JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
Tech. Sgt. Karen Blackburn is the 11th Wing's Warrior of the Week. She was recognized June 18 for her hard work, diligence and dedication to accomplish a top priority for the 11th Wing commander.
Blackburn, a controller at the Andrews Regional Command Post, was given charge of overseeing the creation of an alternate command post location for the region. She worked numerous hours passed her regular duty day to bring the project to operational capacity ahead of schedule.
"It was enlightening to see the amount of work that was put in behind the scenes to get the job done," Blackburn said.
The project brought a few unforeseen obstacles along the way, but Blackburn and her crew overcame them to ensure the 11th Wing's goal of mission execution and readiness.
A native of Flint, Michigan, Blackburn joined the Air Force in June 2003. In addition to her duties at the command post, she is working toward a bachelor's degree in cognitive studies.
