Rescue wing sends replacements to Afghanistan

December 31st, 2008
A group of Air Force Reserve Command Airmen from the 920th Rescue Wing here departed on the last leg of a 14-month deployment to Afghanistan Dec. 27 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Approximately 40 helicopter aircrew members, maintenance specialists and logistics and support personnel gathered with their friends and families at the wing's helicopter squadron facility for tearful farewells.

The reservists will be replacing a similar-sized group of rescue-wing Airmen already in Afghanistan supporting the U.S. Army medical evacuation operation.
