NEWS NOVEMBER, 2017

Welcome to November UTA!!Happy FALL everyone!

MESSAGE FROM CHIEF MARK PRIZINA: For the past two weeks, the 152nd Communications Flight, Nevada Air National Guard, using the Joint Incident Site Communications Capability system, or JISCC, has provid-ed communications for the medical and support elements working the northern California wildfires.

152nd Airlift Wing Command Chief Master Sgt. Mark Prizina visited the Nevada Airmen last week and had this to say:

“I had the privilege to join up with the team Thursday to assess the damage and witness firsthand the amazing support that the JISCC and the highly skilled Airmen from our Communications Flight have provided to first responders and the California Army National Guard. To hear Capt. Greg Green, Communications Flight Commander, put it into perspective made me realize that the Nevada National Guard’s capability in these des-perate times makes all the difference to the citizens in these communities devastated by natural disasters. The Nevada Air Guardsmen helped the Red Cross in a variety of ways: established internet, telephone and fax connectivity; provided laptops as well as aided the California Army Na-tional Guard with similar communications. I’m extremely impressed by the work they are doing in California.”

RENO, Nev. -- The Nevada Air National Guard’s 192nd Airlift Squadron, based here in Reno, flew a mission shuttling food and supplies to Puerto Rico on Wednesday, October 18.

Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico in September, marring the tropi-cal island, and left it without many of the basic necessities such as fresh water, power and a working airport.

The National Guard Bureau directed this humanitarian mission. Its purpose was to help Puerto Ricans recover from Hurricane Maria by

Without hesitation I walked to the edge of the plane — toes dangling 10,000 feet above ground. All I could see were the fields, build-ings and cars appearing the size of ants. Was I really doing this?

Only moments before, during this early Oc-tober day in northern Nevada, I was with my family, on the ground, at the Minden-Tahoe Airport Aviation Roundup Air Show.

This was very different than the ground.

Master Sgt. Ryan Hysell, a dedicated family man and 152nd Mainte-nance Group mechanic with a keen knowledge of the inner-workings of C-130 aircraft, died October 9.

He was 35.“When it came to C-130 maintenance, he was one of the smartest guys

to ever come out of the 152nd Airlift Wing,” said Master Sgt. Michael Faulkenberry, a fellow 152nd aircraft crew chief.

“Master Sgt. Ryan Hysell’s passing this week was a tremendous loss to the maintenance group,” Col. David Manson, 152nd Maintenance Group
