Following the Belkan War, and the 148th Fighter Squadron 'Fighting Wrens' operational role switching from Air Defense to Foreign Military Training, The Osean Air Defense Force set out to establish a new air national guard unit in Southern Osea to fulfill the Air Defense Needs. In June of 1998, it was announced that Califia would be taking on the new Squadron and the 408th was reactivated as a Tactical Fighter Squadron flying F-2A "Viper Zeros", with Aircraft delivery in 2000 and full operational capabilities in late 2001.
The Squadron would not see any service outside of Training until 2010 during the Yuktobanian Air Raid over November City. Due to miscommunication between Units, the Combat Air Patrol overhead the city lacked reinforcements until a detachment of the 408th arrived under the Governor's orders. Quickly the additional support routed the enemy attack and saving the city.
Today the 408 stands as the southern Guardians of Osea, ready for whoever or whatever comes their way
