13 HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah – Airmen from the 419th Fighter Wing, 388th FW and 649th Munitions Squadron joined together Dec. 16 to deliver Christmas gifts to children in foster care.
Continuing a years-long tradition, Airmen packed cars and trucks full of toys to deliver to families across Northern Utah who needed a little extra help for the holidays, especially with the challenges brought on by COVID-19. Due to the pandemic, Utah Foster Care fell short on gift donations this year.
“Our Airmen jumped in, led the charge, and organized a toy roundup,” said Senior Master Sgt. Drue Titensor, fabrication flight chief in the 419th Maintenance Squadron. “If it weren’t for the generosity of these Airmen, many kids would have gone without.”

HILL AIR FORCE BASE â Airmen from the 649th Munitions Squadron at Hill Air Force Base are sporting a new smart watch and soon will add a smart ring that will alert them when they may be coming down with illnesses such as COVID-19 or other viral infections.
The unit is among the first in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Materiel Command to be a part of a Defense Innovation Unit Research Program using the technology.
The watch and ring, from Garmin and Oura, respectively, detect biometric indicators such as respiratory rate, sleep data and heart rate data, while the watch has a pulse oximetry sensor, which measures blood oxygen, and the ring can track body temperature.
