EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- FROM THE COMMANDER:
I’m very proud to share that members of the 96th Test Wing garnered 100+ Air Force Materiel Command awards in functional areas across the spectrum. I’d especially like to highlight both the Air Force and Department of Defense award recognition we received to date (shown below).
The competition at the MAJCOM, AF, and DoD level is extremely high, so these awards are a recognition of the highly talented individuals and teams working across the 96th TW. A special thanks to the supervisors who took the time to submit the award nominations.
