GENIEVE DAVID 75th Air Base Wing Public Affairs The 419th Fighter Wing's 67th Aerial Port Squadron has deployed their largest group of personnel since the beginning of the Global War on Terror in 2001. Seventy-two Reservists volunteered to fulfill a 120-day tasking to Afghanistan. Eleven volunteers were turned away due to the slots being filled. "This is what we train for and it is great to be able to do our part in the global war on terrorism," said Chief Master Sgt. David Sill, Senior Air Reserve technician, 67th APS. "Because we have almost one third of the squad- Approximately 200 Airmen from the 729th Air Control* Squadron, which is a unit of the 388th Fighter Wing, deployed to Southwest Asia May 15 in support of the Global War on Terror. The squadron will be deployed for at least 120 days as a part of the Air and Space Expeditionary Force rotation. An AEF is a cross-section of aerospace capabilities that can be tailored to meet specific theater commanders' needs. The unique combat capabilities and quality people of the 729 ACS keep the unit in high-demand.

It also provides command and control of joint air operations through surveillance, identification, weapons control/ theater missile defense, battle management and theater communications data links.
