Langley hosts Shine award ceremony By Airman 1st Class Kaylee Dubois 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Pilots from across the U.S. Air Force gathered for the 2015 Lt. Col. Anthony C. Shine Fighter Pilot Award ceremony at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, Aug. 11, 2016. The award is presented annually to recognize an exceptional U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who has proven excellence and professionalism in flight, as well as dedication to community service. “These pilots continue to be men who serve for more than themselves,” said Colleen Shine, daughter of Lt. Col. Shine, whom the award is in honor of. “They have devoted hours to their community and to the communities where they were deployed.” Colleen’s mother established the award when her husband, an A-7 Corsair II pilot, did not return home from the Vietnam War. Colonel Shine was missing in action for 24 years, and in 1996 his remains were repatriated and honored with a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia. Colleen continues to raise awareness for those who are prisoners of war or MIA, by focusing attention on the plight of America’s prisoners and missing not only in Vietnam, but also from World War II and the Korean War. The prestigious award continues to honor her father’s legacy while bringing awareness to his fate. For this year’s award, winners from 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 were

U.S. Air Force Capt. Brian J. Faughn, 16th Weapons School Instructor at Nellis AFB, Nevada, won the 2015 Lt. Col. Anthony C. Shine Fighter Pilot Award at Langley Air Force Base, Va., Aug. 11, 2016. Faughn earned the 2015 Anthony C. Shine Award while assigned to the 36th Fighter Squadron at Osan Air Base, Korea.

presented with the Shine Award together, a first for the award. “We are doing these awards together because of deployments,” said Shine. “This award is a reminder of the POW/MIA commitment to bring each service member back home. These pilots are experiencing deployments and losses just like those who flew in Vietnam. It’s the theme of continuity.” Capt. Brian earned the 2015 Anthony C. Shine Award while assigned to the 36th Fighter Squadron at Osan Air Base, Korea. Maj. David earned the 2014 Anthony C. Shine Award while assigned to the 16th Weapons Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Capt. Daniel earned the 2013 Anthony C. Shine Award while assigned to the 389th Fighter Squadron at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. Capt. Hugh earned the 2011 Anthony C. Shine Award while assigned to the 77th Fighter Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. “Col. Shine was a notch above the rest and those awarded are held to the same standards,” said Jack Mabry, Air Combat Command Headquarters formal training manager. “They are the most distinguished fighter pilots, not only with flying, but with community involvement, as well.” As Colleen remembers and honors her father through this award, Mabry

The 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 Lt. Col. Anthony C. Shine Fighter Pilot Award winners received engraved knives from Shine’s family during a ceremony at Langley Air Force Base, Va., Aug. 11, 2016. U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Thomas Deale, Air Combat Command Headquarters director of operations, presented the winners the awards with the Shine family.

credits her dedication to keeping the POW/MIA mission alive for the Americans still unaccounted for. “We don’t do what we do for awards,” said Brian, 16th Weapons School instructor at Nellis AFB, Nevada. “We do it to be the best pilots we can be for our Air Force, for our nation. Just as a way to uphold the example, uphold the excellence that fighter pilots before us have done. That’s what is important.” For more information, visit the National League of POW/MIA Families at www.pow-miafamilies.org.

IDRC: AIRMEN ALWAYS REMAIN READY The more “information you give out to the public, the more of a target we become. People just need to be careful.” -Michael Pascucci

•

Peninsula Warrior - Air Force

By Airman 1st Class Tristan Biese 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

All those who join the U.S. military serve with the understanding that they can be called upon to deploy at a moment’s notice. That is no exception to the U.S. Air Force Airmen stationed here. According to U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Kaitlin Mizner, Installation Deployment Readiness Center alternate installation officer, anyone can be tasked to deploy during their designated six-month deployment window and with as little as a 72-hour notice. For that reason Airmen should know the importance and the proper way to be prepared to deploy. The IDRC is the overall deployment management location for Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, and they are in charge of any behind-the-scenes scheduling and planning for deployments. Airmen must be aware of when they are eligible to deploy so they can plan and be prepared. According to Mizner, once an individual is notified about their deployment date, the first thing they should do is at-

•

www.peninsulawarrior.com

tend the initial deployment briefing. The initial deployment briefing shows most of what to do when preparing for deployments and some things that many Airmen might not think about. Scheduling appointments can be difficult and time consuming, especially around the weeks closer to an Airman’s date of departure. That is why it is important to schedule and finish briefings, training or medical appointments as soon as possible. Any medical issues should be taken care of early because if an individual is not medically fit or does not have the proper waiver, they may be disqualified from deploying. According to Michael Pascucci, the installation officer at the IDRC, many people don’t think about the simple things like who will take care of the house, car, belongings, children, or even preparing wills and powers of attorney. Pascucci said these things should be done even if an individual isn’t deploying. Individuals deploying should prepare their family for the reality that they may be leaving for six months to a year.

