4/22/2013 - HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Master Sgt. Kirk Andrascik, 419th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, embraces his wife, Jenna, upon returning to Hill Air Force Base today following a four-month deployment to Kunsan Air Base in the Republic of Korea.

Nearly 30 Air Force Reservists from the 419th Fighter Wing and nearly 120 active duty personnel from the 388th Fighter Wing supported a 180-day U.S. Pacific Command Theater Security Package rotation to the region. Fighter units across the Air Force routinely augment the 8th FW there to maintain a balance of forces and deter aggression from the north.
