“I know you're the right person for the job and I wish you well leading the Panthers,” Bailey said to Foshee while welcoming him to PSAB. “Lead them, listen to them, care for them, fight for them, brag on them and then stand back and watch how much they will exceed your expectations.”
Foshee, coming from Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, where he served as the operations officer for the 965th Airborne Air Control Squadron, took the time to show admiration on the past accomplishments of his new squadron.
“You the individual airmen are our greatest strategic asset and your contributions will live far beyond the lifespan of our E-3 fleet,” Foshee said. “You are true seasoned warriors and I look forward to flying and leading and building partner nation capacity across the region.”
The 968th EAACS mission is to fly the E-3G Sentry, which is a modified Boeing 707 with a rotating radar dome that delivers real-time tactical decision-making and battlefield awareness to U.S. and partner nation assets.
