To enhance safety awareness among service members and establish a safety culture within the organization, the Air Force selects outstanding safety units every year. The evaluation comprehensively reflects annual performance in three areas—flight safety management, ground safety management, and safety activity implementation—across all wings, groups, and squadrons.

In this year's assessment, the 3rd Training Wing achieved excellent results in all categories and was selected as the top safety unit, receiving the Chief of Staff's unit citation. In particular, the unit was highly praised for preventing various accidents in advance through a systematic flight safety management system and for safely accomplishing assigned missions.

Additionally, Lieutenant Colonel Choi Sehyun, Head of Safety, Inspector General's Office; Captain Kim Dain of the 215th Flight Training Squadron; and Master Sergeant Lee Giheon of the Aircraft Maintenance Group's Parts Maintenance Squadron, each received individual Chief of Staff commendations for their contributions to strengthening safety management capabilities.

Air Force Chief of Staff Son Seokrak stated, "I extend my congratulations and encouragement to the awarded units and service members," and emphasized, "Safety is ensured only when basic principles are thoroughly observed. I ask you to continue to play a leading role in establishing a safety culture throughout the Air Force."
