Career Field Updates . 50 Released) Civil Engineers Embrace Rapid Change as the New Normal In the last year, Civil Engineers have faced a number of changes brought on by fiscal uncertainty and manpower reductions. Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel’s directive to reduce headquarters costs by 20 percent challenged the Air Force to take bold steps to restructure its headquarters organization and centralize a number of functions. The Directorate of Civil Engineers responded by streamlining the Air Staff from six divisions into five. The Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics, Installations, and Mission Support also consolidated and in the process changed its office symbol from the AF/A4/7 to the AF/A4 which more closely aligned to the Joint Staff organi- zational construct. Most notably, the provisional Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center was activated, centralizing installation management and expedition- ary support activities previously performed at each of the MAJCOMs. Amid the ongoing transformations across the engineer enterprise, Civil Engineers have continued to enable the mission through effective establishment, sustainment, operations, recovery and protection of combat platforms while maintaining our core values. Our Airmen are constantly finding ways to do things smarter, cheaper and faster. This past year, Fire Emergency Services implemented bold plans to modern- ize vehicles and introduce a new manpower standard. Our Emergency Management team upgraded its training programs to better prepare Airmen, and did it using Plaques from the 466th Operating Location Bravo Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight are prepared orf packing at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan fewer resources.

At This year also brought us reasons to celebrate Air Force Civil Engineer contributions to warfighters across the globe. This October the same time, we honor our proud heritage and legacy, built marked the 50th anniversary of Prime BEEF, an event we will be commemorating through next October when RED HORSE will also through decades of hard work by Aviation Engineers from all of reach its 50th anniversary. The rapid response capabilities of Prime BEEF, along with the mobile team concept we’ve perfected our AFSCs. I encourage you to continue the great work you’re over five decades of deployments, are part of why CE is so frequently requested when the nation faces a crisis, whether a humani- doing in the year to come. The valor and dedication you dem- tarian disaster or armed conflict. onstrate every day proves that CE is up to this task! The Fall 2014 edition of this magazine featured Prime BEEF, describing the importance of the program to aviation history and to Timothy S . Green today’s Air Force. We’re also celebrating with a website devoted to the anniversaries, and by producing a video series featuring Brigadier General, USAF Prime BEEF veterans. Prime BEEF and RED HORSE are an important part of our collective legacy, and I encourage you to take this Director of Civil Engineers opportunity to learn about their place in our history. Another cause for celebration was the return of the last Air Force EOD units from Afghanistan this September, after 12 long years of support for combatant commanders in Operations IRAQI FREEDOM, ENDURING FREEDOM and NEW DAWN. Over the course of 12 years, EOD Airmen completed 55,847 missions and responded to 19,946 IEDs, all while withstanding a grueling deployment cycle. Their success is a testament to the capabilities, training and resiliency of Air Force EOD operators, and to the support of their families and the Total Force home station team. As we celebrate the achievements of our Airmen, we must remember that our successes come at a price. We’ll always remember the Airmen whose lives were lost during OEF and OIF/OND, and offer our support for the many wounded warriors that are part of our Air Force family. I want to commend you for your patience and continued commitment to enabling the mission during this period of intense organizational change, especially those on MAJCOM staffs. As Secretary of Defense Deborah Lee James said in her State of the Air Force address in September, “All of you need to help us maintain momentum, seize that concept of strategic agility and push boldly into the future.” 4 Air Force Civil Engineer Almanac Vol. 22/4, 2014 Air Force Civil Engineer Almanac Vol. 22/4, 2014 5 Air Force Civil Engineers Deputy Air Force Civil Engineers The duty titles for the individuals pictured reflect their changing responsibilities, the development of the career field and the transformation of the Air Force since 1944. 1963-1969 1969-1975 1975-1991 1991-1999 1999-2014 2014-Present Associate Deputy Associate Director Associate Director of Associate Air Force Deputy Air Force Civil Deputy Air Force Civil 1944-1949 Director of Air Installations 1957-1959 Director of Installations 1991 to 2014 The Civil Engineer Director for of Civil Engineering Engineering and Services Civil Engineer Engineer Engineer 1949-1954 Director of Installations 1959-1975 Director of Civil Engineering 2014 to Present Director of Civil Engineers Construction 1954-1957 Assistant Chief of Staff, Installations 1975-1991 Director of Engineering and Services 1963–1969 1969–1972 1973–1985 1985–1994 Brig Gen Robert Kauch Maj Gen Colby M.

