340th EARS keeps aircraft in the fight 24-7

Airman 1st Class John Reschke, 340th Air Refueling Squadron boom operator, calculates the weight and balance of the KC-135 Stratotanker before takeoff from the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing. The 340th EARS transfers significant amounts of fuel to a variety of Coalition aircraft throughout the entire AOR, with an aircraft that is oftentimes double the age in years of the Airmen who fly and maintain it.
