MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD
Big thumbs up from Papi By Staff Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
I feel it’s safe to say, in general, most men look up to their dads to some degree. Sure, there are some bad apples here and there but it’s fairly common to esteem one’s father and feel a desire to impress him. For me, that has always been the case. Dad’s validation means a lot. If you’re familiar with Disney’s “Kronk’s New Groove,” you know Kronk (a big, dumb, but well intentioned and loyal guy), spends the whole movie trying to get a “big thumbs up from Papi.” Now that I think about it, I’ve got more in common with Kronk than I care to admit. My dad enlisted in the Air Force in 1979, serving the majority of his career as an F-15 crew chief, retiring in 2001. I’ve always been thankful for the sacrifices he made for his family, but as I start to hit certain waypoints in my own career, I’ve gained so much more appreciation for who he is and what he did. I enlisted in the Air Force in 2006. Immediately, I set the bar high for myself. I told myself, “If I don’t get honor graduate in basic training, I’ve failed dad.” I mean, heck, one of the F-15s my dad crewed is a static display on the parade grounds at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. Nothing like performing an “eyes right” at graduation and seeing your commander, dad and dad’s jet looking back at you. Obviously, dad would have been proud either way, but knowing excelling would make him prouder, drove me. I got honor graduate and followed that up with distinguished honor graduate in tech school. I can still remember standing at a pay phone (I know, I barely remember what those are too) with the biggest smile on my face, holding my diploma and calling my dad to give him the news. Witnesses insist I was crying. Psssh, nu-uh! The same thing happened when I snagged some hardware in Airman Leadership School and when I made staff sergeant. My wife likes to say I’m like a cat. I act like I don’t need anyone’s validation or approval, but at the same time I’ll See Military Child page 6

50th Space Wing Priority #2 Advance professionalism and infrastructure to enable mission performance
Schriever families celebrate spring By Tech Sgt. Sara Bishop 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
The 50th Force Support Squadron hosted the 16th annual Spring Fling celebration Saturday. “(It’s a) celebration for the spring season, but ultimately to thank our service members and all those who serve and work here at Schriever. (It allows) time to celebrate all their hard work,” said Jennifer Stark, 50 FSS marketing director. The theme for Spring Fling was “Once Upon A Time” and advertisements encouraged attendees to dress as their favorite fairy tale character. Activities included a petting zoo, pony rides, games, bounce houses, face painting, balloon art as well as pictures with Harry the bunny and “Beauty and the Beast” characters. “It helps you to meet new people at the base and just brings the community together,” said Nicole Delaney, Schriever spouse. See Fling page 13

As I enter my final three months as comSPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP mander of the 1st SpaceCOLORADO Operations Squadron, several important topics and lessons come to mind that are worthy of sharing with my teammates at the 50th Space Wing. Other squadron commanders have provided excellent perspectives on leadership, so I CSMNG CSMNG decided to share my philosophy on one theme that will continue to shape our operational community: the requirement to instill a warfighting culture in Air Force Space Command. Airmen from 1 SOPS will recognize this philosophy as the concept behind the squadron’s Advanced Training program under Space Mission Force. (Note: this article is geared more toward the operational community, but gives all members of the wing a glimpse into the significance of what is taking place.) My intent is to provide a framework that describes how tactical units within AFSPC can generate a cadre of tacticians capable of succeeding in a contested, degraded, and operationally limited environment. The approach involves three interdependent areas: space operators must 1) conceptualize their job in an entirely different manner 2) maintain a relevant combination of technical expertise and situational awareness of the operational environment and 3) become familiar with historical and contemporary viewpoints of war and warfare. In essence, the framework suggests how we can “make” warfighters in mission areas traditionally focused on providing services that enable warfighting in other domains. Before briefly stepping through the framework, two definitions are necessary. As this article’s title suggests, the transformation involves turning technicians into tacticians.

