U.S. Army Soldiers, Family members and friends witnessed the 14th Field Hospital commander, Col. Edgardo Ramirez, relinquish command to Lt. Col. Michael D. April during a ceremony at Alwyn Cashe Garden on Fort Stewart, Georgia, May 12, 2023. Formal change of command ceremonies are rooted in the Army tradition of ensuring a unit’s Soldiers witnessed the passing of authority from one commander to another. Col. Laurel A. Neff, commander of the 16th Hospital Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, officiated the ceremony. The 14th Combat Support Hospital, originally located at Fort Benning, reflagged as the 14th Field Hospital on Aug. 17, 2021, as part of the Army's force design update in pursuit of the Army of 2030 concept. The unit provides an expeditionary Role 3 health service support, including early-entry hospitalization, rapidly employable resuscitation and surgery to increase personnel survivability anywhere in the world. Ramirez, who hails from Puerto Rico, assumed command at the unit's activation and oversaw several field exercises and a team's deployment to provide COVID-19 defense support of civil authorities in Rhode Island. April recently served as the commander of the 40th Forward Resuscitative Surgical Detachment at Fort Carson, Colorado.

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.
