“The RSSC’s are where the rubber hits the road for providing SATCOM capabilities to the warfighter,” said Steve Baize, payload management deputy director for the 4th SOPS. “They organize efficient use of satellite resources and provide a single point of contact for satellite communication expertise. The RSSCs are located close to support the combatant commands and serve as the local subject matter expert for Milstar, and Advanced EHF.” Located at Wheeler Army Air Field, Hawaii, about 30 minutes from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, the site is small in stature, but large in responsibility. “A lot of people think we operate on this large ops floor, so when I tell them I only have one protected SATCOM planner per shift they’re surprised,” said Jeffery Kershner, protected cell chief for OL-D. Six personnel currently man OL-D and execute the mission. Manpower is a big concern, but the dedicated personnel ensure the warfighter has the satellite resources to communicate and accomplish the mission. Despite the small numbers, Kershner stressed the support from 4th SOPS, and other RSSC’s, has enabled the mission to be met with zero-failure. “If we ever have any issues on our end, we know we can reach out to another RSSC to help with satellite beam moves, network activations or resource monitoring review,” he said. One of the valuable tools the 4th SOPS provides is

the Communications Asset Monitoring, or CAM, data.

Schriever Sentinel September 6, 2018 5 IG gets show on the road

By Tech. Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 50th Space Wing Inspector General’s office kicked off a roadshow to educate units about their role in the inspection process at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Aug. 30. The first of several roadshows scheduled throughout the remainder of the year targeted the 50th Mission Support Group and Wing Staff Agencies. “We want people to fully understand what we do and what their role is within the Commander’s Inspection Program,” said Capt. Joseph Villalpando, exercise program manager for the 50th SW IG. Air Force inspections, which are facilitated by the Inspector General, fall underneath the Air Force Inspection System. Their purpose is to promote commanders’ effectiveness and efficiency, improve discipline and performance and identify issues. In order to meet these objectives, inspectors and units rely on the CCIP. “The purpose of the CCIP is to improve readiness, efficiency, discipline, effectiveness, compliance and surety in Air Force wings while allowing commanders the ability to assess their own unique mission sets,” Villalpando said. Villalpando said in years past there used to be a mindset of “shine everything up for inspection and hide our weak areas.” U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.

By Meaghan Dorroh Air Force Space Command PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Air Force Space Command inducted four innovators into the Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame Aug. 28. The 2018 honorees — retired Brig. Gen. Joseph D. Mirth, retired Col. Robert W. “Rob” Roy, Dr. Gladys B. West and Mr. William N. Barker — were recognized for their notable contributions to the space and missile programs that the Air Force uses today. The inductees and their families were greeted by more than 100 attendees at the Hall of Fame luncheon that was presided over by Gen. Jay Raymond, commander of AFSPC and Joint Force Space Component Commander. “The pioneers that we’re honoring today broke many, many barriers — social, technological and scientific,” Raymond said. “And in doing so, they not only impacted the space community, but their achievements have made a significant global impact.” Mirth was involved in the development and production of the Corona, Samos, and Midas satellites, and the Agent upper-stage vehicle, at what was Lockheed Missiles and Space Company in Sunnyvale, California as a lieutenant in 1959.
