Summary

[edit]
Description Virginia Guard Airmen from the Virginia Beach-based 203rd RED HORSE Squadron demonstrate their capabilities to employers Feb. 18 at the State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach. Working with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve organization, the squadron hosted a lunch for employers to educate them about their capabilities and thank them for their support as the squadron conducts final preparations for federal active duty in Afghanistan and other locations in the Central Command area of operations. The tour on federal active duty began Feb. 17 for approximately 125 Airmen, and they will report to Fort McCoy, Wisc. in early March for three weeks of Combat Skills Training before heading overseas. The unit is expect to be mobilized for six to eight months and should be back in the United State in time for Christmas. RED HORSE stands for Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers, and the unit provides a highly mobile civil engineering response force to support contingency operations worldwide. The squadron's capabilities include construction of airfields, roads, runways, vertical structures and major utility systems as well as explosive demolitions, quarry operations, material testing, expedient facility erection, concrete and asphalt paving and well drilling to provide fresh water to military and local population.
