22 EARS completes busy year, starts new year with milestones

Posted 1/23/2013 Updated 1/23/2013

by Tech. Sgt. Rachel Martinez
376th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs

1/23/2013 - TRANSIT CENTER AT MANAS, Kyrgyzstan -- For the 22nd Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, 2012 was a banner year.

With nearly 4,000 sorties and 24,000 flight hours, the air refueling squadron completed its second busiest year of combat operations with an operations sortie effectiveness rate of 99.85 percent, hitting many milestones along the way.

"This year was the second most impacting and with the second highest number of combat missions ever for the 22nd EARS" said Lt. Col. Russell Davis, 22nd EARS commander. Throughout the course of the year, aircrews offloaded 227.2 million pounds of fuel to more than 16,000 coalition aircraft supporting more than 2,000 troops in contact events, nearly 1,500 shows of force and more than 850 strikes.

"What I am most proud of are the 2,054 times members of the 22nd EARS supported troops in contact with the enemy," said Davis. "That's significant because it equates to lives saved."

For the first time, the Air National Guard deployed in mass to support summer operations in 2012. This included multiple deployments of eight Air National Guard jets and crews.

"They performed superbly and brought a lot to the total force fight," said Davis. "In fact, one total force crew was credited with saving a coalition fighter aircraft in Afghanistan."

According to Davis, the Guard crew was performing their first combat mission in Afghanistan, with active duty crewmembers performing orientation training, when everything but the engine stopped working on one of their scheduled fighter jet receivers. The crew was able to communicate with the fighter pilot on the boom interphone and help him navigate while he reset his systems.

"These types of events are what tanker crews do every day," said Davis. "We are always prepared to act when receiver aircraft find themselves in a tight spot. Our communication, navigation and radar systems become as important as the lifesaving jet fuel we pass to buy space and time for distressed aircraft and Airmen."

One of the most significant milestones of the year involved the unit's employment of the Roll-On Beyond Line of Sight Enhancement, or ROBE, data link system. ROBE is a mobile command and control node flown on the KC-135 Stratotanker that enables air-to-ground and air-to-air units to communicate when their own C2 systems are not able connect through line-of-sight. In early May, the 22nd EARS surpassed the ROBE system's 25,000th combat flight hour. The 22nd EARS is the only operational KC-135 unit in the Air Force that employs the data linking system.

"We've broken new ground with ROBE - re-writing the tanker community's fundamental understanding of how to employ this cutting-edge capability," said Davis. "In fact, the unit was tasked with a ROBE-only mission earlier in 2012. The ROBE enhancement makes the tanker a multi-platform airframe - now the tanker can conduct air refueling, airlift and be a link for command and control."

The year did not come without its challenges. The 22nd EARS managed to complete one of its busiest years, despite losing more than 4,000 feet of runway for repairs during a significant portion of the year. In addition, the runway was closed for several hours three times a week during those repairs.

"With the outstanding support of the other units within the 376th AEW [Air Expeditionary Wing], the EARS developed a concept of operations that enabled us to continue providing the level of support the warfighter needed," said Davis.

Other challenges the unit was able to overcome included high turnover rates. During the summer months, the unit experienced a 55 percent turnover of personnel every 30 days and nearly 100 percent turnover of personnel every two months throughout the winter. Additionally, winter brought some of the lowest temperatures on record for the Transit Center.

"We didn't lose a single mission to weather despite the coldest and snowiest December on record," Davis said. "That's a testament to our Kyrgyz partners, airfield ops, maintainers, de-ice/anti-ice team/maintainers, POL [petroleum, oil and lubricants] flight, civil engineers and all the others here at the TCM that make the mission go."

The 22nd EARS impact in 2012 went beyond fueling the fight in Afghanistan. The squadron partnered with three local schools to build community relationships. Squadron members visited the schools every few weeks to provide much-needed school supplies, assist with minor labor and interact with the children. They also were there when the Transit Center at Manas Theater Security Cooperation division secured renovation projects for each school, providing approximately $310,000 in improvements.

"Our positive relationships with the schools in Stepnoe and Prigorodnoe village have been the highlight of many 22 EARS members' experiences," Davis said. "It's been our privilege to demonstrate American culture and values to the Kyrgyz people through regular interactions."

With 2012 behind them, members of the 22nd EARS are showing no sign of slowing down. Just halfway into the first month of 2013, the squadron has already hit new milestones.

So far this year, boom operators - the aircrew members tasked to operate the ROBE data link system - have had a 100 percent success rate operating the system. Furthermore, the 22nd EARS Crew 13 flew the ROBE's 30,000th combat hour on a mission during the first week of January. It was a normal mission, said Maj. Christina Thompson, Crew 13 aircraft commander - The crew refueled a B-1B Lancer over southwestern Afghanistan, all the while running the ROBE data link and enhancing C2 capability for ground and air forces.

"Thirty thousand is an important milestone," said 1st Lt. Greg Jemo, Crew 13 co-pilot. "The ROBE mission of the tanker represents a dedication toward supporting ground forces more so than our traditional capability. The tanker is no longer a single capability platform. We now provide multiple means to support the warfighter in the air and on the ground."

