Updated: January 7, 2013

General Mark Welsh III will be visiting the 188th Fighter Wing on Friday, January 18, 2013.

 

Members of the delegation sent a letter to General Welsh in November inviting him to visit the 188th to get a more complete picture of the capabilities, readiness level and airspace and facilities provide at the Air Base when making a decision about the Air Force's modernization efforts.

 

Senator John Boozman says, 'This is an important step in our efforts to maintain a flying mission in Fort Smith. Gen .Welsh has heard us tout the capabilities of the 188ths Fighter Wing. Now, he will have the opportunity to see first-hand how the most cost effective Air National Guard unit in the country partners with the other assets in Ft. Smith to provide a variety of capabilities. We look forward to showcasing the value and resources our air base provides to our national security.
