Arnold Air Force Base PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID TULLAHOMA TN Vol. 65, No. 23 Arnold AFB, Tenn. PERMIT NO. 29 December 3, 2018 Machinists provide critical support to facilities By Deidre Ortiz AEDC Public Affairs Machinists at Arnold Air Force Base are es- sential to the AEDC mis- sion, making sure that the facilities and test cells are running efficiently and ef- fectively to meet the needs of test customers. Though rarely in the spotlight for their work, the outside machinists working in the shop at the Base Civil Engineering Building complete tasks that are important to the daily operations at Arnold. According to John Richardson, superinten- dent of the BCE crew, his team conducts preven- tative maintenance and repairs on all the over- head cranes and performs regular utility mechanical maintenance. “When there is any cooling water or potable water mechanical repairs, the Civil Engineering ma- Jeff Youngblood, machinist, operates a lathe in the Base Civil Engineering machine shop at Arnold Air Force Base.

Middle school through college-level students from throughout the state of New Mexico attended the Sept. 27 event at Al- amogordo-White Sands Regional Airport to learn about careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students also received a hands-on look at these STEM careers and training opportunities, with aviation aircraft, military aircraft, higher education institutions, science demonstra- tions, flight training schools and other mili- tary displays made available to them at the event. According to Heather Kangas, the STEM outreach coordinator for the 704 TG, a great deal of work goes into making the NMAAA Career Expo a successful event, which was attended by more than 2,900 stu- dents in 2017. “There are hundreds of volunteers that support the Career Expo, from setting up to manning the booths and planes,” she said. “It takes a lot of behind the scenes work to get it all done. We have school officials, teachers, military and contractor personnel involved, so a big conglomerate of people who come together to make sure it all runs smoothly.” Kangas, who was on the planning com- mittee for this year’s event, stated members of the 704 TG helped man several stations The 746th Test Squadron’s High Powered Jammer, which is used for navigational warfare, was on display at the New Mexico Aviation Aerospace Association Career Expo held recently at Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport.

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.

  • 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.
