(Grand Forks, ND) U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer, who also serves as a Senate Armed Services Committee member, issuing a statement on the Air Force announcing the 319th Reconnaissance Wing at Grand Forks Air Force Base that will provide command and control support for the Air Force’s E-11 Battlefield Airborne Control Node aircraft mission.
“Bringing the E-11 under the jurisdiction of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing at the Grand Forks Air Force Base is an acknowledgment of the incredible leadership at the base, a recognition of how critical the base is to the nation’s defense, and a reminder of how the base is responsible for much more than what can be physically seen there. Wednesday’s announcement will also help solidify the base’s long-term success and stability in Grand Forks. I am grateful for the Air Force leaders who made this wise decision, and I look forward to helping ensure its success.”
E-11 squadron at Robins AFB would be a geographically separated unit reporting to the 319th RW. We re excited to bring the E-11 BACN mission into the 319th (RW) s portfolio of world-class Airmen and assets, said Col. Timothy Curry, 319th RW commander. The E-11 brings strategic capability and advantages for the joint force which is the mission of the 319th RW.”
As part of its fiscal year 2020 budget request, the Air Force requested to begin retiring four E-8 aircraft next year, which would make way for the new E-11 BACN mission at Robins AFB.
E-11 BACN aircraft and a squadron of active-duty personnel will enable communications support to the joint force on the modern battlefield.
