Brig. Gen. Craig Franklin assumes command of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing from Lt. Gen. Gary North, 9th Air Force and U.S. Air Forces Central commander, during a change-of-command ceremony July 4. With the passing of the wing's guidon, General Franklin takes responsibility for more than 8,000 Airmen deployed here as well as base-operating support-integration for JBB. The 332nd AEW is the most forward-deployed combat wing in Iraq. Its heritage is tied to the famous 332nd Fighter Group led by the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II. Franklin is deployed from Aviano Air Base, Italy.
