United States Forces Korea senior enlisted advisor Army Command Sgt. Maj. Barry Wheeler recently stopped by Kunsan AB, South Korea, to see how the airmen of the Wolf Pack and the US Army soldiers who support them with Patriot batteries are faring. Wheeler noted that USFK officials are trying to make Korean assignments “a little more normal” and see quality of life improvements coming as USFK downsizes the number of facilities on the peninsula.
Airmen and Guardians in the Active and Reserve component, as well as civilian employees, in “mission critical and high-risk populations” are now required to receive influenza vaccinations annually to “preserve force readiness,” according to a recent Department of the Air Force memo.
