Here's a "Nifty Nugget" of Air & Space Safety History in recognition of 332d Air Expeditionary Wing Warrior of the Week and Command Post Controller Sergeant Calhoun, whose primary duties during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) included mission monitoring, emergency actions messaging, base-wide alerting and aircrew management.
World War II, the Berlin Blockade, the Korean War and the Vietnam War all demonstrated the US' need to logisticate a transportation system for national security. Dispatched by a 24/7 Watch Team of Command Post Controllers from within the Pentagon's National Military Command Center, the US Air & Space Force does the heavy lifting of global logistics for regional Combatant Commanders via the US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). USTRANSCOM logisticates this transportation system in the form of full-spectrum global mobility solutions such as Crew Resource Management (CRM), a term coined in 1979 by NASA psychologist John Lauber.
