Caring made all the difference.A year ago, an Afghan colonel’s perspec-

tive on women was bordering chauvinistic, maybe rooted from his country’s culture and history. He didn’t want to work with a woman because they “don’t understand.”

Then he met an American lieutenant.First Lt. Marcianna Pease deployed to

Afghanistan August 2012 for a year-long tour as the biometric advisor for the Afghan Ministry of Interior. The biometrics program had been established in 2008 to collect the fingerprints, iris scans and facial images of Afghan national security forces, prison-ers in jail, arrest suspects, Afghan Peace and Reconciliation Program participants, Pakistani truck drivers under the Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trucker Agreement, civil service job applicants and any border cross-ers. The purpose of the program is to provide evidence in support of criminal investigations and prosecutions, and to keep criminals and insurgents from infiltrating the Afghan army and police force.

“We would give our advice to our Afghan counterparts and help expand the program,” Pease said. “It’s really important for the coali-tion. If any of the bad guys try to join the mili-tary, the biometrics program would know.”

Initially, Pease’s knowledge of the program was limited. She is a 50th Operations Support Squadron Wideband Global SATCOM satel-lite instructor by trade. The Killeen, Texas, native teaches new Airmen unit specific op-erations following their generalized training at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

As an instructor, Pease ensures the stu-dents can perform tasks on their own. She makes sure the students receive real-world experience on the operations floor and they are current on their training.

“I expect instructors in my flight to not only train students on how to properly do their job, but to also be an example of excel-lence through championing professionalism, physical fitness and the core values,” said Capt. John Paek, 50 OSS Current Operations Flight commander. “Lieutenant Pease not only met these expectations, but exceeded

As the Air Force contin-ues to introduce follow-on satellites to its space constel-lations, older legacy vehicles tend to lose a bit of their prestige. In many instances, the newer vehicles are light years ahead in technology. They hold more capability, are more robust and easier to operate. However, legacy versions continue to provide mission capability.

The Defense Satellite Communications System B6 satellite reaches its 10-year anniversary today. As the men and women of the 3rd Space Operations Squadron celebrate that milestone they also recognize the space-craft’s outstanding service and continued effectiveness.

Commentary by Col. Jeffrey Mineo310th Space Wing commander

When asked to provide commentary on a subject of my choice, it took me about 10 seconds to pick a topic — the value of the Air Force Reserve in space today. The joining of 310th Space Wing “Citizen Airmen” alongside our regular Air Force mission partners across Air Force Space Command bases strengthens an important relationship needed for combat-ant command warfighting capabilities. We need to build on that momentum by recogniz-ing the Air Force Reserve values and pursuing further efficient integration of reservists in the right space missions.

In today’s fiscally-constrained environment and with continuing defense budget pressures, there is a renewed emphasis to operate effi-ciently now more than ever; while not com-promising mission capability. With space so foundational to military operations at large, integrating the citizen Airman is critical and must be balanced proportionately with our regular Air Force partners. I can think of no catalyst more relevant or suitable in this day and age than the traditional reservist, the volunteer, part-time Airman who makes up the preponderance of our Reserve forces and who remains committed to answering his or her nation’s call.

The 310 SW is performing two Reserve func-tions in support of AFSPC missions. On one hand, we’re an operational force that helps produce the higher “steady state” of space ca-pability that today’s warfighters require. The active-duty component would be hard pressed to achieve this same high level of capability without the Reserve. Most don’t know that on any given day, 40 percent of 310 SW conducts AFSPC missions, with some units at even higher percentages. On the other hand, we’re a strategic Reserve depended on to always be

prepared to fill surge needs for defined chunks of time, whether it’s a few weeks, months or longer. This is where efficiency comes in — it’s a lot more efficient to have the capacity to surge whenever needed than to enlarge the full-time force. With close to half of 310 SW currently activated, AFSPC may essentially draw from the remaining 60 percent of our wing’s capacity. We save precious taxpayer dollars standing up additional Reserve forces only when mobilized or voluntarily activated and placed on the full-time payroll.

