Tech Sgt. Kenneth Cook, 6th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., practices exiting a KC-10 Extender using a ladder July 9, 2017 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii in preparation for travel to Wake Island. Ladders are used in remote areas where stairs may not be available. A combined crew from the 6th and 9th ARS at Travis Air Force Base supported Exercise Talisman Saber 2017 by executing Exercise Ultimate Reach, a strategic refueling and airdrop mission in which three KC-10s refueled five C-17 Globemaster IIIs carrying U.S. Army, Australian and Canadian paratroopers prior to an airdrop. TS 17 is a biennial exercise in Australia that focuses on bilateral military training between U.S. Pacific Command forces and the Australian Defence Force to improve U.S.-Australia combat readiness, increase interoperability, maximize combined training opportunities and conduct maritime prepositioning and logistics operations in the Pacific.
