The 445th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron (445 AEAS) is an inactive unit of the United States Air Force that last provided base communications support at Shindand Air Base (formerly Forward Operating Base Shindand), Afghanistan. It is part of the 838th Air Expeditionary Advisory Group, which is in turn part of the 438th Air Expeditionary Wing. In 2011 the unit setup a secure system for deployed service members to watch their wives give birth back in the United States.  The 444 ECS “Nomads” was reactivated in mid 2010 at FOB Shindand, Afghanistan with 50 personnel reporting to the 451st Air Expeditionary Wing at Kandahar Air Field. Shortly thereafter, it was redesignated 445th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron and reported to the 838th Air Expeditionary Advisory Group. The first group of Airmen deployed to the squadron had a tradition of playing rugby.
