International Children’s Festival - A spring time Tradition at the E-3A Component
On Saturday, May 10th, the E-3A
Component will host our 26th annual
International Children’s Festival.
I would like to take this opportunity
to invite all the families of the
Component out to your base to
enjoy the fun and entertainment this
day offers to our team. A highlight
for ICF is the coloring contest for
children from ages 4 to 12. This year’s
top prize is a €100 gift voucher!
I know, rain or shine, this year’s
Festival promises to be an enjoyable
afternoon and be certain, there will
be memories made every minute!
This event would not be possible
without the leadership of our
Component members from Turkey
who organized the talents from many
National Support Units to make
things happen. I want to thank all
the members of the Component
who contribute their time and efforts
to make this year’s International
Children’s Festival a success. Their
efforts provide all of us a unique
opportunity to make some lasting
memories for the whole family
as children from 16 nations come
together under the umbrella of fun.
As your Component Commander,
providing opportunities to you and
your families to have some fun at
our base is important to me. While
your services team can’t offer a large
number of programs, throughout the
year they hold several events which
offer you the opportunity to bring
your families out and enjoy the fun
at NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen.
Each month, MWA and IYA
sponsored activities are listed right
here in the pages of the Skywatch.
Just one day prior to the ICF,
restoration work on our 10,000 foot
runway will start. This project will
resurface the top portion of our
30 year old runway with
30 centimeters of asphalt –
eliminating the deteriorating
concrete surface which hindered our
MOB operations for the past several
years. This runway restoration project
is planned to be completed using
eight work cycles consisting of
11 work days and three fly days
– a total of 16 weeks.
To sustain our ongoing missions
supporting Operation Afghan Assist
and, more recently, missions over
Poland and Romania, E-3A operations
to support to these missions will shift
to our forward operating bases and
location. Supporting operations from
these locations is something the E-3A
Component envisioned and has been
resourced to do since 1984, so I am
certain our Component members
at the FOBs and FOL are ready to
sustain our outstanding mission
success rate.
Dispersing operations from MOB
for a sustained period will be another
first for the E-3A Component.
Like every other mission we have
accomplished over the past year,
I am certain we will maintain our
mission success during the runway
restoration project. I recognize
this will add even more time away
from MOB for many of you and I
appreciate your willingness to get
the mission done. Further, I am
looking to ensure your time at MOB
offers you the opportunity to have
some fun by continuing to support
outstanding Component traditions
like the International Children’s
Festival here.

Restoration
continued from page 1
The plant has to be setup in April
next to the air base. More than
120,000 tons of materials for the
asphalt, which has to be built in,
will be transported onto the air
base through a dedicated gate.
The plan is to complete the runway
restoration with eight plus one
construction cycles; the last one
will be for finalizing works, like
runway markings and final lights.
It is planned to have the restoration
completed by October this year.
Aiming for a minimum of flight
movements during the quiet hours,
it was decided to use the weekdays
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
for flying the aircraft in and out of
MOB GK. To achieve the completion
within the construction cycles, it is
planned to conduct the works in long
working hours including weekends
and holidays with necessary works
also being conducted during
nightshifts. Especially rainy days
prohibiting runway construction
might push works right into
the nights to compensate for
lost working hours. The whole
runway restoration project is
quite demanding, to always have
the runway operational after
11 days, which is what the contractor
and the engineering office agree to.
Both of them are convinced that this
restoration method is feasible.
Many details still need to be
worked out such as the handover
procedure from the company
through the construction office and
the Host Nation to the component
to be accepted by Infrastructure, Air
Traffic Control, Flight Safety and the
Operations Wing before, after each
completed section, the first NAEW
aircraft will use the runway again.
In addition to the runway, the
aircraft apron with the drainage,
the taxiway and the holdings will be
partially restored as well.
Parallel to the infrastructure

the FOL/FOBs in Norway, Turkey,
Greece and Italy taking into account
all operational tasking and training
requirements need to be planned
well in advance. This put quite an
additional effort to all the woman
and man operating the aircraft.
The FOL/FOBs were continuously
informed to be prepared for these
additional taskings. When necessary,
the Component will reinforce them
with equipment and personnel.
To ensure NAEW operations can
continue throughout 2014, the
runway restoration will require effort
from the entire Component.
German ‘Jamkite’ helps Component increase its ECCM capabilities
Story and photos by
Staff Sgt. R. Michael Longoria
A German Air Force ‘Jamkite’
aircraft landed April 2, 2014, at NATO
Air Base Geilenkirchen, Germany, for
a static display and mission planning
session with E-3A Component
personnel.
The ‘Jamkite’, a modified Learjet35,
is able to jam radars and produce
false targets, among other things.
So, by working with the ‘Jamkite’
and its crew, E-3A crewmembers are
able to accomplish specific training
requirements.
“This visit helps the E-3A
Component regain the lost experience
of accomplishing successful missions
under jamming conditions, which
is something that can be expected
during Baltic or Crimean operations
at anytime,” said Maj. Dirk Wenzel.
The Operations Wing Mission
Support Division invited the
‘Jamkite’ crew and airplane to the
main operating base to increase
the Component’s electronic
counter-countermeasures (ECCM)
capabilities. ECCM, which often
means resistance to jamming, is
a part of electronic warfare that
attempts to reduce or eliminate the
effect of electronic countermeasure
on electronic sensors aboard vehicles,
ships and aircraft.
“The static display and interaction
with the ‘Jamkite’ crew allowed
Component personnel an
opportunity to collect information
that enhances their combat-ready
knowledge,” said Major Wenzel.
Additionally, the Component was
able to develop an efficient jamming
mission card to use during future
training missions with the ‘Jamkite’.
Andreas Lamp, an electronic-warfare operator, discusses the capabilities of the
‘Jamkite’ with Capt. Per Sigurd Dvergsdal April 2, 2014, at NATO Air Base
Geilenkirchen, Germany.

