Robins supports Libyan operations Published April 1, 2011 By Wayne Crenshaw 78th ABW/PA ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Team Robins is lending help in a big way to Operation Odyssey Dawn - the coalition effort to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya. The 116th Air Control Wing has deployed aircraft and personnel in support of the mission, said Judy Smith, 116th spokeswoman. The 116th, which has deployed extensively in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, flies the E-8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar aircraft, or JSTARS. The primary role of the aircraft is to track enemy ground targets. The F-15 Eagle, C-5s and C-17s have also been involved in the effort, as has the Global Hawk - an unmanned aircraft which performs an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission. Personnel and equipment of the 116th were transported to the theater by two C-5s. Global Hawks have been used primarily for bomb-damage assessment. Among other things, the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center's Aerospace Sus-tainment Directorate manages the F-15, C-5, C-17 and Global Hawk programs. The 402nd Mainten-ance Wing provides programmed and unscheduled depot-level maintenance on F-15s, C-5s and C-17s, and more.
