9 Large stacks of paper filled the desk. Countless packages, enlisted performance reports and evaluation reviews stared menacingly back at him. Board evaluation season was always tedious and time consuming.
Prather looked at his watch and around at his Airmen, hard at work to meet their deadline. Collectively, he and his team had put in more than 250 man-hours. He sighed. They were still not done.
Right then, U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Phillip E. Prather Jr., 377th Force Support Squadron force management section chief, and a former defender, knew it was time to make a change. Prather set out to develop an application to streamline the Enlisted Force Distribution Process (EFDP), starting at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.

10 U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Michael J. Lutton, 20th Air Force commander, visited Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, March 1-3, 2021, along with Chief Master Sgt. Charles C. Orf, 20th Air Force command chief, to learn about Team Kirtland’s mission capabilities and innovations.
During his multi-day visit, Lutton met with Team Kirtland members, learned about the mission activities they perform and visited various locations across the installation.
Lutton, who oversees Airmen providing nuclear global strike and nuclear weapons sustainment, is responsible for the 377th Air Base Wing here.
“It was very exciting to see how Airmen are integrating some of the key technologies into their mission sets,” said Lutton. “Not only are they looking at different solutions sets to provide world class defense, but also innovating on top of that and not being satisfied with the status quo.”