  • Still Serving Joining Digital World Call-Ins Day Late And
    Published by 11th Wing Retiree Activities Offices, National Capital Area June 2014 STILL SERVING JOINING DIGITAL WORLD Baseball legend Satchel Paige warned, “Don’t look back, something might be gaining on you.” Ole Satch was right on the money. A year ago, it appeared that increased mail costs would limit distribution of this publication to the Internet. Col. John Moser, director of Retiree Activities Offices at Andrews and Bolling refused to “look back,” and was able to negotiate another year of home mail delivery to nearly 30,000 Air Force retirees and surviving spouses in the National Capital Area. But the budget staff not only looked back, it looked ahead and concluded that increased costs of Still Serving mail delivery to be among necessary cuts in operational expenditures. Thus, effective with our October issue, newsletter readers will remain informed on subjects of interest to the retiree community through the magic of cyberspace. Those without home computers are encouraged to seek assistance of friends, family members and public outlets such as neighborhood libraries and senior centers. Still Serving will be provided on line during the first week of February, June and October. Plans call for additional “bulletins” to be made available in intervening months on the same electronic outlets. Still Serving remains available through the Andrews website -- Andrews.af.mil -- linking to “Retiree Activities Office,” through the courtesy of the 11th Wing Public Affairs Office. At Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, the Navy Public Affairs Office makes Still Serving available through its page on DoD’s video center -- tinyurl.com/jbabnews. An open invitation exists for other websites to get on board for this outreach to the area’s military retiree community.

    July07 Prespage Hastings.qxd 6/4/2007 7:08 PM Page 1 President’s Page I have just returned from our Annual Scientific Meeting in New Orleans. There were some glitches re- lated to the late shifting of all functions to one hotel due to construction activities, for which I apologize. None- theless, I feel the meeting was a great success. There is no experience that matches meeting with one's colleagues from around the globe. I came into New Orleans from the east, where the brunt of Hurricane Katrina was experienced. Seeing the devastation and trying to imagine the despair that ac- companied it, I asked the taxi driver about the spirit of the people of New Orleans. He answered immediately that it was positive, enthusiastic, and hopeful. That warmed my heart. Some meeting participants arrived John D. Hastings, M.D. early and joined a Habitat for Humanity effort for the city; no doubt they felt that spirit.

  • 36Th Commencement Exercises Saturday, the Sixteenth of May · Two Thousand Fifteen
    Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences “Learning to Care for Those in Harm’s Way” 36th Commencement Exercises Saturday, the Sixteenth of May · Two Thousand Fifteen The Mace he mace was a weapon of war originating with the loaded club and stone Thammer of primitive man. Although it continued to be used as a weapon through the Middle Ages, during this period it also became symbolic as an ornament representing power. Sergeants-at-Arms, who were guards of kings and other high officials, carried a mace to protect their monarch during processions. By the 14th century, the mace had become more ceremonial in use and was decorated with jewels and precious metals, losing its war-club appearance. Three hundred years later, the mace was used solely as a symbol of authority. The mace is used during sessions of legislative assemblies such as the U.S. House of Representatives, where it is placed to the right of the Speaker. More frequently, maces are seen at university commencements and convocations, exemplifying knowledge as power. The USU mace was a glorious gift from the Honorable Sam Nixon, MD, past chairman of the Board of Regents, and his wife, Elizabeth. The mace was used for the first time at the 1995 commencement ceremony. It is handcrafted in sterling silver and carries the seal of the university along with the emblems of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Public Health Service. The university seal and service emblems are superimposed on the earth’s globe to symbolize the worldwide mission of the university and its graduates.
