“Every building I manage must be ready for whatever threat may come,” O’Hagan said. “From replacing ceiling tiles to inspecting fire extinguishers and coordinating emergency repairs, everything I do supports our defenders and the broader mission of base defense.”
In addition to his primary duties, O’Hagan supports several high level responsibilities. He serves as the squadron’s alternate tactical communications manager, overseeing encryption for secure radio communications, and assists with communication security and equipment acquisition. He is also the alternate unit deployment manager, ensuring readiness of personnel and equipment for real world taskings.
Staff Sgt. Nicholas Keys 51st Security Forces Squadron Unit Deployment Manager, praised O’Hagan for his ability to take on duties usually reserved for noncommissioned officers.
“He’s not just helping, he’s leading,” Keys said. “He’s my alternate on several programs, and he was handpicked because of his initiative, reliability and hunger to make a difference.”
O’Hagan’s efforts directly support the squadron’s mission to deter, defend and defeat threats. His ability to identify and resolve facility issues before they escalate, as well as his seamless integration into additional roles, exemplifies the Mustang spirit of leadership and mission excellence.
