a spouse deployed, or are experiencing highlevels of stress, you may even qualify for the Air Force Aid Society-sponsored Give Parents a Break program. This is a full five-hour break offered for free on a monthly basis. You’ll need to obtain an authorization certificate from your supervisor, first sergeant, commander, chaplain, or the Airman and Family Readiness Center to qualify. For those looking for alternate child care solutions, there is the Family Child Care program, offered when both the CDC and SAC programs are closed. This program employs personal child care businesses who have met the same background checks, curriculum requirements and inspections processes as our CDC and SAC personnel and programs. FCC is offered to all base-affiliated personnel and support evening, overnight and weekend care. For a list of FCC programs, contact the CDC, SAC, or A&FRC. If all three programs are full, eligible families have the option to utilize a subsidy program where members are reimbursed by the government for the cost difference between using this private child care service versus the CDC or SAC. I personally believe we owe you the highest quality child care possible and our team has worked tirelessly to meet this obligation head-on. We want you to feel confident that your children are in an enriching, healthy and safe environment as you work to defend our country. If you’d like to take part in our child care services or need more information, contact the CDC/SAC programs at 567-4742, A&FRC at 567-3920, or the A&FS Flight Chief at 567-5464.

3 SOPS celebrates heritage with final dining-out By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — As the 3rd Space Operations Squadron chapter closes, they celebrated their achievements and unit members during a dining-out prior to merging with the 4th Operations Squadron this month. The ceremony, themed “Closing Time,” was held at Peterson Air Force Base Club, Saturday, May 20. “This is our 25 year anniversary since 3 SOPS became an individual, functional unit,” said Capt. Wesley Althaus, 3 SOPS Weapons and Tactics flight commander. “However, we trace our roots back to the 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron that flew imaging missions in the Pacific during
World War II. We’re celebrating our unit’s heritage since that time.” A dining-out is an ancient tradition, which has been passed down through generations. It is a variant of the dining-in, which dates back hundreds of years when militaries held feasts to honor victories and unit achievements. Today, dining-outs are formal events used to strengthen unit esprit de corps, build working relationships and create an atmosphere of good fellowship. “This event was in the planning phase since last December,” Althaus said. “I’m the arrangements officer for the events, so I oversaw the committee throughout the planning and execution phases of making the event happen. We have a lot of motivated people, both officer and enlisted, that stepped
up and did an awesome job pulling this off.” During a dining-out, the grog is often the centerpiece of the occasion. Squadron flight commanders all poured various ingredients in the two grogs present. They remained open throughout the duration of dinner, and anyone in the mess could have been called out for mess rule violations. After dinner was served, the squadron proceeded with a cake cutting ceremony and showed a 3 SOPS heritage video to attendees. “It was an amazing time,” said Senior Airman Yakov Kim, 50th Operations Support Squadron course manager. “It was great to see some of the past members of the 3 SOPS See Heritage page 11

AFSPC makes history with inaugural Space Flag exercise By Maj. Lisa Case 705th Combat Training Squadron, Operating Location-Alpha
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — April 17 marked a new era in Air Force Space Command history. The inaugural Space Flag exercise, designated Space Flag 17-1, took place at Boeing’s Phantom Works Virtual Warfare Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, during which 46 men and women navigated notional scenarios designed to prepare them for the possibility of a fight extending to the space domain. Developed in response to evolving threats and with knowledge gained during rounds of experimentation at the newly-renamed National Space Defense Center, Space Flag is the first exercise focused on priming the tactical space warfighter to move beyond the traditional outlook of operating in a permissive, benign environment to one that emphasizes achieving the operational advantage in a contested, degraded and operationally-limited domain. No other exercise allows space operators, planners and leaders to exercise acting decisively to defend U.S. space interests in the face of new challenges. Just as Red Flag was created to provide fighter pilots with relevant and realistic training to better prepare them for combat, Space Flag is designed to fulfill a similar purpose for space warfighters. Adversaries are developing capabilities to deny, disrupt and degrade our access to space during a conflict. As adversary threats grow, training must shift to counter these threats. Space Flag helps prepare space forces to react to a thinking adversary and operate as warfighters in this environment. It builds on recent initiatives, such as the Space Mission Force, which are creating a warfighting mindset among space operators. The 705th Combat Training Squadron, Operating Location-

