Air Force civil engineers that form the highly effective mobile RED HORSE units operating throughout Southwest Asia would not be able to complete their tasks without their logistical hub, reports SrA. Erik Hofmeyer in the Desert Eagle. The 1st Expeditionary RED HORSE Group supplies all the forward teams, providing management and maintenance of more that 75 different types of vehicles used for transportation and heavy construction and collect and ship all equipment and supplies to teams in the field currently working 151 projects.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
