    U.S. Air Force Col. Marc Greene, 628th Air Base Wing and Joint Base Charleston commander, was honored during a council meeting at Charleston City Hall, South Carolina, Oct. 12, 2021.

    John Tecklenburg, Mayor of Charleston, presented Greene with a Proclamation honoring the actions of JB Charleston Airmen during the Afghanistan evacuations. During the efforts, crews evacuated approximately 124,000 refugees and Americans due to the swift response from JB Charleston Airmen.
