91st ARS demonstrates rapid global mobility, enables combat-power generation during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-3

U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Emily Southwood, 91st Air Refueling Squadron, KC-135 boom operator, prepares for an aerial refueling mission at McClellan Airport in Sacramento, California, during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-3, Aug. 7, 2024. As part of the 6th Air Refueling Wing, the 91st ARS operates the KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft conducting air refueling missions necessary to support air mobility missions on a global scale. During Bamboo Eagle, Air Mobility Command assets will support warfighters implementing all-domain combat-power generation from disaggregated basing locations throughout the western part of the U.S., along with distributed command and control, agile logistics, and tactical air-to-air refueling. Bamboo Eagle provides participating units opportunities to highlight Air Force efforts and reoptimize for Great Power Competition and to focus on mission readiness by delivering cross-functional and lethal combat capabilities with the speed and agility required to meet pacing challenges.
