Two F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the 480th Fighter Squadron, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, fly alongside a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 91st Air Refueling Wing over the Southeast Pacific during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-3, Aug. 7, 2024. Through employment of the KC-135 aircraft, the 91st ARS extends U.S. global power and global reach by planning and executing aerial refueling missions for U.S. and allied combat and support aircraft. As threats evolve and the United States considers operations from austere locations, rapid global mobility is the lynchpin to persistent logistics. Bamboo Eagle occurs in designated airspace over disaggregated locations in the western part of the U.S. and over the Pacific Ocean. Bamboo Eagle 24-3 is an example of how the Air Force implements large scale exercises and mission-focused training encompassing multiple operational plans to demonstrate and rehearse for complex, large-scale military operations.
