Logan, Assistant Adjutant General and California Air National Guard commander, Maj. Gen. Gregory F. Jones, 154th Operations Group (OSG) commander, Col. Michael Blake, 154th Wing Vice Commander, Col. James S. Shigekane, Sentry Aloha Lead Project Officer Lt. Col. Matthew Ohman, Hawaii National Guard Senior Enlisted Leader CSMG Dana Wingad and 154th Wing Command Chief Master Sgt. Carrol Orr.
