Their presentation was part of a “Bosslift” tour, where 32 military support representatives, including business owners and local community leaders, spent a day on base to learn first-hand about the mission of the 446th Airlift Wing. Susan Coulter, a volunteer with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, gave a presentation about ESGR before the group journeyed to the flight line, where members from the 446th Aeromedical Staging Squadron and 446th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron loaded two mock critically-wounded patients onto a C-17 Globemaster III. Reservists from the 446th Security Forces Squadron and firefighters from the 446th CES also exhibited their expertise with the group. They later boarded a C-17, where Reserve pilots and loadmasters performed an air drop training mission. The tour ended after an orientation with the Air National Guard’s Western Air Defense Sector.
