Rome, NY (11/03/2017) — Master Sgt. Jeremy Stanbro, a Rome resident based at the Eastern Air Defense Sector is the Air National Guard Cyber Systems Noncommissioned Officer of the Year.

Among the accomplishments cited in the award was Stanbro's successful integration of new sensors into EADS command and control decision-making system. The master sergeant was also recognized for merging mobile radars into the operations network and for conducting more than 200 tests to ensure system redundancy.
"Being identified as the best in your field in an organization as large as the Air National Guard is a remarkable achievement," said Col. John Balbierer, the 224th Air Defense Group Commander. "Master Sgt. Stanbro's outstanding work provided our operators with more and better information, directly improving the unit's ability to conduct its critical, around-the-clock, air defense mission."
