HCS 5

Helicopter Combat Support Special Squadron FIVE (HCS-5), also known as the "Firehawks," was a United States Navy Reserve helicopter squadron established in 1988. The unit was based at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California, and operated the HH-60H Seahawk helicopter. HCS-5 provided combat search and rescue (CSAR), special warfare support, and vertical replenishment missions, often deploying to the Persian Gulf and supporting Operations Desert Storm, Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom. The squadron was deactivated in December 2006 as part of a Navy-wide restructuring of reserve helicopter forces.
