Erik Thompson, 27 SOW command chief, sit during a 524 SOS end of mission ceremony at Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., May 31, 2017. The 524th is relocating to Duke Field, Florida, where the command will change hands from the 27th SOW to the 492nd SOW. The squadron has ties back to WWII, before it received its numerical designation of 524. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Michael Washburn/Released)
