Chief Master Sgt. Ronald Thompson, right, the chief enlisted advisor for the Battlefield Airman Training Group, unfurls the unit’s guidon for Col. Ronald Stenger, the group’s incoming commander, left, and Col. Roy Collins, commander of the 37th Training Wing, during the group’s activation ceremony June 2, 2016, at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. As a result, BA training, which is currently located across eight locations in seven states, will streamline the training pipeline to reduce costs, and lead to improvements and synergies in the process.
