HILL AIR FORCE BASE — Iraq and Afghanistan have been the focal point for military operations during much of the past decade, but during those years, troops have toiled in other parts of the world, too. Friday at Hill Air Force Base was a reminder of that, as nearly 200 personnel from Hill’s active-duty 388th Fighter Wing and Air Force Reserve 419th Fighter Wing left for a joint deployment to the Asia-Pacific region.