Lt. Col. Casey Beard 1st Space Operations Squadron commander
For the sake of discussion, a technician represents the traditional role held by all space operators; an individual qualified to operate a system who is task- or procedure-oriented. A tactician, on the other hand, is an individual who is more concerned with context and interrelationships (system capabilities, the environment, mission objectives, nature of resistance, etc.) in order to gain a relative advantage over an adversary. In short, a tactician is an executor of warfare, while a technician interacts with equipment. Both functions are critical, but the technician is not equipped for conflict. The first and most fundamental aspect of transforming technicians into tacticians is
to change the way they perceive their job or role. For military space operators, this means shifting their focus from maintaining system health and status to assuring mission accomplishment throughout the spectrum of conflict. Before he was elected president, Ronald Reagan voiced his simple strategy on how the United States should address communism and the Soviet Union, and it epitomizes the mindset implied here: “We win, and they lose.” Put another way, military space operators must first and always embrace the core motivation that we will not be defeated. This central premise runs counter to the prevailing paradigm that considers space operators as service providers maintaining systems in a permissive environment. Rather, a tactician’s mindset stems from a different worldview — one that understands defeat is possible (and the operating environment is not permissive), mission failure could have significant implications across the joint force (indeed, space capabilities are a component of the joint force). Adopting this new paradigm changes how information is processed, redefining which details are considered important, problematic, acceptable or full of risk. From a warfighting perspective, this paradigm shift provides the context tacticians seek within the dynamics of conflict — in order to gain the advantage. Tacticians must have in-depth and relevant knowledge of technical details, system relationships and threats and environmental influences. These include one’s own weapon system capabilities, limitations and susceptibilities; adversary system capabilities, limitations and susceptibilities; and the operational conditions under which they both operate. A tactician — driven by the mindset described See Tacticians page 4

As former fighter pilot and Air Force historian C.R. Anderegg explained, “The primary consideration for any tactician is the threat.

sions, objectives, rules of engagement, acceptable levels of risk, decision authorities, doctrine and disposition of forces (known as blue and red order of battle) create operational conditions that influence and give impetus to warfighting. A technician may be cognizant of some of these factors, but a tactician demands awareness of all. Finally, tacticians should be exposed to other viewpoints on war and warfare. Historical and contemporary theories and accounts of war offer enduring lessons, new perspectives, and important planning considerations for tacticians to scrutinize and apply where needed. Tacticians such as Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Jomini, Moltke (the Elder), Liddell Hart, J.F.C. Fuller,

Slessor, Schelling, Brodie, and Boyd have dissected war in its many forms to identify relationships and pitfalls associated with offense, defense, maneuver, military genius, decision-making and action, tactical and strategic advantage, deterrence, coercion, etc — all areas of critical importance to a warfighter. Ultimately, familiarity with and internalization of other examples of warfare cultivates a warfighting perspective and hones the min — the most powerful weapon any tactician can yield. Transforming technicians into tacticians is not an easy task. However, it is an essential component of the cultural shift necessary to assure access to space in a CDO environment. The transition
Briefs continued on page 10
starts with adopting a new way of thinking about space operation — we will not be defeated — which generates an entirely new imperative for understanding system capabilities and the operational conditions that influence mission accomplishment. A tactician remains current and effective by expanding his or her perspective of warfare through analyzing viewpoints of other warfighters. These three overarching aspects are normally considered above and beyond for a technician, but represent core competencies of all tacticians. I am truly honored to serve with each and every one of you, and have full confidence that the 50 SW will continue leading AFSPC in this monumental effort!

