Lt. Col. Casey Eaton explains the capabilities of the C-17 Globemaster III to Indian air force wing commanders Anup Kumar Dutta, KV Surendran Nair and SK Vidhate during their Feb. 25 visit to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. Members of the 613th Air and Space Operations Center at Hickam AFB hosted the visit Feb. 23 through 27, during which the Indian air force officers learned how the United States commands and controls airpower in the Pacific through the 613th AOC. Five 613th AOC members will visit India March 9 through 13 for a similar orientation, as part of a subject-matter expert exchange with the Indian air force.
