EPLOs deploy to Caribbean for hurricane response preparation

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFNS) -- With tropical storm activity increasing in the Atlantic region, officials from the Air Forces Northern National Security Emergency Preparedness Directorate deployed two emergency preparedness liaison officers to assist in response efforts in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

The EPLOs' skills, experience and knowledge of U.S. Air Force capabilities will assist in determining the right resources if Department of Defense assets are requested by civilian authorities to support the response within the stricken areas.

"When a natural disaster occurs, local officials are in charge of the response effort," said Michael Thornal, an NSEP official. "If the disaster becomes catastrophic, (Federal Emergency Management Agency representatives) will come in to assist the local authorities upon request of the governors. Our EPLOs deploy to the scene to augment the local and federal officials and to advise them of the resources AFNORTH can provide to aid in the response."

The EPLOs will be assigned to FEMA's Region II Defense Coordinating Element.

EPLOs are geographically assigned to each state and the 10 FEMA Regional Response Coordination Centers. The officers come from a wide range of career fields including air operations, logistics, medical, security forces and public affairs.

USAF Buys One of Its Leased Gulfstream Vs

Photo courtesy of the USAF

On July 27, 2011, the Pentagon announced a $26.8 million contract to Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. in Savannah, GA to buy 1 leased aircraft, in accordance with option terms of the contract. Research reveals that the plane is a C-37A Gulfstream V long-range business jet, flown under a 10-year, $477.3 million lease of 5 planes, signed in October 2000.

The USAF currently flies 9 C-37s: The 89th Airlift Wing's 99th Airlift Squadron, Andrews Air Force Base, Md., operates four C-37A's. The 6th Air Mobility Wing's 310th Airlift Squadron, MacDill AFB, Fla., operates three C-37A's. Both the 15th Airlift Wing, 65th Airlift Squadron at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, and the 86th Airlift Wing, 309th Airlift Squadron, at Chievres Air Base, Belgium, have one C-37A (see blog editor note below),

They are used as longer-range counterparts to its C-20 Gulfstream III/IV VIP jets, and include secure military communication equipment on board.

Blog Editor Note: The figures given by this article and the official USAF fact sheet are not accurate. Based on actual monitoring of radio comms and Mode-S signals, we have uncovered 11 C-37 aircraft in use by the USAF. Our inventory list follows:

Officials say Joint Strike Fighter program is on track

by Master Sgt. Amaani Lyle, Air Force Public Affairs Agency

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The Joint Strike Fighter Program Office deputy director expressed confidence in the progress of the JSF program at an Air Force Association breakfast program here July 27.
The upgrades and acquisitions, particularly the completion of the new Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., training facility, helps to advance the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II program, said Maj. Gen. C.D. Moore.

"The F-35 is at the nexus of concurrency where we are building production aircraft, conducting developmental tests, and starting to build a cadre of future Joint Strike Fighter maintainers and pilots," Moore said. "We're approaching the point where we (are) flight testing and delivering aircraft simultaneously ... with two at Eglin and four more in the works ... three of which at Ft. Worth, (Texas) are finished and ready to go."

He also discussed the sizeable training center located at Eglin AFB.

"The 33rd Fighter Wing ... has amazing capability that's been put in place and a 250,000-square-foot pilot and maintenance training facility," Moore said, adding that its size equates to about six football fields.

Moore described plans for Pilot Training Center-1, a future facility where the services and their international partners will be able to train and interact. The location of the center has not been determined.

The general reported that F-35 flight science testing is making good progress at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., and Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The program is building mission avionics confidence with Block 1 software. Also, AF-6 and AF-7 conventional takeoff and landing aircraft are completing maturity flights to strengthen and verify the training syllabus that will be used at Eglin AFB.

Building momentum and maintaining affordability will ensure the JSF program's longevity into 2035 and beyond, he said.

"Flight test production roll outs are helping us build confidence in this plan and the weapons system," Moore said. "Now it's just a matter of getting into a good battle rhythm in terms of production rate."

The Joint Strike Fighter Program Office is the Department of Defense's agency responsible for developing and acquiring the F-35A/B/C, the next generation strike aircraft weapon systems for the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and many allied nations.

The AFA Air Force breakfast program is a monthly series that provides a venue for senior Air Force and Department of Defense leaders to communicate directly with the public and press.

Moderating Moore's question and answer session was retired Lt. Gen. Michael Dunn, AFA's current president and chief executive officer.

SAFE SKIES 2011 demonstrates true collaboration

by Tech. Sgt. Charles Vaughn
144th Fighter Wing Public Affairs

7/27/2011 - MIRGOROD AIR BASE, Ukraine (AFNS) -- Airmen from the 144th Fighter Wing at Fresno Air National Guard Base, Calif., are partnered with Ukrainian and Polish airmen at Mirgorod Air Base, Ukraine, through the National Guard State Partnership Program. Through this program, they have developed a strong tie to this former soviet bloc-country that is being displayed during SAFE SKIES 2011.

SAFE SKIES 2011 is a 2-week multinational flying event where members of the California and the Alabama Air National Guard help prepare airmen from Ukraine and Poland to better protect their airspace during EURO 2012, the upcoming European soccer championship games. ANG F-16 Fighting Falcons are playing a major role in this preparation by flying air sovereignty missions with both the Polish and Ukrainian air forces.

Officials from the California ANG have been planning this event since 2009.

"Our partnership has laid the foundation for this event, and this engagement is providing Ukraine an amazing opportunity to learn more about air sovereignty operations as they prepare for the EURO 2012," said Lt. Col. Robert Swertfager, the SAFE SKIES project officer and a member of the 144th FW.

During SAFE SKIES 2011 more than 60 air sovereignty air intercepts are scheduled. Members of the Western Air Defense Sector, who traveled to Mirgorod AB, provide support and work with their Ukrainian and Polish partners. Ukrainian SU-27s, Mig-29s and Polish F-16s intercept ANG aircraft during these air sovereignty events. The ANG F-16s act like distressed or hijacked aircraft, creating a potential airborne threat over the Ukrainian or Polish populace. Scenerios like these will require Ukrainian and Polish air force support and will force the partners to test their alter-response mechanisms, which will better prepare them for real airborne threats.

"We learned so much from the events of September 11, 2001," said Lt. Col. Kirk Toomey, the SAFE SKIES operations project officer and alert commander at the 144th FW. "We want to share from our experiences and better enable them to protect their citizens from any terrorist threats. Protecting the EURO spectators is similar to us protecting the football fans watching the Super Bowl."

During this event, the ANG pilots also will work with Polish airmen to test any communication limitations specific to air-sovereignty operations.

"The collaboration with Poland is also a very important aspect of this event," Toomey said. "Working with Poland is similar to the U.S. working with Canada. Understanding each others' tactics is critical to the collaboration required in air sovereignty missions.

"This state partnership initiative sets the foundation for future training with Ukraine," he said. "The lessons learned during this engagement will provide us with valuable information for deploying Fresno fighter aircraft and personnel in the future."

The two week event concludes July 28 with a friendship dinner.

"It's a time for us to reflect on the interactions that have taken place during SAFE SKIES 2011 and an opportunity to look forward to future partnership events," Swertfager said.