Be careful what is said or released on the internet regarding a deployment. Classified information such as travel dates, locations and duties performed on the deployment cannot be shared. “It’s a crazy world now,” said Pascucci. “The more information you give out to the public, the more of a target we become. People just need to be careful.” The unit deployment manager should be the contacted first in case of any questions. The UDM is there to help, guild, and answer any questions individuals deploying may have. [TJC1] [RDTUA6AA2] “Our job is to give individuals deploying the tools they need to make sure their deployment process goes smoothly,” said Tech. Sgt. Paul Williams, the 633rd wing staff alternate UDM. “We assist by helping get all their pre-deployment requirements and training done as soon as possible before they deploy.” Staying prepared for whatever may happen can reduce stress for the individual and the people around them, in the end, helping aid the overall mission of the Air Force.

Laid to rest: Fighter pilot remains found 72 years later By Tech. Sgt. Daylena S. Ricks 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The remains of U.S. Army Air Corps 1st Lt. Robert L. McIntosh were recently found after more than 72 years after his disappearance and were laid to rest in his hometown of Tipton, Indiana, Aug. 13, 2016. In 1944, the 27th Fighter Squadron P-38 Lightning pilot departed Foggia Airfield, Italy, on a strafing mission and never returned.

Seventy-two years ago, an Army Air Forces P-38 Lightning pilot from the 27th Fighter Squadron departed Foggia Airfield, Italy, on a strafing mission and never returned. After several attempts to locate the missing pilot, the remains of 1st Lt. Robert L. McIntosh have finally been found and were laid to rest in his hometown of Tipton, Indiana, Aug. 13, 2016. McIntosh joined the Army Air Forces on August 4, 1942. After flight training, he flew over South America, Africa, Sardinia and lastly, Italy, where he saw the most action. During his career, McIntosh earned a distinguished flying cross, was credited with downing four possible Nazi airplanes and was awarded the air medal with six oak leaf clusters. Following an air battle over Bologna, It-

aly, 21-year old McIntosh missed his target and crashed his aircraft due to poor visibility during bad weather. In August 2015, a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency recovery team excavated his crash site, with help from Archeologi dell’Aria, an Italian non-profit organization. A single bone fragment was found. To identify McIntosh’s remains, scientists from DPAA and the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory used mitochondrial DNA analysis, which matched two sisters, as well as dental and anthropological analysis and circumstantial evidence. Of the 16 million Americans who served in WWII, more than 400,000 died and 73,000 remain unaccounted for.

The 733rd Mission Support Group commander and command sergeant major held an introductory town hall for group personnel at Fort Eustis, Virginia, Aug. 9, 2016. After taking command of the 733rd MSG in June, Col. Ralph Clayton III and CSM James Herrington have visited with unit leaders to get a clear picture of how they want the organization to grow. â€œWe brought in all the leadership to identify a few things and the first thing was a vision,â€? said Clayton. â€œThe vision that came up was to be the model installation for service support group for our customers.â€? After identifying the vision for the 733rd MSG, Clayton and Herrington introduced their priorities. Their first priority is ensuring readiness by providing support for the units located on Joint Base LangleyEustis. This also entails providing units with a means to execute and enhance mission capabilities, said Clayton. Other areas of importance for 733rd MSG leaders is safety and security. â€œWe want to ensure that the [people] we are supporting are safe, as well as our workers, civilians, Soldiers

and Airmen,â€? said Clayton. â€œWhether itâ€™s the water, the two gates or the perimeter, we must maintain security and safety.â€? Improving professional development and customer support were also two main focuses for the new MSG leaders. Clayton looks to have customer service focus Soldiers and Airmen, their families, tenant units and local community members. Clayton and Herrington also discussed their expectations for all personnel that fall under the 733rd MSG: Â„ Take the hard right over the easy wrong Â„ Take ownership for what youâ€™re responsible for Â„ Pay attention to detail Â„ Have personal accountability and within each unit Â„ Be trustworthy and know that you have our trust Â„ Be leaders Â„ Be professional

