BreeAnn Sachs 49th Wing Public Affairs HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- The 49th Wing honored their 2019 commanders emeritus and honorary commanders during a ceremony here, May 31, 2019.

The designation of commander emeritus is the highest honor the 49th Wing can present a civilian civic leader. Established in 2019, this distinction honors former honorary commanders and Holloman wingmen and allows them to continue serving the local military community. Below are the 2019 commanders emeritus.
