===Post-Cold War era=== In the 1990s, the 355 TTW continued to train A-10 crews for assignments to units in the United States, England, and [[Korea]]. During this period, the 602nd Tactical Air Control Wing deployed Airborne Forward Air Controllers in their OA-10 aircraft to [[Operation Desert Storm]], providing nearly 100 percent of this capability to the war. On 1 October 1991, the 355 TTW was redesignated as the '''355th Fighter Wing''' (355 FW) in tune with the Air Force's Objective Wing philosophy. The 355th Fighter Wing was composed of the 355th Operations Group (355 OG), the 355th Maintenance Group (355 MG), the 355th Medical Group (355 MDG), and the 355th Mission Support Group (355 MSG). [[File:Dm-a10c.jpg|thumb|A newly modified A-10C Thunderbolt II taxis into Davis–Monthan AFB.]] In May 1992, the [[41st Electronic Combat Squadron|41st]] and [[43d Electronic Combat Squadron]]s, flying [[Lockheed C-130 Hercules|EC-130H Hercules Compass Call]] arrived. The aircraft carried an airborne battlefield command and control center capsule that provides continuous control of tactical air operations in the forward battle area and behind enemy lines. This capability added yet more strength to the wing's combat capability. The 43rd Electronic Combat Squadron "Bats" are part of the [[55th Wing]] at [[Offutt Air Force Base|Offutt AFB]], [[Nebraska]], but operate out of Davis–Monthan. In addition, the 42d Airborne Command and Control Squadron arrived from [[Keesler Air Force Base|Keesler AFB]], [[Mississippi]] on 19 July 1994. On 1 May 1992, senior Air Force leaders implemented the policy of one base, one wing, one boss. The 836 AD and 602 TAIRCW inactivated (the later on 15 June 1992) while the 41 ECS and 43 ECS came under control of the 355 FW. With the mission diversified, the 355th Fighter Wing was re-designated as the '''355th Wing''' (355 WG).