The 22nd EARS has every intention of continuing to fly to the "sound of the guns" by providing outstanding support to air and ground forces in Afghanistan throughout 2013, said Davis.

Special Operations honors latest heroes

Posted 1/29/2013 Updated 1/28/2013

by Capt. Belena S. Marquez
Air Force Special Operations Command Public Affairs

1/29/2013 - JOINT BASE LEWIS MCCHORD, Wash. (AFNS) -- One of the most combat-decorated Air Force units since the end of the Vietnam War named more heroes Jan. 23-24 during medal presentation ceremonies here and at Portland Air National Guard Base, Portland, Ore.

The 24th Special Operations Wing gained one Silver Star and six Bronze Star medals with Valor when Airmen from the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron were recognized with the nation's third and fourth highest combat decorations. Two Bronze Stars with Valor were awarded at the 125th Special Tactics Squadron in Portland.

"Like many, the Airmen's willingness to serve at the 'tip of the spear,' directly going into harm's way to attack the enemy time after time, represents the best of America," said Col. Robert Armfield, the commander of the 24th SOW. "We are proud to see their sacrifice recognized. It gives us a chance to pause for just a moment to thank these special operators and, more importantly, to recognize their families, who bear the burden of this relentless mission."

During the ceremony, Staff Sgt. Adam Krueger was awarded the Silver Star, the third highest combat military decoration in the United States, for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations.

While on a foot patrol, his team was ambushed by an entrenched enemy less than 10 meters from the friendly position. The Army Special Forces team was immediately pinned down and then-Senior Airman Krueger directed an F-15 Eagle strafing run within meters of his position to allow the friendly patrol to fight their way into a compound and establish a strong point.

"He took care of us on that day," said one of Krueger's special forces teammates, who attended the ceremony.

During the subsequent 12-hour firefight, two Soldiers were hit with enemy rounds. Kruger exposed himself to enemy fire to direct another air attack and allow the wounded members to be moved to safety. He then exposed himself again to mark the landing zone for the medical evacuation helicopter, enabling the life-saving patient evacuation.

Additionally, Krueger directed nine danger-close airstrikes.

Krueger's receipt of the medal marks the 32nd Silver Star earned by Air Force Special Operations Command Special Tactics Airmen since 9/11.

"It takes an uncommon bravery to put oneself in direct danger," said Lt. Gen. Eric Fiel, the AFSOC commander. "If I were to ask any one of these men what they think about these decorations, I'm sure that they would all humbly respond that they were just doing their job."

Fiel also recognized the courageous actions of the Bronze Star and Bronze Star with Valor recipients.

The Bronze Star is the fourth highest combat honor in the United States and is awarded for acts of bravery and meritorious service against an armed enemy of the United States. When the Bronze Star is awarded for heroism, it is annotated by a bronze "V" device, which designates valor.

According to the medal citations, the recipients contributed to coordinated air attacks, ground combat support, casualty medical evacuation capabilities and lives saved, all while engaged in combat operations.

"Though each of these men are being recognized for their courage, these decorations were earned in years (of preparation) -- through long physical, mental and technical training pipelines," Fiel said. "Across experiences from previous deployments and through the lessons passed on by the men who bore the standard before them."

To earn the right to wear the scarlet beret, the mark of combat controllers, candidates must complete 35 weeks of initial training. Additional training for the career field includes mastery of parachuting skills, combat diving, survival techniques, special tactics skills and qualifications in air traffic control.

Lt. Col. Thad Allen, the 22nd STS commander, who has known the Silver Star recipient since 2008, said Krueger, like many other combat controllers across AFSOC, trained for years honing his skills to deal with the complexities of combat.

"Often, it's senior airmen, like Adam, making life or death decisions under fire, with potential strategic impact," he said. "That in and of itself is impressive."

During the ceremony speech, Fiel also addressed the family members in attendance.

"Between a demanding pace of today's global special operations and your community's commitment to quiet professionalism we do not come together often enough to recognize the tremendous dedication of our special tactics," he said. "But it is truly a pleasure for me to reflect on their accomplishments, particularly in the presence of family members and of course, the squadron teammates."

He also emphasized the significance of family support to the AFSOC mission and offered them a special message.

"I thank you personally for everything you do, every day for the nation," Fiel said. "It does not go unnoticed. Our military families make extraordinary, unique sacrifices to support our mission and we sincerely appreciate your contributions to our nation's security."

Before the group heard the citations, Fiel prepared to award the medals to the 13 recipients with one final statement.

"The stories are inspiring and call each of us to rededicate ourselves, preparing for our own moment of opportunity, when a critical mission and the lives of our teammates will demand that we realize our full potential."

The honorees were:

Silver Star and Bronze Star:
Staff Sgt. Adam Krueger

Bronze Star with Valor Recipients:
Master Sgt. Douglas Neville
Tech. Sgt. Michael Orlando
Staff Sgt. Joshua Busch
Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Roberts
Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Salazar
Staff Sgt. Michael Wilhelm

Face of Defense: AF Academy Grad Gears Up for Super Bowl

By John Van Winkle
U.S. Air Force Academy

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo., Jan. 30, 2013 - An Air Force Academy graduate -- now an Air Force Reserve captain and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver -- arrived in New Orleans Jan. 27 for Super Bowl XLVII.

