Four 315th Airlift Wing officers were among the list of Reservists who were selected for colonel according to a release from the Air Reserve Personnel Center today.

The following 315th AW officers were selected:

  • Lt. Col. Gordon Fornell, 300th Airlift Squadron
     
  • Lt. Col. Cheryl Gates, 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron
     
  • Lt. Col. Brent Merritt, 317th Airlift Squadron
     
  • Lt. Col. Edwin Newman II, 315th Aerospace Medicine Squadron

"The commander, Col. Jamie Fontanella and I would like to extend our congratulations to each of our new colonel-selects," said Col. Scott Sauter, 315th AW vice commander. "Promotions at this level are extremely competitive. And with four total from across the 315th Airlift Wing, we are genuinely pleased, and quite proud of our selects. Well done everyone!"

AFRC promotions to the grade of colonel require Senate confirmation. After Senate confirmation, officers will be promoted in increments announced by HQ USAF/REP. HQ ARPC/PBE will publish promotion orders at the appropriate time and will enter selection data in MILPDS. Orders announcing the promotion will be published and posted in a member's Personnel Records Display Application, including orders for limited extended active duty officers selected by Reserve Active Status List promotion boards.
