John Gustafson, center, commander of the 386th Expeditionary Mission Support Group, tours a new facility for the Force Protection Flight, during a ribbon cutting ceremony at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, Feb 14, 2022. This is the first permanent structure on base that coupled U.S. building standards with local standards, using a lot of local material, which decreased cost and construction time.
