Kyle Griffioen (left), an aerospace propulsion craftsman with the 735th Air Mobility Squadron, out of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, and U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jeremiah Sattler, a crew chief with the 730th Air Mobility Squadron, out of Yokota Air Base, Japan, pack gear after an aircraft-to-aircraft refueling during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-1 at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Feb. 2, 2024. Airmen from Yokota AB; JPHH; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; and Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, aligned various skillsets to complete the first-ever Air Mobility Command-to-F-22 Raptor refueling from a Charleston C-17 Globemaster III to a JBER F-22 Raptor. BE 24-1 was a first-of-its-kind exercise directed by the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center and was composed of approximately 3,000 U.S. joint service members, allies and partners from the Royal Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force, and more than 150 aircraft from 24 units dispersed across more than 10 locations in the western U.S. Through the use of designated air space, BE 24-1 provided Airmen, allies and partners a flexible, combat-representative, multidimensional battlespace to conduct testing tactics development and advanced training in support of U.S. national interests.
