This highlight video showcases Exercise NEXUS RISING 25-01, a full-scale readiness exercise held June 8-14, 2025, at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. Led by the 349th Air Mobility Wing (AMW), this exercise evaluated the wing's ability to rapidly deploy and establish a fully operational Expeditionary Air Base (XAB) in a simulated U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) flyaway location. This effort supported the Air Force's Force Generation (AFFORGEN) certification requirements, validated the Wing Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS), and facilitated reporting for all assigned operation plan (OPLAN) mission essential tasks (METs), assessing the wing’s capabilities to support current OPLANs.
