In its 2005 BRAC Recommendations, DoD recommended to close Mansfield Lahm Air National Guard Base (AGS), OH. It would move the 179th Airlift Wing's (ANG) flying related Expeditionary Combat Support (ECS) to Toledo Express Airport AGS, OH (fire fighters).

DoD also recommended to realign Des Moines Air National Guard Base, Iowa. The F-16 aircraft currently assigned to the 132d Fighter Wing at Des Moines would be redistributed to the 180th Fighter Wing, Toledo Express Airport AGS, OH (nine aircraft) and another installation.
