MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. - The 184th Intelligence Wing experienced its first Unit Effectiveness Inspection, or UEI, during a Capstone event July 17-20. The inspection resulted in an overall “Effective” rating for the wing’s first inspection cycle.
“I’m very pleased with how we performed during the inspection,” said Col. J.J. Jordan, commander, 184th Intelligence Wing. “The feedback that I got all week long was outstanding. It will only get better with time.”
The new inspection program allowed the wing to inspect its own internal programs while the visiting inspectors were on scene to critique the wing’s inspection system. Virtual inspections were also introduced, which involved off-site inspectors viewing records through computer software.
“The UEI Capstone was just a marker along the way as the wing continues to build its inspection program,” said Maj. Deborah Balentine, director of inspections, 184th Inspector General’s Office.
According to the final inspection report, “The inspection team evaluated the unit’s discipline, effectiveness, efficiency and compliance using standards set forth in Air Force Instruction 90-201 and applicable major command guidance.”
The on-site inspection team consisted of 42 inspectors from the Air Combat Command, Air Force Inspection Agency and the Air Force Space Command.
Inspection cycles are normally four-year periods, but the recent cycle was considerably less since the Air Force just implemented the revised inspection system in June 2013.
With only a couple of years to prepare, the wing’s leaders immediately created the IG Office which then formed the wing inspection team comprised of subject matter experts who carried out internal inspections on other offices within the unit.
“The more telling sign of our wing’s success up to now has been the way wing leadership and members have readily embraced the demands of this new inspection system,” said Balentine. “That has been outstanding!”
