Airmen return from Afghanistan Published Dec. 10, 2010 By Public Affairs staff 75th Air Base Wing HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- About 30 Airmen from the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings will return home today from a nearly three-month deployment to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. In September, F-16s, pilots, maintainers and personnel assigned to the 4th Fighter Squadron, 4th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, and other 388th and 419th FW units deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Their primary mission was to maintain security and stability in the region by providing close air support for coalition ground troops. The 388th and 419th FWs were tasked to deploy additional aircraft and personnel to support the theater commander's plan for security and stabilization for this deployment. Although some of the Airmen are returning, the wings still have Airmen and combat aircraft deployed in support of ongoing coalition objectives in Afghanistan.
