USS Nimitz ‘Interaction’ was the theme during Squadron’s 2 deployment to Marine Corps

Air Station Yuma. Not only with the instructors and students from the U.S.Marines, Navy, Air Force and Army at the Weapons and Tactics Instructor course.Deployment commander Navy Commander Armando Segarra arranged a visit to the USS Nimitz at San Diego, California. The aircraft carrier was in the harbourfor a post deployment phase.

Having flown the A-6 Intruder (Bombardier/Navigator) and F-14 Tomcat (Radar Intercept Officer), he deployed 5 times, has lived 4 years at sea and has around 750 take-off’s and landings off the carrier. He was the Air WingOperations Officer on board the USS Enterprise on his most recent deployment in 2001. During the 3-hour stay at CVN 68 he kept his listeners attention with his knowledge from the operations on board an aircraft carrier.

NATO takes major step forwardtowards putting Eyes in the Sky

In a major development for NATO’sability to conduct future operations,member countries have decided tojointly purchase a state-of-the-artground surveillance system by Spring2005. Made up of special aircraft,unmanned flying drones and groundequipment, the Alliance GroundSurveillance (AGS) system will provideNATO decision-makers with imagesand critical information on what ishappening on the ground in a givenarea in peacetime, crisis or conflict.

These ‘eyes in the sky’ will greatlyfacilitate both the planning andconduct of NATO operations.

Historic decisionOn 16 April, National Armament

Directors from the 25 NATO member

countries endorsed the decision to signa contract for the system, by Spring2005, with the Transatlantic IndustrialProposed Solution, made up of EADS,Galileo Avionica, General DynamicsCanada, Indra, Northrop Grummanand Thales. It is to be delivered by2010.

The development of a NATO groundsurveillance system has long beenconsidered a major priority for theAlliance. The decision is a major stepforward, also because it is a jointprocurement decision by NATOmember countries.

“This is only the second time inNATO’s history that members joinforces in procurement on this scale,” said NATO Spokesman JamesAppathurai, referring to AWACSsurveillance aircraft purchased in the 1980’s. “By deciding to purchase acommon system, rather than separate,nationally owned systems, membercountries will save on costs and makebest use of tax payers’ money,” he added.

Preparing NATO for the futureTop NATO civilian and military

officials met in Norfolk, Virginia, USA,on 6 April for a high-level seminar onNATO’s transformation and developingforces that can be rapidly deployedacross the globe.

NATO’s Transformation Command,ACT, organized the event. It providedAlliance decision-makers with the

opportunity to freely debate thechallenges that lie ahead for NATO.

Capabilities for future missionsOne of the main issues discussed

was a reform of NATO’s defence andmission planning process to ensurethat the Alliance has adequate militarycapabilities for future missions.Participants also discussedexperimentation and training aimed at enhancing the Alliance’s ability to tackle new security threats.

NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and United StatesSecretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeldparticipated in the seminar and held a joint news conference. The SecretaryGeneral pointed out that Afghanistanwas an example of NATO’s new focuson global issues.

“Afghanistan is NATO’s number onepriority,” said Mr. de Hoop Scheffer.“That is a major obligation the Alliancehas entered into. I want to see thatpolitical commitment which theAlliance has entered into completelyand fully translated into militaryresources.”

The Permanent Representatives of the NATO member countries andNATO’s top military commandersattended the seminar.

Driving NATO's transformationAllied Command Transformation

(ACT) was established in 2003. It is charged with promoting thetransformation of Alliance militaries in order to ensure NATO's forces arestructured to meet the challenges of the new security environment. The command’s Headquarters are in Norfolk, Virginia,USA.

This year’s seminar on “21st CenturyMilitary Capabilities: What We’veLearned and Where We’re Going” was the second annual ACT seminar on NATO’s transformation.

ACAS II/RVSM upgrade accomplishedText and photo A1C Stefan Kruckel

On 6 April an award ceremony tookplace at Manching in the south ofGermany. The chief of the EuropeanAeronautic Defence and Space (EADS) Company recognised ForceCommander Maj. Gen. Gary A. Winterberger, ComponentCommander Brig. Gen. AxelTüttelmann and the team that wasinvolved in the Airborne CollisionAvoidance System upgrade project for their outstanding performance. The ACAS upgrade of the E-3As is an assignment conducted by thecomponent and the EADS group.

