MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Proceedings – Air Force Central/Great Lakes Airspace/Range Council Management Session
GENERAL – The Air Force Central/Great Lakes Airspace/Range Council (E-NE ARC) convened at Volk Field,
Combat Readiness and Training Center, WI at 1:30 PM, May 30, 2012.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS FOR MAY 30, 2012
A. Co-Chair Welcome – Colonel Brown (OH ANG), Mr. Chupein (HQ AF/A3O-BA) welcomed everyone to
the management session of the Airspace/Range Council and requested that everyone introduce themselves and for
the military representatives to provide a brief discription of their unit’s mission and airpsace utilized. He suggested
that the meeting is an opprotunity to develop cross talk.
B. National Overview - Brig Gen Harris (Airspace/Range Council National Co-Chair) Thanked everyone for
coming to the meeting. He began by presenting a brief history of the late 80s and 90s due to contention between
land managers and airspace users and the development of the Air National Guard Regional Councils.
1. Proposed legislation would have shifted airspace management from the FAA to land managers below
Special Use Airspace (SUA).
2. Final Legislation directed the formation of committees to resolve airspace issues at the lowest level.
3. The Regional Councils meet every year with a regional focus instead of state only approaches.
 The ARCs were successful in resolving conflicts.
 The ARCs provides training requirements to the land managers.
 Other stakeholders are able to inform the DoD members of their mission and requirements.
 The major purpose of the ARCs are to establish relationships.
4. National Issues
 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations - The FAA is responsible for integrating UAS. Many
agencies want to use these vehicles.
 Encroachment on training both physical and frequency spectrum. The Navy’s Boardman Range has
extensive encroachment issues centering around wind farm development.
 FAA’s NEXTGEN will have a very positive effect on National Airspace utilization.
 Increased Commercial Aviation is putting pressure on training airspace.
 Defense Budget will impact training.

such as Springfield, OH.
3. Mission: Tactical, Persistent Intelligence and weapons delivery (two Hellfire missiles)
Central-Great Lakes Region Airspace/Range Council — May 30-31, 2012
4
 More personnel involved with mission that tactical fighter operations.
 Weather can shut down operations
4. Crew swaps every three to four hours during an 18 to 25 hour mission.
5. MQ-9 Reaper is a larger RPA only visually similar to the Predator capably of operating a higher altitudes,
faster cruise speeds and increased weapons carriage capability.
6. MC-12 W – Liberty Hawker Beechcraft Super King Air 350ER
 Mission: Provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) support directly to ground forces.
 Joint Forces Air Component Commander asset in support of the Joint Force Commander.
 The MC-12W is a complete collection, processing, analysis and dissemination system.
E. Warfighter Briefing – Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC)– Illinois ANG CMS Trislla and SMSgt
Gillis.
1. Illinois ANG JTAC deployed in 2011 to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan
2. Combat Operations – typical environment had friendly and enemy forces separated on average by 280
meters.
 Radio Communication has evolved with more and more users on the radio simultaneously.
 Missions vary from 12 hours to three weeks
 Work with a four man team from a Platoon of 40 men and a Company with 200 men.
 Flexibility is the key to JTAC operations with many changes from day to day.
 Coordination with the ground command or delegated authority is critical
 JTACs submit operations reports that include lessons learned and immediate fixes are incorporated into
current operations and captured from future training.
 JTACs communicate with pilots and discuss how to improve operations.
3. Training – Lessons Learned are brought back to improve local training.
 Local Training at Hardwood and Graying Ranges.
 Ranges are flexible with the ability to do dry CAS in the MOAs is important
 Having multiple flights with more than two aircraft on the range at the same time is critical to allow the
JTACs to learn how to deconflict the airspace.
 Being able to have Air Refueling available to support YO-YO operations (Range to Tanker to Range)
is very important.
 Larger training scenarios with more aircraft create a much better training environment for JTACs
 JTACs never get enough joint training with artillery and fighter operations
 Even a small scale artillery operation with two 60 mm motor tubes hitting the target with airborne
assets in the area hitting the same target is of great value.
 There is an effort to synchronize schedules for better joint
4. Training Airspace
 MOA CAS is now approved by the Air Force allows more real world targets to provide a more
complex environment for the JTACs.
 FAA Centers need to know what type of training will be taking place in the airspace.
 Sometimes training is even better in Temporary MOAs where pilots are unfamiliar with the
surroundings and must depend on JTAC information exchange.

