Reserve officials activated the first
F-22 Raptor unit, the 477th Fighter
Group, in a ceremony here Oct.
2, giving the Reserve a valuable
part of America’s newest and most
sophisticated weapons system.
“This is a most wonderful day
for the AFRC because we have
officially stood up our first F-22
associate squadron and its group,”
said Lt. Gen. John A. Bradley,

fabled heritage, with the 477th FG
and the 302nd Fighter Squadron
both having Tuskegee Airmen lin-

“It’s priceless, there’s no other
way to put it,” General Bradley
said. “This is their heritage; we’re
standing on their shoulders. We’re
very proud to have their name
and heritage in our 477th FG and

For Col. Eric Overturf, 477th

‘Setting the Conditions for Victory’ video

premieres online
by Staff Sgt. J.G. Buzanowski
Secretary of the Air Force Public
Affairs
WASHINGTON (AFPN) —
The secretary of the Air Force
video “Setting the Conditions for
Victory” made its online debut
Oct. 3.
The eight-minute video, a fol-
low-up to last year’s “How We
Fight” presentation, outlines the
Air Force role in the war on terror-
ism and how the service succeeds
in its domains of air, space and
cyberspace.
“Sometimes a single picture or
video clip is worth a thousand
words,” said Secretary of the Air
Force Michael Wynne. “What I’d
like people to see in the video is
where we fit in today’s fight. This
new way of war depends on the
often invisible contributions that
the Air Force is making, whether
in air, space or cyberspace.”
The video features Airmen dis-
cussing their role in the Air Force
and how it contributes to the Air
Force’s mission statement to “fly,
fight and win.”
“Setting the Conditions for
Victory” also further defines how
the Air Force provides the presi-
dent and combatant command-
ers sovereign options in execut-
ing tasks, everything from deliver-
ing humanitarian aid to working
alongside our sister services on
the front lines of conflict, from
“destroying a target anywhere in
the world” to employing satellites

Save energy with green tips

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany — Conserve not only
money but also natural resources with the following Green Tips:
General awareness
- Create an awareness of the need for energy conservation with
children.
- Be aware of the need for energy conservation at home, the work-
place, hotels, etc.
Warm water
The supply of warm water constitutes the second highest value of
energy consumption in a household; savings are possible with simple
rules that do not limit comfort.
- Take a shower, the hot water of a full bath is enough for three
showers.
- Use water saving showering heads, which reduces the warm water
and the energy consumption by 50 percent.
U.S. Air Force photo/Capt. Kevin Coffman - Do not run warm water unnecessarily.

SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE,
Germany — It’s time for Fire

forces with the non-profit National

During this year’s fire safety

and teach local residents how to

Fall holds variety of dangers for motorists

In fall, there is an increase in
deer crossing roads and highways,
say officials of the German auto-
mobile club ADAC. Red deer, wild
boars, rabbits and foxes don’t find
enough protection in the harvested
fields and flee into the forests to
find cover.
They often have to cross streets
and put themselves, as well as
motorists, in danger.
In fall, game can be found along
avenues with trees, where they eat
chestnuts, acorns and fruit that
have fallen from trees.
Motorists should drive careful-
ly when seeing the deer crossing
sign.
In the coming weeks, motor-
ists must drive extremely carefully
along fields and forests, especially
at dusk and dawn.
The rule is: wherever there is a
forest, there is a deer. It’s impor-
tant to reduce the speed and to be
ready to brake at all times.
On streets with deer crossing
traffic signs, drivers should drive in
a cautious way.
If a collision with game hap-
pens, the warning lights must be
turned on and the vehicle has to
be secured.
Injured persons have to be taken
care of and the police must be
called. The animal should not be
touched. Foxes can be infected
with rabies and deer that appear
unconscious can kick out.
It’s considered poaching if some-
body takes the deer and puts it in
the trunk. This results in the con-
fiscation of the vehicle and a fine.
In some cases, a prison sentence of
up to five years is possible.
Car owners need a written con-
firmation by the police or the game
lessee so the comprehensive insur-
ance will pay for the damage.
The game lessee is obligated to
find an animal that got hit and
hurt, and put it out of its misery.
Fall is harvest time, which
means right now a lot of agricul-
tural vehicles are on the roads.
Driving out from fields, these
vehicles bring clay and mud onto
roads.
According to ADAC officials,
there is an increased risk of acci-
dents, especially for motorcycle
drivers. The clay and mud, in com-
bination with rain, can make roads
slippery, almost like black ice.
Also, harvest products falling
off the vehicles can cause some
danger. Motorists should reduce
speed and drive extremely care-

cultural streets. Motorists should drive carefully

ahead and soft braking helps with
safety. Often, motorists don’t see
what danger can be caused by agri-
cultural vehicles such as harvester
combines, since they are wider and
cross more than half of the street.
When passing, drivers must
be very cautious. In many cases,
motorists have to slow down and
follow patiently until the agricul-
tural vehicle leaves the main road
again.

“This class also works on
building a better relationship
with your dog.”
In addition to learning how
to work with their dog, stu-
dents learn how to handle
their dog.
“People will walk away
from the classes with the
understanding on how to train
their dog, control both neg-
ative and positive situations
and (have) a happier, healthier
relationship with their dog,”
Mrs. McCormack said. “Not
to mention, good times.”
Tech. Sgt. Joseph Bates,
52nd Fighter Wing protocol
and dog owner, enrolled his
two American Staffordshire
Terriers, Charlie and Stella, in
the obedience class.
“Any medium or large dog
needs several things,” Sgt.
Bates said. “At, or near, the
top of the list, is continual
training. The beauty of the
classes at the Pet Spa is that
you get training and socializa-

“This socialization is great
for the dog because it keeps
their skills of playing correctly

plus it gives them extra exer-

“If dogs do not become social-

consider the dog trained or
socialized. It is an excellent
opportunity to learn more
about dogs as the trainer is on
hand. You get to expose your
dog to many types, situations,
distracters and breeds as stu-
dents come and go constantly.
Any new thing, be it a puppy,
a terrier, a male/female, etc.,
can be an object of intense
interest, fear and sometimes
aggression on the part your
dog. Exposure can help your
dog accept and enjoy these
new things, so when they
experience them again at your
home or on the walk, bad
things doesn’t happen.
The play group is also a
great opportunity to talk with
people who share a common
interest, work some excess
energy out of the dog and get
away from the T.V,” he said.
Dogs are invited to Yappy

Dogs that have not been

Iraqi air force flying training school

opens at Kirkuk
by Staff Sgt. Jared Marquis
506th Air Expeditionary Group Public Affairs

KIRKUK AIR BASE, Iraq (AFPN) — The

Iraqi air force flying training school opened its
doors Oct. 1 and began to train Iraqi aviators
with the assistance of American Airmen.
The planning for the school has been in
the works for approximately two years and
is all part of the plan to return Kirkuk Air
Base back to the Iraqi air force, said Lt. Col.
Mark Bennett, the 52nd Expeditionary Flying
Training Squadron commander.
“Kirkuk may be the first air base returned to
Iraqi control,” he said.
The colonel said that is one of the reasons
for standing up the 52nd EFTS and the train-
ing school here. The 52nd EFTS mission is vital
to the future of the Iraqi air force.
“What we are doing here is going to allow
Iraqis to provide security for their country,”
he said.
The initial class will have 10 students and
two Cessna-172 aircraft, but that is just the U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Jeremy McGuffin
