A Gold Star family and tour facilitators gather at the cargo loading ramp of a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft during a 3rd Wing-hosted tour at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, May 21, 2026. The wide-area brief highlighted how the strategic transport airframe is configured to rapidly deploy troops, vehicles and heavy equipment worldwide. This joint-base event brought together Army and Air Force personnel to offer support, fellowship and technical insight to families of fallen service members.
