000908.  The lesson of Korea:  air dominance critical for victory

by Whit Peters
Secretary of the Air Force

WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- On the 50th anniversary of the Korean War, all
Americans can take pride in their Air Force, which celebrated its own golden
anniversary in 1997.  Just last year, as part of America's joint force team,
Air Force men and women executed Operation Allied Force, bringing a regional
dictator to heel.  Through their actions, NATO was able to restore peace to
Kosovo without losing the life of a single soldier, sailor, or airman to
enemy action.

It has taken over five decades to build an Air Force capable of that degree
of air dominance.  Along the way many brave airmen paid the ultimate price
for combat against worse odds.  A half-century ago in Korea, before the era
of precision and stand-off weapons, more than eleven hundred of our airmen
lost their lives.  We turn our thoughts to them with profound gratitude and
with renewed determination to keep our Air Force so strong that we never
again have to lose so many precious lives.

Emblematic of our Air Force heroes in Korea were four little-known men who
received the Medal of Honor after dying in battle.

Fighter squadron commander Maj. Louis Joseph Sebille was one of the many
World War II veterans the Air Force sent to South Korea in the summer of
1950.  On Aug. 5, flying a World War II-era F-51 Mustang, Sebille attacked
North Korean troops, artillery, and armored vehicles hidden along a river
bank near Hamchang, South Korea.  Badly hit during one attack run, Sebille
chose to attack again, this time deliberately crashing into the enemy
concentration.

Less than four months after Sebille's death, an American counteroffensive
had driven North Korean forces out of South Korea and nearly taken all of
North Korea as well.  Then a Communist Chinese offensive sent our forces
reeling south again.  Once more air power played a crucial role in halting
this invasion and then helping our ground forces reestablish a front line
near the thirty-eighth parallel, the boundary between North and South Korea.


For more than two years, Air Force airmen flew dangerous attack missions in
support of our forces.  On the night of Sept. 14, 1951, flying a
propeller-driven B-26 bomber, Capt. John Springer Walmsley, Jr., attacked a
supply train near Yangdok, North Korea.  Despite withering anti-aircraft
fire, he heroically persisted until shot down while trying to guide another
airplane against the same target.

As deadly as ground fire proved to be, the situation of our ground and air
forces would have been much worse had communist forces been able to exert
their own air power along the front lines.  But Air Force bombers kept
Chinese airfields in North Korea out of action, while F-86 Sabres succeeded
in downing so many MiG-15 jet fighters in "MiG Alley" along the Chinese
border that American forces further south were free of enemy air attack.

This victory did not come without a price.  On Feb. 10, 1952, F-86 squadron
commander Maj. George Andrew Davis, Jr., saw a dozen MiG-15s threatening
other planes.  Despite overwhelming odds, Davis unhesitatingly attacked.
After downing two MiGs (raising his total of Korean War victories to
fourteen and his lifetime total to twenty-one), Davis was shot down -- but
the MiG threat was broken up, and the endangered American planes got away.

By the end of 1952, jet fighters had largely replaced the vulnerable F-51s
for air-to-ground support.  Even the older F-80 jet fighters sometimes
proved too vulnerable.  Maj. Charles Joseph Loring, Jr., was an F-80
squadron operations officer who had been a prisoner of war in Germany during
World War II.  On Nov. 22, 1952, he attacked Chinese artillery firing on
American troops.  Hit repeatedly during his dive-bombing run, Loring guided
his stricken fighter into the enemy gun emplacement.

Today a lot has changed.  We no longer depend on strafing and dive-bombing;
we drop laser and satellite guided weapons -- precisely -- from altitudes
above the anti-aircraft threat.  We attack armor with smart weapons that
guide themselves to the targets.  We can attack with standoff weapons when
the air defense threat is too great for manned attack.  We have sensor
systems to find and fix targets, and Airborne Warning and Control Systems to
control the air war.  And we have developed the radars and air-to-air
missiles that make the F-15 superior to other current-day fighters.

