March tankers ready 24/7 to support

Team March personnel are ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to support Operation NOBLE EAGLE (ONE),  which is air-sovereignty operations related to homeland defense and support to federal, state, and local agencies. This support can sometimes be for special events, like the Super Bowl.

The Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) is conducting ONE missions supporting Super Bowl 50 in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, Customs and Border Protection and local law enforcement. The CONR’s primary responsibility is to employ forces to deter, detect, and if necessary, defeat any airborne threat to the Super Bowl or other such special events.

Team March

Training with the California Air National Guard, a 452nd Air Mobility Wing KC-135 Stratotanker and its crew took to the skies over central California, January 26, to refuel an F-15 Eagle from the 144th Fighter Wing, located in Fresno. The mission was nothing out of the ordinary, nor has March been specifically tasked with supporting the Super Bowl 50 security detail with its refueling capabilities. But readiness is always maintained.

Like a football franchise, this is a total team effort. The teams playing in the upcoming Super Bowl have practiced and practiced, working together as a team to accomplish a single goal. Like them, the interagency teams came together to accomplish a single goal, to provide the air defense shield for this year’s big game.

Come Super Bowl Sunday, the FAA will institute a temporary-flight restriction (TFR) zone above Levi’s Stadium, location for this year’s game. The CONR’s air defenders enforce that TFR with air-defense assets. A tanker and its crew will be available to fuel the airborne defenders as needed. Other national and local assets provide air security for law enforcement purposes.

The Air Force mission is bigger than what you see for such events. As part of the air component representing the U.S. Air Force, behind the scenes there are maintainers, weapons loaders, controllers, aerial port personnel, and many others, representing more than just the ANG and Air Force Reserve. They also represent The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, while conducting national air defense operations. It’s a total-force effort, of which Team March is proudly a part.

Air Force implements additional security measures

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — In response to tragic events that have taken place on and off installations over the past few years, Air Force commanders can take additional measures to secure personnel and property on their installations through three programs that allow service members to carry weapons.

The Air Force Security Forces Integrated Defense team established and implemented the Unit Marshal, Security Forces Staff Arming and Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act programs that will enable commanders the ability to increase his or her force protection measures on their installations.

“We looked at active-shooter incidents across the country and there are statistics out there that show where many ended without police intervention because there was somebody there who had a concealed carry permit or somebody interdicted the active shooter,” said Maj. Keith Quick, the Air Force Security Forces Integrated Defense action officer. “These programs allow commanders the ability to arm additional trained Airmen who could interdict before police arrive and are trained to stand down when police arrive.”

The Unit Marshal Program is the newest of these tools designed to enable commanders at every level, when approved by the installation commander, permission to work with security forces to train Airmen and allow them to open carry an M9 pistol in their duty location.

“We are calling it a subset of the security forces augmentee program,” Quick said. “The traditional augmentee program was established for security forces squadrons that didn’t have enough personnel to cover installation security and we would ask for personnel from other work centers across the base.”

Unlike the security forces augmentee program, the UMP allows a squadron commander who has a perceived threat to request additional security. Now a commander can train and arm Airmen in their unit that would remain at the squadron doing their primary job but also provide security for the location.

Members selected for the program will attend a training course that includes sections on use of force, weapons retention and weapons training.

“The goal of the UMP is to protect them, their immediate work space and the people within it,” Quick stressed. “They are not first responders, they are not to go to the sound of fire, they are not to chase bad guys. If an active shooter happened, these members are not authorized to engage unless confronted directly by the active shooter.”

The second program is the Security Forces Staff Arming program that would enable more security forces members who work in staff billets at the squadron, group, wing or major command to carry a government-issued weapon while on duty with the approval of the installation commander.

Any Air Force security force member who has the appropriate Air Force specialty code and is current on all of their qualifications may qualify with the goal of putting trained defenders in places around the base where they could immediately interdict an active shooter or some type of other threat.

“If we can have a trained defender in the Base Exchange or commissary getting their lunch, or in the dry cleaners or library they can immediately interdict against an individual,” Quick said. “The goal is to have armed and trained service members carrying to respond if a need arises.”

The program that supports the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act also applies to security forces members both past and present. LEOSA is a federal act that provides credentials for law enforcement members to carry a concealed weapon to any state for personal protection against people who may want to harm them, as long as they obey state and local laws pertaining to firearms.

“The theory was that throughout their career they were arresting criminals, putting them in jail and creating enemies, and while they are allowed to carry in their jurisdictions they may not be able to go to another state or city and still have that same right to carry and defend themselves,” Quick said.

However, the Air Force now allows its members to request LEOSA credentialing. There is a list of criteria that a security force member must meet. Active-duty Airmen can apply if they have the security forces AFSC, work a security forces position and maintain current weapons qualifications. If an Airman is in the Reserves, Guard or retired they must fulfill a minimum service requirement and still maintain weapons qualification through their state’s requirements.

