Members of the 176th Wing's 249th Airlift Squadron changed their unit affiliation to the 144th Airlift Squadron during a discreet patch-changing ceremony at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Aug. 4. The 144th AS has been a part of the Alaska Air National Guard in some form since its founding in 1952. In 2017, the 144th AS divested eight C-130H Hercules aircraft. The ceremony marks the deactivation of the 249th AS as the 144th AS assumes control of the 249th's C-17 Globemaster III aircraft, shared with their active duty partners, the 517th Airlift Squadron.
