U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron, 384th ARS and 116th ARS perform a simulated alert response during exercise Mobility Response 25 in support of U.S. Strategic Command exercise Global Thunder 25 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Oct. 21, 2024. During the exercise, KC-135 Stratotanker aircrews were inspected on their ability to rapidly respond at a moment’s notice. Mobility Response is an opportunity for Mobility Air Force to test their ability to respond to and simultaneously support multiple combatant commander’s requirements, such as USSTRATCOM’s reliable strategic deterrence force. The role of the KC-135 in this exercise underscores Fairchild’s dedication to provide rapid global mobility.
