Air Force Reserve Command’s 927th Air Refueling Wing at Selfridge ANGB, Mich., last week began the formal transfer of its KC-135s to the Air National Guard’s 127th Wing, also at Selfridge. The Detroit News reports that the two reserve components are working well together. The 127th Wing began shedding its C-130s this fall and now is learning the ways of the tanker from the 927th, which will be heading south to become an associate unit with the active duty 6th Air Mobility Wing at MacDill AFB, Fla.
The Air National Guard will deactivate an air control squadron in Georgia and dozens more in Iowa, converting the unit and positions to do cyber operations.
