Thursday, June 21, 2018 Vol. 62 No. 25 US Airmen teach aircraft recovery to Chilean Air Force partners By Staff Sgt. Angela Ruiz 12th Air Force (Air Forces Southern)

ANTOFAGASTA, Chile (AFNS) — Twelfth Air Force (Air Forces Southern) sent a Mobile Training Team to Chile to con- duct training with the Chilean Air Force on Crash Damaged Disabled Aircraft Recovery, May 13 to June 8, 2018. The CDDAR Mobile Training Team consisted of four seasoned crew chiefs who have experienced being an aircraft crash team chief. The crew chiefs hailed from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona; Hill AFB, Utah and Peterson AFB, Colorado. The team traveled from the U.S. to the 3rd Aviation Group at Los Condores Air Force Base in Iquique, Chile and then to the 5th Air Brigade Maintenance Group at Cerro Moreno Air Base in Antofagasta, Chile. “I view the MTTs as a key tool in our Security Cooperation apparatus,” said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Hector L. Gonzalez, Embassy Santiago, Chile, Theater Security Cooperation Air Force section chief. Gonzalez explained that the MTTs are requested and funded by the Chilean Air Force. “By us being able to provide assistance in an area that they feel a need to improve, we’re building that partnership, that relationship.” U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Michael Powell, 388th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Mobile Training Team member, ex- plained that the MTT taught the basic principles of how to (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Airmen across Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado observed Arbor Day, June 15, 2018. To celebrate, Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Jacob Simmons, 21 SW command chief received the Tree City USA Annual Growth Award, at the wing headquarters building. Andy Schlosberg, Colorado State Forest Services forester, presented the award to Moore, Simmons, and Dan Rodriguez, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron deputy base civil engineer and children from the R.P. Lee Youth Center at Peterson AFB. “Arbor Day reminds people of the importance of the environment they’re living in, and making the community a nicer place to live,” said Schlosberg. Peterson AFB was awarded the Annual Growth Award under the Tree City USA program by the Colorado State Forest Service, an award it has won every year since 1994. The Tree City USA program began in 1976, and is a nationwide program that provides guidance for communities to manage and expand its public tree populations. (U.S. Air Force photos by 2nd Lt.

By Audrey Jensen 21st Space Wing Public Affairs

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Anna Halula- Busby, 21st Medical Group nurse case manager, laid awake at night looking at a picture of the family who would never be the same if they didn’t get the help they needed. For any hope of a better life, Halula-Busby knew her patient needed to have a specific surgery so he could comfortably use a prosthetic after his accident. If it didn’t happen, she knew life would be difficult for him. As a nurse case manager, Halula-Busby’s job means help- ing patients who have the most complications, educating patients on their resources, getting the patient where they need to go and cutting through red tape to speed along the process, she said. In this case, Halula-Busby’s patient fell from a significant height while working an outside job. The patient had multiple surgeries and a lot of complications, she said. “He had a lot of injuries and he went to the hospital in a helicopter,” she said. “It should have been fatal. It would have been fatal for most people.” After the Airman had the initial surgery to save his life, (U.S. Air Force photo by Audrey Jensen) the next step was figuring out what the surgeon needed to Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. – Anna Halula-Busby, 21st Medical Group nurse case manager, worked to get an Airman from Peterson Air Force do so he could comfortably use a prosthetic.

The two-week CDDAR course was instructed in English , the same as the U.S. Air Force CDDAR course. This was an opportunity for the Chilean Airmen to practice speaking in English as they already often read in English, since their aircraft technical orders are the same as the U.S. Air Force. “The course being in English actually helped me,” said Chilean Air Force Airman Gonzalo Payacan, 5th Air Brigade Maintenance Group F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chief. “All of the Technical orders of my specialty are written in English. The course helps me prepare when needed.” Throughout the training course, the Chilean Airmen were given classroom instruction covering an aircraft re- covery plan, personnel protective equipment, and CDDAR operation followed by hands on training.

The Chilean Airmen hailed from F-16 maintenance career fields to include: crew chiefs, jet engine mechanics, sheet metal technicians, avionics mechanics, safety non commissioned officers, egress tech- nicians, non-destruction inspection technicians, aircrew flight equipment technicians, maintenance officers and quality assurance inspectors. “It’s very important we interact with different aircraft specialties when we need to pick up an aircraft,” said Chilean Air Force Tech. Sgt. Benjamin Zepeda, 5th Air Brigade Maintenance Group F-16 Fighting Falcon crew chief. “They will have different viewpoints and they are going to be the ones lifting the aircraft.” Upon completing the final objective, U.S. and Chilean Airmen conducted a team debrief over what went well and what could’ve been improved.

By Mark C. Lyle Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Public Affairs

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFNS) — The Air Force’s new Employee Assistance Program pro- vides civilian employees and their families with free, con- fidential resources and support to help manage normal ev- eryday life challenges that may affect job performance and personal well-being. The AF EAP/Worklife4You bundle of services and resourc- es provides support on two levels: AF EAP provides coun- seling, financial and legal services, whereas Worklife4you provides a “concierge-like” service to help assist with every day stressors, no matter how large or small. Additionally, individuals have access 24/7 via 1-800-222-0364 and online. Because of its large civilian population, Wright-Patterson actually has an AF EAP counselor located on the installa- tion who regularly sees employees. However, Danna Plewe, the Air Force EAP Program Manager, said “Depending on the need, employees have the option to ask for an off-base affiliate provider by calling the 1-800 number.” An affiliate provider is a licensed, credentialed profession- al in the community who is authorized to provide up to 6 counseling sessions, per topic, at no cost to the employee. The Air Force has about 22,000 affiliate providers worldwide and can provide services in up to 80 languages. According to Plewe, AF EAP is not just a service people should utilize when there is a crisis, but at any time they (U.S. Air Force photo/Scott M. Ash) might need help.