History of Component’s Individual Deployment Training at “Tent City”
Editor’s Note: E-3A Component
personnel recently completed the 100th
Individual Deployment Training
(IDT) at NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen.
Therefore, the training instructors
provided us with an article detailing
the 8.5 year history of IDT.
In 1999, in order to meet NATO
requirements, the Individual
Common Core Skills (ICCS) program
was established on the Component.
The aim was to train Component
military personnel on required ICCS
related military skills, a few years
later ICCS became also mandatory
for NATO civilians.
At this time ICCS was a one-day
course. The first years, this course
took place inside the uncomfortable,
windowless basement of bldg.
209. Later on before the IDT area
was established, ICCS was moved
to former office rooms at Hangar
IV, which were from much better
standard.
After the transformation of the
Component from an in-place force to
a deployable force, the requirement
for a more extensive pre-deployment
training was formulated. As a result,
the Component was tasked by the
force commander in March 2005 to
establish IDT as a three-day course
covering all ICCS related topics
including theoretical and practical
lessons. The initial Base Support
Wing planning meeting took place
already in January 2005.
After intensive planning and
preparations, the first course
started in October 2005. Since all
Component members on deployable
posts category 1 had to be initially
trained, 25 IDT courses were
provided during the first 15 months
from 2005 to 2006. Later on the
number of IDTs per year was reduced
to ten.
To develop the course, the
lessons had to be created but more
importantly, the training area had to
be identified, training facilities and
equipment needed to be identified,
procured and erected. Initially, the
training area secured by a kind of
improvised construction site fence
was half size of the current training
area. Tents were used as classrooms,
as accommodations and also the
facility for personal hygiene was
a tent equipped with sinks, water
tabs and a huge container with cold
water. Only field loos were available
as toilets, cold and dark in winter
time, smelling bad in summer time.
Over the years the course itself and
also the course facilities were and
still are steadily improved.
In 2008, after the comprehensive
revision of the course, IDT was
extended from three to four days
including one overnight stay, with
a currency of four years. With
this setup, NATO Allied Command
Transformation (ACT) agency
evaluated IDT and ICCS against
standing NATO requirements for
pre-deployment training courses.
Both courses were approved and
became official NATO accredited
courses open also to personnel from
other NATO headquarters/ agencies.
Since then, approximately 270 NATO
International Civilians (NICs) from
other NATO agencies throughout
Europe are sent to Geilenkirchen per
year. The NICs include high ranking
NATO staff such as ambassadors
and NATO legal advisors.
Along with the revision in 2008,
the initial training area was extended

to double size of the initial area.
Toilet and hygiene facilities of good
standard arrived and improved
the “Tent City” facility standard
tremendously. Additional, storage
facilities were procured in order
to be able to store all required
training equipment in a proper
way. The construction of the main
training building (bldg. 311) with
one major briefing room and four
small classrooms was finished in
2010. As of this time all theoretical
classes are given in the new building,
not in tents anymore. This was
another significant milestone in the
improvement of the training.
When it started, the IDT course
lasted three days including one
overnight stay and IDT currency
was three years. Maximum number
of attendees was 35 personnel.
Nowadays up to 60 attendees can be
hosted; IDT lasts four days and makes
personnel current for four years.
Topics to be covered are: First
Aid, Fire Fighting, CBRN Defence,
Weapons and live firing training,
Post-Attack Reconnaissance,
Improvised Explosive Device (IED)
and Mine Awareness. On top
additional deployment related topics
are provided. All topics are covered
by classroom lessons and hands-on
training. In order to achieve a higher
skill level, attendees are also exposed
to scenarios that simulate real world
emergencies. During these scenarios
attendees have to deal and cope with
different situations in a group frame.
All knowledge and skills needed were
trained during the lessons before.
During some IDTs also instructors
sometimes faced real world
emergencies they had to cope with.
Attendees with minor injuries like
bruises, sprains, and cuts, but also
critical things like dehydration,
circulation collapses and serious
neurological problems were to be
treated, so that the Medical Branch
Ambulance had to come out a couple
of times.
When it comes to the development
and improvement of the course there
has never been a stop. Instructors
from Force Protection Training
Section (BSF), Medical Training Office
and Fire Department have steadily
been working on the improvement
of the lessons, training equipment
and facilities. Training contents are
continuously updated to be able
to provide latest information and
developments to the attendees.
Especially when the Component joint
ISAF operations in 2010, training
topics were significantly adjusted to
the needs of personnel deploying
to Afghanistan. One considerable
milestone here amongst others was
the implementation of a completely
revised shooting training concept.
Never before Component members
deployed to a kind of “austere” base
for extended times and had to carry
their weapons 24/7.
Over the last nine years, more than
50 Force Protection, Medical Branch
and Fire Department instructors
plus additional supporters from
various Component agencies (like
IMP trainers, dog handlers from
Civil Guard and doctors from
Component’s Medical Branch)
trained 3,727 personnel during
IDT. Most of the attendees were
Component personnel, but some
were also from other NATO
headquarters/agencies. From the
beginning of ICCS in 1999 until today
about 17,000 personnel were trained
in total.

