Airmen and aircraft from the Air National Guard’s 120th, 140th, and 150th Fighter Wings have been sent to Kunsan AB, South Korea, where they have formed the 186th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron. The Guardsmen from Montana, Colorado, and New Mexico, respectively, who now answer to the nickname the “Rocky Mountain Coalition,” are training with Kunsan’s 8th Fighter Wing. The training regimen calls for pilots and ground crews to assimilate into the Wolf Pack as full members of the wing, ready to respond when and where needed.
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
