STATE OF THE WING ADDRESS

The 21st Space Wing is strong By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, told a gathering of about 80 community leaders that he is confident about the condition of the wing, during the State of the Wing Address Oct. 4, 2017 at the Club on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. “The state of the wing is strong,” he said. “The reason why this wing is strong is by virtue of the leadership team I have surrounding me… I have an absolutely phenomenal team.” The wing spans 22 separate locations and 13 time zones in 11 different countries. “As you can imagine, that means a lot of late nights and a lot of travel to make sure we are getting out to those places tending to our missions as they stand,” said Moore. Airmen of the 21st SW manage 15 weapons systems of varying ages, sizes and capabilities, requiring a great deal of time and effort to operate, and maintain successfully. “In terms of upgrading the systems we have, in terms of bringing new systems online, we are never bored,” Moore said. The wing executes three primary, diverse mission sets, he explained. The first is missile warning/missile defense; the second is space situational awareness; and the third is space control. Missile warning is the defense of North America against attack. As conditions have changed, allowing different entities the ability to attack America, the role of the wing expanded in the ability to perform missile defense. The mission used to be understanding what’s going on in space, but is undergoing a transformation, Moore said. Viewing space See Strong page 6

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, presents his State of the Wing address Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017 at The Club on Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The Address offered civic leaders a review of his first few months in command of the wing, as well as a look at what to expect in the upcoming year.

Airmen provide exacting space operations By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Thousands upon thousands of debris pieces are traversing Earth’s orbit. Along with the debris are satellites performing a plethora of functions and even manned vehicles like the International Space Station. Space Operators fill the critical role of keeping it all sorted out. Overall, the mission of the 18th Space Control Squadron is to deliver foundational space situational awareness to assure global freedom of action in space. The squadron is a geographically separated unit of, and the newest addition to, the 21st Space Wing. The squadron was activated in the summer of 2016. But what exactly does a Space Operator at 18th SPCS do? The Air Force Specialty Code for the career field may seem broad at first, but it’s made up of several specific roles and airmen performing highly detailed functions. Airmen serve as Orbital Safety Analysts, Orbital Analysts, Space Console Operators and Orbital Safety Technicians, to name a few. The Orbital Analyst plays a serious role in making event data available quickly once an object is in space.

The squadron provides around the clock support to the space surveillance network, maintaining the satellite catalog and managing U.S. Strategic Command’s SSA sharing program to United States, foreign governments, and commercial entities. “We provide an observation and make sure it is tagged for the owner/operators,” said Senior Airman Christian Drouin, 18th SPCS orbital analyst. “It’s really important that orbital analysts are on top of things to show the owner/operators which one is their satellite. In my opinion, the top three things in our job is to make sure (objects) are properly named, we have the right information and that objects are tracked correctly from launch for as long as they are up there.”

The Space Console Operator plays a key role in maintaining the satellite catalog, a record of all man-made objects launched into space, said Senior Airman Matthew Purnell, 18th SPCS space console operator. The number of objects presently in the catalog exceeds 40,000 and includes positional data noting exactly where each object is located and what orbit it’s in. “The main focus for a space console operator at the 18th SPCS is to maintain the integrity of the Satellite Catalog,” he said. “The catalog is not only used by the Department of Defense, but also national and international space agencies, corporations, and educators just to name a few.” Joining with the other roles, orbital safety analysts keep organizations, and nations, aware of positions of objects in Earth’s orbit. John Crowley, 18th SPCS human space flight safety orbital safety analyst, said his job is to make sure the International Space Station and supply ships are protected from more than 22,000 other objects orbiting in the space domain. “The 18th SPCS coordinates with the NASA Trajectory and Perturbation Officers and receive data concerning when they are launching, berthing and/or docking and

October is Air Force Energy Action Month PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The Air Force Energy Flight Plan of January 2017 clearly states our energy management priorities. They are: 1) Improve Resiliency, 2) Optimize Demand, and 3) Assure Supply. This year’s Energy Action Month theme is “Protect the Power,” and is in perfect alignment with Air Force Energy Priority 1 — Improve Resiliency. The 21st Space Wing provides missile warning and space control to unified commanders and combat forces worldwide. Mission partners supported at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and Peterson Air Force Base including North American Aerospace Defense Command, United States Northern Command, United States Strategic Command, Air Force Space Command, and the U.S Army Space and Missile Defense Command.

