DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- The Air Force Reserve’s biannual air mobility logistics competition kicked off today at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga., pitting 19 Aerial Port Squadrons from 17 states in a battle to determine who’s the best "Port Dawg."
Six-person teams from installations across the nation – including Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii – are putting their air mobility skills to the test in a series of events that include driving and loading prowess, administrative and processing skills, pallet build-up skills, forklift handling, load planning, fitness and professional knowledge.
Aerial Port units perform military logistics functions that include passenger and cargo processing, equipment loading, air cargo preparation and load plans, and supervising units engaged in aircraft loading and unloading operations.
The biannual event was created to generate esprit de corps within the Air Force Reserve Aerial Port community, as well as promote professionalism, demonstrate air and space expeditionary forces mission capabilities, and promote an exchange of information among participants to identify best practices and improve wartime mission results.
