WEBVTT 00:08.670 --> 00:10.789 Ladies and gentlemen , of the 102nd 00:10.800 --> 00:12.911 Intelligence wing , I'm Colonel Wendy 00:12.970 --> 00:15.081 Armijo and I'm honored to present the 00:15.081 --> 00:18.639 first command message for 2024 . I'll 00:18.649 --> 00:20.816 start by sharing some of my priorities 00:20.816 --> 00:23.920 as we embark on the new year . The 00:23.930 --> 00:27.010 first is an all hands on deck effort to 00:27.020 --> 00:29.530 resume DGS Massachusetts operations . 00:30.500 --> 00:33.209 Getting the 102nd ISR group back on 00:33.220 --> 00:34.998 mission is an important step to 00:34.998 --> 00:37.053 establishing a cohesive intelligence 00:37.053 --> 00:39.889 wing that is mission focused and wholly 00:39.900 --> 00:43.419 contributing to the high end fight the 00:43.430 --> 00:45.569 airmen of the 102nd ISR Group have 00:45.580 --> 00:48.200 bolstered their culture of security and 00:48.209 --> 00:50.419 integrity . They have reviewed and 00:50.430 --> 00:53.009 validated processes and they have 00:53.020 --> 00:55.439 trained diligently to maintain currency 00:55.450 --> 00:57.529 on analysis and production skills . 00:58.830 --> 01:01.052 Moreover , the entire wing successfully 01:01.052 --> 01:02.774 demonstrated our commitment to 01:02.774 --> 01:05.010 compliance and our renewed culture of 01:05.019 --> 01:07.029 accountability and oversight . Last 01:07.040 --> 01:09.440 month when the Air Combat command , 01:09.449 --> 01:11.338 Inspector General Teen thoroughly 01:11.338 --> 01:15.120 examined commanders programs . We are 01:15.129 --> 01:18.019 on the right track , intelligence , 01:18.029 --> 01:20.629 communications and DGS mass support 01:20.639 --> 01:22.709 personnel are motivated and ready to 01:22.720 --> 01:24.949 resume intelligence analysis and 01:24.959 --> 01:27.015 contribute to the distributed ground 01:27.015 --> 01:28.949 station enterprise in 2024 01:31.269 --> 01:34.300 second . Let's ensure every airman and 01:34.309 --> 01:36.420 every organization maintains the core 01:36.420 --> 01:38.642 values of the Air Force . As we conduct 01:38.650 --> 01:40.650 our various missions throughout the 01:40.650 --> 01:43.269 wing , we must incorporate service 01:43.279 --> 01:45.959 before self integrity and excellence in 01:45.970 --> 01:49.110 everything we do . We must maintain 01:49.120 --> 01:51.287 readiness to meet home station mission 01:51.287 --> 01:53.790 requirements and to be able to fill 01:53.800 --> 01:56.078 deployment Taskings in the coming year . 01:57.669 --> 01:59.836 As a drill status , guardsman , I know 01:59.836 --> 02:01.891 the toll it takes personally and the 02:01.891 --> 02:04.209 diligence it requires professionally to 02:04.220 --> 02:07.300 maintain readiness . Keeping up with 02:07.309 --> 02:09.476 readiness and training requirements is 02:09.476 --> 02:12.350 hard work . And I commend those who put 02:12.360 --> 02:14.416 service before self and go the extra 02:14.416 --> 02:16.360 mile to ensure they're part of the 02:16.360 --> 02:20.059 ready force . Likewise , we support all 02:20.070 --> 02:22.181 the airmen who may be deployed in the 02:22.181 --> 02:24.181 coming year and we're proud of your 02:24.181 --> 02:27.740 contributions . Integrity is vital to 02:27.750 --> 02:29.917 building a cohesive and effective team 02:29.917 --> 02:32.139 and establishing a culture of trust and 02:32.139 --> 02:34.306 accountability in your organizations . 02:34.520 --> 02:38.029 President Dwight Eisenhower said the 02:38.039 --> 02:39.928 supreme quality for leadership is 02:39.928 --> 02:42.479 unquestionably integrity without it , 02:42.490 --> 02:46.380 no real success is possible and we 02:46.389 --> 02:48.500 must continue to uphold a standard of 02:48.500 --> 02:51.369 excellence . Don't take shortcuts , put 02:51.380 --> 02:53.547 forth your best efforts and insist the 02:53.547 --> 02:56.119 same of those around you . Excellence 02:56.130 --> 02:57.852 ensures we always meet mission 02:57.852 --> 02:59.979 requirements and leads to robust 02:59.990 --> 03:02.323 relationships with our mission partners . 03:04.919 --> 03:07.399 Maintaining core values is only done 03:07.410 --> 03:09.188 through shared efforts , common 03:09.188 --> 03:12.380 principles and hard work . It's 03:12.389 --> 03:14.611 incumbent on supervisors and commanders 03:14.611 --> 03:17.500 to lead the way discrepancies in any of 03:17.509 --> 03:19.789 the core values will degrade readiness , 03:19.800 --> 03:22.630 inhibit teamwork and impede our ability 03:22.639 --> 03:24.750 to contribute to the high end fight . 03:27.660 --> 03:30.330 Finally , I ask commanders and 03:30.339 --> 03:33.449 supervisors to support every airman and 03:33.460 --> 03:35.182 each other through the immense 03:35.182 --> 03:37.410 transition , the wing has endured over 03:37.419 --> 03:40.839 the last nine months , change is often 03:40.850 --> 03:43.229 difficult . Ensuring airmen move 03:43.240 --> 03:45.460 forward in a cohesive manner requires 03:45.470 --> 03:48.479 strong leadership at every level . I 03:48.490 --> 03:51.539 ask NC Os and officers to embrace the 03:51.550 --> 03:54.240 challenge to lead , establish a culture 03:54.250 --> 03:56.270 of positivity , demonstrate 03:56.279 --> 03:58.501 perseverance and have confidence in the 03:58.501 --> 04:01.289 team we've built , show that you care , 04:01.300 --> 04:03.470 admit your own mistakes and always , 04:03.479 --> 04:07.020 always treat others with respect . The 04:07.029 --> 04:09.300 102nd Intelligence Wing endured an 04:09.309 --> 04:12.179 enormous upheaval in 2023 . But I'm 04:12.190 --> 04:14.559 confident that with strong leadership , 04:14.570 --> 04:16.890 we will ensure a healthy and resilient 04:16.899 --> 04:20.540 force . In 2024 . I 04:20.549 --> 04:22.771 encourage commanders and supervisors to 04:22.771 --> 04:24.827 consider these thoughts as you focus 04:24.827 --> 04:26.605 your organizations and lead the 04:26.605 --> 04:28.660 outstanding airmen of this wing into 04:28.660 --> 04:30.850 2024 . I look forward to an official 04:30.859 --> 04:33.459 assumption of command next month and I 04:33.470 --> 04:35.690 wish you all a very happy New Year .
