The 42nd Attack Squadron ended its combat operations and flew its final sortie down-range out of Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, Jan. 31, 2020.
Col. Landon Quan:
The 42nd Attack Squadron originally started in June of 1917, during the days of World War 1. Fast forward to 2006, the 42nd stood up as the MQ-9 community’s only formal training unit and then quickly transitioned into combat operations.
Our job is to save lives of American servicemen, Coalition servicemen and civilians overseas and we do that through a number of different ways. One of those is close air support. Our other mission is combat search and rescue. We’re out actively looking, finding and bringing a service member home.
