 Hello, 127th Wing. I'm General Momen and welcome to the December drill. Today we're filming from the heart of the 127th maintenance group here in Hangar 3. This is usually a hub of activity where we're maintaining airplanes to fly every day of the week to be ready. Last year, the A-10s flew over 4,000 hours as part of their annual flying training program. Well done. Great job for everyone working here in the 127th maintenance group. Now for a quick COVID update. The 127th Wing is still in health protection condition Bravo and the state of Michigan is experiencing high transmission rates of the virus within the community. So what does that mean for us? That means for anyone who is inside, masks are required. For anyone who is not vaccinated, masks are required both indoors and outdoors. Now in the 127th Wing, we are striving for 100% vaccination rates. So as of this time, members should either A be 100% vaccinated or B have their paperwork turned in requesting an accommodation. The year 2021 has been an amazingly busy year. Looking back at it, it started out where we had teams in Washington DC supporting the inauguration. We had teams in our community working on COVID relief to include medical teams administering literally thousands of shots and thousands of COVID tests. We had other teams working in food banks that have literally packaged thousands of tons of food for those who are in need. As a cornerstone of Michigan communities, I'm very proud that our members have supported our community in this time of need. From a mission execution perspective, another busy year as well. The KC-135 side, we established KC-135 hot pit refueling procedures and we're the first in the Air National Guard to do so. Those efforts were critical to the success of Mobility Guardian and lauded by Air Mobility Command. Well done. In the spring, the 127th Operations Group and Maintenance Group deployed to Nellis Air Force Base for Green Flag West, a huge exercise in conjunction with the Army that is critical for our readiness. Now in July and August, we had our major large-scale readiness exercise, which we did up in Alpina. We took over 800 people to exercise Spartan and exercised our operations under a contested, degraded and operationally limited environment. We exercised our Agile Combat Employment by landing aircraft on Highway 32, which was just west of Alpina. That was the first time that we confined in history where we have landed modern fighter aircraft on a highway here in the United States. That has gotten a lot of attention through Air Combat Command and actually Pacific Air Command as well. PAC-AF is wanting our assistance in the future setting up highway landings within the PAC-AF AOR. That effort is a testament to our innovation and our adaptability as the 127th Wing. After Exercise Spartan, we sent nearly 40 of our medical group members to Siginella, Italy for a huge training event. Some of the feedback that I received from them was that was one of the best deployments they have ever done in their career. And since October, we've been sending numerous Airmen downrange as part of RCP-7 all across the globe, in addition to numerous Airmen who are out now supporting Operation Allies Refuge. And with that, I'd like to hand it off to Chief Gordon for some of his thoughts. Thank you, General. Team, I'm coming at you today from the 191st Maintenance Squadron, where a high-speed group of men and women maintainers are credited every day with making sure our KC-135 mission is a success. And I'm standing right next to one of those warriors right now, Senior Airman Joshua Bartatovich. Now, Senior Airman Bartatovich has only been with us about three years. Last month, he was dutifully promoted to the rank of Senior Airman, and he is lauded by his leadership for doing an outstanding job and stepping up to the plate when duty calls. Senior Airman Bartatovich, it's my pleasure to offer you my coin and say congratulations on the job well done. Team, from the hundreds of you that completed your mission critical skill upgrade training in 2021, to the 60-plus of you that completed your professional military education either in residence or virtually, to the 56 of you that completed your college degree through the Community College of the Air Force, I gotta tell you I applaud you. Our enlisted folks have racked up some serious stats in 2021, and I tell you what, we can't wait to see what you can do in 2022. Back to you, sir. Thanks, Chief. Looking back at 2021, I can't tell you how proud I am of the 127th Wing, an amazingly busy year. Now, this month, we're going to be honoring our top performing airman in the 127th Wing with our Outstanding Airman of the Year ceremony. Now, as we approach the holiday season, please spend time with your families and thank them for their sacrifices for your service. You've done a lot of work this year, and so please take some time and rest through the month of December. As we go into January of 2022, I anticipate it to be just as busy as 2021. It is our goal that the 127th Wing is the best-led, most efficient, effective, and adaptable organization in the United States Air Force. Thank you for your leadership, and thank you for your professionalism.
