The Kansas Air National Guard’s 184th Air Refueling Wing at McConnell Air Force Base has flown its last KC-135 tanker, reports The Wichita Eagle. Its sister unit, the 190th ARW at Topeka, will continue to fly the KC-135, but, as we reported in December, the 184th is converting to an intelligence mission.
The Air Force must better explain Agile Combat Employment concepts, align training standards, and address staff shortages to be ready to implement the strategy, according to a new report by the federally funded RAND Corporation.
