Airman 1st Class Christopher Gross, 736th Security Forces Squadron fire team, was awarded Team Andersen's Best, March 15.

Airman Gross is part of a team that deploys throughout the Pacific area of responsibility during times of disaster to provide humanitarian relief and security in foreign countries.
"Additionally, he is involved in rigorous day to day training becoming highly proficient in urban operations, tactical combat casualty care and counter- insurgency operations that ensure the safety of his fellow Airmen and himself," said Staff Sgt. Daniel Crane, Airman Gross's supervisor.

"Most recently, he showcased his skills and excelled during Cope North 2012, where he enhanced integrated ops and camaraderie between the U.S. Air Force, the Japan Air Self Defense Force and the Royal Australian Air Force," the sergeant continued.

Airman Gross has also recently completed the Pre-Close Precision Engagement Course which secured his attendance for the upcoming CPEC in El Paso, Texas.

"After graduating, he will become an Air Force sharp shooter," said Sergeant Crane.
Airman Gross also enjoys working out, volunteering for base and squadron events, playing squadron sports which include soccer and football, and riding his sports bike.

Andersen's Best is a recognition program which highlights a top performer from the 36th Wing. Each week, supervisors nominate a member of their team for outstanding performance and the wing commander presents the selected Airman/Civilian with an award.
