341st Missile Wing Public Affairs
8/6/2014 - MALMSTROM AIR FORCE BASE, Mont. -- Lt.
Gen. Stephen Wilson, Air Force Global Strike Command commander, visited
Malmstrom Air Force Base Aug. 4 to 6 to interact with Airmen and see
the overall mission.
Focused on current Force Improvement Program initiative updates and to
share his top priorities for the future of AFGSC, Wilson's comprehensive
visit included meetings with wing leadership as well as a missile alert
facility, Weapon's Storage Area and 341st Medical Group tour.
"In the 21st-century, a credible nuclear deterrent is still absolutely
necessary, and the nuclear mission must remain the clear priority of Air
Force leaders at all levels," Wilson said.
Wilson discussed the future of incentives and nuclear medals for Airmen
deploying to the missile complex during a 341st Operations Group
pre-departure briefing; internet access and other tangible items added
to MAFs; the newly formed 20th Air Force Helicopter Operations Group at
F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo., and the Personnel Reliability Program.
"Strengthening the Air Force culture requires capitalizing on the
diversity that has made our service so successful," Wilson said in an
email to AFGSC Airmen. "We must leverage the full innovative potential
in all of our Airmen. Every day our Airmen solve problems and overcome
barriers to keep missiles on alert and get sorties in the air -- we must
embrace their "can-do" attitude and capture what they've learned to
improve our entire force."
Wilson reiterated to Wing One the necessity of listening to suggestions
made by Airmen across AFGSC to keep improving the nuclear enterprise.
"What I see is a bunch of talented and smart people," Wilson said. "This
whole [FIP] initiative is to listen to people doing the mission . . .
and empowering them to do the mission."
