The 3rd Space Operations Squadron inactivation and change of command ceremony for the new merged 4 SOPS furthers the 50th Space Wing’s vision of evolving the force, driving innovation and mastering space by integrating missions to drive the squadron to greater heights.

The 3rd Space Operations Squadron inactivated then merged its mission with the 4th Space Operations Squadron during an inactivation and a change of command ceremony at the 50th Space Wing headquarters building Tuesday, June 13.

Lt. Col. Armon Lansing assumed command of 4 SOPS from Lt. Col. Sherman Johns. At the start of the ceremony, the two squadrons stood separately, then merged into a single formation to symbolize the unification of two missions committed to drive the new squadron to greater heights. “Lt. Col. Michael Todd, my predecessor,

initiated discussion regarding the merger,” said Lt. Col. Joshua Brooks, former 3 SOPS commander. “He wanted to see what we could experiment with to improve the mission.” Leadership wanted to use ground system automation capabilities to command and See Farewell page 4

50th Space Wing Priority #2 Advance professionalism and infrastructure to enable mission performance

446 CES helps Schriever engineers carry on mission By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

For two weeks, more than 40 Air Force reservists with the 446th Civil Engineer Squadron from Joint Base LewisMcChord, Washington State, are currently assisting the 50th Civil Engineer Squadron with several engineering projects. The reservists have been working on projects such as maintaining equipment, replacing boilers, fixing roof leaks and more. “We offer a great opportunity for the 446 CES to integrate with us and utilize their annual training days for training opportunities they wouldn’t normally have during their drill weekends,” said Lt. Col. Andrew DeRosa, 50 CES commander. “So far, they have been great and truly allow us to do more with less. Total force integration is extremely important overall across the services and this is how we get tasks done home station and down range with support from the guardsmen and reservists.” Members of the 446 have also been helping in the 50 CES back shops. “For our annual tours, we usually go somewhere to build something and work on a big project as a group,” said Master Sgt. Douglas Seekins, 446 CES water fuels systems maintenance shop NCO in charge. “Being here is a new thing, to come in and backfill the shops of an existing active duty squadron it’s a new, but great experience.” Many of the reservists have found the work and new opportunities at Schriever to be very rewarding. “I’m used to running a shop and turning wrenches,” Seekins said. “Now, I’m managing personnel and taking accountability for the entire team. “It’s been a big adjustment and a great learning opportunity.

50th Network Operations Group superintendent COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

Every couple of years, 50th Space Wing Airmen experience a massive influx of change. For example, we are kicking off the wing’s biggest season of change with change of command ceremonies. CSMNG CSMNG Throughout the year, members are coming and going, moving to the daily battle rhythm of change as part of the military way of life. As members of the United States Air Force, we’ve grown accustomed to change, we say farewell to colleagues and friends who have been built through good and hard times, and welcome new, energized members to take the reins and keep the mission and people driving forward. The Four Rooms of Change, a theory prompted by Claes Janssen’s, psychologist, to address how people deal with change, outlines a four-bedroom apartment containing the four mindsets we go through when presented with change, the rooms being: comfort, denial, confusion and renewal. Each one of us will go through these stages during the next few months as old leaders say farewell and new leaders take command. Summer assignment rotations will be in full effect, with many members moving to new locations and new faces appearing on base. Your first experience with change is when you entered the world. From that point on, you started your book, also known as memories. I like to think of memories as a book which highlights your ‘chapters of change.’ COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP

Chief Master Sgt. Patricia Ford 50th Network Operations Group superintendent

These chapters have been molded throughout your lives by experiences, people and places you’ve encountered. Your book will continue to build as your experiences change and new chapters are added. If you go back in time and read your ‘chapters of change,’ you’ll notice each one of the Janssen’s stages of change. Sometimes change is not wanted, but is necessary in order for you to grow, develop and challenge yourself. A quote, from Flight of the Buffalo, that

