The enlisted airmen of Air Force Materiel Command have bestowed the Order of the Sword upon AFMC boss, Gen. Bruce Carlson. He received the high honor last week during a three-hour special ceremony, attended by nearly 350 airmen. CMSgt. Jonathan Hake, AFMC command chief master sergeant, said Carlson has shown his commitment to the enlisted force by working for “key programs such as quality base housing, infrastructure, and equipment upgrades, along with his focus on professional development and quality of life programs.” (USAF report by John Scaggs)
