4/12/2013 - BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. -- Air Force Global Strike Command announced its 2012 Outstanding Airmen of the Year, along with AFGSC Operations Awards, in the Global Strike Headquarters Building April 10.
"This is our opportunity today to recognize our top performers and top units in the command," said Lt. Gen. Jim Kowalski, AFGSC commander. "Our success as an Air Force and our success as a major command depend on success at the tactical level."
The winners were announced during the annual AFGSC Spring Commander's Conference via a virtual teleconference. Each winner was recognized in-person by leadership at their respective bases.
"When the Chief [of Staff of the Air Force] was here at Barksdale last week he talked about the nuke mission. He said that it's the backstop to everything that we do." Kowalski said. "For the winners, hopefully this award encourages you to be a leader and be the example of excellence."
