185th ARW Operations Building dedication

185th Air Refueling Wing, Iowa Air National Guard

Oct. 14, 2023 | 3:10

B-roll video shows the Operations Building dedication at the Iowa Air National Guard’s 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City, Iowa on October 14, 2023.

Video shows 185th Air Refueling Wing commander Col Sonya Morrison along with 185th Operations Group Commander Col. Todd Miller officially dedicating newly remodeled building with a ribbon cutting event. The two-year-long project started with a complete demolition of the interior of the building.

The nearly $12 million dollar 31,000 sq ft project was designed specifically for the Air Refueling mission, including the U.S. Air Force command and control Global ASNT system.

Along with numerous improvements, the construction added a new alert facility that will allow the 185th to expand their alert mission capability.

The redesigned was a welcome update to the facility that was originally set up in 2002 when the unit converted from flying fighter jets to air refueling.

By contrast, the new construction is a purpose-built Operations Building that was specifically designed for the Wing’s air refueling mission.
