124th Fighter Wing Public Affairs 4474 S. DeHavilland Street
Gowen Field Boise, ID 83709
Nomination Background Air National Guard Media Contest 2014
Category -08 Outstanding Digital Presence Category type: Unit
DOD-Level Category: Thomas Jefferson Awards Broadcast Category
G
By converging our current potential media channels, 124FW/PA is
building a synergistic force multiplier for our commander. It
increases his/her offensive and defensive arsenal of strategic
communication. The leadership of the 124th Fighter Wing believes in
fostering dialogue between commanders and their full-time and
drill-status guardsmen. The communications loop from wing commander
to line warfighter continues to tighten as we add layers of
communication that complement (and not compete with) each
other.
The 124th Fighter Wing communications program must reach a
300-strong full-time workforce living primarily in or near the Gem
States capital city and a 1000-member traditional guardsmen
membership scattered this western state. Communities supporting
Idaho Guardsman overlap and spoke outward from the nexus of Gowen
Field, Boise Air Terminal. Social media must also overlap and spoke
outward to connect the majority of this unique audience of
participating members, their families, supporters, elected
officials, contractors, neighbors, and affected stakeholders.
Redundancy is not a wasted effort. Our various audiences dont seek
information and dialogue through a universal communication channel.
Our growing social media infrastructure is growing and learning and
will continue to change with the needs of our membership. Our
official newsletter resides on DVIDS
http://www.dvidshub.net/publication/384/thebeacon?sms_ss=blogger&at_xt#.UtIi4GRDvKI
Our readership learns of each new issue through notification via
monthly professional email campaign, Wing Facebook 124th Fighter

http://twitter.com/124FighterWing, our Instagram posts
http://www.instagram.com/124fighterwing and through our members
only blog The Beacon Online http://bit.ly/124Beacon. Our Twitter
stream is prominently displayed on the home page; approximately
half of our Twitter followers are news media outlets who follow our
links back to released material from the 124th Fighter Wing. All of
these social media tools allow for expanded of coverage of topics
that vary in interest to the various demographics represented in
Idaho Air National Guard membership. We have permanent secure
widgets of our flickr http://flic.kr/ps/2tB3kf Twitter, and
Facebook presence that reach our largest web audiencevisitors to
our official web page: http://www.idaho.ang.af.mil.
Recently we used a SlideShare widget (on our home page) to
increase the ease of access to an publically released environmental

The Clear
Choice for the
F-35A
GOWEN FIELD
BOISE, ID
Gowen Field has been a national treasure
that will continue to play a critical role in
the future of the Air National Guard and
the U.S. Air Force. Idaho is the clear
choice among competitors in the F-35A
basing decision. The 124th Fighter Wing
is standing at the ready to host the most
advanced tactical fighter ever produced.
Effective utilization of our reserve
components is critical if we want to
get the best defense of our nation,
particularly if resources are scarce. -Deborah Lee James,
23rd Secretary of the Air Force
If we can be a more cost-efficient
force while remaining an
operationally effective force, we
ought to go there.
-Gen Mark A. Welsh III
Chief of Staff of the Air Force There is no time where the value
of the
Citizen Airman has been more apparent.
The BEST choice for the F-35A is
Gowen Field!

DRAFTv5 CA0 9/9/14
The unique features of Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho, make it the
clear choice for the F-35A.
Over 44 acres of dedicated National Guard ramp space and two
parallel runways (10,000 and 9,750).
One of the best air combat training complexes in the U.S. with
over 10,000 sq miles available, 2 air-to-ground training ranges, 7
additional target complexes, over 450 targets, and over 80 threat
emitters, all within 50 nautical miles of Gowen Field.
Location promotes full spectrum joint integration with 4th
generation F-15Es at Mt. Home AFB, TACP support from the 124th Air
Support Operations Squadron, and Idaho Army National Guard AH-64
and UH-60 helicopters, both from Gowen Field.
The Idaho Air National Guard successfully recruits 101 percent
of the manpower force it needs to field over 1300 trained and
highly experienced personnel.
Gowen Field is one of three National Guard bases with an
aviation fuel pipeline direct from the distributor.
Unmatched community integration and support!
Gowen Field: The Clear Choice
for the F-35A
A GOOD VALUE FOR AMERICA Only in southern Idaho do the factors
of uncluttered airspace, dedicated manpower, modern military
avia-tion facilities, and deep community support result in maximum
combat effectiveness for future missions like the F-35. This duel
use field sits across from Boise Air-port. Boise leases the base to
the Idaho Air National Guard for just $1 per year. The return on
Americas in-vestment in military flying training is unmatched
either in depth or breadth.

Gowen Field is less than 50 NM from some of the best training
airspace in the U.S. today. In just a few minutes, military fighter
jets can reach the Mt. Home Range Complex (MHRC) combined with the
Saddle MOA/ATCAA allow for full spectrum Air-to-Air and
Air-to-Ground training and employ-ment in a contested environment
The close prox-imity of Mt. Home AFB will enable F-35A/F-15E
integration training on a daily basis. The synergistic effect of
this focused, 4th/5th-generation fighter integration is critical to
the readiness of our fighter fleet as the U.S. Air Force
transitions to the F-35A..
