Even with a deployment tempo like ours, we are still able to innovate, modernize and sustain, and transform training for successful operations. Every day, our Air Commandos get after it, and I can’t thank you enough for your tireless effort for the cause.It is because of your dedication that Hurlburt Field has received honorable mention for the prestigious Commander in Chief’s Installation Excellence Award. Without every one of you, and what each of you brings to the fight every day, this would not have been possible.
