Staff Sgt. Robert English, a supply management specialist assigned to the 92nd Logistic Readiness Squadron, prepares to load cargo during exercise Royal Flush at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, April 29, 2024. During the exercise, supply management specialists prepared cargo and accounted for sustainability assets that were transported by KC-135 Stratotankers. Royal Flush was a two-part Air Mobility Command readiness exercise that evaluated the ability to rapidly respond and execute mobility fundamentals and non-standard techniques to provide global mobility at a moment’s notice. In a 72-hour period, Fairchild AFB launched 44 KC-135 sorties. This exercise represents a shift from day-to-day aerial refueling missions and planned deployments, to a time when forces could be required to launch all available assets and personnel within days’ notice. As the world’s largest tanker fleet, Team Fairchild would be among the first units to respond to any global contingency. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Stassney Davis)
