A U.S. Aviation Detachment was activated here Nov. 9, 2012.

Airmen assigned to the detachment will come from across the Air Force and will be attached to the 52nd Fighter Wing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, under the 52nd Operations Group, Detachment 1.

The detachment will be an enduring presence with 10 Airmen, but F-16 and C-130 crews and aircraft will rotate periodically for training, where the total number of personnel could surge up to 250.

"We've put together an excellent team, and everybody's eager to begin the first rotations of aircraft, so that our Airmen have an excellent opportunity for training," said Maj. Matthew Spears, 52nd OG, Det 1 commander.
