Refueling Missions
We were privileged to fly with the 2nd and 32nd Airborne Refueling Squadrons on a series of refueling missions in support of air force squadron training as well as continued training for KC-10 crew members. Known as Advanced Combat Operations Training (ACOT), the purpose of the exercise is to showcase the 305th AMW prepares mobility forces for future operations and highlights the capability to support the joint warfighter, ranging from refuelers to fighters, in any type of environment.
The motto of the 305th AMW is "Can Do" and the pilots, flight crew, boom operators and maintenance personnel all proved that they can do the job when called upon. They performed their jobs with pride, skill and teamwork. As evidenced by the efforts put into their training, the 305th AMW is invested in bringing out the best in their personnel. Today, more than 2,400 men and women of the 305th AMW stand ready to provide worldwide support at a moment's notice.
We came away with a clear understanding of the vital role the 305th AMW plays in today's air force.
We would like to thank the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Public Affairs Office, Shaun Eagan, Sr Airman Lauren Russell, A1C Zachary Martyn, SSgt Evan Bazeley and their team for their assistance in making this visit possible.
