633rd Air Base Wing Public AffairsJOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS

The 2013 Air Power Over Hampton RoadsOpen House andAir Show, scheduled for May3-5, has been cancelled. Driven by the dualthreat of operating under a continuing reso-lution and a potential sequestration, U.S. AirForce leadership at all levels are proactivelyimplementing near-term actions to minimizeimpact to readiness and our people while pro-tecting wartime operations.

“The Air Force has to consider the fiscalchallenges affecting the Department of De-fense and the nation,” said Col. Korvin Auch,633rd Air Base Wing commander. “We’re tak-ing prudent steps now in order to be goodstewards of taxpayer resources while focusingon maintaining readiness.”

The decision to cancel the air show and openhouse at Langley Air Force Base was not easyconsidering the show’s popularity and theHampton Road area’s support of the military.

“We sincerely appreciate the sustained sup-port and understanding from our servicemembers, their families, the American pub-lic and specifically our local Hampton Roadssupporters and friends, through these tryingfiscal times,” said Auch. “We cannot continuefunctioning as the world’s most capable AirForce without this support.

“I believe that opening our gates to the gen-eral public is periodically necessary to dem-onstrate modern weapon systems and capa-bilities, to promote positive community andinternational relations, to showcase our Air-men and to support Air Force recruiting andretention,” said Auch. “For that reason, myteam and I are already looking at future yearswhere we can once again showcase Air Pow-er Over Hampton Roads to the community inwhich we live and work.”

No dates for future Air Power Over Hamp-ton Roads have been set.

Air Combat Command officials continue to take actionsto slow, and within the near term dramatically restrict, Fis-cal Year 2013 spending in light of pending sequestrationand a projected $1.8 billion dollar shortfall in overseas con-tingency funding.

“We are prioritizing our efforts to sustain force structureand preserve combat capability for the joint force,” saidGen. Mike Hostage, commander of ACC.

Hostage previously directed ACC units to reduce discre-tionary spending to the maximum extent possible withoutaffecting mission readiness. Spending for temporary du-ties, equipment purchases and facility sustainment, resto-ration and modernization programs are being aggressive-ly scrutinized or deferred in order to minimize spending.

ACC units are currently executing the wing flying-hour program to maintain combat readiness, and willadjust as sequestration-driven specifics are available.Depending on the outcome of budget decisions, ACCmay have to reduce flying operations for two-thirds ofsquadrons across the command by mid to late May. Thisincludes fighters, non-nuclear bombers, command-and-control, personnel recovery, and intelligence, surveil-lance and reconnaissance missions.

“Remaining as mission-ready as possible is our impera-

tive, and priority for flying hours will go to units that aredeployed or preparing to deploy and to formal trainingunits that provide fully qualified aircrews,” said Hostage.

If flying hours are drastically cut, aircrews will makeheavy use of simulators and academic training to maintainbasic skills, and maintainers will complete upgrade train-ing and scheduled maintenance to the extent possible giv-en availability of spare parts. While each weapon system isdifferent, on average fighter pilots lose their currency to flycombat missions after 120 days of non flying. It takes ap-proximately 90 days to conduct training to return a fight-

er pilot to CMR status, and recovering from lost currencieswould take approximately 6 to 12 months.

The two largest aircraft test and training ranges in theUnited States will also be affected under sequestration. TheNevada Test and Training Range, and the Utah TTR mayclose in early summer, which would further affect com-bat training and test-and-evaluation evaluation activities.ACC’s aerial demonstration teams, which are importantfor recruiting and public awareness of the Air Force mis-sion, are continuing their certification procedures for the2013 season, but officials realize changes may be requiredunder sequestration. Adjustments to the schedules will beannounced as appropriate.

On Feb. 12, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A.Welsh III told the Senate Armed Services Committee thatunprecedented budget factors have placed the nation’s de-fense strategy in jeopardy.

“Sequestration threatens to carve crucial capability fromAmerica’s Air Force, with alarming and immediate effectson people, readiness and infrastructure, and, eventually, onmodernization,” said Welsh. “If it occurs, it will significant-ly undermine your Air Force’s readiness and responsive-ness today.”

Sequestration will have an effect through the remainderof FY 13 unless rescinded. The impact on ACC operationsbeyond FY13 will be determined when the FY14 budgetbecomes more clearly defined.

