Spiritual Minded Military Vermont Air National Guard: What Roles Did the F-35 Lightning II Play in US Military Missions—The Airpower Protocol

 

THE FIGHTER JET CHANGING MODERN WARFARE

The Fighter Jet Revolutionizes War.

The F-35 Lightning II is NOT a fighter aircraft. The F-35 is an aircraft that has a computer inside it. It sees everything. It shares everything. It strikes anything.

The F-35 is used by the 158th Fighter Wing at Burlington Air National Guard Base. The most modern fighter in the history of Vermont airmen. They exercise in freezing conditions. They deploy to the battlefields. They return. They train again.

The F-35 isn't without its flaws. It has shortfalls. It has delays. It has critics. There is no other like it, either.

Each airman who touches the F-35 is a part of something greater. Not just a pilot. Not only a maintainer. A computer connected to a network that extends around the world.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." — Philippians 4:13

WHY THE F-35 LIGHTNING II MATTERS TO THE U.S. MILITARY

It was easy to fight in the air using the old method. Fighter versus fighter. Missile versus missile. The pilot with the better performance won.

The new way is not like the old way. The F-35 doesn't have to have an enemy in sight. The F-35 doesn't have to face the enemy. The F-35 gathers information from the various sensors on the battlefield. It combines all that information into a single image. It shares that picture with all friendly aircraft, ships, and units on the ground.

An F-35 over Vermont can help an F-16 over Texas. A C-130 over the Atlantic can be protected by an F-35 over Burlington.

This operation is the mission the 158th Fighter Wing is trained for daily. Pilots do data-sharing practice. The maintainers do rapid turnarounds. They go through turns of integrated combat with the support person.

The F-35 has become a matter of life and death because the battlefield is no longer a line. The battlefield is all around us. The F-35 is all over!

THE F-35'S FIRST MISSION: OWNING THE SKY

Air supremacy isn't a slogan. Winner or loser, it's all about air superiority.

The F-35 is the first to fly before any other mission. It is used to identify enemy fighters before they identify friendly aircraft. It gets their attention from a distance they can't reach. It takes them out before they can cause problems.

The F-35 does it stealthily. If the enemy radar sees nothing, then the enemy is out of sight. No sound comes to the enemy's ears. The enemy dies.

The 158th Fighter Wing is not a fighter wing based in Vermont. The 158th is training for combat missions in Vermont. The airmen that keep the F-35 in the air in Burlington allow the pilots to fly the skies of a contested area.

Every bolt tightened. Every sensor is calibrated. All software updates that are installed. The mission begins in Vermont on the ground. The mission ends with air superiority over the battlefield.

Beware that you may be tempted to be "sober-minded" and "watchful," because "devils are prowling like a roaring lion.

"Be sober-minded; be watchful." — 1 Peter 5:8

HOW THE F-35 STRIKES TARGETS WITHOUT BEING SEEN

Stealth is not invisibility. Stealth is the act of delaying the detection of an individual.

The enemy will be faced with the F-35 eventually. They are able to see it by the time the bombs have dropped.

Precision munitions are stored inside the F-35's weapons bays. The aircraft is maintained in stealth mode in the bays. The doors open. The bombs fall. The doors close. The F-35 disappears.

Pilots at the 158th Fighter Wing are trained to strike them with this weaponry. The maintainers load the bombs. The sensor operators follow the sensors. The communication specialists make sure that the data flows.

A strike mission is not a one-man effort. The strike mission is like a symphony. The F-35 is the conductor!

THE FLYING SENSOR: GATHERING INTELLIGENCE IN REAL TIME

The F-35 has more sensors than any fighter in history. Radar. Infrared. Electronic warfare. Communications. The sensors are not intended to operate individually. They work together.

With the Distributed Aperture System, the pilot has 360-degree vision. The pilot is able to peer through the floor of the aircraft. The pilot is able to monitor the approach of a missile from below. The pilot is able to view a target behind a mountain.

