- (Voiceover) Present, arms!

00:07.331 --> 00:09.571
- (Voiceover) The 6th Airmobility Wing, mission partners

00:09.571 --> 00:12.241
and distinguished guests from the community gathered

00:12.241 --> 00:15.036
to oversee Colonel Daniel Tulley pass command

00:15.036 --> 00:19.195
of the 6th Airmobility Wing to Colonel April Vogel.

00:19.195 --> 00:20.938
Colonel Vogel comes to McDill from

00:20.938 --> 00:24.454
the 175th Wing of Warfield Air National Guard Base,

00:24.454 --> 00:27.721

00:34.373 --> 00:35.873
to lead this wing.

00:36.206 --> 00:38.143
It's a huge responsibility with all the things that

00:38.143 --> 00:39.827
I've described that's happened over the course

00:39.827 --> 00:42.518
of the last two years, but there's no doubt in my mind

00:42.518 --> 00:44.430
you're ready to do that.

00:44.430 --> 00:47.378
What we care about as we go through this process

00:47.378 --> 00:50.262
is we want to make sure that our most precious resource,

00:50.262 --> 00:52.886
and it's the airmen that are standing out there,

00:52.886 --> 00:55.386
have the best leader possible.

00:56.564 --> 00:58.668
And that's Colonel April Vogel.

01:00.850 --> 01:04.041

- I'm proud to serve as your wing commander,

01:06.206 --> 01:08.695
and I'm committed to continuing the tradition

01:08.695 --> 01:11.230
