The “Bloody 25th’s” centennial celebration By 2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
“What an alignment of planets, stars, you-name-it, for you to be celebrating this one-hundredth,” said Brig. Gen. John Shaw, Air Force Space Command director of Strategic Plans, Programs, Requirements and Analysis. “There is no other squadron in all of space command that can trace their history like the 25th,” he continued. “None. It goes back to the dawn of airpower.” The 25th Space Range Squadron traces its history back to World War I; under its first name, the 20th Aero Squadron, which was activated June 13, 1917. Fast-forward to June 21, 2017, the “Bloody 25th” and their band of new and old “Executioners,” as they fondly call themselves, celebrated their 100th birthday; bringing the past and present together for a night to remember. The night began with a clamorous social hour, where reviewed 100 years of artifactsmost of them collected only within the last year-for not only the centennial celebration, but for future “Executioners” as well. “We always knew we were a 100-year squadron, but the stories, and the people before us, weren’t captured yet,” said Tech. Sgt. Ryan Herter, 25 SRS operations flight See Celebration page 16

Information technology is like the weather here in Colorado; if you don’t like it, just wait five minutes. In fact, IT isn’t just constantly changing, CSMNG CSMNGit is accelerating. This acceleration produced smart phones, portable personal computers and internet technology, all of which are now integral to our daily lives. The Air Force IT landscape is changing as well. Although this change can be difficult to cope with (e.g. the migration to the Air Force Network), the end result will justify the transition. During the next couple of years, users will see stark changes to their IT experience. If you’re tired of seeing the message “your mailbox is full” when you attempt to send or receive mail, you’re in luck. The Air Force is moving to Office 365, allowing traditional users to go from 90-megabyte email size to a 50-gigabyte inbox with an additional 100-gigabyte of online archives — that’s an increase of over 55,500 percent in email size alone.

Schriever Airmen engage in combat dining out
U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class William Tracy
The 50th Space Wing’s combat dining out advances the 50 SW priority of investing in a culture of exceptional service and community for Team Schriever and their families by providing an outlet for Airmen from different squadrons to intermingle and enjoy an evening playing games.
By Airman 1st Class William Tracy 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Team Schriever members donned their best space-themed attire for food, drinks and games at the 50th Space Wing’s combat dining out June 23. Airmen represented their squadrons during competitive events such as tug-of-war and tire obstacle courses as base leadership determined the winners, with the 50th Mission Support Group ultimately coming out on top. “The event was a lot of fun,” said Airman 1st Class Nathan Saelens, 50th Comptroller Squadron financial management flight services. “It was really cool to see everyone relaxing, having a good time.”
The 50 CPTS was part of the assembly of squadrons participating in the large-scale water gun and balloon fights that sporadically broke out during the course of the evening. “We made a great war team,” Saelens said. “50 CPTS for the win.” Airmen used a variety of water propelling weapons ranging from three barreled and minigun shaped water guns to buckets of water and hoses to soak each other throughout the event — despite the fifty degree weather. “Even though it was colder out than expected, everyone still participated in the water gun fights and water balloon throwing,” said 1st.

