An Association of Past and Present Members of Prime BEEF and RED HORSE
"Let's make us greater, together"
The REDHORSE Association was formed in 2001 as it was determined there was a need for all USAF Combat Civil Engineers to remain in touch, re-establish old friendships, create new ones, perpetuate our spirit and traditions, represent the interests, provide a fraternal atmosphere, encourage social interaction, develop a scholarship fund and support our members in their time of need.
Our Missionis to increase awareness of the USAF Combat Civil Engineers accomplishments and tradition of excellence past and present during war and peace time with the American populace, preserve our proud heritage, share our legacy and to foster strong and mutually beneficial relationships among government, educational and civic leaders. It is our desire to be a significant force of support towards the USAF CE strategic mission, to be able to contribute to the over all morale and enhance the welfare of our profession.
We are a non-profit, tax exempt, non-commercial professional military association that exists to support, promote and develop the interests of all past, present, Active, AFRC and ANG USAF Combat Civil Engineer professionals.

CE Family -
It is with great sadness we acknowledge that BG
William "Tom" Meredith passed away Wednesday night after an intense
fight with cancer. As many of you know, BG Meredith was an engineering
visionary, helping to launch the Prime BEEF and RED HORSE capabilities that
have delivered unrivaled engineering capability from Vietnam through Operation
NEW DAWN, and in countless humanitarian assistance missions in between.
Brig Gen Meredith was a veteran of both WWII and Vietnam, earned the
prestigious SAME Newman Medal, and was honored by Air Command and Staff College
as the first support officer to be recognized as making enduring contributions
to air and space power during its annual Gathering of Eagles event.
BG Meredith's legacy is one of adapting and overcoming,
one that inspires us all to make a positive difference wherever we serve.
Enlisting as a Private in the Army Corps of Engineers, BG Meredith
received a battlefield commission in the China Burma India Theater during WWII.
He transferred to the USAF in 1949, served in multiple theaters, rose to
be the Tactical Air Command Civil Engineer, and retired in 1973 as the
Assistant for Facilities Management in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
We memorialized his legacy by commissioning the Meredith Trophy to
recognize the winning team during our Readiness Challenge Competition.
BG Meredith is succeeded by his wife, Patricia,
and his daughter Midge. Please join me in offering them, and their
extended families, our prayerful support.

5/17/2010 - ALI BASE, Iraq (AFNS) -- Members
of the 200th Rapid Engineering Deployable Heavy Operational Repair
Squadron Engineer Squadron have arrived here to draw down the 557th
Expeditionary RED HORSE Squadron from Iraq. As they complete the last
construction and engineering projects and pack up their equipment and
materials in the yard, they are part of the last RED HORSE rotation
operating under Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2010.
Several civil engineers currently at Ali Base were part of the original
2005 rotation charged with constructing the infrastructure necessary to
conduct and sustain operations throughout Iraq, including Ali Base.
In 2005, members of the 200th and 201st RED HORSE Squadrons from the
Ohio and Pennsylvania Air National Guard were part of the 557th
Expeditionary RED HORSE Squadron, which was the first RED HORSE squadron
to stand up in Iraq.