Because of the evolution of air power, from Korea to Kosovo, no American
soldier has been attacked from the air for more than 50 years, since the
mid-point of the Korean War.  Today's Air Force truly provides freedom from
attack, freedom to maneuver, and freedom to attack for the whole joint team.


But one key ingredient has remained the same:  The men and women of the Air
Force, who continue to show courage, dedication, and skill as they fly in
defense of freedom as did their forebears in Korea and other conflicts.  We
owe it to them, and to the memory of those who have gone before, to ensure
that they have the finest possible organization, training, and equipment, so
that they can do their job with minimal risk and maximum chance of success.

So on this 50th anniversary of the Korean War, let us not forget the
critical lynchpin of our Korean victory:  The air domination we enjoyed over
the Korean peninsula, and the dedicated Air Force and industry people who
made it possible.  Thanks to that air power, the task of all other members
of our joint force team was rendered that much easier.  As we enter the 21st
century, it is even more critical -- in the era of rapid war and precision
weapons -- to ensure we dominate the air, for modern aerospace power is
truly America's combat edge over our foes, now and for the future.

000904.  Non-command sponsored dependents can travel overseas via Space A

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (AFPN) -- Non-command sponsored dependents of
active-duty members serving in unaccompanied overseas tours may now travel
space available to and from the member's location.

To use the space-A option, the active-duty member must obtain written
approval from the installation commander concerned for the non-command
sponsored dependent to travel.   Dependents then must present a copy of this
approval letter to the servicing air passenger terminal.

Sponsors must also ensure dependents have sufficient funds to pay for
commercial transportation if space-A travel becomes unavailable.  An
eligible parent or guardian must accompany dependents under age 18.

Commanders in the Korean theater and at Diego Garcia will not offer this
travel privilege in their area of responsibility.  For more information,
people can check with their local passenger service representatives.

000902.  AIA enlisted airborne AFSCs to be designated as aviators

by Douglas Karas
Air Intelligence Agency Public Affairs

KELLY AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- By April 2001, two new Air Force
specialty codes will have become part of the Air Intelligence Agency's
toolbox, and nearly 900 of AIA's enlisted people will have been converted
into those AFSCs.

This conversion will place AIA's airborne cryptologic linguists, 1N3XX, and
some of its airborne electronic warfare systems specialists, 2A1X7, into the
Career Enlisted Aviator Program.

"This will give AIA's flyers the status they deserve as professional
aviators," said Chief Master Sgt. Randy Shaul, AIA's airborne logistics
superintendent.  "This will affect 99 2A1X7s in AIA, and their new AFSC will
be 1A3X1A.

"A great benefit will come from the ability to manage them as aircrew
members," said Shaul.  "Assignments will be made in coordination with the
career field functional managers, and the potential assignment options for
our 2A1X7s will increase from four to 31.  Moving into this career field may
also give them the opportunity to work on platforms beside the Rivet Joint."

Those 2A1X7s converted to the 1A3X1A career field will also benefit from a
clearly mapped career path.

"In the past, they were in limbo," explained Shaul.  "They were not entirely
maintainers or aircrew.  They don't have to balance the requirements for
being promoted as a maintainer with those of an operator.  There's no
question now that they are aviators.  Their career progression runs from
weapons system qualification to trainer, to evaluator."

The change should also lessen the  operation tempo for the airborne 2A1X7s.

"I think that the number of deployment days for these flyers could be cut in
half," said Shaul.

Between 700 and 800 cryptologic linguists will also be converted to what
will probably be the 1A8XX career field, according to Chief Master Sgt. Jim
Gragg, the operations superintendent for the 67th Intelligence Wing.

Entry into CEAP offers these airborne 1N3XXs several benefits.  Assignments
will be done individually based on qualifications for the job, and a
position will be established at the Air Force Personnel Center to handle
assignments for the new career field.  Additionally, it should become easier
to justify authorizations.