There is no storage of sensor data in the F-35. The data is transmitted to other aircraft. The data is transmitted to ships. Information is disseminated to the frontline troops. All see what the F-35 sees.

The 158th Fighter Wing trains pilots to deal with this data. Not just to fly. To collect. To process. To share.

The intelligence mission is not an individual mission from the strike mission. Strike mission is the intelligence.

HOW THE F-35 PROTECTS OTHER AIRCRAFT IN COMBAT

The F-35 is not a solo fighter. The F-35 is a quarterback. It calls the plays. It gives instructions to the other players.

The F-35 can sense an enemy missile strike from 100 miles. It can inform a nearby C-130 to divert. It is able to command an F-16 to engage the threat. It can give a ship directions to prepare for fire.

Integrated combat turns are a key element of the 158th Fighter Wing's training. The F-35 lands. Ground crew refuels and re-arms in minutes. The F-35 takes off once again. The cycle repeats.

The protect mission isn't easy-going. The protection mission is a must. The F-35 keeps other aircraft alive.

THE VERMONT AIR NATIONAL GUARD AND THE F-35 MISSION

In 2019, the 158th Fighter Wing was the first to receive an F-35. It took years to train up from the F-16 to the F-35. The pilots retrained. The maintainers requalified. The support personnel adapted.

Vermont Airmen are now operating the most advanced fighter in the history of the world in one of the coldest climates in the continental U.S.

Winter sucks. The wind is never-ending. The planes are still in the air. The mission continues to launch.

The 158th Fighter Wing has deployed F-35s to Europe and the Middle East. The aircraft have supported combat operations. The airmen have returned with experience. The unit has proven that the Green Mountain Boys can fight anywhere.

The Vermont Air National Guard is not a backwater unit. The Vermont Air National Guard is a frontline combat unit.

THE AIRPOWER PROTOCOL: STEALTH, SPEED, AND INFORMATION

• Stealth: The enemy cannot shoot what they cannot see. The F-35 disappears from radar. The pilot focuses on the mission, not on avoiding detection.
• Speed: The F-35 cruises at supersonic speed without afterburners. The aircraft covers more ground. The pilot spends less time in transit. The mission completes faster.
• Information: The F-35 shares data with every friendly unit. The pilot sees the battlefield. The commander sees the battlefield. The ground troops see the battlefield. Everyone fights from the same picture.

The Airpower Protocol applies to airmen, not just aircraft.

Stealth means staying off the enemy's radar. Avoid the things that compromise your readiness. Avoid the alcohol. Avoid the late nights. Avoid the toxic people.

Speed means moving with purpose. Do not waste time on distractions. Do not let fear slow you down. Do not let comfort become your master.

Information means staying connected. Your wingman needs to know your status. Your family needs to know your needs. Your commander needs to know your readiness.

"Be sober-minded; be watchful." — 1 Peter 5:8

CONCLUSION

The F-35 Lightning II is not perfect. The aircraft has shortfalls. The software has bugs. The supply chain has gaps.

The F-35 is also unmatched. No other fighter can do what the F-35 does. No other aircraft can see, share, and strike with the same precision.

The 158th Fighter Wing at Burlington Air National Guard Base represents the future of American airpower. Not active duty. Not a major base. A guard unit in Vermont.

The Green Mountain Boys fly the same missions. They face the same threats. They deliver the same effects. They do it with less funding, fewer personnel, and less recognition.

The Airpower Protocol is not just for p-mans. The Airpower Protocol is for every airman who serves.

Stealth. Speed. Information. Stealth from the enemy's weapons. Speed toward the mission. Information shared with the team.

Cellular Hydrate for your body. Spiritual Anxiety Formula for your stress. Mushroom Coffee for your energy.

The F-35 is the future. You are the future. The Airpower Protocol is how you get there.

Stealth. Speed. Information. Fall in.

The Remnant does not transition. The Remnant re-enlists.
