MOODY AIR FORCE BASE – Two male Afghan air force students did not report for duty yesterday at their regular maintenance training at Moody AFB

According to a Moody AFB release, both are assigned to the 81st Fighter Squadron. They have been at Moody since February 2015 and were screened prior to their arrival in the United States more than a year ago.

The students have trained alongside American counterparts for the entirety of 2015.  The Air Force is stating that they do not believe the two “pose any apparent threat”.

There is a well-coordinated process among federal agencies to locate the individuals as quickly as possible and return them accordingly to the proper authorities to manage their present situation.
