SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C.
A North Carolina-based fighter squadron is sending personnel to Afghanistan.
The 335th Fighter Squadron, based at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, deployed approximately 300 personnel on Sunday. Base spokesman Lt. Matt Schroff said no aircraft would be sent to Afghanistan.
The squadron flies F-15E Strike Eagles, which can provide air cover for ground troops. The 335th deployed to Iraq in 2003 and flew more than 1,500 missions.
The squadron was constituted in 1942 and made up of pilots who flew with the Royal Air Force before the United States entered World War II.
