For almost two decades, the USAF [[910th Airlift Wing]]'s [[757th Airlift Squadron]] and the [[United States Coast Guard|U.S. Coast Guard]] have participated in oil spill cleanup exercises to ensure the U.S. military has a capable response in the event of a national emergency. The 757th Airlift Squadron operates the DOD's only fixed-wing Aerial Spray System which was certified by the EPA to disperse pesticides on DOD property to spread oil dispersants onto the [[Deepwater Horizon oil spill|''Deepwater Horizon'' oil spill]] in the Gulf Coast in 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.internationalairresponse.com/customers.asp |title= specialized aerial service |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150705185359/http://www.internationalairresponse.com/customers.asp |archive-date= 5 July 2015 |url-status= dead |access-date= 4 July 2015 |df= dmy-all}}</ref>

During the 5-week mission, the aircrews flew 92 sorties and sprayed approximately 30,000 acres with nearly 149,000 gallons of oil dispersant to break up the oil. The Deepwater Horizon mission was the first time the US used the oil dispersing capability of the 910th Airlift Wing—its only large area, fixed-wing aerial spray program—in an actual spill of national significance.<ref name= ":0">{{Cite web |url= https://www.youngstown.afrc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/179269/air-force-reserves-910th-airlift-wing-provides-initial-response-to-deepwater-ho/ |first=Brent J. |last=Davis |title= Air Force Reserve's 910th Airlift Wing provides initial response to Deepwater Horizon spill |website= Youngstown Air Reserve Station |language= en-US |date= 24 June 2010}}</ref> The [[Air Force Reserve Command]] announced the 910th Airlift Wing has been selected as a recipient of the [[Air Force Outstanding Unit Award]] for its outstanding achievement from 28 April 2010 through 4 June 2010.<ref>{{Cite web |url= https://www.youngstown.afrc.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/822/Article/179218/910th-receives-outstanding-unit-award.aspx |first=Brent |last=Davis |title= 910th receives Outstanding Unit Award |website= Youngstown Air Reserve Station |language= en-US |date=6 March 2010}}</ref>
