American Forces Press ServiceDEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

With major, across-the-board defense spending cutsscheduled to take effect March 1, Defense Secretary LeonE. Panetta issued a message to the Defense Departmentworkforce Feb. 20. Here is the secretary’s message:

For more than a year and a half, the president, theJoint Chiefs of Staff and I have repeatedly voiced ourdeep concerns over the half a trillion dollars in auto-matic across-the-board cuts that would be imposed un-der sequestration and the severe damage that would doboth to this department and to our national defense.

The administration continues to work with Congress toreach agreement on a balanced deficit reduction plan toavoid these cuts. Meanwhile, because another trigger forsequestration is approaching on March 1, the department’sleadership has begun extensive planning on how to imple-ment the required spending reductions. Those cuts will bemagnified because the department has been forced to op-erate under a six-month continuing resolution that has al-ready compelled us to take steps to reduce spending.

In the event of sequestration we will do everything wecan to be able to continue to perform our core mission ofproviding for the security of the United States, but thereis no mistaking that the rigid nature of the cuts forced

upon this department, and their scale, will result in a se-rious erosion of readiness across the force.

I have also been deeply concerned about the potentialdirect impact of sequestration on you and your families.We are doing everything possible to limit the worst effectson DoD personnel – but I regret that our flexibility withinthe law is extremely limited. The president has used his le-gal authority to exempt military personnel funding fromsequestration, but we have no legal authority to exemptcivilian personnel funding from reductions. As a result,should sequestration occur and continue for a substantialperiod, DoD will be forced to place the vast majority of itscivilian workforce on administrative furlough.

Today, I notified Congress that furloughs could occur

under sequestration. I can assure you that, if we haveto implement furloughs, all affected employees will beprovided at least 30 days’ notice prior to executing a fur-lough and your benefits will be protected to the maxi-mum extent possible. We also will work to ensure thatfurloughs are executed in a consistent and appropriatemanner, and we will also continue to engage in discus-sions with employee unions as appropriate.

Working with your component heads and supervisors,the department’s leaders will continue to keep you in-formed. As we deal with these difficult issues, I want tothank you for your patience, your hard work, and your con-tinued dedication to our mission of protecting the country.

Our most important asset at the department is ourworld-class personnel. You are fighting every day tokeep our country strong and secure, and rest assuredthat the leaders of this department will continue to fightwith you and for you.

Panetta issues a message toDOD workforce on sequestration

The 2013 Army Emergency Relief cam-paign is set to kick off at Fort Eustis March1, and continue through May 15.

The annual campaign raises money forthe Fort Eustis AER fund to help Soldiersin need throughout the year.

The AER fund is a non-profit, charitablefinancial assistance organization dedicatedto helping Soldiers in financial emergen-cies. Emergency funds are available for ac-tive duty and retired Soldiers, or NationalGuardsmen and reservists with 30 or moreconsecutive days of active duty service.

Established in 1942 in response to aneed for financial assistance by Soldiers

and their families during World War II,AER provides emergency financial assis-tance in the form of interest-free loans orgrants. In addition, Army Emergency Re-lief provides scholarships to dependentsof active duty and retired Soldiers, finan-cial support for wounded warriors and

surviving families of fallen Soldiers.The AER fund has assisted more than

3.2 million Soldiers and family membersfor a combined total of more than $1.4billion since it was founded. The fundprocessed 61,000 cases, providing morethan $70 million in no-interest loans andgrants in 2010 alone.

“The Army Emergency Relief helps Sol-diers in their families with everythingfrom vehicle repairs to medical expenses,”said Sgt. 1st Class Henry Walker, ArmyEmergency Fund campaign coordina-tor. “This program shows the Army caresabout its soldiers, and is willing to helpthem in their time of need.”

Even though the post’s fundraisinggoal was $200,000 in 2012, Walker said

more than $431,000 in aid was given toFort Eustis Soldiers.

The fund focuses on providing easy,flexible donation methods. Each unit willhave an AER representative to ensureeach Soldier is afforded the opportuni-ty to donate with ease. Unit representa-tives will be assigned and trained to an-swer any questions by March 1.

