PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- A group of roughly 30 Reserve pilots, aircrew members and support personnel from the 920th Rescue Wing’s HC-130P/N Hercules squadron here soar above their friends, families and co-workers today on their way to a two-month deployment to Camp Lemonier, a combined, joint base at Djibouti, Africa. The men and women will provide combat search and rescue support to the Horn of Africa region, which is comprised of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. The mission falls under the command of Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa. A variant of the Hercules, the HC-130 P/N has the ability to refuel other aircraft in flight, which greatly increases the range of Air Force combat rescue helicopters. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech.
