OSAA Change of Command/Responsibility, Part 2

National Guard Bureau

Sept. 30, 2015 | 16:56

On 04 October 2015, OSAA will transition to become an Activity and align the entire organization under the Military District of Washington (MDW) reporting directly to the Commander of the Army Air Operations Group (AAOG). Under the Operational Support Airlift restructure, 48 state/territories will convert from TDA to MTOE detachments leaving 5 states to remain as TDA state flight detachments. ARNG will close three of four Regional Flight Centers to include Ft. Hood, TX; Elmendorf AFB, AK; and Joint Base Lewis-McCord, WA assigned to OSACOM. The ARNG will align the Ft. Belvoir Regional Flight Center under MDW/AAOG and transfer four UC-35s and one C-12 aircraft to establish a non-executive OSA flight detachment at Ft. Belvoir. The Operational Support Airlift Activity will begin its restructure under an O5 command as OSACOM is dissolved and absorbed under AAOG and the active duty fixed wing programs.