Like the Combined Federal Campaign,Service members and civilian employeescan donate to AER with a one-time dona-tion of a chosen amount, or can choose toset up a monthly allotment.

“We want to give each Soldier thechance to contribute,” said Walker. “Do-nations benefit your fellow Soldiers, andyou never know when you may need it.”

Every day, the men and women of theU.S. Air Force are fighting a war using ahigh-tech weapons system without real-izing it. It’s a weapons system that needsto be protected at all cost, 24 hours a day,seven days a week.

“Our network is just like any otherweapon,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt.Scott A. Wagonblott, 633rd Communi-cations Squadron wing information as-surance manager. “We can fight warsthrough information technology and wecan be attacked through it as well.”

The information assurance office playsa role in protecting the network, but theycan’t do it alone.

“We are the protectors of the domain;we provide the standards, we give guid-ance and direction, we enforce that guid-ance and direction, but we are only asstrong as our weakest link,” said Wagon-blott. “If we have one or two people whodon’t take it seriously, it’s those one or

two who will cause the weapons systemto fail. Information assurance has to be in-valuable to each person.”

According to Wagonblott, informationassurance is the all-encompassing pro-tection of unclassified and classified dataon all computer networks. It can be bro-ken down into three primary elements or“IA core values:” confidentiality, integrityand availability.

■ Confidentiality – Securing and protect-ing our data from unauthorized means.

■ Integrity – Making sure informationis always accurate; that nothing has beenchanged or modified.

■ Availability – Making sure informa-tion and resources are accessible whenthey’re needed.

The IA core values can’t work withoutthe adhesive that holds them together, au-thentication and non-repudiation, said U.S.Air Force 2nd Lt. Johnathan L. Rhodes,633rd Communications Squadron officer incharge of wing information assurance.

In 2012, the United States suffered morethan 450 weather-related fatalities andnearly 2,600 injuries. Images of “Super-storm Sandy” and the recent blizzard inthe northeast, which killed nearly 20 peo-ple, are still fresh in the minds of Ameri-cans effected by Mother Nature’s wrath.

We cannot prevent severe weather, butwe can prepare for the worst and knowwhat to do when the going gets rough.

March 3-9, 2013 is National SevereWeather Preparedness Week, hosted by theFederal Emergency Management Agen-cy (FEMA) and the National Oceanic andAtmosphere Administration (NOAA) andemphasizes the need for individuals, fam-ilies, businesses and nonprofits to preparefor severe weather.

One of the most significant severeweather threats are tornadoes. ManyAmericans associate tornadoes solelywith the flat expanse of the Great Plainsor the Midwest. Historically however,every state in the union has experiencedtornadoes, with 46 states reporting aconfirmed tornado in 2012.

Nationwide, there were 936 tornadoesreported in 2012, with 206 in April alone.

Property and crop damage from torna-does in 2012 was estimated at $1.6 billion.

Even more of an immediate threat inthe Hampton Roads area are hurricanes,which carry the potential to cause bil-lions of dollars in damage, as well as life-threatening flood and wind damage, in-cluding flying debris.

Between 1970 and 1999, more peoplelost their lives from freshwater inlandflooding associated with tropical cyclonesthan from any other weather hazard relat-ed to such storms.

According to Mark Junghans, 733rd Mission Support Division emergency management chief,

it is important to have a hurricane preparedness plan in place. Do not wait until a hurricane

threatens Hampton Roads to develop a plan for survival.

In the event of a hurricane, tornadoor severe weather event, planning andpreparation is the best way to ensure youand your family’s safety. Ensure that youknow about your surroundings and riskfor specific weather by having multiplesources for weather alerts.

Mark Junghans, the 733rd Mission Sup-port Division emergency managementchief, recommends the following steps inpreparing for weather’s worst:

■ Have an emergency plan in place, andknow what to do before severe weatherstrikes. Exercise the plan with your fam-ily and post it in your home where visi-tors can see it. When tailoring your plans,consider working with others to createnetworks of neighbors, relatives, friendsand co-workers who will assist each oth-er in an emergency.