Top III Council imparts experience By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
The Top III Council, named after the three highest enlisted ranks in the Air Force (master sergeants, senior master sergeants and chief master sergeants) seeks to improve the important roles senior NCOs hold in their professions. “We provide a forum for senior NCOs to meet, exchange ideas, speak on current issues affecting the Air Force and assist one another by sharing unique individual expertise and experiences,” said Master Sgt. Ashley Strong, Top III Council president. By being involved with council activities and meetings, senior NCOs can expect to become part of a congregation of career professionals, learning supervisory and leadership techniques, said Strong. “We have an awesome network of dedicated members who are looking to continue to improve the effectiveness of our organization,” she said. The council is at the apex of the three enlisted professional development organizations, with members sharing their accumulated experience and wisdom to lower ranking enlisted and company grade officers- sending mentors to other PDO meetings for guidance, giving leadership advice to 5/6 and Airmen’s Council administrators and other benefits. “We work with other professional development organizations by helping them co-lead events and through mentorship programs,” said Strong. “These committee leads attend their meetings to ensure cross-communication is accomplished.” The council also recognizes junior enlisted from units on base with the Top Performer Award, highlighting an individual’s superior efforts and contributions to the mission. Members host and organize events such as senior NCO release parties and induction ceremonies, wing annual awards and Schriever Debates. The debates give PDO members a chance to put rank aside and debate as intellectual equals, said Master Sgt. Michael Plemons, Top III Council treasurer. “The debates are an avenue for Airmen, NCOs and senior NCOs to discuss topics pertinent to the Air Force at this

time,” said Plemons. “It provides them and the public open debate and feedback.” The Top III Council is looking to expand upon the debates and other events it hosts, said Strong. “We’re looking forward to growing the Schriever Debate to make it more than a footprint throughout Schriever as well as host more professional development events,” she said. Along with the debates the Top III Council hosts, which
help bind different tiers of the enlisted and officer structure, they are looking to host panels for Airmen, junior and senior NCOs as an open forum for questions and discussion between lower and higher ranks. “I believe we are doing exceptionally well,” said Plemons. “Top III senior NCOs are excited to give back to the Airmen.” For more information about the Top III Council, contact Strong at 567-5065.

Military Child From page 1 bring home a mouse/certificate, plop it down in front of someone and say: “See here what I have done. Be proud of me.” (I also enjoy being scratched behind the ears.) With every step I’ve taken in my career, whether an achievement or setback, dad has always encouraged, loved and supported, even when he disagrees with decisions I may make. This is a true testament to his character, because my dad lost his dad at the age of 11. My dad was the lone survivor in a collision with a drunk driver that killed his father and two of his sisters. I can’t imagine anything more traumatic. If anyone ever had an excuse to not be an exemplary father, it was mine. While my 11 year old dad’s memories of his father are traumatic, mine are nothing but happiness. I remember dad had weekend duty at one point. He had a land mobile radio with him used for communicating on the flightline. I thought his “walkie talkie” was so cool. I asked him to call somebody. We lived about 10 miles from base, so he didn’t think it would reach anyone when he keyed the mic and said something to the effect of, “Come in MOC,” (Maintenance Operations Center) followed by some flightline speak. MOC answered and indicated they would comply with whatever his request was. He got an “oh snap, they heard that” look on his face and we both fell out laughing before he keyed in “Uhhh, disregard MOC.” Another memory around the same timeframe was the green flight gloves he wore. If he came home with a new pair, they didn’t stay new long. Eventually they were stained and covered with engine grime. I used to put them on and “do stuff.” Any “stuff” you do with dad’s gloves on obviously gives you super powers and cool points — sword fights, riding a bike, climbing trees. I loved showing them off to my friends. “Yeah, no big deal guys, just over here being better than you with these super cool gloves.” If I were authorized to wear them now, you can bet I’d be typing this with those gloves on. The best was when dad would wear out his battle dress uniform and give them to my brother and me. So many “wars” were fought in the woods behind our house. Those were the days. That little half acre or so of land was ‘Nam. Nobody could see me in dad’s camo. I was a combination of Rambo and John Cena. (Insert Cena’s intro music here) I have countless “military child” memories I could tell. All of them happy. Sure, there were moves, losing friends and the typical military sacrifices, but I wouldn’t trade them for the world. As a grown man, I see all these priceless memories as a beautiful gift from a wonderful father and veteran. My father does not have these same memories from his father. He never really had the opportunity; yet, he gave memories to me. He never had a template for how to be a good dad. His dad was taken before the template could be fully laid out, but in my eyes he created a superstar template. He would strongly disagree and bemoan his perceived shortcomings, but this is my platform right now, so, tough. Fast forward to later memories and I remember seeing my dad barricaded in our basement with piles of promotion testing material, highlighters, ear plugs and Earl Grey tea. And, just a few weeks ago, where was I? Barricaded in my basement with testing material, ear plugs and tea. To this day, he credits Earl Grey tea with making master sergeant. We’ll find out if I got the tea-to-highlighter ratio right later this year when the technical sergeant promotion list comes out. I have a good feeling this year. If I make it, it will be one more thing to call dad about; one more thing to look and see what dad did next. Despite always wanting to impress dad, one thing brings me great comfort: even if I stumble, mess up, make a bonehead decision or don’t achieve a goal, dad will still love me and I’ll still get that big thumbs up from Papi.

