F-35s to soar again after grounding
By LAUREN SAGE REINLIE
Northwest Florida Daily News
Editor’s note: F-35s at Eglin
were cleared to return to flight on July 17.
The military has cleared F-35
jets to return to flight over Northwest Florida.
The entire fleet of F-35s nationwide was grounded earlier
this month after one caught fire
during takeoff on the runway at
Eglin Air Force Base on June 23. The flight clearance is a limited one, cautioned Navy Rear
Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s
press secretary, in a statement
early Tuesday morning, July 15. It
comes with engine inspection requirements and restricted flight
conditions, which will remain in
effect until the “root cause of the
June 23 mishap is identified and
corrected.”
“Safety remains the overriding
priority,” he said.
On Monday, Frank Kendall, defense undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, told
reporters in Europe the cause
of the fire had been “excessive”
rubbing of the engine blades.
Based on initial findings, the
problem did not appear systemic,
he said.
He said a thorough analysis
was still under way, though.
Eglin is home to 49 of the jets,
over half the fleet nationwide.
The 33rd Fighter Wing there is
responsible for training pilots and
maintainers across all branches
to operate the military’s newest
fighter aircraft, which is still in
development stages.
It was unknown Tuesday when
pilots at Eglin will return to the
skies.
Air Force Lt. Hope Cronin,
a spokeswoman for the wing at
Eglin, said they were still awaiting official word of the clearance
from the various military branches, though they anticipated it to
come soon. After that, it will still
take a day or two before the jets
could get back in the air, she said.
Later on Tuesday, officials
said the F-35 would not make it
to the Farnborough Air Show in
England, which is currently underway. The planes’ engines will
need to be checked every three
hours, making the flight across
the ocean impossible.
Due to the grounding, the F-35
program had to cancel several
scheduled showings that were
supposed to mark the jet’s first
international appearances.
Analysis: F-35 problem not ‘systemic’
The fire that has grounded the
entire fleet of F-35s nationwide
was caused by excessive rubbing
of fan blades in the engine of one of
the jets here, officials announced
Monday, July 14.
The fire began in an Air Force
version of the military’s newest
fighter jet during takeoff on the
runway at Eglin Air Force Base
on June 23. No one was injured in
the fire.
On Monday morning, during
a press conference in Europe,
Frank Kendall, Under Secretary
of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, announced
that evidence being compiled on
the cause of the fire did not indicate a “systemic” issue with the
F-35, though analysis was still underway, Reuters reported.
During a safety inspection of all
F-35s in the fleet, no signs of excessive rubbing were found on any
other jets, though there were signs
of milder rubbing, Kendall said.
He said the engine has suffered
two issues involving fan blades in
the past few years, but they did not
appear related.
“None of those things that have
happened, including this recent
one as far as I know, suggests that
we have a fundamentally flawed

design,” he told Reuters.
Eglin is home to 49 F-35s, belonging to the Air Force, Navy and
Marines, which each have their
own variant of the jet. The 33rd
Fighter Wing is responsible for
training pilots and maintainers on
the new airframe though it is still
under development.
Last week, with the jets still
grounded, Secretary of Defense
Chuck Hagel visited Eglin to reiterate his support for the F-35,
which has been criticized for its
cost — it is the most expense
weapons program in U.S. history
— and what some see as design
flaws that have led to continu-
ous groundings and other performance issues.
Hagel said incidents like the
fire at Eglin are routine for any
new aircraft. He said the safety investigation into the fire was complete and officials were analyzing
findings to determine if it was safe
to lift the grounding order.
Northwest Florida to lose 23 jobs as part of Air Force cuts
A small number of jobs
will be eliminated in Northwest Florida as part of an
Air Force effort to cut nearly
3,500 positions over the next
five years.
Hurlburt Field will cut 22
positions and Eglin Air Force
Base will cut one, according
to a Monday announcement.
The local bases will be
some of the least impacted
by the cuts.