■ Discuss your needs and responsibil-ities in the network and how you can as-sist each other with communication, careof children, pets, and specific needs likethe operation of durable medical equip-ment or how to inform someone withhearing loss.

■ Identify an appropriate shelter in yourhome, neighborhood and community

ahead of time. Share this with your neigh-bors. Learn how to strengthen your homeand business against severe weather. Passthis information on at community gather-ings, local service organizations or faith-based meetings.

■ Find out from local governmentemergency management how you willbe notified for each kind of disaster and

sign up for additional alerts through so-cial media and local news. Understandthese local warning systems and signalsand share your knowledge with your co-workers and friends. Email these resourc-es to your friends or post them to your so-cial media account.

■ Build an emergency kit. This kit shouldcontain first aid and survival items, such

as water, food, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, a NOAA Weather Radio withextra batteries, flashlights, first aid supplies,and more. For a list of supplies to build acomprehensive kit, visit www.ready.gov/basic-supplies-kit.

Junghans said the most importantthing to do is to be engaged and developa preparedness process.

By Deveney WallJOINTTASK FORCE-CIVIL SUPPORT PUBLIC AFFAIRS

One of the original members of theTuskegee Airmen visited Joint TaskForce-Civil Support here Feb. 22, to dis-cuss the significant role the all-black unitplayed in World War II despite serving ina segregated military.

Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Ezra Hill, aNewport News, Va., native, spoke to morethan 120 members of JTF-CS about howthe Airmen were given an opportunity tocreate the first black pilot program.

By the end of the war, 992 men hadgraduated from Negro Air Corps pilottraining at Tuskegee, Ala.; 450 were sentoverseas for combat assignment.

During the same period, about 150black pilots lost their lives while in train-ing accidents or on combat flights, ac-cording to the National Museum of theU.S. Air Force’s website.

“[They] had to fight the war - they werein the military, but they didn’t have to in-tegrate,” said Hill.

The visit was part of a command-wide Black History Month recognitionto showcase the significant contributionsAfrican-Americans have made in UnitedStates history, including the acceptance ofand contributions by African-Americansin the military.

Hill spoke to the group on how the blackpilot program began as a test program tohave black college students undergo aca-demics referred to as the “Tuskegee Exper-iment,” named for the program’s inceptionat Alabama’s historically-black TuskegeeInstitute. Tuskegee’s 99th Fighter Squadronbecame the first squadron of black pilots toface combat in World War II.

Though the airmen were trained to fly,the “young Negroes were still not flying af-ter Pearl Harbor,” Hill said. Meanwhile, theGerman Luftwaffe destroyed between “50to 60 percent” of allied bombers daily overthe skies in Europe, mostly because thebombers lacked fighter plane protection.

Until American black fighter squadronsentered the war in Europe, the German

Luftwaffe “ruled the skies,” said Hill.“Just think – of 100 bombers, 60 were

coming back shot up,” he recalled. “That’s600 pilots and crew lost in one mission.”

Initially, the Tuskegee Airmen were giv-en a chance to prove themselves in combatover Pantelleria, an island near Sicily, Italy,on June 2, 1943. Three additional black airunits – the 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter

Squadrons – joined the 99th in Italy in1944 to form the 332nd Fighter Group. The332nd became known as the “Red Tails”because of the distinctive tail markings ontheir aircraft. The Red Tails flew bomberescort missions and engaged in air combatas far north as Berlin.

Shortly after the war, U.S. President HarryS. Truman signed an executive order to end

military segregation. This, in turn, began afootprint into progressions that eventuallyled to the civil rights movement in the U.S.

In short, Hill said African-American Ser-vice members fought “a war after the war”to help turn the tide on civil rights follow-ing World War II, including the integrationof black troops into the military.

“That’s what we fought for,” said Hill.“We want to be called one thing - ‘Ameri-can.’ We’ve been called many things, hadmany names, but we’re Americans first.”

