Air Force Senior Airman Aleea Barreras, a loadmaster from the 14th Airlift Squadron, waves to aircraft taking part in a fly-over event during a mission generation exercise, at several locations around Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, Jan. 5, 2023. This mission generation exercise kicks off Mobility Guardian 23 and involved the launch of 24 C-17s for the largest-ever show-of-force formation flight over Charleston Harbor. After the flyover, the formation dispersed to sharpen agile combat employment concepts that leverage rapid mobility to maximize lethality.
