Thanks for linking. Those video re-creations are tough to watch, but are excellent and helpful learning tools.

Looks like the Puerto Rico ANG transitioned into contingency/disaster response and communications support after the mishap, with this 2019 article citing "....systemic issues plaguing the unit. The Accident Investigation Board report highlighted a disregard of maintenance practices, a “good enough” mentality on maintenance, and an overall view that the PR ANG was disconnected from the rest of the Air Force because their aircraft were not combat-coded and were outdated, meaning there was no feeling that they were directly connected to a mission"
