Phase I ORI In The Rearview Mirror Published Oct. 25, 2010 By Col. Drew "Toto" DeHaes Commander, 132d Fighter Wing Des Moines, Iowa -- The Phase 1 Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) is now in our rearview mirror. Our overall grade was a SATISFACTORY. We fell short of our goal of EXCELLENT, but the good news and the bottom line is that the 132d Fighter Wing clearly exceeds ACC standards. Fully 42%, or 15 of the 36 graded areas, were rated OUTSTANDING and 22% of the graded areas were rated EXCELLENT. Given the nine months to prepare for a major inspection, we did good work. Over the coming weeks, we will have an ORI hot wash so we can review areas that we need to improve and capture the areas were we exceeded the goal. The best news is that the IG will not be back for a while. We entered this inspection with about 40% of the base never having been through a major readiness inspection. We are a better organization for having gone through the inspection. We can meet/exceed the expectation that we can pack up our shops and move our operations anywhere in the world at a moment's notice. Our F-16s are the tightest in the Air Force fighter fleet, ready to perform. Our people are top notch, able to perform any mission. Anywhere, anytime, the 132d Fighter Wing is ready to respond. This would not be possible without the outstanding efforts of our exceptional men and women who make up the 132d Fighter Wing. Thank you for all your hard work!