During the project, the fleet’s flight-deck systems have been upgraded tomeet near-term European civil air

requirements for Reduced VerticalSeparation Minimum (RVSM). This will allow the E-3As to operate in areas where the air traffic controlvertical separation requirements have been reduced to handle increasedair traffic.

Additionally, the AWACS aircraft willbe outfitted with an ACAS that workswith the aircraft’s Identification Friendor Foe (IFF) transponder to detectother aircraft within ACAS protectedairspace. If an aircraft comes too close, the system sounds an alert andprovides a message (climb or descend)to the AWACS flight crew to avoid a collision.

Even though the number of jobs that had to be done increased duringthe project, everyone – especially the

portions of the team that had to tacklewith the practical problems – assumeda high responsibility for their jobs.While the project was still in theplanning phase, a huge part of thework was allocated to the component.Finally the effort can also be countedin figures. 1 Million dollars were savedbecause the component did more workas originally budgeted.

Due to the extraordinary effort of everyone involved, the project wasfinished as scheduled. Once again thepeople involved have proven that ateam is more than just the number ofthe individuals. Neither the extendedworking hours nor the high difficultyof this project could temper the team’seffort in getting that job doneoptimally.

The team that was involved in the upgrade.

After the purchase of AWACS aircraft in the 1980’s it is for the second time in NATO’shistory members jointly purchase a system on this scale. Photo PIO archive


After 10,000-km the sun welcomes Squadron 2Text and photos SMSgt. Johan Hijmenberg

When the luggage truck arrives at0700 at the Squadron 2 buildingon 6 April, the technicians arealready performing their pre-flightat aircraft #449 on the ramp infront of Hangar 1. Almost 10,000kilometres lie in front of the crewand maintenance personnel.Yuma, Arizona, U.S. is theirdestination.

It’s evident that one flight deck crew,due to crew duty times, isn’t enough.That’s why an augmented crew wasscheduled for this flight. Three pilots,two navigators and two flightengineers were listed. As the NATO E-3A Component is a multinationalflying unit, the composition of theflightdeck crew shows it: Sevenpersons, seven different nationalities.

The flight engineers CMSgt. OrazioPanza and MSgt. Frank Soos ordered113,000 pounds of fuel for the AtlanticOcean flight to Greenwood in Canada.Together with the technician colleaguesof radar, computer display andcommunications they are responsiblefor the pre-flight.

Besides the responsibility of orderingthe fuel, they do, among other things,the walk around the aircraft. Inconnection with the maintenance crewchiefs they verify if the aircraft is readyto fly, and that nothing is there toground the aircraft. They also lookinside the aircraft thoroughly from thefront to the back. They leave the upperlobe through a panel in the floor tocheck equipment downstairs in thelower lobe. Then CMSgt. Panza goeswith his checklist into the cockpit andstarts to push buttons on the consolepanel.

When the pre-flight is almostfinished, the rest of the crew arrives at the aircraft. Together they unloadthe luggage truck and bring it insidethe aircraft. Radar technician SSgt.Markus Brunner, ‘borrowed’ for thisdeployment from Squadron 3, storesthe luggage with help from others in the J-compartment.

The aircraft with call sign NATO42 taxies to the beginning of therunway for the start. Due to theweather situation in eastern Canadathe flight plan had to be changedearlier on the day. First choice for thefuel stop was Gander, but due to theirweather forecast aircraft commanderCommandant Patrick Deschrijver hadto change the flight plan. “Ganderforecasted snow,” he explains, “so we had to look for an other airfield.Regulations also say that besides adestination airfield one fully accessible

alternate airfield has to be filed. Halifaxwas available. Due too the change offlight plan CMSgt. Panza had to upload17,000 pounds of fuel.

After the ‘fasten seatbelts’ sign went off activity spreads through theSquadron 2 crew. The mission systemshave to be checked. “This is a normalprocedure,” says deploymentcommander Navy CommanderArmando Segarra. “Our deploymentlocation is 10,000-km away fromGeilenkirchen. We have to be sure that we arrive at Yuma with a fullyoperational system. That’s why wecheck out the computer, radar andcommunications systems. When we notice any failures we have thepossibility to return to Geilenkirchenand solve the problem or, whennecessary, to change the aircraft.”Fortunately, the crew didn’t notice anysystem failures, and the flight could becontinued.

