 |
 |
The 244th Combat Communications Squadron received the Air Force Communications Command (AFCC) Air National Guard Outstanding Unit Achievement Award for the second consecutive year and the third time in six years.
The 244th Combat Communications Squadron was redesignated as the 244th Combat Information Systems Squadron on 1 July 1985.
The 244th had the opportunity to participate in many exercises this year. Personnel and equipment were deployed to:
| Exercise | Location |
|---|---|
| Balikatan | Philippines |
| Coronet Cougar 85 | Turkey |
| Brim Frost | Alaska |
| Solid Shield 85 | North Carolina |
| Red Flag | Utah |
| Vigilant Overview | Oregon |
A request for help was received on 7 July from the U.S. Forest Service, asking the 244th to provide communications support for a forest fire in the Mt. Hood National Forest, designated as the "June Bug" fire. Sites were established at the Mt. Hood Forest Supervisor's office in Gresham, a fire base camp at Ripplebrook Ranger Station, Larch Mountain and Whale Head Mountain. Four wideband radio teams were deployed.
Another Mt. Hood National Forest fire occasioned the deployment of four wideband teams to establish sites for the "Bozo" fire at Mt. Hood Forest Service Supervisor's office in Gresham, Larch Mountain, Goat Mountain, and Bozo Fire Camp, east of Estacada on the North Fork of the Clackamas River. TSgt Gail Spaulding of the 244th located and reported a second small fire, which the Forest Service later named the "Spaulding Gulch Fire."
Senior Master Sergeant Joseph J. Buxton was recognized as the Outstanding Unit Senior NCO of 1985, and Airman First Class Elizabeth G. Christensen was named as the Outstanding Unit Airman.