Mr. Christopher Simpson

21st Space Wing’s Bases and Stations “protect the power” every day, providing our mission partners with the energy they need 24/7/365. We provide Mission Assurance through Energy Assurance. Cheyenne Mountain AFS is a great example of how the Air Force “protects the power.” The underground complex is a hardened, high altitude electromagnetic pulse

protected facility. Under normal conditions, electrical power is provided by Colorado Springs Utilities. In the event of an electric grid disruption, technicians employ sophisticated control systems to sense the disruption, “island” the Mountain’s electric system from the grid, shed non-critical electric loads, transfer critical loads to back-up diesel power, and continue to provide power to mission partners without interruption across the entire spectrum of threats and contingencies. The resilience of Cheyenne Mountain AFS is regularly exercised by simulating grid disruptions, starting the backup generators, and transferring the electrical loads to backup power. The installation continues to be the most reliable, resilient facility/infrastructure grid along the Front Range. Cheyenne Mountain AFS continues to work toward improving and enhancing en-

Action Line

ergy resiliency. Efficiency and conservation measures support resiliency efforts by reducing the overall power requirement. In 2016, Cheyenne Mountain AFS consumed almost 20 percent less electricity than it consumed in 2003, which equates to increasing the capacity of the Mountain’s fuel storage cave by 20 percent. The reduced consumption is the result of continuing efforts to upgrade old tunnel lighting to LEDs, the replacement of old electric motors and pumps with new premium efficiency models, constantly improving HVAC control systems, and mission operators and support personnel considering energy in everything they do. Energy Action Month is a great time to consider the role energy plays in enabling the 21st Space Wing to provide missile warning and space control to unified commanders and combat forces worldwide.

Families become victims By Dave Smith

21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — “Attempting to cause or causing bodily injury to a family or household member or placing a family or household member by threat of force in fear of imminent physical harm.” That’s how domestic abuse is defined according to ChildWelfare.gov. Domestic violence is not limited to a spouse or a partner, its reach goes beyond a single victim. According to the web site, it may also include: Causing or attempting to cause physical or mental harm to a family or household member, placing a family or household member in fear of physical or mental harm causing or attempting to cause a family or household member to engage in involuntary sexual activity by force, threat of force, or duress, engaging in activity toward a family or household member that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested. Shirley Crow, 21st Medical Group, domestic violence victim advocate at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, said these are uncomfortable topics that people often do not want to discuss. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, having grown from a single day’s events into a nationally recognized month-long endeavor to bring the problem into the open. “It’s an issue that keeps growing,” Crow said. “But it is very hidden.” Almost 1,000 victims were served in one day in Colorado during the National Census of Domestic Violence Services Sept. 14, 2016. About 70 percent of the services provided on that single day were for children’s support or advocacy. “Children are greatly impacted when they live in a house with increased levels of violence,” she said. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Children’s Bureau published an article titled “Child Witnesses

Some victims have to beg to get basic needs met, some are stalked and made to account for all the time in a day, people they met or places they went. to Domestic Violence.” In that article it notes that more attention is being paid to children who are not just victims of domestic violence, but who are witnesses. According to the article, research supports the findings that even when children are not the direct target of violence at home, they can be harmed by witnessing it happening. Crow said the impact upon children can manifest itself not just in older children who can recognize what is taking place, but in younger ones as well. Infants, she said, can bear the brunt of both physical and other types of abuse. “It can affect infants in the womb, too, causing them stress,” said Crow. “That includes verbal abuse. It causes the infant to carry anxiety going forward.” Kisa Corcoran, 21st MDG, domestic violence victim advocate, elaborated. “An infant’s body reacts as if it happens to them, as far as changing their nervous system,” Corcoran said. “It slows their development,” said Crow. “They crawl and walk at a later date and regular activity can be delayed.” Physical abuse, like hitting, pushing or pulling hair, is what

