Commander's Message - A Place for Dignity and Respect Published July 6, 2015 By Lt. Gen. Lee Levy Air Force Sustainment Center Tinker Air Force Base, Okla. -- Fellow Airmen, All Airmen, both military and civilian, have a special trust and confidence placed in them to defend our nation. That trust allows our fellow countrymen and women to rest peacefully in the knowledge that a select group of their fellow citizens have stepped forward to provide for the common defense -- that select group is you. Frankly, we should have that same trust in each other and anything that breaks that trust is simply incompatible with our mission. Sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination have no place in our Air Force and no place in the Air Force Sustainment Center. To care for our nation, we must care for each other and give dignity and respect to each teammate. It is how we should behave as Airmen. Everyone on the team has the authority and obligation to intervene when they see a situation that is counter to that standard. The Air Force Sustainment Center can only be successful in supporting the warfighter in an environment where dignity and respect is not a desire, but a mandate...an ingrained way that we do business. I need your help to ensure that mandate is fully understood and followed at all levels across the Sustainment Center. As part of the Air Force Sustainment Center team, you directly deliver readiness to our Air Force enabling our nation to defend against those whom would do us harm. I am proud of you and proud to serve with you as we deliver combat power for America! Your Fellow Airman, R, LKL II LEE K. LEVY II Lieutenant General, USAF Commander
