Summary

U.S. Navy Adm. Cecil D. Haney, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) commander (right), speaks to security forces Airmen from the 341st Missile Wing during his visit to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch facility near Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., March 30, 2016. While there, Haney and Mr. David G. Brown (not pictured), Strategic Command Consultation (SCC) Committee member, presented the 2015 Omaha Trophy, ICBM category, to U.S. Air Force Col. John T. Wilcox II, 341st Missile Wing commander (not pictured) and Team Malmstrom, in recognition of the wing's contributions to USSTRATCOM's global strategic missions. The Omaha Trophy, which dates back to the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command, was originally created by the SCC in 1971. At the time, a single trophy was presented annually as a token of appreciation to USSTRATCOM's best wing. Since then, the tradition has evolved to unit-level awards that recognize the command's premier ICBM wing, ballistic missile submarine, strategic bomber wing and global operations (space/cyberspace) unit. This year, a new category was added to include the combatant command's top strategic aircraft wing. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman Daniel Brosam)
