Master Sgt. Juan Calderon, 82nd Aerial Port Squadron, provides pre-load instructions prior to static load expeditionary training at Travis Air Force Base, April 10, 2026. Airmen from the 349th Force Support Squadron move one of several pallets from a Single Pallet Expeditionary Kitchen (SPEK) set during training with the 79th Air Refueling Squadron. The event introduced side-loading operations on a KC-46 Pegasus, a first for Travis AFB, while emphasizing safety and coordination between units. During the training, 349th FSS personnel integrated with aircrew operations while 79th ARS Airmen conducted specialized fueling operations and ground-station proficiency tasks, enhancing interoperability and readiness for deployments in austere environments.
