CREECH AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. - Gen. Norton Schwartz and his wife Suzie visited Creech and Nellis Air Force Bases, to meet with Airmen and get a first-hand look at operations.

This was General Schwartz's first visit to both bases since becoming the 19th chief of staff. He said it was important for him to visit Creech and see the 432nd Wing and 432nd Air Expeditionary Wing operations because the UAS capability plays a critical role in mission success. In addition, he wanted to let Airmen here know leadership is here to support them.

"UAS is a game-changing capability and vital to the global war on terrorism and it is no surprise that these systems are in such high demand with the combatant commanders," General Schwartz said. "We know this demand has created some challenges and the Airmen here at Creech have stepped up in answering those challenges. "

The Air Force chief of staff said that with the increasing UAS demands, senior leadership understands their responsibility to provide what's necessary to meet requirements.

"The Air Force is dedicated to increasing equipment, training and operations capacity as quickly as possible to help win the fight," he said.
