Ramstein Air Base, Germany, 03/18/2021: A U.S Air Force noncommissioned officer assigned to the 86th Security Forces Squadron was recognized as Airlifter of the Week for her outstanding drive and focus at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, March 18, 2021.
Tech. Sgt. Samantha D. Williams, 86th SFS, commanded 12 exercises, to validate readiness and fortify Ramstein’s installation access control points.
As the NCOIC of standardardization and evaluation section, Williams is responsible for many tasks, including training inspection and test evaluations for Security Forces Airmen. When Defenders are ready for duty of position evaluations, Williams performs a verbal question test and runs the Defenders through an exercise, once back at their duty post. “The exercise can be an active shooter, drunk driving, anything depending on their duty position,” Williams said.
Williams was hand selected by the Air Force Security Forces Center to help update the career field with more than 900 tasks that included what will be taught in Security Forces training guides, special knowledge tasks and much more.
“Can we change this, can we update this, do we need to delete this task, or do we need to move this somewhere else?” William asked. “These are the types of changes that will affect 38,000 future Defenders.”
