Multitasker Launches Nano Multi-Tool

January 19th, 2021

Multitasker®, specialty makers of weaponcentric multitools, is proud to announce the latest addition to its product line: the patent pending NANO®, a small 1-pc tool intended for carbine optics adjustments. Barely larger than a soda can flip tab, the NANO combines practical utility with a tiny footprint to handle mission critical tasks that most full size multitools cannot.

Featuring a dedicated Aimpoint® T1/T2 turret adjuster on one end and a slotted screwdriver with radiused edges on the other, the NANO is compatible with a wide array of issued carbine optics, including the Aimpoint M68 CCO, Trijicon ACOG, Eotech EXPS-3 as well as the Trijicon RMR and aiming lasers such as the PEQ-15 and MAWL from B.E. Meyers & Co.

Despite its minuscule size, the NANO offers multiple secure carry options. The built-in lanyard hole can be used with a keychain and is compatible with 550 paracord. The winglets on each side of the NANO act as a dovetail, allowing it to dock into the SpaceFrame™ storage slot found in the upcoming Gen3 MagPod®. The raised disc featuring directional markings for the Aimpoint T1/T2 doubles as an index point for docking/undocking the NANO from the Gen3 MagPod.

“The NANO is a staple in my firing line equipment. We all have dropped and either temporarily or permanently lost a windage/elevation cap from an Aimpoint optic. The NANO can be attached several ways to ensure it is always with you when you need it. The adjustment direction indicator with corresponding arrow is a handy reminder on the range. I have had an early preproduction version on my keyring, and another one on my range timer lanyard and they are constantly getting used. I am always prepared with the NANO.”
– Matt Jacques, Victory First LLC

Air Force Establishes Significant Evolution in Foreign Area Officer Career Field

January 19th, 2021

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) —

The Department of the Air Force announced Jan. 15, the opportunity for U.S. Air Force officers to voluntarily transfer into an internationally-focused core career field beginning spring 2021.

Since 2005, the Foreign Area Officer program has organized and trained select Air Force officers to be language-enabled, culturally astute, and operationally relevant regional experts.

More than 800 officers are currently certified as FAOs, filling a critical role in providing essential support to the National Defense Strategy by engaging foreign military leaders and government officials to build partner capability and capacity.

The restructuring of the FAO program is part of the Air Force’s broader reorientation toward great power competition. The recommendation that emerged from an Air Force cross-functional team’s year-long study was to establish the FAO career field as a strategic core career field while retaining operational relevance.

Until now, the Air Force FAO program operated as a secondary career field, alternating assignments between FAO and the officer’s core Air Force specialty code, or AFSC. This presented a key challenge in managing FAOs as strategic assets.

“Focusing FAO development on International Airmen skills and experiences, rather than challenging officers to hit milestones in two career fields, is more important than ever to increase awareness in our current strategic context with both our allies and partners and in the joint community,” said Kelli Seybolt, deputy under secretary of the Air Force, international affairs.

This strategic core career field will now be a Secretary of the Air Force International Affairs-managed AFSC, 16F or 16Z, to better cultivate professional development with a strategic international perspective. Within this new core AFSC, FAOs will be poised for more efficient utilization to meet Air Force strategic needs and will compete for promotion advancement within a single developmental category of professional FAO peers.

Continued operational relevance will be achieved through “FAO-minded” Intervening Operational Tours in each FAO’s original AFSC that sustains the various operational skillsets of each specialty and enhances Air Force strategic international engagement interests within those fields. It presents an increased return on FAO investment to provide deepened regional expertise and requires less in terms of training, sustainment, and manpower to support FAO development. Restructure of the FAO program, and increased primary emphasis in FAO development, will reduce the required inventory for FAOs from other AFSCs by approximately 30%.

“The United States Air Force FAO career field has been improving tremendously over the past decade,” stated Col. Lawrence E. Pravecek, FAO career field manager. “With the changes in the officer promotion system, now is the perfect time to take the next step in managing the development of our international experts. The choice to request transfer into the FAO Core AFSC will be a personal decision. All of us volunteered to serve, and now we ask for volunteers to help build a new AFSC that is tailor-made to provide the internationally-minded officers that our nation needs.”

For those already certified as FAOs or in the FAO training pipeline, applications for transfer to 16F or 16Z as their new core AFSC will begin early 2021. At that time, all eligible personnel will receive a direct email from the Air Force Personnel Center announcing the opening of the application window and providing directions to submit their applications online. FAOs who do not volunteer to transfer will remain in their current AFSC, while maintaining 16F as a secondary AFSC.

Air Force Reserve Component members will be notified by the AF Reserve or Air National Guard regarding ARC-specific processes. For questions/feedback, send email to the FAO Program Workflow Box at SAF.IAPA.IAS.Program.Workflow@us.af.mil.
