Threat within our walls Ralph A. Milone Jr. 96th Test Wing

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — What do Mustava Awwad, Charles Eccleston, Bryan Martin and Bryan Underwood have in common with each other? They were part of an individual “insider threat” in which they jeopardized our national security posture. Awwad, a Navy civilian engineer, tried to share schematics of a nuclear aircraft carrier with individuals he believed were representatives of a foreign government. Eccleston, a Department of Energy Nuclear Regulatory Commission employee, attempted to spear-phish, or cyberattack, his organization’s computers. Martin, a Navy sailor, accepted more than $11,000 from an undercover FBI agent posing as a Chinese intelligence officer in exchange for secret and top secret data. Underwood, a former U.S. Consulate Guardsman, was sentenced to nine years in prison for attempting to provide national defense information to China for $5 million. Insider threats are more difficult to detect and can cause significant damage to national security. The Continuous Evaluation Program was implemented to help detect such threats. This critical platform helps members of the Ensuring that the U.S. Air Force’s cyber assets and our personally identifiable information remain safe and out of the wrong hands is one of the many responsibilities that we, as Airmen, must take seriously.

The plating shop, located at Post location 061, chemically removes electroplating and other fi nish coatings on engine parts before they are inspected, and reapplies the fi nish prior to reassembly. The shop primarily works on F101, F108, F118, F110, F100, TF33, F119 and F135 engines for the 76th Propulsion Maintenance Group, but also supports interdivisional parts for the Commodities Maintenance Group and Aircraft Maintenance Group. Once delivered to the shop, parts are hoisted and dipped into a series of tanks for exposure to various chemicals.
