The Heart of the Devil Raiders: A Salute to Spouses Published Feb. 19, 2026 By 1st Lt. Jessica McLaughlin 621st Contingency Response Wing Public Affairs JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, NEW JERSEY -- Devil Raiders are the force that brings order to chaos, operating on the front lines of contingency operations around the globe. Their work demands focus and dedication. But their ability to succeed in these demanding jobs is deeply connected to the encouragement they receive at home. Devil Raiders provide a foundation of stability and encouragement that allows service members to face any challenge with confidence, knowing their families are strong and cared for. Being a Devil Raider spouse means navigating a life of unique challenges. From managing the household during deployments to creating a new home after every move. They are the constants in a life of change, the leaders on the home front who build connections and look out for one another. They are the heroes who foster a close-knit and supportive community, ensuring that no family feels alone. This quiet, steady reassurance is the strength that holds the Wing together. To help foster this sense of community, each squadron has volunteers who make up the Commander's Key Support Program. These individuals, known as Key Support Liaisons (KSLs), act as a friendly and reliable link between unit leadership and families. They are trained to be a listening ear, a source of information, and a guide to the many resources available. Their work is a testament to the spirit of service that defines the Devil Raider community. This year, the 621st Contingency Response Wing is proud to recognize two of its most dedicated Key Support Liaisons as annual award winners for their outstanding contributions. Mrs. Jessica Domincovitch of the 621st Contingency Response Squadron has been instrumental in organizing squadron events, streamlining communications, and ensuring members and their families receive the support they need both on and off base. Similarly, Mrs. Jessica P. Chasteen, serving the 821st Contingency Response Squadron, has provided immense support through multiple deployments, created opportunities for spouses to make connections, and partnered closely with the Military & Family Readiness Center. Their work is a testament to the spirit of service that defines the Devil Raider community. The success of the 621st Contingency Response Wing is about more than just the mission; it's about the people who help enable the mission. The 621 CRW extends deep gratitude to the Devil Raider Key Support Liaisons who are an essential part of the team. Their unwavering efforts make everything possible.
