July Long Ranger Roundup

  • Published

The 307th Bomb Wing stayed busy during the month of July, both on and off Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana.  Members of the unit met with Word War II alumni from the 307th Bomb Group (Heavy) during their reunion and learned more about efforts to find and repatriate remains of Long Rangers from that era who are still missing.  The 93rd Bomb Squadron became the first air crew to compete in this year's Global Strike Competition and they hosted congressional staff delegates during a visit to Barksdale AFB.  Some familiar faces retired from the unit, even as a new commander for the 489th Bomb Group took the reins of the unit.
