While deployed to the Arabian Gulf the Dusty Dogs detached aircraft and personnel to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait; between November 2005 and February 2005 HS-7 flew Naval Special Warfare support and Air Reconnaissance missions over southern Iraq to protect coalition forces, Iraqi civilians, and critical infrastructure. After returning to NAS Jacksonville in April 2005, HS-7 detached numerous times to support pilot Carrier Qualification operations. At the same time the squadron kept readiness at peak levelsin support of an eight-month Sustainment period. In August 2005 the Dusty Dogs were directed to provide relief to the citizens of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Dusty Dogs rescued over 200 people from the flooded areas of New Orleans and evacuated 300 more to medical facilities or areas clear of the devastation. In April 2006 the squadron briefly joined Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN and the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON(CVN 73) for the Partnership of the Americas deployment, during which HS-7 participated in combined military exercises to improve maritime security and foster relations with nations in the Caribbean and South America.
