The C-130 Hercules aircraft of Mobility Guardian traveled more than 25,000 miles from six different countries across the globe to participate in the two-week exercise here July 31 to Aug. 12, 2017. This distance, stretching farther than that of the earth's equator, funneled C-130 aircraft from Belgium, Canada, New Zealand, Pakistan, Republic of Korea, and the U.S. into a single interoperable playing field where tactics, techniques, and procedures were shared amongst allied nations. More than 3,000 Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and international partners converged on the state of Washington in support of Mobility Guardian. The exercise is intended to test the abilities of the Mobility Air Forces to execute rapid global mobility missions in dynamic, contested environments. Mobility Guardian is Air Mobility Command's premier exercise, providing an opportunity for the Mobility Air Forces to train with joint and international partners in airlift, air refueling, aeromedical evacuation and mobility support. The exercise is designed to sharpen Airmen’s skills in support of combatant commander requirements. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Jodi Martinez)
