            **ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) --**Secretary of the Air Force **Frank Kendall** selected **Will Rogers Air National Guard Base**, Oklahoma, as the sole candidate location to replace its **MC-12 Liberty** with the AT-802U Sky Warden and to convert the MC-12 Formal Training Unit to the AT-802U Total Force Integration FTU.
Will Rogers ANGB will receive 28 AT-802Us and about 80 personnel to support the mission of the 310th Special Operations Squadron. The squadron will relocate from **Cannon Air Force Base**, New Mexico, to Will Rogers ANGB, creating an active association with the 185th SOS.
The AT-802 Sky Warden is a multi-role platform capable of close air support, armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and precision strike missions in support of geographically isolated special operations forces.
A site survey at the candidate location is scheduled in spring 2023 and will assess operational requirements, potential impacts to existing missions, housing, infrastructure and manpower.
Once the site survey is complete, the Department of the Air Force will conduct an environmental impact analysis, which is expected to be complete in fall 2023, before a final basing decision is made.LR