"The authorizations will be tied to platforms and derived from crew ratios
and mission manning," said Senior Master Sgt. Mark Mahaffey, AIA's
functional manager for the cryptologic linguist career field.  "There will
be no debate about how many people we'll need to do the mission.  Hopefully,
increased manpower with improved retention will lessen the OPSTEMPO on these
aviators, too.

"The AFSC structure will help streamline procedures to train airborne
linguists into more than one language," continued Mahaffey.

Another benefit will be a smoother training pipeline flow.  The aircrew
training will be conducted before language training at the Defense Language
Institute.  This reversal should cut down on the six to eight month wait
that is now common as cryptologic linguists wait for seats in survival
school.

The conversion of these AFSC's also brings with it eligibility to receive
Career Enlisted Flight Incentive Pay.

Payment of the CEFIP for certain flying AFSCs began in October.  It was
developed to compensate career enlisted aviators for the hazardous nature of
their jobs as well as to provide an incentive to attract people to these
specialties and retain them through their careers, according to Air Force
officials.

CEFIP will be paid in place of Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay.  Unlike HDIP,
those meeting the operational flying requirements of the CEAP will receive
the pay even when assigned to non-flying duties.  CEFIP replaces HDIP, it
will not affect Foreign Language Proficiency Pay received by cryptologic
linguists.

"Those are completely independent programs," explained Mahaffey.

The pay rate for CEFIP is based on the individual years of aviation service
and meeting flying "gates."

The pay rate for CEFIP begins with $150 a month for those with four years of
aviation service.  CEFIP pays $225 a month to those between four and eight
years of aviation service, $350 a month to those between eight and 14 years,
and $400 a month to those over 14 years of aviation service.  The top rate
for HDIP is currently $240.

Members must meet three "gates."  They must fly for six of their first 10
years to receive continuous CEFIP through their 15th year.  They must fly
for nine of their first 15 years to receive continuous CEFIP through their
20th year, and they must fly 14 of their first 20 years to receive
uninterrupted CEFIP through their 25th year of aviation service.

The Fiscal 2000 National Defense Authorization Act included a "save pay"
provision for members transitioning from HDIP to CEFIP.  Under this
provision, airmen maintain their HDIP rate if it is higher than their new
CEFIP rate.

"This 'save pay' provision will also apply to our airmen in 2001," said
Mahaffey.

As all of these agencies work together to bring 1N3XX's and 2A1X7's into
CEAP, AIA is still considering the future of its other airborne intelligence
AFSC's.

"We are concentrating on making the current transition smooth," continued
Mahaffey.  "A good transition will keep the door open. In the meantime, we
continue to explore the possibilities for including our other airborne
intelligence AFSC's into CEAP."

This final transition to the 1A8XX and 1A3X1 career fields will end a
complex process that started in 1997, and will incorporate several other
changes.  For example, the 1A3X1s  and 1A8XXs will compete for promotion
only within their new career fields, and Selective Re-enlistment Bonuses
will be determined by the retention rates in these career fields.

"We don't do this in isolation," said Gragg.  "We're working very closely
with the Air Staff, with the Air Force Personnel Center and with Air
Education and Training Command.  They are all involved with every step of
this, because all of these areas are impacted by decisions affecting an
AFSC."

"I'm very pleased to see this happening for our enlisted flyers," said AIA
Command Chief Master Sgt. David Hill.  "This is definitely the right thing
to do for our Air Force and the Air Intelligence Agency.  I applaud all of
those who are involved and working hard on this initiative."

000907.  Space Command's Y2K program recognized for excellence

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo (AFPN) -- Last year's extensive Y2K public
affairs program by NORAD, U.S. Space Command and Air Force Space Command,
which sought to reassure the public that all command mission critical
systems were Y2K compliant, has been recognized by the Public Relations
Society of America with a prestigious Silver Anvil Award of Excellence for
crisis communications.

