USS Theodore Roosevelt Undocking Marks Overhaul Milestone

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Program Executive Office (PEO) for Aircraft Carriers announced USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) successfully completed the drydocking portion of her Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH), May 23.

RCOH is a mid-life refueling and modernization program for aircraft carriers that enable them to complete the final half of their 50 year service life. During an RCOH, more than 20 million man-hours of work are conducted on board the ship, divided between refueling the propulsion plant, upgrading ship's infrastructure to last for the next 25 years, and modernizing combat systems and air wing capabilities to increase combat effectiveness.

CVN 71 will be the first RCOH to incorporate work normally carried out during a Fleet maintenance availability, returning the ship to the Fleet sooner and at lower cost.

"Undocking of USS Theodore Roosevelt marks a major step towards completing her RCOH on time and within budget," said Rear Adm. Michael McMahon, program executive officer for Aircraft Carriers. "The Navy/shipbuilder team that worked together to make this happen is committed to keeping America's aircraft carrier fleet operationally available and ready to meet any requirement for their full service life."

CVN 71 has been moved to an outfitting pier to complete the remainder of her RCOH in December 2012.

Theodore Roosevelt is the fourth Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to undergo RCOH at Newport News. Advance planning is currently underway for the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) RCOH, scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2013.

PEO Aircraft Carriers is responsible for the acquisition, modernization and support of the Navy's in-service and future aircraft carriers.

George H.W. Bush Strike Group Participates in Saxon Warrior

USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH, At Sea (NNS) -- George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group (GHWB CSG) commenced Saxon Warrior '11, May 19.

Saxon Warrior is an exercise designed to develop theater-specific combat skills as well as enhance cooperation between multi-national forces and government agencies.

Led by the United Kingdom-based Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST), Saxon Warrior presents a myriad of challenges to the multi-national and multi-platform force by creating a diverse and unpredictable war environment based on fictional geo-political and military scenarios.

The eight-day exercise taking place off the coast of England is presented in phases. The initial phase presents single-mission scenarios encompassing surface, submarine, and air combat, as well as maritime security operations such as counter-piracy and visit, board, search and seizure missions. The various stand-alone scenarios are designed to effectively test a large number of combat skills in preparation for the final phase's multi-mission war and future real-world maritime operations. The exercise will culminate with a simulated war, May 26.

In addition to enhancing the mission readiness of GHWB CSG, the exercise presents an opportunity to carry out sustained and coordinated military operations with a number of allies and military agencies. The exercise will include surface ships, submarines and aircraft from several North American Treaty Organization (NATO) members including the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Canada and Spain.

"We look forward to working with U.K. and other NATO forces during Saxon Warrior '11," said Rear Adm. Nora Tyson, GHWB CSG commander. "These crucial training opportunities greatly enhance our interoperability and information sharing, which help ensure our national and international security. It's all about building partnerships, establishing trust, and leveraging the unique capabilities and strengths of each member of the combined force."

Saxon Warrior presents an opportunity to face a variety of geo-political situations that change from day to day, providing a tactical contrast that will build upon the in-depth, extended timeline scenario training used during the composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX) and joint task force exercise (JTFEX), which the strike group completed in February.

Capt. John Fuller, deputy commodore, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 22, said the rapidly changing nature of Saxon Warrior provides a different military training environment for a deployed strike group.

"Saxon Warrior gives us a challenging environment in which to use our war-fighting skills," Fuller said. "We have to think quickly outside the box. The more agile we are, the more prepared we'll be for any mission that comes up during deployment. That's the beauty of Saxon Warrior."

During the exercise, multi-national aircraft squadrons will practice low-level flight operations, air-to-air engagements, long-range strikes and close support of surface combatant ships. As in previous exercises, training vessels will be used to provide boarding parties a realistic test of their skills on missions that may be encountered in future areas of deployment.

Cmdr. Erich Röetz, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 2's future operations officer, said the wide variety of warfare scenarios will challenge both the strike group as well as the allied forces.

"Saxon Warrior will test every aspect of our war-fighting capabilities—from air wing strikes to the self-defense of the carrier." Röetz said. "The beauty of operating with coalition partners is that we practice with them, learn their strengths, and then blend those strengths together to make the most potent coalition force possible."

George H.W. Bush Strike Group consists of Carrier Strike Group 2 staff, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8, Destroyer Squadron 22 staff, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), guided-missile cruisers USS Gettysburg (CG 64) and USS Anzio (CG 68), and guided-missile destroyers USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Mitscher (DDG 57), and ESPS Almirante Juan de Borbon (F 102).

The deployment is the first for USS George H.W. Bush and USS Truxtun.

