Accepting the Polar Bear guidon and the responsibilities it represents, Chief Master Sgt. Raymond S. Allen now takes the helm as Command Chief. A former Senior Enlisted Leader of the 168th Maintenance Group, Chief Allen brings with him a wealth of leadership and operational experience. As custodian of this symbolic standard, Allen received the polar bear guidon, symbolizing his dedication to the 168th Wing, and accepts the charge of ensuring the readiness, training, health, morale, and quality of life for each member of the wing.
