137th Special Operations Wing Air Commando hammers a stake into the ground as they prepare infrastructure to support high-frequency communications and to establish radio contact with a fellow Airman operating from another island at TRADEWINDS 25, Trinidad and Tobago, April 24, 2025. The 137th SOW demonstrated agile airlift capabilities using a U.S. Air Force C-130J-30 Super Hercules assigned to the 403rd Wing and established a scalable logistics framework to support future iterations of TRADEWINDS, enhancing interoperability with allies and partners across the Caribbean. TW25 is a U.S. Southern Command-sponsored and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-approved annual exercise that bolsters regional stability and demonstrates U.S. Joint Force coordination and interoperability with Allies and partners.