C. NavCanada Redesign Update – Major Trumble (Grayling Range)
1. History - Windsor – Toronto – Montreal (WTM) Redesign
 Air traffic from the west into and out of Windsor, Toronto, and Montreal are blocked by the Alpena
CRTC airspace and to a lesser extent the Volk Field airspace.
 Michigan SUA forces a major deviation north of the airspace
 Traffic from the Northwest to and from the Boston and New York area were also force through the
narrow path south of the Steelhead MOA
 Chicago to Toronto traffic was also force to go south of Steelhead MOA.
 Toronto created new departures over the Steelhead MOA
 Impacts to Alpena airspace complex
 Ohio ANG at Toledo was the primary user of the airspace
 Existing airspace was had limitations that reduced the ceiling in the Steelhead ATCAAs
 There was an opportunity to fix problems with the capping of the Gauntlet ATCAA between the
Steelhead and Pike ATCAAs..
2. Agreement – Alpena WTM Redesign
 Required a change in the center boundaries between Minneapolis and Cleveland Centers
 Toledo had to accept the trade off in the south with a CAP at FL 250.
 Northern airspace increased, 145 NM up to FL 350 with an option to use the airspace up to FL 500 in
the north.
 The Gauntlet gap has been eliminated.
 The northern airspace opened additional airspace for Duluth ANG.
 The new airspace is subdivided into three segments that can be scheduled separately offering more
flexibility.
3. International Agreement and must be accepted by both governments.
 The FAA will be creating routes this fall that will be ready for beginning of next year’s thunderstorm
season in March 2013.
 NavCanada has a major complete airspace redesign and there is a possibility of a delay.
D. FAA Topics of Interest: SUA Development/Activation – Mr. Sullivan (Minneapolis Center ZMP)
1. ZMP SUAs
 SUA for Minot, Ellsworth and Grand Forks Air Force Bases
 SUA for Fargo ND ANG, Duluth MN ANG, Sioux Falls SD ANG, Des Moines IA ANG, Madison WI
ANG (Volk Field CRTC airspace), and the Toledo OH ANG and Selfridge MI ANG that use the Alpena
CRTC airspace)
2. Alpena Airspace Redesign
 Provide more contiguous fighter airspace without the Gauntlet corridor
 Eliminate bottleneck at Peck VORTAC
 Allow Toronto arrivals to stay higher longer
 Allow for two severe weather transcontinental “Can Routes” through northern Michigan.
3. Temporary Airspace
 Volk CRTC - Northern Lightning – Lightning Temporary Airspace including Air Refueling Areas
extends 210 NM by 50 NMs.
 Duluth ANG – Northern Sentry – Ironwood and Sentry Temporary Airspace extends the MOA airspace
to 200 NM by 80 NMs and the ATCAA airspace to 250 NM by 110 NM.
Central-Great Lakes Region Airspace/Range Council — May 30-31, 2012
10
4. Duluth ANG – Bulldog ALTRV
 Airspace 20 NM Radius for Duluth between 12,000 and 16,000 MSL
5. HAWKI Temporary MOA request would create a 95 NM by 75 NM airspace
6. Grand Forks Restricted Areas
 Three horizontal boundaries with three altitude blocks in the two of the restricted areas
7. Powder River MOAs proposal is a large increase in training airspace
8. Bad Lands ATCAA doubles the size of the existing Sioux ATCAA to the west.
9. Customs and Border Protection has several new operating areas within ZMP
10. “Joint-Use Policy” FAA 7400.2 21-1-8
 SUA is released to controlling agency for use by nonparticipants when not needed by using agency.
 Restricted Areas, MOAs, and Warning Areas must be designated as joint use unless justified
(detrimental to mission or impractical)
 Implies that non-participants be informed of when the airspace will be in use.
11. Times of Use FAA 7400.2 21-2-4
 Should reflect the times when normal ops are expected to occur.
 Should be the minimum period needed to capture the majority of day to day activities.
 No NOTAM is issued during charted times of Use. Pilots that search for NOTAMs or contact Flight
Service are not briefed on SUA active times that are within published hours.
 Any perceived increase in flexibility gained by having expanded core hours is countered by a decrease
in safety due to no NOTAM being issued.
 Temporary MOA airspaces are not charted, therefore safety demands that a NOTAM be issued.

