IG checks 21 SOPS twice

After a Consolidated Unit Inspection Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, the 21st Space Operations Squadron will undergo another CUI in January as a tenant unit at the 30th Space Wing at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

The 30 SW is receiving a CUI Phase 1 and 2, as opposed to the 50th Space Wing’s Phase 0. Phase 1 and 2 focuses heavily on readiness, including responses and deployments, while Phase 0 is strictly compliance.

“One of the challenges of being a geographically-separated unit is that you have to work with multiple organizations and bridge the gaps between host and parent unit activities,” said Lt. Col. Michael Wulfestieg, 21 SOPS commander. “As a valued mission partner of 30 SW, we will support their inspection at whatever level necessary to prove to the IG that 30 SW can fully execute its mission and all those assigned to this base.”
