KEY FIELD AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Miss. – 186th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) Commander, Col. Cynthia Smith and Naval Air Station (NAS) Meridian Commanding Officer, Capt. Luke Davis, signed the first ever Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between NAS Meridian and the 186 ARW on Dec. 13, 2024, during a press conference at NAS Meridian.
“This mutual aid agreement will allow our Civil Engineers to work with the NAS Public Works Department to complete work projects at NAS Meridian and at the same allows our personnel an opportunity to work on projects and equipment which we don’t normally have access to” said Smith. “This is truly a ‘Win Win’ for both of our organizations, and we are excited to see this come together.”
The MOU facilitates the coordination of training opportunities onboard NAS Meridian. This training will provide the 186 ARW Civil Engineering Squadron personnel with additional opportunities to fulfill training requirements involving electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, pipefitting, plumbing and carpentry disciplines, while providing NAS Meridian’s Public Works Department with additional capability to execute facility maintenance projects on the installation.
“We are pursuing this mutual understanding here today that the 186 ARW comes out and gets into training evolutions with our public works department here at NAS Meridian,” said Davis. “We will get projects spanning from HVAC to electrical and anything that you can think of around our installation and infrastructure.”
The 186 ARW provides over 1,100 personnel and eight KC-135R aircraft to Air Mobility Command for worldwide operations. Additional units at Key Field include the 238th Air Support Operations Squadron, the 248th Air Traffic Control Squadron, and the 186th Air Operations Group.
