The mobile app's primary functions include:

  2. Access to the Chief's AimPoint and Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program info.
  3. One Click National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or DoD Safe helpline
  4. Geolocation tool to find nearby Air National Guard Wings for assistance
  5. Interactive calendar showing upcoming Chief events and events at your unit
  6. Extensive library of resources and links including the new Ready Airman app
  7. All-in-one handy references including the Airmen "Brown" and "Blue" books
  8. Live feeds from the Chief's Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter

"Leadership advocacy is the key to promoting resilience, diversity, risk management, and readiness among our Airmen and their families," said Col. Edward Vaughan, executive director of the ANG Community Action Information Board. "Chief Hotaling is a crucial strategic voice and valuable partner in this effort."
