Fairchild AFB demonstrates strategic deterrence during exercise Mobility Response 25

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Roddrick De Jesus, 92nd Logistics Readiness Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of inbound cargo, inspects a pallet of cargo during exercise Mobility Response 25 in support of U.S. Strategic Command exercise Global Thunder 25 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Oct. 20, 2024. De Jesus inspected over 89,000 pounds of cargo to ensure documentation accuracy and inventory accountability. Mobility Response is an opportunity for Mobility Air Force to test their ability to respond to and simultaneously support multiple combatant commander’s requirements, such as USSTRATCOM’s reliable strategic deterrence force. Executing training exercises like MR25 prepares wings to support the warfighter at the furthest node to ensure light, lean, and distributed operations.
