The 355th Fighter Squadron 'Fighting Falcons', Alaska Air National Guard, deployed to Bagram (Afghanistan) in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2005. The unit was at that time based at Eielson (AK). The squadron was inactivated in August 2007. After an other reactivation in October 2015 and and inactivation on October 2019 (flying F-16s from Forth Worth) the squadron was reactivated again, this time with F-35As at (again) Eielson on 18 December 2020.