Air Force leaders continue to emphasize air and space priorities on Capitol Hill On June 16, 2017, Wilson announced the establishment of the new headquarters space directorate. This directorate will be led by the deputy chief of staff for space operations, who will be the advocate for space operations and requirements to meet the demands of a warfighting domain. “We’ve provided GPS for the world. We’ve transformed not only the way we fight but the way all of you probably navigate around the city,” Wilson added. “We must expect that war, of any kind, will extend into space in any future conflict, and we have to change the way we think and prepare for that eventuality.”
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein briefed congressional leaders on the Senate’s Defense Appropriations Committee on the future of air and space power during testimony on Capitol Hill June 21. The leaders highlighted that efforts to restore readiness and increase the lethality of the force were foremost in their minds. Wilson said any objective evaluation of today’s Air Force reached two conclusions: The Air Force is too small for what the nation expects of it and adversaries are modernizing and innovating faster — putting Americans’ technological advantage at risk. “The fiscal year 2017 budget began to arrest the decline, and restore the readiness of the force, so this fiscal 2018 budget starts us, I hope, on the road to recovery,” she said.
Air Force in demand
Looking forward, Wilson and Goldfein do not envision the demand for air and space power diminishing in the coming decade. Today, the Air Force is manned with 660,000 active, Guard, Reserve and civilian Airmen, a 30 percent decline since Operation Desert Storm 26 years ago. “If I’d been talking to the Air Force in 1991, I’d [have] been looking at an Air Force of over 8,600 aircraft, 134 fighter squadrons from which we deployed 34,” Goldfein said. “Today, the grand total of your United States Air Force, active, Guard, Reserve, is 55 squadrons total. This is a much smaller force that’s engaged in the same level of activity as we were in 1991.” The Air Force leaders said while the fiscal 2018 budget request focuses on restoring readiness and increasing lethality, future budgets must focus on modernization and continued readiness recovery.
Restoring readiness
The two testified that maintaining superiority starts with people. “For Airmen, it’s nothing short of a moral obligation to ensure that we establish air superiority quickly whenever and wherever it’s required,” Goldfein said. The fiscal 2018 budget will bring the active

Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein testify before the Senate Appropriations Committee for Defense June 21, 2017, in Washington, D.C. The subcommittee hearing was held to discuss the fiscal year 2018 budget request for the Air Force.
duty force from 321,000 to 325,100 while also adding 800 Reservists, 600 Guardsmen, and 3,000 civilians, bringing the total force to approximately 669,000. The increased manpower will focus primarily on increasing remotely piloted aircraft crews, maintainers and pilot training capacity by adding two additional F-16 training squadrons and maximizing flying hours to the highest executable levels. Wilson said next to people, the most obvious readiness need is munitions. In the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the Air Force has delivered approximately 56,000 direct-attack munitions, more than it used in all of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The fiscal 2018 budget funds maximum factory production of the most critical munitions.
Modernization
The fiscal 2018 budget focuses on the Air Force’s top three modernization programs: • Purchasing 46 F-35A Lightning II fighters and modernizing other fighters; • Buying 15 KC-46 Pegasus tankers; • Funding the B-21 Raider bomber development The proposed budget also supports the continuation and modernization of the nuclear triad with funds dedicated to both air- and ground-based capabilities. Our nuclear enterprise is getting old and we must begin modernizing now to ensure

a credible deterrent, Wilson said. “Standing side-by-side with the United States Navy, we’re responsible for two of the three legs of the nuclear triad,” Goldfein said. “On our worst day as a nation, our job is to make sure that we have the commander in chief where he needs to be, when he needs to be there, and through nuclear command and control — which we’re responsible for — that he stays connected to a ready force to be able to defend this nation and deter adversaries as we also assure our partners.”
Space
The Air Force has been the leading military service responsible since 1954. Over the last several years, the service has been developing concepts for space control, changing the way it trains its space force and integrating space operations into the joint fight. “This budget proposal has a 20 percent increase for space, that means situational awareness — the ability to not just catalog what’s up there, which we would do in a benign environment, but to have a nearreal-time understanding of what is going on in space, who is moving and where they’re moving to,” said Wilson. The proposed budget increases space funding, including a 27 percent increase in research, development, testing and evaluation for space systems, and a 12 percent increase for space procurement.
Research, development, testing and evaluation are critically important for the Air Force, Wilson and Goldfein said. To prevail against rapidly innovating adversaries, the Air Force must accelerate procurement. The service will take advantage of authorities provided in the fiscal 2017 Defense Authorization Act to help field operational capabilities faster than ever before, Wilson said. The request for funding for long-term research in air dominance increased significantly in the fiscal 2018 budget. The Air Force will seek to increase basic and applied research in areas where it must maintain the competitive advantage over adversaries. This includes hypersonic vehicles, directedenergy, unmanned and autonomous systems and nanotechnology.
Budget stability
It’s going to take approximately eight years to be able to get to full spectrum readiness with stable budgets, Goldfein said. The Air Force will be unable to execute the defense strategic guidance under sequester. If the Budget Control Act limit is not fixed and we have to go through sequester, that will be equivalent to a $15 billion cut, Wilson said. The Air Force is too small for what the nation expects of us now; sequestration would make the situation worse, she said. According to Wilson and Goldfein, by supporting the budget request, Congress can provide fiscal predictability to the Air Force so it can continue to own the high ground, defend the homeland and project power in conjunction with allies.

