Members of the 437th Airlift Wing conduct a multi-ship C-17 Globemaster III formation at Fort Bragg, N.C., 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 process and deploy duty passengers and cargo in response to a simulated crisis abroad. The 437th AW launched 11 aircraft as part of the multi-ship formation that flew to Pope Air Force Base, N.C. There, they joined four additional C-17s, six C-130 Hercules', E-8 JSTARS and two F-16 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 premier event to maintain close ties with Division veterans as well as celebrate airborne heritage and unit cohesion. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
