15 Dec Operation NEW DAWN and the US military mission in Iraq ended this date. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in his address at US Forces-Iraq headquarters said, “On this very historic occasion for both the Iraqi people and the American people, no words, no ceremony can provide full tribute to the sacrifices that have brought this day to pass.” Nearly 4500 US military personnel were killed in OIF and OND and more that 32000 were wounded.55 Figure 9-21: An AFW NCO guides Polish Air Force Capt. Sebastian Bernatowicz in the operation of the AN/TMQ-53 during CADRE FOCUS winter exercise. (U.S. Army photo by Michael Beaton) Lt Col Steven Vilpors, last commander of the inactivated 22nd Expeditionary Weather Squadron, and TSgt Nicole Beye, 2nd Weather Squadron, were aboard the last flight that departed Imam Ali Air Base, Iraq carrying 62 US Airman to Kuwait. AFCENT A3/A3W believed these were the last two AFW Airman to leave Iraq.56 Figure 9 22: TSgt Carrie Volpe checking surface weather data received from TMSO installed to support JSOAD aircraft missions operating from Edwin Andrews Air Base owned by the Philippine Air Force. 14 Dec TSgt Carrie Volpe deployed from the 17th OWS, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI, in support of U.S. Joint Special Operations Task Force – Philippines (JSOTF-P) located at Zamboanga, Mindanao Island, Philippines. JSOTF-P’s mission was focused on providing advice to the Philippine military and assisting them in their fight against terrorism. TSgt Volpe conducted weather operations in support of the Joint Special Operations Air Detachment (JSOAD) who flew a small fleet of fixed wing PC-12s and C-12s and Bell 214 helicopters. Missions were flown into jungle areas where U.S. and Philippine forces were collocated. As a guest of a host-nation, with limited meteorological equipment and separate operating schedule, her task to provide timely and accurate weather information was challenged. To overcome the lack of timely weather observations she convinced her boss, Lt Col Doug Carroll, JSOAD commander, they needed an A/N TMQ-53 TMOS. Lt Col Carroll, deployed from Kadena AB, Japan, knew his home unit, 353rd Special Operations Support Squadron, had the equipment. Upon approval from Special Operations Command Pacific, the 353rd rapidly deployed the system to the Philippines. MSgt Scott Williams, 353rd weather flight’s NCOIC escorted the system and soon after his arrival, MSgt Williams and TSgt Volpe had the TMQ-53 installed and providing a steady stream of surface weather observational data not only to local JSOTF-P forces but also to the restricted access, world-wide AFW distribution network.57 
2012 5 Jan Defense Secretary Leon Panetta released new strategic guidance for DoD “…to articulate priorities for a 21st century defense that sustains U.S. global leadership.” The guidance preserved DoD’s ability to conduct missions important to protecting core national interests: defeating al-Qa’ida and its affiliates and succeeding in current conflicts; defeating aggression by adversaries; countering weapons of mass destruction; effectively operation in cyberspace, space, and across all domains; maintaining a safe and effective nuclear deterrent; and protecting the homeland. This guidance document would serve AFW as the top level planning document to shape the future of Air Force Weather as the Nation wrestled with putting its “fiscal house in order” over the coming decade. 58 Faced with significant cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011, DoD had to significantly reduce defense spending. AFW used the document to formulate its 2012 planning and programming activities to ensure the Air Force’s planned weather program was aligned properly so the Joint Force would have timely, accurate, and relevant weather information to meet future threats. 6 Jan Air Mobility Command published a summary of cargo delivered via airdrop operations in Afghanistan. During 2011, AFCENT’s AOC in Southwest Asia recorded a new annual record of 75,956,235 pounds of cargo delivered. Mobility Airmen completed the airdrops in various forms – from the use of the traditional Container Delivery System (CDS) bundles to the Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS).59 
Figure 9–23: JPADS Mission Planning system JPADS, consisted of self-guided cargo parachute systems (Army lead), and a common laptop mission planning (MP) and weather system (USAF lead) with numerous additional partners. The JPADS-MP and weather system was a snap-on/snap-off kit for use in C-130s, C-17s, and other aircraft to determine optimum Computed Aerial Release Points (CARPs). MP collected and assimilated weather and programmed JPADS cargo systems wirelessly in the aircraft just prior to exit. The MP produced Launch Acceptability Regions (LARs) within which the systems could be dropped to get to their planned Point of Impact (PI) and also wirelessly updated JPADS Airborne Guidance Units (AGUs) with new PIs (if desired) just prior to aircraft exit. The MP software, running on a laptop computer, provided the basis to calculate and upload JPADS mission files (pre-mission planning while on the ground and en route on the aircraft to the AGU. Aircrew members input mission parameters, including forecasted meteorological data from AFWA, the type of