15 FINAL REPORT ON THE COMMISSION ON THE NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVES "The Commission is clear in their belief that 'there is no reasonable alternative to the nation's continued increased reliance on Reserve Components as a part of its operational force for missions at home and abroad.'" - RADM Casey Coane
20 HSC-85 FIREFIGHTING - NO MISSION IS IMPOSSIBLE "The Sailors of HSC-85 took great pride in preparing the aircraft and Bambi buckets for the aerial firefighting missions. Our ability to support this effort with six aircrews and aircraft over this seven-day period would not have been possible without our Selected Reserve personnel. Bottom line - it was a successful team effort made possible by the 'High Roller' Sailors and the experts at CAL FIRE." - CDR Paul Mattingly
