Vermont National Guard Public Affairs

The 158th Fighter Wing will hold three deployment ceremonies Nov. 8 to honor Airmen scheduled to deploy throughout the fall and winter of 2020 as well as their families.

More than 70 Airmen from the 158th FW are scheduled to deploy at various times through the fall and winter of 2020 for up to six months in support of U.S. Central Command, U.S. Africa Command, and U.S. European Command missions.

Due to COVID-19, each ceremony is limited in capacity.

The final rotation of Airmen in this deployment cycle will return to Vermont Air National Guard Base by the summer of 2021.
