News for the Ramstein, Kaiserslautern, Landstuhl & Baumholder military communities in Germany The golden rule with relationships professionally and personally holds that respect is a reciprocal and two-way process. This rule can be a tool in the toolkit of every Airman — where we treat people with consideration and esteem and value their worth.
One of the most important things I have learned in the Air Force is to listen.
Airmen are no strangers to change. Our Air Force was born from change after an exhausting world war when nations were recovering and healing emotionally, physically and financially.
Slightly more than a decade ago, our Air Force senior leadership, recognizing a lack of diversity in the Air Force officer corps, began an effort to improve diversity.
In early 2012, a team was created to renew Ramstein’s custodial contract. U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa strategic sourcing section paired the effort with Spangdahlem Air Base.
Dwight Eisenhower would often quote 19th century Prussian field marshal Helmuth von Moltke the elder by stating, “Plans are nothing; planning is everything.” Von Moltke also wrote, “No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force,” which we have reduced to the axiom, “No plan survives first contact with the enemy.”

Since taking command on June 10th, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of the great Airmen from the 86th Airlift Wing. It is a privilege to serve with you, the men and women who provide combat airlift and operate the Air Force’s premier installation to enable and assure strategic capabilities.
Even though I have been a squadron commander for three years, I have been an Air Force mental health provider for more than 21 years.
