The U.S. Air Force selected Kirtland Air Force Base (AFB), New Mexico, as the preferred location for the relocation of the AC-130J Ghostrider Formal Training Unit from Hurlburt Field, Florida.
The AC-130J is a fourth generation gunship and its primary missions are close air support, air interdiction and armed reconnaissance.

This relocation allows for Air Force Special Operations Command to realign its training mission under Air Education and Training Command and consolidate AC-130 initial and mission qualification training at Kirtland AFB. This realignment includes seven aircraft and 372 positions.
The Air Force will complete a required environmental impact analysis before a final decision is made; the start of relocating the Formal Training Unit is expected to begin in the summer of 2022.
