116th Air Control Wing (Joint STARS)

by Georgia National Guard

Continuously deployed for over
eight years, Georgia’s 116th Air
Control Wing has logged more than
70,000 flying hours with the E-8C
Joint Surveillance Target Attack
Radar System command and control
aircraft in support of Operations
Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
Georgia’s 116th ACW is the only Air
Force unit flying the sophisticated
J-STARS mission. Over the last eight years, the 116th has worked as a blended organization to successfully accomplish the mission with unparalleled results. The
“blending” of the active duty 93rd Air Control Wing with the Georgia Air National Guard 116th Bomb Wing created a one-of-a-kind organization with many organizational challenges.
