Road Trip: Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona

Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base adjacent to Tucson, Arizona. The installation is primarily an Air Combat Command (ACC) base with the 355th Fighter Wing (355 FW) as the host activity. The base is also home to Headquarters, 12th Air Force (12 AF) and the Air Force Material Command's (AFMC) 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (309 AMARG), previously known as the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC).

The 355th Fighter Wing is the host unit at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, however, other units also call D-M home. Twelfth Air Force, the 563rd Rescue Group and The Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) are all based out of D-M.

After the execution of Operation Enduring Freedom, eight A-10s from the 355th Wing were called to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan to fly close air support missions supporting multinational ground forces.

In September 2002, the 48th, 55th, and the 79th Rescue Squadrons (RQS) transferred under control of the 355th Wing, equipped with HC-130 aircraft and HH-60 helicopters. At the same time, the 41st and 43 Electronic Combat Squadrons were realigned under the control of the 55th Electronic Combat Group (55 ECG).

While personnel and aircraft remained on Davis-Monthan AFB operational control of the 55 ECG was assumed by the 55th Wing at Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Another major wing realignment occurred on 1 October 2003 with the activation of the 563 Rescue Group on Davis-Monthan AFB. Control of the 48th, 55th, and 79th Rescue Squadrons (RQS) was passed to the new group with the 23rd Wing assuming operational command of the unit.

Good morning, Beachy!

Heading out the door for an appointment with my orthopedist. How are things with you this morning?

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

[Arrowhead1952]

Yup, the hill country is cooler than most places, but ABIA is almost 10 degrees colder than at our house.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Luv!

*HUGS*

Great to see you this morning! I'm on a plethora of meds, several of which cause dizziness - I attribute the fall last night to that. Going to the orthopedist now - will head into the office later.

Good morning again, Ladies! Trip to the orthodontist went well - no damage to the knee and I'm able to straighten it out and bend it to more than 90 degrees. He referred me for PT, which will commence next Monday the 9th. Will let you know of any future developments.