The largest loss, 742 jobs,
will come from Joint Base
Langley-Eustis in Virginia.
The cuts will save $1.6 billion over the next five years,
helping to meet the Department of Defense’s directive
to decrease costs and staff by
20 percent, according to the
Pentagon.
The Air Force said the
cuts will likely come sooner
rather than later.
“We are aggressively
pushing reductions within
the first year, rather than
spread them out over the five
years as allowed by DoD,”
said Secretary of the Air
Force Deborah Lee James in
a statement on Monday. “It’s
better for airmen because it
provides them predictability
and allows us to re-stabilize
our workforce sooner.”
Officials said the largest
part of the initiative is consolidating oversight of installation and mission support
activities under the newly
created Air Force Installation
and Mission Support Center.
The new center will have a
staff of 350, but officials did not
say where it will be located.
Twelve of the jobs being
eliminated at Hurlburt Field
are due to the creation of the
new center.
The remaining local positions being lost came from
a review of headquarters
management.
Air Force announces changes to headquarters organization
WASHINGTON (AFNS)
— Air Force leaders announced changes to headquarters staff manning and
organization this week.
The Air Force will create
efficiencies by deactivating
and realigning organizations
at Headquarters Air Force,
Major Commands, Numbered Air Forces and Field
Operating Agencies, resulting in savings of $1.6 billion
across the Air Force in the
next five years.
“I will work to ensure the
world’s best Air Force is the
most capable at the lowest
possible cost to the taxpayer,” said Secretary of the Air
Force Deborah Lee James.
“Everyone knows our economy is still not where it should
be; we have a responsibility
to ensure that every dollar
adds value to the taxpayers
and our national defense.”
The changes are a result
of a comprehensive effort to
reduce overhead costs, increase efficiencies, eliminate
redundant activities and improve effectiveness and business processes (also known
as Air Force Management
Headquarters Review). The
efficiencies created through
the reorganization will also
help meet the Department
of Defense’s directive to
reduce costs and staff levels by at least 20 percent,
eliminating 3,459 positions at
headquarters across the Air
Force, both in country and at
overseas locations. As part of
ongoing cost savings initia-
The Air Force will create efficiencies
by deactivating and realigning organizations
at Headquarters Air Force, Major Commands,
Numbered Air Forces and Field Operating
Agencies, resulting in savings of $1.6 billion
across the Air Force in the next five years.
tives, the Air Force will also
continue to reduce contract
spending, operating budgets
and travel expenditures.
To minimize the effect on
civilian personnel, the Air
Force will initiate Voluntary
Early Retirement Authority programs and Voluntary
Separation Incentive Pay to
foster voluntary reductions
before pursuing involuntary
measures. As part of ongoing efforts to responsibly
shape the force, military
members were offered a variety of voluntary incentive
programs.
“We are aggressively
pursuing reductions within
the first year, rather than
spread them out over five
years as allowed by DoD,”
said James. “It’s better for
Airmen because it provides
them predictability and allows us to re-stabilize our
workforce sooner. It also allows us to harvest the savings earlier so that we can
plow it back into readiness
and some of our key modernization programs.”
The Air Force’s goal is
to go beyond the 20 percent
reduction mandated by the
DoD so any additional savings can be achieved from
staff functions above the
wing level, and set to provide additional combat capability to the combatant
commanders.
“The Air Force has been
making incremental changes in our business practices
for the last several years,
but we must change the way
we are doing business if we
are to meet the Air Force’s
goal to reduce staffing functions by more than 20 percent,” explained Bill Booth,
Air Force’s Acting Deputy
Chief Management Officer.
“Reducing higher headquarters’ staffs means we can
save money that can be reinvested in getting ready for
combat missions at the wing
level.”
The largest initiative will
include centralizing policy
and oversight of installation and mission support
activities within a newly created Air Force Installation
and Mission Support Center, which will report to Air
Force Materiel Command.
Execution will remain at the
local level.