The lack of an appropriations bill coupled with sequestration couldeventually translate to Soldiers being delayed in their redeployment homefrom Afghanistan, the Army’s chief of staff said.

Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, speaking at the Brookings Institution Fridayin Washington, D.C., explained that replacement forces to Afghanistan in2014 could be affected by a short-age of training dollars and beforced to delay their deployment.

The Department of Defense hasalready agreed to nearly $800 bil-lion in cuts, the general said. Sequestration will mean an additional $500 bil-lion in defense cuts, and shifting funding for improvised explosive device, orIED, detection and electronic warfare equipment from overseas contingen-cy operations budgets to service operations and maintenance budgets willmean an additional $100 billion in cuts.

The U.S. military is looking now at a possible $1.3 trillion in defense cutsoverall, Odierno said. Compounding cuts to defense budgets is the lack ofa confirmed budget for the services – the military is operating now on a“continuing resolution,” which is how Congress funds the government ifit has not passed an appropriations bill.

One second left in the game, he linedup the shot and launched the ball throughthe air. The buzzer sounded, followed bythe swish of success.

The crowd cheered wildly, even thoughthe shot didn’t win the game for his team,while his opponents gave him high-fivesand congratulated him in the spirit ofsportsmanship.

Moments like these were plentiful Feb. 9at Langley Air Force Base where the 2013Area 22 Special Olympics were held.

“All of the kids and adults were so happyjust to compete,” said Tech. Sgt. Jessica Cov-ington, 633rd Force Support Squadron fit-ness assessment cell noncommissioned of-ficer in charge. “You appreciate their effort.”

According to their official website, theSpecial Olympics is an organization ded-icated to giving special-needs individu-als an opportunity to compete in a wide-range of sporting events. In support ofSpecial Olympics, Langley hosted basket-ball games for the local chapter. Special-needs children and adults came togetherwith their caretakers and coaches to com-pete in a day-long tournament.

“When the athletes get on the court,sometimes you forget they even have adisability,” said Covington. “They are justlike us – people who want to compete andhave a good time.”

For Covington, this event was not her firstexperience working with Special Olympics.

“I worked with Special Olympics backin high school and at my last base,” saidCovington. “Their spirit of competitionand teamwork is still inspiring to me.”

She went on to say many athletes lookedup to her and were grateful for Team Lang-ley’s ability to host the event.

“They were all very nice, both playersand staff,” said Covington. “Even thoughthey planned most of the tournament andlogistics, you would think we did it all byhow they treated us.”

The feeling of thanks and generosity wasmutual for Master Sgt. Michael Daugherty,a Langley volunteer at the Special Olympics.

“I enjoy working with others; plus Ilike competitive sporting events,” saidDaugherty. “So if I also have the opportu-nity to help someone, why not?”

Daugherty explained how hard it canbe when someone needs help, and alsohow good it feels to be that help.

“When I volunteer or help someone,the feeling I get is hard to explain,” saidDaugherty. “If you need help, it is such arelief to receive it, so to be that help is real-ly a win-win; they feel good and so do I.”

Even though the Special Olympics arenot currently scheduled to return to Lang-ley next year, Langley Airmen believe thememory of the willingness to competeand their spirit of sportsmanship from theathletes will last a lifetime.

Joint Task Force-Civil Support con-ducted a deployment readiness exercise,or DRE, Feb. 11 to ensure the unit’s pre-paredness to support the PresidentialState of the Union Address.

The exercise tested the command’sreadiness and ability to respond quick-ly to a National Special Security Eventwithin two hours of notification of a cata-strophic event in the homeland, whethermanmade or a natural disaster.

“The DREs ensure the command is at ahigher level of readiness for the events inorder to respond rapidly to an incident inaccordance with established guidelines,”said U.S. Marine Col. David Olszowy,deputy commander of JTF-CS. “Period-ic DREs, whether they are deliberate orno-notice evaluations, will help instilland reinforce an expeditionary mindsetthroughout the command.”

After the simulated notification of acatastrophic event, JTF-CS members re-ceived a mission brief, inspected bags,

packed vehicles and accounted for all re-sponders to ensure readiness within thetwo-hour window.

