Fairchild AFB demonstrates strategic deterrence during exercise Mobility Response 25

A KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 940th Air Refueling Wing takes off during exercise Mobility Response 25 in support of U.S. Strategic Command exercise Global Thunder 25 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Oct. 24, 2024. KC-135s conducted minimum-interval takeoffs, a critical procedure used in aviation to ensure that aircraft can safely take off and climb to their assigned altitude without interfering with other aircraft's flight paths. The KC-135 Stratotanker played a crucial role in this exercise and GT25, providing essential air-to-air refueling capabilities vital to sustaining long-range operations.
