The 306th Intelligence Squadron completed a transition from Beale AFB, Calif., to Will Rogers ANGB, Okla., on March 6. The move brings into physical proximity the Active Duty ISR training mission for Special Operations Forces airborne analysts with members of the Oklahoma ANG’s 137th Special Operations Wing who fly the aircraft. The 306th IS gained deep operational experience with the MC-12W aircraft while it was stationed at Beale. The fleet of 13 ISR aircraft was moved to Will Rogers starting in 2015, and now the squadron is following the airplanes to a new home.
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.