gets the most notice, Corcoran said. But there are other types that are commonly having a negative impact on households where there is domestic violence. Non-physical forms of abuse take the shape of threats of harm to the victims or their children, isolation and even injury to a pet. “Physical abuse is what gets people in the most trouble, but verbal and emotional abuse take longer to heal,” she said. “Then there is sexual abuse, which people don’t want to talk about.” Where children are concerned, besides witnessing the abuse, Crow said they can be targeted for emotional abuse. An abusive parent may try to make the victim look like a bad person or parent, for example. “They try to build distrust by making the child lose respect,” Corcoran added. “They try to make them think ‘Mommy doesn’t care for us.’ It’s coercion.” Some victims have to beg to get basic needs met, some are stalked and made to account for all the time in a day, people they met or places they went. Sometimes their phones are tracked or home security systems are used to monitor victims in their homes. “And you see a lot of character assassination,” Crow said. “Especially in the military.” Keeping an eye out for domestic violence is important in getting the proper help to victims, the advocates said. “When someone feels like they are always walking on eggshells it’s a good sign they should look for support and help,” said Corcoran. “People should be able to feel respected and cared for in a positive relationship. They should feel relaxed and confident enough to be themselves.” For more information Crow can be reached at (719) 556-8571 Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence: http:// ccadv.org U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Child Welfare Information Gateway: https://www.childwelfare.gov

Nimble Titan explores cooperative regional missile defense policies and postures By Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Participants from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Ministries of Defense from 23 nations and multinational organizations convened in Anaheim, California, Sept. 11-15, for the Nimble Titan 18 Planning Event, the second event of the Nimble Titan 18 Campaign. Nimble Titan is an unclassified, multinational, missile defense series of experiments sponsored by U.S. Strategic Command and led by the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense. Through Nimble Titan, policy and military experts explore potential policies and operational constructs necessary to enable future cooperative missile defense. The campaign serves as a forum for multinational collaboration to facilitate the exchange of ideas. The objective is, through experimentation, to expand international relationships, enhance regional missile defense, and strengthen deterrence. The Planning Event focused on the pre-conflict processes for cooperative missile defense. Participants developed notional multinational policy guidance to examine regional and cross-regional defense postures to deter simulated adversaries while simultaneously preparing to collectively defend each region. The exploration of

these potential solutions will influence future cooperative missile defense policy development, pre-planned responses and operational concepts. The JFCC IMD director of Plans, Policy, and Allied Integration, Col. Tom Hancock, emphasized the importance of the nations and organizations coming together in cooperation. “More than ever, it will take a combined and joint effort from many nations working together to deter and counter the evolving missile threat.” Col. Roman Krause, commander of the Competence Centre Surface Based Air and Missile Defence (CC SBAMD), a combined German and Netherlands missile defense organization, talked about the need for missile defense and the cooperation of Nimble Titan. “If Nimble Titan had not been invented, the most current developments in missile proliferation would certainly urge us, as NATO members and like-minded nations, to come up with such an outstanding event that allows for exploration of nations’ approaches to commonly tackling the most demanding IAMD challenges,” he said. The solutions developed at the Planning Event shape real-world missile defense policies, programs and capabilities. Planning has already begun for the next Nimble Titan event, which will continue to expand on the accomplishments during this event and previous campaigns.

