HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii --  Fifty-four Reservists from the 624th Civil Engineer Squadron, which falls under the 624th Regional Support Group, have been mobilized to deploy to Afghanistan for six months.

The 624th Regional Support Group headquartered at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, is the largest Air Force Reserve presence in the Pacific and reports directly to 4th Air Force at March Air Reserve Base, Calif. The group provides the combatant commander more than 650 combat-ready Airmen who specialize in aerial port, aeromedical staging and civil engineering operations for worldwide employment. The group has units at Hickam and Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The Hickam units include the 624th Civil Engineer Squadron, 624th Aeromedical Staging Squadron and 48th Aerial Port Squadron. The Andersen units include the 44th Aerial Port Squadron and 724th Aeromedical Staging Flight.