“The current and projected fiscal climate make it
essential to centralize management and streamline
support to the maximum
extent possible in order to
improve efficiency and effectiveness, as well as deliver
more standardized levels
of service across the Air
Force,” Booth said. Support
functions currently spread
across the MAJCOMs’ staffs
will be centralized at the
AFIMSC.
The Air Force will also
make changes to the Headquarters Air Force staff
organization by splitting Operations, Plans and Requirements (A3/5) and Strategic
Plans and Programs (A8)
and reorganizing them into
the new Operations (A3) organization which will stand
alone and merge the planning staffs into the new A5/8
organization.
Also, the current programming functions from
A8 will be merged into the
service’s financial manageSee organization page 4

ment organization (FM).
“We will now have an
organization, A5/8, that is
responsible for developing,
managing and constantly
assessing an Air Force
strategy that is bounded
by long-range resource
projections and another organization, FM, that deals
primarily with the day-today budget activities involved in running the Air
Force,” Air Force Chief of
Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III
explained. “Keeping organizations aligned will ensure
we keep moving towards
our long-range strategic
goals despite the shortterm budget upheaval we
face regularly.”
The Air Force will also
realign several functions
that currently report to the
headquarters in an effort to
better support combatant
commanders and realign
some field operating agencies to operational MAJCOMs, merge FOAs with
similar missions and deactivate others.
The Air Force Intelligence Surveillance and
Reconnaissance Agency is
also being realigned from
Headquarters Air Force as
a FOA to become part of a
new operational numbered
air force under Air Combat
Command.
Realigning the Air Force
ISR Agency into the new
25th Air Force within ACC
ensures warfighting commands will have the best
possible intelligence from
integrated national and tactical ISR capabilities, while
appropriately realigning
operational activities and
“organize, train and equip”
responsibilities of the AF
ISR Agency from execution
by Headquarters AF to a
MAJCOM.
WASHINGTON (AFNS)
— The Air Force is centralizing its installation support
management within a newly
created Air Force Installation and Mission Support
Center, Air Force officials
announced this week.
The change resulted
from a comprehensive effort
to reduce overhead costs,
increase efficiencies, eliminate redundant activities,
improve effectiveness and
business processes and will
help meet the Department
of Defense’s directive to reduce costs and staff levels
by at least 20 percent.
The new AFIMSC will
report to Air Force Materiel Command. Maj. Gen.
Theresa Carter has been
announced as the Special
Assistant to the Commander, Air Force Materiel Command. She is charged with
developing the strategy and
implementation plans for
this new center.
“This is a fundamental
paradigm shift in how the
Air Force has historically
controlled and delivered
installation support capabilities,” said Bill Booth, Air
Force’s Acting Deputy Chief
Management Officer. “As
we look ahead to 2023, this
new command structure
will focus on consolidating
installation support responsibilities from the Head-
S TAY C
O
quarters Air Force, Major
Commands and multiple
Field Operating Agencies.”
The Air Force currently
delivers installation support
capabilities through a decentralized control, decentralized execution concept
of operation. Consequently,
each MAJCOM has developed staffs and often created unique processes for
the same functions, generating duplication of effort
and inefficiencies.
“The current and projected fiscal constraints
have driven the Air Force
to make strategic decisions
to reduce its size while retaining its combat effectiveness. Centralization of
management support to the
maximum extent possible
improves our efficiency and
effectiveness in providing installation and expeditionary
combat support capabilities
to our wing commanders
and mission partners and
delivers more standardized levels of service across
the Air Force,” Booth said.
“While efficiency is our
goal, we will not lose sight
that installations are combat platforms for the Air
Force — we deliver Global
Vigilance, Global Reach
and Global Power from our
installations in garrison
and at deployed locations
around the world.”

growing pains, including the
recent grounding.
“I know there are issues,
but I don’t know a platform
that we’ve ever had, we’ve
ever designed, we’ve ever
tried and then put into service that didn’t go through
issues.”
