Air Force Reserve Command’s 931st Air Refueling Group at McConnell AFB, Kan., will be elevated to wing status, ahead of the unit’s transition from the KC-135 to the KC-46A, officials announced. The 931st ARG augments McConnell’s Active Duty 22nd Air Refueling Wing as an associate unit operating the KC-135 tanker. The unit will gain operations and maintenance groups, and stand up the 905th Air Refueling Squadron and 924th ARS, in addition to a force support squadron when it becomes a wing-level organization early next year, according to a release. McConnell was selected as the first Active Duty-led operational base for the Air Force’s future KC-46A Pegasus tanker. The 931st ARW will transition to the new airframe alongside McConnell’s Active Duty flying wing beginning next year.
