Sixty members of the Utah Air National Guard’s 109th Air Control Squadron have deployed to Southwest Asia for the fourth time since 2000, reports the Salt Lake Tribune. They deployed to Iraq for seven months in 2003 and 2004, and, here at home, the squadron also supported Operation Noble Eagle for a year.
