Since some time at EAF51, we are thinking about how to better support the Wing organization, taking into consideration that some key people are on very long leave due to RL complications. We wanted to give better support to the SQ/L’s, particularly for what is concerned to the Wing operational organization and activities.
For this reason, after hering the opinion of the EAF51 SQ/L’s, and after the approval of the EAF HQ’s, I am pleased to announce the following re-organization within the Wing Chain of Command:
20° Gruppo:
F/O Redthorn is promoted to Fl/LT and transferred from 155°° Gruppo to 20° Gruppo, where he will support Sq/L Nepe as new Group XO.
Redthorn’s promotion is motivated by his strong continuous support to all EAF51, in technical issues as well as operational issues, and his strong committment in organization of SEOW participation for the whole EAF51 Wing.
He will continue to support the 51° Stormo SEOW deloyment as EAF51 Ops. Officier.
155° Gruppo:
F/O Banzai is promoted Fl/LT and XO for 155° Gruppo, supporting Sq/L Wwwolf in Group leadership. In the mean time he will keep is role as T/O.
Banzai promotion to XO is motivated by the good job done as T/O, and the strong continuous committment and support to all EAF51, specifically in keeping the team together, also in case of strong internal discussions.
Please join me in congratulations to newly appointed XO’s, with the best wishes for the new challenges they are going to face.
Dismitted! 
Wing Commander Bear
C.O. 51° Stormo European Air Force
