Year No. 9 Edition No. 37
From Eagles to the Stars
Wing commander becomes a general
By SAMUEL KING JR.
Team Eglin Public Affairs
On the afternoon of Sept.
2, surrounded by his family
and flanked by friends, Christopher Azzano had his Eagle
ranks removed and replaced
with Stars.
The symbolic gesture of
the stars pin on by his family
members signified the 96th
Test Wing commander’s promotion to the rank of brigadier general.
“This is the result of a
lot of hard work and a true
team effort,” said the Michigan native and 24-year veteran. “For all the Airmen
and communities I’ve been
able to serve, this is a shared
accomplishment.”
Former 96th TW commander, Maj. Gen. David
Harris returned here to
preside over the promotion
ceremony.
“This wing is very fortunate to have a leadership
team like the Azzanos,” said
Harris, who also officiated Azzano’s previous promotion to
colonel. “You’ve got one great
commander here. I couldn’t
recommend him more.”
After his new stars were
pinned on, Azzano recited the
oath of office and was presented with his new one-star
flag.
“Any promotion in the military fulfills a need,” said Azzano. “The reason I’m standing
here is the Air Force had a
need. I was deemed available
and qualified, but this promotion is not about me.”
The new general received
his commission in 1991. Before taking command of the
96th Test Wing in June, he
was the 72nd Air Base Wing
commander at Tinker Air
Force Base, Okla.
During the fall months,
Air Force Materiel Command will promote its
Mental Fitness Awareness Campaign. According to Comprehensive
Airman Fitness (AFI
90-506), mental fitness
is defined as the ability
to effectively cope with
unique mental stressors
and challenges. One way
to keep on top of your
mental fitness is to understand anxiety.
Anxiety can be a motivator or response to
the anticipation of an
event, with symptoms
like butterflies in your
stomach, rapid breathing or a pounding heart.
All of us worry about
issues like relationships, health or money
and have experienced
brief anxiety caused by
stressful events such as
public speaking or a job
furlough.
But some people may
experience anxiety that is

persistent, uncontrollable
and overwhelming. If it is
an excessive, irrational
dread of everyday situations, it can be disabling.
When anxiety interferes
with daily activities, you
may have Generalized
Anxiety Disorder.
According to the National Institute of Mental
Health, signs and symptoms of GAD include:
• Persistent worry
about everyday things
• Inability to
concentrate
• Insomnia
• Difficulty relaxing
• Headaches, muscle
aches, stomach aches or
unexplained pains
• Irritability, excessive
sweating, feeling lightheaded or out of breath
• Having to go to the
bathroom a lot
If you are experiencing
some of these symptoms
consistently, for at least
two weeks, you may be
interested in an anxiety
screening. An anonymous
and confidential mental
health screening is offered on our website,
AFMCwellness.com.
Screening results are
educational, not diagnostic, but are provided so
participants may quickly

Pet Welfare’s kennels are deteriorating, dangerous
By KELLY HUMPHREY
Northwest Florida Daily News
When the volunteers
at Pet Welfare moved
into their current location
more than 30 years ago,
the kennel was already
old.
“It was the original
site for the military working dogs back in the old
days,” said Carla Engeldinger, the chairwoman
of the animal rescue
organization’s all-volunteer board of directors.
“Over time, the conditions of the kennels have
just gotten worse, and we
haven’t had the funds to
keep them up. It’s gotten
to the point where it’s
just really dangerous for
the dogs.”

While volunteers from

and white skies of Wyoming.
To anyone on the ground, it
looks like a soaring bird or,
if high enough, just a dark
speck in the Western sky.
That bird or unnoticed
spot is being controlled by an
Airman on the ground, and
has the ability to take photos, video in day or night, and
even designate locations via
an infrared laser. It also provides coordinates, magnetic
azimuths, and distances creating a birds-eye view to topographical map.
That UAS is called RAVEN-B and the person controlling it is Staff Sgt. Leland
Hastings, 919th Special Operations Security Forces
Squadron, one of only three
reservists qualified to operate it.
The 919th SOSFS brought
this relatively new technology to the August Reserve
security forces field training
exercise to demonstrate its
capabilities and inform other
units of the potential benefits
of UASs.
“(With the UAS), the team
on the ground can have realtime intelligence as opposed
to information from a week or
a month past,” said Hastings,
a five-year reservist. “It allows them to see and assess
the objective without ever
putting them in harm’s way.”
For the exercise, the 919th
not only demonstrated the
capability of the Air Force
Special Operations Command-owned UAS, but also
used it to their advantage in
their role as the opposition
force against other Reserve
units. They could monitor
patrols and movements without leaving a secure hiding
place.
Usually a two-person operation, Hastings controlled
both pieces during this
exercise.
“It is more difficult, but it
can be done. Basically, it requires me to keep it within