Under Secretary of the Army visits JBLE Soldiers, attends Innovation Summit By Stephanie Slater ARMY CENTER FOR INITIAL MILITARY TRAINING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Under Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy held a town hall with Soldiers from various units at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Aug. 16, 2016. Murphy began the day participating in a physical training session with Soldiers from F Company, 1st Battalion, 222nd Aviation Regiment, 128th Aviation Brigade. The unit trains Advanced Individual Training Soldiers as maintainers for the Army’s helicopter fleet. Following the PT session, he recognized students and cadre who had distinguished themselves in the unit by presenting them with his coin. He also reminded the unit that they are Soldiers for Life. “Soldier for Life means you’re a leader of character for a lifetime of service,” said Murphy. “You are a civic asset to our nation.” Murphy mentioned to the unit that he would be spending some time at an Army Innovation Summit later that same day at The College of William and Mary in nearby Williamsburg, Virginia, where Army leaders work with members of industry and academia to examine the Army’s innovation efforts to equip Soldiers. “We’ll be talking about ways to make our Army better,” Murphy said. “You’re part of America’s varsity team, so if you have ideas on how to make our Army better, whether it’s now in AIT or beyond, make sure you forward your ideas to your chain of command.” In his opening remarks at the Innovation Summit, he told participants how he started his day doing PT with AIT students and their cadre, saying we have a duty to make it better for our next generation. “We owe these Soldiers, not just the duty to make sure they not have a fair fight, but that they are trained for the next fight that might come and where it might be, and that’s what we have to get at every single day,” Murphy said. Murphy hosted a town hall meeting where he emphasized the importance of serving the nation, and thanked those in attendance for their service. “Our nation of about 320 million people has asked for less than 1 percent to serve,” Murphy said. “You and your families are part of that 1 percent, and the civilians on our team. I want to thank you very much for being part of that 1 percent, we truly appreciate it.” Murphy spoke about several subjects at the town hall to include readiness to fight the next fight, individual readiness to be part of that fight and the importance of physical readiness.

Patrick J. Murphy, Under Secretary of the Army, presents a coin to the cadre of F-Company, 1-222 Aviation Regiment at Fort Eustis, Va., Aug. 16, 2016. While serving in Iraq, Murphy oversaw the justice system for the 1.5 million Iraqis in south central Baghdad and prosecuted two high-level terrorists in Iraq’s highest courts.

Murphy then addressed questions from Soldiers about education, transitioning from the military to civilian life, the transgender policy, and lengths of deployment and dwell times. In his closing comments, Murphy encouraged them to follow him on social media and also connect with the public about the Army. “We are all recruiters,” he said. “We all have an additional duty to generate the next generation of Soldiers.” Murphy also asked them to stay on the Army team. “We need you in the defining moments of our country’s history. You are part of America’s varsity team, and you are part of America’s best. We are grateful, and I hope I make you proud of our efforts, and we make you proud at the Pentagon.” The commanding general for the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training and Senior Commander, Maj. Gen. Anthony C. Funkhouser, concluded the town hall by expressing his appreciation for Murphy taking the time to speak with Soldiers and not forgetting his Soldier roots.

AL UDEID AIR BASE, Qatar — Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein recently visited the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility to get a sense of not only how the campaign is going as a member of the joint chiefs but also to get an understanding of how he can better support Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and coalition partners regarding the impact on the service today. To date, the air coalition has flown over 107,500 sorties and participated in more than 14,400 strikes in Iraq and Syria since operations began in August 2014. In addition, over 800 sorties and more than 140 strikes were conducted in Afghanistan since June 2016. The U.S. Air Force has played a significant role as part of the 20-nation air coalition. Each Airman’s ability to evolve and innovate remains key to the joint fight, as the air coalition continues to adapt while using legacy systems in different ways, Goldfein explained. Since its first sortie in April, the B-52 Stratofortress has flown nearly 270 sorties, employing in excess of 1,300 weapons during more than 325 strikes in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. In addition, the B-52 recently flew two sorties in Afghanistan, employing 27 weapons in two strikes in support of counterterrorism operations. “We got the B-52 back in the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq,” Goldfein said. “We have the B-52 contributing to a significant ground effort and employing weapons in close proximity of friendly troops who are under attack, who are preparing the battlefield in new ways.” An integral part of the strike process has been the success achieved by indigenous ground forces. However, with limited coalition forces on the ground, it drove in-

