Space support key to war fightersSenior Master Sgt. Bob BlauserU.S. Central Command Air Forces
Forward Public Affairs
SOUTHWEST ASIA — Supporting warfighters on the ground is the overarching mis-sion of everyone deployed to the U.S. CentralCommand area of responsibility. Carrying outthis earthly mission from thousands of milesabove the ground, though, is a responsibilitycoordinated by the Combined Air OperationsCenter here.
“We’re focused on providing space supportto any operation throughout the theater,” saidCol. John Hyten, director of space forces forthe CAOC. “We have deployed Soldiers,Sailors, Airmen and Marines with spaceexpertise to ensure that the power of space isbrought to bear in line with the timing andtempo required by commanders in the field.”
Space support requests—categorized ascommunications and weather, space protec-tion, precision navigation and timing, andoverhead non-imaging infrared—are similarto air support requests, the colonel said. Withair support requests, specific airborne effectsare requested such as close-air support. WithSSRs, a space effect is requested instead.
When commanders in the field need spacesupport that is not already being provided,they submit an SSR to the CAOC, which issupported by a small theater integration cell.
“This cell coordinates with deployed spacetroops and experts back in the United States toensure the right capabilities are available tosupport the fight,” Colonel Hyten said.
As an example, a recent SSR was generat-ed to have the Joint Space Operations Centerat Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., immedi-ately notify field forces in Southwest Asia ofchanges to the Global Positioning Systemsatellite constellation. During June, this SSRproduced three urgent electronic messagesfollowing GPS satellite anomalies. Becauseforces rely on GPS to send munitions directlyto targets, these adjustments prevented bombsfrom missing the targets in response actions toterrorist attacks and prevented collateral dam-age.
The effects created with SSRs are focusedon delivering specific capabilities from spaceto fielded forces engaged in operations in Iraqand Afghanistan, according to Maj. MarkGuerber, chief of the combat operations spacecell.
“We may not provide the whole effect,” the
major said, “but in terms of a GPS-aidedmunition, we provided the precision thatallowed us to destroy the target; therefore, wecontributed to the overall effect of precisionstrike.”
Colonel Hyten stressed that space’s role isnot merely focused on integrating air andspace, but rather integrating space with anyair, ground or maritime operation in any the-ater.
“There’s not a military operation that takesplace in the world today where space is notfully integrated,” Colonel Hyten said. “Manymilitary members don’t even realize it. Allthey know is that, ‘This machine I have in myhands tells me where I am, and this machinelets me communicate when I need to.’All theyneed to know is that it works, but it’s space’sjob to make sure it works.
“Space power can make a difference in thesuccess or failure of nearly every militaryoperation in Iraq and Afghanistan today,”Colonel Hyten said. “Our forces today navi-gate with space support, communicatethrough satellites in space and characterize thebattlefield with overhead assets, to name afew. We’re glad to be able to share our contri-butions.”
Children and their parents will be able to enjoy the Colorado sunshine at the Schriever Base Picnic Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eventswill include a car show, Air Force Academy Falconers, Wings of Blue parachute team, Chiefs against the Eagles softball game, free lunch,music, vendors and much more.