Slowing the spin By Brian Hagberg 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
The world is spinning. Not in that slow, 24-hour daily rotation, imperceptible sense, but more like Dorothy in the tornado, losing the sense of reality, life out-of-control spin. Need to stop it, need to find a focus point. Need someone to slow the rotation. Make the call. “Whenever they need us, we’re there,” Velnette Janes said. Janes is one of Schriever’s victim advocates. Victim advocates are active-duty members or government civilians who volunteer to help sexual assault survivors cope with the aftermath of their assault. They ensure the victim’s needs are met as they navigate life through the reporting process. “Volunteer victim advocates are essential components of the Sexual Assault Response and Prevention team,” said Cecilia Smith, Schriever sexual assault victim advocate. “Advocates ensure victims receive necessary care and support until the victim states otherwise.” Janes, who has been paired with four victims since volunteering for the program in 2012, said she knew as early as basic training she wanted to volunteer. Experience prior to military service prepared her for the role. “I’ve had friends and relatives in the past who have had to deal with this and I’ve been there for them,” she said. “I thought maybe I could do my part while I was here too, and try to stand up and help people.” Victim advocates provide a wide range of support. Janes said she has accompanied victims to police and Office of Special Investigations interviews, attended court martials and been a confidant. “(We’re) just being that person they can

Staff Sgt. Velnette Janes, Schriever volunteer victim advocate, stands outside the Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Office at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Tuesday, April 11, 2017. Volunteer victim advocates provide a range of support services for sexual assault survivors, and help victims try to regain a sense of normalcy following an assault.
confide in and trust and lay whatever they want on you,” Janes said. Through all the support, advocates are trying to help victims regain a sense of normalcy in their lives. “I can give them advice, but we try to get them to start making their own decisions and start being more independent after the situation,” Janes said.
Providing that support can take an emotional toll on the victim advocate as well. “It is a lot, emotionally, when you do have a victim,” she said. “I’ve had some tough situations where I’ve had to call in extra help.” While the advocates have an on-call schedule for emergency situations, Smith and Paula Krause, Schriever Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, try to pair victims with advo-
FR EE
cates who might gel quickly. “All of my victims have been placed with me because of our personalities and thinking they’d be better (served) with me,” Janes said. Advocates don’t just sit around waiting to be paired with a victim. Advocates have monthly meetings, participate in teambuilding exercises and attend court martials as observers. Additionally, they man information booths and assist in the planning, preparation and execution of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month events throughout April. Essentially, they advocate for the victim advocate program when they’re not providing victim support. “Velnette is a dedicated volunteer victim advocate,” Smith said. “She’s loyal to the program and very dependable. She supports us and assists our office with the various base activities and events we hold.” Janes said she would highly recommend volunteering for the program, providing people understand the toll it can take. “It is very rewarding, but it obviously has its good and bad times,” she said. “Sometimes it’s really overwhelming. If you don’t have a stable life, really consider thinking it through because you still have to take care of yourself. “If you are 100 percent sure you want to help somebody through this kind of stuff,” Janes continued. “Then I would definitely do it.” The rewards far outweigh any negatives for Janes. “(The best part is) just being that person they can have as a crutch for a little bit, or just to be there if they feel like they’re spinning out of control,” she said.