Hose down for three Greeks from Squadron 3
March 16, 2014, was a very important day for Lt. Col. Georgios Anninos,
Maj. Charisopoulos Zisis and Capt. Platis Crigorios.
The tour of duty at the E-3A Component came to an end for the three Greeks
from Squadron 3. They received the traditional “hose down” at NATO Air Base
Geilenkirchen, Germany, following a long operational flight.
Maj. Gen. Andrew M. Mueller, Component commander, Lt. Col. Daniel Held,
Sq. 3 commander, and Lt. Col. Stig Krone, Sq. 3 mission crew chief,
congratulated the “three amigos” for completing their last flight.

After that, base leadership and other invited guest joined personnel from the
Greek National Support Unit for a barbeque dinner.
AFSA hosts ‘Happiest 5k on the Planet’ at GK
The Chapter 1678 of the Air Force
Sergeants Association (AFSA) hosted
a color run to raise money for their
scholarship program April 11, 2014,
at NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen.
“The Color Run, also known as the
‘Happiest 5k on the Planet,’ is a unique
paint race that celebrates healthiness,
happiness and individuality,” said
Master Sgt. Kurt Nemecek, AFSA
Chapter 1678 president. “The event
only had two, easy-to-follow rules:
wear white at the starting line and
finish plastered in color!”
The event was open to all NATO/
US ID Card holders located in the
Tri-Border Area.
So, with an estimated 225 runners
participating, AFSA was able to raise
more than 835 Euros.

Local medical
providers get firsthand look at E-3A
Component
Eleven medical providers from the
local area came to NATO Air Base
Geilenkirchen, Germany, to tour the
E-3A Component on April 4, 2014.
The visit was part of an appreciation
luncheon hosted by the U.S. Clinic.
“We wanted to show our gratitude
for all the work they do to support
our patient population,” said Capt.
Travis Wittick. “Due to the distance to
Landstuhl, 95 percent of patients are
referred to the local area for specialty
care. We rely on them heavily; last
year alone, they saw about 2,200
visits in support of our patients.”

Spanish Night with the International Women’s Club
By Rebecca Hendrickx
April 8, 2014, was another
wonderful night at the International
Women’s Club. With yet another
great turnout, the Spanish Ladies
got us into the football (soccer for
our U.S. friends) spirit, ready for the
2014 FIFA World Cup! As the current
champions, the rooms of the E-3A
club were decorated with footballs,
mini championship cups, goals and
so much more.
Welcomed at the door, each guest
received a complimentary bookmark
and a glass of delicious sangria with
enough for the ladies to go back for
a few more. Our Spanish hostesses
were dressed in their Spanish football
kits with members and guests
likewise encouraged to dress showing
support for their favorite teams.
After the traditional standing for the
national anthem it was then on to
the wave. From one side of the room
to the other and back again, we stood
up and did the wave, a clear sign that
this was going to be a night of fun
and plenty laughter.
For dinner we were treated to
traditional paella with chicken,
salad, bread, cheese and olives. The
food perfectly showcased why we
love Spanish food and with a large
variety of desserts, no one left feeling
hungry or unsatisfied. There was
something for everyone.
In between our main course and
dessert, a few volunteers had the
chance to play football with a twist;
chair football. Anyone was allowed
to kick the football so long as they
were touching the chair. Once the
first goal was scored the teams were
tasked with choosing a player to be
blindfolded who then had to score a
goal with their teammates directing
them towards the goal.
The overall winning team awarded
mini World Cup trophies. There were
plenty of chances for those who did
not play to win prizes with through
the raffle draw. With a bunch of
prizes to be won, shouts and loud
applause were heard from the tables
of the ladies with the winning tickets.
A very well done to the Spanish
ladies for putting together a
thoroughly enjoyable night! We look
forward to next year’s event.
May 22, 2014, will be our final
event of the season. For members

Night complete with raffle prizes
and much more. Doors open at 1800

club. Members, please join us in
bidding farewell to what has been an
amazing season.
We will be back for the 2014/2015
season starting September 11, 2014.
By a majority vote, the International
Women’s Club has changed names,
becoming The International Spouses

winner will receive a prize. For more
