1/4/2006 - WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- The California Air National Guard's 163rd Air Refueling Wing at March Air Reserve Base will the home for a new MQ-1 Predator unit.

The announcement was made today by the Air Force, National Guard Bureau and the Adjutant General of California. The move is part of ongoing total force initiatives.

This transformation converts the unit to the 163rd Wing, and represents another example of the Air National Guard supporting global operations with its total force partners.
