U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. --  Col. Stacey Hawkins, the 10th Air Base Wing commander, was one of 30 Air Force officers nominated by the president Jan. 9 for promotion to brigadier general.

Congressional approval for Hawkins and the other nominees is slated to occur later this year.

Hawkins leads approximately 3,000 military and civilian personnel who provide security, civil engineering, communications, logistics, finance and other capabilities, to support Academy cadets. He also manages the 10th ABW's $150 million budget. 

"It's very humbling to be nominated for promotion and I look forward to continued service as an Airman in the U.S. Air Force." Hawkins said. "I am grateful to my family, incredible mentors, and the amazing Airmen I have the privilege to serve with every day."

Hawkins graduated from the Academy in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science degree.

"Congratulations to Colonel Hawkins, his wife, Natalie, and their boys, Trey and Ian," said Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson. "As the 10th ABW commander, we all know how his great leadership has impacted our Air Force's Academy. This is another step toward greater things to come and I wish him the very best."
