Finally, the 435th CRS advanced and achieved Agile Combat Employment objectives by adding the ability to rapidly refuel and launch F-15Es and MQ-9s back into the fight, a new capability not only for the contingency response enterprise, but an emerging one for the Air Force. Additionally, the squadron set up and received the 82nd Airborne Division into the European theater and partnered with them to help evacuees from Ukraine. They established the first and most critical logistics hub in NATO’s used to support Ukraine. The 435th CRS was the first unit in the DoD to the Ukrainian border. The award recognizes the CRS for excellence in personnel development, unit training, innovation, and mission impact. The 435th CRS won the Contingency Response Unit of the Year Award. The awards recognize the 435th Contingency Response Squadron and the 435th Contingency Response Support Squadron as the premier expeditionary squadrons in the Air Force. The 435th Contingency Response Group won three separate 2022 Air Mobility Support Operations Award categories: two at the squadron level and one individual award, April 2023. ![]()
