Airmen and aircraft from the Air National Guard’s 120th, 140th, and 150th Fighter Wings have been sent to Kunsan AB, South Korea, where they have formed the 186th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron. The Guardsmen from Montana, Colorado, and New Mexico, respectively, who now answer to the nickname the “Rocky Mountain Coalition,” are training with Kunsan’s 8th Fighter Wing. The training regimen calls for pilots and ground crews to assimilate into the Wolf Pack as full members of the wing, ready to respond when and where needed.
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
