A U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules assigned to the 815th Airlift Squadron lands on a recently repaired runway at Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, Alpena, Michigan, Aug. 9, 2025. The aircraft conducted multiple landings on a section of runway restored by the 23d Combat Air Base Squadron using Rapid Airfield Damage Recovery, a process that quickly returns a damaged airfield to operational status for launching and recovering aircraft. These landings, conducted during Northern Strike 25-2, demonstrated the collaboration between Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Active Duty Air Force units to validate RADR capabilities and ensure operational readiness.
