COMMANDER’S CORNER: MORE THAN THE MISSION - PAGE 2 Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado
Thursday, September 6, 2018 Vol. 62 No. 36 Col. Moore highlights mission, culture at Commander’s Call By Audrey Jensen 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 21st Space Wing’s vision — discipline, aggressiveness and creativity — was the theme of Thursday’s Commander’s Call at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 30, 2018. After introducing the new 21 SW leadership and him- self, Col. Todd Moore, 21 SW commander, went on to highlight Airmen’s dedication to the wing’s mission and how to surpass the standard. The mission is still the same, Moore said, referring to the words, “Execute combined global capabilities to de- fend the homeland and enable space combat operations.” “Priorities have not changed at all,” Moore said. “Caring, readiness, partnerships, culture and space-mindedness all contribute to winning. We’re playing to win, not to tie — so win.” Culture is an important piece of winning, Moore said as he requested that Airmen take care of themselves and each other during the Labor Day weekend break. “When you get back, I need you in the mission. I need you locked in and dissatisfied with how well you’re doing it,” Moore said. “I need you to be aggressive in how you’re solving problems. “Be creative — In context of hard problems, don’t be limited, be creative.”

Commander’s Call AF leadership provides update on the Air Force Publication Reduction Initiative Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (AFNS) — A year ago, Air Force lead- ership directed a 24-month review of every Air Force directive publication, and today they announced the elimination of more than 226 publications and almost 4,795 compliance items. In the letter delivered to Airmen, Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David L. Goldfein and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright said they owed the force an update. “We view this as a warfighting imperative, empowering commanders to use good judgement to accomplish the mission,” Air Force senior leaders said in the letter. The publications in the initiative are organized into three categories — Air Force Policy Directives, Air Force Instructions and Air Force Manuals. In addition to eliminating more than 226 publications, Air Force senior leaders updated 212 publications, with another 309 in formal coordination. Functional communities supporting the review con- sidered whether publications add value, set policy, de- (Courtesy graphic) scribe best practices and delegate authority to the lowest ship as they continue to provide Airmen and their local “We trust you to make the right decisions for your practical level. leadership more flexibility to accomplish the mission in Airmen,” they said. “That’s what we want commanders The initiative has been a priority for Air Force leader- a way that makes sense. to know.”

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Human traf- ficking is present throughout the United States and is far more prevalent in Colorado than one might think. During the first seven months of 2017, 40 people in Colorado faced charges for sexual exploitation of minors including pimping of a child for sexual exploitation, pandering of a child and other child prostitution charges. Offenses related to the human trafficking of a minor- in volve selling and purchasing sex, transporting, recruiting, and enticing a juvenile to participate in a sexual scheme that often results in a financial benefit or something of value. The three most common forms of human trafficking are forced labor, sex trafficking and child soldiering. Female juvenile prostitution continues to be the most prevalent type of human trafficking in the local area. Victims are often recruited at a young age and thrown into trafficking. Signs that a youth is possibly being trafficked include spending significant time with older males, receiv- ing gifts from older males and being offered hotel rooms. Most victims may not realize that they are in a trafficking situation until it is too late for them to separate themselves from their pimp or madam. As a member of the Colorado Springs community, you can assist the victims of this crime by reporting trafficking activ- ity. Contact the 21st Security Forces Squadron Investigations (Shutterstock) at 719-556-7060 to report trafficking behavior.