Alpha, located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, known as the Distributed Mission Operations Center-Space, developed, planned and executed Space Flag on behalf of Headquarters Air Force Space Command. “Space Flag 17-1 is historic. This is an exercise dedicated to the advanced training of space operators in a realistic and representative space environment,” said Larry Overmyer, DMOC-S director. “The space operators who participated in this exercise developed warfighting skills and tactics, techniques and procedures required to maintain and operate their systems to provide space capabilities to commanders around the world.” Space Flag was comprised of “Blue Forces” from the 50th Space Wing; including the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Space Operations Squadrons. The 527th and 26th Space Aggressor Squadrons provided a challenging and thinking adver-
sary named the “Red Force.” Additionally, the 22nd Space Operations Squadron, the NSDC and DMOC-S provided “White Cell” support. Future Space Flags are envisioned to increase in size and scope with the integration of additional space wings, eventually becoming the premier AFSPC advanced training event, with participants from the entire spectrum of the space enterprise. “Space Flag was the first time most space crews had ever faced a thinking adversary. The 50th crews initially approached the problem with a pre-Space Mission Force mentality. After a wakeup call in the first event, courtesy of the 527th and 26th Space Aggressor Squadrons, the crews applied their lessons learned and brought a strong fight to the second vulnerability period,” said Capt. Even Rogers, Red Force lead. From start to finish, Space Flag focused on preparing space warfighters to conduct operations as part of a larger, integrated space mission force. This composite mission planning structure is key to giving participants the opportunity to rapidly process and disseminate information and react appropriately when confronted by a threat. “This was the best space intel and space ops integration I have seen in my 26-year career. Facing an actual thinking adversary provided exceptional benefits — our space operators now understood the real threat they will face,” said Col. Toby Doran, 50th Operations Group commander and Blue Force lead. Space Flag 17-1 is a significant step in the transformation taking place to prepare space operators for the reality of a contested environment in space, and a taste of the SMF mentality was given to the participants of the Space Flag exercise.
Last week’s question and answer: What current 50th Space Wing squadron activated on Jan. 16, 1962, but was not organized until Feb. 1, 1962? With detachments around the world, the squadron operated SPACETRACK, the U.S. Air Force globe-spanning space surveillance network, from 1962 to 1967. It was the 2nd Space Operations Squadron. This week’s question: Before being acquired by the Air Force as a satellite control site, New Boston Air Force Station fulfilled what role after 1942? Responses to the quiz questions can be emailed to 50 SW/PA at 50swpa.workflow@us.af.mil.

The 50th Network Operations Group will open the summer season supporting five satellite launches in a 90-day timeframe, continuing to strengthen our partnerships to protect, defend and operate critical national space systems. This marks the start of a busy summer for the 50 NOG, whose support of these launches will further the 50th Space Wing’s mission of commanding space and cyber systems to deliver global combat effects by building a more resilient Air Force Satellite Control Network architecture. “These launches will help our valuable and important space structure in a timely and efficient manner,” said 1st Lt. Arthur Williams, 22nd Space Operations Squadron launch officer. “A lot of people rely on AFSCN support for telemetry, data, sending commands and tracking orbits among other things.” While the exact roles of the satellites cannot be disclosed, Williams said they definitely provide positive benefits towards U.S. space dominance. “Getting this support structure in place can help our troops on the ground, as well as help the civilian and commercial sector,” he said. “Schriever is home to many different space operations squadrons, with varying
missions, so getting all these different payloads into space only adds to their missions.” Three of the satellites will be launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, June 1, 15 and July 1; while two will be set to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, June 25 and July 22. Schriever space squadrons, such as 22 SOPS, will play a shared role in the process, ensuring a smooth transition of the satellite from launch to operations. During this time, the 50 NOG will continue to support their user’s scheduling operations contacts to their 175 satellites on a daily basis. Marc Yardley, 22 SOPS satellite network scheduling supervisor, said while launches are common for 22 SOPS and the 50 NOG, it is always an anticipated event. “Launch day is always a big deal,” Yardley said. “We are in a heightened state of alert; I’ve been there for quite a few launches. I’ve lost track, but it’s always exciting to watch; to see the process and preparation build all the way to launch day.” Yardley said the launches indicate a promising summer for Schriever and the 50 SW’s role of delivering global combat effects. “The ultimate end user is the warfighter,” Yardley said. “That’s why we help do this; to provide them real time assets, communication and intel and keep them out of harm’s way. That’s what we do.”

Annual Schriever duathlon inspires, challenges participants

(Top) Participants run down the running path during the first portion of the 12th annual Schriever duathlon at Schriever Air Force Base Colorado, Friday, June 17, 2016. The event required all 22 participants to complete a 1-mile run, followed by a 12-mile bike ride and finish with another 1-mile run.

