Everhart, previously commander of the 18th Air Force, had a monumental day on July 28th when he received sen- ate confirmation for his fourth star to become the next AMC com- Gmander at Scott AFB, Illinois. Gen Everhart graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1983. He went on to become a command pilot with more than 4,500 hours in at least 10 different aircraft, including the C-130E, C-17A, and C-21A. Gen Everhart—who has served at Headquarters Air Education and Training Command as the Inspector General and as the Deputy Director of Intelligence, Operations, and Nuclear Integration for Flying Training—was the Air Force aide to the President and has commanded at the squadron, group, and wing levels. Deploying to Afghanistan as the Deputy Commander of Political-Military Af- fairs, Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, Gen Everhart was the direct liaison for the U.S. Ambassador and the Commander, International Security Assistance Force. He previously commanded the 3d Air Force and 17th Expeditionary Air Force in Germany, as well as the 618th Air and Space Opera- tions Center (Tanker Airlift Control Center) at Scott AFB. Since June 2014, he served as the 18th Air Force’s commander, also at Scott AFB. Gen Everhart replaces Gen Darren McDew, who was confirmed to be commander of the U.S. Transportation Command. Quoting the Secretary of the Air Force at the 2014 Airlift Tanker Association Symposium, Gen Everhart said, “Air Mobility Airmen shrink the world,” and adding, “You make the impossible happen—every single day.” Welcome, Gen Everhart, and congratulations!

Beyond providing for our national security, the military installations in Oklahoma (Altus AFB, Fort Sill, McAlester Army Ammu- nition Plant, Tinker AFB, and Vance AFB) have a tremendous economic impact in the state. They are economic engines that employ Oklahomans. Illustrating the importance of these installations: • Over 69,100 military personnel, federal civilian personnel and contractors were employed at Oklahoma’s military installations in FY 2010. • These jobs, and the operations at the installations, supported an additional 64,700 jobs in Oklahoma’s economy for a total employment impact of more than 133,800 jobs in the state. • Impacts on Oklahoma’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is value-added economic activity, totaled more than $9.6 billion in FY 2010, which was more than 7% of the size of the state’s entire economy.

    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.
