Commanders share wing missions and kidney donation

Two wing commanders at Hill AFB, Utah, have taken the Air Force’s Total Force Integration to a whole new, and very personal, level. When Air Force Reserve Col. Keith “K2” Knudson, commander of the 419th Fighter Wing (on left) was diagnosed with kidney failure last year, his active duty counterpart, Col. Scott “Chemo” Long, commander of the 388th FW, volunteered to donate a kidney of his own. The 419th FW is a classic associate Reserve unit tied to the 388th FW. As part of their duties, Long and Knudson have worked closely on how best to capitalize on their shared equipment and facilities. Now they may soon be sharing a kidney. “We’re taking TFI to a different level,” Long joked. “We’re talking total organ integration.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Todd Cromar)
