Red Flag 11-3: force multipliers in action

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- Maj. Marty Barnard and 1st. Lt. Nate Richeson, KC-135R Stratotanker pilots from the 166th Air Refueling Squadron, make preparations to land their aircraft during Operation Red Flag 11-3 Feb. 28. The KC-135R has provided the core air refueling capability for the United States Air Force for over 50 years. The KC-135 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations. Red Flag is a realistic combat training exercise that provides heavily-contested and degraded operational environments to prepare crews for major combat operations against a near-peer adversary.
