Tennessee Air National Guardsmen from the 134th Air Refueling Wing traveled to Ramstein Air Base, Germany from July 10 - 29, 2024, to work and train alongside their active-duty counterparts in an effort to positively impact processes and procedures of both units.
“It was a really unique opportunity to see how their processes work,” said Senior Airman Preston Baker, 134th Communications Squadron Cyber Defense Operations journeyman. “The work they do here is impactful and to be part of that for these last two weeks is something I’ll carry with me back home.”
A total of 41 Airmen from the Knoxville-based unit took part in the two-week training including maintenance, the I. G. Brown Training and Education Center, and members from the 241st Communication Squadron located in Chattanooga. From grounding cables to ensuring lines stayed connected, these Airmen were happy to assist wherever they could lend a hand.
“They really brought a lot of experienced people on this trip,” noted Staff Sgt. Cody Coulter, 86th Communications Squadron Client Support Systems craftsman. “That really helps us as we discuss procedures and practices with leadership. We also worked with Airmen throughout the sections. Nothing beats working together when you’re in a solution-driven environment.”
With the trip behind them, these Airmen can now find ways to apply the lessons learned in Germany to better their organizations in Tennessee. Implementing the knowledge gained throughout various areas will help them as they move forward in their careers.
“I’m really proud of this group,” said Master Sgt. Brian Biddinger, Mission Support Group first sergeant. “They’ve fostered partnerships with our active-duty brothers and sisters and worked extremely hard. Anytime you can learn a new way to work on your craft, it just gives you more tools to add to your kit.”
