    A U.S. Air Force C-130H3 Hercules aircraft, assigned to the 700th Airlift Squadron, Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Georgia, with a tail insignia known as the “The Big Square A” flies by Mount Fuji, Japan after airdrop operations, during the Air Force's Department-Level Exercise series, July 28, 2025. “The Big Square A” tail insignia is the 94th Airlift Wing’s heritage insignia dating back to World War II when the wing was a bomber unit housing the B-17 Flying Fortress. Today, the "Big Square A" serves as a reminder of the unit's past and a source of inspiration for current Airmen participating in the Air Force’s DLE 2025. The DLE series encompasses all branches of the Department of Defense, along with Allies and partners, employing more than 400 Joint and coalition aircraft and more than 12,000 members at more than 50 locations across 3,000 miles.
