HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Lt. Gen. Tom Miller, Air Force Sustainment Center commander; his spouse, Kim Miller; Chief Master Sgt. Robert Schultz, AFSC command chief; and his spouse, Donna Schultz, recently visited Hill Air Force Base for an in-depth look into the mission, capabilities and facilities on the base.
The command team had the chance to visit the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, 75th Air Base Wing and AFSC contracting and engineering units.
The team received mission updates, tours of the 309th Commodities Maintenance Group and 309th Aircraft Maintenance Group, which included updates on the laser depaint facility, the A-10 nacelle and T-38 gearbox production. They also had a chance to visit the recently renovated alert facility, the air traffic control operations center and visit with providers at the 75th Medical Group to discuss resiliency regarding COVID-19 and mental health.
“Our visit to Hill was nothing short of amazing. I was completely impressed by the hard work of both our military and civilian Airmen. Not only did this visit allow us to see firsthand the complexity of the work done by our maintenance crews, but it also provided the opportunity to engage with our Airmen serving in supporting roles to express how critical they are to mission success,” said Chief Master Sgt. Robert Schultz.
The leaders were also flown out to the 12,574 square nautical mile Utah Test and Training Range that is used for training in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat, inert and live practice bombing and test and evaluation for weapons requiring a large safety footprint.
Kim Miller and Donna Schultz had the chance to discuss quality of life issues with local spouses and be briefed on the Exceptional Family Member Program and how it impacts families across the base.
Trips like these are designed for leaders to better understand ongoing missions and gain a better understanding of any issues or special initiatives specific to the base.
