The Reservists of the 446th Airlift Wing are in the fight every day. They deploy to the Middle East and train at McChord Field. Despite their rigorous schedule, Reservists in the wing were still able to prepare and pass a major inspection focused on processes and documentation.
The 446th Airlift Wing's Compliance Inspection was May 20-23 at McChord Field. A team of 43 inspectors, representing all functions from Robins Air Force Base, Ga., Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command, came to ensure the 446th AW is mission ready, which people of the unit proved beyond a shadow of a doubt.
"The competition lies within our own performance, and the 446th AW did better than itself three years ago," said Col. Lane Seaholm, vice commander of the 446th AW. "Add this to the constant high operations tempo our teams deal with, and we can see that we are blessed with the best Airmen this country has to offer."
In addition to a passing grade, individuals and teams were singled out for notable contributions. An aircraft maintainer from the 446th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron received an outstanding performer award. Eight Reservists were named superior performers, the military pay section was recognized as a superior team, and six members were awarded a military bearing award.
The purpose of a Compliance Inspection is to standardize the way the Air Force conducts operations across the board including active duty, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard. The inspection was based on Air Force Instructions, local, state, federal, and Department of Defense requirements.