His visit comes at a time
when other countries who
have invested in the aircraft
— and are helping to defray
costs for the United States
— are deciding whether
to continue on with the
program.
Hagel acknowledged the
eight international partners
also have a lot riding on the
jet’s development, but said
he trusts the people working
on the F-35 team, especially
those at Eglin.
“You are defining history,
a new dynamic of world affairs, of security,” he said.
“The F-35 is going to help do
that more than any platform
we have had in recent times,
but this would not work without you and the work that
you do.”
During his visit, Hagel
was able to squeeze in a little
fun, too.
Before he addressed the
crowd, he hopped up into the
cockpit of one of the F-35s,
which had his name painted
on the side.
“They didn’t let me push
any of the buttons,” he joked.
“But, they did give me a
good sense of the airplane,
its capabilities and what it’s
meant to do.”
The visit marked the first
time a Secretary of Defense
has visited Eglin in as long
as officials could remember,
and the importance of it was
not lost on the members of
the F-35 training wing.
“It’s always an honor to
have people from Washington, D.C., and some of the
decision makers coming
here,” said Air Force Lt. Col.
Eric Smith, commander of
the 33rd Fighter Wing’s operations support squadron.
“It certainly signifies to us
how important this program
is to our national defense.”

With F-35s still grounded
across the country, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel
visited the F-35 training wing
here on Thursday to reinforce the Pentagon’s commitment to developing the
military’s newest fighter jet.
“This aircraft is the future of fighter aircraft for all
our services,” Hagel said to
about 200 service members
gathered in an F-35 hangar.
“The F-35 is as big a project
as we have, and we’ve got a
lot riding on it.”
Though the F-35 is still in
development, the Air Force,
Marines and Navy — which
all have their own versions of
the aircraft — have already
started training at a few bases across the country, including Eglin Air Force Base.
Last week, the Pentagon
officially announced it had
grounded all F-35s from flying. A safety investigation is
underway after one caught
fire during takeoff at Eglin
in June.
This is the third time
flights have been suspended
since February, and some
are questioning the quality
and value of the jet, the most
expensive in U.S. history
with program costs of about
$400 billion.
But, Hagel said after a
closed-door meeting with
F-35 pilots and maintainers
Thursday, he was assured
the F-35 was performing
well.
“They have tremendous
confidence in the aircraft,”
he said. “Some said it was
the best aircraft they had
ever flown; some said it was
the easiest and simplest.”
He acknowledged the
program has had some

The Defense Health Agency,
relying on medical laboratory
experts and existing authority
to conduct medical “demonstrations,” will restore TRICARE
coverage this month for up to 40
genetic tests used in patient care.
Many of these laboratorydeveloped tests — also called
molecular pathology tests — are
viewed as medically necessary.
But TRICARE had stopped reimbursing for more than 100 such
tests in January 2013, believing it
lacked authority to pay for them
when such tests are ordered by
civilian physicians delivering
care through TRICARE provider
networks
Military treatment facilities
have continued to order and pay
for such tests routinely, which
created a startling disparity
of coverage between military
direct care and purchased care
contracts. Senior DHA officials
acknowledged the coverage gap
last February and
vowed to close it.
The first step
to do so will occur July 18 when
“30 to 40” genetic
tests, those “most
commonly performed” across
U.S. medicine,
will become reimbursable again
under TRICARE, as part of a
three-year medical demonstration project, said Army Maj. Gen.
Richard W. Thomas, chief medical officer and director of healthcare operations for DHA.
Among genetic tests to be restored to TRICARE coverage is
one that determines if a woman
who is pregnant, or desires to become pregnant, carries a genetic
marker for cystic fibrosis. That
marker would indicate increased
risk that a newborn would have
CF.
Tom
Philpott
TRICARE stopped paying for
this and many more laboratorydeveloped tests (LDTs) after the
American Medical Association
changed its procedural codes
for such lab work and clarified
that these tests are “medical
devices.”
