The U.S. Air Force added to the unit&#8217;s responsibilities in 2013, tasking it with training all C-130H flight crews and increasing the number of airmen it trains yearly from about 350 to about 800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Dom Sarnataro, the commander of the 189th Operations Group, said the new mission has &#8220;changed almost everything we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We had been taking on very experienced crew members and making them an instructor. You have a very knowledgeable person to teach,&#8221; Sarnataro said. &#8220;Now we&#8217;re opening it up to everybody, so we&#8217;re taking a wide range of students, from folks who really have never even seen a C-130 to folks who have been flying for quite a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To handle the increase, a spokesman for the 189th said the state&#8217;s Air National Guard gained 150 personnel last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of C-130s the unit flew has increased from 9 to 12, according to Sarnataro. The heavy workload caused the unit to borrow six more aircraft from other units, doubling what its total had been before 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 189th is facing its busiest year in fiscal 2016, after the Air Force asked it to train 900 C-130H crew members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unit still has the help of the 314th Airlift Wing, an active-duty unit at the Little Rock Air Force Base. Sarnataro said the airmen who augment the 189th&#8217;s training are still &#8220;vital&#8221; as the number of crew members the unit is expected to train remains high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We couldn&#8217;t do it without them,&#8221; Sarnataro said. &#8220;They are flying with us; they are instructors; they are training in every crew position we have.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Arkansas Air National Guard official said a new mission to train more crew members on the C-130H aircraft has &#8220;completely
