The 30th Airlift Squadron became the first active duty associate squadron earlier this year, marking a groundbreaking partnership between Air Mobility Command and the Wyoming Air National Guard. Under the active duty associate concept, the 30th AS will be the first active duty air mobility squadron to report operationally to an Air National Guard unit. The 153rd Airlift Wing, the Guard unit at Cheyenne Municipal Airport, provides operational support to the 30th AS. The two units share C-130H aircraft. Administratively, the 30th AS reports to the 463rd Airlift Group at Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, which provides funding, equipment, and personnel. The active duty associate concept at Cheyenne resulted from a Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommendation.