Joint Strike Fighter Makes First Air Show Appearance

An aircraft carrier variant of the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter flies over Andrews Air Force Base, Md., during the Joint Service Open House. This is the first public appearance of a joint strike fighter aircraft at an air show. Lt. Cmdr. Eric "Magic" Buus piloted the aircraft. The F-35C is a fifth generation strike fighter with stealth capability and has larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear for the demanding carrier environment. The aircraft is undergoing test and evaluation at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. (U.S. Navy photo by Andy Wolfe courtesy of Lockheed Martin/Released)

ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. (NNS) -- The F-35C Joint Strike Fighter made its first public appearance at an air show May 21.

Piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Eric "Magic" Buus, the F-35C made a single pass down the show line at the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.

The flight commemorated 100 years of naval aviation by highlighting the future of tactical air power for the U.S. Navy. The F-35C variant of the joint strike fighter is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B versions with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear for greater control in the demanding carrier take-off and landing environment.

The flyover originated from the F-35C's primary test site at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. and was executed in the same manner as any controlled test sortie. The aircraft, CF-2, flew within its approved flight envelope and was accompanied by an F-18 Hornet flying chase.

The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program is in the system development and demonstration phase, focusing on delivering three different and new aircraft variants to the U.S. Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. All three variants integrate advanced low observable stealth into a supersonic, multi-role fighter.

Joint Air Operations Center stand-up part of National Level Exercise 2011

by Capt. John T. Stamm, 123rd Airlift Wing Public Affairs

KENTUCKY AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Ky. (AFNS) -- Kentucky Air National Guard officials stood up a joint air operations center here (Louisville IAP/Standiford Field, KY-LVH) May 16 to serve as the main command node for all of the state's fixed-wing and rotary aircraft that are participating in the largest earthquake-response exercise in U.S. history.

The week-long event, called National Level Exercise 2011, is designed to test the local, state and national response to a simulated earthquake along the New Madrid Fault. It includes participation from emergency responders in eight central states, the National Guard and multiple federal entities like the Department of Defense and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Kentucky's Joint Air Operations Center is supporting the exercise by prioritizing and allocating air assets for missions into affected areas across the commonwealth, transporting personnel and equipment, and providing aeromedical evacuation and search-and-rescue capabilities as appropriate, said Brig. Gen. Mark Kraus, who commands the JAOC and is Kentucky's Joint Forces Air Component commander.

"Yesterday, we were alerted to the simulated earthquake, reported for duty, set up our facility here, checked our communication lines, and made sure our plans were in place to receive taskings and then allocate missions to either C-130 (Hercules) planes, (UH - 60) Black Hawk or whatever air assets we might have," he said. "The initial focus was on search and rescue, so our job was to get teams from different parts of the state into the affected areas, primarily the 24 western Kentucky counties deemed most at risk from a New Madrid earthquake."

Kentucky Air Guard officials also performed airfield assessments May 16, flying a joint team of Air and Army National Guardsmen to airports across the state, where they conducted tests and surveys to determine which runways were undamaged by the earthquake and could support humanitarian airlift operations if necessary.

USFF/CNIC Completes Ardent Sentry/National Level Exercise 2011

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFF) and Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) completed Ardent Sentry/National Level Exercise (AS/NLE-11) 2011, May 19th.

The purpose of National Level Exercise is to prepare the military, including the U.S. Navy, to focus on defense support to civil authorities (DSCA) for missions assigned through the U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) to Homeland Defense organizations.

"We are very proud of our [CNIC] team and the region's performance during AS/NLE-11. We firmly believe our high performance was due to CNIC's Training and Readiness pre-exercise support, to include the Region Operations Center, operations course, as well as the command's culture of training instilled through weekly recurring Emergency Operations Center (EOC) training and emergency management (EM) plan preparation sessions," said Scott Ebell, executive director, Navy Region Midwest.

The objectives of the exercise were to train in the following areas:

• restoration of USN facilities and infrastructure in the affected area
• support of the extended Navy family
• DSCA and immediate response
• personnel accountability in response to an unanticipated natural disaster

"The use of the modeling and simulation (M&S) tools greatly enhanced the quality of the exercise injects, providing a realistic scenario for the installation commanding officer and staff. We will leverage M&S in all our future exercises," said William Clark, shore exercise program manager, CNIC.

Exercise play spanned the Navy, from Chief of Naval Operations guidance, through personnel accountability and mission support, down to 'affected' installations handling scripted scenarios.

USFF serves as the Navy operational commander for U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) during disaster preparedness/response and DSCA type exercises.

CNIC, along with USFF, receives requests for support (RFS) from subordinate commanders (such as Navy Region Midwest and Naval Support Activity Mid-South), which result in providing support and services ranging from baby supplies to damage assessment teams.

