America's No-Fly Zones Are Already in Place

The budget sequester has idled U.S. military aircraft and crews across the country, with dangerous implications.

By DAVID A. DEPTULA

There has been much talk lately in Washington about establishing a no-fly zone in Syria. You don't hear about the no-fly zones that are already up and running—over the United States. Where in the U.S.? Over places like Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, the Air Force's premier combat training range; and over Naval Air Stations Oceana in Virginia and China Lake in California, affecting Navy and Marine Corps aviation. Then there are the no-fly zones over Seymour Johnson AFB Goldsboro, N.C., the home of an F-15E fighter wing; Hill AFB in Ogden, Utah, home to F-16 fighters; and Ellsworth AFB, S.D., the home of B-1 bombers that provide America global reach and power.

Those and others are no-fly zones because Congress has legislated, through budget sequestration, the shutdown of major air capabilities of the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. Military spending is scheduled to be cut by $492 billion over 10 years, with $52 billion in mandatory, across-the-board reductions coming next year.

The fourth U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II aircraft arrives at the 422nd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada in this April 24, 2013 photo released on May 8, 2013.

But the $42 billion axed from the military in 2013 is already damaging America's combat readiness—and therefore its security. Our military readiness is plummeting, especially the nation's air power, which underpins the entire military's ability to operate when and where necessary. In the Air Force alone, more than 30 squadrons are now grounded, along with aircrews, and maintenance and training personnel. The U.S. military's foremost air-combat training exercise—Red Flag—has been canceled for the rest of the year. The graduate schools for Air Force, Navy and Marine combat aviators have been canceled. Equipment testing and upgrades to F-22s, F-15s, F-16s and other aircraft have been delayed.

Without testing, improvements can't be made, and without upgrades air forces atrophy and their capability declines. Training, testing and education are vital to keeping forces honed to a combat edge. The excellence and high standard of those activities have enabled the U.S. to remain the world's sole superpower.

Flying and maintaining proficiency in high-performance military aircraft is not like riding a bike. It requires constant preparation and training to maintain the superior combat capabilities that have long been the pride of the U.S. As foreign military equipment and technology around the world approached America's own weapons capabilities, superior air-combat training gave the U.S. an advantage. With large numbers of U.S. airmen around the world not flying, that is no longer the case.

The real danger is that the damage caused by the no-fly zones imposed by sequestration will not be recognized until too late—until air forces and personnel are required to support America's vital security interests in times and places unforeseen and impossible to predict.

The U.S. Air Force has always focused on being 100% ready at all times. That's the goal. Why? Because being in a posture to deploy and employ quickly creates capabilities to engage around the world to encourage peace and stability. If necessary, that posture provides the foundation for success in war-fighting. Sequestration's no-fly zones result in a disproportionate loss of national capability because they hinder the Air Force's role as America's "first response force." This quickness buys the Navy and Army time to spin up and steam to the fight.

The hollow force caused by sequestration means that the U.S. has a growing strategy-resource mismatch: a widening gap between what our leaders say and what the nation can accomplish. Sequestration was designed to be so irresponsible that Congress would prevent its implementation. Now that it has been implemented, the danger is that Washington begins to think the military cuts are tolerable.

With the consequences of the cuts not immediately apparent, Congress might regard them as a more palatable way to cut military spending than the politically unpopular Base Realignment and Closure Act. Earlier this month, the House of Representative approved legislation to prohibit another round of BRAC, even though it could be used to cut the military's excess infrastructure and achieve significant savings. The ban appears likely to become law. Combat readiness doesn't have a constituency—except for the entire nation, when fighting needs to be accomplished.

Ultimately, the staggering challenge of the national debt will have to be addressed in a more responsible way than by a sequester. When that time comes, a discussion of first principles is essential. Who is to determine what is the appropriate "fair share" of each of the elements of government? How do we determine priorities?

Plenty of opinions will be offered, but America's leaders would do well to seek guidance from the document describing the reason for the government's existence—the Preamble to the Constitution. The Founders wrote that the nation was constituted to "provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

Providing for the common defense is U.S. government job one. On the ample evidence of the past year—the deficit debates, the potential solutions offered to resolve the fiscal crisis, the damage done to America's security by sequestration—too many people in leadership positions have forgotten that obligation.

Mr. Deptula, a retired Air Force three-star general, was a commander of the no-fly zone over northern Iraq in 1998-99. He is a senior military scholar at the Air Force Academy.

A version of this article appeared June 24, 2013, on page A19 in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: America's No-Fly Zones Are Already in Place.

ALL-CAPS MESSAGES ... no more

Navy Times, in an online article written by Sam Fellman on June 6, is reporting that Navy messages and other traffic that have used all capital letters will see the all caps go the way of the Dodo bird.

On May 8, the Navy’s personnel chief issued a policy directive likely unique in the annals of naval messages that came before it — a bulletin that featured lowercase letters.

THE U.S. NAVY WILL NO LONGER COMMUNICATE EXCLUSIVELY IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS AND ORDERS HAVE BEEN IN ALL CAPS SINCE 19TH CENTURY.

For sailors who find it hard to get through all-caps messages or think that they READ LIKE YOU’RE BEING SHOUTED AT, your time has come: The Navy is shifting to a new message-routing system that is cheaper and easier to operate and has the side benefit of sending messages that are easier to read.

You can read the rest of the story at http://www.navytimes.com/article/20130606/NEWS04/306060010/ALL-CAPS-MESSAGES-no-more

According to the WSJ: Many Army orders are still issued in caps and officers from other services hope rest of Pentagon will follow the Navy’s lead.
　

New, cheaper Navy messaging system allows orders and messages to be sent with lowercase letters. According to the Navy the new Command and Control Office Information Exchange—or C2OIX in Navy Speak–will become operational in August and is supposed to save $15 million a year.

But not all Navy systems can process mixed cases. And officials say it won’t be until 2015 that all messaging systems will be able to use lowercase letters.

Truman Strike Group Underway For SUSTAINEX

ATLANTIC OCEAN (NNS) -- Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HST CSG) is underway June 5 for a final sustainment exercise (SUSTAINEX) before their upcoming deployment.

Aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) departed Naval Station Norfolk earlier this week along with embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3 and 1st Combined Destroyer Squadron staff, have joined guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56), USS Gettysburg (CG 64) and guided-missile destroyers USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) and USS Mason (DDG 87) for the exercise. The cruisers and destroyers departed their homeports of Naval Station Norfolk and Naval Station Mayport May 31.

The ships and embarked units training together are focusing on maritime security operations, air defense, counter-piracy and anti-submarine warfare.

"We've worked very hard to maintain our combat readiness these past few months," said Rear Adm. Kevin Sweeney, commander, Carrier Strike Group 10. "It's wonderful to be back at sea, training as an integrated strike group in a complex environment like we expect to see on deployment."

The exercise is similar to the composite unit training exercise (COMPTUEX) the strike group completed earlier this year. Exercises such as SUSTAINEX and COMPTUEX ensure strike groups are trained and certified for an overseas deployment.
