The 459th Air Refueling Wing hosted the Maryland Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve on a one-day bosslift to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base; bringing 41 employers and committee members to the 445th AIrlift Wing May 20. The group received 459th ARW and 445th AW mission briefings and spent the afternoon at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The purpose of a bosslift is to let employers see first-hand what reservists and guardsmen do when they are called away from their jobs for a military assignment. The bosslift is primarily funded by the National ESGR Committee, and airlift support comes from reserve and air guard units.