best describes this is, “Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have — and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving it up.” Sometimes change is welcomed, because you want to see or be more. As Winston Churchill quoted, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” Change is inevitable. Remember, not all people will quickly adapt to the changes that confront them, while others may easily move through the stages, ready to tackle change head on. However, you handle change, and each person is accountable for their attitudes with change. You are building ‘chapters of change’ for yourself and the people around you. You can affect how their books are built and the chapters written in them. During the next two months, the 50 SW will say farewell to amazing leaders and Airmen devoted to the space and cyberspace mission here at Schriever Air Force Base. But as great leaders and Airmen leave, we welcome new members ready to continue the challenge and innovation our wing, groups and squadrons have been charged to do. As members leave to new assignments, jobs or retirement, they are additions to your and their own books, building ‘chapters of change.’ However you deal with the changes in your life, you need to be ready to take care of each other and remember, the words of Alan Watts, “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”

50th Operations Group members furl the 3rd Space Operations Squadron guidon during the 3 SOPS inactivation ceremony at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Tuesday, June 13, 2017. Combining the two squadrons aligned the wing’s military satellite communications under one unified entity.

Col. Toby Doran, 50th Operations Group commander, presents the guidon to Lt. Col. Armon Lansing, 4th Space Operations Squadron incoming commander, during the 4 SOPS change of command ceremony at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Tuesday, June 13, 2017. Lansing assumed command from Lt. Col. Sherman Johns who is transitioning to the National Space Defense Center.

Farewell From page 1 control the Wideband Global SATCOM satellites and the Defense Satellite Communications System III constellations. This experiment reduced a sixperson crew to one person on the operations floor. In January, this became a reality and enabled 3 SOPS crews to integrate with 4 SOPS to have all Air Force military satellite communications under one unified squadron. “It is always difficult for any squadron to inactivate and say goodbye to the family and culture that created that innovation; it is bittersweet,” Brooks said. “4 SOPS has always been our sister squadron and we’ve always had a good- natured rivalry between the squadron. I can say without a doubt though, most people are excited and looking forward to the

opportunities of what 4 SOPS will be able to do.” Several Airmen echoed that sentiment, because while preparation of the merge proved to be a challenge at times, the squadrons made every effort to unite and looked forward to working together. “Every unit has its own identity and culture,” said Master Sgt. Carl White, former 3 SOPS superintendent. “Ours is distinctly different than our sister squadron, but from the lowest to highest ranking Airman, they have shown nothing but a positive attitude during this process. Even those who are out of their element have stepped up. It’s been an honor and privilege to be part of the 3 SOPS legacy and also extremely humbling to work with such great men and women.” Brooks said the squadrons were given a very difficult task of taking an innovative idea of merging the squadrons and making it a reality. “I am extremely proud of the men and women in this squadron,” Brooks said. “From day one, they all

pulled together to ensure we achieved results and provided the best capabilities. Pride is my number one feeling. We know we successfully completed our mission and I think we all look forward to a time when 3 SOPS is reactivated with a new mission.” Once the official merger was complete during the ceremony, Lansing expressed his gratitude and enthusiasm to lead the reorganized squadron. “It is a pleasure to return to the 50th Space Wing and be a part of this special day,” Lansing said. “We pause to honor the legacy of the two squadrons and welcome the new opportunities of our combined team under the 4 SOPS banner. As I receive this guidon, I look forward to carrying on the tradition and leading this squadron to the next place on our journey. I can already say I am proud of this squadron and honored to be your commander.” As the two squadrons integrated, 4 SOPS became one of the largest space operation squadrons in the U.S. Air Force.

You have dreams, there are opportunities By 2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

