F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 35th Fighter and 80th Fighter Squadrons, Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, arrived at Gwangju Air Base to support Agile Combat Employment operations for exercise Beverly Pack 25-1, Jan. 13.

Airmen from the 8th Maintenance Group and 35th Fighter Generation Squadron stood ready, prepared to immediately perform Integrated Combat Turns (ICTs) upon their arrival.

These demonstrations showcased their receiving, servicing, refueling and munition loading capabilities while the aircraft engines were still running. This minimizes the necessary time for pilots and aircraft to receive required attention before relaunching and returning to the mission, continuing to project combat air power.
