    Firefighters from the 100th Civil Engineer Squadron stay ready during a response to an aircraft mishap exercise at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, July 23, 2024. The scenario involved a KC-135 Stratotanker taxiing back to its hardstand being hit by a van pulling out of a hanger, with the driver not paying attention. The exercise simulated that the van hit the number one engine jet. Realistic training is a vital part of the U.S. Air Force's readiness and tests units' abilities to accomplish the mission.
