Air Mobility Command Airman of the Year for 2011

Senior Airman Ryan Smith, from the 3rd Aerial Port Squadron at Pope Field, N.C., is the 2011 Air Mobility Command Airman of the Year. Smith is an air transportation Airman, or aerial porter, who works as a passenger service agent with the 3rd APS at Pope Field. In 2011, he helped move more than 200,000 passengers on more than 10,000 missions, supporting in-garrison and overseas contingency operations. During his recent deployment, Smith assisted an aeromedical evacuation squadron with the upload of 90 critically-wounded casualties, “ensuring rapid life-saving treatment and airlift to definitive care.” Additionally, as the vice president of Pope’s Airman Against Drunk Driving, he organized 41 wingman saves -- providing fellow Airmen a safe ride home and preventing possible alcohol-related incidents.
