JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii— All three wings in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard combined resources to transport members of the 111th Attack Wing from Biddle Air National Guard Base in Horsham, Pennsylvania, to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, for a two-week training exercise known as Koa Lani that began on June 9, 2023.
The 171st Air Refueling Wing and the 193rd Special Operations Wing joined forces to airlift 39 members of the 111th ATKW with the 171st providing a KC-135 Stratotanker and an aircrew, and the 193rd Special Operations Wing providing the airfield and personnel required to load the aircraft, which took off for Hawaii from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Because the goal of the training was for the 111th FSS to simulate the logistics and operation tempo involved with deploying to an airbase overseas in support of an active-duty contingency operation, they decided to name the exercise once they arrived at JBPHH.