Following inspections, responders splitup into deployment teams, loaded bagsinto trucks, conducted a convoy brief andawaited the order to deploy.

The result? JTF-CS was ready to re-spond quickly in the event of a crisis inthe Washington, D.C. area.

Along with the readiness exercise, JTF-CS deployed a team of medical, logistical,communications and response experts toWashington D.C. on Feb. 10 to assist JointTask Force National Capitol Region withresponse planning efforts for the State ofthe Union Address.

JTF-CS plans to conduct additional DREsin the coming months. “These exercisesgive us the opportunity to hone our deploy-ment procedures and processes to ensurethat we are prepared for rapid deploymentat all times. This is critically important if theNSSE will take place after hours, on week-ends or holidays,” said Olszowy.

The 128th Aviation Brigade, located atFort Eustis, Va., serves as the indoctrina-tion channel for all enlisted U.S. Army avi-ation Soldiers. Every Soldier charged withserving around the globe to keep Armyhelicopters airborne and in the fight pass-es through the classrooms and hangarsof the brigade, leaving with world-classtraining that allows them to support Armyaviation objectives.

The 1st Battalion, 210th Aviation Reg-iment, one of three subordinate units inthe brigade, commands, controls andprovides administrative and logisticalsupport for aviation instructors and cad-re in three companies. The companies –A, B, and C – execute Advanced Individ-ual and Military Occupational Specialityreclassification training for six aviationcareer fields.

Additionally, the 1-210th provides Ad-vanced Leader Courses, a 15K AircraftComponents Repair Supervisor SeniorLeaders Course and 151A Warrant Offi-cer basic and advanced courses. The bat-talion even invites and trains techniciansfrom allied nations, demonstrating theArmy’s expertise and capabilities in mil-itary aviation.

The battalion commander, Lt. Col. Ver-non Miles, said the unit’s primary focusis “to provide unsurpassed training, en-suring U.S. Army aviation brigades andpartner nations have the best-qualifiedhelicopter maintainers in the world.”

Each company trains its enlisted Sol-diers in a specific airframe or skill. A Co.trains Soldiers how to perform mainte-nance on the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior scouthelicopter. Soldiers from two MOS codesare assigned to the company: 15S stu-dents learn general aircraft maintenance,while 15J students learn armament andelectrical system maintenance.

A Co. also trains the Army’s 151A avi-ation maintenance technician warrant of-ficers in leadership and professional mil-itary education courses. Miles said mostwarrant officers coming through the bat-talion were prior enlisted technicians,and are now “focusing less on turning

wrenches and more on management.”B Co. trains Soldiers to maintain the

AH-64D Apache attack helicopter. Like ACo., B Co. also trains two enlisted MOSfields: 15R troops learn general mainte-nance, and 15Y students learn armamentand electrical systems for the Apache.

The third company, C Co., trains studentsin electrical and avionics systems. Unlikethe Soldiers in the adjacent companies,C Co. students learn “across the board”maintenance skills that are used universal-ly across the Army’s helicopter fleet.

Approximately 3,400 Soldiers attendedtraining at the 1-210th Avn. Rgt. in 2012,with more than 3,600 students scheduled

to train per year in 2013 and 2014, accord-ing to Nello Lopez, the battalion’s deputycommander. To accommodate the largenumber of students, classes are sched-uled 24 hours a day, six days a week.

The increase in enrollment is in con-trast to recent cuts in military spendingdue to budget constraints. Miles said theemphasis on Army aviation in the currentand future battlespace is driving the in-creased training. Many of the incomingstudents will likely receive orders to thenewly-formed 4th Combat Aviation Bri-gade at Fort Carson, Colo.

“Through the last 11 years of combat,commanders and general officers acrossthe Army have said ‘Whatever you do,don’t touch Army aviation.’ It’s no lon-ger a ‘nice to have’ asset like it was in [theVietnam War] – it’s critical,” he explained.“Our number of students here has beenuptempo to get the Soldiers prepared togo forward and fill the positions.”

With the increased focus on aviationcomes cutting-edge technologies. The bat-talion possesses more than $1.6 billion intraining devices, in addition to operation-al aircraft. These devices, which includecross-sections and hulls of helicopters, al-low instructors to simulate hundreds oftraining scenarios for students without

impacting the mission readiness of actu-al helicopters.

