104th Fighter Wing Airmen spent roughly two weeks training with their active duty counterparts at both Ramstein and Spangdahlem Air Bases in Germany. Airmen from multiple sections of the 104th Fighter Wing participated in the training including Airmen from the Civil Engineering Squadron, Communications Flight, Force Support Squadron, Logistics Readiness Squadron, Mission Support Group, and the Fighter Wing headquarters staff.
“Two of the training goals coming into this DFT were to provide Installation Personnel Readiness and PERSCO training for all personnel, and concentrated PERSCO training for personnel who may deploy as PERSCO team member,” said Master Sgt. Gabe Kushin, 104th FW Manpower, and Personnel Flight Superintendent.
One of the 104th Airmen who received training specific to their mission in a deployed environment was Staff Sgt. Tammy Midwood, 104th Military Personnel Flight NCOIC of Employments.
“Earlier this year I went to Deliberate Crisis Action Planning Execution System training where I learned the theory of how the system works, so coming here allowed me to put those theories into practice so I can fully understand how to execute the mission downrange,” said Midwood.
One of the NCOs Midwood learned from was Tech. Sgt. A Arce, NCOIC of IPR at Spangdahlem.
“Having 104th Fighter Wing Airmen here allows us to share our deployment knowledge and how Persco actually works in a deployed location,” said Arce.
The 104th Fighter Wing Airmen training in personnel rotated through different sections in groups to maximize their time training.
“Both groups of 104th Airmen I have been a part of training are really good at asking the right questions,” said Arce. “You can tell they’re taking full advantage of this training opportunity.”
