“With the activation of an additional CR squadron, we are elevating our capabilities to match our Air Force’s need for highly trained, multi-capable teams of talented airmen who can make the mission happen,” Col. Jeffrey N. Krulick, the 821st Contingency Response Group commander, said.

Krulick added that the 721st Contingency Response Squadron is now the fourth squadron in the 821 Contingency Response Group with the “first responder” designation to assess, open and operate airfields across the globe, with small, highly capable teams ready to rapidly deploy. They are trained to deliver air power anywhere, from international airports to isolated dirt landing zones wherever deemed appropriate.

“I’m excited for the airmen of 721 CRS and to see their ability to ‘Win the Fight’,” Krulick said.

Based out of Travis Air Force Base, the 721st Contingency Response Squadron emblem displays a phantom, which in common lore is an entity that can materialize anywhere, anytime and without warning. Similarly, the squadron materializes in remote locations where others cannot, projecting air power at a moment’s notice.

With the ceremonial standup completed, the team is excited and ready to move the mission forward, Bloom said.
