In addition to the 92nd ARW active duty and 141st ARW Air National Guard<\/strong><\/a> units at Fairchild AFB, TF-24-1 included aircraft and personnel assigned to the 912th Air Refueling Squadron who traveled from March AFB<\/strong><\/a>, California, to participate. The 912th ARS is a geographically separated unit of the 92nd ARW.<\/p>\n

According to Lt. Col. Roque Zarate, 912th ARS director of operations, participating in the exercise enabled his unit to integrate with 92nd ARW Airmen and build interoperability in a training environment that resembles the manner in which they would operate during a real-world scenario.<\/p>\n

\u201cTitan Fury is important, not only for the aircrews and maintenance, but for our controllers as well,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey have to practice things that maybe they’re not used to with the crews that are organic to the 92nd. So, for them to actually integrate us into the exercise, being a geographically separated unit, there’s a lot more planning and a lot more nuances. It’s important for everybody to exercise the way we would go to war, or really, to deter our adversaries from attacking us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s nice just for us to be able to come here and see how our parent wing executes the same [mission],\u201d Zarate added. \u201cWe’re taking lots of notes on how we can do things better at March, and we’re also providing notes to Fairchild on what they can do better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Master Sgt. Dustin Brockman, a generation superintendent for TF 24-1, highlighted the importance of exercising to build both proficiency and speed.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Getting] the aircraft ready quickly is important,\u201d he said. \u201cIf it was a real-world situation, we don’t know how fast we would need to act. If we take too long to get ready, then we might not be able to meet the mission requirements. We work quickly yet safely to get the aircraft generated as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many Airmen, this exercise was a first for Capt. John Will, a KC-135 pilot assigned to the 97th Air Refueling Squadron. He said his first Titan Fury experience enabled him to develop at a steady pace in his role as an aircraft commander supporting Fairchild AFB\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s still a lot of learning to be done,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like with every step of the process, I’ve been slowly learning this mission and getting better at it. We do other smaller exercises and classes to get us ready for this, so it’s not just everything at once. Seeing it all come together has been really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

This recurring total force exercise is an example of how the 92nd ARW and the 141st ARW at Fairchild AFB are engaged, postured and ready with a credible force to assure, deter and defend in an increasingly complex security environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ran 24-hour operations for a week, generated 21 aircraft and demonstrated our ability to deploy personnel and conduct our mission from anywhere,\u201d said Col. Chesley Dycus<\/strong><\/a>, 92nd ARW commander. \u201cWe did this all by combining our efforts with our teammates in the 141st ARW, and the crews and jet here from the 912th ARS. I couldn\u2019t be more proud.\u201d
