The 210th Airlift Squadron ‘Rhinos’ is a unique unit within the Air Defense Force. While the concept of a Total Force Unit isn't unheard of, or particularly rare within the Air Force Reserve, the 210th has a unique status of one of the few AFRC/ANG Joint Squadrons. While the aircraft, IL-76MDs, are owned by the host-state of North Gate, the Airmen who work and fly the jets are both in the Guard or Reservist components, with a small handful of active-duty personnel.
The other interesting aspect to the ‘Rhinos’ is their choice of airframe. With the end of combat in 1996, Osea moved to better relations with their longtime economic foe Yuktobania. In the largest purchase of foreign built aircraft for the OADF saw many Reservist and State Guard units with a sudden influx of new aircraft to replace their timed out airframes. Replacing their C-141s, the Squadron found the aircraft useful shortly after completing the transition with the planetfall of the Ulysses Asteroid.
