From right, Tech. Sgt. David Buckley, a radar, airfield and weather systems specialist, Senior Master Sgt. William Hoover, chief of maintenance, and Master Sgt. Justin Rasmusson, the 157th Operations Group first sergeant, participate in a redesignation ceremony, changing the 260th Air Traffic Control Squadron to the 260th Combat Airfield Operations Squadron, March 7, 2025, at Pease Air National Guard Base, New Hampshire.
Redesignating the squadron to the 260th CAOS is part of the Air Force's strategy to deploy smaller, more agile units to decentralize air power across small bases. Under the new designation, the squadron will cross train in tasks outside their normal duties to enable rapid deployment in support of landing zone operations in hostile conditions. The 260th CAOS is a part of the 157th Operations Group and is responsible for managing the flow of aircraft through all aspects of their flight to ensure the safety and efficiency of air traffic on the ground and in the air.
