Chief’s Corner: CMSgt Kevin Lambert

By Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Lambert Space Base Delta 1

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — I grew up in a small town in Gallup, New Mexico, as the youngest of seven children. After graduating high school, I moved to Maryland to start college and work a couple different jobs until I decided to join the U.S. Air Force in 1998.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, at my fi rst assignment, I sat in the Schriever Air Force Base dining facility when the tragic events unfolded. Everyone was left in a state of devastation, but also with a renewed drive to Twentyserve.years had passed, and I found myself back in that very same dining facility on the 20th anniversary of 9/11; this time, as a chief master sergeant. I was thankful for the opportunity to serve in the same squadron that I had as an Airman

Basic.Although many of us join the military for a variety of reasons, we all should take the time to think about what it means to serve in the military. As I sat eating breakfast that morning, after 20 years of service, I reflected on why I chose to serve and how I’ve grown as an Airman.

My fi rst piece of advice would be to always have a leadership philosophy regardless of your rank or position. We are all leaders in our own right – having a leadership phi-

losophy not only gives us something to work toward, but it also holds us accountable to what we aspire to be. I created my leadership philosophy based off another chief’s advice a long time ago. He told me to give before you take. Th is philosophy not only builds trust between the people, but it also helps leaders to be servant from the beginning of anyWe,relationship.asservant leaders, should focus on developing our force by looking for learning opportunities and encouraging others to become better versions of themselves, every day. We should also make it a priority to look for opportunities to highlight people’s efforts. When people go the extra mile to get the job done, recognizing their efforts reinforces their good work ethic.

The second piece of leadership advice I would give is to be your own person. Th is creates the diversity we need to see things from a different perspective. The military lifestyle is very fast paced and sometimes pushes us out of the present. Sometimes the present is the best place to be, and we miss out on it because we are rushing to the next best thing.

A couple years back, a technical sergeant read a poem at his going-away, and it really put things into perspective for me.

I hope you find this poem as valuable as I do:

New York is three hours ahead of California, but that does not make California slow.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited ve years before securing a good job.

Someone became a CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became CEO at 50 and lived to 90 Someoneyears.

is single while someone else got Someonemarried.retired at 55 while someone else started their career at Everyone70.

in this world works based on their time zone.

People around you might seem to be ahead of you, and some might seem to be behind you, but everyone is running their own race; in their own time.

Do not envy them and do not mock them. ey are in their own time zone, and you are in yours.

Life is about waiting for the right time to act so relax, you’re not late and you’re not early. You are very much on time.

- eMindsJournal

I now take the time to enjoy the moment while preparing for the future. As a chief, a father and husband. My fi nal advice to you is run your own race.

4th SOPS engages in joint airlift exercise

By Airman 1st Class Ryan Prince Space Base Delta 1 Public Affairs

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 4th Space Operations Squadron from U.S. Space Force Space Delta 8 – Satellite Communications and Navigational Warfare, conducted a contingency airlift exercise for the Mobile Constellation Control Stations system Sept. 14-15, 2022, on Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado.

4th SOPS owns and operates three MCCS systems which assure survivable and endurable communications for the president, secretary of defense and strategic users throughout the spectrum of nuclear confl ict.

Th is exercise was able to demonstrate how 4th SOPS remains ready and able to support national leadership through all levels of confl ict, from anywhere in the world, in any threat environment, and at a moment’s notice.

During the exercise, a team of 12 Guardians and Airmen loaded the MCCS onto a C-17 Globemaster III. The MCCS

was later airlifted to a stateside location where they conducted several days of proof-of-concept operations and exercise responses to on-orbit and ground-based threats before returning to home station.

The joint effort required coordination with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Transportation Command and U.S. Space Command with visibility from Space Systems Command and Space Operations Command to ensure success.

As space becomes increasingly contested and degraded, the National Military Command System requires assured access to space and satellite communications. Two of 4th SOPS constellations of satellites provide this instrumental service and are controlled from two state-side fi xed ground stations -- 4th SOPS at Schriever SFB, Colorado, and 148th SOPS at Vandenberg SFB, California.

“Exercises like this are important because it is a full demonstration of our ability to receive orders, deploy, and configure our system for operations,” said USSF Maj. Erica Worthy, 4th SOPS director of operations. “Being able to

‘practice like we would play’ will help us identify required areas of improvement in our processes.”

The last time 4th SOPS exercised the contingency airlift mission was in 2018, when a MCCS was airlifted to Guam and performed an extensive operational demonstration. Since then, they have facilitated system upgrades worth $5 million, and brought on an entirely new antenna system. Th is airlift represents the fi rst time they have airlifted this new configuration and paves the way for a planned airlift outside the contiguous United States.

According to 1st Lt. Adam Morgan, 4th SOPS, mobile maintenance officer in charge, the MCCS compacts the mission conducted at the fi xed ground stations and consolidates command and control and user management functions into a single ground and air transportable platform. If there were anything to go wrong with the fi xed ground stations or if the satellites were to be isolated from them, the MCCS would be available to take control of their assets anywhere, anytime.