Cyber inspections coming to Peterson AFB By 21st Communications Squadron

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — From Oct. 16-27 2017, the Defense Information Systems Agency will be conducting a Command Cyber Readiness Inspection on Peterson Air Force Base. CCRIs are cyber inspections designed to examine a network’s current state of cybersecurity. The program assesses an organization’s compliance with Department of Defense directives and security orders, as well as a networks’ physical and traditional security postures along with potential vulnerabilities. The 21st Communications Squadron is taking the lead on cyber preparedness, but all members of the 21st Space Wing and tenant units are critical to a successful inspection.

used to be done with the main objective of updating the (satellite) catalog to provide information about where objects are located in the earth’s orbit. Now the role has taken on a new significance. “We are having to make a big jump intellectually and also from a capability (position),” said Moore. “It is no longer OK just to update a catalog. We now have the obligation to understand what is actually happening and not just report on it.” Space control allows the 21st SW to present national leaders, decision makers and joint warfighters with options

they are receiving vulnerability patches (don’t shut your computer off at the end of the day, simply…restart). • Power up your SIPRNet machines every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. (we strongly encourage you to power up your machines daily so your systems can receive appropriate patches). • Directly connect laptops and/or tablets to the network twice weekly. • Remove your Common Access Card before leaving your workstation and keep it with you at all times; likewise, remove your SIPR token and secure in a locked drawer or General Services Administration Approved container. • Properly mark all communications equipment with classification stickers. • Label disc media with proper classification markings. • Know your unit’s Cyber Security Representative. • Never bring portable or wireless electronic devices within

in order to deal with threats that would compromise joint capabilities in space, said Moore. The wing has an economic impact of $1.27 billion and supports about 41,000 people including personnel, retirees and dependents. “Ultimately the mission of the 21st SW revolves around defending the homeland and about enabling space combat operations,” he said. “And the way that we are going to do that is we’re going to employ and assert space superiority through disciplined, aggressive and creative Airmen.” By being aggressive, Moore said he is not talking about being violent, but rather being Airmen who do not take no for an answer, are tenacious and demonstrate courage. “(Airmen) who get after the hard prob-

These actions directly correlate to the Peterson AFB Cyberspace Readiness Policy dated June 13, 2017. While CCRI’s typically occur every 24 months, our computer networks are under attack 24/7. It is up to each of us to ensure we are doing our part to secure our networks.

lems without being afraid of the solution,” said Moore. “We need more and more of these airmen.” One of the primary focuses for the 21st SW is taking care of Airmen and their families. That care needs to really meet the needs of the Airmen. His team is focused on setting them up for success, providing resources, time and space needed to be the Airmen the nation needs. “We are in a tenuous environment,” he continued. “I have an absolute obligation to make sure my Airmen are ready for whatever comes.” Promoting a culture of dignity and respect is another priority for the wing. Inappropriate behavior has no place and will not be tolerated. “Presenting that kind of environment for our Airmen is what’s going to allow

them to thrive,” Moore said. “We draw a very, very hard line on that. We need America’s best and we need America’s best serving, because that is what’s going to allow us to execute our mission.” Growing Airmen who are spaceminded is important to an Air and Space Force. Moore said attracting and training Airmen who understand space warfighting is critical for a future where space is a battlefield domain. “We are the eyes and the ears that defend the homeland,” said Moore. “Deterrence begins with the ability to see and detect and understand what an adversary might be doing to threaten North America. It is a privilege to be a part of that homeland defense… it is a privilege to be the commander of the 21st SW.”

re-entering,” said Crowley. “We input them into a software system that determines whether or not there will be any conjunctions with the vehicle or the ISS while they are in orbit.” Senior Airman Brittany Cason, 18th SPCS Conjunction Assessment Duty Technician, said people in her position are responsible for delivering vital information to over 700 global satellite operators on a daily basis, helping them avoid collisions with other space objects. This information ensures spaceflight safety and preservation of the space environment. “Our job is to provide advanced analysis and time-critical customer support that resolve high-risk situations and increase the trust that international customers have in the U.S. military,” Cason said. “We also provide launch collision avoidance for customers who provide us their data and screen that against the (satellite) catalogue to ensure their (equipment) has a safe path to space.” Becoming a space operator has become a fulfilling career for the operators in the 18th SPCS. “At first I had no idea what it was or what it was all about,” said Purnell. “But during my time at tech school I gained a better idea. It wasn’t until I got into the

