Air Force Reserve Command deactivated its 92nd Aerial Port Squadron in Forty Fort, Pa., last weekend. The Citizens Voice reports that the unit had served there for 51 years before falling prey to BRAC 2005 and the Air Force’s overall personnel drawdown. Some of the unit’s 130 airmen retired along with the 92nd APS.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
