27th Special Operations Wing Public Affairs

2/11/2013 - CANNON AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- The hard working men and women of the 27th Special Operations Maintenance Group earned top honors as they were chosen the recipients for the Air Force's 2012 Clements McMullen Memorial Daedalian Weapon System Maintenance Trophy.

Awarded annually, this trophy is given to the Air Force unit with the greatest weapon system maintenance record over the past year.

"Our people superbly support an impressive array of special-function aircraft types," said Col. David Wiesner, 27 SOMXG commander. "Despite having aircraft constantly involved in cutting-edge testing and upgrades, we continue to flawlessly meet aircrew training requirements and real world taskings with reliable and mission-ready aircraft. Nobody does it better."

The trophy will be officially presented to the 27 SOMXG during a ceremony at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M. Times and dates are currently being coordinated. Updates will be made available on the 27th Special Operations Wing Facebook page.

"It's awesome for our maintainers to get recognition from people outside of the Cannon family," said Wiesner. "We have always known what a great job our maintainers do each and every day, and how hard they work. Now people at other locations and levels can see the evidence of their continuous exceptional effort."
