According to a report released Dec. 19, the State of Florida Auditor General conducted an “Information Technology Operational Audit” of computer and information processing systems at the college during May through August, 2017. The audit found that college “IT security con- trols related to user authentication, user account management, and logging and monitoring need improvement to ensure the confidentiality, integri- ty, and availability of college data and IT resources.” In a summary of the report, auditors stated, “This operational audit focused on evaluating selected information technology (IT) controls applicable to the Ellucian Banner Enterprise Resource Planning (Banner ERP) system and the Ellucian Luminis Platform software (portal). The audit “disclosed areas in which improvements in Northwest Florida State College controls and oper- ational processes are needed.” “We recommend that the College management improve certain security controls related to user authentication, user account management, and log- ging and monitoring to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of College data and IT resources,” the report stated. The Niceville-based community college responded that it has made the improvements. The objectives of the audit, said the report, were: —“To evaluate the effectiveness of selected IT controls in achieving managements control objec- tives in the categories of compliance with control- Please see NWFSC, page A-2 Area waterways and parks were quieter than usual last weekend due to chilly temperatures, which formed a thin layer of ice over at least one Rocky Bayou inlet.

  • Boom on the Range by Aaron M
    Eglin’s sprawling test range is evolving to keep pace with today’s smarter, smaller weapons. Boom on the Range By Aaron M. U. Church, Associate Editor 30 AIR FORCE M agazine / November 2015 he Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range is considered one of the crown jewels of the Air Force. The enormous land-and- water range plays host to every phase of an aerial weapon’s life, from development and testing through operational use, Tand the service is determined to preserve this unique capability for weapon evaluation. Overseen by the 96th Test Wing at Eglin AFB, Fla., the range covers some 724 square miles of the Florida panhandle, and its overwater expanse stretches the length of Florida from Key West to Eglin, encompassing a mind-boggling 120,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico. It is the Defense Department’s largest range. “We truly believe this is ... one of the nation’s treasures,” 96th Range Group Director Richard Ulrich said in a recent interview. The Air Force wants to “protect this capability for our country,” provid- ing the means to test the next generation of cutting-edge weapons, he said. Longer ranged “standoff” and future hypersonic weapons demand more room for testing. The Small Diameter Bomb II is one of the new wave of weapons pushing the range to advance and expand. “This is one of our first adverse-weather weapons that’s able to acquire, track, and defeat” moving targets, said James F. Carter, miniature-munitions engineering director of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Armament Directorate.

  • Tuskegee Airmen Chronology
    TUSKEGEE AIRMEN CHRONOLOGY DANIEL L. HAULMAN ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY BRANCH AIR FORCE HISTORICAL RESEARCH AGENCY MAXWELL AFB, AL 36112-6424 24 November 2015 1 A TUSKEGEE AIRMEN CHRONOLOGY INTRODUCTION For decades after World War II, the first black pilots in American military history were relatively unknown. Americans became increasingly aware of the contributions of African Americans to their cultural heritage during and after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. By the end of the twentieth century, the “Tuskegee Airmen” had become famous in newspaper and magazine articles, books, films, television programs, and museum exhibits. Unfortunately, their story was told not only by historians using primary source documents, but also by others less familiar with history than with legend. A number of false claims circulated, many of them based on an ignorance of the chronological sequence of events that formed the skeleton of the true story. This book is an effort to provide a framework for Tuskegee Airmen history while at the same time revealing their historically significant accomplishments. Having worked at the Air Force Historical Research Agency for more than thirty-two years, I have developed an appreciation for the invaluable collection of documents on Army Air Forces organizations in World War II that is maintained there. Many of the documents describe the most famous Tuskegee Airmen organizations such as the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter Squadrons that were assigned to the 332nd Fighter Group during World War II, which escorted American B-17 and B-24 bombers over Nazi targets in central Europe, its pilots flying red-tailed P-51 Mustangs.

In the event deterrence fails, we must execute the war swiftly and decisively. The United States must be Oprepared to fight conflicts across all spectrums and in all arenas. The Air Force, through Air Combat Command (ACC), is prepared to provide combat aircraft for these conflicts. ACC doesn’t act alone. Throughout the post-Cold War era, airlift has been at the center of military operations ranging from the massive airlift during DESERT SHIELD to airlift support for OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. Air Mobility Command (AMC) lies at the heart of the Air Force’s airlift capability and is critical to our national security. Both ACC and AMC rely heavily on another command, Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), to accomplish their mission.