Miles said the most important elementstaught in the battalion’s courses are safetyand critical thinking, as maintainers cannotperform in today’s Army without either.

“I always ask ‘What is an aviation me-chanic?’ Sure, he fixes aircraft, but that’sonly a small portion of his job. The big-ger picture is that he’s an analyst. He hasto figure out what the problem is first,”said Miles. “You’re out in a combat situ-ation, and an aircraft comes back in bro-ken. It could have combat damage, or itmay be something the pilots did, or per-haps just normal wear and tear. Thatmechanic has a very little bit of time toanalyze the problem, go back into themanuals, follow the steps and proce-dures, order the parts, fix it, and get itprepared to fly its next mission.”

“We have a lot of kids who know howto turn wrenches and know what thetools are, but they don’t yet have whatwe call ‘Aviation Pride,’” Lopez added.“We always teach safety first, then wefocus on critical thinking. They can allfollow procedures, but they learn to doit safely and precisely.”

While the high-tech training devices give Sol-diers the tools of the trade, Miles and Lopez said theunit’s 254 instructors are the “true keys to success.”The battalion boasts experienced Soldiers and ci-vilian professionals as instructors, many who haveworked their entire careers in military aviation.

The commander said their wealth of experi-ence earned them the job, and that the 1-210thfocuses on hiring the best possible instructors.Today’s youth grew up in an era flush with elec-tronic devices, toys and games, which Miles saidpresents a challenge for instructors working toacclimate young Soldiers with hands-on main-tenance practices.

“Most of our Soldiers grew up with touch-screens and video games. They haven’t workedwith mechanics before. In this environment,they’ll be working on the most expensive andsophisticated machinery in the U.S. Army,” saidMiles. “Our instructors bring these to be able towork with tools on multi-million dollar aircraft inthe middle of the night in combat situations to getit ready for the fight, and they need to teach it in away that these Soldiers can keep it in their mindsand be able to perform it all repeatedly.

“The instructors here are the pivotal point ofthis command,” he added. “They are what allowsus to train the best maintainers in the world.”

As with any response, time is a critical factor – the quickerthe response, the quicker life-saving and life-sustaining person-nel and equipment can be employed. Regular exercises to testthe command’s response ability help ensure readiness, accord-ing to Olszowy. Gear can be pre-packed and pre-staged, vehiclesinspected and fueled, and teams assembled in pre-determinedlocations at pre-designated times. All this allows JTF-CS to cutdown on the time needed to respond. Further, these exercisessimulate response to a natural disaster or a chemical, biological,radiological, nuclear incident, the command’s primary mission.

When directed, JTF-CS provides command and control of 5,200federal military forces – known as the Defense CBRN ResponseForce – located at more than 36 locations throughout the U.S.

Although CBRN and NSSE incident response are the com-mand’s primary focus, the unit also has the expertise andtraining to respond to natural disasters such as earthquakesand hurricanes.

In November 2012, JTF-CS rapidly deployed to Joint Base Mc-Guire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., in support of Hurricane Sandy reliefefforts. During the command’s two week deployment, JTF-CScoordinated a variety of federal military support to aid relief ef-forts, including 80 strategic airlift missions conducted by the AirMobility Command, 600 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers person-nel currently pumping 11 tunnels and waste water treatmentplants in both New York and New Jersey, and more than twomillion meals delivered by the Defense Logistics Agency.

The average adult takes a breathabout 17 times every minute. When thatrate fluctuates unnaturally, pulmonolo-gists step in.

Pulmonology is the study of the lungsand respiratory system. When Depart-ment of Defense employees, Servicemembers or their families feel a littleshort of breath, the pulmonology teamat U.S. Air Force Hospital Langley atLangley Air Force Base, Va., gives thema little breathing room.

“Our job is to help patients breatheeasier,” said Dr. (Maj.) Adam Bostick,Director of Pulmonary and Critical-CareMedicine. “We have the facilities to bothdiagnose and treat patients with a widerange of respiratory problems.”

“Many diseases and injuries affect therespiratory system at one point or an-other,” said Bostick. “Really, the pulm-onologist has to be a jack-of-all-trades.”

