Brig. Gen. Mike Wickman speaks with Al Hurra

The Deputy Commanding General for Maneuver for the Minnesota National Guard's 34th Red Bull Infantry Division and Task Force Spartan, Brig Gen. Mike Wickman, speaks with a reporter from Al Hurra about Task Force Spartan's mission as a part of Operation Spartan Shield.

Task Force Spartan is a unique, multi-component organization, made up of active Army and National Guard units, rounded out by U.S. Army Reserve support units.
Through Operation Spartan Shield (OSS), Task Force Spartan maintains a U.S. military posture in Southwest Asia sufficient to strengthen our defense relationships and build partner capacity.

Units supporting OSS provide capabilities such as aviation, logistics, force protection and information management, and facilitate theater security cooperation activities such as key leader engagements, joint exercises, conferences, symposia and humanitarian assistance/disaster response planning.

More than 650 Soldiers of the Minnesota National Guard's 34th Red Bull Infantry Division Headquarters are on a 10-month long deployment in Kuwait to provide leadership, command, control, and in-depth staff analysis for Operation Spartan Shield.

The deployed Soldiers come from more than 220 communities throughout Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, and several other states. They are expected to return home from deployment in late July of 2019.

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.
