Very many congratulations to Tactical Supply Wing who have been awarded the Sir Joe French Award – awarded to the individual or unit within Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) who has done the most to enhance the reputation of the Royal Air Force in the Joint Service environment.

Winner: Tactical Supply Wing (TSW)

The Citation :

“TSW is a well-kept secret and lives well away from the limelight.  However, if you were to go to Afghanistan, you would find men and women from this unit popping up everywhere – mostly dusty and dangerous places, and some places that only soldiers would usually be expected to tread.  Without them, JHC units would just not function and the Wing is rightfully awarded for its unstinting performance, courage, sheer enthusiasm and dedication”.