The Y2K program culminated in four days of continuous media coverage from
Dec. 27th to Jan. 1st.  Forty-eight international and national news agencies
based themselves at Cheyenne Mountain, here and at the joint
U.S./Russian-manned Center for Y2K Strategic Stability (also located here)
during the run-up to Y2K.  Colorado Springs became a major focal point for
media coverage and updates during the Y2K rollover.

"We are extremely proud of this high level award for our Y2K public affairs
program," said Air Force Col. Don Black, Public Affairs director for all
three commands during the Y2K rollover.  "Our commands did tremendous work
in preparing for Y2K and we went to great lengths to reassure the public of
our preparedness and confidence in our people and our systems."

The award was announced during PRSA's Annual Awards Banquet recentlly in New
York City.  (Courtesy of AFSPC News Service)



000905.  NCO earns Air Force transportation honor

by Tech. Sgt. John Scaggs
15th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii (AFPN) -- A key "mover" at Hickam has been

named the Air Force Transportation Noncommissioned Officer of the Year for
1999.

The Air Force's transportation hierarchy selected Tech. Sgt. Dave Noblin,
635th Air Mobility Support Squadron, for the honor.  For the award period,
32-year-old Noblin was the 635th's Air Terminal Operations Center
superintendent.  In January, Noblin became the squadron's transportation
management staff superintendent.

It marks the first time Noblin has received an Air Force-level honor.  The
White River Junction, Vt., native has been in Air Force transportation
related jobs for nearly 15 years.

Among the items highlighted by his supervisor, Capt. Joe Becker, was
Noblin's ability to build a superior quality assurance evaluator program for
$50 million airlift contracts.  Noblin supervised 15 quality assurance
evaluators, who inspected more than 400 aircraft.  One of the results was
identifying and reporting 10 contract violations to Headquarters Air
Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.

Noblin oversaw support of 7,200 missions, helping move 137,000 passengers
and 42,700 tons of cargo.  He helped revamp U.S. Customs billing procedures,
saving AMC $69,900 on duplicate billings.  Under Noblin's leadership, his
26-person section won AMC Best Air Terminal Operations Center for 1999.

Professionally, Noblin won the academic excellence award when he attended
the Air Terminal Managers Course.  Noblin also found time to complete
classes at Hawaii Pacific University, where he maintains a 4.0 grade point
average.  He is one class away from completing a Community College of the
Air Force degree in logistics management.

000901.  Rosebud offers hands-on training for medical reservists

ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFPN) -- To many movie buffs, "Rosebud" is a
line from a famous movie, but to a group of medical reservists, Rosebud will
take on a whole new meaning this summer.

A group of more than 30 doctors, dentists, nurses and medical technicians
from the 442nd Medical Squadron, Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., and the 920th
Aeromedical Staging Squadron, Patrick AFB, Fla., will travel to the Rosebud
(S.D.) Sioux Indian Reservation in July and August to provide medical and
administrative support at the Indian Health Services Hospital there.

"This is part of the innovative readiness training program," said Dave
Aikens, Air Force Reserve Command chief of medical readiness operations.
"The concept was brought about to find new training opportunities for
medical reservists and fulfill a need in the community."

The Air Force Reserve has been participating in this type of training at
Indian reservations since 1994.  Indian Health Services comes under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services and is responsible for providing
federal health services to nearly 1.5 million of the 2 million American
Indians and Alaska natives in the United States.  Reservists can perform
duty on Indian reservations as long as they don't compete with any
contracted health care.

"We provide physician and dental care," said Aikens.  "Dentistry is probably
the most difficult service to provide because there aren't that many
dentists and many of the people live so far from the hospital.  Routine care
just doesn't happen, and we provide that as well as emergency care."

Besides dental care, the reservists perform primary nursing care, pharmacy
and x-ray service, and emergency care.  In past deployments to the Indian
reservation, they have offered everything from basic patient assessment and
documentation to managing diabetic care to caring for trauma patients.  By
seeing an average of 35 patients per day, the teams have been able to
combine patient care with training requirements.

