Alert Detachment: "MISSION READY!"
A 162nd Fighter Wing F-16 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base sits ready for alert in support of Operation Noble Eagle. During a no-notice NORAD Alert Force Evaluation April 14, the wing's Alert Detachment earned the highest possible marks. Based on a new three-tier rating system, the alert force was rated overall "Mission Ready" with zero findings. Of particular note was the outstanding effort and performance of maintenance at the det which the IG team lead stated, "is the best F-16 maintenance in NORAD." "The pressure of performing superior actions or procedures on a no-notice inspection, for a can-not-fail mission is just outstanding!" said Col. Greg Stroud, 162nd Fighter Wing commander. "My thanks go out to all the personnel at the 162nd and Davis-Monthan who help our air sovereignty alert detachment accomplish the mission." (Air National Guard photo)