Dangers around your house don’talways flash warning signs. Some ofthe biggest dangers come in creepy,crawly and camouflaged packages.
Brown recluse spiders, while notquite as dangerous as the infamousblack widow, can threaten life orlimb if their bites are left untreated.Brown recluses live in areas that arenormally undisturbed, such as darkspaces, wood piles and dark areas inattics and sheds.
The brown recluse’s bite is non-healing and kills tissue around thebitten area. The actual bite causes lit-tle pain, if any.
A few hours later, the bite victimstarts to develop symptoms that getprogressively worse.
Within a few days, the bite areaenlarges and kills tissue in a widearea around it.
There is no anti-venom for abrown recluse’s bite: the wound mustbe soaked in antiseptic and possiblyantibiotics.
The bite victim may require sur-gery to cut out the dead tissue,depending on how far the bite hasprogressed.
The good news is that brownrecluse spiders are not aggressive,said Dr. Bob Sargent, naturalresources manager at Robins AirForce Base, Ga.
“When daylight comes ... theymay take refuge in a pile of clotheson the floor. When someone goes toput the clothes on and their skincomes in contact with the spider,they get bitten,” Dr. Sargent said.“They don’t actively seek out peopleto bite.”
Prairie rattlesnakes are also non-
aggressive—and also poisonous.They have brownish or greenish-brown scales and range in lengthfrom three to five feet. The snakesinhabit fields, pine habitats andsandy areas, and they are active atnight on or near paved roads. Theyprey mostly on prairie dogs andother small rodents.
Some prairie rattlers have beenspotted on Peterson AFB, as a phototaken June 27 by Tech. Sgt. StephenBurroughs, 21st Civil EngineerSquadron, illustrates.
A venomous snake’s bite isextremely painful and swells rapidly.Symptoms of snakebites may includeskin discoloration, weakness, sweat-ing, faintness, nausea and tingling ornumbness in the tongue, mouth orscalp. Bite victims should be takento the hospital as soon as possible.
The Air Force Center forEnvironmental Excellence at BrooksCity-Base, Texas, recommendsagainst applying tourniquets orsnakebite kits. Instead, anyone apply-ing first aid to a snakebite should
immobilize the bitten area and keepit at or below heart level to slow thespread of poison through the victim’sbody.
Situational awareness is the firstand most important element to pre-vent being bitten in the first place,said Master Sgt. Michael Elliot, aSurvival, Evasion, Resistance,Escape specialist for the 27th FighterWing at Cannon AFB, N.M.
“You need to know what’s outthere that can hurt somebody, regard-less of the environment,” SergeantElliot said.
Be alert for snakes or otherwildlife when you spend time hiking,gardening or doing other outdooractivities in habitats a prairie rattleror brown recluse might call home.Look carefully before you reach intodark areas, brush or other piles ofmaterial that haven’t been moved fora while, as a brown recluse may havemoved in and made these areas itshome.
Parents should make sure theirchildren are aware of how to beaware as well.
“For a child, (poisonous bites) aremore life-threatening,” SergeantElliot said.
Children are a concern becausechildren are smaller and thereforemore vulnerable to the effects of apoison—a bite that sickens an adultmight kill a child.
Finally, don’t panic. Animals suchas the prairie rattler and brownrecluse bite not because they are nat-urally vicious but because they areafraid. By staying calm and givingthem space, you can avoid a trip tothe hospital.
For more information about theseor other potentially hazardous creepycrawlers, contact Melissa Trenchik,50th CES Environmental Flight, at567-3360.

New director of staff aims to shape future of 50th SWStaff Sgt. Don Branum
50th Space Wing Public Affairs
In previous jobs, the new 50th SpaceWing director of staff helped set the dailyagendas for the secretary of the Air Forceand the chief of staff and worked undernow-retired Gen. Lance Lord to set thefuture direction of Air Force SpaceCommand.
Jeffery Hunt now brings his expertiseand experience here to help the wing real-ize its leaders’ vision.
“We were interested in (hiring) a personwho understood and had experience in ourmissions at the 50th SW—experiences insatellite command and control, test, AirForce Satellite Control Network, headquar-ters and personnel,” said Col. Cal Hutto,50th SW commander. “Mr. Hunt is well-versed in all these areas.”
The retired lieutenant colonel has beenin the space career field for much of hiscareer. He joined the Air Force in 1983 aspart of the Air Force Reserve OfficerTraining Program after he graduated fromNew Mexico State University. He attendedtechnical training at Vandenberg Air ForceBase, Calif., to become an ICBM “crewdog.”
After six years at Malmstrom AFB,Mont.—four of which he spent on crew—he returned to Vandenberg AFB to join theTOP HAND program, which conductsoperational testing and evaluation of theICBM force. That’s where he first metColonel Hutto.
“Our paths have crossed off and on sincethen,” Mr. Hunt said.
After four years in TOP HAND, Mr.Hunt moved to AFSPC at Peterson AFB,
where he participated in the command’sfirst weapons school class and worked asexecutive officer in AFSPC Plans andPrograms under General Lord.
“What a pleasure it was to work with avisionary like General Lord,” Mr. Huntsaid. “For someone of that stature to edu-cate and counsel me—to be part of his teamand the direction he took preparing for thefuture of AFSPC was a complete honor. Hetaught me a lot.”
He took that knowledge and experiencewith him when he moved to the Pentagon,in Arlington, Va. There, he served as a cur-rent operations briefer to the secretary ofthe Air Force and the chief of staff.
“That was probably the most education-
al, most interesting job I ever had,” he said.“I had to watch, learn about and gather dataon Air Force issues on a daily basis, and Ihad 15 minutes to tell the chief what’sgoing on. What he got from us would oftentimes set the day’s agenda for him withCongress, the joint chiefs and the majorcommands.
“Being a space officer and seeing howthings move and how the Air Force operatesis impressive,” he added.
He became part of the 50th SW familyin 2000 when he assumed command of the23rd Space Operations Squadron at NewBoston Air Force Station, N.H. His lastassignment as deputy commander of the595th Space Group brought him back to
Colorado Springs, where he recentlyretired.
As a civilian and retired officer, Mr.Hunt offered his perspective on the roles ofmilitary and civilian personnel.
“I have a deep appreciation for civil-ians—both Department of Defenseemployees and contractors,” he said. “As anofficer, I counted on civilians to be as mucha part of the team as anybody. Civilianshave as much passion to do things for theircountry as someone in uniform.”
A civilian director of staff will providemore continuity for future commanders aswell. That is especially important becauseof the future role for the director of staff,Colonel Hutto said.
“The director of staff position should beand will be more than a suspense master,”the colonel said. “Mr. Hunt will be moreinvolved in the missions of the wing andwill be an active, engaged participant inaddressing the challenges facing the wingtoday and in the future.”
“The intent of the DS position ... is morein line of helping the leaders in determiningthe direction of the wing in the future:Where can we do better with less?” Mr.Hunt explained. “It means becoming moreinvolved with day-to-day operations—watching, listening and gathering informa-tion, then offering input on how to makeSchriever a better place to work.
“We need to have one voice coming outof the wing,” he continued. “That’s whatthis position has done and will continue todo. We have to continually look at andrevisit—especially in the tight constraintswe have—how do we take what we’ve beengiven, get the mission done and still takecare of our people?”
Jeffery Hunt, a retired lieutenant colonel, recently assumed the director of staff position forthe 50th Space Wing here. He has worked with various Air Force leaders during his mili-tary career, including the secretary of the Air Force, the chief of staff and retired Gen. LanceLord, who was director of Air Force Space Command Plans and Programs at the time.

