A standout leader within the Special Tactics Training Squadron, A1C Baker tragically passed away during a dive training session in 2020. Having earned his scarlet beret in December 2019, he was known for his unparalleled grasp of "Global Access" skills and his commitment to mentoring teammates through the grueling Combat Control pipeline. Living by his motto, "DIE LIVING," A1C Baker brought immense passion and drive to the Air Force. He was posthumously awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal, and his legacy continues to inspire the 24th Special Operations Wing.
