4/23/2014 - HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- More
than 130 Airmen from the 419th and 388th Fighter Wings returned home
Tuesday after a four-month deployment to Osan Air Base, Republic of
Korea.
About 70 other Reserve and active-duty personnel, including 10 F-16s, returned to Hill over Easter weekend.
During the deployment, pilots, maintainers and personnel provided F-16
air support in the region as part of a routine U.S. Pacific Command
Theater Security Package rotation.
"This deployment enabled the Airmen from both the active duty and
Reserve to provide for our nation's continued commitment to stability
and security in the Asia-Pacific region," said Col. Lance Landrum, 388th
FW commander. "Our nation's Air Force has been deploying constantly
around the globe since August 1990 and this is just another example of
their dedication and their families' sacrifice. We're eager to welcome
them home."
"It's always great to welcome our Airmen home and there's nothing better
than seeing people reunite with family and friends," said Col. Bryan
Radliff, 419th FW commander. "Here on the Reserve side of the house, we
also look forward to our folks getting back to work at their civilian
jobs out in the community. We owe their employers a great debt for the
sacrifices they make in support of their employee's Reserve service."
