    433rd Airlift Wing

    Exercise Southern Star ’25 has provided 433rd Airlift Wing Citizen Airmen with valuable opportunities to enhance readiness and mission effectiveness through specialized airlift support for multinational special operations training.
    Participating in this joint environment has allowed Alamo Wing aircrews to operate alongside units they don’t typically support, including Air Force Special Operations Command and partner nation special operations forces. These interactions have enabled critical knowledge exchanges and fostered stronger professional networks, contributing to a more agile, integrated, and mission-ready total force.
    Southern Star ‘25 is a multinational special operations exercise taking place across Chile from May 26 to June 8, uniting forces from six nations and 10 observing countries, totaling over 2700 participants to enhance interoperability and strengthen global SOF partnerships through joint training from as far north as Antofagasta to the southern region of Punta Arenas.
