S. Air Force and the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency approach their 66th and 65th birthdays respectively, they will remain works in progress. Neither one has ever been satisfied with the status quo. They’ve undergone decades of change for the better. They constantly strive to accomplish their missions in the most effective ways possible. Their continuing evolution is their legacy. This legacy of change is anchored by a commonality of service to the nation and each other. “Except for a six-year period as a subordinate unit to Air Combat Command, our organization has worked directly for Headquarters Air Force,“ said Phil Myers, the agency’s chief historian. “That service includes 45 years as a major command and 14 years as an agency working for an Air Staff directorate.” He added that, among all the organizations under the Air Force umbrella, “AFISRA is the fourth oldest major organization and third most prestigious based on years of service and awards.” Through the years the agency and its predecessors have been key players in Air Force operations. In 1950, the 1st Radio Squadron Mobile detachment of the U.S. Air Force Security Service provided invaluable intelligence on the movements of major North Korean army units which allowed United Nations air and naval units to stop the enemy advance. Another detachment allowed American F-51 and F-86 fighters to inflict heavy losses on the enemy in June 1951. In Vietnam, the USAFSS airborne radio direction finding systems aboard EC47 aircraft provided crucial intelligence to U.S and friendly tactical commanders Straight Talk Line throughout Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 70s. Those efforts got the attention of Military Assistance Command Vietnam Commander, Gen. William Westmoreland. “Success in many of our recent operations can be attributed directly to the increased number of and reliability of these fixes,” Westmoreland said. Fast forward to 1991 and Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield when Electronic Security Command, most notably the 6948th Electronic Security Squadron, provided intelligence information enabling relentless air strikes that killed Iraq’s command and control systems long before the ground war began. That brings us to the War on Terror, initiated after 9/11. In the midst of that focus, the Air Intelligence Agency transformed into the Air Force ISR Agency in 2007. “The transformation will allow us to treat intelligence as an Air Force-wide enterprise, coordinate and integrate ISR capabilities and present those capabilities to joint war fighters and national users,” said the last AIA commander and first AF ISR Agency commander, Maj. Gen John C. Koziol as he announced the transformation. One of the largest transformations with possibly the greatest impact on prosecution of combat operations occurred after the Distributed Common Ground System was gathered under one organization for the first time to make it a globally-linked, regionally focused weapon system. The critical importance of Air Force ISR to the overall Air Force mission since 9/11 cannot be overstated. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III made that clear in his vision for the Air Force when he placed ISR immediately after top-ranked air and space superiority when it comes to his services’ enduring contributions. Welsh went on to say technological advances have enabled the Air Force to graduate from snapping black-and-white photos of enemy troop positions, to Airmen controlling remotely piloted aircraft which capture thousands of hours of full motion video daily. In the 12 years following 9/11, America has relied on ISR more than ever. Maj. Gen. John Shanahan, Air Force ISR Agency commander, recently said, “With the beginning of combat operations in Afghanistan in October 2001, its [ISR] prominence skyrocketed. Within the last six years alone more than $13 billion worth of ISR was sent to Afghanistan. Some day Operation Enduring Freedom will also be known as ‘The ISR War.’” The combined Air Force and AF ISR Agency heritages continue to be legendary for one important reason, as Shanahan made clear. “ISR doesn’t happen without the great people of the United States Air Force doing it,” he said. “Great Airmen figure out how to get this done every day. We need to listen to their ideas, incorporate them to change the enterprise and make sure we’re postured for the future.” For current, automated information during JBSA-Fort Sam Houston: 466-4630 a natural disaster, crisis or emergency, call JBSA-Lackland: 671-6397 your local Straight Talk line.

