MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho (CBS2) — Some changes are coming to the 366th Fighter Wing at Mountain Home Air Force Base.
The Base announced on Friday that it activated two Fighter Generation Squadrons, in place of the previous aircraft maintenance organizational structure, to realign with the Combat Oriented Maintenance Organization model.
“I’m excited to prepare mission-ready Gunfighters to fight and win today’s war, and the next,” said Maj. Reis Griffin, 389th FGS commander.
This model enhances the Gunfighter’s ability to be better postured for dynamic force employment in support of Department of Defense priorities. Furthermore, it will enable the FS and the FGS to maintain unity of effort through consistent synchronization while also retaining each commander’s focus on their respective squadron’s operational execution, personnel management and development.
“I’m excited to start a new chapter in the extensive tiger history,” said Maj. Jeremy Geidel, 391st FGS commander. “I hope to continue the legacy as proudly as you guys have started.”
This structure enables wings to prepare for contingency response before a contingency arises, making them able to rapidly deploy and redeploy increasing the unit’s lethality.