“This affects base personnel because we have given the option to the installation commander to allow security forces members to carry under LEOSA on the installation while they are off duty,” Quick said. “With installation commander’s approval, I could go to the commissary on Saturday and stay armed and concealed while conducting my business on the installation and leave … it’s not for work purposes.”

Commanders can use these formalized programs at their discretion; the Air Force Integrated Defense team is also looking at how to authorize a member of the Air Force who is assigned to duty at off-installation, center or facility to carry an appropriate firearm.

“None of these programs gives the installation commander authorizations they didn’t already have the authorization to do,” Quick said. “We are now formalizing it and telling them how they can use these types of programs more effectively.”

Baby steps to become better each day

0

As we start a new year we often make new resolutions. We will get in shape, we will lose weight, we will save money, we will finish college, we will enroll in PME, etc., etc. We start out strong and then after a short time we start to lose steam and start playing “let’s make a deal” with ourselves. The excuses start, everything gets pushed off, and we go back to the old pattern. You see it in the gym. January is packed and by mid-February the place is almost empty with just the familiar faces.

I have a suggestion….let’s not try to eat the elephant in one bite.

My point is it is good to have goals, but let’s take it one step at a time. Every day just try to improve on the day before. You don’t need to make a herculean leap, just a step better than you were yesterday. Weigh in at 200 today? Shoot for 199.9 tomorrow. Running for 25 minutes today? Make it 26 minutes tomorrow. You don’t have to do everything all at once and make a drastic change. You don’t have to try and beat everyone else at something, just strive to be better today than the guy or girl in the mirror was yesterday. 

It’s about progress not perfection…something to think about.

Licenses from five states banned at DOD bases

0

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — Defense Department installations will no longer accept driver’s licenses from Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Washington as proof of identity, DOD officials said.

Federal policy

The ban, which also includes licenses from American Samoa, is a consequence of the REAL ID Act of 2005.

The REAL ID Act grew out of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks — most of the terrorists involved had driver’s licenses from Florida and Virginia. Congress tightened up issuance processes and documentation needed to get a driver’s license. Compliant cards must have specific security features to prevent tampering, counterfeiting or duplication of the document. The licenses also must present data in a common, machine-readable format.

The REAL ID Act affects only access control policies where individuals are required to present an identification document for accessing federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants or boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft. The federal REAL ID Act implementation rules allow for exceptions, officials noted. For example, they explained life or safety issues such as medical emergencies and situations in which physical access is necessary to apply for benefits are two exceptions.

Those attempting to gain physical access to DOD installations must show an alternate form of identification, such as a passport, officials said. Service members, family members, DOD employees, and federal employees with the DOD Common Access Card, DOD uniformed services identification and privileges cards, federal personal identification verification cards or transportation workers’ identification credentials are not affected, officials said, as these cards are authorized in DOD policy to facilitate physical access to installations.

“All federal agencies including DOD must comply with the law regarding the use of REAL IDs for official purposes,” an official said. “For most DOD installations, an identification card or an installation pass is required to facilitate access. Hence, where an ID or an installation pass is used for physical access, DOD installations are prohibited from accepting driver’s licenses or state identification cards from states deemed non-REAL ID compliant.

“DOD policy allows commanders to waive the DOD access control requirements for special situations, circumstances, or emergencies,” the official said. “Therefore, installations may authorize other alternatives to facilitate installation access, such as a graduation ceremony guest list, escorts, etc.”

Blended Retirement

0

The Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) contains a new retirement system (“blended military retirement system”). This system combines a reduced defined benefit, like the current retirement system, with a defined contribution component (automatic plus matching contributions to a member’s Thrift Savings Plan account) and continuation pay. The blended retirement system uses a 2.0 percent rather than 2.5 percent multiplier in calculating military retired pay. Thus, a member who served 20 years would receive 40 percent of the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay, a Thrift Savings Plan account that contained government and optional member contributions, as well as continuation pay at the 12th year of service. Further details are available at afrc.af.mil, (see Headlines or search Blended Retirement Talking Points).

Local Daedalian flight presents 2016 scholoarships

The local chapter of a national fraternity of military pilots awarded scholarships to six, Southern California Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) cadets at a luncheon on March Air Reserve Base, January 13, 2016. The scholarships were presented by Brig. Gen. Russell Muncy commander, 452nd Air Mobility Wing, on behalf of 30th Flight of the National Order of Daedalians.

Among the leading scholarship winners is Michael Kampbell, a junior at California State University San Bernardino (CSUSB), who is pursuing a business administration major and carries a 3.62 GPA. Kampbell, who is currently serving as a recruiting squadron commander for CSUSB AFROTC Detachment 002, and coaches youth sports in his spare time, was awarded a $2,500 Scholarship, and he will be submitted to Daedalians National office for a matching $2,000 scholarship.

