Combat communications deploys, operates, and maintains strategic emergency communications that support military operations around the world. It also plays a critical peacetime role during state-declared emergencies providing vital communications and other needed assistance.

This photograph shows Don Miyamoto, Wallace Kakemoto, and Nolan Kanekuni. They were members of the 293rd Combat Communications Squadron. Periodic weekend training centered on mobility training (packing and transporting) and/or equipment setup in the field. Other training periods involved operational training in the field conditions.

Members of the 201st Combat Communications Group deployed “down range” several times over the years.