SPACE OBSERVER www.peterson.af.mil Thursday, September 6, 2018 5 Advanced Space Operations School re-designated 319th CTS By 2nd Lt. Kristen Shimkus Air Force Space Command
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Air Force Space Command re-designated the Advanced Space Operations School as the 319th Combat Training Squadron during a ceremony August 28, 2018, at the Moorman Space Education and Training Center, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. The re-designation as a CTS normalizes the squadron with the Air Force’s 16 other combat training squadrons that have similar training missions. The unit will refocus the advanced training to prepare space professionals for exercises such as SPACE FLAG and real-world operations in an increasingly contested space domain. “We will stay ahead of our foes via unending evolution by exploiting our intellectual capital and innovative nature, and the 319th Combat Training Squadron is the heart of that,” said Brig. Gen. DeAnna Burt, AFSPC director of op- erations and communications. Burt continued by stressing the importance of the 319th to keep us on the path of space superiority. The 319th CTS was first established in 2001 as the Space Operations School after an identified need for better space cadre training. Today, the organization is known for its abil- ity to rapidly adapt to an ever-evolving domain to develop space warfighters. “We are the 319th Combat Training Squadron, and the knowledge we impart is the guarantor of our nation’s dom- inance of the space domain now and into the future,” said Lt. Col. Paul Contoveros, commander of the 319th CTS. Anyone with adequate justification can register for a course. There are no registration or textbook fees for any of the 18 courses, both online and in residence, that are currently offered by the squadron. The 319th CTS re-designation marks the continued evo- lution of advanced space training and symbolizes the orga- nization’s dedication to providing higher-fidelity training, which is key to preparing space professionals to operate in (U.S. Air Force photo by 2Lt Kristen Shimkus) a contested warfighting domain.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- After retiring from military or civilian service, you may be wondering where you will be getting your income. To help both civilians and service members plan ahead for retire- ment, the Thrift Savings Plan, a government-sponsored retirement and savings investment plan, is available for civilians and service members to help start the process. To further explain the specifics of the plan, two TSP training and liaison specialists presented information at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 16, 2018, at the base auditorium. Stewart Kaplan and Mei Shan Josephine Krammer, TSP training and liaison specialists, took turns presenting specific details and benefits of the plan to civilians and service members in attendance so they can properly navigate and use their plans. The two specialists discussed the Blended Retirement System, TSP contributions, investments, loans, withdrawal options and the TSP Modernization Act of 2017. “In the end, what we’re trying to accomplish is having the biggest possible balance in our account when we go into retirement,” said Kaplan during his presentation on TSP investing. “Probably 99 percent of you here have a TSP account. That’s what’s going to fill in the gap between what you need in retirement and what you’re going to get from social security, a military pension, or another pension.” Kaplan and Krammer both answered questions from the audience and outlined how to get the most out of the TSP. “You want to make sure you have a reasonable assumption of what you’re going to have in your account when you go to retire, relatively within some kind of window,” Kaplan said. “That way you can have the lifestyle you’ve earned and worked for all those years.” TSP members or those interested in starting a TSP account can go to https://www.tsp.gov/index.html for more information on these resources: • Plan participation (How to set up and manage your TSP account) • Investment funds (Information on TSP fund options and (U.S. Air Force photo by Audrey Jensen) performance) PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Mei Shan Josephine Krammer, Thrift Savings Plan training and liaison specialist, speaks • Planning and tools (Retirement planning and tools for all career on TSP loans and financial hardship withdrawals during a presentation on the TSP in the Auditorium at Peterson Air Force Base, stages) Colorado, August 16, 2018.

Hymel Air Force Medical Service History Office
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — Two bombs exploded in a parking lot outside the U.S. Air Forces in Europe headquarters building at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, on August 31, 1981, injuring 15 people. When they heard the blasts, Air Force dentists and their staff ran out to help. The bombs, placed in cars by anti-American terrorist group, the Red Army, detonated early in the morning, shattering windows, starting fires, and damaging partitions, inte- rior walls, equipment, and furniture in the headquarters. One blast blew a car hood over a five-story building. Within seconds, two dental officers and four enlisted staff rushed to the site from the dental clinic located across the street from the blast. While one officer searched the parking lot for survivors, the other officer and staff entered the burning building and helped move victims to safety. A few minutes later, more members of the dental clinic staff arrived and escorted the injured to the clinic. The senior dental officer and oral surgeon turned the waiting room into a triage and treatment center. The dental staff cleared routine dental patients from the room, moved chairs up against the walls, wheeled in IV drips, and prepared bandages and (U.S. Air Force photo) compresses. They then assisted victims in, while an enlisted member established commu- nications with the medical command post.

In the triage center, two people became hysterical after what they had witnessed. Of the 15 wounded, dentists treated two victims on the spot and accompanied them by ambulance to a hospital. One patient suffered an open chest wound and a fractured femur, while another suffered cuts to the face and around the eyes. Six were treated in the dental clinic and escorted to the base medical facility for follow up. The rest were immediately transported to the medical facility. This swift and professional response to an unforeseen tragedy demonstrates the long-stand- ing Air Force Medical Service commitment to the patient, now embodied by AFMS Trusted Care culture, and the importance of always being ready to deliver care. These principles still drive medical Airmen today.

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The 96th Medical Group held a ribbon-cutting cer- emony to celebrate the opening of the Air Force’s first Invisible Wounds Center Aug. 30. More than 120 people attended the event and toured the new facility, including the Air Force Surgeon General, Lt. Gen. Dorothy Hogg, the 96th Test Wing installation commander, Brig. Gen. Evan C. Dertien, and members of the local community. Hogg, the guest speaker for the ribbon cutting ceremony, thanked everyone who helped standup the center here. She also reaffirmed the Air Force’s commitment to providing ‘Trusted Care’ to our military members. “Standing up this facility is just the first step of many in our commitment to care for our warriors with invisible wounds,” she said. “We owe these brave men and women the very best treatment possible. Today, we make good on that commitment.” The center will serve as a regional treatment center for post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, associated pain conditions and psychological injuries. “The center is ready to treat retirees, Guard, Reserve, and active duty members from our sister services who carry the weight of invisible wounds,” said Hogg. “Our goal is to eliminate barriers to care. We want to treat our service members with dignity through every phase of their recovery.” “The facility and the capabilities we are building here have the impact and the potential to change people’s lives,” said Dertien. “This sends the message that we can talk about invisible wounds. It’s okay to ask for help.” “We’re here for you, we’re ready to serve you,” he said.