Photos by Ben Faske More than 800 people took part in this year’s Joint Base San Antonio 9/11 Commemorative Run at the Joint Base San AntonioLackland 1.5-mile track. Throughout the run, volunteers read the names of the nearly 3,000 people that died that day in 2001 at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pa. By Jose T Garza III JBSA-Lackland Public Affairs More than 800 people participated in the Joint Base San Antonio 9/11 Commemorative Run at the JBSA-Lackland 1.5-mile track Sept. 11. Rain was sporadic throughout the day, but it did not stop the participants from honoring the 3,000 people who tragically lost their lives at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pa. “We owed it to the victims of 9/11 to be out here and honor them, regardless,” said Tech. Sgt. Douglas Greene, an instructor at the Robert D. Gaylor NCO Academy at JBSA-Lackland and the commemorative run’s organizer. The event began with opening words from Chief Master Sgt. Arlene Keith, Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency, and closed with remarks from JBSA and 502nd Air Base Wing Commander Brig. Gen. Bob LaBrutta. Various Airmen read the names of the deceased throughout the nine-hour run. “Whether it was at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in our Nation’s Capitol, or the lonely field in Shanksville, Pa., today’s event was established as ‘our way’ to pay tribute to the thousands of men, women and children who lost their lives on that fateful September day in 2001. We are also here to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives so valiantly on the battlefields of Iraq, Afghanistan, and other lands throughout the world to defend our way of life, LaBrutta said. “I am so proud of our country for its resiliency and I consider myself extremely privileged to be at this incredible venue as a fellow warrior to memorialize 9-11, the proceeding 12 years of war, and to stand by your side to publically state, ‘never again, not on our watch.’” One senior airman ran in honor of her husband, Senior Airman Wesley Channell, 93rd Intelligence Squadron, who has been deployed three months as of Sept. 10. Senior Airman Olivia Channell, a 59th Medical Diagnostics and Therapeutics Squadron lab technician, said her husband is expected to return to the United States before Christmas. “It is killing me,” Channell said about her husband’s deployment. “I can’t wait to see him. I’m counting down the days until he gets here.” A Cincinnati native, Channell remembers being in fifth-grade science class when the attacks occurred. She was worried that her father would not be able to retire from the Air Force after the tragedy. He was set to retire a week later. “I thought we were going to have to move and he was going to have to deploy and have to fight the bad guys,” she said. Participating in the event also helps Channell “become a better Airman,” she said. “At least I can do something to help show support more than I do already,” she said. Channell’s fellow Airmen from the 59th MDTS participated in the event, including her supervisor, Tech. Sgt. Monique Monteiro. This run was personal for Monteiro, who had a family friend who was in the World Trade Center Sept. 11, 2001. Monteiro said her friend left behind three children. “It’s nice that I’m able to do a little something to remember them,” she said. Joint Base San Antonio and 502nd Air Base Wing Commander Brig. Gen. Bob LaBrutta gave the closing remarks at the JBSA 9/11 Commemorative Run at the JBSA-Lackland 1.5-mile track.

A motorcade led by 502nd Mission Support Group and 502nd Security Forces Squadron representatives as well as Sparky the Fire Dog and McGruff the Crime Dog will be one of the highlights of JBSA-Fort Sam Houston’s National Night Out, while the Randolph High School Marching Band, Sparky, McGruff and mascots from the 902nd Force Support Squadron and 902nd Civil Engineer Squadron will be featured at the JBSA-Randolph event. All JBSA locations will create a block party atmosphere by setting aside areas for activities such as games, food, refreshments, music, military working dog demonstrations, and police vehicle and fire truck displays. JBSA-Fort Sam Houston’s National Night Out activities are planned at three sites: Lincoln Resident Center, Building 407, Dickman Road; Harris Heights Community Center, 3751 Patch Road; and Watkins Terrace Community Center, 5840 Frazier Road. The main housing office, 2254 Brian McElroy St., will be the site of JBSA-Lackland’s National Night Out. JBSA-Randolph’s NNO site will be North Park Street immediately north of the Parr Club. Steven Dews, 502nd SFS crime prevention officer, said the goals of National Night Out are to “heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, and strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.” Staff Sgt. Edward Grant, 902nd SFS NCO in charge of police services, said NNO is law enforcement’s “way of giving