BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - Airmen assigned to the 557th Expeditionary Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineers (RED HORSE) Squadron from Hurlburt Field, Florida, worked into the night completing construction of Munitions Road here Dec. 2.
The road, locally known as Muns or Ammo Road, was developed to provide Airmen transporting munitions a more efficient, secure and isolated avenue to do so. Previously, munitions were transported on commonly used base roads requiring additional time and personnel to temporarily close the roads.
“This road will enable munitions to be delivered to aircraft in a minimal amount of time without impacting the base populace,” said Senior Master Sgt. Adam Brothers, 557th RED HORSE site superintendent.
According to the RED HORSE fact sheet, RED HORSE squadrons provide the Air Force with a highly-mobile civil engineering response force to support contingency and special operations worldwide. These units possess weapons, vehicles, equipment and vehicle maintenance, food service, emergency management, contracting, supply and medical equipment and personnel to provide a self-sufficient force. They provide heavy-repair capability and construction support when requirements exceed normal base civil engineer capabilities.
