Personnel from the US Air Pressure and the US Navy executed an engine working offload (ERO) coaching utilizing a C-17 Globemaster III at Andersen Air Pressure Base in Guam.
The train, carried out on 10 July 2025, targeted on evaluating agile logistics assist and contingency mobility.
This coaching performed a component within the Resolute Pressure Pacific (REFORPAC) 2025 which goals to make sure joint pressure preparedness all through the Indo-Pacific area.
REFORPAC is a section of a collection of Division-Stage Workout routines (DLE) designed to reinforce operations in contested environments and increase the capabilities of forces to behave as a simpler deterrent.

The exercise aimed to refine procedures for receiving inter-theatre airlifts by using unconventional unloading strategies.
Taylor famous that this method diminishes dependence on scarce floor transport assets close to airfields.
“It’s a steady effort with a purpose of honing and increasing logistical capability whereas offering the abilities wanted to perform it. Even with the completion of a profitable occasion, the workforce is already on the lookout for the subsequent alternative to solidify second island chain logistics,” Taylor added.
