Altus AFB, Okla. (KSWO) - Altus Air Force Base celebrated some of their exceptional airmen earlier this month.

TSgt. Miniesha Gomes Cuadrado from the 56th Air Refueling Squadron was coinded by Colonel Richard Kind for winning the Air Education and Training Command’s (AETC) 2025 Aviation Resource Management NCO of the year Award.

The 56th ARS also won AETC’s Top Operations Squadron in the Mobility and Special Operations .
