HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- Members of Holloman AFB gathered to honor the 49th Wing’s quarterly award winners and were greeted by Col. Ryan Keeney, 49th Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Temple, 49th Wing command chief, with awards for exceptional performance during the quarter, March 4, here.
To win at the Wing level, nominees first compete and win at the squadron then group levels. Each group then nominates one person for each of the award categories to be reviewed by the Wing’s selection board. The selection board grades each nominee based on their technical expertise, demonstration of leadership and job performance.
