    Red Horse History

    Some History

     

    Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer (RED HORSE) squadrons are the United States Air Force's heavy-construction units.


     The 556th was established 3 February 1966. Deployed to U-Tapao AB, Thailand in 1966.  In addition to the main unit at U-Tapao,  the 556th also established detachments at five other Thai bases.  The 556th remained in Thailand until its inactivation at U Tapao in late 1969.


    In Southeast Asia, RED HORSE squadrons became involved in all types of

    horizontal and vertical construction and proved themselves to be highly

    effective for rapid buildup of tactical air bases. They constructed

    literally thousands of contingency projects such as revetments, aircraft

    shelters, modular buildings, airfield parking ramps, runways, and utilities.


    RED HORSE squadrons are 400 man, self-sufficient, civil engineering units

    with considerable construction resources and internal logistics capability.


    Along with all traditional construction trades and equipment, RED HORSE

    squadrons are manned and equipped to provide their own vehicle maintenance,

    supply, messing, and medical dispensary operations. In the RED HORSE staff

    are deployable budget, administration, and safety technicians. The squadrons

    are also manned with logistics plans personnel for organic airlift and sealift

    mobility planning.