From a very young age, many children are told to “stay in school,” because it’s a critical factor for future success; however, for college, it is easier said than done. “I worked multiple jobs throughout my college career, and it definitely had an impact on my ability to focus on academics,” said Lt. Col. Kevin Amsden, 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron commander. Amsden did not want his daughter, Breanna, to struggle as he struggled. Instead, he wanted her to have assistance in achieving her aspirations, searching with her for opportunities to pursue her dreams. “As parents, we sat down with Breanna to identify any and all scholarships she would be eligible for, and then made a plan for meeting the various deadlines,” Amsden said. “It took a lot of work to get everything done and delivered, but it was definitely worth it.” The fruit of the Amsden family’s labors was a bundle of four scholarships to help Breanna on her way to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. She was fortunate to be 1 of 19 recipients of the Air Force Officers’ Spouses’ Club of Washington D.C. High School Class of 2017 Scholarship. “One of (my mother’s) students was awarded this scholarship in the past and she recommended I take a look at it for myself,” Breanna said. “In a world where so many students my age would be applying for so many of the same scholarships, I thought this was a fantastic opportunity to set myself apart and apply for financial aid using traits unique to me- being a military kid and serving my country in my own special way.” Breanna was happy to say, out of more than 60 applicants of various ages and backgrounds, she was the only dependent in Colorado or Air Force Space Command to receive the $2,500 in scholarship money, to be spent solely on 2017-2018 academic undergraduate studies. “We have some amazing applicants,” said Mina Baldinger, AFOSC scholarship chairwoman. “A lot of our winners are typically A-students, taking the hardest courses offered, scoring well on SAT/ACT tests, volunteering a lot of hours in their community and receiving awards for academics, sports or leadership. They are also scored on an essay question.” The AFOSC not only provides high school students’ scholarship opportunities, but also supports the needs of other

Breanna was 1 of 19 recipients of the AFOSC scholarships.

dependents, such as undergraduate students and spouses, to ease the financial stresses that come with pursuing higher education. “It’s easy for graduating high-schoolers to be thinking about scholarships, but the AFOSC scholarship is unique since it is also open to spouses of active-duty military members,” Amsden said. “I hope that word can get out this opportunity exists for them.” The AFOSC scholarship chairs take applications for their scholarships annually, and typically have a final decision sent to the recipients in May. Eligible dependents are urged to

apply because the AFOSC scholarship chairs are sometimes allotted as high as 120 scholarships in one year. “I implore all college-bound students to apply for every scholarship possible,” Breanna said. “Three hours worth of work to get a scholarship together can earn $3,000 that would have taken (many more) days to earn normally. Apply, apply, apply. There is no better way, and take heart. Have faith in your abilities as a student and your capacity as a person. Show the world what you are really made of.” To find out more about AFOSC scholarships, visit https:// www.afoscdc.com/scholarships.html.

‘Pay at the Port’ streamlines MilAir travel By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Due to a recent Air Force Accounting and Finance Office directive, Airmen will now use their Government Travel Charge Card for MilAir travel related expenses. The program, named “Pay at the Port”, is intended to simplify the electric billing process and eliminate the backroom accounting associated with military travel. It provides an upfront, streamlined process where funds are collected at the time of travel in the passenger terminal, as opposed to months or years later. “In the past, finance individuals would run the funds and some people would be unaware of any charges,” said Master Sgt. Kathy Blake, 50th Comptroller Squadron superintendent. “The process was more systematic. Now it relies more on the individual.” This change makes it important for Schriever Airmen to ensure their GTCC is in due order. This includes making sure GTCC’s are activated, cardholders know their personal identification number and have their credit limit costs increased if necessary to accommodate the changes in travel costs. While official orders are accepted for pay-

ment at passenger terminals, problems with GTCC’s can cause significant delays to travel. “If someone has a really low GTCC amount, it can be costly,” Blake said. “The traveler can be charged lodging as well as airfare and other charges; it’s important that their GTCC is increased and kept track of.” Airmen are advised to consult their unit Agency Program Coordinator for any GTCC concerns and to ensure travel will go smooth-

ly. Each GTCC card has a number included on it which will direct individuals to a help line which will try to alleviate any problems encountered. Wing APC’s such as Senior Airman William Nash, 50th Comptroller Squadron, are also available to provide help and advice to Airmen at a broader level. “Depending on the issue, such as need of a credit increase, need of activation or a new

card, APC’s can send a request and assist you,” Nash said. “Airmen need to coordinate with unit APC’s, who in turn coordinate with us.” Seeking assistance can prevent negative impacts for service members and for Schriever. “Being delinquent on your GTCC it can affect your personal credit score,” Nash said. “We also have a GTCC metric, which shows a number of members delinquent over 60 days. If we don’t make that metric, it can affect the 50th Space Wing’s quality of life reimbursement.” At its core, the “Pay at the Port” system is intended to help eliminate any surprising or forgotten about charges brought about through the prolonged accounting processes. It is expected to provide clarity to military travel, adding to the importance of making sure travel plans are good to go well before scheduled departure. “The process before just wasn’t efficient,” Blake said. “While this program adds more responsibility for the member, it is intended to help make you aware.” To find out more about the program, contact Blake at 567-5666.