back to the community. “It’s also a way of telling the community we’re on their side,” he said. “National Night Out has definitely put a sense of trust between the public and first responders.” JBSA Sexual Assault Prevention and Response JBSA SEXUAL ASSAULT HOTLINE 808-SARC(7272) DOD SAFE HELPLINE (877) 995-5247 JBSA CRISIS HOTLINE 367-1213 JBSA DUTY CHAPLAIN 365-6420 JBSA Social Media On Facebook: Joint Base San Antonio, JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, Lackland JBSA and JBSA-Randolph Staff Sgt. Jason Kempel, 802nd SFS, said NNO sends a message to criminals. “It lets them know that neighborhoods are organizing and fighting back against crime and drug activity,” he said. JBSA National Night Out coordinators said support for the locations’ NNO events continues to grow. “With JBSA-Lackland being involved since 2008, we have really gotten a good grasp on things,” Kempel said. “We continue to add more events and more organizations are stepping up and participating to make this better and better as we go on. Knowing that we have expanded our housing community, we expect a greater turnout and even bigger community involvement.” Grant said “constant growth” has characterized JBSA-Randolph’s NNO event. “It has continued to grow and evolve,” he said. “We have added new ideas and new activities that have fostered law enforcement-community interaction.” COMBINED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN POINTS OF CONTACT The 2013 Combined Federal Campaign runs through Dec. 15.

Chanelle Linson JBSA – Lackland Personal Property Processing Office Changing duty stations can be a stressful time for many military families and the addition of shipping your privately owned vehicle can make this time a little more challenging. However, with advanced planning, you can ensure a successful POV shipment. The first thing to keep in mind when preparing to ship your POV is that although you are entitled to ship your vehicle there are some restrictions. Those restrictions are listed below. TALESPINNER PAGE 11 1. Only one POV, per Department of Defense member, may be shipped to your new duty station at government expense. 2. The POV is not to exceed 20 measurement tons. 3. If you desire to ship an additional POV commercially, at your expense, consult your sponsor and local Personal Property Processing Office for specific details and restrictions. 4. You must review the Personal Property Consignment Instruction Guide and determine if vehicle restrictions/prohibitions exist to import POVs into the country you are moving to. (Failure to do so may result in shipping delays and/or additional costs to you.) Additionally, there are time restrictions for when you can ship your POV. If the overseas tour is longer than one year, your vehicle must be shipped within 90 days after your departure. If the overseas tour of duty is less than one year, your vehicle must be shipped within 30 days of your departure. It is imperative that you contact your servicing vehicle processing center well in advance of your shipment date to receive all necessary shipping information and requirements, in order to ensure your POV will be shipped without delay or any additional stress for you or your family. If you have any questions regarding the shipment of your POV, call or visit your local PPPO counselor at JBSA-Lackland 671-2821/ JBSA-Randolph 652-1848/JBSAFt Sam 221-1605.

Shopping the JBSA-Lackland Exchange pays dividends The JBSA-Lackland Exchange is paying dividends in more ways than one as military members and their families exercise their benefits by dining and shopping at Exchange facilities. Activities last year generated dividends of $620,321. These funds are critical to Air Force Service’s ability to enhance local programs and facilities including the Skylark Bowling Center, the Gateway Hills Golf Course and all of the JBSA-Lackland fitness centers. “Historically, roughly two-thirds of Exchange earnings are paid to morale, welfare and recreation programs with the other third used to build new stores or renovate existing facilities,” Lackland Exchange’s general manager, Ken Klein said. “This structure means that authorized customers are essentially our ‘investors.’ Fortunately, thrifty shoppers rediscovering the value the Exchange offers allowed us to provide a healthy return on their investment.” With a mission to provide quality goods and services at competitively low prices and generate earnings to support quality-of-life efforts, the dual benefit the Exchange provides military families goes far beyond clothes, electronics and snacks on shelves. Shoppers who visit the Exchange, either online at http://www.shopmyexchange.com or in person help make the military community a better place to live and work. In fact, purchases made in the past 10 years have provided more than $2.4 billion to mili- tary programs such as Youth Services, base functions, gyms and aquatic centers.

