U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Ethan Bowen, 509th Weapons Squadron (WPS) instructor boom operator, conducts pre-flight checks on a KC-46A Pegasus assigned to the 60th Air Mobility Wing prior to a U.S. Air Force Weapons School (USAFWS) mission from Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Aug. 27, 2025. The tanker mission is inherently joint, and the U.S. Air Force Weapons School immerses students in special operations scenarios to refine tactics to support close air support and integration with ground forces, enhancing joint warfighting readiness.