E. FAA National Special Activity Airspace Project (NSAAP) – Mr. Perkins (HQ FAA)
1. Joint Effort
 Civil Aviation – All Commercial Carriers, NBAA, AOPA and other.
 The Dept of Defense – DoD’s Policy Board for Federal Aviation (PBFA)
 The FAA – All ATO Lines of Business, Air Traffic Safety Action Program and NATCA.
2. NSAAP GOAL - The goal is to bring real-time Special Activity Airspace (SAA) status to all aviation
stakeholders for more efficient use of the National Airspace System (NAS)
 Provide a Real Time Exchange of SAA Status
 Air Navigation Service Provider, DoD, Airline Operations, and Civil Aviation
 Establish a robust SAA metric and analysis system
3. Special Activity Airspace is all segmented airspace including Special Use Airspace.
Central-Great Lakes Region Airspace/Range Council — May 30-31, 2012
11
4. Why NSAAP?
 Every penny per gallon increase in fuel per year, translates to $175 MILLION in additional operating
expenses and $17.5 Billion For every dollar per gallon fuel increase per year (based upon 2010 fuel data)
 President Obama - DOD to cut $487 billion dollars from the defense budget over the next 10 years.”
5. Not Having Accurate Real-Time SAA Data
 Canceled flights, delayed flights, scrubbed training missions
 Increased operating and/or training costs for all NAS users
 Operational deviations/errors as a result of incorrect SAA data
 Failure to conduct strategic/real-time tactical NAS planning
 Unnecessary restrictions on DOD and Civil Aviation flights circumnavigating “cold” airspace, etc
6. Benefits
 Improved flight planning/scheduling for DOD and Civil Aviation
 Simplifies processing of SAA schedules and status
 Reduces the chances of miscommunication and human error
 Ability to take advantage of shorter routes
 Load and burn less fuel (When able - DOD to advise when SAA will not be recalled)
 Reduced time on the engines and airframe
 Reduced carbon emissions
7. Milestones
 Sept 20, 2010 - Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
 June, 2011 - Functional Requirements Document (FRD)
 Jan 31, 2012 – USAF Central Scheduling Enterprise. Completed initial interface testing with
SAMS/MADE at Cannon AFB, ZAB, and ZFW.
 Feb 2012 - Preliminary study begun on interfacing RFMSS into SAMS/MADE
 July 31, 2012 - NSAAP Benefits Analysis Due
 Sept 2015 – Initial training on NSAAP for field facilities
 December 2015 - IOC
 December 2016 - FOC
8. NSAAP: A PROJECT OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE
 Affects every NAS operator
 Touches all branches of DoD
 Involves most of FAA’s Air Traffic Organization
 Involves DHS, NASA, and many other government agencies
 Affects every member of the flying public
 Offers an opportunity to save Millions of $ during times of shrinking budgets and increasing fuel costs
F. FAA – Connecting the Software: CSE, RFMSS, and SAMS/MADE Update – Mr. Jim Perkins (FAA

4. RFMSS
 Interface in development between CSE & RFMSS for schedule coordination at Joint Use Ranges.
 Once connectivity is in place RFMSS will work with CSE on “pass through” of schedule
information to SAMS.
 Initial work with the RFMSS program office on integration to MADE/SAMS.
 RFMSS Interface Request documentation is currently in development.
5. Outstanding issues
 At this time CSE does not transmit Military Training Routes (MTR) schedules
 Some controlling agencies have requested the inclusion of:
 Call Signs
 Aircraft type
 Mission type
 The SAMS – CSE interface does not allow for transmission of schedules for airspace complexes or
groups
 The current interface does not include the large CSE site; Eglin AFB, Nellis Test and Training Range
(NTTR) and Edwards AFB
6. New Adaptations – Effective May 2012
 Inclusion of Military Training Routes (MTR) in the CSE interface traffic
 Inclusion of; Call sign, Aircraft type, and Mission type in the CSE transmission.
 Adding a column to the end of the gird for “Schedule ID” in current and historical reports.
 Increasing the number of airspaces that can be added when creating a custom report.
 Adding an “Acknowledge All” button to SAMS to make it more user friendly.

