7 year old e-mails, I would be curious to know,as a non-AF guy, what is his command and what is its most important function in the USAF . Thanks Jet just trying to get context.
A vice commander at wing level handles the day to day operations for the the Base Commander. He is responsible for the Group Commanders, then the Squadron Commanders.
If this happened seven years ago, the guy was probably a Major.
The responsiblities he has currently are considerable.
