Senior Airman Zachary Guenther, a fuels distribution operator assigned to the 51st Logistics Readiness Squadron, reels in a fuel hose during exercise Royal Flush at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, May 3, 2024. During the exercise, fuels distribution operators conducted hot-pit refueling operations to minimize aircraft time on the ground and maximize mission efficiency. Royal Flush was a two-part Air Mobility Command readiness exercise that evaluated the ability to rapidly respond and execute mobility fundamentals and non-standard techniques to provide global mobility at a moment’s notice. During the second part of the exercise, Team Fairchild demonstrated the ability to rapidly deploy aircraft, cargo and personnel to an unfamiliar location and immediately resumed and sustained air refueling operations without traditional support elements. This exercise demonstrated how AMC forces prepare, posture and present ready air mobility forces to support national security objectives. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Gomez)
