2015 Omaha Trophy

U.S. Air Force Col. Brian McDaniel, 92nd Air Refueling Wing commander, provides remarks after accepting the 2015 Omaha Trophy, strategic aircraft category, on behalf of his unit during an award ceremony at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., March 14, 2016. U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Stephen W. Wilson (not pictured), U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) deputy commander, and Mr. W. Gary Gates (not pictured), Strategic Command Consultation (SCC) Committee member, presented the trophy to McDaniel and other base leaders in recognition of the 92nd Air Refueling Wing’s contributions to USSTRATCOM’s global strategic missions. The Omaha Trophy, which dates back to the U.S. Air Force’s Strategic Air Command, was originally created by the SCC in 1971. At the time, a single trophy was presented annually as a token of appreciation to USSTRATCOM’s best wing. Since then, the tradition has evolved to unit-level awards that recognize the command’s premier intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) wing, ballistic missile submarine, strategic bomber wing and global operations (space/cyberspace) unit. This year, a new category was added to include the combatant command’s top strategic aircraft wing. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Sean Campbell)