With more than 130 total-force initiatives, or “TFIs” — an associated Reserve and regular Air Force unit performing one mission to-gether — 310 SW oversees 10 of these TFIs. We partner with the 21st, 50th and 460th Space Wings, the 614th Air and Space Operations Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration as well as both the Air Force Warfare and Space Education and Training Centers. These successful TFIs will continue to be the benchmark and the lens through which we will look at space missions. The rel-evance of Reserve forces in space naturally increases as we evolve into a leaner total force. In fact, there is a more compelling need to-day than ever before to increase the Reserve presence in space and find more of these TFI opportunities.

In comparison, our reservists typically have five more years of experience than our regular Air Force counterparts. This varies by mission and rank, but generally holds true in all our associations. The value of our experience is not the incremental increase in pay for time in service that one sees in the salary tables; rather, our value is inherent in a continuum of time spent learning lessons, honing mission skills and providing continuity in the space mission. The youth and vibrancy of the regular Air Force member coupled with the chiseled and grizzled reservist makes for a powerful total force punch. We can’t ignore that. Nor can we ignore the fact that so many of our reservists bring instant leadership, manage-ment and technical skills from their civilian sector space industry jobs. Taxpayers don’t pay a cent for this civilian work experience, yet it translates into a deep bench of Reserve space operators with a much wider perspective of military operations and space expertise.

By nature, TFIs and Air Force reservists in space demand a paradox of familiarity with change. As the Air Force reacts to budgetary pressures and further evolves, it naturally be-comes more dependent on the reservists skills and vast experience. The demand signal for both a strategic and operational Reserve pres-ence in space is rock solid and will continue to be valuable well into the Air Force’s future.

Tim Paget put an arrow through a 10-square-inch target from more than 50 yards away Friday at the Schriever Archery Range. The shot earned applause from his fellow competitors even though it succeeded in eliminating all of them from the inaugural Schriever Archery Competition.

“That was a heck of a shot,” said Seth Cannello, Schriever sports and fitness director and competition organizer. “We didn’t really want the competition to be finished so quickly, but in this knock-out style format, everybody got their chance. Tim was the fifth archer to attempt the shot and the only one who made it.”

Though Paget dashed everyone’s hopes in the first knock-out round, all six archers who made the final round relished the opportunity to com-pete in the first competition held at the Schriever Archery Range, which opened in April.

“Bow hunting season starts next weekend,” said fourth-place archer Andy Rowland. “The timing of this competition couldn’t have been better. I’ve been shooting every

day, but shooting alone is different. When you get a bunch of people around, it changes things. I don’t know about everybody else, but I had butterflies, and that’s what you get when you’re hunting. This was a good simula-tion for the hunting experience.”

In all, 12 archers took part in the event, which started with a preliminary round.

Each participant shot three arrows at tar-gets measuring 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards from the shooting line. Competitors earned points for every arrow that hit inside the intended target, the closer to the bulls eye their arrows hit, the more points they earned.

In the format devised by Cannello, archers added their points up and the top six ad-vanced to the knock-out round.

In the knock-out round, the top prelimi-nary performer was allowed to choose his shot. Everyone then had to attempt that shot and those who missed were knocked out, but only if one person made it.

Rowland, in first place following the pre-liminary round, went with an aggressive shot choice. He stepped back 10 yards from the

shooting line and chose to shoot at a mock-bear target 40 yards out.

“You’ve got to hit the vitals [area],” he said prior to shooting.

At first, it seemed as though he had hit inside the target area. Robert Dover then followed with a nearly identical hit, but upon further in-spection, it was determined that both had barely missed. Tony Calloura and Adriaan Kendall then took their turns and missed as well.

Then it was Paget’s turn. But just as he stepped up to take his shot, a slight breeze turned into a strong wind. He adjusted his feet, took a deep breath and released. It didn’t take long for his arrow to hit dead center.

As the No. 6 archer, Cannello followed. But his arrow punched in slightly low.

“That was it,” Cannello said. “We had been shooting for more than an hour and sud-denly it was done. I wasn’t happy with the way it ended, but it played out exactly as we had planned before we started. That’s how knock-out target shooting works.”

