Ivanka Vrechkov (center), after cutting a cake celebrating the Air Force Reserve's 67th birthday during a ceremony in the Pentagon April 6, 2015, in Washington. Also on hand for the ceremony were Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Larry Spencer (not pictured) and Chief of the Air Force Reserve Lt. Gen. James"JJ" Jackson (right). Vrechkov is the noncommissioned officer in charge of Policy Integration for RE. The Air Force Reserve was established on April 14, 1948, by President Harry S. Truman, seven months after the active duty Air Force was established as a separate service. Originally, it was a standby force for use in wartime and national emergencies. The Air Force Reserve has worked closely with their active duty counterparts since the first associate unit stood up at Norton Air Force Base, Calif., in 1968. The Air Force Reserve also performs unique missions, such as aerial firefighting, aerial spray and weather reconnaissance. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jim Varhegyi)(released)
