File: 970207_aadcd_014.txtThe 5th Tactical Aeromedical Staging Facility performed it's mission during Operation Desert Shield/Storm in an outstanding manner. Personnel from five separate units were brought together to fulfill it's mission is an environment and an operational situation here-to-fore never contemplated nor practiced in an exercise. The 5th TAC ASF was able to build its facility, equip same, train it's personnel and be operational in just a 5 day period of time. It performed 15 strategic aeromedical missions flawlessly and could easily have sustained a work load far in excess of what it actually experienced. There were many harrowing experiences, difficult obstacles and operational situations to overcome, but the people of this unit worked together to overcome all of its problems and performed professionally and outstandingly well. The morale of the unit was always excellent. The performance of all individuals met or exceeded all mission requirements. People worked tirelessly to meet our mission goals and with all of our efforts we succeeded in molding an outstanding organization. I am proud of this unit s accomplishments and of the people who made it all happen. [(b)(6)] JOHN H.
