Wall, commanding officer of USS Wyoming Blue Crew (center), hold up an Omaha Trophy during an award ceremony honoring the USS Wyoming (SSBN 742) at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Ga., March 23, 2016. During the ceremony, U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Stephen W. Wilson, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) deputy commander (left), and Mr. Tom Janssen, Strategic Command Consultation (SCC) Committee representative (not pictured), presented the 2015 Omaha Trophy, ballistic missile submarine category, to Curtin and Wall in recognition of the USS Wyoming’s contributions to USSTRATCOM's global strategic missions. The Omaha Trophy, which dates back to the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command, was originally created by the SCC in 1971. At the time, a single trophy was presented annually as a token of appreciation to USSTRATCOM's best wing. Since then, the tradition has evolved to unit-level awards that recognize the command's premier intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) wing, ballistic missile submarine, strategic bomber wing and global operations (space/cyberspace) unit. This year, a new category was added to include the combatant command's top strategic aircraft wing.