aircraft, the location of the payload on the aircraft, the payload characteristics, and the planned PI, to derive a CARP. The system also had a hand-held dropsonde that an aircrew member could deploy from an aircraft prior to an airdrop to collect and transmit aloft wind data back to the JPADS-MP to update the CARP. The system accomplished in-flight updates to the AGU via an UHF radio link back to the aircraft and the MP. The MP used the system’s PADS Interface Processor (PIP) and UHF combiner installed on the aircraft for the JPADS laptop computer to receive data from the dropsonde(s).60 Two retired AFW members were instrumental in the development of JPADS weather component; Cols Robert (Bob) P. Wright, former 1st WW and 2nd WW commander, and Col Joseph (Joe) D. Dushan, former AFGWC and AWS commander. 12 Jan Congress terminated funding for the Defense Weather Satellite System (DWSS) in the recently enacted 2012 defense appropriations legislation. The AF must devise a new strategy for future space-based weather monitoring. DWSS, borne out of the cancelled tri-agency NPOESS weather satellite program, was the planned successor to the legacy Defense Meteorological Satellite Program. But, lawmakers last year voiced concern over DWSS' costs and fielding schedule and instead favored continued weather sensor development and requirements definition that would lead to a new satellite that would be openly competed. As a result, Congress eliminated all but $43 million of the service's $445 million request for DWSS development in FY 2012. They stipulated that the Air Force use the $43 million to cover its DWSS termination liability. They also added $125 million in a separate funding line for "weather satellite follow-on activities." AFSPC must now determine an appropriate future path. The immediate result would be the extension of DMSP operations by launching the remaining two satellites in the series, DMSP F-19 and DMSP F-20, to provide environmental data into the mid-2020s.61 
9 Mar Col Louis V. Zuccarello assumed command of AFWA from Col Robert L. Russell. Figure 9–24: Members of 72th EACS installed A/N-75 Air Surveillance Radar at an undisclosed SWA location; source of non-traditional weather data. (USAF photo by 1Lt Victoria Porto) 18 Mar AFW will soon have access to precipitation and velocity data from non-weather, Doppler, air surveillance radars located in tactical operational areas. On this date, Members of the 727th Expeditionary Air Control Squadron installed an A/N- TPS-75 air surveillance radar at an undisclosed air base in Southwest Asia to improve long-range, real-time coverage of Arabian Gulf airspace. The air base is the operating location of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing. The TPS-75 gives radar operators of the squadron a larger and a more detailed picture as they monitor all air activity in the area. AFWA planned to test, in July, a capability that would capture the weather reflectivity and velocity data that is not used for aircraft surveillance, process the data, and send it to the 28th OWS for distribution to various end-users via world-wide network communication capabilities. This is one example of AFW taking advantage of non-traditional sensing capabilities to obtain weather related data and turn it into meaningful decision assistance products.62

John Waltbillig also participated. (Photo by Debra Cox) 12 Apr The Florida Air National Guard inactivated the Weather Readiness Training Center (WRTC) at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center and activated the 131st Training Flight (TRF). The WRTC was federally recognized in December 1992, and in 2000 converted from an "as needed" weather course to a continuous 17-week formal school. The unit’s mission was to train Air Force and Air National Guard weather personnel in combat meteorological tasks. The 131st TRF would continue to provide the same support, but the designation as a numbered unit would increase its effectiveness in the ANG and help it better equip and train weather Airmen to go into combat zones.63 14 Apr Sixteen KC-135 tankers evacuated from McConnell AFB, KS, hours before severe weather in the form of tornadoes and large hail struck the base. Based on relevant and timely weather information prepared by the weather flight of the 22nd Operational Support Squadron, on the evening of 13 Apr and updated the morning of the 14th, the 22nd Air Refueling Wing leadership issued the evacuation order. The move avoided a potential of more than a half billion dollars in aircraft damage. Later in the day McConnell AFB was struck with one of the 100 tornadoes reported across the Midwest this date. The active duty side of McConnell AFB received minor damage while the Kansas Air National Guard facilities received severe damage.64 14 Jun The Air Force Association selected SrA Matthew Butler, a weather technician with the 15th OWS, as one of the 12 Outstanding Airmen of the Year for 2012. He was chosen based on his superior leadership, job performance, community involvement and personal achievements. Some of SrA butler’s accomplishments included securing humanitarian and combat operation missions within his career field. While deployed to Iraq, he prepared 400 forecasts, enabling 5,500 flight hours and 40 combat convoys in support of Operation NEW DAWN.65
