Wingman Plus - Team Kirtland's Helping Agencies

The Wingman Plus Team is comprised of the Kirtland helping agencies.

The agencies work in collaboration to identify community issues and provide leadership with resolutions in the form of programs, activities, and events to enhance quality of life, increase resilience and create a strong base community.

Wingman Plus agencies meet monthly to address issues relevant to the well-being of our base and meet quarterly with the Community Action Board (CAB), comprised of our base leadership, to up-channel issues and resolutions.

We are here to serve Team Kirtland and its family members.

Victims' Counsel

The Victims’ Counsel (VC) provides support to victims of sexual crimes and aggravated domestic violence. 

The VC is an experienced judge advocate (licensed attorney) who provides confidential and independent legal advice. The VC can advise on military investigations, disciplinary processes and prosecutions, assist with expedited and humanitarian transfers, protect the legal rights of victims of these crimes, and advise on collateral misconduct issues (including facilitating assistance from an Area Defense Counsel). 

The VC can also maintain restricted reports made to SARC and FAP. 

All active duty victims, as well as active duty dependents whose perpetrator is an AF active duty member, are eligible for VC services.  Other victims of sexual crimes and aggravated domestic violence may be eligible for VC services, please contact us to inquire at (505) 846-2323.

The Victims’ Counsel (VC) program has expanded to allow VCs to provide interpersonal violence (IPV) victims, not otherwise authorized VC representation, confidential legal advice on the following:  1) military justice process, 2) victims’ legal rights, and 3) referrals to the appropriate support agencies.  These are some of the rules for this expansion:

Eligibility remains the same as the VC program

Offenses include any violence at home, in the workplace (hazing, bullying, and sexual harassment), or anywhere else.

The offender must be subject to the UCMJ (on active duty orders) at the time of the offense and the legal consultation.

One-time consultation (does not include representation throughout the military justice process, except under exceptional circumstances)

**********************
With the alarming increase in suicide across our force, the Air Force Community Action Team identified five key Suicide Prevention priorities to help get after the goal of reducing suicide risk through safer, healthier, more connected and resilient Airmen and communities. One of AFCAT priorities is centered around Equipping and Empowering Family Members with the knowledge and skills to be key sensors and partners in suicide prevention efforts. AFCAT is sharing this important update on the newly released suicide prevention training for military families that is officially open to *ALL* spouses and family members.
The training is located at this link. 
The link is also available at the landing page of the AF Resilience website by clicking the picture for Family Suicide Prevention Training.
