Airman 1st Class Dalton Smith, a fuels distribution operator assigned to the 92nd Logistics Readiness Squadron, carries a fuel hose to a KC-135 Stratotanker during exercise Royal Flush at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Apr. 30, 2024. During the exercise, 92nd LRS Airmen supplied more than 4 million pounds of fuel that directly enabled Fairchild AFB to launch 44 KC-135 sorties in a 72-hour period. 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. 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)
