The RSAF’s Peace Carvin V detachment was inaugurated at Mountain Home Air Force Base, training personnel for the operationalisation of the F-15SG.

The RSAF's Peace Carvin V detachment was established in October 2008 as part of the United States Air Force’s 428th Fighter Squadron, and comprised about 250 personnel. The detachment held air-to-air and air-to-ground training as well as development programmes to operationalise the F-15SG. Personnel also took part in various US Air Force exercises to hone their professional skills and enhance their combat readiness. The detachment was inaugurated on 20 November 2009 at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
