    U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III's take off from Joint Base Charleston May 21, 2015 during Crescent Reach 15. This exercise tested and evaluated Joint Base Charleston's ability to launch a large aircraft formation in addition to processing and deploying duty passengers and cargo in response to a simulated crisis abroad. The 437th Airlift Wing launched 11 aircrafts as part of the multi-ship formation that flew to Pope AFB, North Carolina. There they joined four additional C-17s, six C-130s, E-8 JSTARS and two F-16s to participate in the 82nd Airborne Division's All American Week. During their time there, over 1,400 paratroopers and critical equipment, such as HUMVEES and artillery, were dropped to simulate a Joint Forcible Entry of the Global Response Force. All American Week is the Division's premiere event to maintain close ties with Division Veteran's as well as celebrate heritage and unit cohesion.(U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Nicholas Byers)
