The competitions are meant to bring morale to the unit while inciting competition into a work area where the job needs to be done as quick, safe, and reliable as possible. The unit choses two crews to compete, allowing the other crews to see what to strive for. The hopes of the 5th AMXS from ever competition is that the Airmen will continue to strive for excellence.