“Look, a Boeing 747 from SingaporeAirlines”, shows CommandantDeschrijver. The Singapore aircraftpasses by at 2,000 feet. When itdisappears at the horizon an USAF DC-10 overflies us. A much faster aircraftthat our Boeing 707. “Over the AtlanticOcean are daily civilian air routes,”explains navigator Maj. Jan Schraudy.In his small area in the back of thecockpit, he uses maps, rules lines andcalculates the right direction. Whennecessary he has at his disposal also

a global position system that he installsin the top of the aircraft just behindthe cockpit.

Behind his back CMSgt. Panzacalculates as well. Using the ‘plannedversus in-flight fuel consumption’ sheethe takes care about the burning up ofthe fuel. All flight long he calculates theamount of fuel and the flying range togo. “Using the figures of the weight ofthe aircraft, the flight level and theamount of fuel, I predict theconsumption of fuel.”

The route to Greenwood brings usover Belgium, Lands End in the southof England and along the 51° northparallel of latitude to Greenwood. No snowfall on the day itself but in thepast they had plenty. Instead of hidingfrom the rain at Geilenkirchen, sevenhours later the crew attacks each other with snowballs.

The fuel stop at Greenwood, aCanadian AFB on Nova Scotia flying theOrion P3 and Hercules aircraft, laststhree hours. The temperature is belowzero. The four maintenance personnelprepare themselves. They broughtwarm clothes in their hand luggage.With the NATO credit card in theirpocket they leave the aircraft becausethe ordered 95,000 pounds of fuel haveto be paid on the spot. Besides keepingan eye to the fuel uploading theyperform a maintenance walk aroundand service the toilet. The welcome, in contrast to the outside cold, is warm.Coffee is offered and maintenance gets all the assistance they request.More than half the distance to Yuma is flown. Only 4,665 km to go.

As the work for the mission crew is done they take their rest during thelast part of the flight. Some are readinga book, others found themselves in agroup playing a card game, and a fewclose their eyes for sleep. In a diagonalline, the aircraft crosses the UnitedStates from Northeast to Southwest.After seventeen hours (Geilenkirchen7 April, 0200 local time) CommandantDeschrijver and his crew put down theaircraft at Marine Corps Air StationYuma at 1700 local time.

No rain, no snow at Yuma. “Sunny,warm, and clear” are the mostfrequently heard words on the dailyweather reports. Welcome words after a 10,000-km flight. Perfect flyingweather for the coming two weeks.

Crew chief SSgt. MichaelFabiszewski, well preparedagainst the cold, goes over the engine Integrated DriveGenerator during themaintenance walk around at Greenwood AFB, Canada.

‘Welcome Aboard MCAS Yuma’finds the Squadron 2 crew andadditional maintenance personnelon top of the base operationscentre when they step down the E-3A aircraft. From 6 to 19 Aprilthey supported the U.S. Marinesemi-annual Weapons and TacticsInstructor course, a comprehensivepost graduated-level course ofinstruction for highly experiencedofficers from all aviationcommunities throughout theMarine Corps and selected AirForce, Army and Navy Units.

With access to 2.8 million acres ofbombing and aviation training rangesand superb flying weather, MarineCorps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma,Arizona, USA supports eighty percentof the Corps air-to-ground aviationtraining. Annually the station hostsabout fifty aviation units, bringing anaverage of five hundred aircraft and9,000 personnel for ongoing trainingthat takes place all over the year.

As the scheduling authority for theYuma Training Range Complex, MCASYuma provides fleet squadrons accessto 10,000 square miles of special-useairspace designated for militaryaviation training and almost 2,000square miles of underlying landreserved as aerial bombing andgunnery ranges. Collectively, thiscomplex is the largest tactical aviationtraining range by the Marine Corps.

MCAS Yuma is also the only joint-use air station in the Marine Corps.Through an agreement between theMarine Corps and Yuma County, MCASprovides all air traffic control, crashcrew services, security, and maintainsthe runways and taxiways for both theMCAS and Yuma International Airport.

In 1928 the place, covered withcactus, brush and desert wildlife, was

inaugurated. Used during World War IIas the busiest flying school in thenation, it was reclaimed by the desertafter the war. The Air Force reactivatedthe base in 1951. It was changed toMCAS in 1962. Since then, the mainrunway has been extended to 13,300feet, and the Tactical Aircrew CombatTraining System, has been added. Thesystem is designed to provide realisticair-to-air combat training withelectronically simulatedweapons firing forall Navy andMarine

Squadrons.Today, MCAS Yuma is the busiest

air station in the Marine Corps and the third busiest in the Naval Service.Nestled in five square miles ofsoutheastern Yuma, the air station ishome to a number of tenant units. Itsprimary mission is to support aerialweapons training for the Atlantic andPacific Fleet Marine Forces and Navy,

and to serve as a base ofoperations for Marine

Aviation Weaponsand Tactics

Squadron1.