The remaining archers battled for second place, but even that took less than 10 minutes.

Following successive shots, Cannello earned runner up honors and Dover claimed third.

“Next time, we’ll try to figure out a format that works better, or at least allows us to have a longer competition,” Cannello said. “It seemed like people enjoyed competing and this was the type of event I had envisioned hosting when we first started planning the range last year.”

Rowland said that perhaps the best thing about the range was that it has helped foster a community among archers on base, and that hopefully, the inaugural archery com-petition can help build awareness about the sport and bring more users out to the range on the base’s south side.

Cannello agreed.“We constructed the archery range as part

of Schriever’s Single Airman Initiative,” he said. “We would like to see more single Airmen using it.”

The Schriever Fitness Center has bows and arrows available for use at the archery range. For more information about the range, its availability and rules for use, call 567-6628 or visit the Schriever Fitness Center.

Chief’s Corner What’s your plan?

By Chief Master Sgt. James Herkel50th Security Forces Squadron

Too often, we hear of celebrations and recreations with tragic endings because of poor planning.

Collectively, we do a good job of communicating the consequences associated with drunk driving or impaired driving and I think we do a pretty good job of offering alternatives, such as Airman Against Drunk Driving.

We have some room to grow on the concept of applying risk management outside the workplace.

In its basic parts, risk is simply a balance between con-sequences and probability. We know the consequences — a night in jail is the absolute best case scenario for drunk drivers. Thinking more long-term, consider impacts to career, livelihood, family and income. And mission. When you are sitting in a jail cell, somebody else is doing

your job. The second part of calculating risk is probability. Here’s where the math gets a little fuzzy. You may roll the dice and win. But if you do roll the dice, that means you’re willing to take a chance at losing. As we read this dialogue sober, it doesn’t make any sense that anyone would take that chance. But it happens over and over. Why? Because we don’t make good decisions when we’re intoxicated. No science or math needed for that conclusion.

So, don’t confuse a good idea with a good plan. It’s a good idea to call A2D2 or anyone else for that matter if we’re impaired. But that good idea depends of logical, coherent thought after we have been drinking.

It’s a good plan to have a driver that is not drinking, before one drop of alcohol passes our lips. Or if you must drink, drink in a safe place. Like your own home.

Have a good plan, not just good ideas.

Louis Fischer could still remember his experience at the U.S. Air Force Academy as one of the first enlisted Airmen to be a military training leader there.

It was 1995. Fresh from a deployment in Panama in sup-port of Operation Safe Haven, then Tech. Sgt. Fischer was a security policeman looking for a job in the Air Force that did not require him to be away from his family for a long time.

“I was spending so much time gone that my kids were growing up without me,” Fischer said. “It became a matter of concern where the ability to be there with the family wasn’t there.”

Fischer didn’t mind the deployment but his family was suffering as a result. He needed to find something to do in order to focus on his family.

At that time, there was an advertisement in the base news-paper for a new position as military training advisors, which later on became military training leaders, at the U.S. Air Force Academy. It was a brand new program designed to introduce enlisted mentors to the cadets. Fischer sent the requirements without expectations of getting picked up for the job.

He got called for an interview, as one of 300 to 400 ap-plicants for the 40 available positions. The Academy was looking for a certain demographic; a lot of the NCOs hired were security forces members, former military training and professional military education instructors. However, as a new program, there was no job description.

“You had to make it up as you went along,” the Utica, Mich., native said. “You were in most cases the cadets’ first exposure to an enlisted person, setting the stage for a posi-tive rapport in their careers.”

When Fischer arrived at the Academy, he and the other NCOs received additional training with the Presidential Honor Guard to go through drill ceremonies, manual of arms, marching and more. The Academy also brought in a mobile team to show the NCOs how to teach and how to develop their public speaking skills. They even had to go through etiquette school.

As an MTL, Fischer served in a first-sergeant role and ad-dressed whatever issues and concerns the cadets may have had. He also engaged them formally when he taught them how to write enlisted performance reports, how to provide feedback, how to counsel and how to enforce standards. He was also responsible for parades, formations, drills and ceremonies.

