945th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron stands up Published Aug. 10, 2006 By Staff Sgt. Meredith Mingledorff 349th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs 8/10/2006 -- The 945th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron was reactivated in a "stand-up" ceremony June 25. "This is another great day for Team Travis, as we reactivate the 945th AMXS, to serve as proud Reserve partners to our newly formed 860th Maintenance Squadron on the active duty side," said Col. William B. Anholt, 349th Maintenance Group commander. "These two new squadrons, the latest addition to Team Travis, will work together to maintain America's newest and greatest airlifter, the C-17 Globemaster III." The new 200-person Reserve maintenance squadron, commanded by Maj. Roger S. Law, is the descendent of the 938th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Hamilton Air Force Base, Calif., and will be responsible for the delivery and maintenance of 13 new, C-17 Globemaster III aircraft assigned to Travis AFB. During his comments at the ceremony, Colonel Anholt recognized Travis' seamless integration of Reserve, active duty, civilians and contractors to provide "top quality aircraft maintenance to support our air mobility mission." The Colonel made clear that Major Law was a prime example of this type of integration and that he was pleased to see him take command. "Major Law's selection as the first squadron commander of the newly reactivated 945th illustrates this strong sense of team work," said Colonel Anholt. "See, Major Law the Reservist is also Mr. Law, who during the week, serves as Boeing Aircraft's director and manager of the C-17 program here at Travis," he said. "Major Law is a natural choice to lead the 945th, bringing a wealth of knowledge from his civilian job." In his first address to the men and women of the 945th AMXS, Major Law promised his troops his time and commitment. He thanked the squadron for their dedication to military service and assured them that mission success required the help and support of every single member. "I can not do my job without each and every one of you," said Major Law. "It is my job to give you the tools and the training to do the job safely. It's my responsibility, it's your responsibility." Major Law added his troops should maintain high expectations of him and assured the rest of the wing. "The 945th will be ready...we'll let our actions speak louder than words."