Lt. Col. Carol J. Stegall of the 434th Medical Squadron, Grissom Air Reserve
Base, Ind., was part of a group of 21 medical technicians, nurses and
physician assistants who worked at the reservation in October 1998.

"It was a challenging, educationally stimulating and culturally enlightening
experience, for which I am most grateful," said Stegall in her report.  "It
is an excellent training opportunity for reservists to have 'hands-on'
training, and at the same time be of immeasurable value to the staff and
patients at the Rosebud Health Facility."

Stegall's team took care of a wide variety of medical conditions, from
pediatric and prenatal care, to suicide attempts and cardiac patients.

According to Master Sgt. Billy Day, 442nd MDS superintendent of aerospace
management, this year's deployment will provide training opportunities not
normally available to unit reservists.

"We had other training opportunities but we wanted more hands-on medicine
for some of our younger troops," said Day.  "In a large medical center, they
don't always get to do too much.  But going as a group like this, they know
what people can do and what areas they need training in, so they get more
training and a greater variety of training."

Medics from the 442nd MDS who have gone to Rosebud in the past come back
with favorable stories about training opportunities.

"It's a much different environment," said Day.  "Here, we are used to a
modern hospital.  There, you learn you can still do it without a lot of the
automated equipment.  It's a lot more hands-on, and gives you the chance to
really practice medicine away from the hustle and bustle and rely more on
yourself."

Conditions are austere compared to the more populated areas of America.  It
takes more than two hours to drive from Rosebud to Rapid City, S.D.

"There's not much industry or jobs because of the isolation," said Aikens.
"But it's not as remote as some locations."

"It's hot, dry and dusty during the summer," said Day.  "It's not like some
deployments where reservists can go into town in the evening.  But it's a
great humanitarian mission, with innovative training."

A handful of other reservists are providing medical assistance elsewhere in
South Dakota and Montana this summer through the Innovative Readiness
Training program.

IRT is nothing new to the Air Force Reserve.  Civil engineers have built
houses and repaired roads on reservations, gaining valuable training in
career field tasks while helping communities in need of assistance.

000903.  High school seniors graduate among ancient ruins at Izmir

by Tech. Sgt. Ann Bennett
Air Force Print News

IZMIR AIR STATION, Turkey -- Seniors graduating from Izmir American High
School can definitely say their graduation ceremony was like no other.

The seven graduates of the Class of 2000 stood among the ruins of the
Library of Celsius in Ephesus, Turkey, to receive their diplomas June 10.

For about the last 20 years here, Izmir graduates have been surrounded by
the aura of ancient scholars as they took their big step toward the future.
It was no different for one of the smallest graduating classes in the
Department of Defense Dependent Schools System.

"It's a place that has been known for knowledge, and it signifies us moving
on to more advanced education," said 18-year-old Danielle Mace, class
valedictorian.

Ephesus is considered one of the largest, most well preserved archeological
sites in the world.  On its grounds lies one column of what's left of The
Temple of Artemis, one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.  The
foundation of Ephesus, an ancient Ionian Greek city, took place between 16th
and 11th centuries B.C.

Andrew Simes, 18, who has been attending the school since he was 5 years
old, said he has attended many graduations at this historical site and has
dreamed of his graduation for so long.  "I can't believe I'm finally going
to my own," he said.  "It's a wonderful feeling."

Under the awe-inspiring columns of the ancient library, it was fitting that
the students heard many words of wisdom and best wishes from various
speakers.

Graduation guest speaker C. Eddy Mentzer, who is director of Izmir youth
programs, advised: "Don't become known for how much money you make or what
kind of house you live in, but become known for yourself -- who you are and
what you stand for.  Your road to the future will be rocky, filled with
pitfalls and detours, but if you do not quit, if you persevere through hard
times, you will be able to make a difference."
