    86th Airlift Wing

    An 86th Airlift Wing civilian was selected as Airlifter of the Week for her performance at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, May 6, 2021.


    Rachel Byrd, 86th AW drug demand reduction program administrative manager, excelled during the COVID-19 pandemic in one of the largest collection sites outside of Air Education and Training Command.

    "She has so many qualities that needed to be recognized amongst the wing staff agencies," said Calvin Collosi, 86th AW DDRP manager. "She's excelled in every challenge we've given her and it's a blessing to have her as part of our phenomenal team here. I know I can be away from the office and have superstars in the office to make sure everything goes smoothly."

    Byrd has been part of the DDRP team for a year and a half. Her responsibilities during that time include accounting for more than 80 units, including geographically separated units, being the sole Government Purchase Cardholder for the DDRP office and collecting more than 3,700 specimens during normal testing and including wellness sweeps, dorm inspections and dorm checks.

    "It's encouraging, sometimes I just put my head down and do my job and it doesn't seem like anyone's paying attention," said Byrd. "So it's nice to get recognized like this."
