The 96th Air Refueling Squadron officially deactivated

Col. Charles Velino, 15th Operations Group commander, receives the guidon as Lt. Col. Jason Work, 96th Air Refueling Squadron commander, relinquishes command during the 96th ARS deactivation ceremony on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Sept. 3, 2015. The 96th Air Refueling Squadron was reactivated on July 23, 2010, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, in response to an increased demand for in-flight air refueling support throughout the Pacific theater. Since its reactivation, the 96th Air Refueling Squadron flew more than 1,800 sorties, totaling over 6,500 hours and offloading more than 36-million pounds of fuel to thousands of joint and multinational aircraft.