“It was just based on what you brought to the table,” said Fischer.

For more than seven years, he served as a senior MTL,

then became a cadet group superintendent where he man-aged more than 1,000 cadets.

“You mentored the cadets, showed them what an NCO does and how NCOs take care of their people,” Fischer said. “You also assisted them in their development.”

Even after completing his MTL function, his former cadets would still come to him for mentoring and guidance. Often, he would meet them at various places, even in deployed locations. Those same cadets would often go on to serve as squadron commanders. One of those cadets was Lt. Col. Jasin Cooley, Academy Department of Military and Strategic Studies deputy head for operations and assistant professor and former 50th Security Forces Squadron commander.

“The AMTs , which were called MTLs back then, were invaluable for providing cadets with tactical-level leadership guidance and mentoring,” said Cooley.

When the Academy instituted the MTL program in the

mid-1990s, every squadron was assigned a staff sergeant, a technical sergeant or in a few cases, a master sergeant; this was a significant change since most squadrons had only a single captain commanding.

“These NCOs had an immediate influence, delving into en-listed issues, a more holistic view of the role and influence of company grade officers and insight into other career fields, I event took the [Air Force Specialty Code] of my MTA,” said Cooley.

Today that role is more defined and institutionalized, providing cadets with a much clearer picture of their roles and responsibilities when they enter active duty, Cooley said. Moreover, the AMTs often provide a candid, yet some-what discrete, sounding board for cadets seeking career and personal advice from an experienced Airman, one who is supremely reliable, but separate from their cadet or officer chains of command.

Before becoming an MTL, Fischer’s years as a security police man helped him gain the knowledge and experience that he shared with the cadets. Fischer entered the Air Force in 1984 as a security forces member. His brother went Army and told him to stay away from the Army. He was never big on boats so he didn’t choose Navy and the Marines were a little too gung-ho.

“The Air Force gave me my preference,” Fischer said. “I always had a desire to be a cop.”

However, it wasn’t what he thought it would be. Security forces at that time was security police. When Airmen came in, they came into one of two disciplines — security or law enforcement. Security guarded the assets while law enforce-ment performed police work.

Fischer, who was law enforcement, became one of those security force members who had specialized training for air base defense.

“It became the gift that kept on giving,” Fischer said. “Once you’re identified with that specialized training, you’re always in that deployment cycle.”

He deployed in support of Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Operation Safe Haven.

“Operation Safe Haven was probably the worst deploy-ment of my life because of the environment but then again, it was also the best because not many people get to experience that,” Fischer said. “We got tagged to deploy. The tasking was one of those ‘get your bags, you’re going, but we can’t tell you where and for how long.’”

The operation began Sept. 6, 1994, when Cubans from Guantanamo arrived in Panama. This was the result of an agreement between the U.S. and Panama government per-mitting the Cubans to remain in Panama for six months. Fischer was tasked with the maximum security area where

July Top 3 Performer

Commentary by Airman William Staud3rd Space Operations Squadron

As a child, I questioned why my family was moving from one state to another; sometimes even overseas. See I grew up in a military family. When we lived in Japan I would see other children who looked different from me and spoke a language that appeared and sounded completely foreign. It was being in Japan that early on that became the founda-tion of my interest in the Air Force.

The years went by and nothing remained of my time in Japan but photos and memories. I was growing older and becoming rebellious. The lack of supervision due to my father work-ing long hours and the ability for me to adapt and fit in quickly forced me into the wrong crowd. I was throwing parties at my house and breaking the law as a middle schooler.

My father and stepmother did everything they could to discipline me; hoping to, at least, restore some morals and values. The discipline only caused me to become more rebellious. It wasn’t until one late night I returned past my given curfew that I finally kicked the hornets’ nest. What originated as a harsh and direct punishment, ended up turning into something far different. My father appeared to have given up. He walked away and seemed extremely upset and overall ashamed of the monster I had become.

It was this moment in time I realized how strong my father was. His sheer dedication to his country and family never struck me until I decided to open my own eyes. My father was disappointed in me... and just

when it seemed like he was about to give up, he came back.

