Operation "Atlantic Resolve" and "Frisian Flag" 2016

Air National Guard F-15Cs and airmen are headed to Europe to augment U.S. forces on the Continent, part of
ongoing efforts to boost peace and stability in the region while deterring Russian aggression in eastern Europe.

Twelve F-15C Eagles and about 350 airmen and support equipment were to begin deploying Friday from their home stations,
said Capt. Lauren Ott, a spokeswoman for U.S. Air Forces in Europe–Air Forces Africa. The aircraft and airmen are from the

131st Fighter Squadron / 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts,
and the
194th Fighter Squadron / 144th Fighter Wingat Fresno Air National Guard Base, California.

They are deploying as a Theater Security Package in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, with the airmen expected to
remain in Europe for about six months. Upon arrival in Europe, the aircraft and airmen will head to separate locations:
One group will support the NATO air surveillance mission in Iceland, while the other will conduct flying training
at Leeuwarden Air Base, Netherlands. The mission in Iceland marks the first time that an Air National Guard
unit will fly air surveillance in Iceland for NATO, Ott said.

NATO’s air mission in Iceland dates to 2008, following the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country, which doesn’t have
its own military. NATO provides a periodic peacetime air defense presence to meet Iceland’s needs.
