By Senior Airman Alex Echols Public Affairs

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE — The 95th Fighter Squadron recently re- turned after making history com- pleting the fi rst Tyndall and F-22 Raptor combat deployment. “The complete success of our fi rst-ever combat deployment proves once again the airmen of Team Tyndall get the mission done,” said Col. Derek C. France, 325th Fighter Wing commander. “We’re really proud of everyone that went downrange and very happy to have them back. They did a fantastic job and made Tyndall proud from start to fi nish.” More than 200 airmen deployed from the 95th FS, the 325th Opera- tion Support Squadron, the 325th Maintenance Squadron, the 325th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and other offi ces. Six F-22s and ap- proximately 230 short tons of cargo accompanied the airmen. “Overall, it was great,” said Lt. Col. Ronald E. Gilbert, 95th FS com- mander. “I was really proud of our folks and happy with their attitudes and the way they approached busi- ness. People kept the positive moti- vation moving forward and worked around the clock to ensure combat operations were uninterrupted.

The six-month deploy- ment to Southeast Asia began last September and concluded in April, but preparation started months in advance and wrap-up still continues. This being Tyndall’s first deployment, many pro- cesses and systems in- cluding an entire squadron needed to be created to en- sure mission success. “Before the transition to in October 2012, Tyndall never really prepared to go to combat,” Gilbert said. “The base didn’t have the training, infrastruc- ture, logistics or mobil- ity in place to make it pos- sible to deploy. So for two years, we prepared, moved folks here and stood up offices and squadrons to get ready. A lot of initial obstacles and challenges were overcome, and suc- cess was greatly achieved downrange once we were able to get there.” The deployment also marked the first time an F-22 squadron deployed to combat. “The aircraft was out- standing,” Gilbert said. “Best airplane to be in combat, no question.” The 95th FS was reacti- vated in Oct. 11, 2013, and since then it has received 24 F-22s, making Tyndall Airman 1st Class Sergio A.

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE — When it comes to transitioning from one base to another, most people will say “I’ve always wanted to go there,” or “I heard that base is terrible,” only to realize that it’s never what they expect.
