248th Air Traffic Control Squadron Mission Expands

KEY FIELD AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Miss. -- The 248th Air Traffic Control Squadron (ATCS) recently transitioned to the Combat Airfield Operations Squadron (CAOS). The 248th CAOS has a rich history dating back to its inception in 1997 as the 248th Air Traffic Control Squadron. Initially established to provide air traffic control services, the squadron holds a vital role in managing airspace and ensuring safe flight operations. However, as warfare evolved and the need for more agile and flexible operations increased, the squadron underwent a significant transformation to meet modern combat demands.
