David Wade (right), Command Chief of Air Combat Command, listens to a brief from the 727th Expeditionary Air Control Squadron “Kingpin” during a base tour at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, June 25, 2021. Shaw Air Force Base leadership, to include 9th Air Force (AFCENT) commander, Lt. Gen. Greg Guillot, hosted Gen. Mark Kelly on base Friday, June 26. In addition to meeting with Airmen, the generals discussed future plans at Shaw, to include building resiliency of 9th Air Force (AFCENT). The first of these plans was realized this past spring with the current repositioning of the Kingpin mission –and the more than 150 Airmen and coalition partners who support it –from the Middle East to Sumter.
