Air Guard Loses Fighter Unit

The Air National Guard lost a fighter unit Sept. 23 when the Maryland National Guard formally ended the A-10C Thunderbolt II mission at Warfield Air National Guard Base outside of Baltimore. The last A-10 departed the base two days later. The 104th Fighter Squadron had operated the aircraft for 45 years. The action was part of an Air Force plan announced in March 2024 to convert the 175th Wing from a dual-mission wing to an exclusively cyber wing.
