Set within the austere terrain of the Kuwaiti desert, Camp Arifjan is pivotal for U.S. military operations in the Middle East and serves as a temporary home for many. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Transatlantic Expeditionary District is transforming living conditions with the construction of the Unaccompanied Officers Quarters, a sleek, comfortable facility for 300 U.S. military officers. The project, celebrated with a ribbon-cutting attended by key USACE, U.S. Army Central, Kuwait Ministry of Defense, Kuwait Armed Forces, and U.S. Embassy officials on April 23, marks a significant enhancement of service member life at Camp Arifjan.

“This project in particular holds great importance as it directly enhances the quality of life for our military members deployed to Camp Arifjan and underscores our commitment to their well-being and readiness in fulfilling their missions. This project perfectly aligns with the mission and goals of the Transatlantic Division by providing essential engineering, construction, and contingency support to ARCENT and U.S. CentralCommand. Camp Arifjan's significance as a key base in the Middle East necessitates continuous improvements in force protection and quality of life. This initiative strengthens our ability to effectively operate in the region."." – Brig. Gen. William C. Hannan, Jr., USACE Transatlantic Division commanding general.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