Last week’s question and answer: The Consolidated Space Operations Center turnover from Air Force Systems Command to Air Force Space Command occurred incrementally over several years. What associated turnover occurred on October 1, 1987? On that date, the Air Force Satellite Control Network common user element transferred from Air Force Systems Command to Air Force Space Command. This week’s question: In 1959, remote tracking stations for satellite operations opened at Hawaii, Vandenberg Air Force Base, New Hampshire and other locations. The next expansion of the network occurred in 1961, when three additional sites opened. Name one of those sites.

KAENA POINT, Hawaii — 21st Space Operations Squadron, Detachment 3, welcomed a new commander during a change of command ceremony held atop the Waianae mountain range, Hawaii, June 9. Maj. Edmond Chan assumed command of the detachment from Maj. Robert F. Shumaker. Lt. Col. Phillip Verroco, 21st Space Operations Squadron commander, presided over the ceremony. “Three years ago, I asked my team here to teach me to be a better leader,” said Shumaker. “One hundred and three weeks later, I have been tested in every facet of my leadership capacity. Thank you everyone who made this assignment a memorable one. I am truly sad to leave this place, but I know there are bright times ahead for Kaena Point.” Shumaker will be assigned to the 614th Air and Space Operations Center, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, as the chief of combat operations.

“Maj. Shumaker was not a ‘behind-the-desk’ type of commander,” said Verroco. “His command presence was abundant as he was often down in the trenches with his Airmen. But we are fortunate that as we lose Rob [Shumaker], we gain Ed [Chan]. I have absolute confidence that he will do an awesome job here.” Before taking command of Detachment 3, Chan served as the deputy chief of the Space Operations Division for the 14th Air Force, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. “To Rob, your leadership over this unit has given me a benchmark for success,” said Chan. “To the men and women of Detachment 3, I consider myself fortunate to be your commander.

Air Force stands up new Headquarters Space Directorate Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson has approved the reorganization of the Air Force headquarters to establish a Deputy Chief of Staff for Space Operations, who will be a three-star Air Force general officer. “This is the next step in our effort to integrate, normalize and elevate space operations in the Air Force,” said Wilson. “The United States is dependent on space and our adversaries know it. We must organize and train forces to be able to prevail in any future conflict which could extend into space.” The new directorate will begin operating in early August. Over the next two months, the Air Force will work to stand up the Deputy Chief of Staff for Space Operations directorate — or “A-11” — by establishing an initial A-11 cadre, establishing operations and identifying the senior leaders who will lead the new staff. “A new three-star deputy chief of staff for space … will increase decision making speed and help ensure freedom from attack and freedom to maneuver,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein. “The Air Force culture evolved to own the skies and is now best postured to lead space into this information age and prepare our people and systems to achieve space superiority so the warfighter has what’s required to win.” The deputy chief of staff for space operations will be the advocate for space operations and requirements to meet the demands of a warfighting domain, according to Air Force officials. The directorate will also consolidate space functions from multiple parts of the Air Staff.

Air Force Secretary as Principal Defense Advisor on Space Reaffirmed On June 9, Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work reaffirmed the Secretary of the Air Force will continue to be the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense on space over the next year, giving Air Force and DoD leadership time to

revalidate the current approach. As the principal advisor, the Secretary of the Air Force has responsibilities to guide and advocate for space related programs across all services and defense agencies. “While we are integrating and normalizing space on the

Air Staff, we are also strengthening the integrated service staff supporting the Principal DoD Space Advisor role so that major issues are addressed, operations and acquisition is streamlined and every service is heard when it comes to space,” said Wilson.

