Construction on the new 55th Electronic Combat Group academic facility at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, began on 15 August 2013. This new $78 million complex will be the home of the 42nd Electronic Combat Squadron, which is charged as the US Air Force’s sole formal training unit for the Compass Call electronic attack mission. The facility will house the first flight deck simulator, two different mission crew simulators, a squadron operations center, office space for both Air Force and contractor instructors, and multiple training classrooms. The two mission crew simulators will represent the two distinct baseline aircraft configurations of the EC-130H Compass Call aircraft. The facility is expected to be completed by October 2014 and fully operational by December 2014.