The core of Bostick’s work consists ofdiagnosing and treating patients withcancer, poor blood oxygenation or oth-er diseases, to include chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema,chronic bronchitis and asthma. He spendsthe rest of his time helping doctors frommultiple clinics evaluate and diagnose pa-tients. Given the wide array of equipmentat his disposal, Bostick can provide addi-tional data to his fellow doctors.

The clinic usually treats approximate-ly 40 patients a week in a variety of clin-ical suites. Asthma testing rooms and anew bronchoscopy suite allow the doc-tors to conduct more complex diagnosisand treatment.

With the versatility and wide-rang-ing skill set of a pulmonologist, Bostickis often tasked with duty at the inten-sive care unit. Patients with severe in-fections resulting in low blood pressureand patients suffering from respiratoryfailure are examples of patients treatedin the ICU. Bostick can perform surgicalprocedures and diagnostics quickly forthese patients to get them back on theroad to recovery.

“I often work in the ICU,” said Bos-tick. “It is imperative that a patient canbreathe, and it is the job of the ICU doc-tor to make sure that happens.”

ther, less invasive procedures on a dai-y basis. On Feb. 12, Bostick conduct-d a bronchoscopy on Master Sgt. Dar-

win Mallari, Headquarters Air CombatCommand, command support sectionuperintendent.A bronchoscopy is a procedure wheredoctor slides a tube through a pa-

ent’s nasal airway. The tube has amall camera attached to it and an open-ng through which a brush or fluids cane inserted. The doctor checks the insidef the patient’s lungs for obstructions orisease, and then uses treated water or

he brush to take samples to further testhe patient’s health.

Mallari underwent conscious seda-on during the procedure.“I think it went pretty smoothly,” said

Mallari after the procedure. “I am def-initely happy the procedure could bedone here.”

If not for the facilities offered at Lang-ley, Mallari would need to travel to Ports-mouth for his procedure, which is anhour away from his house. Since Lang-ley has expanded its capabilities, Mallariwas relieved to discover his procedurewould instead be ten minutes away.

Not only was he happy with the loca-tion; he was also pleased with the carehe received. Soon after the procedure,Mallari was released from the hospital.

“I knew they were trying to weed ev-erything out to find my problem,” saidMallari. “You can tell Dr. Bostick cares.”

Whether coming out of the ICU, bron-choscopy suite or one of the testing fa-cilities, Bostick and his team know thepatients are leaving the pulmonologyclinic breathing easier than before.

Langley is open to all referrals un-der this specialty, Pulmonary Medicine,and currently has plenty of access to ac-cept new patients. Please call the Refer-ral Management Center at 764-9999 forquestions on how to be seen in the Pul-monology Clinic.

If customers are interested in taking aclass offered during the day but can onlyattend during evenings, Donna Cloy, ACSArmy Family Team Building program man-ager, encouraged them to simply call and re-quest an evening version of the class.

By Tech. Sgt. April Wickes633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

A natural disaster or major acci-dent can happen on any given dayat any given time, so it’s importantfor the men and women at Joint BaseLangley-Eustis to be prepared. Luck-ily, there is at least one person inthe Wing Plans and Evaluations of-fice who can lead a team of person-nel while possessing the tools, expe-rience and know-how to get the jobdone.

With 16 years of both militaryand civilian experience in plans andevaluations, Mark Atlow, wing ex-ercise plans specialist for the 633rdAir Base Wing Plans and Evalua-tions office, is more than qualifiedto handle the heavy workload thatcomes with the job.

“I enjoy working and developingexercises, and being able to see peo-ple do the things they need to do [tocomplete the mission],” Atlow said.

His passion was strong enoughto continue in XP as a civilian, evenafter serving 25 years and retiringfrom the U.S. Air Force.

Atlow is in charge of managing localexercises for JBLE; a job that takes threeto four months of planning per exer-cise. He coordinates exercises usingnumerous agencies that must worktogether through meetings, planning,deficiency tracking, and script and re-port writing. The personnel must alsoidentify objectives, a location, neededresources and deficiencies.

With six to eight exercises per year,planning can be a daunting task. It’simportant and worthwhile to see thebig picture and how everything fitstogether, Atlow said.

