Cook Air Force Print News OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM High morale and patriotism will keep troops focused on the task at hand, said Lt. Gen. Charles F. Wald, the combined forces air component commander of Operation Enduring Freedom. He said he does not see low morale becoming an issue in the war on terrorism.

Moseley takes over the Enduring Freedom air campaign as the commander of 9th Air Force and U.S. Central Command Air fessionalism," Wald said. "Every person I've seen said, 'I want to be here. I want to be a part of this, and I'll do it until the end.' I don't think there'll ever be a morale problem in this war." He said he is proud of the newest generation of airmen. "Generation X is no different than any other generation. They're patriotic people," he said. "They're emotional about America. They stand tall with the flag. They'll fight this fight to the end. They'll sacrifice their lives just like any other generation for our country has. "It's clear that people are proud of the fact that they can serve their country," Wald said.

Texas fAFPM Gaininor mnmpn- - tum with online training, Air Education and Training Command officials recently increased the number of craftsman courses on the command's Web site. The Web site now includes links to more than 1,000 open enrollment courses via the Air Force computer-base- d training program; links to several resource adviser courses developed by the Air Force Institute for Advanced Distributed Learning; and qualification and continuation training for the 2E, 3A, 3C and 3E career fields. ADL is a Department of d initiative to explore and use advanced technologies and the Internet to enhance traditional instruction methods. "AETC's Advanced Distributed Learning program is growing at a phenomenal rate," said Master Sgt. Brian Burton of AETC's ADL branch. "The ability to take effective, interactive training to the learner, anytime, anywhere, is a powerful means of preparing today's airmen for tomorrow's challenges. "Perhaps one of the most attractive features ofADL is the ability to use current technology to enhance Defense-sponsore- 4 up e-tiraoirDD- B-- 2 n. Center receives 2 mode! I3-- by Mary Galbraith Hilltop Times staff A large-scale collaboration was represented with a model last week. During a small Nov. 9 ceremony, Janis Pamijans, vice president Lean Operations and Quality Assurance, Air Combat Sector at Northrop-Grummamodel to Maj. Gen. Scott presented a Bergren, Ogden Air Logistic Center commander. The model is displayed in the foyer of Bldg. 1 102. "I'm honored to present a model which I think represents one of the most advanced weapons platforms built in collaboration with government and industry partners, to the Ogden Air Logistics Center," Pamijans said. "We have to do this as a collaborative effort ... Without working together we could not deliver, maintain and support a weapons platform like this, especially during a time of war." Ogden ALC workers partnered with the company in 1999 to begin transferring depot operations from the company's California plant. Thanks to the partnership, components are now repaired here resulting in a reduced price for war fighters. In addition, Hill and Northrop-Grumma- n employees share technical expertise and training. Pamijans said the model is a reminder of industry and the government collaborating to improve processes, tools and technologies. "Let me tell you how pleased I am to be par t of this team. Look at the things that we have accomplished together since this venture started in 1999," Bergren said. "There's a lot about this moment and what we're doing with Northrop-Grumma- n that's involved in the future of this depot ... This weapon system is the most sophisticated weapon system that was ever built in the world, and we're playing an important part right here at Hill AFB." Bergren told those in attendance he's excited about the center's partnership with industry and its future. During a recent video teleconference, senior Air Force leadership told the general e depot strategies will be built upon partnerships with civilian industry. e B-- 2 B-- long-rang- Web irDg classes, thereby reducing temporary duty lengths in many cases," he said. For now, technical training craftsman courses dominate the site, but that is slated to change, said Dave Searcey from the ADL branch. "Prototype ADL lessons for 5 Eagle and 6 Fighting Falcon aircrew training are being developed this year, with other weapons systems under review," he said. The potential for the Air Force, not just AETC, is huge." For example, 5 Stratotanker aircrew training occurs around the world, around the clock. An ADL 5 training module on landing gear could be used for initial qualification training, as well as by qualified aircrews for continuation training in the field, Searcey said. Graduate training programs are other courses of study that can benefit from ADL Many of these programs, such as aircraft commander or instructor qualification courses, require aircrew people to return to the schoolhouse where they spend the first three to eight days in academics. Through ADL, people could complete a portion of F-1- KC-13- small-scal- n, classroom courses or replace onjy a portion of KC-13- Photo by Airman 1 st Class Cory McCutchin in front of a Scott Bergren and Janis Pamijans shake hands model presented to the Ogden ALC by Northrop-Grumma- Maj.

"AETC saves TDY money, aircrew members reduce their time away from home, commanders reduce time away from the mission, and online ADL courses can be reviewed by crewmembers anytime or used for unit training anywhere," he said. AETC added an interactive demonstration of ADL on the Web site that gives an overview of the benefits, uses and potential of this technology. This demonstration program offers an opportunity for those with little to no understanding about advanced distributed learning to see what the program offers," said Maj. Joe Tegtmeyer, ADL branch chief. "It provides a great overview of how training can be delivered via the Internet, including high quality sound, animation and interactivity." Active-dutGuard and Reserve people selected to enroll in an online course will be contacted through traditional formal training channels. To check out the latest course or for training opportunities, people can visit the AETC Web site. y, POOR |
