Road Trip: Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota

Grand Forks Air Force Base is a United States Air Force installation in northeastern North Dakota, located north of Emerado and 16 miles west of Grand Forks.

The host unit is the 319th Reconnaissance Wing (319 RW) assigned to the Air Combat Command (ACC) operating E/RQ-4B Global Hawk remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), in the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) role.

In June 2022, Grand Forks Air Force Base celebrated its selection as the future home of Space Development Agency’s first Ground Operations and Integration Center that will operate and control multiple-layer satellite operations for Tranche 1 (T1) of the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA). The NDSA provides high-speed tactical data transport and supports DOD’s “pivot” to a multi-orbit, resilient missile warning, missile tracking, and missile defense architecture.

An unmanned aircraft flew for the first time Aug 20, 2018, beyond the visual line of sight without the use of a chase airplane in controlled airspace out of Grand Sky located at Grand Forks Air Force Base.

A certificate of authorization issued this month allows aircraft to take off from Grand Sky using the Grand Forks Air Force Base runway and can fly in a radius of 30 nautical miles through the National Air Space System without the use of chase planes.

The 319th Reconnaissance Wing is organized into three distinct groups: the Operations Group, Mission Support Group and Medical Group. In addition, the Director of Staff exercises day-to-day authority over several staff agencies that provide direct support to the wing commander.

The mission is to provide a decisional advantage to warfighters and national leaders through support of our Nation's Global Hawk High-Altitude ISR mission, ensure strategic command and control through operation of the Nation's High Frequency Global Communication System.

Wisdom and Understanding

Bible in a Year:

• Job 30–31
• Acts 13:26–52

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:6

In 1373, when Julian of Norwich was thirty years old, she became ill and nearly died. When her minister prayed with her, she experienced a number of visions in which she considered Jesus’ crucifixion. After miraculously recovering her health, she spent the next twenty years living in solitude in a side room of the church, praying over and thinking through the experience. She concluded that “love was his meaning”; that is, that Christ’s sacrifice is the supreme manifestation of God’s love.

Julian’s revelations are famous, but what people often overlook is the time and effort she spent prayerfully working out what God revealed to her. In those two decades, she sought to discern what this experience of His presence meant as she asked Him for His wisdom and help.

As He did with Julian, God graciously reveals Himself to His people, such as through the words of the Bible; through His still, small voice; through a refrain of a hymn; or even just an awareness of His presence. When this happens, we can seek His wisdom and help. This wisdom is what King Solomon instructed his son to pursue, saying he should turn his ear to wisdom and apply his heart to understanding (Proverbs 2:2). Then he would “find the knowledge of God” (v. 5).

God promises to give us discernment and understanding. As we grow in a deeper knowledge of His character and ways, we can honor and understand Him more.

Reflect & Pray

How does God reveal Himself to you most often? When He does, how do you come to understand what He’s revealed?

Gracious God, help me to grow in Your wisdom.

Gracious God

Yes, gracious God for sure. I was born and raised in Grand Forks, and spent 20 years in the Air Force, but was never stationed there. Did the majority of my career in Texas and California. Have a great Air Force day. I was in, before wokeness. 👍

Thank you. 👍 I was enlisted, but my son is an officer. I told him, do not make the mistake of being an enlisted guy like me. He didn’t, and is now a USAF pilot. 👍

Howdy, Kathy.

Still looking a bit smoky up there today. Nothing like last week when the mountains were hidden by the smoke, at least.

It would be nice to see rain drops on the cam and outside my window. We both need it bad!

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!
