Daniel Weimer, 56th FW command chief, offer well wishes to 56th FW Airmen ahead of a temporary deployment to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, Sept. 13, 2021, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. More than 40 Airmen from the 56th FW deployed to JB MDL in support of Operation Allies Welcome, where they will assist with medical screenings, lodging, and other general support services for Afghan evacuees.. Luke Airmen rapidly mobilized to answer the call for support with less than a four-day notice to assist with the sheltering of thousands of Afghan evacuees from Kabul, Afghanistan.
