According to a news release from RAF Croughton, England, 10 Air National Guard and Reserve airmen have deployed to the small communications facility in Northamptonshire to augment the 422nd Security Forces Squadron, which has sent 21 active duty airmen to Southwest Asia. The reservists are providing installation security. However, the 422nd SFS tapped one, TSgt. Dustin Schimp, to employ his civilian expertise to help the unit revamp its record management system.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
