MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The 23d Wing hosted a Squadron Commander Course Aug. 26-27, 2019, here.
The course served as an opportunity for new squadron commanders to learn about different organizations and resources, as well as network with their fellow commanders.
“Bringing the new Moody squadron commanders together provided a forum to get to know each other on a personal level and further understand the resources available to our people,” said Lt. Col. Jessa Kling, 23d Force Support Squadron commander.
Throughout the course, commanders were presented information from various organizations to include: the Key Spouse Program, Airmen and Family Readiness Center, Violence Prevention, Inspector General, Legal Office, Finance, Civilian Personnel Office, Family Advocacy and the 23d Medical Group.
During their time with support agency representatives, commanders had the opportunity to address any questions they had to help broaden their insight and leadership tools. The course also built off of what the commanders were taught during Air Combat Commands’ version of the course.
“(The Squadron Commander Course) supplements the ACC course and provides face time with support agencies through an interactive panel,” said Capt. Bradley Basek, Squadron Commander Course coordinator.
Moody’s mission involves every Airman and their family, making it essential for the commanders to know where resources are and how to connect their team with them to stay mission ready.
“The course offered beneficial information to re-acclimate myself to life at base level,” said Lt. Col. Brian Crooks, 23d Communications Squadron commander. “I aim to use the tools and services offered by the base agencies to aid and assist my Airmen.”