Grills can burn more than just hot dogs 50th Civil Engineer Squadron Fire Prevention Division Three out of five households own a gas grill, which translates to a lot of tasty meals, but it also means there’s an increased risk of home fires. Each year, an average of 8,900 home fires are caused by grilling and close to half of all injuries involving grills are due to thermal burns. While nearly half of the people who grill do it year-round, July is the peak month for grill fires followed by May, June and August.
Alarming statistics: • In 2014, 16,600 patients went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills. • July is the peak month for grill fires, including both structure, outdoor or unclassified fires. • A leading factor contributing to the fire in one/fifth of all grill structure fires was a failure to clean the grill. • Also, regarding grill structure fires, in 17 percent of cases, something that could catch fire was too close to the grill. • Leaks or breaks were the factor in 11 percent of grill structure fires and 23 percent of outside and unclassified grill fires. • Gas grills contribute to a higher number of home fires overall than their charcoal counterparts.
General grilling safety tips: Fire in the grill, under hot dogs and burgers, is a welcome sight at the family cookout, but fire anywhere else can make your summer kick-off barbecue memorable for all the wrong reasons. To keep you and your family safe while grilling, follow these general guidelines: • Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors. • The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. • Keep children and pets away from the grill area. • Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. • Never leave your grill unattended.
Gas grill safety tips: • Check the major connection points between the gas tank

hose, regulator and cylinder, and where the hose connects to the burners. Tighten if loose. • Check the gas tank hose for potential leaks by applying a light soap and water solution to the hose using a brush or spray bottle. • Turn the propane tank on. If there is a gas leak, the propane will release bubbles around the hose. If there are bubbles, turn off the tank and check connections, then have your grill serviced by a professional before using it again. • When the grill is on, if you smell gas, turn off the gas tank and burners. • If the leak stops immediately, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. • If the leak doesn’t stop, call the fire department immediately.
• If the smell continues, move away from the grill and call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not move the grill.
Charcoal grill safety tips: • There are several ways to get charcoal ready to use. Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start the charcoal using newspaper as fuel. • If you use a starter fluid, only use charcoal lighter fluid. Never add lighter fluid or other flammable liquids to the fire. • Keep lighter fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources. • For electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire, be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use. • When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container.