TRICARE, in turn, concluded
that under current support contracts it cannot pay for medical
devices if not certified as safe and
effective by the Federal Drug Administration. Because the FDA
doesn’t review or approve genetic
tests, TRICARE officials decided
they had to stop coverage.
Civilian physicians continued
to order such tests but after December 2012 TRICARE quietly
began denying payments. For a
time, many impacted laboratories absorbed the costs. But for
some of the more costly tests ordered, TRICARE patients began
receiving unexpected bills.
In a phone interview, Thomas
explained that DHA earlier this
year formed its own panel of
experts, the Joint Lab Working
Group, and began conducting
its own review of safety and effectiveness of genetic tests. It
used forensic science and other
criteria to screen LDTs. One factor was whether major health insurance companies covered the
tests, Thomas said.
Restored TRICARE coverage for up to 40 LDTs will occur under what DHA calls its
Non-FDA-Approved Laboratory
Test Demonstration Project,
described in the June 18 Federal
Register. A full list of genetic testing to be approved for TRICARE
hasn’t been released yet. But coverage will be retroactive to Jan.
1, 2013, Thomas explained, so
laboratories and patients will be
able to apply for reimbursements
of newly-cleared tests that they
had paid for back to that date.
DHA already has reimbursed im-
pacted laboratories $3.5 million,
mostly for prenatal CF testing
the last 18 months.
During the demonstration,
DHA would like to see Congress
pass legislation to give it permanent genetic test review authority. The Senate Armed Services
Committee’s version of the fiscal 2015 defense authorization
bill contains such language, so
it could be enacted into law by
year’s end.
Besides closing its coverage gap, DHA plans to use the
demonstration to better manage
for military medicine the recent
“explosion” in genetic testing,
Thomas said. It will seek to hold
down costs by using military labs
with genetic testing capability
when possible. Such labs now operate at military medical centers
in Texas, Mississippi and Washington states.

INSPIRED BY THOSE WHO KEEP US
FREE AND SECURE
We believe the brave men and women who keep
us free and secure deserve checking that is free
and secure. That’s why we offer free ATM use
nationwide1 with no monthly service charge
and no minimum balance fees. Plus, free
fraud alerts and zero liability if your
debit card is lost or stolen.2
DHA also wants to impose more “discipline and
clarity” on use of such testing, whether by military
health care providers or
network civilian doctors.
“We’ve got to be flexible
enough in our system that
we can address these tests
and certainly offer them,
as appropriate, if they
have proven clinical merit,
are efficacious and safe,”
Thomas said.
Prenatal cystic fibrosis
testing is a good example.
For now, DHA will extend
coverage, acknowledging
that such tests are recommended by the American
College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists (ACOG).
But during the demonstration, military patient
outcomes will be studied
to determine if CF testing
provides real medical benefits or simply adds to the
cost of care.
DHA officials had argued earlier this year that
awareness that a fetus is at
higher risk of cystic fibrosis usually has no impact
on management of labor,
delivery or neonatal care.
Also, they noted, that at
birth infants are tested for
a host of health conditions
immediately, including for
CF.
Thomas described
guidelines from ACOG as
“deliberately opaque” on
the benefits of prenatal
CF screening. Yet because
ACOG strongly recommends such screening,
CF tests have become a
“standard of practice”
though not yet “a standard
of care,” Thomas said.
Karen Ruedisueli, a
health care advocate for
National Military Family
Association, said NFMA is
pleased to see TRICARE
restore coverage of some
genetic tests, particularly
prenatal cystic fibrosis
screening, which represents the “bulk of genetic
test denials” by TRICARE
since early 2013.
But NMFA, she said,
wants to learn why the
DHA panel did not clear for
restored TRICARE coverage more than 60 other
genetic tests.
“That over half of those
tests will continue to be
denied coverage is concerning,” Ruedisueli said.
Magnolia Grill
“Because it’s our understanding the vast majority
of those tests are covered
by commercial insurance
carriers as well as by other
government plans.”
