515th Air Mobility Operations Wing

Allies in Action 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇺

Recently, the 735th Air Mobility Squadron worked alongside Australian and joint-service partners during a complex cargo exchange in support of RIMPAC operations.

After an Australian C-17 arrived carrying nine increments of cargo, Airmen from the 735th AMS and the Australian logistics team rapidly offloaded pallets, pallet trains, and rolling stock before transferring the cargo to 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit vehicles for movement to Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

At the same time, the team coordinated the reverse movement of five cargo increments, which were palletized by Australian personnel and loaded onto the C-17 with support from 735th AMS Airmen, who provided material handling equipment, a 60K loader, and load team chief expertise.

This seamless operation showcased the strength of our international partnerships, joint integration, and the teamwork of the 735th AMS Capability Forecasting, Air Terminal Operations Center, and Aircraft Services teams. Together, we deliver global mobility wherever the mission requires.