The start of summer brings another opportunity for Team Schriever to participate in the annual Schriever duathlon June 9. During the event, athletes will complete a 1-mile run followed by a 12-mile bike ride around the base perimeter, followed by another 1-mile run. “There is a transition point set up by the paved running path,” said Mark Schuette, 50th Force Support Squadron assistant fitness and sports manager. “The transition point acts as the start and finish of the running and biking portions. Since the run and bike portions are loops that begin and end at the transition point, we track progress by completion of each loop. There will be race guides on the perimeter to ensure that nobody cuts corners and to help participants
who break down or need medical assistance.” The 2017 Schriever duathlon marks the 13th consecutive summer the fitness center will host the event. According to Schuette, approximately 30 to 40 participants sign up for this event each year. Staff Sgt. Brian Parra, 2nd Space Operations Squadron satellite system operator, has already signed up and is ready for the challenge. “This would mark my first time participating in the duathlon,” Parra said. “I actually heard about the race through my supervisor who participated in the race last year; she earned second place. I’ve always been interested in the base physical events like the triathlon, GoRuck, half marathon and turkey trot. This is right up my alley of things I like to do, plus the mental and physical challenge of a race is always exciting.”

would say not to be intimidated by the events or other competitors; all of our participants are very supportive of each other. Since the events are annual, participants can give the events a shot this year and see where they stand. Then they can set a goal to shoot for next year to improve their time and try to place in the top three.” Team Schriever can also look forward to a collaborative tri-wing triathlon, taking place this summer; the 10, 21 and 50 FSS will present the event. Schriever will host the mountain bike portion of the Tri-Wing triathlon at the base picnic July 21. The run portion will be at the United States Air Force Academy June 3 and the swim portion will take place at Peterson Air Force Base June 24.

The deadline to register is Wednesday. There will be prizes for the top three females and top three male finishers and all participants will earn T-shirts. “My favorite part would be the bike ride,” Parra said. “Cruising around the perimeter of Schriever gives you the realization that not much is around the base and we really do seem isolated from a lot of the city, however, the scenery is pretty amazing especially when you can see Pikes Peak on a clear day. I’m excited to participate in the race with a good group of people who share the same interests and being able to have the opportunity to network outside your work area.” Schuette has advice for Schriever members planning to participate this year. “I think people should know that the purpose of these events are to have fun and they are also completely free,” Schuette said. “I

The Academy Winds Band perform during the 3rd Space Operations Squadron dining-out at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Saturday, May 20, 2017. Dining-outs are formal events used to strengthen unit esprit de corps, build working relationships and create an atmosphere of good fellowship.
Heritage From page 5 family and hear their stories. My favorite part of the event was seeing the video. It showed the heritage of 3 SOPS as a photo reconnaissance squadron in World War II. It was humbling to see their sacrifice, innovation and their contribution to the war effort.” Maj. Gen. Clinton Crosier, U.S. Strategic Command Director of Plans and Policy, was the guest speaker for the night. He discussed his time as a 3 SOPS member and the importance of remembering and celebrating their rich heritage. “In 1992, your squadron was born,” Crosier said. “Things change, but legacy lives on. When you look back, do so with
fondness and ensure that your combined legacy drives the future for those who come after you so they can inherit and benefit from all you have done. Come June, we are one team, one fight and go 4 SOPS, go.” According to Althaus, this event was bittersweet for the squadron. “We made a big effort to invite former squadron members to attend since this is our last dining-out. We had both former and current members attending, including former commanders and a retired chief master sergeant who served in the first SATCOM operations squadron back in the 1960’s. This event gives everyone who has been a part of our mission through the years to come together and have one last night together.” The 3 SOPS inactivation and change of command ceremony for the new merged 4 SOPS is scheduled to take place June 13.

Skie Seggerman, 11, performs a long jump at Ellicott Elementary School, Ellicott, Colorado, Wednesday, May 24, 2017. Children and more than 30 Schriever volunteers participated in a circuit of game stations that included three-legged racing, board walking, long jumping, obstacle course and much more as part of Ellicott School District’s annual field days, which ran May 22-24.
Ellicott From page 1
“I got involved because it seems like a good way to give back to the community,” said Airman 1st Class Quinten Lang, 4th Space Operations Squadron terminal operator. “We want people to know we are here to be good neighbors.” For Lang, the day was also about paying forward a good deed. “When I first arrived in Colorado Springs, my vehicle got broken into and robbed. All these people in the squadron who I didn’t

know rallied around me and helped me through a hard time. If I, as a complete stranger, can help these kids enjoy their day in the same selfless way people helped me, then I think it’s the right thing to do.” According to Stroph, having volunteers like Lang at the event is critical to the event’s success. “Our Schriever volunteers are the glue of our school,” Stroph said. “I think the communication and rapport of our school and Schriever is awesome. If they weren’t here helping, it definitely would not run as smoothly. Our kids look forward to the Airmen coming out. Every one of them work hard and competes with their kids.”

