This Sherpa served the 10th Military Airlift Squadron. The squadron was activated at Zweibrucken (Germany) on 15 January 1984, and was equipped with these short-range transports for personnel and light cargo within the US Air Force Europe. The squadron was inactivated in March 1991 as part of USAFE drawdown at the end of the Cold War. The 10th was activated again in 2003 as a C-17 aircrew training squadron at McChord AFB (WA).
