    Meet the boss, our commander, Col. Shawn Manke, of Andover, Minnesota. After graduating from the University of North Dakota with a bachelor’s degree in aviation and airway management and operations, Manke accepted his commission as a U.S. Army officer. He spent nearly a decade on active duty, including time spent serving in Germany and Turkey, before joining the Minnesota National Guard. With command time at the detachment, company and battalion levels under his belt, Manke took over as the CAB commander on Aug. 22, 2015. Today, he leads the unit as it supports and participates in the bilateral training exercise Talisman Saber 17. When he's not commanding the CAB, Manke serves full-time as the Minnesota National Guard's state aviation officer.
