12/4/2011 - A year ago, the 403rd Wing Financial Management Analysis Office accepted a challenge proposed by the Air Force Reserve Command’s Comptroller and Financial Management Headquarters – decorate one of the classrooms at Allee Hall to the future leaders of the United States Air Force. The Murals of the Air Force Reserve symbolize our thanks for the dedication and service these new leaders will provide to the Airmen of tomorrow. There are six murals displayed in the one of the Financial Management Comptroller classrooms, each contributing a significant part in telling the story of the Air Force Reserve.

12/4/2011 - The first mural contains the current aircraft inventory of the Air Force Reserve. Each of the aircraft contributes a specific role in fulfilling Reserve obligations and carrying out various missions both independently and along side active-duty counterparts. The F-22 Falcon is the focus element of this mural, as it is the newest addition to our inventory and the most advanced fighter aircraft to date. (U.S. Air Force Graphic by Capt. J. Justin Pearce)

12/4/2011 - The third mural depicts the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve program. Since the majority of reservists are traditional reservists with full-time civilian employment, this program aids in strengthening the relationship between reservists and their employers. This provides reservists with a smoother transition from civilian to military commitments. (U.S. Air Force Graphic by Capt. J. Justin Pearce)

12/4/2011 - The fourth mural showcases the Band of the United States Air Force Reserve. It is the oldest band, active or reserve, assigned to the Air Force, having continued from its formation in 1941 to the present without a break in service. The band was formed Oct. 1, 1941 at Mitchell Field, New York, as the First Air Force Band. The band travels in excess of 100,000 miles per year, performing more than 400 concerts extensively throughout their primary geographic area of Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. The band has also played in many overseas locations, including Russia, Italy, Turkey, Portugal, Antigua, Panama, Germany, Australia and the Caribbean. All members of the Band of the U.S. Air Force Reserve are full-time professional Air Force musicians working in support of Air Force Reserve recruiting and community relations objectives.

12/4/2011 - The fifth mural depicts what could be considered the foundation or core of the Air Force Reserve - the Unit Training Assembly, more commonly known as “drill”. The Unit Training Assembly provides Air Force reservists the opportunity to train the way they fight so they can help support the Air Force mission. One weekend a month, reservists gather together with the unit members at their base to practice the job skills acquired during their initial technical training. The work performed during UTAs allows them to keep up to date and increase their expertise in their individual military professions. The training received during UTAs helps these Citizen Airmen remain fit to fight so they can serve their country when called upon, both at home and around the world. (U.S. Air Force Graphic by Capt.

12/4/2011 - The sixth and final mural displays the various unique missions of the Reserve. From the Hurricane Hunter mission here to Mortuary Affairs, and even the Pararescue Mission, this graphic provides and in-depth look into the diversity of the Reserve mission. It is meant to provide the many students who will pass through this classroom with a better understanding of the Reserve and to aid in strengthening the bond between active-duty members and reservists, as well as plant the seeds for their future career progression.
