McConnell AFB, Kan. --  The last rotations of 931st Air Refueling Group Airmen have returned from supporting operations at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey. 

Since May 30, more than 118 of the group's personnel have served on rotations ranging from two weeks to the entirety of the mission. 

A wide range of specialties from the group took their skills to support operations at the base. 

"While deployed, we flew 24 flights for over 70 hours and were able to offload 1,348,000 pounds of fuel to multiple receivers," said Maj. Joe Oline of the 18th Air Refueling Squadron. 

The 931st joined forces with other Reserve units from the 434th Air Refueling Wing from Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind., the 452nd ARW from March ARB, Calif., the 459th ARW from Andrews AFB, Md., and the 916th ARW from Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C. in the deployment. 

"I enjoyed the deployment because there was a lot of camaraderie with all the people here," said Tech. Sgt. David Sevart of the 931st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
