OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. -- Brig. Gen. John N.T. Shanahan, 55th Wing commander, presents Senior Airman Victor Wise, 55th Security Forces Squadron, with the Air Force Combat Action Medal during a ceremony here April 14. Airman Wise received the medal, as well as two Army Commendation Medals during the ceremony, for his selfless actions to save lives after a convoy he was traveling in was hit by an improvised explosive device while he was deployed to Iraq. The AFCAM is awarded to Airmen who have been active participants in combat, while being under direct and hostile fire as they physically engaged hostile forces with direct and lethal fire in connection with military operations.
