193rd Special Operations Wing

Col. Mike Cason, 193rd Special Operations Wing commander, addresses members of the wing during a ‘town hall’ meeting May 20. A ‘town hall’ meeting is a mass briefing where the commander relays important mission related information to unit members.

Cason started out by talking about the wing’s mission statement and his priorities. The commander’s top priority is to get the mission done and bring people, airplanes and equipment home. Other priorities include taking care of Airmen and families as wells as properly training and equipping Airmen.

Cason then discussed some of the challenges that the wing faces. A few of these challenges include promotions, lodging and infrastructure. Cason also mentioned some ways that these challenges are getting resolved, to include a new PaANG form 75 to help speed up promotions.

“This is your wing, bring things to us and we will work to improve them,” said Cason. “We will lead the way for the National Guard.”
