KC-46 Pegasus came together for AMC’s premier readiness exercise to test specialized computers and communication systems that enable rapid data sharing as a means of ensuring strategic deterrence.
“What we’re able to do here is innovate ourselves, think our way through problems as we’re actually being presented with them,” said Lt. Col. Benjamin Davidson, 54th Air Refueling Squadron director of operations and 28th Mission Generation Squadron commander. “We’ve got young crews out here that think in new ways, think outside the box and come up with some things others might not have thought of.”
Training exercises like Mobility Guardian provide AMC’s tanker force the opportunity to sharpen their readiness, ensure strategic deterrence and enable nuclear capabilities for the nation in any environment with minimal resources.
