💪🦊 Ready. Resilient. Stronger Together.

South Carolina Air National Guard first sergeants have launched a new physical training initiative — the Swamp Fox Diamond Corps — designed to build fitness, leadership, and accountability across the wing.

Led by Master Sgt. Manley McKinley, the program brings Airmen together during drill weekends for group workouts that strengthen readiness and unit cohesion.

“When we train together, we build stronger Airmen and stronger teams. That’s how we stay ready.”

🇺🇸 From calisthenics to cardio, Diamond Corps is forging physically and mentally resilient leaders — preparing SCANG Airmen to answer the call for state and federal missions.

Radar, airfield, and weather systems technicians verify critical communication systems at McEntire Joint National Guard Base to ensure controllers and maintenance crews can coordinate safely and effectively during airfield operations.

Every system check strengthens our ability to generate airpower on demand and respond at a moment’s notice, at home station or in austere environments worldwide.

Jets launched. Skills tested. Standards upheld.

This year was built on preparation, trust, and Airmen who know readiness is not a switch you flip, it’s a mindset you carry every day. This wrap-up video tells the story of a team that stayed ready no matter what the calendar threw at us.

2025 didn’t slow us down. 2026 won’t either. 🦊

Our Airmen conducted an Integrated Combat Turn training event at McEntire, strengthening important rapid-generation skills in the fighter mission set. An ICT is a fast, carefully coordinated process that allows an F-16 to land, refuel, reload munitions, and take off again with minimal time on the ground.

These events bring maintenance, weapons, fuels and operations together as one team to practice the speed, precision and communication required in high-tempo environments. The goal is to demonstrate that we can generate combat airpower quickly, safely and reliably when it matters most.