“When you get into planning,you see how everything fits into ev-erything else,” said Atlow. “You seehow Security Forces responds andwhat they’re responsible for. Yousee how the Medical Group andPublic Affairs fit into disaster pre-paredness and planning.”

Atlow plans natural disaster andmajor accident exercises to enablethe preparedness of JBLE personnel

for numerous events. Each exerciseis planned in a different scope be-cause these simulations are based onreal possible threats to JBLE.

“When we plan the natural disas-ter exercise, we focus on hurricanes,flooding and tornados,” said Atlow.“Those are the biggest natural-disas-ter threats to our installation.”

According to Atlow, when planningmajor accidents, the range of eventsis greater than with natural disasters.There are possibilities of aircraft crash-es both on-base or off-base, an activeshooter scenario or a terrorist grouptargeting JBLE because of the variousmissions of both installations.

The significance of exercises alsoimpacts the base personnel, allow-ing them to prepare for real worlddisasters and incidents, which At-low hopes will never happen.

“Exercises help Airmen build com-petencies in their respective subjectmatter areas, reinforce proceduralcompliance, identify weaknesses det-rimental to mission(s), and highlightefficiencies and best practices,” saidMaster Sgt. Mike Knipmeyer, 633rdCivil Engineer Squadron joint baseemergency manager. “All of thesefactors contribute to building an Air-man’s confidence and ability to adaptto events and incidents in a mannerthat assures mission success.”

This initiative to prepare the basecan be seen through actions takenprior to Hurricane Sandy in Octo-ber 2012.

“Just before the hurricane, we heldtwo exercises,” said Atlow. “Every-thing base personnel did for thoseexercises, they had to do two to threeweeks later during the actual hurri-cane. It was very beneficial.”

While Atlow’s experience has pre-pared him for many challenges, heis preparing for perhaps his biggesttest yet; an off-base exercise involv-ing a multitude of external agencies.

“We have to know where their juris-diction ends and ours begins so linesdon’t get muddied,” he said. “As amilitary, we have specific guidelinesand rules we have to follow and some-times the local community doesn’t un-derstand what our guidelines are andwhere we can and can’t do things; sothis exercise is important.”

While Atlow and his team have al-ready planned a multitude of exer-cises from aircraft crashes to active-shooter scenarios, they continue tochallenge JBLE to plan and evaluateat all levels.

“Firemen put out fires, but may notknow some of the things they don’tdo on a daily basis,” Atlow said. “It’sthe same thing with people in all otherorganizations... If these tasks can’t al-ways be put into an exercise, peopleshould still evaluate themselves andhone their skills.”

The importance of having XP con-duct and monitor exercises is that itplaces safety and preparedness in theforefront, ensuring JBLE can accom-plish its mission.

■ March 2 – “Fly Girls.” At the height of World War II,more than a thousand women left their homes and jobs forthe opportunity of a lifetime – joining theWomen’s Air ForceService Pilots to become the first female pilots to fly for theUnited States military. Drawing on archival footage, rarely-seen home movies, and interviews with the pilots them-selves, the women of the WASP take wing once again, to

tell their stories of skill, determination and courage.■ March 9 – “Lioness.” How did five female Army sup-

port soldiers, mechanics, supply clerks and engineers endup fighting alongside the Marines in some of the bloodiestcounterinsurgency battles of the Iraq War? “Lioness” is anintimate look at war through the eyes of the first women inU.S. history sent into direct ground combat, despite a poli-cy that banned them from doing so.

From the home front and factories to the bat-tlefields, the film examines women’s sacrifices as well astheir demonstrations of competency at this critical turningpoint in our country’s history.

■ March 23 – “Top Secret Rosies: The Female Com-

puters of WWII.” In 1942, a secret U.S. military programwas launched to recruit women to the war effort. This clan-destine search targeted female mathematicians who wouldbecome human “computers” for the U.S. Army. From thebombing of Axis Europe to the assaults on Japanese strong-holds, women worked around-the-clock, six days a week,creating ballistic tables that proved crucial to the Allies’ suc-cess. When the first electronic computer was developed toaid the Army’s calculation efforts, six of these women weretapped to become its first programmers.

