The 524th Special Operations Squadron (524 SOS) is an Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) unit that operates out of Duke Field, Florida. The 524 SOS flies a fleet of non-standard transport aircraft in support of special operations. The Wolfhound’s primary mission is to provide U.S. Special Operations Command flexible, responsive and operational movement of small teams needed in support of Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOC). Airlift missions are conducted by AFSOC aircrews to prepared and semi-prepared airfields around the world. The C-146A is equipped with a configurable cabin capable of various passenger and cargo combinations, as well as casualty evacuation. The aircraft can carry a maximum of 27 passengers or 6,000 pounds of cargo, or up to four litter patients. The C-146A is the military version of the Dornier 328 turboprop commuter airliner modified to permit cargo and CASEVAC missions. The aircraft has been continuously deployed since October 2011. It currently supports overseas contingency operations across four geographic combatant commands.
