Royal Australian Air Force Flight Lt. Timothy Smith, No. 36 Squadron C-17 Globemaster III pilot, and U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Pryor, 535th Airlift Squadron C-17 pilot, prepares to receive fuel from a RAAF KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) in the skies over Australia, Nov. 18, 2022. Exercise Global Dexterity 2022 is being conducted at RAAF Base Amberley, and is designed to help develop the bilateral tactical airlift and airdrop capabilities of the USAF and the RAAF. Both the United States and Australia rely on the C-17A to provide strategic and tactical airlift across the Indo-Pacific region with its ability to provide short-notice and time-critical airlift support, making it essential during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
