It is critically important that we, as leaders, foster an environment of discov- ery and learning, encouraging airmen to dream big, and truly listen to their voices as we pursue solutions to the challenges of today and in the future. Dreaming big is possible because of our talent- ed AMC team and what they deliver. Champion- ing the mobility enterprise’s needs and address- ing concerns in traditional and nontraditional ways, while helping others believe beyond today’s possibilities, is a must. People should feel em- powered to bring forward ideas and concerns. Af- ter all, it is critically important to think of emer- gent warfighting requirements before they are upon us. Our airmen enable lethality, deliver hope and relief, and always project strength. The Mobility Air Forces are football’s equivalent of the offen- sive line; foundational to every play, but not nec- essarily drawing the headlines. AMC’s ‘Core 4’ missions — aerial refueling, airlift, aeromedical evacuation and mobility sup- port — underpin our nation’s military strength. 7OV[VI`;LJO:N[1HTLZ/VKNTHU Our airmen are always ready to answer the call. .LU*HYS[VU,]LYOHY[00(PY4VIPSP[`*VTTHUKJVTTHUKLYTLL[Z^P[OTLTILYZVM[OL[O,_WL Last year, the mobility enterprise led the re- KP[PVUHY`(PY4VIPSP[`:X\HKYVUK\YPUNH]PZP[[V(S<KLPK(PY)HZL8H[HY4HYJO,]LYOHY[HSZV sponse for four hurricanes, launching 1,600 sor- OLSKHUHSSJHSS4HYJO^OLYLOLZ[YLZZLK[OLPTWVY[HUJLVMTHPU[HPUPUNYLHKPULZZHUKTVKLYU See COMMENTARY, Page 14 PaPUNTVIPSP[`MVYJLZ[VMHJLM\[\YLJOHSSLUNLZ7OV[VHS[LYLKMVYZLJ\YP[`W\YWVZLZ -VYPUMVYTH[PVUHIV\[IHZLVWLYH[PVUZK\YPUNLTLYNLUJPLZVYUH[\YHSKPZHZ[LYZJHSS[OL:[YHPNO[;HSR3PULH[ COMMANDER’S ACTION LINE 4HJ+PSSVU[OL^LI Website: www.macdill.af.mil The Action Line provides two-way communication between the Facebook: www.facebook.com/ 6th Air Mobility Wing commander and the MacDill community.

In an effort to eliminate wait times and in- crease customer satisfaction, the MPF unveiled a new online renewal process this month for de- pendent and retiree identification cards. “Customer satisfaction is our first priority and we actively support our customer base,” said 2nd Lt. Ronald Donnell, the flight com- mander of the MPF assigned to the 6th FSS. “From our customer’s feedback, we saw a need to substantially reduce our waiting times in our facility.” According to MacDill’s 2017 Economic Impact Statement, 95,238 people make up the base and surrounding area military population, but it doesn’t define how large the surrounding area 7OV[VI`(PYTHUZ[*SHZZ:JV[[>HYULY is. ;OL[O-VYJL:\WWVY[:X\HKYVUTPSP[HY`WLYZVUULSMSPNO[HZZPZ[ZJ\Z[VTLYZ^P[OJVTTVUHJJLZZ “Some of our customers travel more than JHYKZKLWLUKLU[0+ZYLZLY]L0+ZYL[PYLL0+ZHUK+LMLUZL,UYVSSTLU[,SPNPIPSP[`9LWVY[PUN:`Z[LT 100 miles to get here,” said Donnell. “With how +,,9:\WKH[LZH[[OL+,,9: 0+*HYKZVMMPJLVU4HJ+PSS(PY-VYJL)HZL(\N;OL[O-:: 47-[LHTPZZ\LK*(*ZPUHUK^P[OUL^VUSPULMLH[\YLZWSHUZ[VL_JLLK[OH[U\TILY See ID CARDS, Page 14 [OPZ`LHY (YT`9LZLY]L:VSKPLYZOV^JHZLZYLTHYRHISLNVSMPUNZRPSSZ I`:N[Z[*SHZZ)YLU[7V^LSS UI64"SNZ3FTFSWF0QFSBUJPOBM3FTQPOTF$PNNBOE She turns her head ever so slightly allowing her well-trained eyes to shift to the tiny target barely visible more than 300 yards in the distance. She focuses intensely, locking the formula needed into the recesses of her mind where many targets have been before. Her hands and fingers slowly tighten their grip and her muscles tense ever so slightly in anticipation of the violence to come. Her feet grip the manicured grass below as if they were not feet at all, but rather roots of an ancient tree unmovable by the forces of nature. Her mind settles and tunes out the whispers of the crowd behind her. A soft breeze briefly ruffles her shirt as it rushes past. Now is the time. She draws back…and with an air-splitting whoosh and a hard clank of metal she launches a golf ball high into the air, sending it flying towards its target at more than 100 miles-per-hour. She stands statuesque, quietly watching the tiny ball as it slowly fades into the dis- tance before dropping next to her target, just as she envisioned mere 7OV[VI`:N[Z[*SHZZ)YLU[*7V^LSS seconds before.

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.
