This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp).

The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel.

These challenges system, with sustainment costs alone are largely the result of sustainment plans that do not fully include key estimated at more than $1 trillion over requirements or aligned (timely and sufficient) funding. DOD is taking steps to a 60-year life cycle. As the F-35 address some challenges, but without more comprehensive plans and aligned program approaches full-rate funding, DOD risks being unable to fully leverage the F-35’s capabilities and production, DOD is working to deliver sustain a rapidly expanding fleet. an affordable sustainment strategy that is able to meet the needs of the military Table: Key Department of Defense (DOD) Challenges for F-35 Aircraft Sustainment services. This strategy is being tested Key challenge Description as DOD stands up military depots, Limited repair capacity DOD’s capabilities to repair F-35 parts at military depots are 6 years trains personnel, and supports its first at depots behind schedule, which has resulted in average part repair times of 172 operational squadrons—with plans to days—twice the program’s objective (see figure 1).

  • Special Delivery / Vietnam-Era Helicopter Joins Ranks at Hill Aerospace Museum
    Special Delivery / Vietnam-era helicopter joins ranks at Hill Aerospace Museum (MATTHEW HATFIELD/Standard-Examiner) Jim "Pappy" Walters, a civilian contractor test pilot, smiles Thursday after landing at Hill Air Force Base the last MH-53M still flying in the U.S. Air Force Friday, September 19, 2008 HILL AIR FORCE BASE -- The Hill Aerospace Museum added a new member to its family of historic aircraft Thursday afternoon. A Vietnam-era MH-53M Pave Low helicopter, tail number 68-10367, was flown into Hill from Hurlburt Field in Florida and will be put on permanent display at the base museum. "This is going to be a beautiful addition to our collection," said Hill Museum Director Scott Wirz as the helicopter became visible on the horizon over the Wasatch Mountains. The 37-year-old aircraft was flown in by a crew of seven. It had actually been on the base before. The helicopter was first used by the 1550th Aircrew Training and Test Wing at Hill. "That was the last flight for this bird in the Air Force," retired flight engineer Rick Simmon said of his travels to the base. "She served us well." Simmon, who now works at the Hurlburt Field Air Force Installation, was stationed at Hill from 1974-75 and served on the aircraft during Vietnam. "We did a lot of combat rescue missions with it in the southern part of Vietnam," Simmon said. "We were shot at and hit a bunch of times, but we never went down. It's just kind of a sad day to know I won't ever fly it again." The chopper was also used at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii to recover fill canisters ejected by Project Corona, a U.S.

  • WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL)
    WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL) Within the Western Regional Partnership (WRP) region, there are significant military testing and training installations and ranges. WRP developed summaries from all of the Services and the National Guard, describing the history, missions, and importance of these assets. These summaries use only publicly available information and are written for the policy maker new to military issues and the military savvy person needing specific military information. It is our hope that WRP Partners use these summaries as a tool for land use planning efforts to encourage compatible growth and ensure future mission viability. Incompatible development (encroachment) comes in many forms but for the military, it means those issues that affect their ability to fulfill their mission on land, in the sea, or in the air. These military summaries are for general planning purposes.

  • DOCA Hill-Ogden Conference Notes
    DOCA Hill-Ogden Conference Notes Notes from March 1-3, 2020 by DOCA Member Lynn M. Boughey (’94) (All presentations and tours UNCLASSIFIED) If one word is best attributed to Hill Air Force Base and its many interrelated missions, it would be the word “legacy.” Everywhere you turn, there are reflections of what once was, what has become, and what the future will hold. From their world-class museum to state-of-the-art engineering and computer modeling, to the newest fighter jet available – the entire base lets the young airmen, civilians, and contractors walk in the footsteps of those who came before them, leading us quietly but most assuredly into a different future that will merge all that was, is, and will be. Attendees and Focus of Conference Forty-seven DOCA members attended the conference from Sunday, March 1 through Tuesday, March 3, 2020. The focus of this conference was the importance of our nation’s nuclear deterrence mission and air superiority. 1 Conference: DOCA Hill-Ogden Conference Notes March 1 - 3 2020 Resting adjacent and along a Western ridge of the Rocky Mountains, Hill Air Force Base looks to the west to views of the Great Salt Lake, and is cradled by mountains both east and west. Hill Air Force Base is an Air Force Material Command (AFMC) base located in northern Utah. It is the Air Force’s second largest space by population and geographic size, and is the home to many operational and support missions along with being the hub of activity for the depot maintenance of numerous aircraft and weapon systems.

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.
