Virginia Army National Guard Soldiers assigned to the East Africa Response
Force (EARF), Task Force Red Dragon, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa
(CJTF-HOA), prepare to board an MV-22 Osprey during an air assault with the U.S. Marine Corps Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron-161 (VMM-161) in the Grand Bara Desert, Feb. 8, 2022. The EARF is postured to
respond to a broad range of military operations to provide limited-defense
crisis response in the region, including support for non-combatant evacuation
operations, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief operations, recovery
capabilities of aircraft and personnel, support to U.S. embassies and other
missions as directed. The EARF is augmented by U.S. Marine Corps aviation
assets that transport and insert ground forces wherever they are needed
throughout the region, supporting crisis response through seamless and
immediate force deployment capabilities across vast distances. (U.S. Army
