 As we do as airmen, we bring attitude to the fight. It's one of our biggest weapons. Just the fact that they get out there and give it their all every single day in austere conditions in some cases is really important. It's important that they not only provide air power and deliver air power across this theater that's reliable that our joint partners rely on. It's also important that they defend the NATO alliance and they're a big part of that defense whether they're forward on the eastern flank right now or whether they're in their main operating bases. What I really see third air force right now is a way to bridge some of the things that the staff is working on across the staff, operations, plans, intelligence and making sure that the voice of the wing is heard within the staff so that they understand the realities of what our airmen are working with on the ground whether it's in Africa or Romania or the UK, wherever it is as well as understand the context and the higher headquarters thought process and be able to communicate that down to the wings, both the wing commanders and all the way down to the young stairmen. It's not lost on me that in many cases we're asking them to do really, really tough jobs and we're asking them to do it not often resourced to 100% or manned to 100%. The challenges that third air force is facing is really the same challenges that the command is facing and so as we look as the operational environment and the strategic environment for that matter has changed a great deal over the past year. From where we were a year ago with primarily Russia's invasion of Ukraine NATO looks different, our role in NATO looks different, how we support Ukraine and compete against a near peer adversary like Russia as well as learn from what's happening and be able to provide support is drastically different and so the challenge is how to plan for the long term of that and create sustainable ways to do that while maintaining the cohesion of the NATO alliance. That's not something we take lightly certainly here that that cohesion happens at grocers level with our airmen, whether that's training exercises whether that's interoperability or whether that's real world ops and so that's the challenge is to continue that. One of the challenges that is for the most part in the rear view mirror is the impact of COVID and I think that we're still feeling the impacts of that as we drew down a lot of those interactions, a lot of those exercises over the past couple of years getting those ramped back up is something that is really important and prioritizing that because at the end of the day there's only so many hours in the day and there's only so many resources and so much bandwidth for our wings to really invest our time and our money and our resources in areas that have big dividends. I'm happy to be in command at Third Air Force right now. A great mission, great theater, awesome group of airmen. Thanks for what they do every day. I thank their families as well because I know that it's tough to live overseas and in a lot of cases especially on the AFRICOM side these are deployed airmen from across our air force that are in austere locations away from their families and so to pass my thanks on to their families as well for every bit that they do, it's significant especially overseas.
