Families and loved ones welcomed the airmen home at the base in Reno after they were mobilized on short notice in March to deploy in support of the U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran. “The High Rollers were on the list to go and answered the call.

We are always ready when our nation calls, and this deployment showed that,” Lt. Col. David McNally, commander of 192nd Airlift Squadron, said in the release.
