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.
The U.S. sent Air Force F-16s over central Syria in a show of force following the Dec. 13 killing of two U.S. Army Soldiers and one American civilian interpreter by a gunman linked to the Islamic State group.