My father, a senior master sergeant, is the reason I wear this uniform proudly. Every day, I see the core values live through him. The photos and memories of me standing in front of numerous planes, such as the F-15, as a child in Japan inspired me to want to live by these values. Though I did not become the pilot I had always dreamed of becoming, I can honestly say I would have it no other way as a space operator in the Air Force.

Why I Wear the Uniform

50th Space Wing Safety OfficeFor many of us, the end of summer has

already arrived with the start of our chil-dren’s school year. Even though it may feel like summer is over, there is still time to have fun.

After all, there is one more four-day weekend for us to enjoy before the offi-cial end of summer and the end to the 2013 Critical Days of Summer Campaign.

As you plan your Labor Day trip and activities, be aware that the propensity for mishaps increases during this timeframe due to the increased number of travelers and the rush to get in just a few more fun ac-tivities before the weather starts to change.

The AAA estimates there will be 29.2 million automobile travelers Labor Day weekend, an increase of 4.3 percent from last year.

The National Safety Council suggests

the following Labor Day travel safety tips:- If you are drinking, do not drive.- If you plan to drink, designate a non-

drinking driver or plan for alternative transportation, such as a taxi.

- Eliminate distractions as much as pos-sible by using a hands-free device for your cell phone.

- Get plenty of rest before your trip.- Make sure you and your kids are buck-

led up.- Allow plenty of travel time to avoid

frustration and diminish the impulse to speed.

- Drive defensively and exercise caution, especially during inclement weather.

Remember to use risk management in all of your Labor Day activities in addition to traveling: boating, hiking, camping, etc. Enjoy the much deserved time off and come back safe and sound.

Safety paramount during Labor Day weekend

By Staff Sgt. David SalinitriSecretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON — Air Force senior leadership an-nounced enhancements to the Air Force’s Physical Fitness Assessment program, to be implemented Oct. 1.

In a letter to Airmen Aug. 20, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III explained the results of the comprehensive review, highlighting the strength of the program and the need for slight improvements.

“We have a tremendous program that has fundamentally changed the Air Force’s overall fitness level over the past few years,” Welsh said. “The PFT itself is not going to change. But even the best program can be improved upon, so we are making changes in four different areas to enhance the overall program.”

Of the changes coming Oct. 1, the most significant is to the abdominal circumference portion of the test. The AC assesses an Airman’s body composition.

Since the Air Force implemented the newest fitness pro-gram guidelines in October 2010, only .03 percent of Airmen have failed the AC portion of the test and passed the other three components with a composite score of 75 or higher.

“In the future, if an Airman fails the AC portion of the test, and passes each of the other three components, we’ll measure that Airman using the body mass index taping guidance in DOD instructions,” Welsh said. “If the Airman meets the DOD BMI standard, they pass the PFT.”

Because AC measurement is integrated into the testing procedure, the Air Force is currently the only branch of the Department of Defense not required to have a separate weight management program.

The other program modifications include realigning the fitness appeal process back to wing commanders, adjust-ing passing standards for Airmen who can only test on one component of assessment, and changing and simplifying the walk test.

In addition to these efforts, senior leaders are reviewing how fitness performance is documented on performance reports as part of a larger effort to examine the performance report itself. Those results are expected in the near future.

Though senior leaders are looking to improve the current fitness program, Welsh said he is proud of the Air Force pro-gram, and the physically fit culture it has helped to cultivate.

“I believe we have DOD’s best designed, best run fitness program, and as a result, we have a force ready for any mis-sion our nation asks us to execute,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of how far we’ve come with our fitness culture.”

they put all the bad actors.“I’ve spent six months in the desert for the Desert Shield

and Desert Storm; it was an intense and scary experience,” Fischer said. “But Panama was different.”

Fischer and his team were put in the mix in a completely different environment. They were a small Air Force team assigned to an Army unit. It was because of this that they’ve become reliant on each other.

“I still keep in contact with these individuals more so than Desert Shield and Desert Storm,” he said.

