12 Airmen from the 19th Airlift Wing executed a large formation launch and training event, designated “Swamp Dash”, with 913 Airlift Group mission partners April 15, which included 13 C-130J Super Hercules from Little Rock Air Force Base and two C-130Js from the 317th Airlift Wing at Dyess AFB, Texas.
The training objectives included joining up with Dyess at Chennault International Airport, Louisiana and providing pre-deployment training to the U.S. Army’s 46th Engineer Battalion and 519th Military Police Battalion.
“We were able to leverage our joint relationships and source real cargo from the Army,” said Capt. Kyle Hormann, 34th Combat Training Squadron air mobility liaison officer. “We also assisted the Army units with load plans training and instructed them on how to complete the appropriate paperwork to get their cargo moved safely.”
