New wing boss assumes command


 Brig. Gen. (S) Tod Wolt-
ers assumed command from
Brig. Gen. Jack Egginton in
a change of command cer-
emony held Friday in Han-
gar 2.
 Colonel Wolters joins
Team Tyndall from Laugh-
lin Air Force Base, Texas,
where he served as the 47th
Flying Training Wing com-
mander.
 General Egginton moved

of operations at the U. S.

Base, Fla.
 As commander of the
325th Fighter Wing, Colo-
nel Wolters is responsible
for more than 4,800 person-
nel, F-15 and F-22A aircraft,
and providing support for
approximately 1,400 addi-
tional personnel in 30 asso-
ciate units.
 "The biggest challenge
for the wing is to remain fo-
cused on the task at hand,"
the colonel said. "As an Air
Force, we must have the ap-
propriate Airmen to meet
the appropriate mission. We
must tackle this 24/7."
 The wing is the exclusive
active-duty training unit
for F-15 pilots and the only
training location for F-22A
pilots and air battle manag-
ers. The 325th Fighter Wing
is also responsible for train-
ing intelligence officers,
maintainers and other sup-
port specialties for world-
wide assignment to combat
air force units.

you want to get the best train-
ing in air dominance, you go
to the 325th Fighter Wing,"
said Colonel Wolters.
 Colonel Wolters is a 1982
graduate of the U.S. Air
Force Academy. He has


commanded at the squad-
ron, group and wing level,
and he is a command pilot
with more than 4,500 flying
hours in the F-22A, F-15,
OV-10 and T-38.
 "I thank you all for your


service," said Colonel Wolt-
ers.
 "We exist in the Air Force
for one thing only to fight
and win the war."
