Nominating reason for selection:
CMSgt Seth L. Rector, Reaper AMU Superintendent
Senior Airman Joseph was part of a three-person team deployed to Duke Field, Eglin Air Force Base, FL, in support of Combat Hammer, which is the Air-to-Ground effort in the weapon system evaluation program. She was instrumental to the initial setup of a dual Global Communications System, two Ground Data Terminals and a Satellite Communication Earth Terminal Subsystem (SETTS) in less than a week. Specifically, she worked tirelessly to repair waveguides damaged during shipment. Despite the dire condition of the SETTS, her tenacity resulted in a complete refurbish and ensured the vital SATCOM link was ready for the first day of flying. The deployment was a resounding success, with 16 out of 16 targets sunk. As a result, 26 Weapons Squadron was able to refine MQ-9 Reaper maritime target engagement tactics, techniques, and procedures.
