JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. — Military personnel from more than 20 countries converged at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington this week with a common goal: to learn from each other.

The participants and observers in Mobility Guardian, Air Mobility Command’s first-of-its-kind readiness exercise, were looking forward to seeing how each other operated once they took to the skies for different training scenarios and missions.

Air Mobility Command is hosting its inaugural Mobility Guardian readiness exercise in the Pacific Northwest to integrate more airmen into training that puts all of AMC’s capabilities to the test. Think of it as the mobility equivalent of Air Combat Command’s Red Flag exercise.

The exercise includes participants from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom.

Observers included Argentina, Austria, Bangladesh, Gabon, Germany, Japan, Kazakhstan, Philippines, Senegal, Spain, Sweden, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.

Air Mobility Command, headquartered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, reached out to various countries to find out what kinds of simulated missions they wanted to work on and what they wanted to see, Col. Clint ZumBrunnen, the exercise’s international observer mission commander, told Air Force Times on Tuesday in Washington.

For example, the British Royal Air Force brought its new Airbus A400M plane, the first time it has participated in an exercise of this scale. A number of countries are using the four-engine, turboprop tactical airlifter to replace older aircraft, such as the somewhat smaller C-130 Hercules

It seems no one knows what machine BAF will take for the purpose.