Calling 567-3911 saves lives By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
If you are using a cell phone or any phone with a prefix other than 567 or 721 while on base, 567-3911, not 911, is the number to call for Schriever emergency personnel. “Dialing 567-3911 can be the difference between life and death,” said Roger Ours, Schriever Fire Department emergency vehicle dispatcher. “With this number, we can dispatch personnel immediately, otherwise it will take twice as long.” During an emergency, when every minute counts, dialing 567-3911 on your cellphone instead of 911 directly links you with Schriever emergency responders, as opposed to the standard 911 which sends you to an El Paso country dispatcher. This does not apply to base land line phones (567 or 721 prefixes), which will automatically link you with Schriever emergency personnel. Aside from losing precious time, Ours said speaking with
U.S. Air Force graphic/Airman 1st Class William Tracy
El Paso country emergency personnel will mean responders will have to relay the information to Schriever personnel, a process which can lead to complications. “It’s important they talk to us and we get the information firsthand, otherwise information can be lost in the transfer from El Paso,” he said. “It’s also vital as the person calling can tell me directly what’s happening while still on the phone.”
Brad Truver, assistant fire chief, said it’s important for the Schriever community to understand they have immediate access on base to a wealth of emergency services, including a standby ambulance ready to transport individuals who need medical attention to the base gates. “We are our own community,” said Truver. “Team 5-0 has its own ability to provide emergency services.” Truver said Schriever emergency personnel can arrive within minutes, to assist on scene and transport individuals, deal with hostile situations and respond to other emergency situations. However, base personnel and their families need to understand for immediate response, callers need to dial 567-3911. “If you call directly, we’ll ask you a few questions and be on our way,” said Truver. “The importance of dialing that number and calling the right person is crucial.”

Why I wear the uniform
AutismOne
By Airman Adrianna Barelas
2017 Conference
3rd Space Operations Squadron
Sometimes we may ask ourselves why is it we wear the uniform. What makes us so different from everyone else? In everyday life, we see people wear uniforms because they are identified as a certain individual. Uniforms tell people not only does that certain individual belong to a certain group, but they have skills other people do not. For example, a police officer can’t wear their uniform if they have not completed their specific qualification training, and similarly, a doctor can’t wear their uniform until they earn their doctoral degree. You wouldn’t want a police officer doing open heart surgery on someone, just as you wouldn’t want a doctor trying to arrest the bad guy. To me, the uniform I wear means a lot. No matter your rank, officer or enlisted, we all signed up for one thing — to defend our country. We all raised our right hand and took the oath of enlistment, and let not just ourselves, but everyone around us and the people that served before us, know we are proud to serve our great nation. No matter what job we have, we all have the courage to put our life on the line for others. To me, the uniform is a sense of belonging. When I get asked why I wear the uniform, I don’t say it is because I am forced to; it is because I want to. When I wear the uniform, I don’t feel alone. Every day it proves to me I don’t care just for myself, but for others, whether it be civilians or my wingmen. In order to thrive and prosper, we in the Air Force must work together. No matter rank, ethnicity, race, age or gender, we are all after one mission — to Fly, Fight, and Win. The moment I joined the military I wanted to better myself. I wanted discipline, and a structured lifestyle, and that is just what we have. My Air Force family and I have expectations set for us by those appointed over us, civilians and even ourselves. We raise expectations for ourselves in order to fight harder, be stronger and lead ourselves to victory. There are many branches and countries, but to wear the uniform I wear everyday, it not only proves I am in the military, it proves, more importantly, and specifically, the world’s greatest Air Force. When I wear my uniform, I know I am a part of something bigger than myself. It is ironic to me my mother says she is proud of me and everything that I have done, or, when I go into stores and get thanked for my service, when in reality, it is a great honor to know when I wear my uniform I am protecting my loved ones, my friends and those surrounding me; there is not a single thing I would change about it. The Air Force is a life-shaping institution, and the uniform is proof that we are a part of it. You must earn the uniform you wear everyday. You aren’t just given the uniform, you must want it. The demands and opportunities inherent to the Air Force gives you the chance to develop as an individual and as a wingman. You can’t just buy the uniform at your favorite