Hill followed the visit with a book sign-ing session for JTF-CS staff. He penned“The Black Red Tail Angels: The Story ofA Tuskegee Airman and the Aviators,”published in 2007.

than 120 members of JTF-CS at the event.

According to the World Health Organization, the preva-lence of allergic diseases has been increasing for more than50 years in the industrialized world, to include America.

Luckily for patients at U.S. Air Force Hospital Lang-ley, Va., the allergy clinic staff provides the necessarycare to ensure patients can cope with, or even movepast, their allergies.

To meet the ever-increas-ing demand for relief, the hos-pital acquired an allergist lastDecember. By doing so, aller-gy clinic staff members hopeto provide care to more people,said Senior Airman CatherineSettles, 633rd Medical Groupaerospace medical technician.

“Now that we have an al-lergist, we can see more pa-tients,” said Settles. “Patients with complex allergy is-sues can be seen here instead of at other hospitals.”

Having an allergist on hand gives the clinic the abilityto diagnose patients on-site, which expedites treatment.

“Before December, we saw roughly 20 to 30 patientsa week,” said Settles. “With the addition of an allergistthis year, we see approximately 40 to 50 patients, and wehope to see more.”

No matter if they’re flying high inthe skies, turning a wrench on theflight line or providing parts and fuel,Langley’s Airmen continually provethey are among the best.

Maintainers in the 1st and 192dFighter Wings, along with members ofthe 633rd Logistics Readiness Squad-ron, were evaluated by Air CombatCommand’s Logistics ComplianceAssessment Program team Feb. 8-13.LCAP assesses logistics processes andregulatory compliance while Airmencarry out their day-to-day missions.

“It ensures our personnel are accom-plishing their missions in a safe, com-pliant and repeatable manner,” saidChief Master Sgt. Darren Preiss, 1stAircraft Maintenance Squadron chief.

A score of 80 percent or greater isrequired to pass an LCAP, which isconsidered the toughest evaluationmaintainers and logisticians can face.

“The fighter wing received an over-

all 91.29 percent ‘Excellent’ rating,with the 1st Maintenance Group earn-ing a score of 91.44, the highest scoreof the last 58 maintenance group in-spections,” Preiss said. “We were toldit was ‘the best score the team has giv-en in over three years.’”

The 633rd LRS received an overalloutstanding score of 95.09 during theinspection, the best score for a LRS inover a year and half.

The job of the AMXS is to produce combat ready air-craft. Maj. Carl Wilson, 1st AMXS commander, overseesmore than 350 Airmen who make that happen.

“This inspection just showcased how we perform on aday-to-day basis,” Wilson said. “I’m extremely proud ofthe Airmen in my unit; they proved they are best in thecombat Air Forces.”

Now that they’ve taken the time to reflect on their ac-complishment, the maintenance group and their partnersin LRS will continue to move forward and ensure they areready to perform at moment’s notice, said Wilson.

“I’m very honored to work with and lead such a greatgroup of professionals,” said Wilson. “The group here isthe most motivated and hardworking group of peopleI’ve worked with in my 24 years in the Air Force, andthey continue to make me proud on a daily basis.”

Preiss echoed Wilson’s feelings.“Our world is never idle; we’re always looking at the

next challenge,” said Preiss. “Make no mistake – we arealways ready to fly, fight and win!”

The influx of patients comes from within the hospi-tal since primary care managers refer them to the allergyclinic after an initial diagnosis.

Once they reach the clinic, Air Force Lt. Col. TeresaNesselroad, 633rd MDG allergist, performs further diag-noses and determines the cause of discomfort.

“We get a full history of the patient to find a potential trig-ger,” said Nesselroad. “Afterwards, we test a wide range ofallergens until we see a reaction.”

The staff conducts skin patch, skin prick and oral chal-lenge tests using airborne, venom or food allergens. Tech-nicians record the reactions, then Nesselroad consults thepatient and provides advice and treatment measures toensure the patient can cope with their allergies.