PTSD treatment confronts the trauma behind the disorder By Peter Holstein Surgeon General Office of Public Affairs
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Post-traumatic stress disorder is considered one of the “signature wounds” of the current conflicts in the Middle East. But many people may not know that there are highly effective treatments for this invisible wound being deployed at Air Force hospitals and clinics today. It’s normal to feel stressed and anxious after a traumatic event. For patients with PTSD, those feelings don’t go away with time. PTSD can leave its sufferers feeling anxious, exhausted and depressed. They often relive the traumatic event over and over in their mind, and respond by avoiding situations that remind them of the traumatic event, shutting off emotional responses, and by feeling constantly “on edge” or tense, with exaggerated angry outbursts. Scientifically researched and proven methods for treating PTSD work by getting the patient to confront and learn to process the trauma causing their symptoms. The process can start by talking with anyone, like a health care provider, chaplain or even just a friend. “Ultimately, people with PTSD need to speak with a mental health provider,” said Maj. Joel Foster, the chief of Deployment Mental Health in the Air Force Medical Service, and a licensed psychologist. “We use very specific treatments that have been subjected to scientific scrutiny and research investigation, and we want people with PTSD to get those treatments.” All Air Force mental health providers are trained in evidence-based techniques to treat PTSD. One such technique is called Prolonged Exposure therapy. PE therapy is a protocol based treatment, meaning the provider works through a structured and scripted process with the patient. There are usually eight to twelve sessions, lasting 60 to 90 minutes each. During the therapy sessions, the provider guides the patient through two techniques that help them learn to process their trauma — imaginal exposure and in-vivo exposure. “In imaginal exposure, we expose the patient to thoughts, memories and associations that are linked to the trauma,” said Foster. “They talk in detail about the traumatic event, and we record the discussion. They go from the start to the finish of their traumatic event, and between sessions, they listen to the recording. As the title “prolonged exposure” suggests, we do this over and over for several weeks.” This is intended to habituate the patient to talking and hearing about the traumatic event. Whereas the event was

once a source of anxiety and distress, the brain learns to remember it without those severe feelings. The memory is never pleasant, but it is no longer disabling. “Imaginal exposure works the same way we get used to other things in life,” said Foster. “If you live near the subway or an airport, you may not sleep much the first couple of nights. Eventually though, you do get used to it, and you’ll be able to sleep right through it.” In-vivo exposure does the same thing, but in real life. The patient and the provider make a list of situations, locations and other stimuli that remind the patient of the traumatic event, and rank them based on the level of distress. Working together, they come up with a plan for the patient to go to those places and gradually get used the situations. “These ‘homework assignments’ ramp up,” said Foster. “It might start out as going to the grocery store during low hours for 30 minutes, and you do it over and over, until you are gradually spending an hour during busy times.”
This treatment basically floods the patient with sensations and experiences that are distressing to them, and builds up their tolerance. While it may initially be an unpleasant experience for some patients, Foster says the results speak for themselves. “It’s a really hard thing to do, since PTSD patients really don’t want to think about things that remind them of their trauma,” said Foster. “But it works. More than 20 years of research and testing have gone into this treatment. We see about an 80 percent reduction in symptoms using this technique, and many service members are able to return to active duty after treatment. “I actually love treating PTSD patients now,” said Foster. “It’s rewarding to see the progress that Airmen make once they get into treatment. We can make a very real positive impact in their lives, and send them back to their families and their duties able to resume their lives.”

AF releases criteria for new valor “V”, combat “C” and remote “R” devices Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs WASHINGTON — Air Force officials released criteria for the new “V”, “C” and “R” devices, following the secretary of Defense’s Jan. 7, 2016, authorization. Following a comprehensive Military Decorations and Awards Review in 2015, the secretary of Defense implemented several changes to ensure the Defense Department’s military decoration and awards program continues to appropriately recognize the service, sacrifices and actions of service members. “As the impact of remote operations on combat continues to increase, the necessity of ensuring those actions are distinctly recognized grows,” DoD officials explained in a memo released Jan. 7, 2016. The “R” device, which may be affixed to non-combat performance awards, was established to distinguish that an award was earned for direct hands-on employment of a weapon system that had a direct and immediate impact on a combat or military operation. These actions can be performed in any domain but must not expose the individual to personal hostile action, or place him or her at significant risk of exposure to hostile action while engaged in military operations

“These members create direct combat effects that lead to strategic outcomes and deliver lethal force, while physically located outside the combat area.” The standardization of the “V” device as a valor-only device will ensure unambiguous and distinctive recognition of distinguished acts of combat heroism. The new “C” device was created to distinctly recognize those service members performing meritoriously under the most difficult combat conditions. To further emphasize the value placed on meritorious service under combat conditions, the “C” device may be affixed to several performance awards earned while serving under combat conditions. Unlike the “R” device, the “C” device may be authorized for sustained performance or service, provided the criteria of personal exposure to hostile action or significant risk of hostile action are met. All devices may be awarded retroactive to Jan. 7, 2016, the day the secretary of Defense established the devices.