Space Force reveals official song: ‘Semper Supra’

By Staff Writer Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) — Every branch of the armed forces has an official song, from “The Army Goes Rolling Along” to “The Marines’ Hymn.” Each song is part of the services’ foundation and represents its values, traditions and culture.

The U.S. Space Force, the newest military branch established in 2019, has officially adopted its own song titled, “Semper Supra” that was unveiled during the 2022 Air Force Association Air, Space and Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, Sept. 20.

“Semper Supra” was named after the USSF motto, which is Latin for, “Always Above.” It was created to capture the esprit de corps of both current and future Guardians and intends to bring together service members by giving them a sense of pride.

Two former service members collaborated to create the song, a process that took years of research and revisions to make sure the song was ready for release.

“The song was a long work in progress because I wanted it to encompass all the capabilities that the Space Force offers and its vision,” said James Teachenor, a singer/songwriter who created the lyrics and melody, was the visionary composer and driving force of the song’sTeachenor,creation.aprior member of the U.S. Air Force Band at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, worked with Chief of Space Operations Gen. John “Jay” Raymond to begin the songwriting process when the Space Force was formed in 2019.

“Th is is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish

a Space Force song that will be part of our culture and heritage for years to come,” Raymond said. “Our traditions are part of the fabric that weave us all together as we execute our missions side-by-side; I will be proud to sing ‘Semper Supra’ alongside my fellow Guardians.”

After creating a foundation for the song, Teachenor’s project was sent to various military bands that could create a musical arrangement to give fi nishing touches and complete the song’s sound; 12 musical submissions of the song were under review. Teachenor then collaborated with chief musician Sean Nelson, U.S. Coast Guard Band trombonist and staff arranger.

“I received the melody and words from James, and he wanted me to help add the harmony and to orchestrate it,” Nelson said. “At fi rst, it started with singing and the piano. I became familiar with the other branches’ songs, but I wanted this one to have its own modern spin to reflect what the Space Force is - modern, new and veryOnceadvanced.”Nelsonadded more than 30 instrument parts, the song’s arrangement was played and recorded by the USCG band, then

submitted to the Space Force for review. After many months of development, revisions and variations in coordination with the USCG band, the Space Force picked the fi nal version of “Semper Supra,” to capture what it means to be a Guardian.

Semper Supra

The official U.S. Space Force song

We’re the mighty watchful eye, Guardians beyond the blue,

The invisible front line, War ghters brave and true.

Boldly reaching into space,

There’s no limit to our sky.

Standing guard both night and day,

We’re the Space Force from on high.

Brown cites Air Force history as fuel for accelerating change, meeting today’s complex security challenges

By Charles Pope Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. (AFNS) — Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. urged the Total Force Sept. 19 to focus intently, to move fast and “accelerate change” in reshaping the service to meet modern-day threats that are fundamentally different – and more complex – than those of the previous 30 years.

And while the emerging security threats, particularly those posed by our “pacing, acute, and unforeseen challenges,” Brown told Airmen during his keynote address at the Air Force Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference he is confident the moment will be met.

“We have done this before, and we can do it again,”

Brown told an audience of more than 2,500 Airmen, government and industry officials and assorted airpower advocates, using specific moments from the service’s 75-year history to validate his confidence.

“We now fi nd ourselves in a pivotal period, one that is fundamentally reshaping the international security landscape,” Brown said. “And while our nation was focused on countering violent extremists for two decades, our competitors focused on matching our way of war.

“Our tactical skills are sharp, but we need to reframe our thinking to meet the challenges we will face in the future. In many ways, today’s security environment parallels our past,” he said.

Brown told Airmen that the service’s culture must adapt along with policies, practice and tactics. In that

· Mission Command;

· Force Generation;

· Agile Combat Employment;

· Multi-Capable Airmen, and;

· e Wing A-Sta construct.

“We must do it now,” Brown said, referring to the five areas, “because our adversaries will not wait for us to perfect these concepts.”

Brown reinforced the premise by taking the audience along for a ride through history.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. delivers a keynote address on the state of the Air Force during the 2022 Air and Space Forces Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, Sept. 19, 2022.

West Berlin by blockading land routes into the city of two million, the Air Force commenced a massive airlift to sustain the city and prove a critical geopolitical point, that U.S. airpower could be deliv ered anywhere at any time.

“Without firing a shot, we embarked on the largest aerial resupply mission in his tory during Operation Vittles, landing at Tempelhof Airport every 45 seconds and delivering more than 13 thousand tons of cargo in one single day,” Brown said.

In the 1950s, when fears of the Soviet Union’s nuclear capability rose, the Air Force locked arms with industry and ac ademia to design, test, build and launch an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile in just two years.

The trend continued in the 1970s and 1980s, Brown said, when the Air Force again played a major role in developing stealth technology.

