2015年9月2日，希尔空军基地首批两架 F-35A“闪电”II 联合攻击战斗机抵达。依计划，总共有72架“闪电”II 分配给该基地的第388和第419战斗机联队。（The first two combat-coded F-35A Lightning II aircraft arrive at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Sept. 2. Hill was selected as the location for the first operational F-35A fleet and will receive up to 70 additional jets on a staggered basis through 2019. Hill Airmen from the active-duty 388th and Reserve 419th Fighter Wings will fly and maintain the fleet. Standing up the first operational F-35A unit at Hill allows for synergy with the co-located F-35 depot maintenance team, and access to the nearby Utah Test and Training Range.）
