Since the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, the 4th, 34th, and 421st Fighter Squadrons and the 729th Air Control Squadron have actively engaged in the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021), Iraqi Freedom and the home defence Operation Noble Eagle, defending the nation at home and abroad. The wing continued to develop its role of Forward Air Control-Airborne. Assorted support personnel were deployed en masse or individually from within each unit of the 388 FW.[4]

The 388 FW continued its dominance into the 21st century by avidly and diligently deploying its personnel on a continuous loop of AEF deployments, while taking on new roles with Forward Air Control – Airborne.[4]

The 388th Range Squadron, coupled with the Utah Test and Training Range, have continued to provide test and training opportunities to the world’s F-16 fleet through many local and off-base exercises, to include Air Warrior, Amalgam Thunder, Combat Archer, Cope Thunder, Exercise Iron Falcon, Maple Flag, Red Flag, and support for the Fighter Weapon Instructor Course (FWIC) and Tactical Air Control Parties (TACP).[4]

On 22 June 2009 a single-seat F-16 from the wing’s 421st Fighter Squadron on a training mission crashed in the Utah Test and Training Range. The pilot, Captain George Bryan Houghton, 28, was killed.[9]

On 2 September 2015, the first two Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II aircraft arrived at Hill AFB to begin the transition to the aircraft that is scheduled to finish in 2019.[10]
