349th MSG welcomes new commander

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. Brigadier General Thomas Gisler, Commander for the 349th Air Mobility Wing, speaks to over 150 Air Force reservists, active duty, and civilian guests who attended the 349th Mission Support Group assumption of command ceremonies for its new commander, Colonel Linda Harlan, on Sunday, March 11, 2007, here. “There is no question that Colonel Harlan is the right leader for the Mission Support Group,” said General Gisler. “She has 31 years of military experience giving her, the group, and Team Travis invaluable insight. She has the most varied background of any mission support group commander we’ve ever had.” The mission support commander is responsible for a large part of the wing’s mission; having nine squadrons and more than 1,100 people. In charge of the flags during the ceremony is Master Sgt. Neal Ivey, Personal Systems Management, 349th Mission Support Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Wendy Weidenhamer)