After being an MTL, Fischer went on to serve as a first sergeant. He wanted to come back as a cop. However, because of manning issues, the Air Force didn’t have positions for him except as a first sergeant. Fischer said becoming an MTL helped him became a shirt.

“It allowed me to hone my people skills,” he said. “It made me communicate better and allowed me to see various walks of life. I took the first sergeant position because I’ve been doing it with the cadets and I found out I liked working with people. I thought I was pretty good at it.”

Fischer would later become a security forces manager and group superintendent. He also deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his 25-year career, he earned a Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, Air Force commendation with four oak leaf clusters and Air Force Achievement Medal with six oak leaf clusters.

After retiring as a chief master sergeant in 2009, he chose to continue to serve in the Air Force, this time as a civil-ian Airman. He is currently the Schriever Air Force Base Antiterrorism officer.

“The Air Force is pretty much my family and I want to stay in the family,” Fischer said.

WASHINGTON — Department of Defense facilities are gearing up to issue identification cards to same-sex spouses beginning Tuesday, Pentagon officials said today.

“All spousal and family benefits, including ID cards, will be made available no later than Sept. 3, 2013,” said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen.

The Supreme Court decision to overturn portions of the Defense of Marriage Act made it possible for the depart-ment to recognize same-sex marriages.

“The department will make the same benefits available to all military spouses, regardless of sexual orientation, as

long as service member-sponsors provide a valid marriage certificate from a jurisdiction — including those overseas — that recognizes same-sex marriage,” Christensen said.

Entitlements, such as basic allowance for housing and family separation allowance, are retroactive to the date of the Supreme Court’s decision — June 26, 2013. For service members married after that date, the entitlements will be paid from the date of the marriage.

TRICARE — the military health care program — is tied to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System. TRICARE will be available to same-sex spouses beginning Tuesday

There are 15 countries that recognize same-sex mar-

riage. In the United States, 13 states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriages.

Many U.S. service members live in jurisdictions that do not recognize same-sex marriages. As operational require-ments permit, commanders may allow military personnel in same-sex relationships up to 10 days of non-chargeable leave for the purpose of travelling to a jurisdiction that allows same-sex couples to be married if they are stationed more than 100 miles from one of those areas.

“Personnel stationed within the continental United States may receive up to seven days non-chargeable leave and those stationed at overseas assignments may receive up to 10 days non-chargeable leave,” Christensen said.

WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK.

them. She had an amazing work ethic that was fueled by her initiative and willingness to take risks and find creative ways to improve the training program. She continues to be admired by the Airmen in her training section for her inspiring professionalism and resiliency.”

Paek said being an instructor is a tough job in the Air Force. They need to not only possess a deep understanding of mission requirements, but must also impart this knowledge into others with great efficacy. This requires extraordinary communication and critical thinking skills to effectively engage their students.

“I believe her time as an instructor helped her to com-municate effectively with the members of the joint and co-alition community,” Paek said. “She was handpicked due to her strong communication skills to accomplish several high-visibility briefings to key leadership members during her deployment.”

Learning about the biometrics program seemed like a trial by fire for Pease. She only received an overview about the coalition’s biometrics program, not even the Afghan system.

“As an advisor, you use leadership, mentorship and man-agement skills more than actually knowing about the bio-metrics process,” said Pease.

Pease’s team, which consisted of four service members and

a civilian from Army, Air Force and Navy as well as three interpreters, worked with their Afghan counterparts almost on a daily basis. To help the local nationals, the team devel-oped a contract with the American University of Afghanistan to offer information technology classes for the students so they could gather additional skills.

“Everything we try to do always came back to building a sustainable program,” Pease said.

When Pease and her team got to the biometrics center, the Afghans used them as a crutch.

“We would go with them to their leadership and help ad-vocate the biometrics program for them,” she said. “Slowly, we would start trimming our roles to where they did most of the decision making.”

The team visited the ministry nearly every day, encourag-ing and supporting the Afghans involvement in the program.

“From our perspective, we have a good working relation-ship with them,” Pease said. “They go out of their way to meet certain tasks we gave them.”

