Fairchild AFB demonstrates strategic deterrence during exercise Mobility Response 25

A KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 92nd 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. Mobility Response is an opportunity for Mobility Air Force Forces to test their ability to respond to and simultaneously support multiple Combatant commander’s requirements, such as USSTRATCOM’s reliable strategic deterrence force. The role of the KC-135 in this exercise underscores Fairchild’s dedication to provide rapid global mobility. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Megan Delaine)
