Vision The Premier Airlift Wing Mission Ready, Devoted to Airmen and Community, Dedicated to Continuous Improvement

Col. David Cochran 167AW WING COMMANDER

Hello Team 167th. Thanks for another productive and full UTA. It was great to see everyone again. Many of you were tasked to pick up your mobility bags for the rodeo training scheduled for next month. This is all in preparation for the May flyaway exercise; code name “Thunder Bay.” We also had some airmen fly out on our C-17 to join the national exercise PATRIOT SOUTH conducted in Georgia. Chief Stevens, Colonel Timko and I will travel this week to observe some of their training first hand; and we’ll welcome those members back next week. Please join me in congratulating Lt. Col. Christopher Sigler, as he assumed command of the Mission Support Group. Lt Col Sigler has been a member of the WVANG since 1992, starting in LRS’s aerial port, with his last assignment as Operations’ Airlift Squadron commander. He brings a wealth of operational experience to the job and is looking forward to working with the tremendous members of MSG. He is sure to continue the path of excellence established by Col Neely and most recently Lt. Col. Nasser before him. Wing staff is excited for the future of our wing and deliberate leadership will be the focus. During the assumption of command for Mission Support Group, it was emphasized that each group contributes to our wing’s success. We would not exist as a wing without the combined effort of MSG, MXG, OPS and MDG. So, it’s great to have the sibling rivalries between the groups and that spirit spurs awesome competition. Remember, it takes the full team to get it done. We also acknowledged a few members who have reached the incredible milestone of 40 years of military service; Chief Geraghty, Chief Gengler and SMSgt Shafer; and welcomed the newest member of student flight. We were happy to host Brig. Gen. Ray Shepard’s promotion ceremony this weekend. General Shepard is a former 167th staff judge advocate and is the newly selected Chief of Staff for the WVANG. We thank all of you who worked so diligently to ensure both ceremonies were top notch and provided a won- derful atmosphere for family, friends and specials guest of the wing. Unfortunately, the inclement weather postponed the planned visit from TAG Hoyer and our ATAG, Brig. Gen. Walker. So, expect to receive General Walk- er’s strategic vision for the WVANG next month. We look forward to seeing them in the near future and delivering our State of the Wing briefing to ATAG. Lastly, we would like to congratulate all of the airmen receiving promotions over UTA. Job well done! You have earned the right and proven you are ready to perform at the next level. Don’t take you new responsibilities lightly, and continue to prepare for the next opportunity. A special congrats to the recent E-8 promotes: SMSgt Dave Twigg, SMSgt Charlie Moore, SMSgt Todd Buckley, SMSgt Eric Swartz, SMSgt Patrick Judy and SMSgt Jim DeCicco. Our expectations are high for them. That’s all for now team. Continue taking care of each other, and staying ready. We’ll see you next month. Mountaineer Pride Worldwide

MOUNTAINEER PRIDE WORLDWIDE 3 West Virginia Air Guard gains insight into Qatar’s air force through SPP visit By Maj. Holli Nelson | West Virginia National Guard Public Affairs | Feb. 28, 2019

AL UDEID AIR BASE, Qatar — The West Virginia Air National Guard (WVANG) and Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) recently held the first official State Partnership Program (SPP) - engage ment between the two partner nations’ air forces at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, Feb. 10 through 14, 2019. During the five-day tour, three members of the WVANG’s 130th Airlift Wing and 167th Airlift Wing – Col. Patrick Chard, Maj. Alex Hanna, and Chief Master Sgt. Todd Kirkwood, as well as SPP Coordinator for Qatar, U.S. Army Capt. Allen Jordan – were provided insight into the operations of Qatar’s air force and met with key QEAF leaders for discussion on interoperability of forces and future engagement opportunities. While visiting the QEAF Airlift Wing, commanded by Col. Hamaad Hadeed, the West Virginia National Guard delegation received a first-hand look at the operations and maintenance training facilities used by the QEAF and met with both the 10th and 12th Squadron Commanders, Maj. Yousuf Al-Hussaini and Capt. Fahad Al-Kuwari. The QEAF operates both the C-130J and C-17A aircraft, similar airframes to what the 130th and 167th Airlift Wings operate. “Not only do we share common airframes with the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF), but we also share a collective mission focus and a desire to improve our operational capabilities. This partnership will prove mutually beneficial to both the WVANG and the QEAF,” said Chard, who commands the 130th Airlift Wing’s Maintenance Group in Charleston, W.Va. The team from the WVANG had an opportunity to view the Al Zaeem Mo- hammed Bin Abdullah Al Attiya Air Academy. The academy is a pristine Air Force Training center complete with a state-of-the-art C-17 aircraft simulator and load- master training system. The system is similar to the simulator used at the 167th AW in Martinsburg, W.Va., and provides the QEAF with advanced training capabilities for Qatari aircrew. Members of the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) and the West Virginia National Guard pose for a photo Feb. 14, 2019, while touring the QEAF facilities at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.

Chard noted that, “The Qataris have demonstrated a commitment to building a highly capable Air Force through the procurement of new aircraft and investing in some world class training tech- nologies.” “This engagement was an important meeting in the newly established West Virginia – Qatar partnership that will build upon the United States’ longstanding relationship with Qatar and will allow us to discern possible bilateral opportunities in the future,” said U.S. Army Capt. Joshua Goforth, SPP director. “The West Virginia National Guard looks forward to the working alongside our Qatari partners to enhance interoperability of forces and grow our partnership.” The WVNG SPP team is developing opportunities for engagement between the QEAF and WVANG that would take place in the future to include topics of discussion on C-130 and C-17 maintenance, current operations, aeromedical evacuation and showcasing Air National Guard domestic response capabilities. The WVNG has been partnered with the State of Qatar since May 2018 through the National Guard Bureau’s SPP. The two nations work to develop and engage in mutually beneficial military-to-military, military-to-civilian, and civilian-to-civilian engagements to increase military and diplomatic capabilities, training interactions, interoperability, and to deter and disrupt criminal and terrorist activities in the Middle East region.
