This sign is at the front entrance to the 202nd Red Horse Squadron.
This picture is of the Airfield Shop in the 202nd Red Horse Squadron. For you Civil Engineers that don't know what Airfields does or is it is the Construction Heavy Equipment Operators and Pavements Technitions. Or in other words this is where the "Dirt Boys" work out of. Bet you didn't think they where worthy of such a nice building did you? But they are the backbone of Red Horse Units!
This is the first Dining Facility that the 202nd Red Horse Squadron had when first activated. The 202nd now have a modern Dining Hall and it is managed by Staff Sergeant Nickols.
This is an R-102, "Delta Dart" that was donated to the 202nd Red Horse Squadron. They installed this Delta Dart at the front entrance to Camp Blanding, Starke, Florida.
This is a picture of Don Averett admiring the Red Horse Statue in the 202nd Red Horse Compound. Don was a member of the first Red Horse Squadron that went to Vietnam shortly after it's inception.
This is a group photo of the 202nd with some visiters. Sitting in the front row with a blue jacket on is Don Averett.
"To The Horse" emblem that was displayed on a screen at a social gathering of the 202nd Red Horse Squadron....
This is the Welding Shop and their storage area.
This is SMSgt Carroll who works in the Airfields Shop.
This is the 202nd Red Horse Squadron's Vehicle Maintenance Shop.
This shows the runway that is used for training purposes by Red Horse at Camp Blanding. Off the runway is gravel and soil that is used for training.
This is a crator training area on the runway. It is presently filled with aggragates and ready for AM-2 or Fiberglass Matting repairs. Then the Aircraft would be able to use the runway.
This picture shows you stacked AM-2 matting that is used to repair bomb crators on runways and aircraft parking ramps. AM-2 matting is made from aluminum. When assembling AM-2 matting each piece interlocks with another piece and then it is pinned horizontally to keep it that way when the aircraft land on it or taxi over it.
This picture shows a fiberglass matt that can be used in lieu of AM-2 matting. Fiberglass Matting is quicker to lay down and is less labor intensive than AM-2 matting, but it is not as sturdy and requires replacing quicker than AM-2 matting. However if you can get the crators completed quicker, then your aircraft can be in the sky waiting for the enemy when they return for a second round of bombing your runway.
This is the B-1 Revetment Training Area. In the back ground you can see unassembled Revetment that is stacked. On the right hand side you can see one B-1 revetment bin that has been assembled. B-1 revetments can be stacked up to as high as twelve feet and then they are filled with sand. B-1 revetments are use pins to hold them together instead of nuts and bolts that was required on the ARMCO Revetments that where used during the Vietnam Era. B-1 Revetments use much lighter metal gauge than do ARMCO Revetments and are quicker to errect. But they are also labor intensive to erect.
This is the 202nd's Water and Sanitation Training Area.
This is another shot of the Water and Sanitation Training Area. On the left of the building there appears to be a lift station for training purposes.
This is a photo of the 202nd's Electrical Storage Area. Note that everything is palatized and ready to go on a moments notice.
This is a photo of the Red Horse Electical Training Area at Camp Blanding.
This is High Voltages electrical training area.
This shows us the 202nd Red Horse Weighing Scales that is used to weigh items for aircraft and highway safety.
This is an olive drab painted tracked front-end-loader. This particular front-end-loader is located at the 202nd Red Horse Squadron's entryway to the compound. It had once been burned in a fire and was rebuilt later.
This is a CAT Excavator setting beside two motorized road graders.
Here you have seven of the ten brand new Freighliner Dump Trucks that the 202nd Red Horse Squadron just received to replace their old fleet of dump trucks.
This is another picture of the Catapiller Excavator. Notice the three Bobcats setting behind and to the left of the Excavator.
In this photo we have two new International Fuel Trucks. And as you may have guessed one is for diesel and the other is for gas or as it is normally called in the military mogas. If your going to work on projects you need fuel to keep the heavy equipment running.
In this photo we have a brand spanking new Caterpillar Tracked Front-End-Loader. And we know it is new because the paint isn't worn off of the inside of the bucket. Just one thing wrong with this loader--- it's not a four in one bucket. That would make it easier to take out trees and stumps found in Florida.
