The 624th Civil Engineer Squadron (624th CES) is a unit of the United States Air Force Reserve, assigned to the 624th Regional Support Group at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Activated in 1994, the 624th CES provides vital civil engineering support, including base infrastructure maintenance, emergency repair, and rapid airfield recovery capabilities. Over the years, the squadron has deployed personnel and resources to support both peacetime and contingency operations, including disaster response and overseas deployments in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The 624th CES continues to play a crucial role in ensuring mission readiness and operational support for U.S. Air Force installations throughout the Pacific region.

The 622nd Tactical Control Flight (622nd TCF) was a unit of the United States Air Force responsible for providing tactical air control in support of combat operations. Activated during the Cold War era, the 622nd TCF played a key role in establishing and maintaining air-to-ground communications, ensuring effective coordination between air and ground forces. The unit was often deployed to forward locations, supporting exercises and real-world contingencies to enhance battlefield awareness and control. Over its period of activity, the 622nd TCF contributed significantly to the USAF’s tactical command and control capabilities before its eventual inactivation.
