mission to conduct AETC's Enhanced Flight Screening Program. On 2 April 2001, it was transferred to Moody Air Force Base, Georgia where it became a T-6 Texan II primary flying training squadron as part of the 479th Flying Training Group. As a result of BRAC 2005, the 479th was inactivated on 21 July 2007. Its aircraft and equipment were redistributed to other AETC units. The 3rd moved to Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma later in April 2007 and was redesignated the 3rd Fighter Training Squadron to provide Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals training to fighter graduate students. The 3rd lost its IFF mission when the Air Force concentrated the training at three other bases in September 2011. In September 2012, the 32d Flying Training Squadron was inactivated, and its T-1 Jayhawk training mission and personnel were taken over by the newly reactivated 3rd FTS at Vance in order to preserve the latter's heritage.
