U.S. Air Force Col. Justin Ballinger, 621st Contingency Response Wing commander, right, his wife Mrs. Leslie Ballinger, middle, and Chief Master Sgt. Jarrod Getz, 621 CRW command chief, introduce themselves and welcomes attendees to the 621 CRW Family Readiness Town Hall event at Travis AFB, Calif., March 31, 2026. First of its kind, the forum was designed to directly address unique challenges faced by the wing's members and dependents by establishing an open dialogue between wing leadership and the families who form the backbone of the "Devil Raider" mission, while also shifting focus to proactive readiness to equip the community with the tools needed long before a crisis occurs.
