A Thunderous Shift: 125th Fighter Wing Adopts A-Staff Construct

U.S. Air Force Col. Mansour G. Elhihi, commander of the 125th Fighter Wing, addresses the wing on its transition to the A-Staff construct at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base, Florida, Nov. 2. This shift is part of the new Air Force Force Generation model, which includes standardized A-Staffs for air expeditionary wings to provide enhanced support to commanders, improve crisis responsiveness, and streamline integration with joint force elements. Known as the Thunder, the 125th Fighter Wing is among the first Air National Guard units to adopt both the F-35 Lightning II and the A-Staff construct. These milestones highlight the wing's dedication to supporting the Air Force’s commitment to a new era of readiness and innovation. The unit is set to receive its first F-35 Lightning II in 2025.