Additionally, her skills as an instructor were directly used to establish an English language training program for the Afghan National Police, for which she personally managed more than 315 hours of English language instruction to 30 coalition members.

This was despite the dangers Pease’s team faced as they trav-eled every day from their base to the ministry and throughout the Kabul City area.

“You have your everyday threats of local people throwing rocks at you, extorting money from you,” she said. “There

were always the possibilities of improvised explosive devices and more. Accidents were probably the biggest threat.”

During her deployment, Pease commanded 60 joint members in 175 different convoys. As a convoy commander, she was responsible for the whole group. She had to wake up early, read all the threats, and learn the primary and alternate routes. She also ensured the team had communication devices.

“You just have to get your team to your destination and back to the base safely,” Pease said.

With the deployment, Pease learned and gained a new perspective.

“It made me a better person as I learned to be patient,” Pease said. “Some people have to be allowed to do stuff in their time.

She said something that takes three weeks in America to do may take three months in Afghanistan. For Americans, if people are not getting things done in at certain time, it seems something is wrong. For Afghans, it’s different.

“It made me think that if somebody is not up to your standard, they are not giving their all,” she said. “You just definitely have to be aware of adjusting your leadership style.”

Pease’s deployment also changed the Afghan colonel’s perspective. When she left, the colonel cried because of what Pease did for his program.

“He was sad to see me leave and he wanted me to stay,” she said. “That came from somebody who just a year earlier said he didn’t want any females in the biometrics program because they just don’t get it. I thought I was able to change his perspective on women. He was able to admit that.”

portant milestone for current and former members of 3 SOPS,” said Lt. Col. Chadwick Igl, 3 SOPS commander. “I am very proud of the initiative and dedication of the entire DSCS team. Our mission partners from Lockheed Martin, Aerospace, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, the 53rd Signal Battalion, Defense Information Systems Agency, and the Regional SATCOM Support Center have enabled B6 to continually provide the warfighter with critical communication capability. This anniversary serves as a worthy tribute to the entire DSCS constellation’s contribution to our great nation.”

Launched in 2003, B6 is the newest DSCS III vehicle on orbit. Stationed in geosynchronus orbit above the East Coast, it provides U.S. military users worldwide with nuclear-hardened, anti-jam, high-data rate, long-haul communications.

Users include the defense communications system, the Army’s ground mobile forces, the Air Force’s airborne terminals, Navy ships at sea, the White House Communications Agency, the State Department and other users. U.S. Strategic Command has overall re-sponsibility for the DSCS constellation.

Though B6 can be a considered an engineering marvel, it’s older than many of its opera-tors. Originally, it was slated to be launched along with its sister, A3, aboard one of the space shuttles during the late 1980s, but plans for its launch were derailed by the Challenger disaster of 1986. Ultimately, it launched on Aug. 29, 2003, five months after A3.

It was the gold standard of wideband communication satellites until a follow-on vehicle known as Wideband Global SATCOM-1 launched in October 2007, but even as the Air Force transitions to the next generation WGS vehicles, DSCS satellites, including B6, continue to provide critical space effects to the warfighter. That fact is not lost on 3 SOPS operators and engineers, who have continued to innovate and enhance B6’s life and capability.

“We’ve done a lot to make the vehicle better in the past few years,” said Capt. Ashley Maher, 3 SOPS operations flight commander. “Our 3 SOPS engineering shop has made a huge effort to automate and improve command and control functions. We’ve also introduced updates to the vehicle’s software, which helps it operate more efficiently. It may be consid-ered old, but it’s more capable than it’s ever been and it operates more efficiently as well.”

Since it’s the newest of the DSCS satellites, Air Force leaders plan to make good use of the vehicle for many more years to come. It is slated to be replaced on orbit by one of the Air Force’s newest WGS vehicles, which is currently in a testing phase, but B6 will continue to serve in a residual capacity.

“B6 will continue to stay online and provide effects depending on constellation optimiza-tion and USSTRACOM needs,” Maher said. “After 10 years on orbit, B6 is still extremely relevant and providing important and critical effects to the warfighter.”
