Maj. William “Chad” Austin, 21st Space Wing Judge Advocate General office, was recently named the 2008 Reginald C. Harmon Award winner.
The Harmon Award recognizes the most outstanding Air Reserve Component officer, in the grade of lieutenant colonel or below, based on training accomplishments or contribution to mission support, exhibition of leadership in the military or civilian community, and enrollment in off-duty programs of professional self-improvement.
“Major Austin is the ultimate force multiplier,” said Lt. Col. Mike Hoversten, 21st Space Wing Staff Judge Advocate. “He assisted the legal office in preparing for the 21st Space Wing’s operational readiness and unit compliance inspections, and then volunteered to deploy to Law and Order Task Force in Iraq in lieu of a 21st Space Wing JAG. They simply don’t come any better than Chad.”
