    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE UPDATE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TOTAL FORCE TRAINING MISSION FOR VISITING UNITS (OPERATION SNOWBIRD, MULTI-SERVICE, AND FOREIGN MILITARY SALES) DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, ARIZONA September 2014 1 Cover Sheet 2 Environmental Assessment for the 3 Update and Implementation of the 4 Total Force Training Mission for Visiting Units 5 (Operation Snowbird, Multi-Service, Foreign Military Sales) 6 Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona 7 8 a. Responsible Agency: United States Air Force (Air Force) 9 10 b. Proposals and Actions: The Air Force proposes to update and implement the Total Force 11 Training Mission at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (DMAFB), Arizona. The implementation of 12 that program would support a year-round training mission designed to build and maintain the 13 readiness of military units composing the Total Force of the Department of Defense (DoD), so 14 that they are capable of supporting extended combat and other national security operations, 15 including joint coalition air operations and multi-service activities, all of which increasingly 16 require greater interoperability. DoD Active and Reserve Units would participate and coordinate 17 a portion of the training. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) units from U.S. ally Nations would also 18 participate in the training. Air National Guard (ANG), operating under their ongoing program 19 known as Operation Snowbird (OSB), would also participate and coordinate a portion of the 20 training. OSB is a program that is managed by ANG’s 162nd Fighter Wing (162 FW), 21 Detachment 1 (Det 1). The Preferred Alternative would increase the annual number of sorties 22 from the 1,408 sorties flown in 2009 (i.e., the baseline) to 2,326; this level of activity represents 23 approximately 6 percent of the total airfield operations flown at DMAFB (4,652 visiting unit 24 operations/80,045 total DMAFB operations).

Baldwin 2013 was a remarkable year for the Cali- Julie Avey Master Sgt. by Photo fornia National Guard, with great victories on the battlefield, in our state’s forests and in our communities. As we move forward, we will continue to build on our success- es while refocusing efforts on our domes- tic responsibilities and providing the most cost-effective answer to Department of De- fense (DoD) budget questions. In line with DoD policy, the Guard began opening all military occupations to women for the first time in 2013, including posi- tions with direct combat roles. More than just a move toward equality, this was a tac- tical advancement that ensures each mis- sion is staffed by the most-capable person- nel and increases the Guard’s cultural and social capabilities. The Guard also began actively recruiting members of the gay community in 2013. The freedom those service members now experience in the Armed Forces is emblem- atic of the freedom this nation has fought for since our forefathers first wrote that all men are created equal, and we will fight for this freedom as vigorously as we have any other.
