615th CRW on the frontlines

Recently, more than 100 members of the 615th Contingency Response Wing deployed to two of the most remote forward-operating bases in western Afghanistan. Working with local nationals, joint and coalition forces, the wing quickly established and maintained airfield operations at forward operating bases Farah and Shindand. During a three-month period, Airmen handled more than 900 aircraft, moved more than 6,000 passengers and 4,500 tons of critical supplies to support U.S. and coalition campaigns against the Taliban. Whether supporting humanitarian operations or contingencies, the 615th CRW’s team of experts are fully trained and equipped to respond within 12 hours to any location around the world.
