    The 232nd plays a vital role in combat operations, operational testing, and advanced training for the Air Force and the Air National Guard. The 232nd Operations Squadron includes operations, intelligence, and maintenance elements that all combine to support remote-piloted aircraft and manned fighter aircraft. They work seamlessly with several active duty units and have taken on more numerous and visible roles within the active duty structure in southern Nevada. At Creech Air Force Base north of Las Vegas, the active-duty Air Force’s 432nd Wing continued to expand its MQ-1 and MQ-9 combat air patrol missions at an exponential rate while working closely with the Nevada Air Guard, the Air Force Reserves, and the British Royal Air Force. The experience level and reputation of the 232nd High Rollers is reflected by the key positions held by its Airmen within each of the 10 air combat command squadrons associated with unmanned operations. Nevada pilots, sensor operators, intelligence specialists and maintainers fill many key positions including those of commander, director of operations, assistant director of operations and several shop chiefs and supervisors. In fact, the 432nd recently selected a Nevada Guard member to command the 30th Reconnaissance Squadron which flies the Air Force’s newest and most advanced remote-piloted aircraft. Another active duty squadron at Creech is responsible for training hundreds of initial, senior officer, launch and recovery, instructor-upgrade, and U.S.- allied Predator crews each year. Many Nevada Guard pilots work with that unit, using their acumen to strengthen the training experience. The 232nd also holds key positions within the RPA testing community and is rapidly expanding that role as its long-time operators’ corporate knowledge provides necessary operational test and tactics development to the U.S. Air Force’s
