Tim "Falcon" Frank, 8th Mission Support Group commander, render a salute during an activation ceremony at Daegu Air Base, Republic of Korea, Sept. 5, 2025. The ceremony activated the now 8th Material Maintenance Squadron under the 8th Fighter Wing. The new command relationship is intended to accelerate decision cycles, sharpen accountability, and ensure the co-located operating bases and war reserve material sets are aligned with the wing's ability to project combat power and meet the combined requirements of ROKAF partners across the peninsula.
