First Female Task Group Commander Departs Afghanistan
Wing Commander Thompson and her 75-strong staff at the Control and Reporting Centre in Kandahar have been putting in the hard yards.
The Control and Reporting Centre is responsible for air battle management and airspace safety for the hundreds of military and civilian, manned and unmanned, aircraft that transit Afghanistan’s skies every day.
During her command, WGCDR Thompson’s goal was for the Task Group to work as a well-coordinated team and to achieve the Group’s mission to the highest-possible standard.
