Emergency Services/ Operations
With 403 members, the Delaware Wing performs search and rescue, disaster relief, emergency service,
counterdrug and homeland security missions throughout the State of Delaware. The Wing’s flight crews,
ground teams, communication teams and incident command center members conduct numerous Air
Force assigned search and rescue missions each year. The Wing's Four single-engine Cessna aircraft
overfly the three counties and keep watch over vehicular traffic and Delaware Bay almost every day
including weekends and holidays coordinating activities with the Delaware Department of Transportation
(DelDOT), the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) and federal, state, county and local law
enforcement agencies.
Operations Statistics for 2017