The Navy participated in AS/NLE 2011 May 16 -19. The exercise was centered around a scenario of a 7.7 magnitude earthquake that occurred in western Tennessee near Memphis, creating widespread damage and casualties throughout eight midwestern states and four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regions.

Stennis Carrier Strike Group Conducts Simulated Strait Transit

By Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Apprentice Benjamin Crossley, USS John C. Stennis Public Affairs

USS JOHN C. STENNIS, At Sea (NNS) -- The John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group conducted a simulated strait transit off the coast of Southern California, May 18.

The simulation was the second planned by Commander, Strike Force Training Pacific (CSFTP) as a part of a composite unit training exercise (COMPTUEX) for the strike group.

"The reason we practice strait transit is because we are potentially vulnerable while conducting the operation," said Stennis Tactical Action Officer Lt. j.g. Patrick Emery.

CFSTP was on site in many areas of the ship to observe and evaluate the strike group performance.

"What we saw today was the application of lessons learned from the previous strait transit simulation conducted earlier this month," said Lt. Cmdr. William Wood, CFSTP cryptologic resources coordinator. "This was the most complex evolution of the COMPTUEX and one of the most exciting."

The CSFTP team designed scenarios to test the strike group in tense situations based on real strait transits.

"We observe a foreign country's response to a strait transit and use that intelligence in our simulation so the carrier strike group goes through something as realistic as possible," said Cryptologic Technician (Technical) 2nd Class Nicholas Fugate, CFSTP intelligence analyst mentor trainer. "It is essential for a strike group to perform this training so they know what to expect while on deployment."

The CFSTP teams' realistic simulation allowed the strike group to respond with real-time interaction.

"With this evolution, we were stressing the command and control of the strike group and exercising the communication flow from the strike group to the fleet commander," said Capt. Richard Thomas, CSFTP surface operations officer.

CSFTP acted as a fleet commander as part of the exercise in order for the strike group to make requests and perform as if it was a real situation.

"The strike group must request permission from the fleet commander to conduct certain operations while in the various fleets of the world," said Fugate.

The goal of the strait transit simulation was not to teach the carrier strike group to engage and attack potential enemies.

"The goal of the evolution was to teach the strike group to avoid escalating the situation, and to monitor and assess the potential threats," said Thomas. "Restraint is a major component of this exercise."

During the exercise, potential threats were spotted on radar and helicopters were tasked to investigate and report back to the strike group.

"Communication is the key," said Lt. Kyle Johnson, CFSTP helicopter operations officer. "The helicopter squadrons applied the skills learned from the first simulation and are dealing with potential threats to the strike group."

During the exercise, helicopters performed blocking maneuvers to protect the strike group from potential threats while the strike group continued to analyze the threats.

"The strait transit can be a very stressful situation, but I feel we did very well," said Emery.

The strike group is tasked to learn both skill sets required to enter into 5th and 7th fleet.

"Today's exercise was the pinnacle of a 5th Fleet scenario dealing with multiple warfare areas to include maritime security operations," added Thomas. "We constantly update training to incorporate and emphasize important elements learned from 5th and 7th Fleet headquarters. By constantly evolving, we can stay current and give the strike group the best, most-up-to-date tools to be successful on deployment."

As COMPTUEX continues, CSFTP will continue to train Sailors of the John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group for their upcoming deployment.

Crew Escapes Aircraft Crash at Point Mugu

POINT MUGU, Calif. (NNS) -- The three crew members aboard an Omega Air Boeing 707 tanker that crashed on the evening of May 18 from Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu escaped with minor injuries.

The jet was attempting to take off when the mishap occurred. The resulting fire was contained by responding units within a few hours.

Responding to the fire were two engines and three crash trucks from NBVC's Federal Fire Department, one Air Squad helicopter from the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, four engines and one water tender from the Ventura County Fire Department and one water tender from the City of Ventura Fire Department.

Omega Air Refueling is a civilian company under contract by the Navy to provide fleet operations support on Point Mugu's sea test range.

The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation into the cause of the crash.

George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group enters 6th Fleet

By by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Sandi Grimnes, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Public Affairs

USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH, At Sea (NNS) -- Ships and embarked squadrons from George H.W. Bush Carrier Strike Group (CSG) entered U.S. 6th Fleet's Area of Responsibility (AOR), May 16.

Entering 6th Fleet is a significant milestone for the thousands of Sailors serving in the CSG that includes the nation's newest and last Nimitz-class aircraft carrier during her first combat deployment, as it is the first operational employment after almost a year of rigorous training.

