Air Force Lt. Col. Joey Tortella, 902nd Civil Engineer Squadron commander, briefs Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper and Air Force Lt. Gen. Brad Webb, commander of Air Education and Training Command, during a tour of Air Force basic military training’s basic expeditionary airfield resources base at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, June 16, 2020. Esper met with Air Education and Training Command leaders to see firsthand how basic military training is fighting through COVID-19 with health protection measures in place and adapting operations to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. The visit also allowed him to witness how a citizen becomes an airman during the COVID-19 pandemic.
