19th Airlift Wing priority portrayed and why?
As the 19th Medical Group’s primary Unit Deployment Manage, Johnson steered 42 training events to prepare medics for deployment. He realigned 166 medics to the new AFFORGEN structure four months ahead of schedule.
Additionally, he fortified Total Force Integration by conducting AFSC training for two reservists on 80 tasks and UDM functions, enabling the deployment of three reservists to three areas of responsibility.
Finally, as the local Air Force Sergeants Association chapter membership chair, Johnson recently recruited 10 members and ran t-shirt sales for the annual POW/MIA vigil and 24-hour run. He raised $400 and honored our missing and fallen.
