THE LEGACY CONTINUES
1st Expeditionary Rescue Group's Warrior of the Week for the week of Feb. 6, 2022, is Staff Sgt. Ashlee Graham, 801st Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron Mission Readiness Spares supply technician.
Within 10-days of her arrival to the 332d Air Expeditionary Wing, Graham had coordinated with the 386th Logistics Readiness Squadron at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, for the delivery of a replacement HC-130J propeller. She also expedited the inventory of approximately 8,000 items for the 801st EMXS Mobility Readiness Spares and Parts kit within three days.
“Ashley was nominated because we've been trying to get that prop for about five weeks and she was able to coordinate for us to get it almost instantly,” said 1st Lt. Colleen Sullivan, 801st EMXS HC-130J officer in charge.
Graham explained how her time at the 332d AEW has been an eye opener to the importance of her job.
“Supporting the 332d AEW is a great opportunity because it reminds me of why what I do is important,” said Graham. “It feels good to just be a part of a team and be right here on the front line. As a supply troop, I don't usually get to see the impact of our job firsthand but now I can immediately see the importance of what I do for the big picture.”
