If the Air Force recruiter I met in high school had told me I could jump out of airplanes and drill water wells around the world, I would have signed up immediately. And that is exactly what the 820 RED HORSE is trained to do.
The squadron, made up of 550 men and women, is responsible for rapid response to civil engineering and logistics needs around the world. The RED HORSE or Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer can go nearly anywhere and do nearly anything under nearly any condition.
