Officials at Travis AFB, Calif., recently activated the 321st Air Mobility Operations Squadron, which falls under the recently reorganized 621st Contingency Response Wing. The squadron replaces the inactivated 15th AMOS, providing operational and training augmentation to contingency response units, as well as developing and improving procedures, according to a release. The 621st CRW inactivated several groups to cut headquarters staff and improve efficiency, realigning units into four main missions—air advisory, command and control, mobility, and contingency response—back in June. The 231st AMOS stood up at Travis on Dec. 7.
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.
