375th AMW inspection team sworn in Published Nov. 7, 2013 By Airman 1st Class Joshua Eikren 375th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- The Scott Wing Inspection Team was sworn in by Col. Kyle Kremer, 375th Air Mobility Wing commander, Oct. 25 at Scott Air Force Base. The Wing Inspection Team is made up of subject matter experts from across the 375th Air Mobility Wing, who augment the 375th AMW Inspector General's staff during exercises and while executing a Commander's Inspection Program. "Personnel selected to be a WIT member must possess attributes of the highest professional standards and moral character," said Charley Mills, 375th Air Mobility Wing director of inspections. "Additionally, WIT members should demonstrate adherence to the Air Force core values." WITs are used in conducting readiness, compliance and no-notice inspections throughout the year. These inspections can be at the level of groups, squadrons, staff agencies or other organizations below the wing level. Mills said some specific duties include providing inputs for scenario development, inspecting assigned areas and functions, evaluating scenarios, participating in the hot wash and providing inputs to the inspection report. Every wing level unit will be looked at through a series of inspection venues throughout the inspection cycle. This includes one compliance inspection, one no-notice inspection, four self-assessment reviews, and a series of readiness inspections. "Under the new construct of the wing IG, the wing commander has tasked the IG to validate and verify the Unit Self-Assessment Program effectiveness as well as providing an unbiased independent assessment of all unit and wing programs," said Mills. The WIT will assist the wing IG in validating and verifying the wing, group and squadron self-assessment program results. "A hot wash will be done after inspections to bring commanders together and show any deficiencies within the units," said Lt. Col. Peter Jenness, 375th Air Mobility Wing Inspector General. The IG will focus on the ability to execute the mission, how resources are managed and how effective leadership performs. This look will determine whether or not unit commanders are enabling their people to be better stewards for the United States Air Force. Jenness added, "With this new program, our goal is to raise the bar and increase readiness while reducing the amount of effort the units use to do so."