Carrier Strike Group Two; USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77); Destroyer Squadron 22; guided-missile destroyers USS Truxtun (DDG 103) and USS Mitscher (DDG 57); guided-missile cruisers USS Gettysburg (CG 64) and USS Anzio (CG 68), and the eight squadrons of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 entered the AOR, Monday morning, officially transferring operational tasking authority for the CSG from U.S. 2nd Fleet.

"The men and women of GHWB CSG are contributing to America's legacy of promoting peace, prosperity, security and freedom of the seas as we conduct Maritime Security Operations with our partner nations in the 6th Fleet AOR," said Commander, Carrier Strike Group Two, Rear Adm. Nora Tyson.

While in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, GHWB CSG will conduct a full range of maritime operations and theater security cooperation efforts in concert with coalition, joint, interagency and other partners to improve operational proficiency, and maintain maritime safety and security.

"It is a true honor to lead such a talented and dedicated group of professionals at sea. We are prepared to execute any tasking in support of our maritime strategy," Tyson said. "This first combat deployment for George H.W. Bush will go down in history as one of the milestones of naval aviation's centennial, which we celebrate this year."

Upon completion of its mission in 6th Fleet, GHWB CSG is scheduled to operate in 5th Fleet AOR in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts.

F-35C Test Aircraft Exceeding Test and Evaluation Goals

The U.S. Navy variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35C, conducts a test flight over the Chesapeake Bay. Lt. Cmdr. Eric "Magic" Buus flew the F-35C for two hours, checking instruments that will measure structural loads on the airframe during flight maneuvers. The F-35C is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear for greater control when operating in the demanding carrier take-off and landing environment.

From F-35C Integrated Test Force, Naval Air Systems Command Public Affairs

PATUXENT RIVER, Md. (NNS) -- Naval Air Systems Command announced May 17 that the test aircraft for the carrier variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is exceeding test and evaluation program goals so far this year.

According to the announcement, the F-35C test aircraft, 'CF-1,' currently at Naval Air Station Patuxent River has completed 36 test flights as of May 11, nearly half the program's goal for the year of 85.

"CF-1's been flying well, even with a number of planned and unplanned maintenance periods," said U.S. Marine Corps Col. Roger Cordell, military site director. "It's a great sign for the fleet that the aircraft is doing well so early in the test program."

In April, CF-1 completed 13 flights, tying a record for the number of test flights for any aircraft at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Additionally, the integrated test team has completed seven CF-1 test flights this month.

"The team has been doing a great job staying on top of maintenance requirements," said Jim McClendon, Lockheed Martin site director vice president. "Just last week, CF-1 flew six flights in six days, which is a great accomplishment in any test program, let alone test and evaluation for a brand new aircraft."

Coupled with this week's arrival of the second carrier variant, CF-2, and arrival of CF-3 later this year, the F-35C test program is making rapid progress toward initial carrier suitability testing this year at Joint Base Lakehurst-McGuire-Dix in New Jersey.

First carrier suitability testing this summer is scheduled to include the first catapult launches, and the F-35C is scheduled to commence shipboard testing in 2013.

The F-35C is the carrier variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, with larger wing control surfaces and reinforced landing gear to operate in the maritime environment. The F-35C is undergoing test and evaluation to evaluate flutter, loads and mission systems at NAS Patuxent River prior to eventual delivery to the fleet.

20th FW hands off alert mission to McEntire ANG

20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. (AFNS) -- The 20th Fighter Wing here turned over responsibility for the air sovereignty alert mission to the 169th Fighter Wing at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, S.C., recently.

The 20th FW controlled the alert mission from Sept. 11, 2001 to Nov. 15, 2003 and again from Aug. 1, 2006 to May 9, 2011.

The alert mission is a critical component to the strategic force that is poised 24/7 to respond to airborne threats over the United States, officials said.

The ASA mission requires three dedicated armed alert aircraft (two primaries and one spare) at each of the alert locations, with two pilots and associated maintenance and support personnel on duty 24/7.

"Shaw's role in the alert mission was to defend the Southeast Air Defense Sector and the 79 million American citizens within that sector from airborne threats," said Col. James Sears, 20th Operations Group commander.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of the Air Force's newest alert site and the South Carolina Air National Guard's assumption of the homeland defense mission.

"I want to thank the 20th FW for meeting the challenge despite all the other things I know you have to do," said Maj. Gen. Garry Dean, the commander for the Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense Command Region - 1st Air Force, who spoke at the ceremony. "It's been an outstanding run."

As the 20th FW passes the alert mission to Airmen at McEntire JNGB, Colonel Sears expressed his best wishes and great expectations.

"We wish the 169th FW and the McEntire ANG the best as they take on this critical mission of defending the South East United States," Colonel Sears said.
