00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,949
Air Mobility Command airmen deployed 

3
00:00:10,949 --> 00:00:13,171
across the Indo Pacific to take part in 

4
00:00:13,171 --> 00:00:15,670
the Air Force's 2025 Department level 

5
00:00:15,670 --> 00:00:18,569
exercise series . Under the Air Force 

6
00:00:18,569 --> 00:00:20,736
force generation model , this exercise 

7
00:00:20,736 --> 00:00:22,680
shows how airmen can deploy within 

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,569
established timelines and support 

9
00:00:24,569 --> 00:00:27,415
distributed operations in diverse . and 

10
00:00:27,415 --> 00:00:29,774
highly contested environments in 

11
00:00:29,774 --> 00:00:32,052
collaboration with allies and partners , 

12
00:00:32,052 --> 00:00:34,330
airmen engaged in coordinated missions , 

13
00:00:34,330 --> 00:00:36,052
exchange tactics , and aligned 

14
00:00:36,052 --> 00:00:37,941
logistics to strengthen coalition 

15
00:00:37,941 --> 00:00:40,052
cohesion , highlighting the command's 

16
00:00:40,052 --> 00:00:42,163
ability to project and sustain combat 

17
00:00:42,163 --> 00:00:44,163
power in support of a free and open 

18
00:00:44,163 --> 00:00:47,650
Indo-Pacific . The US Air Force 

19
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:49,706
completed a full-scale qualification 

20
00:00:49,706 --> 00:00:51,817
test on the Sentinel Intercontinental 

21
00:00:51,817 --> 00:00:54,039
ballistic missiles stage 2 solid rocket 

22
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:55,909
motor at the Arnold Engineering 

23
00:00:55,909 --> 00:00:58,689
Development Complex . This milestone is 

24
00:00:58,689 --> 00:01:00,689
part of the effort to modernize the 

25
00:01:00,689 --> 00:01:02,911
nation's land-based nuclear . Deterrent 

26
00:01:02,911 --> 00:01:05,133
and provides data to help refine design 

27
00:01:05,133 --> 00:01:07,245
elements and reduce technical risk as 

28
00:01:07,245 --> 00:01:09,356
the program moves toward production . 

29
00:01:09,356 --> 00:01:11,300
Stage 2 qualification testing will 

30
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:13,189
continue throughout the year with 

31
00:01:13,189 --> 00:01:15,133
upcoming tests planned to evaluate 

32
00:01:15,133 --> 00:01:17,022
additional motor components under 

33
00:01:17,022 --> 00:01:19,510
varied environmental conditions . Air 

34
00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:21,732
Force Special Operations Command tested 

35
00:01:21,732 --> 00:01:23,910
drag reduction devices called Finlets 

36
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:26,879
on an MC-130J at Eglin Air Force Base , 

37
00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:28,910
Florida . These new additions are a 

38
00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:30,799
cost saving initiative leading to 

39
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,029
longer C-130 flight range , better fuel 

40
00:01:33,029 --> 00:01:35,150
efficiency , and improved operational 

41
00:01:35,150 --> 00:01:37,050
capabilities . The goal of the 

42
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:38,828
developmental flight test is to 

43
00:01:38,828 --> 00:01:40,772
determine the airworthiness of the 

44
00:01:40,772 --> 00:01:42,550
aluminum finlets mounted on the 

45
00:01:42,550 --> 00:01:44,717
aircraft's rear door and on both sides 

46
00:01:44,717 --> 00:01:46,828
of the tail fin . After these initial 

47
00:01:46,828 --> 00:01:48,883
trials , multiple airdrop evaluation 

48
00:01:48,883 --> 00:01:51,050
tests will take place with the goal of 

49
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:53,217
extending finlets to the entire C-130J 

50
00:01:53,217 --> 00:01:55,439
fleet . That's your look around the Air 

51
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,217
Force . I'm senior Airman Akeem
