Air Force and Army Reservists teamed up recently to practice responding to a natural disaster—a giant surge wave hitting the Southern California coast—and, at the same time, help move the Army Reservists and their equipment to their new home at March ARB, Calif. Five C-17s and two KC-135s from Air Force Reserve Command’s 452nd Air Mobility Wing at March flew to NAS Point Mugu, where they took on the soldiers, heavy trucks, and Humvees of the Army Reserve’s 304th Sustainment Brigade that had convoyed to Point Mugu from Los Angeles.
