    The March 91 issue of Air Force Magazine list units which sent folks to 
    the Gulf.  Two unusual units appear:
    
    224 Joint Chiefs of Staff Squadron (ANG), Brunswick, GA
    290 Joint Chiefs of Staff Squadron (ANG), Tampa, FL
    
    Anybody know what these folks do?
    
    Thanks.

I've got no idea what they are, but with a name like "Joint Chiefs of
Staff Squadron," I'd bet that they belong to the mysterious world of
special operations for two reasons:

1) Their actual mission isn't specified (as it is for the 1st Tactical
Fighter Wing, for example)

2) They are located relatively close to the USAF SpecOps base at Hulbert
Field in Florida.

That's my guess,
