Airmen from 76th Aerial Port Squadron from Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio, direct a military humvee onto a C-130J Super Hercules during the engine running onload/offload event of the Port Dawg Challenge on Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Georgia, April 14, 2026. The PDC is a biennial Air Force Reserve Command competition, pitting the command’s aerial port squadrons and several international teams against each other across a variety of events, designed to showcase the skills necessary for air transportation specialists, or port dawgs, to accomplish the Air Force mission. The ERO event simulates a scenario encountered during deployed operations, when an aircraft lands without stopping engines, emphasizing speed, safety and efficiency for the competitors.
