VOL. 8, NO. 14 APRIL 6, 2006 Colorado Springs, Colo. www.schriever.af.mil Combat skills prepare Airmen for deployment Staff Sgt. Don Branum 50th Space Wing Public Affairs What difference does Expeditionary Combat Skills train- ing make for Airmen who are preparing to deploy? For one satellite systems operator with the 4th Space Operations Squadron here, the answer is: a big one. “I feel better prepared now than before,” Senior Airman Dale Harris said. “If your career field doesn’t deploy, you should get this kind of refresher training every couple of years.” Airman Harris was one of 100 Airmen who participated in a Wing Expeditionary Readiness Inspection here March 14 to 16. He will deploy with Aerospace Expeditionary Forces 3 and 4. The WERI was the first deployment training environment Airman Harris had experienced since Basic Military Training’s Warrior Week at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The ECS training included convoy training, improvised explosive device awareness, individual tactical maneuvers, M-16 familiarization, rifle fighting and integrated base defense. “They made it realistic—like it would be out in the field, not like we were sitting in a tent all day,” he said. Airman Harris’ appraisal is not the only positive review the combat training has received. Several Airmen photo by Kim Kruis-Johnson approached Lt. Col.

Effective Jan. 1, Airmen taking a fitness assessment will have an altitude adjustment added to their run or walk time. “It applies to any of the bases that are over 5,000 feet,” said Senior Master Sgt. Jennifer Brembah, Air Force Space Command’s command functional for food, fitness and lodging. The Air Force Academy’s Human Performance Laboratory initiated a study of the cardio-respiratory performance at sea level versus 7,200 feet, the altitude at the Academy. “Due to atmospheric pressure, there is a significant difference in oxygen content at sea level (26.5 percent) than there is at 7,200 feet (20.9 percent),” said A.L. Wile, director of the Human Performance Laboratory. “The (Colorado Altitude Tent) gives us the capability to simu- late 26.5 percent oxygen content at sea level and test our subjects in both environments.” The test was conducted with 55 non-smoking male and female participants who had lived in Colorado Springs for at least six weeks. The participants each ran 1.5 miles in the CAT, which can simulate both sea level and high- (U.S. Air Force photo/Abner Guzman) See Altitude page 11 The Air Force has reinstated an altitude adjustment for Airmen testing in high-altitude locations.

PERMIT NO. 29 October 21, 2019 Team members’ innovative methods advance test operations for AEDC hypersonic propulsion facility By Deidre Ortiz AEDC Public Affairs Improvements by team members of the AEDC Aerodynamics and Propulsion Test Unit (APTU) at Arnold Air Force Base have prevented unscheduled downtime and avoided equipment damage at the facility. Adam Webb, an electrical engineer for the Test Operations and Sustainment (TOS) contractor, National Aerospace Solutions, improved upon software for the rectifiers by enabling it to detect an unsafe condition and restore the rectifier to normal operations, preventing damage to expensive equipment. A rectifier is an electrical device that con- verts alternating current to direct current. The software was successful during a re- cent APTU test, when one of the rectifiers went into an un-commanded runaway. “A runaway is when the output current increases significantly above the set point value,” Webb said. “If left unchecked, it can cause the APTU Facility Control Sys- tem to trip the heated fuel system offline. This results in an unplanned early test ter- mination, possible damage to the Heated Fuel System and a required repeat of the test conditions.
