The 123rd Contingency Response Group (CRG) is a unit of the 123rd Airlift Wing, Kentucky Air National Guard. Officially formed in 2009 it is the first of two Air National Guard CRG's along with the 108th CRG of the New Jersey Air National Guard. ==Mission== The primary mission of the 123rd CRG is to provide rapidly deployable forces to the United States Air Force to open forward airfields in an expeditionary environment as a completely self-contained unit. In addition, due to its unique mobile capability, the 123rd CRG is also utilized to provide quick reaction logistical support for humanitarian missions including man-made and natural disasters. The 123d has been described as an "air base in a box." The group acts as an early responder in the event of contingency operations worldwide. Its personnel are capable of deploying into remote airfields, providing command and control of aircraft, and establishing airfield operations so troops and cargo can flow into affected areas. Unit members represent a broad spectrum of specialties, including airfield security, ramp and cargo operations, aircraft maintenance, and command and control. In 2010, the group was one of two Air Force contingency response units to establish overseas airlift hubs supporting earthquake-recovery efforts in Haiti, directing the delivery of hundreds of tons of relief supplies into the Dominican Republic for subsequent trucking to Haiti.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「123rd Contingency Response Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
