Summary

U.S. Army Soldiers from the 37th Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division prepare to board a C-17 Globemaster during Crescent Reach 15 May 21, 2015. This exercise tested and evaluated Joint Base Charleston's ability to launch a large aircraft formation in addition to processing and deploying duty passengers and cargo in response to a simulated crisis abroad. The 437th Airlift Wing launched 11 aircraft as part of the multi-ship formation that flew to Pope Air Force Base, N.C. There they joined four additional C-17s, six C-130s, E-8 JSTARS and two F-16s to participate in the 82nd Airborne Division's All American Week. During their time there, over 1,400 paratroopers and critical equipment, such as Humvees and artillery, were dropped to simulate a Joint Forcible Entry of the Global Response Force. All American Week is the division's premier event to maintain close ties with division veterans as well as celebrate heritage and unit cohesion. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Douglas Ellis)
