By 1989, the 482 TFW also began retiring its F-4C aircraft and transitioning to the F-16A and F-16B. Finally, in 1990, the 301 ARRS was again redesignated as the 301st Air Rescue Squadron (301 ARS).<sup id="cite_ref-homestead.afrc.af.mil_4-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-homestead.afrc.af.mil-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Following <a href="/wiki/Operation_Desert_Storm" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Desert Storm">Operation DESERT STORM</a> in Spring 1991, the 31 TFW began retiring its F-16A and F-16B aircraft and transitioning to the <a href="/wiki/F-16_Fighting_Falcon" class="mw-redirect" title="F-16 Fighting Falcon">F-16C and F-16D Block 40</a> variant. </p><p>In 1992, the Air Force went through its most massive structural reorganization since its establishment as a separate service in September 1947.

With this change, all flying units at Homestead AFB became part of ACC, either directly in the case of active duty units, or operationally-gained in the case of assigned AFRES and ANG units.