4th SOPS Airmen sharedeployment experiences
Staff Sgt. Don Branum50th Space Wing
Public Affairs
Don’t expect a smooth ride on a C-130 Hercules, and be prepared to putyour best foot forward when you land.
That was some of the advice andexperience Airmen with the 4th SpaceOperations Squadron here sharedupon returning from their deploy-ments.
Master Sgt. John Jenkins, 4thSOPS, deployed to Forward OperatingBase Mehtar Lam, Afghanistan, tohelp rebuild war-torn areas surround-ing the base.
The commander expected each ser-vicemember of the joint-force team tooperate with the pride and profession-alism of their rank, Sergeant Jenkinssaid.
“I felt the unity of purpose immedi-ately as officers briefed each mission,”he said.
Sergeant Jenkins credited his com-mander with ensuring 100-percentmission accomplishment with limitedresources through “calm and coolleadership.”
“Leading by example, he got themost out of each individual,” SergeantJenkins said. “Every situation thatoccurred, from inception to comple-tion, was marked by a level of profes-sionalism I had never witnessed beforein a joint environment. My goal is toincorporate the level of leadership,
commitment and professionalism (Iexperienced) to my current job in 4thSOPS.”
Staff Sgt. Jerami Mahaffey, 4thSOPS, deployed to Iraq as a radiooperator. In that role, he maintainedsatellite communication and line-of-sight radio channels with KC-135Stratotankers and Marine MH-53 PaveLow helicopters.
“It was good to be able to actuallysee the effects of my work in the bat-tlefield,” he said. “It gives you a goodappreciation of what our fellow ser-vicemembers are going through outthere.”
For Sergeant Mahaffey, the tough-est part of the deployment was leav-ing. Flying on a C-130 was a closesecond.
“Halfway through my tour, theyconsolidated some radio shops, and Iwas forward deployed to Iraq,” he said.“We flew over at midnight in a C-130.No matter how hard you try, it willnever be a comfortable ride.”
One thing that helps Airmen nomatter where they’re deployed is theknowledge that someone back home isthinking about them.
“Care packages at holidays andfrom coworkers, communication andknowing that my family would betaken care of if anything had happenedwas a great relief,” Sergeant Mahaffeysaid. “I was fortunate to have suchsupport.”

