Senior Airman Ryan Folger, a crew chief assigned to the 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, removes a KC-135 Stratotanker boom sighting window for cleaning during a no-notice Nuclear Operational Readiness Inspection at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, July 16, 2024. Air Mobility Command's Inspector General team conducted the no-notice NORI from July 16 - 18, during which the 92nd Air Refueling Wing and 141st ARW received same-day notification of the evaluation of the base's capability to perform as a nuclear support unit. Various capabilities at Fairchild AFB enable units to generate and provide, when directed, specially trained and equipped KC-135 Stratotanker aircrews to conduct critical air refueling of U.S. Strategic Command-assigned nuclear-capable bombers and Nuclear Command, Control and Communication aircraft. No-notice inspections validate that Airmen are always postured and ready with a credible force to assure, deter and defend in an increasingly complex security environment. No-notice and limited-notice operational readiness assessments and inspections directly support the plans unveiled by senior Department of the Air Force leaders as the force reoptimizes for Great Power Competition.
