"I am confident that Chief Baber will continue building on the foundation of resilience, empowerment, and professionalism institutionalized by Command Chief Masters (expected to depart HQ ARPC later this month)," said HQ ARPC Commander Kelli Smiley. "As our Senior Enlisted Leader, Chief Baber will be a champion for the men and women of ARPC and represent us with strategic excellence at the MAJCOM and throughout the AF community!"

Beginning in October, the A1 directorate will have a team available to provide support to the field on all primary unit training assembly weekends.

"It is so critical for each of us in the Air Force Reserve to understand why we serve, how our individual piece contributes to the bigger picture and why what we do is so important . . . . If we don’t know why we’re doing what we’re doing, we won’t give our very best effort and if we don’t give our very best effort, we start to let things slip and then we start to fail." #ReserveReady #ReserveResilient