Fourth and 5th grade Ellicott Elementary School students try their hands at a balance game at Ellicott Elementary School, Ellicott, Colorado, Wednesday, May 24, 2017. The activities were part of the school district’s annual field days, which ran May 22-24. The event’s goal is to reward children for their efforts during the long school year.
Eleven-year-old Cheyennne Ettleman enjoyed the end of the school year event. “I’m having so much fun,” Ettleman said. “The most fun part was probably the bean bag [toss]. It is fun that the Air Force guys are helping. They make the games more exciting because they’re cheering for you.” For Stroph, seeing the smiles on the children’s faces makes her job that much more worthwhile. “Everybody is engaged and participating,” Stroph said. “It’s a fun time to reward the kids. It’s hard to just be a kid these days. There’s so much testing in school and I think having a day where they can just be kids for a little while is important.”

1st Lt. Jason Moore, 1st Space Operations Squadron maintenance operations flight commander, saw the event as a key opportunity to mentor young people who might one day follow in his footsteps. “I always love helping out the community and this is one of the best opportunities to come help out the next generation of future leaders,” Moore said. “For us, we’re less than one percent of the population, so it’s good for them get that exposure with the people who fight 24/7 to protect the freedoms they have. They get that person-to-person connection and hopefully are even more supportive of our military and understand what it means to be free.”

Strengthening Families Commentary by Maj. Tyler Westerberg 21st Space Operations Squadron, Det. 1 commander
As I approach the tail end of a oneyear remote tour on a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, I have been contemplating the most significant inspiration in helping me serve — family. On the surface, the Air Force core value “Service Before Self,” may appear to contradict familial needs; after all, service often demands sacrifice, and sacrifice may necessitate leaving family for some time. Nevertheless, “Service Before Self ” does not exempt us from taking care of our families. In fact, strengthening our families will only enhance our commitment to serve. Proper education, thorough preparation, and sincere appreciation will greatly aid in fostering a stronger family in the midst of dedicated military service. All service members and their respective families contribute immensely to the protection of our great nation. Whether an operator, maintainer, defender, or any other position, every role is essential to mission success because the Air Force operates as a team. Without crossing the lines of classification, educating our families for the vital part they play in the defense of our nation will only strengthen the resolve to support. This is especially true during periods of prolonged separation such as deployments.
Maj. Tyler Westerberg 21st Space Operations Squadron Det. 1 commander
Most people have an inherent desire to matter, be important, or contribute to a greater cause. Certainly, our families matter, are important, and contribute — therefore, we should articulate this to them often. Despite deployments, temporary duties, or extra-long hours, we are responsible for preparing our families appropriately. Thankfully, the Air Force offers a number of valuable resources to assist our families in times of extended separation or unexpected emergencies. Furthermore, service members are required to maintain a certain level of personal readiness in the event of last
minute deployments. Maintaining a state of readiness not only aids in responding quickly to unforeseen circumstances, but it also provides a sense of mental preparedness for our families and us. The late William James, known as the father of American psychology, stated, “The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.” By signing on the dotted line and volunteering to serve, we, to a certain extent, forced our families into military life. As deeply committed Airmen, we relish the opportunity to serve. Yet, as we adventure, our families remain trapped in the day-to-day routine of maintaining domestic affairs and have to endure life’s challenges in our absence. The simple act of offering sincere appreciation uplifts spirits and alleviates strain. Appreciation provides a sense of comfort and functions as a valuable tool for our loved ones in helping to cope with the stresses of military life. Whether a spouse, significant other, child, parent, sibling, or friend, the definition of family is up for personal interpretation. Regardless of whomever you call your family, we owe them deep and sincere gratitude for backing us up while we serve in whatever capacity the Air Force deems essential in fulfilling its needs. Our families are integral in helping us accomplish the mission, and preparing them appropriately will greatly enhance their capacity to support, and likewise, our ability to fight.
