The event kicked off with presentations from members of the 17th TRW. They educated base personnel on the threat of opposing forces and what actions can be taken today to build a better Air Force for tomorrow.

Col. Matthew Norton, 17th TRW commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Derek Neil, 17th TRW command chief, took the floor to address the formation. Col. Norton spoke about key initiatives as the wing enters 2026, designed to maintain excellence, modernize infrastructure, and deepen community partnerships. Chief Master Sgt. Neil reinforced these initiatives with a new wing vision statement: “Every Raider Ready,” emphasizing the importance of individual readiness to accomplish the mission.

Following words from the command team, the ceremony shifted to quarterly awards, a tradition that honors exceptional individuals for their outstanding contributions to the 17th TRW mission.
