The Green Hornets are deployed to Ramstein AB, Germany, for a 100-day Temporary Duty (TDY) tour assisting Operation JOINT GUARD (previously Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR). Flying C-130s every day to the Former Yugoslav region (primarily Tuzla) they pick up and deliver cargo and passengers in support of JOINT GUARD. JOINT GUARD is the multi-national peacekeeping mission that provides a climate of stability in the war-torn land of Bosnia-Herzegovina
