As I suggested in my  postings, this is the reason for the several flights 
of C-17s from Patrick  to Rota the past few days.
 
1/21/2014 - PATRICK AFB, Fla.  -- A group of reservists from the 920th 
Rescue Wing here  deployed to the Horn of Africa Jan. 19 & 20 for contingency  
support there. 

Approximately 70 helicopter crew, maintenance,  operations and support 
personnel deployed along with several of the wing's  HH-60G Pave Hawk 
helicopters in C-17 Globemasters from the 315th  Airlift Wing at Joint Base 
Charleston, S.C.

The Reserve  Airmen will serve as part of Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of 
Africa  and will be in place for personnel-recovery operations along with  
humanitarian efforts as needed.

The 920th Rescue Wing is the Air  Force Reserve's only combat rescue unit. 
Air  Force rescue units are the Department of Defense's only  elite combat 
forces specifically organized, trained, equipped and postured  to conduct 
full-spectrum personnel recovery, to include both conventional  and 
unconventional combat-rescue  operations.
