To ensure the 97th Air Mobility Wing is at the forefront of readiness and continues to provide the strategic advantage our nation needs to fly, fight, and win, Col. Richard Kind, 97th AMW commander, has introduced a new mission, vision, and enduring priorities that better align with a warrior ethos and future-focused operations.
Change isn’t always about fixing something that’s broken; sometimes, it’s about sharpening what already works. The Airmen of the 97th Air Mobility Wing have been operating at a high level, delivering world-class mobility training and supporting the Air Force’s global reach every day. Now, they’re aligning their mission, vision and priorities to reflect the excellence already being lived out across the wing.
The Department of the Air Force has recognized the 97th Security Forces Squadron as the Outstanding Medium Security Forces Unit of the Year, highlighting not only their contribution to safeguarding Altus Air Force Base personnel and resources, but also to strengthening the Air Force as a whole.
