E-11 squadron at Robins AFB would be a geographically separated unit reporting to the 319th RW.
"We're excited to bring the E-11 BACN mission into the 319th (RW)'s portfolio of world-class Airmen and assets," said Col. Timothy Curry, 319th RW commander. "The E-11 brings strategic capability and advantages for the joint force which is the mission of the 319th RW.”
As part of its fiscal year 2020 budget request, the Air Force requested to begin retiring four E-8 aircraft next year, which would make way for the new E-11 BACN mission at Robins AFB.
E-11 BACN aircraft and a squadron of active-duty personnel will enable communications support to the joint force on the modern battlefield.
