    Two U.S. Air Force AC-130J Ghostriders, one assigned to the 4th Special Operations Squadron out of Hurlburt Field, Fla., and the other assigned to the 27th Special Operations Group Detachment 2, fly in formation July 19, 2021, at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M. The arrival of Cannon’s first AC-130J Ghostrider represents a significant expansion of force generation capacity as AFSOC structures for the reemergence of great power competition, tightening fiscal constraints, and the accelerating rate of technological change, demanding significant transformation to ensure Air Commandos are ready to successfully operate in this new environment.
