 Congratulations to the 162nd maintenance group for winning the 2022 Air National Guard Maintenance Effectiveness Award. The maintenance group successfully executed our wings flying hour program while faced with significant full-time personnel vacancies and 35 aircraft in some kind of depot level maintenance throughout the year. I'd like to highlight that we transferred 81 aircraft in and out of our wing, 10 aircraft were equipped with a sophisticated new radar package, and five were sent off to AMARG for a three-month heavy maintenance upgrade for essential mission systems. During this last year, the maintenance group worked together to facilitate depot level maintenance of the Canopy Scylondron for our fleet of F-16s here locally with a field team from Hill Air Force Base. The combined efforts of our airmen led to the generation of over 10,000 sorties and almost 12,000 flying hours and the on-time graduation of 60 B-Core students. Again, congratulations to the maintenance group on their success. I couldn't be prouder to lead such a talented group of airmen.