To be seen by allergy clinic personnel, Nesselroad ad-vises potential patients to visit their PCM first before try-ing to schedule an appointment with the clinic.

Nesselroad and Settles both expressed a sense of ac-complishment in finding the source of discomfort fortheir patients. If you feel you might be suffering from al-lergies, rest assured the allergy clinic staff will do theirbest to keep you breathing easy all year long.

The noise of metal grinding metaloverwhelms the room. On one side ofthe room, water bubbles in a machine;sparks fly on the other. With such seem-ing chaos, it’s hard to believe many of uspass this place on our daily commute.

In the 1st Maintenance Squadron’sMetals Technology shop, 10 of Langley’sAirmen can be found welding metal,manufacturing parts for F-22ARaptors orrepairing just about any type of metal thathas been torn or broken on base.

“A lot of shops know us as the ‘lastchance shop,’” said U.S. Air Force StaffSgt. Raymond Russell, 1st MXS Met-als Technology aircraft metals technol-ogist. “If we can’t fix it, it most likelycan’t be fixed.”

When the T-38 Talons came to Lang-ley, Metals Technology manufactured24 different fixtures and over 100,000tools to be used on the aircraft for reg-ular maintenance. According to MasterSgt. Daniel Davis, 1st MXS Metals Tech-nology shop chief, the small shop mustpossess keen characteristics to be able toaccomplish so much for the base.

“We have to be very detailed and fo-cused on quality,” said Davis. “Beingpart of such a small shop challenges usto stay focused on quality and safety.Accomplishing the mission given oursize gives us a great sense of pride.”

While Metals Technology shines whenrepairing aircraft equipment, their job en-compasses much more. Metals technolo-gists at Langley have also worked on airconditioning units, tire cages and hospi-tal construction supplies, said Davis.

“We work with engineers quite oftento manufacture things for the F-22s thathave to be very precise and specific,” saidDavis. “Our job never gets boring be-cause people also come to us with thingsthat are broken that may require a littlebit of creativity to figure out how to fix.”

In a job involving such a wide variety ofequipment, precision and attention to de-tail play large roles in quality assurance.

“We can manufacture just about any-thing,” said Russell. “But if we make ascrew just one-thousandth of an inch

Before the wars in Iraq and Afghani-stan, large numbers of U.S. Army ammu-nition specialists operated ammunitionsupply points in garrison and overseas incombat zones downrange.

Times have changed, and now a groupof Resolute Warriors, in charge of the FortEustis ASP, are the only active duty unitactively managing this specialty.

Twelve Soldiers from the ammunitionmanagement section assigned to the 7thSustainment Brigade have operated thepost’s ASP since July 2012, where theywill remain until relieved by civiliancontractors.

Assigning the Soldiers to man the ASPcame via a crucial decision made lastsummer: close the ASP, or find somebody

to keep it open as soon as possible.“[Army Support Activity] charged us

with keeping the ammunition supplypoint open,” said Chief Warrant OfficerJoseph Swartout, an ammunition tech-nician assigned to Special Troops Bat-talion’s Headquarters & HeadquartersCompany. “They said they could eithershut it down – which would impact ev-ery Army unit in the tidewater region –or we could use our ammunition special-ists to keep it open and maintain it untilcontractors can take over, which couldtake about a year.”

The ammo techs and specialists ac-cepted the challenge to keep the ASPopen, providing Soldiers a reassurance inknowing there will be no major changesin acquiring ammunition for training.

The Soldiers knew they would maintain their normal responsibilitiesto the brigade in addition to manning the ASP, but answered proudlywhen called upon by the Department of the Army to assist.

“We are one of the only active duty units that is managing an ASP.We serve 30 units in thearea, to include Reserve Of-ficers’ Training Corps pro-grams, Reserve units, andoutside units like the New-port News Police Depart-ment and the Criminal In-vestigation Department. It isa great opportunity for us,”said Swartout. “If we didn’ttake over, the ASP and am-munition program would beshut down.”

In July, civilian contrac-tors will take over manage-ment of the ASP. However,the “Ammo Dogs” diligencein manning the ASP ensurescustomers will not miss a beat in their training schedules.

