Team McChord ready for ORI Published Sept. 22, 2009 By Col. WIlliam Flanigan 446th Airlift Wing commander MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- As the Operational Readiness Inspection approaches, Reservists of the 446th Airlift Wing are fully prepared to put their readiness and skills competency to the test with our partners from the 62nd Airlift Wing and the 319th Air Refueling Wing. We've all been involved and have contributed daily to the C-17 Globemaster III mission here and around the world. And we are all involved in supporting, in whatever way we can, the Team McChord people who are executing this inspection. Reservists of the 446th AW have proven that they can deploy all over the world in support of the Air Mobility Command mission. The inspection is an important assessment tool to make sure all of our deployment skills and processes are up to speed. I know that your experience and expertise will help make this inspection a success. Your positive attitude and energy will contribute to that success as well. We've been running hard for a long time, but I know that each and every one of you will bring a winning attitude to this inspection. Take care of yourselves and your wingmen. I am very proud of each of you.