Uniform board set torelease updates to AFI
Air Force Print News
Chevrons are coming off the shoulders, and the circles aroundthe U.S. insignia on the service dress uniform are coming back.
These are two of the key updates to Air Force Instruction 36-2903, “Air Force Uniform Dress and Appearance,” which willsoon be released, Air Force officials said.
“Over the years, we’ve made changes that made sense at thetime, but had the effect of moving us away from our heritage,”said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Michael Moseley. “Chevrons onsleeves and circles around the U.S. insignia are historical symbolsof the finest noncommissioned officer corps on the planet. Weneed to return that heritage to them and reconnect them to thegreat NCOs who went before them.”
The circle around the U.S. was eliminated in 1991, said SeniorMaster Sgt. Dana Athnos of the Air Force Uniform Board.
“Yet, every uniform board since then received requests to returnthat to the enlisted force, so it has been done,” she said. “Wearingthe circle on the lapel has a lasting heritage that dates back toApril 27, 1918.”
Implementation dates for the chevron and U.S. insignia changeswill be reflected in the revised AFI.
The updates will also include information about the new airstaff badge and new space badge. Desert combat uniforms are nowonly authorized on civilian flights to and from the area of respon-sibility. Also, Air Force personnel are not authorized to weardesert boots with the battle dress uniform.
All Airmen will be required to have one running suit, two T-shirts and two pair of shorts Oct. 1 when Air Force physical train-ing gear becomes mandatory. Also beginning in October, enlistedAirmen will receive an increase in their clothing allowance to off-set the increase of the mandatory number of T-shirts and shortsfrom two sets to three sets in October 2007.
Air Force officials emphasized that Airmen should not waituntil October to purchase these items. The revised AFI will clarifywear of the PT gear by specifying that when doing organized PT,the shorts and T-shirts will be worn as a set and not mixed withcivilian clothes. However, at other times the PT gear, including therunning suit, can be worn with civilian clothes.
More clarification will be provided about sister service badges,as well as cell phone use in uniform. New guidance about thewear of flight clothing also is incorporated in the updated docu-ment.
The new AFI will be available for all Airmen later this month. The Air Force Uniform Board, chaired by Air Force A1,
reviews any matters related to Air Force uniforms involving possi-ble improvements, and in turn, provides recommendations to thechief of staff for a final decision, Sergeant Athnos said. It’s adeliberate process that is focused on feedback from the field tobetter accomplish the Air Force mission.

Base Picnic needs hard work of many to be successfulSenior Airman Jason Ridder50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Feeding and entertaining thousands ofpeople is not an easy task. An event likethe base picnic needs to be plannedmonths in advance.
“We’ve been working on this year’spicnic since April,” said John Brunfeldt,50th Services Division flight chief. “Thepicnic planning committee met monthlyfor the first three months and then weeklystarting in July.”
The committee is made up of peoplefrom various base organizations, includ-ing the 50th Mission Support Group, 50thContracting Squadron, 50th LogisticsReadiness Flight, MCOM, 21st MedicalGroup, 50th Security Forces Squadronand others.
The committee starts out deciding on atheme and what events they will try tohave for the picnic.
For the 2006 picnic some of the eventswill include a 5K fun run/walk, Chiefsagainst the Eagles softball game, youthtrack and field events, Wings of Blueparachute team, a car, truck and motorcy-cle show, vendors and craft sales andmuch more.
There are a lot of details that need tobe worked out, everything from havingwater and electricity at the picnic site tomaking sure there are enough watermel-ons for an eating contest.
“I normally assign tasks to each com-mittee member,” said Mr. Brunfeldt. “The50th Civil Engineer Squadron handles thenuts and bolts, things like water, power
and structures, the LRF handles busschedules and stops and other membershandle things related to what they do.”
Services steps in to tie up all of theloose ends such as ordering food, doingrequest letters for Wings of Blue, ensur-ing there are tents and activities and other
administrative tasks.Another big role for Services is to
coordinate commercial sponsorship. Thecommercial sponsorship person inServices gathers un-solicited donationsfrom local businesses to help offset thecost of large events.
In addition to the committee, there arehundreds of other people that help makethe picnic a success each year.
“Volunteers are the biggest assets wehave,” said Mr. Brunfeldt. “This year wehave almost 200 volunteers, many peoplehave volunteered to work multiple days.”