By Debbie GildeaAF PERSONNEL CENTER PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Air Force will implement theenlisted date of separation rollbackprogram this fiscal year, in additionto several voluntary force manage-ment programs that were announcedFeb. 5, Air Force Personnel Center of-ficials said.

The rollback will accelerate the dateof separation for senior master ser-geants and below who meet requiredcriteria, said Lt. Col. Shelley Strong,AFPC operations division chief. Air-men affected must separate from theAir Force by May 31, and those eligi-ble to retire must do so effective June1 or earlier.

The rollback program allows com-manders to consider Airmen for se-lective reenlistment early, if theymeet program criteria. Airman canbe considered for the DOS rollbackonly if they:

■ Have fewer than 14 years of to-tal active federal military service asof May 31, 2013, or 20 years or moreTAFMS on or before May 31, 2013, and;

■ Have a May 31, 2013 or laterDOS, and;

■ Have one of the reporting iden-tifiers, reenlistment eligibility codes,assignment eligibility codes or gradestatus reasons defined in the programcommander action table.

Identifiers or codes that require sep-aration are established when a secondterm or career airman refuses to getretainability for training, retraining,or professional military education ordeclines training, retraining, or PME;when an Airman waiting for retrain-ing is disqualified for cause, when anAirman is awaiting discharge, separa-tion or retirement for cause, and oth-er similar circumstances, Strong said.

Airmen eligible for retirement mayalso be affected by the DOS rollback.

“It’s important that retirement-eligi-ble members affected by the programsubmit their retirement request byMarch 29 this year,” Strong said. “En-listed retirement is not automatic, soaffected members who don’t submittheir request by March 29 will be pro-jected for separation instead.”

Airmen separated under DOS roll-back won’t be required to return un-earned portions of bonuses, specialpays, or other monetary incentives,and will not be entitled to any un-

paid portions of bonuses, specialpays, or other monetary incentives.

If they meet Post-9/11 GI Bill eligi-bility requirements and are honorablydischarged, involuntary separationwill not affect their benefits. However,members who transferred educationbenefits to their dependents who donot complete their related active dutyservice commitment may be requiredto repay those benefits.

Airmen with six or more, but lessthan 20, years of active service whoare not in their initial term of enlist-ment may be authorized one-halfseparation pay, but will be requiredto sign an Individual Ready ReserveAgreement to receive that benefit.

In addition, Airmen who served 180days or more on active duty who areseparated under the DOS rollback willbe authorized transition assistancebenefits, such as permissive tempo-rary duty, 180 days extended medicalcare for themselves and their familymembers, and two years of commis-sary and exchange privileges.

By Karen ParrishAMERICAN FORCES PRESS SERVICE

The president’s announcement that34,000 U.S. troops will come out of Af-ghanistan in the next 12 months makessense in the context of the broadercampaign, Defense Secretary Leon E.Panetta said Feb. 15.

During what he called his last Pen-tagon news conference, the secretarynoted that when he assumed his posi-tion in mid-2011, the U.S. troop surgewas fully in place, with about 100,000Service members on the ground there.

“These additional forces have ex-panded our footprint and providedthe combat power necessary to dis-rupt the insurgency and push it out

of its traditional strongholds, particu-larly in the south,” he said.

In the not quite two years since, thesecretary said, U.S. and coalition forc-es have partnered closely with theirAfghan counterparts, which are nowat their full-end strength of 352,000.Those forces are leading nearly 90percent of security operations in Af-ghanistan, and are responsible for thesecurity of more than three-fourths ofthe people, he said.

“They have retained security gainseven as the United States has drawndown the surge forces that we hadthere, the 33,000,” Panetta said.

He added that Marine Corps Gen.John R.Allen, who Feb. 10 turned overcommand of U.S. forces in Afghani-

stan as well as NATO’s InternationalSecurity Assistance Force, had for thepast several months thoroughly as-sessed the campaign plan and whattroop strength is required to carry itout. Panetta said he fully supportedAllen’s recommendations, which in-formed the president’s decision.

“The president’s decision, an-nounced last night, ... puts us firmlyon a path, I believe, to fulfill our mis-sion in Afghanistan,” he said.

The secretary said he’s confident thenew ISAF commander, Marine CorpsGen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., “will havethe combat power he needs to protectour forces and to continue buildingup the capabilities of the Afghan na-tional security forces.”
