According to U.S. news media reports, the 188th Fighter Wing, Fort Smith, Arkansas, is scheduled to deploy for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) to the 451st Air Expeditionary Wing at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan, in March 2010.

Their aircraft package of probably twelve A-10Cs will deploy as 184th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron (184th EFS).

And probably they will replace the 354th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron (354th EFS), currently deployed for OEF to Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, from Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona.

The 188th is expected to return from Afghanistan in May, 2010.