New reports confirm near-perfect performance record for civil GPS service LOS ANGELES AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — The U.S. Air Force released two technical reports demonstrating that the Global Positioning System continues to deliver exceptional performance to civilian users around the world. GPS is a U.S. Air Force satellite system that provides highly dependable positioning, navigation and timing services to military and civilian users around the world, free of direct user charges. Operated by the 50th Space Wing at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, the GPS constellation provides precise PNT services worldwide 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The 2014 and 2015 performance reports confirm that the GPS Standard Positioning Service satisfied nearly all measurable performance commitments documented in the GPS SPS Performance Standard, furthering the status of GPS as the “Gold Standard” for PNT. The GPS Directorate at the U.S. Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center commissioned the GPS SPS performance reports to enhance public transparency of the realworld performance of civil GPS. The reports confirm that GPS met all of the evaluated commitments for calendar years 2014 and 2015 with one exception. This exception was that the reporting notification commitment for scheduled GPS satellite interruptions during calendar year 2014 was only met in 29 of 30 cases (96.7%). The vast majority of GPS users were not impacted by this single delayed notification. In this single case, the U.S. Air Force only provided 17 hours of advanced notice, as opposed to the SPS PS commitment of at least 48 hours advanced notice, before the scheduled satellite interruption. The commitments evaluated in the reports include those of accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability of the GPS signalsin-space. For example, the signal-in-space ranging accuracy of the GPS civil signals

was significantly better than the published standard of “7.8 meters or better at the 95th percentile.” This metric represents a key component in the total “user range error” that GPS receivers experience. Most impressively, the oldest GPS satellites still provided an average signal-in-space accuracy of 2.8 meters during their worst performing month of 2015 — surpassing the target accuracy metric by over 300 percent.

On average, the signal-in-space accuracy of the GPS constellation in 2015 was 1.4 meters, which is a 0.4 meter improvement over the accuracy in 2013. The GPS SPS performance reports are generated by Applied Research Laboratories, the University of Texas at Austin, which is a Department of Defense University-Affiliated Research Center. Using data from 33 GPS monitoring and reference stations located

For ON BASE EMERGENCIES When Not At A Work Station

around the globe, the ARL:UT team assesses GPS performance against the commitments defined in the 2008 GPS SPS Performance Standard (published at http://www.gps.gov/ technical/ps/). The ARL:UT reports focus on those commitments that can be verified by anyone with knowledge of standard GPS data analysis practices, familiarity with the relevant signal specifications and access to a Global Navigation Satellite System data archive. “The GPS Directorate remains committed to providing highly accurate and reliable PNT services to our users around the globe. The use of published standards to transparently guide data-driven decision making is how we have become the ‘Gold Standard’ in PNT,” said Col. Steven Whitney, Director of the GPS Directorate. “The GPS Directorate is working every day on improved capabilities to ensure users receive the maximum benefit of the PNT services offered by GPS.” ARL-UT expects to complete the 2016 SPS performance report later this year. The 2013, 2014, and 2015 reports are publicly available for free download at http://www.gps.gov/ systems/gps/performance/. The National Coordination Office for Space-Based PNT maintains the GPS.gov website to provide official information about GPS to the public. Air Force Space Command’s Space and Missile Systems Center, located at Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo, California, is the U.S. Air Force’s center of excellence for acquiring and developing military space systems. Its portfolio includes GPS, military satellite communications, defense meteorological satellites, space launch and range systems, satellite control networks, space-based infrared systems and space situational awareness capabilities.

50th Civil Engineer Squadron members and 446th Civil Engineer Squadron reservists from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, use roofing foam to seal roof leaks at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Thursday, June 15, 2017. The 446 CES reservists will be at Schriever until the end of the month to work alongside the 50 CES.

Engineers From page 1 our guys are also getting great experience being in this environment. As a reservist, the majority of the time, we do computer-based training during our drill weekends; being here is different. It’s always rewarding to do what we have been trained to do.” For the newer members of the 446 CES, this has been an opportunity to become more proficient in their job and comply with the Status of Resources and Training System. “This is my first annual tour,” said Airman Travis Yager, 446th Civil

Engineer Squadron. “I’m picking up on a lot. I have exchanged air filters, maintained motors in the air conditioning units and assisted in installing a steam-to-steam boiler. Working with the 50 CES has been a fantastic experience and we are glad to be here helping them.” In total, the reservists will have completed 1,144 hours of labor and $484,000 worth of projects. “The 446 CES members bring a wealth of knowledge from the civilian sector, as well as the skills we are looking for,” DeRosa said. “To have them integrate with our squadron and give us perspective on things we may not be up to speed on, is always a plus. This is a win-win for both sides.”

