U.S. Air Force Col. John Berger, 62d Airlift Wing Deputy commander, left, Samantha Milward, 62d AW Office of the Staff Judge Advocate discharge paralegal, Victim and Witness Assistance Program coordinator, and 2025 62d AW Category I Civilian of the Year, center, and Chief Master Sgt. Mathew Hill, 62d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Chief Enlisted leader, right, pose for a photo at Joint Base Lewis McChord, Washington, March 6, 2026. Milward is from Montana and as a discharge paralegal, she works with command teams to process involuntary administrative military separations, ensuring all administrative separations for service members are handled with precision and care. As a VWAP coordinator, she is dedicated to supporting victims and witnesses of crimes by providing them with the resources, information, and assistance they need throughout the justice process. “I am driven by a deep passion for law and justice and a strong sense of duty to my country,” said Milward. “Being a military spouse has given me a unique perspective on the importance of service. My work is more than a job; it's my personal way of contributing to the Air Force community and ensuring that the processes that govern our service members are executed with integrity and fairness. Thank you to my husband for being my number one supporter and motivation to do better every day. Additionally, my JA team is the best team out there and I am honored to work alongside them.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Colleen Anthony)
