On May 20, 2013, an EF5 tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma. Sailors from Task Force 124, also known as TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out), volunteered in the recovery efforts and assisted the Oklahoma National Guard. Located at Tinker Air Force Base, the task force is responsible to Commander Naval Air Forces for manning, training, and equipping Navy Squadrons for nuclear command and control communications. The winds exceeded 200 miles per hour and tore through the Oklahoma City suburb killing 24 people, injuring more than 200, and displacing thousands.
