642 ELSS completes first fixed site security installation in AOR
By Rhonda Siciliano
Members of the 642nd Electronic Systems
Squadron recently completed the first fixed site security
installation in the Southwest Asia Area of Responsibility
for the Air Force's Combined Air and Space Operations
Center. The project came in as a direct request to the
Electronic Systems Center from Lt. Gen. Gary North, U.S. Air
Forces Central commander as an immediate need in October
2007.
The 642nd built a flexible acquisition strategy to work around the delays in building construction, ensuring that the security system was in place before the CAOC became operational. Once a known baseline was established, the security installation was delivered on-time, on-cost and now provides enhanced situational awareness for Security Forces personnel overseas protecting vital resources in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. "We're proud to deliver this first ever AFCENT fixed site intrusion detection system to our warfighter on cost and on schedule with full capability to meet their needs," said Lloyd Corricelli, Combatant Commands Integrated Base Defense Security System program manager.

command comments ... ... This week, we will achieve a major milestone in the activation of Air Force Global Strike Command. This command will bring together our strategic nuclear forces, our ICBMs and our nuclear bomber forces, under a single commander…. This command will provide the combatant commanders with forces to conduct strategic nuclear deterrence in global strike operations through the ICBM, B-2 and B-52 operations. We've reinvigorated in this process the accountability and compliance issues with respect to nuclear forces at all levels. We have been reemphasizing training for inspectors at our inspection center and also at the MAJCOM level. We've added about $750 million over the five-year defense plan, in addition to an annual expenditure of about $4.2 billion per year on the nuclear enterprise. And finally, we are standing up a fourth B-52 squadron also to provide for longer and more focused training.
