New boss of 2nd AF at Keesler

KEESLER AFB, Miss – Major General Andrea Tullos assumed command of the Second Air Force from Major General Timothy Leahy during a change of command ceremony here Aug. 29. Tullos comes to south Mississippi from duty as director of security forces and deputy chief of staff for logistics, engineering and force protection at Air Force headquarters in Arlington, Va. Leahy highlighted how the Air Force will always be a part of his life even after he retires - after 37 years of service – and transitions to civilian life. For those in uniform, it has been “the privilege of my life to stand next to you in formation and defend this great nation" Leahy said. The Second Air Force was reassigned in July 1993 to Keesler AFB. Its mission became conducting basic military and technical training for Air Force enlisted members and support officers at five major Air Education and Training Command training bases in the United States, including two other units at Keesler, the 81st Training Wing and 602nd Training Group (P).
