Mark Bremer’s path to becoming vice president of industrial programs for Dassault Falcon Jet started 38 years ago at the Little Rock Air Force Base. On Feb. 2, he was back hoping to find skilled employees among Air Guard and Air Force personnel.

Bremer was at the Air Force base for the Arkansas Aerospace and Defense Alliance Industry Day. Twenty Alliance companies set up booths in a hangar next to a C-130 troop transport as guests of the Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing.

The companies and the wing both had the same goals: connecting and recruiting.

Members of the wing’s full-time and part-time personnel visited the booths. Members of the Arkansas Army National Guard and full-time Air Force personnel also were scheduled to visit it.