my line of sight,” said the civilian firefighter and Mobile,
Alabama native.
Control of the UAS is comprised of a laptop that tracks
the speed, location altitude
and data received and the operation controller. The controller looks similar to a Wii
U control and manages all
of the movements, cameras
and other moving parts on
the UAS.
Hastings and the other
reservists, along with 1st
SOSFS active-duty Airmen,
attended the small unmanned
aerial system course through
the 371st Special Operations
Command Training Squadron at Hurlburt Field Florida.
Just like pilots, the controller
must have a specific number
of flights each year to remain
qualified on the RAVEN-B.
“This was a great opportunity to put more tools
in our tool kit,” said the Maj.
Michael McGee, the 919th
SOSFS commander about
having his Airmen trained
to control a UAS. “I remain
insistent the 919th SOSFS remains relevant, viable, and
on the cutting edge of doing
security work in austere environments. I think it this is
the future of AFSOC security
forces.”
Hastings said he enjoys
this unique aspect of special
operations security forces
and hopes other units recognize the benefits of the
new technology available to
them.
“Having this capability in
your hip pocket,” he said. “It
ensures none of our Airmen
ever have to walk into the
unknown.”

initiatives
to be presented
to Carter
soon.
Brad
Carson,
acting
under secretary of
defense for
personnel
and readiness, who led
the months-long effort to
shape the Force of the Future package, decided to
remove references to the
digital services office being housed in an “innovation bunker in the heart of
the Pentagon” as perhaps
a bit too dramatic.
But the digital services
team is to be located both
deep inside the Pentagon
and in a separate office in
Silicon Valley, nickname
Tom
Philpott
for an area south of San
Francisco that is home to
the world’s largest hightech firms.
Carter, a physicist who
at one time served as under secretary of defense
for acquisition, technology
and logistics, and later
on boards of directors for
large technology companies, is keenly aware
of the army of technical
experts working in Silicon
Valley and at other technology hubs.
“I’m trying to build
bridges to those folks,”
Carter explained Tuesday
while hosting a worldwide
“troop talk” over the internet and social media
from Fort Meade, Md.
“Some of them don’t know
us because, remember,
only a small slice of our
society these days serves.
And so I’m trying to connect us to them so we
have their best ideas and
their best technology.”
A few days earlier
Carter showed his interest in partnering with
Silicon Valley by announcing funding of an industry
innovation institute that
will propel development
of hybrid electronics, an
emerging technology that
will enhance war fighting
through use of lightweight
and shapeable sensors.
Carter described
science fiction-like scenarios in which sensors
are built into the shape
of ships and aircraft to
give instant feedback on
damage, ground troops
wear flexible sensors in
clothing to lighten loads
and enhance battlefield
awareness, and wounded
warriors “benefit from
smart prosthetics that
have the full flexibility of
human skin.”
“The reality [is] we
don’t know all the applications this new technology will make possible.
That’s the remarkable
thing about innovation,”
he said, “and it’s another
reason why America and
[our] military must get
there first.”
Hybrid electronics is
just one field of digital
technology, Carter said.
He alluded to advances
possible in many others
during a speech Tuesday
to The American Legion
national convention in
Baltimore.
“It’s not just about the
best technology. You know
we need the best people,
too. So we’re drilling tun-
nels through the wall that
sometimes seems to separate government from the
innovative private sector
– so more of America’s
brightest minds can contribute to our mission,
even if for a time.”
Force of the Future
background papers describing the proposed
Defense Digital Services
office finds fault with the
department’s current
“internal capacity and
talent to deliver digital
services” that can meet
public expectations or
long-term national security requirements.
“Over the past three
decades, federal agencies have increasingly
outsourced their ‘tech
brain’ — at the same time
See future page 9
to digital services,” which
are “standard in the private sector technology
startups but mostly foreign to DoD.”
Standing up “a team of
this sort…with a charge
to disrupt will likely face
some challenges,” the papers warn. “Existing departments and agencies
may resist change.” And
while autonomy “from bureaucratic impediments
are vital to success” the
“hierarchical structure”
of a large organization
like DoD “is often a limiting factor in fostering
experimentation and
innovation.”
Defense Digital Services will need department
leaders to give it “a ‘safe
space’ to experiment, test,
potentially fail and iterate,
as necessary.”
The estimated cost
of establishing the office
is $175 million over five
years. Measured against
an annual DoD information technology budget of
$35 billion, this “should be
viewed as an investment
in a technology startup
that will have a positive
return.” In its first year,
the office could return
five to 10 times its startup
costs as savings on digital services, proponents
argue.
Success would be
achieved in year one if the
team can build a “digital
innovation brand” and
recruitment strategy for
DoD, improve its hightech hiring process and
have in place a team of 50
to 100 digital innovators.
This and five other
Force-of-the-Future ideas
would impact both military and civilian personnel. Another 12 target

described in our last three
