Gen. Duke Richardson, Air Force Materiel Command commander, base leaders and their spouses visited 88th Air Base Wing organizations for an immersion tour Aug. 22.

The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base tour kicked off with a “gate-runner” demonstration planned and controlled by the 88th Security Forces Squadron. During the scenario, a Defender drove a sedan through Gate 15A without properly following base-entry procedures.

A controlled chase ensued and ended near the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. The sedan driver was then stopped and “apprehended” by 88 SFS personnel.

The group also toured a robotics operating room at Wright-Patterson Medical Center, Airmen dorms, the Honor Guard, explosive ordnance disposal unit, crisis-action team, honeybee farm and Military & Family Readiness Center. It concluded with a resiliency discussion by base helping agencies and a Wright-Patt Club visit.

Richardson took command of AFMC in June.