The specialists themselves gain valuable experience by working intheir profession, keeping proficiency in their skill sets.

“It is good for ammo specialists to do their job while in garrison. Theyare bettering themselves, their unit and the Army,” Swartout said. “Theyare getting great experience here while supporting the brigade and thetidewater region.”

■ Authentication – making sure the user is who theysay they are.

■ Non-repudiation – making sure the user cannotdeny what they did.

According to Rhodes, an easy way to understand authen-tication and non-repudiation is your common access card.

“You have your certificates on your CAC that ensureonly you can send your e-mails and help people validatethat it was you who sent the e-mails,” said Rhodes.

Each person has different responsibilities in the AirForce, but we are all re-sponsible for IA, said Wag-onblott. Each job in the AirForce ties into the core val-ues of IA. For example, ifyou’re an aircraft mechan-ic, manuals and technicalorders may be informationthat needs to be protectedusing IA.

“If I work on airplanesfor a living, I still work withdata, I still have manualsthat I have to maintain,”said Wagonblott.

According to Wagon-blott, if manuals need to be protected so someone from theoutside can’t access them, that’s confidentiality.

“For the integrity piece, making sure the manual isn’tmissing a page, could be the difference between a wingfalling off a plane or not,” he said. “As for availability, Ialso need to make sure that guys working on the jet areable to access that data.”

Wagonblott also stated that each network user mustknow what their responsibilities are. Everyone in the AirForce, regardless if they are military, civilian or contrac-tor must take information assurance training. Knowingwhat data is critical as well as knowing how to protectthat data keeps our networks safe.

“We can have all the technology in the world but if ourusers are not paying heed to things that are going on inthe world of IT, then ultimately our front door is wideopen [to attack],” said Rhodes.

Wagonblott added that everyone needs to understandhow important and critical IA is to the mission and themilitary as a whole.

“It takes you, me and everyone to focus on what’s im-portant, and that’s the protection of our networks,” said

Heartshungfromtheentrance, lightswere dim, decorations were red andwhite, the music was loud; it soundedlike a party was ready to begin.

These festivities took palce dur-ing the Airmen Committed to Excel-lence Valentine’s party at the LangleyCommunity Center at Langley AirForce Base, Va., Feb. 16. ACE hostedthe party in an effort engage the hun-dreds of junior Airmen on the base.

Members of ACE were encour-aged to assist with the party by help-ing spread the word, helping orga-nize, or set-up and clean-up.

“We were there from beginning toend,” said Senior Airman JonathanRubio Abreu, 633rd Medical Oper-ations Squadron health services ad-ministrator and ACE vice president.“We raised the funds, found the lo-cation and promoted the party.”

According to party-goer Airman1st Class Karlo Cedeno, 633rd Sur-gical Operations Squadron radiolo-gy technician, one of the benefits ofthe event was being able to socializeoutside of work.

“Being so busy at work, I find it dif-ficult to meet new people, so I likedthe opportunity,” said Cedeno.

While people were enjoying theparty, ACE members were workingbehind the scenes to ensure a suc-cessful evening. They gave the op-tion of a safe ride home for Airmenafter the party, and brought leftoverfood and drinks after the party tovarious Airmen working night shiftand unable to attend.

One aspect that led to the successof the event was through promotion,said Rubio Abreu. ACE created anevent on Facebook, sent out emailsand handed out paper invitations.

ACE often holds additional socialevents such as a poker night, pizzaparty socials and bowling nights. It

also promotes other ways to get in-volved through volunteer oppor-tunities for Airmen such as Habitatfor Humanity, Meals on Wheels, andSoldiers and Airmen Against DrunkDriving, or SAADD.

ACE’s events not only provide asocial atmosphere, but also help Air-

men to network, said Rubio Abreu.For Airmen interested in join-

ing, ACE has a membership fee of15 dollars and requires a member-ship form which can be obtainedthrough any ACE executive mem-ber or member, the ACE SharePointsite or through email.
