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

Crew chiefs assigned to the 6th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron prepare a KC-135 Stratotanker for flight at McClellan Airport in Sacramento, California, during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-3, Aug. 8, 2024. Maintenance Airmen from the 6th AMXS provide reliable mobile forces to generate, launch, and recover air refueling, combatant commander, and transient aircraft. During Bamboo Eagle, MAF 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. To achieve a more competitive posture, the DAF plans to implement major changes centered on how we develop people, generate readiness, project power and develop integrated capabilities.
