By Joachim Jacob

Elements of the 75th Fighter Squadron are currently deployed as 75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron to the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing at Bagram AB, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. This deployment is part of USAF's AEF 5/6 (Cycle 7) rotation (September - December 2008). The aircraft package of probably 12 A-10Cs left Moody AFB, Georgia, on September 8th, 2008. It is the squadron's first combat deployment out of Moody AFB, Georgia.
