  • The Air Force in the Balkans
    USAF has a major role as NATO's implementation force attempts to sustain a fragile peace. The Air Force in the ince 1991, when Yugoslavia Balkans Sbegan to tear itself apart, international organizations have struggled to halt the violence. The UN and NATO have mounted various operations, both diplomatic and military, aiming to bring peace in Europe's deadliest conflict since 1945. The latest of these— Operation Joint Endeavor—began after Serbs, Croats, and Muslims signed a peace accord in Dayton, Ohio, on November 21,1995. IFOR's 60,000 troops (20,000 Americans) have been put in place to ensure the fighting does not flare up again. The Air Force delivers NATO's forces to Bosnia-Hercegovina and protects them once they are in place. This F-16C from the 555th Fighter Squadron, Aviano AB, Italy, is loaded with AIM-9 and AIM-120 missiles and has been fitted with an electronic countermeasures pod to help outwit the SAM threat. Such aircraft on patrol have kept the skies clear of hostile aircraft.

Today’s wings are smaller, dating their history to 1948, when the newly independent Air Force established permanent combat wings consisting of a combat group, an air base group, a maintenance and supply group, and a medical group. In most cases, wings’ numerical designator evolved from the combat group that preceded it. For example, today’s 14th Flying Training Wing traces its history to the 14th Fight- er Wing and, before that, the 14th Fighter Group. Each group within the wing takes on the wing’s numerical designator.