The tangible – if not always visible –result of that effort, Brown said, was “a brand new and revolutionary capability, the F-117 Nighthawk, in record time (and) paving the way for the stealth technology we see today.”

The record is uninterrupted decade by decade. In the 1990s during the 78-day air campaign waged to end Yugoslavia’s ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians saw “multiple firsts for our Air Force,” Brown said. Among the most prominent was the fielding of the first MQ-1 Predator, the first operational use of the B-2 bomb er, and the first time the Combined Air Operations Center was employed as a weapon system.

And in 2001, of course, after the attacks on U.S. soil, the Air Force, along with the United States “we rose as Americans and saw the strength of our nation when challenged.”“Ateverystage, with every new trial, no matter how uncomfortable it felt we proved that we could rise above any chal lenge. We proved that we were willing to take the risks. And we proved that we could solve any problem by collaborat ing across our Air Force and within (the

Department of Defense), with allies and partners, industry, academia,” he said.

In those examples and more, the Air Force distinguished itself and protected the nation by “driving outcomes; chal lenging the status quo and not waiting for the perfect conditions to act,” he said.

It was fueled “through experimentation, rapid prototyping, adapting new ideas, and having a bias for action, risk-taking, and creative disruption across all levels of Airmen,” he said.

In order to succeed this time, Brown said the Air Force must harness those same qualities and culture but refine it for modern challenges. Foremost, he said, is the need to maximize collaboration.

Brown has dubbed this approach “inte grated by design,” as it relates to working closely with allies and partners at the be ginning “with the end in mind.”

Brown also emphasized a point he has made before – that success is driven by creative and determined Airmen who are the power behind the changes the Air Force needs to succeed.

“We must harness any innovation that can put meaningful capability in the hands of warfighters. We can’t let ‘perfect’ to be the enemy of ‘good enough.’”

Turning to the audience, Brown put the onus directly on them. “You are the heart of our innovation, and I am constantly re minded that each of you drive the potential of our technology and the potential of our ideas; both are limitless.

“Our Airmen, the ones sitting here in this room, the ones getting the J-O-B done every day on our bases all around the globe – active, Guard, Reserve, and civilian – and our vast and incredible partners in industry and academia,” Brown said.

“These are not new challenges,” Brown said. “But the complexity and combina tion are more than ever before … We know strategic competition, and we know what it means to accelerate change.”

Brown closed with a note of optimism.

“Last year I told you that I don’t believe in impossible,” Brown said. “We have done this before, and we will do it again.”

In 1944, During the Battle of the Bulge, Beck was a Browning automatic rifle gunner in the 106th Infantry Division, 422nd Regiment. One night, Beck’s group found themselves surrounded by German soldiers near the city of Prum, Germany. After a short, small-arms battle, the division was forced to surrender and were taken as prisoners. Beck and 19 other Americans were sent to a prison camp near Oschatz, Germany, a trip that took nearly fi ve days both on foot and by train to reach. After spending nearly six months as a Prisoner of War, Beck eventually escaped the camp and found his way back to U.S. control. He then made his way home and served in the Korean War several years later.

Defense Department assists in Puerto Rico hurricane aftermath

By David Vergun Department of Defense News

WASHINGTON — Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Puerto Rico Sept. 18, knocking out power to the island and causing widespread devastation.

Southern and eastern Puerto Rico may experience catastrophic and life-threatening major river flooding, as well as mudslides, due to the heavy rainfall from Hurricane Fiona, according to a National Weather Service report today.President Joe Biden directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate all disaster relief efforts, according to a White House statement Sept. 18.

The governor of Puerto Rico has activated more than 450 members of the Puerto Rico National Guard to assist, according to Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, who held a press conference today.

Also, the Virgin Islands National Guard has activated personnel to monitor the situation as part of their joint operations center team, Ryder said.

Before the storm hit the Puerto Rico National Guard prepositioned soldiers and heavy equipment, including vehicles with high ground clearance, at 10 strategic points around the island to allow it to quickly respond to emergencies such as rescuing stranded or trapped people and clearing roads, he said.

Yesterday, Puerto Rico National Guard’s 65th Infantry Regiment rescued 21 elderly and bedridden people from their care facility, as landslides threaten the home’s structure and residents’ safety, he said.

Also yesterday, Puerto Rico National Guard’s 296

Infantry Regiment in Mayaguez rescued 59 people and 13 pets from a flooded community, while Guard members with the 125th Military Police Battalion rescued a man in Ponce who got caught in a flash flood, he said.

Guard personnel also rescued a number of people in other municipalities, he said.

Currently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is preparing generators for emergency power and the Civil Air

Patrol has been providing post-hurricane landfall imagery support and small unmanned aerial system support to FEMA’s urban search and rescue teams, he said.

The Defense Department continues to stay in close contact with FEMA, the National Guard Bureau and U.S. Northern Command as response and recovery efforts unfold, Ryder said.
