Natalee Dykes supports the procurement mission of the FA4621 22 Cons Pk unit under the Department of the Air Force, ensuring the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and operational systems that sustain airbase readiness. While her formal title is not specified, her role centers on managing contracts for specialized equipment, facility modernization, and mission-enabling services, including audio-visual systems, security infrastructure, and logistics support hardware.