Cadet Joshua Arnold, a sophomore at CSUSB majoring in business administration, carries a 4.0 GPA, and was awarded a $2,500 Scholarship. Arnold is an honor guard commander for Det. 002 and he will be recommended for a matching Daedalian National Military Standing and Aptitude scholarship of $500.

Daniel Benson, a junior at Cal Baptist University pursuing a criminal justice major, carries a 3.77 GPA, and was awarded a $2,000 Scholarship. Benson is a Det. 002 cadet flight commander.

Daniel Kerry Cole, a senior at the University California Riverside, is a computer engineering major with a 2.78 GPA. He is a Det 002 training squadron commander and was awarded a $2,000 scholarship.

William Lewis, a senior at CSUSB majoring in criminal justice, holds a 3.66 GPA, is a Det. 002 previous flight commander, and was awarded a $2,000 scholarship.

Aden Vaugh, a junior at Chapman University majoring in political science, maintains a 2.91 GPA, is director of training and cadet squadron commander at the University of Southern California’s AFROTC Det. 060. He is also a member of the Robinson Risner Arnold Air Society, and was awarded a $2,000 Flight 30 scholarship.

There are 72 Daedalian Flights nationwide with about 13,000 members. Thirtieth Flight, also known as the Hap Arnold Flight, consists of approximately 170 members, meets monthly at March Field, and was named “Outstanding Flight” by the National Order in 2009, 2011 and 2013.

The Order, founded by World War I pilots, was named for Daedalus, the Greek mythological figure who fashioned wings of wax, string and feathers to escape from the island of Crete where he was being held prisoner.

The Hap Arnold Flight is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization and pursues scholarship fundraising activities during the year, among which is its Century Club. People donating $100 or more become members of the Century Club. Those donating $500 or more are designated “Aces.” All donations are tax deductible. In 2015 seventy-nine members, widows and friends donated more than $16,900 to the Scholarship Fund.

Scholarship applications are solicited from Southern California universities with ROTC programs. A scholarship committee screens applications and the most promising applicants are invited for an interview. Applicants are graded on criteria including scholastic achievement, intent to pursue a career as a military pilot, moral character, patriotism, and other military factors.

The Hap Arnold Flight also funds a program that provides flight training, including ground school and flight instruction for ROTC cadets enrolled in Southern California universities.

Donations from the community to 30th Flight’s Scholarship Fund are welcome. Checks may be made payable to: Order of Daedalians, 30th Flight, and mailed to 17050 Arnold Dr. Box H-101, Riverside, CA 92518. Enter “Scholarship Fund” in the Memo line.

Emergency need for blood donors following historic snowstorm

0

January is designated as National Blood Donor Month. As millions of residents dig out from the historic winter storm that slammed the East Coast this past weekend, the American Red Cross is facing an emergency need for blood and platelet donors. Severe winter weather since Jan. 1 has forced the cancellation of more than 300 blood drives in 20 states, resulting in approximately 9,500 donations uncollected, further depleting an already low winter supply.

The impact of this weekend’s winter storm continues to affect multiple states along the East Coast, and more blood drives will likely be cancelled. Right now, blood products are being distributed to hospitals as quickly as donations come in.

The Need for Blood Doesn’t Get a Snow Day

Even when Mother Nature strikes, the Red Cross still needs to collect approximately 14,000 blood and platelet donations each day for patients at about 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers nationwide. Blood and platelets are needed to respond to patient emergencies, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.

While winter weather wreaks havoc in some areas, others are enjoying clear skies and safe conditions. The Red Cross has the ability to move blood products where and when they are needed most, so donors in unaffected areas are encouraged to make and keep blood and platelet donation appointments. Donors in weather affected areas are urged to give blood or platelets once travel is deemed safe.

Roll Up a Sleeve – All Blood Types Needed

All blood types are needed to help ensure a sufficient blood supply is available for patients. Eligible donors with types O, B negative and A negative blood are encouraged to donate double red cells where available.

There is also an emergency need for platelet donors to make and keep appointments to give. Platelets – a key clotting component of blood often needed by cancer patients – must be transfused within five days of donation, so donations are always needed.

In addition, eligible donors with type AB blood are urgently needed to donate, especially platelets where available. Type AB is the universal plasma type, suitable for patients of all blood types. Plasma helps maintain blood pressure and supplies critical proteins for clotting and immunity. It is often needed for burn, trauma and clotting factor deficiency patients and can be given during a platelet donation.

Schedule an Appointment to Donate Today

To make an appointment to donate blood or platelets, download the Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, from a home or work computer prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.
