Another successful year in the books.

The impact our Arctic Guardians have across the wing, the state, and around the globe resonate far beyond ceremonial recognition.

Congratulations to this year’s 176th Wing annual award winners. Your effect is far-reaching and not unnoticed.

Last week the Maintenance Group Changed command from Col. Michael Cummings to Col. Jessica Pisano!

“For 70 years the Maintenance Group of this wing has been the bedrock of our capabilities. You are the engine of the 176th. When looking for someone to command a group this complex you need a master of the craft.”

– Brig. Gen. Armstrong, 176th Wing Commander

Congratulations to Col. Pisano and thank you Col. Cummings for your years of leadership!
