132 nd Fighter Wing Closing

The 132nd Fighter Wing is facing possible closure, with plans to reduce personnel by 39% and replace F-16s with MQ-9 Reaper UAVs. This unit, renowned for its excellence and history, has been a critical part of national defense, especially notable for its 24-hour alert status post-9/11. The proposed realignment by the Air Force raises concerns about losing skilled positions and the implications for local military readiness. The community's strong sense of family and commitment to the mission adds emotional weight to the discussions on these significant changes.
