VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia - Virginia National Guard Airmen assigned to the Virginia Beach-based 203rd Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers, 192nd Mission Support Group, 192nd Wing, train on their expeditionary skills during a field training exercise Nov. 3, 2023, at the State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Airmen set up two separate operational sites, established a security perimeter and conducted security operations such as responding to demonstrations outside the gate, assaults on the base and other hostile situations. The 203rd RED HORSE provides highly-mobile civil engineering teams to support contingency and special operations worldwide. They are self-sufficient with rapid response capabilities for independent operations in remote, high-threat environments and can create or repair runways and erect permanent structures in a matter of weeks from concept and design to engineering and construction.