Karl Leonard, HAWC exercise physiologist, arrived at JBSA-Randolph in August and hit the ground running by analyzing and assessing walking and running forms of military members – a cost-free service to them and their dependents Leonard said few know about. “My goal is to assess a handful of people a day and teach them proper running techniques, which they can share with others,” Leonard said. “An objective is for Airmen to run efficiently and injury-free so they can pass the physical training test and avoid unnecessary injuries and surgeries.” Improper running form, most commonly identified as heels striking the ground first, can create a “kinetic chain of events that radiate from the feet up the body,” meaning the knees and back are at risk for damage, Leonard said. “The majority of people we’ve seen are bad runners, and they’re in shape too,” Leonard said. “This is important for our young Airmen, especially those coming out of basic training, who may be put on profile (limiting or prohibiting physical activity) from improper running.” When improper running persists for long periods, “the body will only tolerate so much the older we get,” Leonard said. Master Sgt. Brenda Greer from Air Education and Training Command, who’s been on profile for seven years since she’s been at JBSA-Randolph, was evaluated by the HAWC Sept. 4. Based on a customer satisfaction survey response, Greer discussed her gait evaluation. “The information provided was new and relevant,” she said. “I prefer to be shown how to improve my technique rather than be told I cannot perform an activity.” Greer underwent plantar fasciitis surgery, but said she “could have graduated off of a profile and remained physically limited” had she addressed her improper running years prior. What Leonard hopes to achieve is a mindset shift from running as fast and far as possible to running the right way. Senior Airman Jessica Aulenbacher, Air Force Personnel Center Air Force training quota manager, who runs five to six miles every other day and up to eight miles on the weekends, ran into a health issue shortly before summer began. She ran until one day she could barely walk due to pain in her right foot. “I was really stubborn about the pain at first,” Aulenbacher said. “When I had my foot examined by a doctor, I learned I was tearing microfibers in my Achilles tendon. I had to completely stop running for two weeks and was close to being put on profile.” She pleaded not to be put on profile in order to continue physical activity – something she loves to do. “Before the injury, I was more concerned with distance and pace than running mechanics,” Aulenbacher said. “Now I’m thinking about how I run differently.” Leonard’s self-described motto is “prehab before rehab” – practicing correct running before pain strikes – “which can start as simple tendonitis and then lead to larger is- sues like meniscus tears, arthritis and disc herniation in the back,” he said. An ideal running form is landing on the ball of the foot with a slightly forward lean at a pace of 180 beats per minute, Leonard said. “At this cadence, stride length is shortened,” he added. “A metronome can help reinforce this quick cadence and landing on the balls of your feet.” A tell-tale sign of erroneous running is loud foot strikes. “Runners should not be heard,” Leonard said. “Running should sound like ‘tap, tap, tap,’ not ‘thud, thud, thud.’” Footwear plays a major role in how people run, Leonard said. “The majority of shoes in the market have elevated heel lifts, which cause the person to land on the heel,” Leonard said. “The flatter the shoe is the better.” By correctly altering running form, people usually experience sore calves, Leonard said, but that’s OK because they are conserving energy in the long run. During an Air Force study while at Altus Air Force Base, Okla., Leonard discovered Airmen who participated in a running program that evaluated their gait and educated them on effective running shaved two minutes off their PT test. Real-world results in the form of injury prevention, improved performance and better runners are what Leonard plans to bring to the JBSA community. The HAWC is scheduled to host a running clinic Oct. 30. Initial gait evaluation appointments at the HAWC last about an hour. For more information or to set an appointment, call the HAWC at 652-2300. Appointments via email may be made at karl.leonard@us.af.mil. JBSA WOMEN'S VARSITY SOCCER A newly formed Joint Base San Antonio Women's varsity soccer team is looking for players.
