U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ross Kastner, Chief of the Office of Defense Cooperation at the U.S. Embassy in Latvia; Simona Perta, historian with the National Armed Forces Contemporary History Department; U.S. Army Capt. Matt Kankash, Civil Affairs Team 4334, 443rd Civil Affairs Battalion; Andris Sprūds, Latvian Minister of Defense; and Christopher Robinson, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Latvia, discuss the significance of the “Message Follows” exhibit during its opening at the Latvian War Museum, April 11, 2025. The exhibit commemorates the 32-year history of the U.S.-Latvia military partnership, which began in 1993 when Latvian defense forces formalized ties with the Michigan National Guard through the U.S. National Guard Bureau’s State Partnership Program. The exhibit highlights the origins and continued development of U.S.-Latvian defense cooperation, U.S. support for building the Latvian National Armed Forces, and the enduring partnership between the Michigan National Guard and the Latvian National Guard. The continued presence of V Corps in Europe contributes to operational continuity and supports NATO’s mission across a dynamic regional landscape. (U.S. Army video by Staff Sgt. Rose Di Trolio)

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.
