WINDY CITY CHAPTER Recognizes Contributions of Col. Mocio to Electronic Warfare

Col. Mark Mocio was recently recognized by AOC International for his efforts pertaining to the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (LAIRCM) program with regard to the importance that this program plays in the protection of U.S. and U.S. ally troops and aircraft. There is no question that the IRCM systems that have been and will continue to be delivered on the LAIRCM program and integrated onto U.S. and ally platforms save lives every day.

At a recent Joint Program Management Review (JPMR) for the LAIRCM program, the Local AOC Windy City Chapter took the opportunity to present Col. Mocio with a certificate from AOC International that recognized his and his team’s (i.e., LAIRCM Senior Materiel Leadership,  LAIRCM Program Mobility Directorate, and  LAIRCM Integrated Product Team) contributions to Electronic Warfare. The certificate reads as follows: 
For meritorious professional achievement in contributing to the fields of Electronic and Information warfare. Your outstanding accomplishments have merited special recognition and appreciation from the entire membership of the Association of Old Crows. 
In addition to the presentation of the certificate, the Windy City Chapter also took the opportunity to present the Colonel with the AOC coffee table book that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the AOC so that the Colonel could be prepared to answer the inevitable questions from inquiring minds on what exactly the AOC organization does. The book provides a good overview on the history of the AOC and the role that the AOC has provided to the safety of our nation and our allies.
