Additional Air Force reservists to be mobilized


Associated Press

Nearly 20 Charleston Air Force reservists will report for active duty next Monday, following notification by the Air Force Reserve Command last week.

The members of the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron will be joining nearly three dozen reservists who were deployed in April. The reservists will transport and care for injured service members around the world.

The squad members being called for duty include flight crews and support workers.

Gov. Mark Sanford was formerly a member of the unit. In March, Sanford transferred to the Air Force's National Security Emergency Preparedness Agency, which helps coordinate between the military and state agencies in times of natural disaster or homeland emergencies.
