⚡ From the Forward Edge to the front lines of recovery!

Following Super Typhoon Sinlaku, played a critical role in supporting FEMA-led recovery efforts across Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Together, with the 374th Airlift Wing from Yokota Air Base, executed 160 C-130 movements and transported 1.8 million pounds of cargo, including critical humanitarian aid supplies. Coupled with contractor and Non-Governmental Organization aircraft, Airmen processed 3.35 million pounds of cargo for DSCA relief effort.

From Guam to Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, Team Andersen worked alongside joint, interagency, and community partners to help move recovery forward.

As recovery operations conclude, we’re taking a look back at the people, partnerships, and missions that made it possible. 💪🤝

💪🔥 LINEBACKER OF THE WEEK | 1st Lt. Samantha Dougherty

For the past two years, 1st Lt. Samantha Dougherty has served at the heart of the 36th Wing as Executive Officer to the Wing Commander, synchronizing staff actions, mission planning, logistics, and strategic communication across six groups at America’s Forward Edge. 🇺🇸⚡

Through her leadership, Dougherty helped translate commander’s intent into action, strengthening operational readiness and supporting the Wing’s mission across the Indo-Pacific. She also spearheaded the design of Andersen’s first-ever official wing poster — a lasting symbol now displayed proudly in the 36th Wing headquarters. 🖼️🔥

As she transitions back to her career field as a Contracting Officer, her impact on will not be forgotten. While she may be hanging up the Linebacker jersey, her legacy will continue to shape the team for years to come.

Thank you for your leadership and dedication, Lt. Dougherty! 👏

Honoring a legacy that continues to make a difference. 🎒🐾

The 36th Civil Engineer Squadron hosted their second Annual Memorial Ruck in remembrance of Senior Master Sgt. Daniel Wissman, whose impact on and the Guam community continues to be felt following his passing in 2025.

Participants came together to honor Wissman’s legacy by donating more than 4,500 pounds and nearly 300 bags of dog food to GAIN Animal Shelter, a tribute to his deep love for Guam’s stray dogs and his dedication to helping others, both on and off duty. ❤️

Through every step of the ruck and every donation collected, the event reflected the lasting impact one Airman can have on a community.

🔥 Combatives |

Teams stepped onto the mat to sharpen their warrior skills in a randomized single-elimination bracket where every match tested grit, discipline and determination. 🏆💪

Victory could be earned by submission, points or referee decision, and every team member had to compete — no one sat out. 👊

The event challenged competitors to apply Security Forces combatives techniques in live scenarios, showcasing their ability to think fast, stay composed under pressure and dominate through skill and resilience.

No doubt about it, warrior spirit was on full display from start to finish! 💪🔥
