Brig. Gen. Allison Miller, Director of Operations, National Guard Bureau A3/10; Wing Commander, 152nd Airlift Wing, Col. Evan Kirkwood; and The Adjutant General for Nevada National Guard, Maj. Gen. Ondra Berry, walk to a C-130 during the 2023 Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) Spring Training. The training, hosted by the California Air National Guard's 146th Airlift Wing, was conducted from April 11-15, 2023. Training included classroom sessions, flying and ground operations for Air Force aircrews, civilian lead plane pilots and support personnel from the USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, other federal agencies and CAL FIRE. First Air Force (Air Forces Northern), U.S. Northern Command's Air Component, is the DoD's operational lead for the aerial military wildland fire fighting response. Miller and Berry both took a ride in a C-130 at the training where they were able to experience what the crew members experience while flying a MAFFS mission.
