Photographers Narrative

 

The 1st Expeditionary RED HORSE Group travels the Air Forces Central area of responsibility and performs heavy damage repair and construction to ensure the Air Force mission continues downrange.  These Airmen built a new RED HORSE headquarters building, which brought all of the planning, logistics, and administrative sections under one roof to better organize future projects. It was interesting to watch them build a new home for themselves from the ground to the final product.
