U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Lucien Anderson, a dedicated crew chief deployed with the 525th Expeditionary Fighter Generation Squadron, 3rd Air Expeditionary Wing, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, takes an oil sample from an F-22 Raptor during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-1 at Naval Air Station North Island, California, Jan. 28, 2024. NAS North Island served as one of the spokes within the hub-and-spoke concept of operations during Exercise Bamboo Eagle 24-1, with the hub and command-and-control force element located at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. During BE 24-1, warfighters implemented all-domain combat-power generation from disaggregated basing locations throughout the western part of the U.S., while incorporating scenarios in distributed command and control, agile logistics, and tactical air-to-air refueling. Airmen also tackled agile combat employment, and the larger challenges of persistent logistics, by adapting techniques most often associated with special operations forces but on a much larger scale.
