LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. — The 480th Intelligence Wing salutes its annual award winners for making an exceptional contribution to the wing’s worldwide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations mission.
Two of the recipients are from the 693rd Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconaissance Group at Ramstein:
Senior NCO of the Year:
Master Sgt. Marc Sica
As the theater authority on ISR optimization, Sergeant Sica maxed out the aircraft utilization rate, at the same time balancing national theater requirements for European Command and African Command. He also assembled a decisive hot wash team made up of members from theater, Air Force ISR Agency, Air Combat Command and the Air Staff resulting in the development of three major actions for future ISR operations.
Senior Civilian of the Year:
Patrick D. Masters
Mr. Masters engineered and implemented a new counter IED tactic that resulted in the most dramatic increase in ISR IED findings to date, helping to save the lives of combat troops. In addition, he authored future crew composition for DCGS manning by pioneering the idea of adding analysis/reporting teams to the missions mix.