novation as a coalition. Innovation in thought led to new tactics and advancements in doctrine. In this campaign, real-time video now feeds information to joint tactical air controllers who work in various strike cells coordinating with aircraft to execute procedures to employ airpower. JTACs and strike aircraft confirm targets and look to minimize the time required to help those in need. “We are going to fly to the sounds of the guns or we are going to die trying,” Goldfein said. “Whether you are a Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman JTAC on the ground, if you call for air, we will be there. We will throw everything we have at it and you can always count on us to deliver.” The flexibility of coalition airpower continues to enable forces on the ground in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, shaping the battlefield and further degrading ISIL’s combat capability and capacity for sustainment. The air coalition is working to maximize the capability it offers. “This is not about coalition partners following an American ef-

fort,” Goldfein said. “It’s about Americans being part of … an effective coalition that brings the best capabilities of each coalition partner to the campaign.” Momentum is occurring as airpower is effectively shaping the battlespace. In late June, ISIL members fled Iraq in several large convoys of up to 120 vehicles. Over the course of the two days, the linking of capabilities enabled the U.S. and international aircraft to destroy an estimate of 175 suspected ISIL vehicles, resulting in Iraqi forces declaring the city of Fallujah fully liberated. Operating in the AOR for 24 years, the air coalition today has more than 750 coalition aircraft assigned throughout the AOR that could be called upon for operations at any time to support OIR, NATO’s Resolute Support Mission, Operation Freedom’s Sentinel and as needed in theater. Goldfein describes airpower as the oxygen the joint force breathes. “Have it and you don’t even think about it. Don’t have it, and it’s all you think about,” Goldfein said.

Soldier-Olympians from Kenya run their season-best for Team USA By Tim Hipps U.S. ARMY INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT COMMAND

RIO DE JANEIRO — Two Soldier-athletes from Kenya represented the U.S. Army as members of Team USA in the men’s 10,000-meter run on Saturday, Aug. 13, at the 2016

Olympic Games. Spcs. Leonard Korir and Shadrack Kipchirchir said they were proud to share the track that day with the world’s best runners. Both Soldiers ran their seasonbest times, with Korir finishing 14th in 27:29.40 and Kipchirchir in 19th place

with a time of 27:36.79. Defending champion Mohamed Farah of Great Britain won the race in 27 minutes, 5.17 seconds, followed by silver medalist Paul Kipngetich Tanui (27:05.64) of Kenya and bronze medalist Tamirat Tola (27:06.17) of Ethiopia.

Spcs. Leonard Korir and Shadrack Kipchichir finish 14th and 19th respectively in the men’s 3,000-meter run Aug. 13 at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

“When you see Mo Farah on the line, you know it’s going to be a great competition,” said Korir, 29, a native of Iten, Kenya, after the race. “I was happy about it. One day I will be saying I ran with Mo Farah in the 10,000.” The 27-year-old Kipchirchir, a native of Eldoret, Kenya said he kept pace with the race’s leaders until they had five kilometers left to go. “My goal was to go with them for as long as I could, and that’s what I did, but my gas ran out,” he admitted. The two Soldier-Olympians have come a long way. Both emigrated from Kenya to attend college in America, where they earned their degrees and became American citizens. After joining the Army World Class Athlete Program, both earned spots on Team USA at the Olympic Trials.

“It’s been great being in the Army,” said Kipchirchir, who competed in college for Western Kentucky and Oklahoma State. “The time they give me to train and all the equipment they give me to train, I’m grateful. They give me all the support I ask.” As Soldier-athletes, Korir and Kipchirchir are demonstrating Army Soldiers are more than just war-fighters with their achievements at international competitions like the Olympics, Pan American Games, the CISM Military Games, and the World

Championships. “I just want to give a shout out to my battle buddies out there,” Kipchirchir said. “I just want to run for them, and that’s what I did here. It is all about them.” With his competition completed at the Rio Games, Korir said he will continue to embrace the mission of being a “Soldier first.” “At the moment, I’m just now in the Army,” Korir said. “I like being in the Army. It’s something I’ve wanted since I was young.”
