The wing took over Holzdorf Air Base in January 1994 where a squadron of the former Helicopter Transport Wing 64 and other airforce units, formerly based at Brandenburg-Briest Air Base, were stationed. They formed Air Transport Detachment of Air Transport Wing 62. This detachment was responsible for air transport missions within the SAR commands at Holzdorf and Erfurt, as well as the emergency services centre at Neustrelitz. In the following years, these helicopters took part in several SAR missions both within Germany as well as abroad, notably during the 1997 Central European flood and the 2002 European floods.