What to wear, where to park, what to bringAre you ready for tomorrow’s base picnic? Here’s the
scoop from soup to nuts on what you need to know:
Time and location:Schriever softball field, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Who can attend:The base picnic is open to all Schriever employees and
their families including civilians and contractors at wingand tenant organizations on base.
Where to park:General parking will be in the north and west portal
parking lots. Attendees are encouraged to catch the shuttle buses
running every 15 minutes between the portals and the picnic area.
Please avoid parking along the side of roads notspecifically designated as parking areas.

What to bring:Lots of sunscreen — with 15 to 45 SPF. The sun is no

What to wear:Tomorrow is slated to be typical hot day in the low 80s
with a chance of rain. Wear comfortable summer clothes
but we suggest closed-toe shoes or sandals. The picnicarea has a lot of gravel and scrub-grass that can stick toyour feet and clothing.
Don’t forget sunglasses — and most importantly – a hat,cap or bandana to cover your head.
What to remember:Relax and enjoy the day. Avoid over-doing it, be sure
to think safety and stay hydrated.

Airmen train to prepare for ‘in-lieu-of’ taskingsMaster Sgt. Roger Drinnon
81st Training Wing Public Affairs
KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. — More than800 Airmen are attending Army ground combat skillstraining, preparing them for deployments to support oper-ations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
The Airmen require the training because they will beassigned duties outside their normal Air Force specialties.
Commonly referred to as “in-lieu-of,” or ILO, taskings,Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers and Marines from a cross-sec-tion of all military specialties are performing nontradi-tional missions to provide temporary augmentation.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseleytasked 2nd Air Force here to add to its technical trainingresponsibilities oversight of Airmen throughout their ILOtraining cycle.
“Our goal is to take care of our people as our Air Forcemission requirements continue to evolve,” said Maj. Gen.Michael Gould, 2nd Air Force commander. “We want toensure Airmen can perform safely and effectively in com-bat alongside our sister services.”
The aim of ILO training is to prepare Airmen for non-traditional combat environments in support of the com-batant commanders’ requirements where Airmen aredeployed to assist Army personnel.
“Airmen will continue to have readily available AirForce leadership eager to address any concerns,” the gen-
eral said. “I’m grateful that we have such high-caliberAirmen in our Air Force who can step up to these chal-lenges.
Their continuous feedback is essential for leadershipto be able to respond to any training or personnel issuesthat might arise.”
ILO training is designed to develop a population ofAirmen who are combat-ready and able to fulfill dutiesoutside their normal Air Force specialty.
Before deploying, Airmen tasked to augment certainArmy missions receive combat skills training at one of 14Army training locations now designated as PowerProjection Platforms.
Typical skills taught during ILO training includeenhanced combat weapons proficiency training, land nav-igation and Global Positioning System training. Airmenwill also recieve expanded training in self-aid and buddy-care called “combat lifesaver” training, detecting andresponding to improvised explosive devices and a host ofother relevant tactics. Theater-specific training mightvary.
“What we are trying to do here is train Airmen to domissions and roles they weren’t traditionally used tobecause they’re helping their counterparts in another serv-ice,” said Army Col. John Hadjis, commander of 3rdBrigade, 87th Division Training Support, at Camp Shelby,Miss.
“We developed this training out of what is commonly
called ‘theater immersion,’ which is a philosophy of takethe Soldier, take the Sailor, take the Airman, and trainhim or her to fight in the same conditions and same mis-sions as they would expect to see in-theater,” ColonelHadjis said.
“Some of it is intense—a lot of time (in small armstraining)—which is good,” said Staff Sgt. Matt Leas, amarketing information manager for the 364th RecruitingSquadron in Sacramento, Calif.
“It’s good to work with the Army to find out whatwe’ll be doing down-range. The instructors are good.They really know their stuff, and that’s really what we’relooking for down here,” he added.
Colonel Hadjis said the training was designed toimprove competencies in essential combat skills.
The training is built on 41 individual tasks and ninecollective tasks—tasks an Airman would do as part of ateam and are centered around competencies and warriorskills like shooting, communicating, self-aid buddy careand dealing and negotiating in the local culture.
Colonel Hadjis said the training exemplifies the con-cept of taking care of people, as servicemembers facenon-traditional combat environments with “no frontlines.”
“I think it’s the best possible example of taking care offolks,” he said. “We’re making them as ready as they pos-sibly can be to succeed at their mission, safeguard theirpeople and come home in good shape.”
