U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Connor Lebbert, 521st Contingency Response Squadron aerospace maintenance craftsman, drives escort vehicle to aircraft on the flightline during exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-3 at Mather Airport, Sacramento, Calif., Aug. 9, 2024. As part of the 305th Air Mobility Wing, the 32nd Air Refueling Squadron operates the KC-46 Pegasus aircraft conducting air refueling missions necessary to support air mobility missions on a global scale. During BE 24-3, Air Mobility Command assets supported 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 to reoptimize for Great Power Competition and to focus on mission readiness to deliver cross-functional and lethal combat capabilities with the speed and agility required to meet pacing challenges.