Chad Hall was signed to the 49ers practice squad Nov. 27. He was released Dec. 14 as the team juggled its active and practice squad rosters, but he left an impression on the coaches, who signed the 5-foot-8, 187-pound Hall back onto the practice squad three days later.

"I've been preparing every week, and I was ready to go every week, in case I was called up," Hall said. "Every week, usually the defense has me play the role of their opponent's quickest receiver and slot receiver in practice. I'll do anything I can help in that way, and have been doing that ever since the first day I got here. Over the past couple of weeks, the offense has put me in for plays that are designed for me."

Hall has also been working as a backup punt and kick returner. "Hopefully, I can work my way into that role for next year," he said.

The 49ers moved Hall up to the active roster Jan. 19, which allowed him to suit up for the next day's NFC championship game against his hometown team, the Atlanta Falcons. "I love what I do. I love being able to put on a football helmet every day and able to compete physically and mentally," Hall said. There's not many jobs you get to compete physically with everybody on every day. It's a tough job mentally and physically, but I love what I do."

Hall attributes his success to his Air Force background.
"The rigors of the Air Force Academy just furthered my discipline and my work ethic," he said. "For the cadets at the academy now, I'd say just because you go to the academy, it doesn't mean you can't follow your dreams and do anything you want, whether it's right away or after finishing your service commitment. Whether it's flying an aircraft or playing professional sports, you just keep on grinding and keep on fighting for that goal. If you work hard enough, your dreams can come true.
"It's not easy, but the Air Force definitely got me prepped for that," he added.

The magnitude of the rare opportunity to be part of a Super Bowl team has just began to sink in.
"You think back to when you played football in your backyard at 6 years old, and now you're going to play in the Super Bowl -- only about 120 guys every year get to play in the Super Bowl. It's not something that happens often, so it's amazing," he said.

Hall's journey to the Super Bowl started at the academy, where he lettered for three years. During his junior season in 2006, he started all 12 games at halfback and led the team in rushing with 784 yards.
As a senior, Hall moved from halfback to wide receiver. But wherever he lined up, he was a weapon for the Air Force Academy Falcons and a headache for opposing defenders, averaging just more than 206 all-purpose yards per game. He led the 2007 team in rushing and receiving with 230 rushes for 1,478 yards, 15 touchdowns, 50 receptions for 524 yards, and one touchdown. On special teams, Hall was the primary punt and kick returner, returning 36 punts and kickoffs for a combined 681 yards.

Hall got the attention of NFL teams, but he had a five-year active duty service commitment to fulfill after graduating in 2008. Defense Department policy required him to serve at least 24 months of active duty before applying for an early release from active duty to transfer to the Guard or Reserve after being signed to play professional sports, so he went undrafted. He earned a minicamp tryout for the Atlanta Falcons, but they didn't offer a contract. A later tryout with the Buffalo Bills had similar results.

Hall began his active-duty career as a maintenance officer in the 421st Fighter Squadron at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, but kept his goal of playing pro football alive and worked out at the University of Utah's Pro Day in March 2010. It was there that Philadelphia Eagles scouts signed him, giving him his first shot at playing pro football. Hall then transferred to the Air Force Reserve and pursued his NFL dreams.

Hall played in eight games in the 2010 season, starting once. He ended the season with 11 catches for 115 yards and his first NFL touchdown, along with nine rushes for 29 yards.
His 2011 and 2012 seasons started the same way.

"It was my third year with the Eagles," he said. "For the first two years after camp, they released me and brought me back, and I ended up playing. I busted my butt for three years, and if they didn't think I could play for them from the beginning of the season, I thought it was time to try for another team."
As the 2012 season rolled on, Hall kept training and staying in top physical condition, waiting for his next NFL opportunity. He got a couple of calls, and two tryouts. But nothing happened until San Francisco called him.

Now, Hall can become the latest in a very short list of Air Force Academy graduates to make it to the Super Bowl. That list currently sits at four: Chad Hennings (defensive tackle, 1993, 1994 and 1996), Steve Russ (linebacker, 1998-1999), Bryce Fisher (defensive end, 2006) and Joe Lombardi (quarterback coach, 2010).

"It's very special, because it's one of the greatest sporting events in the world and certainly the greatest sporting event in our nation," Hennings said. "But to be able to play on that type of stage at a professional level, it's the pinnacle of professional football.

"You appreciate the sacrifice of making it to a Super Bowl and winning it," he added. "But then it's like, 'Hey we won one, but let's go get ready to win another one.'"
Hennings also remembers what it took to get to that pinnacle of professional sports: for him, it started with his time at the Air Force Academy.

"My Air Force Academy class ring means more to me than my Super Bowl rings, because it laid the foundation of professional success I had," he said. "That's where I learned the truths about honor, commitment, and integrity that helped me as a fighter pilot, helped me as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, and helped me in my professional life after football."
