  • Welcome New Utah Wing Staff
  • 2013 Air Force Operational Evaluation
  • Mon May 20, 2013

    Greetings Everyone,

    I just wanted to thank and congratulate everyone for the time and efforts put into our Successful evaluation with the Air Force. The "final" analysis from the Air Force may take a few weeks to be mailed to us, but during the out briefing they gave us the overall scores and some verbal comments.

    I realize that these evaluation missions take time out of your and your family's life, but as you know, this evaluation is what "certifies" the Utah Wing to be capable to perform the ES missions as required by the Air Force, and "certifies" that they can pay the bills necessary for us to be able to train and perform those missions.

    We were lucky to get this evaluation performed during a time where monies are hard to come by for the Air Force. The evaluation team figured out how to get the evaluation done for Utah, even though there were limited resources.

    Our Mission Air Crews, UDF/Communications Teams, and Mission Staff around the Wing did a great job, and I am very proud of the efforts and outcomes that were shown.

    In response to this, we want to encourage anyone that was on the mission, to write down comments - both good and bad - that we will review publicly in the next couple of weeks. Time/Date to be determined and announced. We want this After Action Review meeting to be a launching point where we can begin to encourage and perform continuous mission training, all around the Wing, so we are continuing to train air, ground, and mission staff throughout the year.

    An announcement and a program of how we are going to do continuous training will be created after the AAR.

    Thank you all again for all that you have done, and CONGRATULATIONS!

    Jon
