high operations tempo the wing faced that year. In total, the 482 FW contributed more than 200 personnel mobilized to active duty in support of Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, predominately from security forces, services, and civil engineering squadron. In December 2003, Homestead ARS was renamed Homestead Air Reserve Base. However, for a third time, Homestead ARB again faced potential closure and, despite its recent combat experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, the 482 FW also faced potential inactivation, this time from the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The wing received numerous visits throughout the year from government decision makers and the BRAC Commission eventually decided to keep Homestead ARB open, to include redistributing nine additional F-16 aircraft from other Air Reserve Component F-16 bases that were changing to aircraft other than the F-16 or losing flying missions outright. From 15 July 2010 to 1 October 2012, the 482 FW also functioned as the parent wing for a new geographically separated unit (GSU), the 414th Fighter Group (414 FG), an AFRC unit flying the F-15E Strike Eagle as an Associate unit to ACC's 4th Fighter Wing (4 FW) at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. In October 2012, parent wing responsibility for the 414 FG and its associated fighter squadron and maintenance squadron shifted from the 482 FW to the 944th Fighter Wing (944 FW) at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. In 2015, ACC activated an Active Associate unit at Homestead ARB, the 367th Fighter Squadron (367 FS), under the Total Force Integration (TFI) initiative, embedding the squadron in the 482 FW. The establishment of the 367 FS, with over 170 active duty F-16 pilots, operational support personnel, and aircraft maintenance personnel, marked the return of a permanently based Regular Air Force flying unit to Homestead ARB for the first time since the 1994 departure of the 31 FW. In addition to its past deployments in support of the since concluded Operations Northern Watch, Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom, the 482 FW has also participated in Operation New Horizons, Operation Unified Response, and Operation New Dawn, and it continues to provide support for Operation Noble Eagle. As host wing for Homestead ARB, the 482 FW also provides base support for several tenant commands and units, to include: Detachment 1, 125th Fighter Wing (Det 1, 125 FW), Florida Air National Guard from that unit's home
