Duwanse Ysumde, 39th Logistics Readiness Squadron noncommissioned officer in charge of fuels mobile distribution, prepare to refuel a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 384th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, Feb. 3, 2022. The 39th LRS supported the 384th EARS in training the 55th EFGS as part of an Agile Combat Employment event, enabling Airmen to operate from locations with varying levels of capacity and deliver lethal combat power across the spectrum of military operations. The 384th EARS operates out of Incirlik AB due to its strategic location which enables this unit to provide sustained aerial refueling capability to allied and coalition partner aircraft in support of U.S. Central Command requirements.