Vice President From page 1 Upon his arrival at Schriever, Pence met with base leadership for a discussion on the importance of space and how it has become a warfighting domain. He then met with more than 120 service members at the Satellite Dish, the base’s dining facility. “You direct no fewer than 175 American satellites that are crucial to our national security every day — in weather, communications, and early warning of foreign missile tests. Every American benefits from your efforts here — the world’s only global utility, the GPS system that’s essential to our daily life,” Pence said. “I can assure you that you have the support of your Commander-inChief and of his number two and of our entire administration. You have the support of the Congress of the United States and the support of the American people that they represent.” In addition to relaying his support for service members here and across the nation in the all-volunteer armed forces, the vice president also discussed some recent newsworthy items, such as the recently confirmed promotion of Col. DeAnna Burt, 50 SW commander, to brigadier general and the relaunch of the National Space Council. “I’m pleased to report that nearly two decades after it was disbanded, in just a few short weeks the president will soon relaunch
the National Space Council, and it will be my great honor as vice president of the United States to serve as its chairman, which has been a historic role for this office,” Pence said. After explaining his soon-to-be ties with space Pence also highlighted the president’s proposed investment in the military, and specifically AFSPC. “In his first budget the Congress will take up this fall, the president called for the biggest increase in military spending since the days of Ronald Reagan — including a nearly 20 percent increase in the Air Force space budget. We’re going to fight to lead in space and we’re going to put the resources of the United States of America behind you,” Pence said. Other important announcements to the military member present included President Donald Trump’s signing of the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, which will incentivize VA employees to provide America’s veterans with the care they deserve and hold these employees accountable when they fall short of their responsibilities. “I came today to say thank you. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your service that creates our freedom at home and our security around the world,” Pence said. “I look out around this room I have faith. I have faith that in the days ahead we will keep America safe. That we’ll make it possible for America to prosper.” Pence’s visit started at Peterson AFB, and to continue his space mission focus, visited Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station.

Celebration From page 1 chief and lead 25 SRS historian. “So this forced us to gain a better understanding of our past and build that up for the people coming after us.” Another way the squadron tied itself closely to its past was through the invitation of their two distinguished guests, one of them being Shaw, the 25 SRS previous director of operations, as well as retired Col. Mason Beckett, Jr., former 25th commander during its time as the 25th Strategic Training Squadron. “I am impressed with the detective prowess of the 25th,” laughed Beckett. “When I retired, I thought I was in an airtight witness protection program.” Jokes aside, Beckett provided a detailed recollection of life with the 25 STS, their challenges, their successes and their ties with the present-day squadron. “It was a new squadron,” Beckett said. “It was a busy time, it was a very interesting and exciting time. I once talked with an individual who said he would love to have the opportunity to stand up a new unit in the Air Force. “He was fortunate enough to be able to do that, and afterwards he was overheard saying he would never do that again,” he continued. “I would imagine the people who stood up the 25 SRS might share the same sentiment.” Reestablished as a space squadron in 2004, after years of inactivation, SRS members confirmed the truth to Beckett’s words. However, the “Executioners” take their heritage and their new mission seriously; reciting their 100-years worth of namesakes and mission objectives during their banquet, and wrapping it all up with a description of their present day goals. “We’re going to need the 25th to be the place where we can get to the next level of tactics, development and expertise for war that extends to space,” Shaw said. “You guys are going to make this happen in the same way the 25th and its many incarnations over 100 years have been doing.” All leadership, past and present, made a point of highlighting the efforts dedicated to ensuring the success of the banquet and the squadron. Ensuring the squadron knew their efforts and their legacy would not be fruitless or forgotten. “I was glad to see the 25th was still in existence,” Beckett said. “It didn’t matter what the mission was, I knew it was probably an important one.”
