With Air Force Reserve Command deactivating its 913th Airlift Wing at NAS JRB Willow Grove, Pa., many military and civilian personnel are signing on with the Air National Guard. Lou Sessinger of The Intelligencer reports that many of them are joining the Air Guard’s 166th Airlift Wing in Delaware. He notes that Air Reserve boss, Lt. Gen. John Bradley, is encouraging the move.
The U.S. sent Air Force F-16s over central Syria in a show of force following the Dec. 13 killing of two U.S. Army Soldiers and one American civilian interpreter by a gunman linked to the Islamic State group.