clothing store because the uniform stands for something. It means the person wearing it represents service before self, integrity first and excellence in all they do. We must be motivated. We must be willing to fail to pick ourselves back up. With our experiences in the military, we build character, and it is all done in our uniforms. Not everyone deserves to wear it, or even can. When I was going through basic training, one of my wingmen was medically discharged, and she cried for days straight. She wanted to be a part of the one percent of people who can proudly say they serve the U.S. Air Force. Not everyone can wear the uniform, but those who do have honor, accountability, patriotism and dedication to what they stand for and what we salute the flag for. Succeed or fail, we all wear the same uniform symbolizing we stand as one in order to accomplish the mission. I say “we,” because there is no individualism. Of course, there are individual reasons as to why people joined the military, but we all wear the same uniform and we all are efficient in providing power to the United States. At the end of day, it’s not why I wear the uniform, but what I have to offer while wearing it. I know that I will never give up and I will stand proud for my country, so help me God.
The conference also helps families affected by OCD, ADHD, and ADD

Schriever members provide grief support
The Good Grief Camp program furthers the 50th Space Wing’s priority of investing in a culture of exceptional service and community for Team Schriever and their families by providing support to military children who have lost their loved ones.
By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
More than 25 Schriever members gathered during a Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors event at Cheyenne Mountain Resort April 1-2, as part of the Month of the Military Child which is held in April. The Good Grief Camp program, a two-day event, paired children who lost family members with mentors to establish communication, maintain a military connection and to let them understand they are not alone. Wearing buttons with photos of fallen loved ones, more than 70 military children interacted with members from several bases including Schriever Air Force Base, Peterson Air Force Base, Fort Carson and the Air Force Academy. TAPS provides programs to support families who are grieving the death of a loved one who served in the Armed Forces. Retired Maj. Bonnie Carroll created the organization after losing her husband in a plane crash in 1992. “At the time, there was no organization for losing a military member in the family,” said Tech. Sgt. Teri Cervenak, 50th Security Forces Squadron flight sergeant. “Now, families have somewhere where they can grieve and talk to other military members who understand what they’re going through. There were grieving sessions throughout the entire weekend for parents, children and spouses.” The first day of the program consisted of training for all the mentors who volunteered. “The TAPS staff was very helpful,” said Staff Sgt. Ashlee Wheeler, 50 SFS Operations NCO. “If we were in a situation where we did not know what to say or do, they helped us out along the way and taught us the best approaches.” After participating in a variety of activities and a trip to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the kids chose who their mentors
would be for the remainder of the weekend. Wheeler said the children were initially quiet and somewhat withdrawn, but by the end of the first day, many of them interacted with other mentees and the mentors. “The little girl I mentored is 6-years-old,” said Cervenak. “She never shared anything about her father, but within the first day she talked to me about him. She never shared anything in a group setting, but on Sunday she did that for the first time ever, while pointing to the picture she drew of her dad. The group leader said that was a huge step for her. It was a blessing to be a part of that.” Many times, connections made with mentees last beyond the camps and events. “The girl I spent time with was closed off at first, but after a trip to the zoo and activities such as trust falls and an obstacle course, she became attached to me,” said Airman 1st Class Marissa Pederson, 50 SFS entry controller. “She began to share more information about her dad and family members. She and her mom both asked if I would like to visit her on weekends. I really want to be there for her after this program so I can continue to support her during her sporting events and important milestones.” Wheeler said she thought one of the most important parts of the weekend was during the second day. “We did an activity which involved the kids taking turns sitting in the middle of a parachute,” she said. “We all walked around and told them we loved and supported them. It was an important reminder that even though their family member wasn’t here anymore, they are a part of the service and will always remain in the military family.” Mentors and counselors are always available through TAPS whenever there is a death of a loved one.

