Tech. Sgt. Taryn Dennison, a flying crew assigned to the 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, prepares to transport cargo during a no-notice Nuclear Operational Readiness Inspection at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, July 17, 2024. Air Mobility Command's Inspector General team conducted the no-notice NORI between July 16 – 18, 2024, 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 strategic bombers and command and control aircraft. No-notice inspections validate that Airmen at Fairchild AFB are 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 are a part of the plans unveiled by senior Department of the Air Force leaders as the force reoptimizes for Great Power Competition.