Wilson discusses importance of communities at Defense Communities Summit Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson spoke about the important role communities play in supporting the Air Force mission at the 2017 Defense Communities National Summit June 19 in Washington, D.C. Wilson emphasized how vital community partnerships are to the Air Force and outlined the symbiotic relationship military bases have with the communities outside their gates. “You’re here because you support the military,” she said. “By working together we realize a stronger national defense, cost savings for taxpayers, and a better quality of life for Airmen and their families.”

The community’s role in retention, readiness

The biggest thing Wilson said communities can do to support Airmen is ensure quality education for their dependents. As an example, Wilson spoke about the efforts occurring at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina. The base is working with five schools, using grants and donations, to expand educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Due to those efforts, one South Carolina high school saw a 157 percent increase in the number of students achieving a qualifying score on a math or science advanced placement exam. Wilson said medical care, jobs for spouses, housing options and overall quality of life also play a significant role in helping the Air Force retain Airmen. “When Airmen can focus on the mission and have peace of mind their family is taken care of, it improves readiness and it helps retention,” she said.

Supporting the mission

The service understands the unique challenges it brings to communities, especially as it relates to flying missions, according to Wilson. She said she appreciates the overwhelm-

ing support for the Air Force mission that communities near military installations provide and recognizes the many considerations that go into community planning by local leaders and citizens. “We notice when communities stand up for us, especially when it’s hard to do,” Wilson said. “In order to train our Airmen to ensure they’re combat ready, we need your continued support.”

In areas such as infrastructure, she said the Air Force can partner with communities to help reduce costs for both parties by designing joint training opportunities for first responders, and combining efforts to support community care programs. “By working together our families, our communities, our military services, and our nation are all made stronger,” Wilson said.

By Staff Sgt. Marcy Copeland 56th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. — Airmen from seven bases across the country partnered with Luke Air Force Base civil engineers to accomplish the annual Bird/ Wildlife Air Strike Hazard mission, which began in March and is expected to be completed in June. Known as BASH, the program exists to deter wildlife from nesting in areas where they can pose a threat to the flying mission. This year’s project focused on the removal of mud, water and vegetative growth around the perimeter of the base. “Due to the large scale of the project, we came here to support the 56th Civil Engineer Squadron,” said Staff Sgt. Darrell Osborne, 60th Civil Engineer Squadron construction and pavement journeyman. “Working as one team,

The project consisted of the removal of stagnant water, vegetation, mud and debris to discourage the wildlife from nesting around Luke, protecting its assets and the local wildlife.

we get the opportunity to train and work together with Luke on this project to make the airfields safe.” Airmen from Ellsworth AFB, Fairchild AFB, Malmstrom AFB, Travis AFB, Schriever AFB, Joint Base Andrews and Grand Forks AFB traveled to Luke to assist the 56 CES with the project. “This is a great opportunity for Airmen from civil engineer squadrons across the country to come and diversify their knowledge,” said Master Sgt. Michael McMurray, 341th Civil Engineer Squadron heavy repair superintendent. “They are involved in a project that provides them training on things they will not get to experience at their bases.” The project began with placing bird netting to prevent nesting. The next step was to spray and remove the vegetation in the culverts to deter wildlife thus preventing birds from hunting or trying to nest.

“We are eliminating the habitats for all of the birds surrounding the airfield.” McMurray said. “It’s a big safety concern and we want to protect our fighters as well as the wildlife.” More than 1,000 tons of vegetation and debris has been removed during the project with a long term effort underway to complete an underground system to convey irrigation. “Due to the current manning and increased volume of work requests on base in the pavement and construction equipment shop, we needed help to tackle this high priority job,” said Master Sgt. Junior Bablington, 56 CES superintendent of heavy repair. “These Airmen were able to assist and received an opportunity to train on heavy equipment. Really, when it comes down to it, it’s Airmen helping Airmen.”