Fling From page 1 She said she enjoyed the games and seeing the kids have fun. Pony ride attendant, Emily Allen said she loves her job. “I think it’s really awesome that this is going on. I like it a lot. This is my second year working here,” she said. Nathan Lincoln, Noah’s Ark Petting Zoo and Pony Ride owner, said the best part of supervising the petting zoo is seeing all the kids and the way they love the animals. “It’s a lot of fun and all the kids get to come out and they have the bounce houses for them. We’ve been coming out here now for seven or eight years at least,” Lincoln said. Other attendees favored the face paints and opportunity to see the Disney characters. Kamoania Fajardo, 8, said Ariel is her favorite fairy tale character. “(Ariel) has courage that she can become anything,” said Fajardo. She enjoyed getting her face painted and was excited about the bike give-away which will take place later in the week. Spring Fling is always held the weekend before Easter Sunday. “This year’s event was great for everybody. We couldn’t have done this without the great Team Schriever volunteers and the sponsors,” said Thea Wasche, 50 FSS deputy commander.

AFSPC commander unveils three major space initiatives at 33rd Space Symposium By 1st Lt. Christopher Merian Headquarters Air Force Space Command Public Affairs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Air Force unveiled three significant space initiatives at the 33rd Space Symposium April 4. During a keynote address, General Jay Raymond, commander of Air Force Space Command, announced a new office for space at the Air Staff, a new warfighting construct for space and improvements in space battle management command and control. Raymond highlighted the 35-year history of AFSPC, its Airmen, and how the command has evolved from its creation during the Cold War, its first combat engagement during Operation Desert Storm and the current space threats our nation faces today. He noted the successful test of an antisatellite weapon by the Chinese in 2007, which created more than 3,000 pieces of space debris, and marked the beginning of a new era for space. “That event marked the third phase of this command — the modern era for military space, where space is a joint warfighting domain,” said Raymond. “Just like air, land and sea, space is a warfighting domain and the Airmen of AFSPC are joint warfighters.” Raymond introduced the Space Warfighting Construct, which combines transformational and warfighting-focused command initiatives to maintain space superiority in the 21st century. This new era in space is defined by a contested, degraded and operationally-limited environment. Raymond spoke about how the command is evolving to ensure our space capabilities are available for the warfighter in this new environment. “Building the command and integrating the capabilities of the command into joint military operations has positioned us to meet the multi-domain challenges we currently face,” said Raymond. “When our battlefield Airmen go into the fight today they do so with air, space and cyberspace in their quiver. Space and cyber are the DNA of multi-domain integration.” Another major space initiative announced was the development of a Battle Management Command and Control system. “Our space warfighting CONOPS relies on the abil-
U.S. Air Force graphic
ity to command and control across multiple domains,” said Raymond. Space BMC2 will enable operational commanders to simultaneously maneuver space assets and direct defensive operations against multiple threats while maintaining space effects for the warfighter. “We activated the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center, now the National Space Defense Center, to build unity of effort between the Department of Defense and the intelligence community to effectively command and control in a contested domain, which ultimately provides us the capability to be able to fight and win a war if it extends into space” said Raymond. “Let me be clear with everybody in this room, we are not interested in getting in that fight. Nobody wins that fight, but we will be prepared for it,” said Raymond. In addition to the new Space Warfighting Construct and
Space BMC2 program, Raymond also announced the creation of a new 3-star deputy chief of staff for space at the Air Force Headquarters in Washington. “Just like we have a deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence, we’re going to have a deputy chief of staff for space. They will come to work every day focused on making sure we can organize, train and equip our forces to meet the ever increasing challenges in the space domain.” Raymond summed up his remarks by reiterating the importance of the mission of AFSPC. “There is no way we could do what we do today without the incredible efforts of this command,” said Raymond. “Our joint warfighting partners need to have space all the time. That’s not a given anymore, we’re hard at work to make sure that it is,” added Raymond. “And it is going to take the support of government, industry and the support of our international partners.”
