美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯签署备忘录，指示在佛罗里达州成立新的空军国民警卫队特种战术中队，以加强特种作战能力并提高军事准备状态，五角大楼周三表示。
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum directing the establishment of a new Air National Guard Special Tactics Squadron in Florida to strengthen special operations capabilities and improve military readiness, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
该声明称，新单位将部署在关键美国特种作战司令部附近，包括位于麦克迪尔空军基地的美国特种作战司令部（USSOCOM）和位于赫尔伯特机场的空军特种作战司令部（AFSOC）。
The new unit will be positioned near key US special operations commands, including US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) at MacDill Air Force Base and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) at Hurlburt Field, it said in a statement.
此举旨在加深空军国民警卫队与现役特种作战部队的整合，同时扩大战斗作战、侦察和人员救援方面的能力。
The move aims to deepen integration between the Air National Guard and active-duty special operations forces while expanding capabilities for combat operations, reconnaissance and personnel recovery.
“在赫格塞斯部长的领导下，我们正在扩大我们的精英特种战术社区，”五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔表示。
“Under the leadership of Secretary Hegseth, we are growing our elite Special Tactics community,” said chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.
帕内尔补充说，该备忘录指示成立该中队，将该单位置于赫尔伯特机场和麦克迪尔空军基地特种作战社区的中心位置。
The memorandum directs the establishment of the squadron, placing the unit at the center of the special operations community at Hurlburt Field and MacDill Air Force Base, Parnell added.
五角大楼表示，该佛罗里达州单位将借鉴空军国民警卫队人员的经验，加强战斗控制、跳伞救援和特种侦察方面的能力。
The Pentagon said the Florida-based unit would strengthen capabilities in combat control, pararescue and special reconnaissance by drawing on the experience of Air National Guard personnel.
