U.S. Air Force Col. Wes Adams, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst commander, shares his recollection of memories during the final days of Operation Allies Refuge and the beginning of Operation Allies Welcome at Joint Base MDL, N.J., Aug. 26, 2022. August marks the one year anniversary of OAR, the largest Non-combatant Evacuation Operation Airlift in U.S. History. It also marks the one year anniversary of OAW, the Department of Homeland Security-led effort across the federal government to support Afghans as they safely resettled in the United States.
