567th RED HORSE SQUADRON Rapid Engineer Deployable, Heavy Operational Repair Squadron, Engineer (RED HORSE) squadrons provide the Air Force with a highly mobile civil engineering capability in support of contingency and special operations worldwide. They are self-sufficient, mobile squadrons that provide heavy construction support such as runway/facility construction, electrical upgrades, and equipment transport when requirements exceed normal base civil engineer capabilities and where Army engineer support is not readily available. RED HORSE possesses weapons, vehicles/equipment and vehicle maintenance, food service, supply, and medical equipment. RED HORSE engineers accomplish required support for the beddown of weapon systems and installation of critical utility and support systems to initiate and sustain operations - especially in austere, bare base environments. They are manned, equipped, and trained to conduct heavy engineering operations as independent, self-sustaining units in remote, hostile locations. The primary RED HORSE tasking in peacetime is to train for contingency and wartime operations. It participates regularly in Joint Chiefs of Staff and major command exercises, military operations other than war, and humanitarian civic action programs. RED HORSE performs training projects that assist base construction efforts while, at the same time, honing wartime skills. The 567th RED HORSE Squadron is a 209-person mobile squadron capable of rapid response and independent operations in remote, high-threat environments worldwide. It was established on November 1, 2008, at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC.
