Linebacker of the Week: Tech. Sgt. Lauren Hayes
Andersen Air Force Base, Guam-- U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Lauren Hayes, a Client Systems Operations Technician, was recognized as the 36th Wing’s Team Andersen Linebacker of the Week, at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, June 29, 2022.
The Team Andersen Linebacker of the Week recognizes outstanding enlisted, officer, civilian and total force personnel who have had an impact on achieving Team Andersen’s Mission, Vision and Priorities.
Tech. Sgt. Lauren Hayes is an enthusiastic volunteer who cultivates regional and local partnerships through various environmental preservation and humanitarian efforts to include; cleaning up and patrolling local beaches in order to save endangered turtle species and fostering multiple dogs in support of the “Boonie Flight Project” which finds stray dogs in Guam forever homes in the Mainland. In addition to all of this, she is a devoted Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Volunteer Victim Advocate who directly embodies the Department of Defense SAPR strategic plan, to establish an enduring culture of dignity and respect. She has committed 100 hours on call, and 40 hours of training in order to maintain excellence in victim advocacy and solidify prevention efforts on the installation.
Hayes has performed multiple tasks that expand the combat capabilities of the 36th
Wing. Most recently, she assisted with an IT upgrade for the Contingency Response Group operations planning group room valued at 80,000 dollars. In doing so, she improved the overall communications capabilities for the CRG, enabling more efficient and effective mission planning and execution in the area of responsibility.
Her outstanding work ethic shows that she values mission partners and strengthening
relationships within the Wing. After a CMI event, Hayes substantially eased the workload
for client systems when multiple devices needed to be sanitized, taking it upon herself to re-image devices for the CRG.
The term Linebacker is rooted deep within Team Andersen’s history. Operation Linebacker II took place on Dec. 18, 1972, and was the largest number of heavy bomber strikes launched by the U.S. Air Force since the end of World War II. During the operation, B-52s from Andersen flew round-the-clock bombing missions over North Vietnam to destroy major targets in Hanoi and Haiphong in an effort to bring the Democratic Republic of Vietnam back to negotiations.
The recipient will have the opportunity to sign a “Linebacker” football jersey that will be displayed in the Wing Headquarters building.
Way to go, Hayes