‘chair’ and started getting my hands into the work that I got an understanding of just how important the (work) is.” “When I was initially assigned as a Space Operator I had absolutely no idea what the job entailed,” Cason said. There is still some confusion for people who are not space operators themselves. “Now when I go home, I have others asking me if I actually go to space.” The squadron provides around the clock support to the space surveillance network, maintaining the satellite catalog and managing U.S. Strategic Command’s SSA sharing program to United States, foreign governments, and commercial entities. In addition, it also oversees 18th SPCS Detachment 1, located in Dahlgren, Virginia, which provides a backup operations center for 18th SPCS and the Joint Space Operations Center. About 60 military and 25 civilians are permanently assigned to the squadron. Around 30 military personnel are assigned to the operations flight. The rest of the squadron provides support and advanced functions in support of operations. The career title of space operator might seem ambiguous at first, but the detailed observation, analysis and tracking carried out by squadrons like the 18th SPCS reveal a robust, active and valuable AFSC that is vital to SSA and winning the fight in air, space and cyberspace.

In case of emergency have documents prepared and safe By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Over the past few months a number of disasters, both natural and manmade, brought to mind that the unexpected can come quickly and in many forms. Preparing ahead can make recovery a much smoother process. According to Department of Homeland Security websites like FEMA.gov and Ready.gov, every person and family should have an emergency plan in place well before one is needed. The plan accounts for important considerations like food, medicines, communication, and essential documents. Having documents regarding property, insurance, identification and pet vaccinations in the aftermath of a tragic event can take care of both known and unknown possibilities, said Capt. Kevin Mitchell, 21st Space Wing Office of the Staff Judge Advocate, Legal Assistance chief. “Always be prepared,” he said. “There are some things that are always needed and can be kept in a small fireproof box. It should be one that is portable and that can be grabbed on the go without having to track it down.” Mitchell recommends an updated will, healthcare power of attorney and advanced medical directive (if desired), updated insurance information, medication and allergy lists for all family members, certified copies of birth certificates, and copies of pet vaccinations if applicable. Having documentation regarding pet vaccinations is

According to Department of Homeland Security websites like FEMA.gov and Ready. gov, every person and family should have an emergency plan in place well before one is needed. valuable in case quarantines are imposed, something people do not always think about, he noted. Mitchell also suggested keeping a list of family contact information in the secure container. “Keep contact information for people who are both near and far,” said Mitchell. “You may not be able to get through to people nearby who are in the same situation. You can kind of distance-proof your contact list.” When children are involved, there are certain considerations that should be handled ahead of time as well. “If children will be traveling with another family member, make sure you get a Loco Parentis Power of Attorney,” he said. “In case that person has to make a medical decision for the child, like admit them to the hospital, this allows the holder to act in place of the parent.”

For deployments, there are a few more legal tools to consider in addition to what has already been mentioned. “Make sure your spouse and children have the ability to access the services on base,” said Mitchell. “Members need to ensure their family has access to military-specific resources, so a power of attorney for military personnel, finance and identification card issues is a must. Additionally, a general POA is also advised so the spouse, or holder, can make the day-to-day decisions on a variety of issues that may come up while the member is deployed.” Seasonal concerns also create the need for certain powers of attorney, he explained. For example, tax time always comes in April and a POA can ensure someone can assist in the preparation of your taxes while you are deployed. There are other types of POAs that might be appropriate given the situation. For help determining which documentation might be the most useful, or for assistance deciding what documents should be in place and protected, the 21st Space Wing Legal Office is available to provide some direction. Services such as POAs, legal advice or wills, among others can be provided by 21 SW/JA staff. “Appointments fill up fast,” Mitchell said. “Don’t get caught off-guard. Be sure to mention whether you are deploying when you call. Remember, Airmen deploy, don’t wait until notification to prepare for it.” For questions about any of the documents discussed in this article, please contact the 21st SW Legal Office at 556-4871, or stop by the Legal Office, located in Building 350, Suite 1055.
