D/3-160 SOAR Deactivates

Hunter AAF's D Company, 3-160 SOAR deactivated on Thursday. Personnel from the unit are to be split between the new 4-160 SOAR at Ft. Lewis, Washington and C Company, 3-160 SOAR at Hunter AAF. According to the Savannah Morning News, this is part of a reoganization of the 160 SOAR that will see as many as 16 MH-47s at Hunter AAF. That report accounts for the higher number of MH-47Gs heard at Hunter AAF over the number of MH-47s that 3-160 SOAR previously had.
