The 379th Bombardment Wing was based at Wurtsmith AFB (MI). Buffs from the squadron were flown on missions against Iraq (1990-1991) and staged out of Prince Abdullah AB in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). These planes were part of the 1708th Bombardment Wing (Provisional), a provisional wing formed from B-52s out of Barksdale, Castle, Wurtsmith, and others. The planes arrived at dawn on the first day of the air war. This plane flew 14 missions out of Jeddah. During the Gulf War, 379th Bomb Wing aircraft carried the "Triangle K".

This Su-25 was nicknamed Frogger and its main role was as a tankbuster hence the frog hammering the tank on the tail. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic acquired twenty-four Su-25Ks and one Su-25UBK. In December 2000, the Czech Su-25s were retired from service.
