Airmen learn F-22 refueling during Polar Force 20-1
U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Jacob Kyler (right), 525th Aircraft Maintenance Unit weapons load crew member, demonstrates aircraft thru-flight inspection procedures to Airmen assigned to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) during an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) aircraft refueling exercise as part of a Polar Force 20-1 training and mission readiness exercise at JBER, Alaska, Oct. 3, 2019. Polar Force 20-1 is designed to exercise multiple elements of the ACE concept of operations. These elements include generating fifth-generation combat power from austere locations, command and control using non-traditional methods, and rapid airlift capabilities to sustain a forward operating location. The ACE concept enables the 3rd Wing to deliver lethal airpower for the United States, even in a contested environment.
