U. S. Airmen from the 127th Wing, Michigan National Guard, were tested on critical skillsets during a combat readiness inspection at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Sept. 10 to 13, 2025. Exercise Bronco, a four-day combat readiness inspection, tested the 127th Wing's ability to generate, deploy, and fight from home station under pressure, ensuring the 127th Wing Airmen have the capabilities needed to dominate the future fight.
It is a time of transition in the 127th Wing, with new aircraft and missions on the near horizon, with today’s missions still at hand.
The 127th Wing is actively recruiting potential new Airmen to join the team.
Among the most recent recruits are five people who have sworn in and will serve as crew chiefs on the Wing’s A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft and will be among those who transition to serve to support the Wing’s conversion from the A-10 to the new F-15EX Eagle II, which will begin to be delivered to the Wing in 2028. Each of the five, who spent the first weekend in November serving at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, said they are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as they begin their military careers....
