LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. The 61st Airlift Squadron recently completed a multi-week, off-station training (OST) event spanning across Boise, Idaho, Key West, Florida, and Wilmington, North Carolina, March 8-28.
Completing 106 sorties, 254 flying hours, and nearly 2,000 training events, the 61st AS, 19th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, 19th Logistics Readiness Squadron, and 19th Operations Support Squadron sought to tackle Agile Combat Employment, distributed operations, and the Multi-Capable Airmen (MCA) concept.
“As we continue to accelerate change, we have to think outside the box on how we train,” said Capt. Dmytro Pichkur, 61st AS pilot and OST mission commander. “This OST provided a venue to test how the C-130 fits into the picture of the future fight, while simultaneously reducing our overall footprint.”
