The new mission is anticipated to bring approximately 100 additional personnel to Moody, including Nigerian military,
civilians and contractors required to support training on 12 aircraft. The program will train an initial cadre of Nigerian
personnel, to include both maintenance personnel and pilots, who will become instructors.
The additional A-29 aircraft, procured by the Nigerian government, will in turn train additional personnel on this weapons
system to conduct offensive and defensive fires operations and reconnaissance and surveillance operations throughout
Nigeria to combat terrorism.
Under current plans, the aircraft may begin to arrive at Moody AFB in the summer of 2020 and the unit is planned to
become fully operational in the winter of 2021.
