further through its comprehensive information, guidelines and expectations both personal and professional development. For more information about the mentor process visit https://afvec.langley.af.mil/ myvector

MyVector is an enterprise solution supporting force development and mentoring across the Air Force. It supports individual Airmen, career field managers and development teams. More than 120,000 Airmen have registered in MyVector and more than 15,000 Airmen have created a mentor profile.
