A message to all from the 655 ISRG 28 IS First Sergeant: "During the summer months, we have a tendency to increase our physical outdoor activities with the warmer weather and school being out. With this increase, statistics throughout the Air force as well as the civiian sector point toward an in creased incidence of mishaps between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I encourage you to take extra precautions by planning ahead before embarking on your adventure. Take into account the higher temperatures, increased traffic and summer storms." - MSgt. Pella

Fellow Airmen: This week President Trump directed the Department of Defense to begin planning to establish a space forece as a new military service within the department. As the President said, "When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to have an American presence in space, we must have American domnance in space." The President's statement to the National Space Council adds emphasis to the Air Force position -- space is a warfighting domain and the entire national secuirty space enterprise must continue to enhance lethality, resilience, and agility to meet the challenge posed by potential adversaries. We look forward to working with the Department of Defense leaders, Congress, and our national security partners to move forward on this planning effort. This work directed by the President will be a thorough, deliberate, and inclusive process. As such, we should not expect any immediate moves or changes. Our focus must remain on the mission as we contine to accelerate the space warfighting capabilities required to support the National Defense Strategy. We remain the best in the world in space and our adversaries know it. Thank you for standing the watch. We're proud to serve with you! Heather Wilson, SECAF Gen. David L. Goldfein, CSAF Kaleth O. Wright, CMSAF

On June 14, 1775, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Army was established and has played a vital role as our Nation's Guardians of Freedom. From it's humble beginnings as an amateur force of colonial troops, to its status today as the largest branch in the U.S. military, the U.S. Army has served with extraordinary Soldiers, civilians and families who are committed to selfless service. Today, we celebrate the competence, character and professionalism of these Soldiers. Happy Birthday Army!

The 655th ISRG would like to welcome Maj. Allen to the Group as the new IGI. Maj. Allen moves up to the group level in a trade with the 71that sent the incumbent IGI, Lt. Lovelady, to fill Allen's spot as ADO. The 71st also welcomes Maj. Miller to the team. Ok, so it wasn't actually a "trade," but I like to use sports terms 😁

"Integrating cyber operations and intelligence in cyber capabilities under one command is a significant step towards enhancing our warfighting capabilities to conduct multi-domain operations." http://www.afrc.af.mil/News/Article/1544072/air-force-transfers-cyber-responsibility-to-acc/
