Staff Sgt. Erich Rader, a fuels distribution operator assigned to the 92nd Logistics Readiness Squadron, and Senior Airman Zachary Guenther, a fuels distribution operator assigned to the 51st LRS, connect a fuel hose during exercise Royal Flush at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, May 3, 2024. During the exercise, a Tanker Generation Team deployed to Alaska to rapidly generate KC-135 Stratotankers while away from Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. A TGT comprises mission-ready Airmen trained in various Air Force Specialty Codes that can rapidly generate tanker aircraft away from main operating bases. 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. During the second part of the exercise, Team Fairchild demonstrated the ability to rapidly deploy aircraft, cargo and personnel to an unfamiliar location and immediately resumed and sustained air refueling operations without traditional support elements. This exercise demonstrated how AMC forces prepare, posture and present ready air mobility forces to support national security objectives. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ryan Gomez)
