McLoney 6th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs The 6th Medical Group laboratory recently achieved their civilian accreditation by passing a no-notice inspection by the College of American Pathologists. Master Sgt. Kelly Adler, the 6th MDG labo- ratory flight chief explained, by passing this in- spection and receiving the civilian accreditation, the group demonstrated the ability to turn out accurate, reliable results comparable to its civil- ian peers and even surpassed the standards of the CAP. The CAP inspection includes a checklist of 4,000 items and a no-notice, on-site review of the medical processes to verify how the medical clin- ic is performing. The inspection varies from base to base, and includes individual requirements for testing, training requirements before reporting patient results, laboratory safety, control tests and criti- cal value procedures.

    Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks to United States Servicemembers at Royal Air Force Mildenhall in Suffolk, United Kingdom June 9, 2021 Hello, Mildenhall! Colonel, thank you for that introduction and your service leading this team in such a difficult time. Because we know that it's the whole family who serves, I also want to thank Melissa. I know—I know your next assignment at U.S. Transportation Command starts soon. So congratulations, and thank you, thank you, thank you. And, Sydney, you're 14 years old. When I was 14, if you—please, at ease. [Laughter] I keep forgetting I'm President. [Laughter] When I was 14 years old, I would have been—I mean this sincerely—scared to death to stand up in front of a microphone, in a large crowd or small crowd. See, when I was a child, I used to stutter badly, for real. I had great difficulty speaking in front of other people. And so I expect that when you're President, you'll remember me. [Laughter] You'll remember me. You're, really, quite a polished young woman. Thank you. And you know, it's got to be hard to have your dad deployed in Afghanistan. And I also know how proud you are of him and your mom, Chief Master Sergeant, for being part of the leadership team here. Our son Beau served as a U.S. attorney for a while in Kosovo for a while. Matter of fact, they erected a war monument to him. And then, he went on, and he joined the National Guard.

  • Anatomy of a Reform the Expeditionary Aerospace Force

    Anatomy of a Reform the Expeditionary Aerospace Force

    ANATOMY OF A REFORM THE EXPEDITIONARY AEROSPACE FORCE Richard G. Davis Air Force History and Museums Program 2003 FOREWORD SINCE MY ASSIGNMENT as Chief of Staff in October 1997, I have worked to bring the USAF into line with the realities of the post–Cold War era. Since 1991, the service has lost two-thirds of its foreign bases and one-third of its force structure and personnel. Yet our nation’s strategy of selective engagement dic- tated that the service be ready to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major theater wars, while maintaining its commitments to a growing string of small- scale contingencies. The mismatch between resources and requirements was forcing the men and women of the USAF into a lifestyle characterized by high personnel tempo at the expense of family life. Drops in retention rates and recruitment indicated that the situation, if allowed to go unchecked, would soon reach serious proportions. The answer was to create the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) — a new way of doing business that improved predictability and stability in personnel assignments and furnished the service with a powerful management tool to more efficiently align its assets with the needs of the warfighting Commanders in Chief. Fortunately, my predecessor had already poured the footings of the con- cept by beginning development of expeditionary forces for employment in Southwest Asia and elsewhere. EAF was an idea whose time had come, and on August 4, 1998, Acting Air Force Secretary F. Whitten Peters and I announced that the time for development had passed and that the USAF would now move as rapidly as possible toward full implementation.

Both the Trump administration and that which Biden ANALYSIS served saw the region’s tangled conflicts and yearned for an escape. Neither managed to do it. Instead, U.S. air campaigns intensified, and U.S. troops remain deployed across numerous countries. For all its stated desire to disentangle itself from the Middle East, Washing- ton has a hard time letting go. But Biden and Trump represent two markedly different futures for some of the region’s political elites, especially the leadership in Israel and a clutch of oil-rich Arab monarchies.

Many of us had the opportunity for a short or long overseas tour before overseas deployments became an option for Missileers. I was in Florennes, Belgium, Charlie was in Comiso, Italy and others enjoyed Wuscheim, Germany, Woensdrecht, Netherlands, as well as Molesworth and Greenham Common, England. We all experienced a new kind of field training at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ! For Missileers, going overseas was a unique experience that some sought, and others were assigned.
