JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Mobility Airmen are actively working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency at Joint Base Charleston’s North Auxiliary Airfield, South Carolina, as recovery and relief efforts following Hurricane Irma continue.

“We serve as the liaison and support entity for the Emergency Preparedness Liaison Office,” said Col. Rockie Wilson, 628th Mission Support Group commander. “We’ve worked closely with both AFNORTH and the 18th Air Force to coordinate the support from Pope Army Airfield as well as provided access to the [North Auxiliary Airfield].”
