Maj. Kregg Smith (right), operations officer in the 419th Logistics Readiness Squadron, describes how the newly created deployment readiness cell will streamline pre-deployment and post-deployment processes for Airmen Mar. 6, 2021, at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. Various offices and functions were consolidated to a single location in order to reduce the time needed to get Airmen ready for deployment. The cell is expected to reduce the time needed to accomplish readiness items from five days to one. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Erica Webster)
