The 86th Medical Logistics Flight was named the 2011 Air Force Medical Service Outstanding Medical Logistics Large Activity Account of the Year.

Their outstanding teamwork at the Ramstein clinic in peace time operations and their support of contingency operations contributed significantly to the award.

“Being able to have the pride of being selected as the best team in the Air Force is a great feeling. It makes me extremely proud of all their hard work,” said Maj. Joseph Indomenico, 86th MDG Medical Logistics Flight commander.

The award recognized their innovations, contributions and accomplishments in clinical support, wounded warrior support, humanitarian and contingency operations, as well as special operations support.

A few of their many accomplishments include managing the Air Force’s third largest war reserve material, governing the busiest department of defense patient movement items, assembling 113 cargo pallets during the 86th Airlift Wing’s Operational Readiness Inspection earning them an “excellent” rating while the flight was rated “outstanding.”

“It was great for me to make it to the next level after being nominated and winning at USAFE level,”  said Master Sgt. Brian Davis, 86th MLF clinical engineering section chief.

“It’s validation for all of the hard work and great things that we have done this year,” Indomenico said.
