AFMC's Wingman Intervention program going strong Published Jan. 8, 2016 Air Force Materiel Command Public Affairs WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- More than two years after it was introduced, Air Force Materiel Command's Wingman Intervention program is still going strong. "AFMC made a concerted effort to provide its Airmen with the skills and confidence they need to safely intervene when they see fellow Airmen entering into potentially harmful situations, both on and off duty," said Jennifer Treat, AFMC Community Support Coordinator. A recent example of Wingman intervention within the community occurred in November at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Tech. Sgt. Corey Vandiver, 33rd Fighter Wing and his wife Staff Sgt. Jennifer Vandiver, 96th Test Wing, saw a vehicle lose control while driving on Hwy 85. The car flipped over landing on its side. The Airmen stopped to provide assistance. Jennifer called 911 for help and Corey climbed on top of the car and pulled the driver out of the vehicle. The driver was given medical attention and lived. The goal of the Wingman Intervention program is to turn those situations -- where personnel recognized at-risk behavior and proactively intervened -- into teachable moments and to encourage similar behavior in others. So far, more than 40 interventions have been highlighted. "A good wingman stays alert for signs of danger from whatever source -- whether suicide, safety mishaps, alcohol abuse, sexual assault, bullying, medical issues or other difficulties -- and gets involved by knowing their fellow Airmen and assisting when necessary," Treat continued. "We're proud to have so many true wingmen in our command who look out for the welfare of their colleagues and community." If you become aware of situations in which personnel have recognized at-risk behaviors and proactively intervened, please contact your local Community Support Coordinator.
