Pacific Air Forces announced their recipients of the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award April 6. The 8th Fighter Wing earned the award for exceptional meritorious service for the period of Nov. 1, 2013 through Oct. 31, 2015.

According to the award’s description, AFOUAs are given to numbered units that have distinguished themselves by exceptionally meritorious service or outstanding achievement that clearly sets the unit above and apart from similar units.

“This award speaks to all the great work the Wolf Pack puts in ensuring we’re able to stand with our Republic of Korea teammates protecting the 50 million residents of this country,” said Col. Jeremy Sloane, 8th Fighter Wing commander. “Wolf Chief and I are honored to serve with the Wolf Pack and everyone who had a hand in helping the wing earn this award the past two years should be proud of their efforts.”

The 8th Force Support Squadron’s Military Personnel Section will conduct a batch update for Airmen currently assigned to the 8th FW who were here during the award period. Personnel who have since had a permanent change of station or permanent change of assignment and are entitled to share in the unit award should report to their local FSS for assistance.

Air Force civilian employees should report to their servicing Civilian Personnel Section to have the award documented in the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System and receive the appropriate lapel pin.

Veterans should report to their local Veterans Administration offices for assistance.