G. Strategic Overview Central Great Lakes ARC - Mr. Jim Wilson
1. New Military Strategy - By Area of the World (5 Jan 2012)
 Driven by:
 ending a decade of war
 technological/geopolitical landscape
 National Security Imperative “…of deficit Reduction through a lower level of defense spending.”
 Resulting in:
 Joint Force – smaller, leaner, agile, flexible, ready, innovative, technologically advanced
 Sacrificing force structure for readiness
 US economic and security interests are inextricably linked…
 Expand networks of cooperation with emerging partners
 “promote rules-based international order”
 Western Pacific & East Asia into Indian Ocean and South Asia
 Rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region
 Asia (India long term partner, China bilateral relationship)

 “long term strategic partnership with India…”
 Middle East (premium on US & allied presence)
 Europe (a principal partner)
 Latin American and Africa: 3 Sentences (low-cost and small footprint approaches)
 Cyber “strengthen international norms of responsible behavior”
Ten Primary Missions:
 Counter Terrorism and Irregular Warfare: build and sustain tailored capabilities
 Deter and Defeat Aggression: deter and defeat in one region even w/ forces in other large-scale ops
 Project Power Despite Anti-Access/Area Denial Challenges: sustain undersea, new stealth bomber,
improve missile def., enhance space based capes
 Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction: whole of government / invest to detect, protect against,
respond to WMD
 Operate Effectively in Cyberspace and Space: invest to defend networks/operational capabilities and
resiliency in cyberspace & space
 Maintain a Safe, Secure, and Effective Nuclear Deterrent: reduce # of nuclear weapons & role in
US national security strategy
 Defend the Homeland and Provide Support to Civil Authorities: defend US territory from direct
attack – come to the assistance of domestic civil auth.
 Provide a Stabilizing Presence: sustainable pace of presence ops – build capacity & competence US,
alliance and partner forces – however with reduced resources thoughtful choices will need to be made
regarding the location and frequency of these operations
 Conduct Stability and Counterinsurgency Ops: ready to conduct limited counterinsurgency ops &
other stability ops w/ coalition wherever possible – However, US forces will no longer be sized to conduct
large-scale, prolonged stability ops
 Conduct Humanitarian, Disaster Relief, and Other Operations: …possess invaluable capabilities in
supporting lead relief agencies
2020: Eight Principles
 regenerate to meet unforeseen demands
 ”reversibility… is a key part of our decision calculus”
 Maintain & rebuild readiness
 Decrease overhead, decrease compensation and health care
 Increase globally networked warfare
 Active Component vs. Reserve Component mix based on increase networked joint warfare
 Increase innovation in industrial base
Air Force Approach
 Balancing risk by making difficult choices was the guiding principle
 Avoiding a hollow force by protecting readiness, accepting a smaller, high quality force
 Focused investments on key modernization programs while continuing to make more disciplined use of
defense dollars
 Continue to emphasize taking care of our people
FY13 Air Force Budget Themes
 Force Structure … preservation of a highly responsive and scalable force
 Rebalances force structure through retirements/reductions to maximize capability in support of new
strategy
 Preserve Readiness … avoid hollowing out the force
 Sustains flying hours and maintains weapon system sustainment
 Modernization … next generation, technologically superior systems
 Continues core modernization efforts to operate in highly contested environments and prevail in all
domains
 Enhances/upgrades nuclear and global integrated ISR capabilities

I. North Dakota Aeronautics Commission – Mr. Larry Taborsky mentioned that this was a good
discussion about our airspace. We believe that we are getting the right size of airspace for the mission and we have
taken the concerns of the GA pilots. I will be taking the message back to the GA community. From the State side
the Governor supports the ANG mission.
J. Wrap Up/Adjourn – Colonel Brown began that wrap up by stating that we want to have specific issues that
we can work on to improve. General Harris requested that attendees let the council co-chairs know important
issues to have them included in the agenda for next year.
