 Hello, 127th Wing. I'm General Mahlmann and welcome to the December drill. As I was preparing for this video I look back over the last 12 months at all the accomplishments that the 127th Wing has done And I'm just absolutely proud of the organization and the men and women for everything that you have done to make this year an amazing success. So think about all the highlight events. We had Airmen working at Operation Allies Welcome. Greeting our Afghan friends here into the United States. That lasted really through the beginning of this year all the way through about March of last year. Additionally, we had over a hundred Airmen deployed as part of RCP-7 this year. And in fact at one point we had Airmen in every major geographic combatant command across the globe. Fantastic work done. Also, we sent tankers and equipment and personnel to Guam for a deployment to support our allies in the Pacific Theater. And then in the spring we did a generation exercise for both the tankers and the ATENS. And this generation exercise was contested where we pulled power, where we pulled comms, where we pulled our radios and had us generate aircraft without having all our computer systems available to us at our fingertips. We participated in Northern Agility 22-1 and 22-2, which were Agile Combat Employment Exercises learning these new techniques that we will need to present forces against a peer competitor. In that, we landed again on another Michigan highway, but this time we did integrated combat turns to include loading munitions on the highway in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Additionally, the tankers took part in doing so many innovative new techniques to include what wing defuel and hot pit refueling for the tankers all again to try to get after our Agile Combat Employment requirements moving forward. Additionally, in July we had our air show and open house. Just prior to the air show and open house, the governor came to visit Selfridge along with the secretary of the Air Force. That was actually on the day prior to the air show and they both got to meet Airman as part of the family day of the air show. During the air show, we hosted well over 100,000 of our local citizens that came out to see what their taxpayer dollars are paying for and I couldn't be prouder of how well the organization supported that air show and open house. Leading up to the air show and open house, we did three STEM events out in the local community trying to inspire that next generation to serve. In total, we probably saw over 1,000 young men and women who are getting ready to embark on their careers, hopefully bringing them into our Air National Guard family. And then rounding out the year, we had both the Air Combat Command and Air Mobility Command Inspector Generals here on base to give us our capstone inspection, which I'm proud to say we did extremely well. We were effective in all four major graded areas and that is a testament to all the hard work that every Airman of the 127th Wing has done. So I want to say a big thank you for all the Airmen. When looking back at that past year, I never expected it to be as busy as it was, but I got to tell you something. The Airmen of the 127th Wing are the magic. It's that you that make those things possible cannot be prouder of this organization and everything that you have accomplished over this past year. Looking forward to this drill on Sunday, we're planning a 127th Wing Commander's Call. This is going to be our first Commander's Call since 2019 because COVID has shut things down over the last several years. During the Commander's Call, we're going to give you time to ask questions of your leadership team, and we're going to try to answer those as best we possibly can. So I'm looking forward to seeing everybody in formation on Sunday of drill. Now looking forward to next year, we're going to continue moving out on our Air Staff transition as we reorganize the Wing. Looking forward to Air Defender 23 in Germany in the summer of next year and then future deployments for some members of our organization. And again, this is the holiday season, so I want to wish everybody a happy holidays. But at the same token, I ask all of you to please be safe over this holiday season. Please have a wingman. Keep an eye out for each other. It is our goal that the 127th Wing is the best led, most efficient, effective, and adaptable organization in the United States Air Force. I appreciate your leadership, and I appreciate your professionalism.