The Weapons and Tactics InstructorCourse (WTIC) is broken into threephases: academics, a flight syllabus anda final exercise. Besides flying officers,officers from infantry and groundsupporting arms units also attend the course. The WTIC is designed toprovide one WTI or WTI aircrew persquadron or unit per year. The object is to graduate officers who are fullyqualified in their warfare speciality andcapable of the planning and executionof integrated missions.

The academic phase is divided into a week of generic instruction on thethreat and contingencies and a week offixed wing, rotary wing and command,control and communications commoninstruction, along with specificinstruction on each particular warfarespeciality. The flight phase, whichbegins the third week of the course,consists of one week of specificweapons and tactics employment for each type aircraft or Marine aircommand control squadron agency. A second week of fixed wing and rotarywing common flight orientations and a third week of integrated flightevolutions encompassing all facets ofMarine aviation. The last week of thecourse is set aside for a final exercise in which WTI students plan, executeand debrief integrated missions in asophisticated threat environment.

Squadron 2 supports Marines

‘The interaction is priceless’

Jumping the 7,000 hours lineThere are more pilots within the E-3A Component who have 7,000 flying

hours on their record. All of them got it at different places in the air. Aircraftcommander Commandant Patrick ‘Pat’ Deschrijver jumped the 7,000 hoursline Northeast of Yuma, Arizona, USA on 8 April. Returning. His colleaguesfrom Squadron 2 celebrated the occasion with a ‘throw-Pat-in-the-hotel-pool’later on the day.

Above the desert with its ancient cultures of the American Southwest heflew his 1,400-hour in the Boeing 707 AWACS. He received his flyingcertificate in 1980. Starting as fighter pilot he flew Mirage 5 and fifteen yearsAlpha Jet in the Belgian Air Force. Five years he performed with the Alpha Jetdisplays on Air Shows through all Europe. Once it brought him on the sameday from a display in the morning at Wales to Portugal in the late afternoon.All 4,500 starts and landings in his career went straight forward, except onelanding. During a display he had to bail out the Alpha Jet. Using his parachutehe safely reached the ground.

INTERACTIONContinued from page 6

The practical part is as realistic aspossible. At the training range complexthe instructors use Smokey Sams as athreat. It’s a type of rocket that leaves a visible smoke trail used to simulatesurface-to-air missiles or shoulder-fired rocket propelled grenades. It does facilitate the combat scenarioby providing tactical support forsurface-to-air missile training. Thepilots don’t know where the missilessites are. It’s to keep the student pilotson their toes. It trains the pilots’ musclememory on how to react to thosesituations and could possibly save theirlives, as the pilots invariably fall backon their training in a combat situation.

During the fifth week of the coursethe NATO AWACS joins in, as well as U.S. AWACS. Before they go ondeployment, Squadron 2 alreadyarranged with the Federal AviationAssociation and the U.S. Air Force that they use their airspace. A Letter of Agreement is the result. “We arehere to support the Marines with thecourse and to exchange knowledge,”says Squadron 2 fighter allocator 1st Lt. Martin ‘Coco’ Vogt. “On the first dayafter our arrival, we provided briefingsto help the students to understand theE-3 capabilities and limitations, andhow to employ a NATO E-3.”

During the last two weeks the NATOdetachment supported with buildingup the training in different areas andtaskings. 1st Lt Vogt: “NATO was part ofthe air-to-ground and airborne assetsthat were integrated into the Marinesway of operations. As well to controlfixed wing aircraft and helicopters withdifferent taskings. We also support the Marines with their Command and Control assets, similar in Europewith CRC and CAOC structures.”

But support and knowledge are notonly given. There’re taken too. “Wedon’t have the opportunity to trainwith the Marines in Europe,” explains1st Lt Vogt. “It’s good that we exercisetogether. For both parties it’s a one-

time chance to each see how the otheroperates and learn from each other.”

