Aircrew members assigned to the 61st Expeditionary Airlift Squadron operate a U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules to transport U.S. Army M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems assigned to the 1st Battalion, 181st Field Artillery Regiment during an Agile Combat Employment at an undisclosed location in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Dec. 21, 2021. An Agile Combat Employment is an operational concept that leverages networks of well-established and austere air bases, multi-capable Airmen, pre-positional equipment, and airlift to rapidly deploy, disperse and maneuver combat capability throughout a theater. Paired with aircraft refueling, arming and limited maintenance activities, ACE expands the number of bases from which air forces can generate combat sorties. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt.
