  • Deployed Airman commemorates Tuskegee Airmen during Black History Month

    Black History Month at the 332nd is a special observance considering the wing traces its roots to WWII and specifically to the Tuskegee Airmen who distinguished themselves in combat.

  • Defenders forge culture of service, remember fallen Airmen

    Expeditionary security forces squadrons share a culture across the globe—wherever the U.S. Air Force needs to fly aircraft into harm’s way. They are there keeping Airmen and resting aircraft safe. They patrol the fence line; control who steps onto the base. They do this with the knowledge that it’s not a safe profession, but an absolutely critical one. At the 332AEW, those Airmen pay homage to this special culture and in particular those who made the ultimate sacrifice while performing missions in dangerous places.
  • Deployed Airman helps enrich marriages while overseas

    The U.S. Military maintains a global presence sending Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines to any number of deployed locations. Missions call service members to aid suffering people in the aftermath of natural disasters, to establish peace in war-torn regions and to fight on behalf of their country. This service requires sacrifice including extended periods away from home. One such Airman is Senior Master Sgt. Bryon Harvey who is nearing the end of a six-month stint in the Middle East where he serves as the first sergeant for the 332d Maintenance Group.

  • Helping Agencies Team proactively connects with Airmen

    When the weight of the world weighs heavily on your mind, the Helping Agencies Team is there to help sort it out. Because circumstances are different for every Airmen, it can be daunting to find out which agency is the appropriate one to provide assistance. In some cases, multiple agencies are involved or able to help. The 332d Air Expeditionary Wing’s Helping Agencies Team, commonly referred to as the HAT, is a group of helping agencies that are united to connect and guide Airmen, building resiliency and providing tools to cope with life challenges and military service. When there is a need they also provide Airmen the resources to get assistance in times when it feels like their world is falling apart. Agencies that make up the HAT are the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, Equal Opportunity office, Inspector General, Legal office, Mental Health, Chapel staff, Victim Advocate, Physical Therapy, and First Sergeants.