An opinion that is shared bydeployment commander NavyCommander Armando Segarra. “The interaction is priceless,” he says.“This deployment is the third time that Squadron 2 has supported WTI.Normally the Marines never meetNATO units. At the briefings, after our arrival, it was good to notice thatthe Marines appreciated the differentapproach. The NATO guys have goodideas, they noted. The exchange ofexperiences provides good value forboth sides. Not only for the weaponsside, but also the surveillance sidebenefits from their taskings in adifferent operational area.”

An exercise with the U.S. Navy isquite different than with the Marines.Cdr Segarra: “The marines have theirown doctrine. They are focused onamphibious operations. They areconcentrated on providing close air-to-ground support to their comrades

landing on hostile territory. Theyswitch from maritime to over-landoperations. As the E-3A Component,

we don’t practice to supportthese kind of operationsvery often. It’s good to seethat the marines againpositively welcomedNATO’s contributionto the course. An invitation to Squadron 2was alreadyextended bythe Marinesto supporttheir Fallcourse.”


Ciao OrazioThere are Component members who are less lucky than flight engineer

CMSgt. Orazio Panza. Not everyone can say goodbye to the Component after a last deployment to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. Coming back from theDesert City the landing at Geilenkirchen on 19 April was his last one in theBoeing 707 AWACS. A hose down was his reward.

Coming to Geilenkirchen in May 2000 he flew 1,500 hours for NATO. All the time with much fun in Squadron 2. His next assignment will be 336 Wing in Gioia del Colle, flying P-180 Avanti.

7th InternationalCanine BiathlonBy Jo Collaris, Biathlon Organization

On 5 June, the Civil Guard Sectionof the Security Squadron is hostingtheir 7th Annual Canine Biathlonat the NATO E-3A Component.Although many of you know about this famous competition, we would like to provide a shortexplanation for the newcomers.

The biathlon is a cross-country runfor Police and Military dog handlers.During the run a team (handler and his dog) needs to complete around20 obstacles divided over 8.5 km.Obstacles are in various designs such as climbing, crawling, biking, shooting,dog drill (attack and obedience) andswimming. Time and penalties willdecide the match, because not only the fastest time, but also the fewestpenalties will set the overall winner.The competition is to be carried out by individual teams. Every 3 minutes a new team will start.

This year’s edition will bring almost 100 teams. Until now we have registered teams coming fromGermany, Belgium, Czech Republic,England, France, Hungary, theNetherlands, Switzerland, Latvia andU.S. Dog handlers working in Germany.Teams are comprised of only police and military personnel.

For spectators, the run is attractivebecause the whole track is inside the E-3A Component, and the track is openfor public (walking).

Twenty Years of Outstanding ServiceBy MSgt. Frank S. Shoemaker

In 1984, many fascinating eventsoccurred around the world. Some of usmay remember in early 1984, a Mobiloil tanker spilled 200,000 gallons of oil into the Columbia River, MichaelJackson was burned during filming for a Pepsi commercial, Marita Koch of East Germany set a world women'smark for 200m, amazing 21.71 seconds,the U.S. Senate rejected an amendmentto permit spoken prayer in publicschools and a new killer was identified,known today as the Acquired ImmuneDeficiency Syndrome virus. Anothermajor event occurred right here atGeilenkirchen NATO Air Base, Germany.

Recently, his commander, Lt. Col.Gregory L. Kesler, recognized PeterH. Bartelet for 20 years of servicewith the Field RegistrationStation, Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base, Germany.

As many of you know, the FieldRegistration Station provides vehicleregistration to members assigned toGeilenkirchen NATO Air Base and severalother geographically separated units.When you first arrived at Geilenkirchen,one of the first faces you probably sawwas Bartelet. He has been employed as a member of the U.S. National SupportUnit for 20 years, working in the vehicleregistration section.

Bartelet reflected back at this timehere at Geilenkirchen with many fond memories. He has worked for7 different U.S. commanders andmoved offices 6 different times. When first employed, Barteletcompleted all license applications and vehicle registrations without theaid of computers and remembers handwriting all transactions. In 1984, therewere approximately 500 vehicles

registered at Geilenkirchen. Today,there are over 1,800 vehicles registeredat Geilenkichen NATO Air Base FieldRegistration Station. His fondestmemories while employed with theU.S. National Support Unit is workingwith the variety of cultures and peoplethat are assigned to Geilenkirchen.Bartelet is looking forward to manymore years of continued service withthe Geilenkirchen family.
