The service is keeping five C-145s at the base for the 6<sup>th<\/sup> Special Operations Squadron at the base, which is tasked with training militaries across the globe, AFSOC Commander Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold said in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of maintaining the C-145 fleet, the command is looking at leasing various aircraft for training international militaries as opposed to purchasing each of those aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The units at Duke are not seeing a decrease in training demand, according to the Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The operations tempo remains the same,&#8221; Maj. Terrell Eikner, the commander of the 919<sup>th<\/sup> Special Operations Maintenance Squadron, said in a release this week. &#8220;We just have fewer aircraft to meet those demands.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In November, the squadron will receive the first C-146A Wolfhound, a military version of the Dornier 328 commuter airliner, for training and other missions. The command has flown the aircraft since 2011, and it has deployed for special operations across four geographic commands since, according to the Air Force. The service will eventually field 17 of the aircraft. The aircraft has a longer range and can carry more passengers and a heavier payload for operational missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force Special Operations Command
