Ramstein welcomes new commander Story and photos by Senior Airman Andrew Bertain 86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs The 86th Airlift Wing welcomed its new commander, Brig. Gen. Otis C. Jones, at Ramstein Air Base, July 15. Brig. Gen. Josh Olson relinquished command of the 86 AW to Jones during a change of command ceremony presided over by Maj. Gen. Derek France, Third Air Force commander. During the ceremony, France reflected on Olson’s time as the wing commander and thanked him for his service and leadership to the wing. “General Olson, it’s been fun watching you and (your wife) Barb lead Team Ramstein the past two years,” said France. “Ramstein could not have asked for a better command team to make it through some significant storms and challenges. You’ve been in the global spotlight and you have shined.” See NEW COMMANDER, Page 3
