Dynamic Front

The next iteration of exercise Dynamic Front takes place from Nov. 4-24, 2024 in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania. It demonstrates NATO’s ability to share fire missions, target information, and operational graphics from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
The exercise increases the lethality of the Alliance through long-distance fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leverages host nation capabilities to increase USARUER-AF’s operational reach. Dynamic Front is planned to include more than 1,800 U.S. and 3,700 multi-national service members from 28 Allied and partner nations.

Please send media inquiries to the 56th Artillery Command Public Affairs Office at: usarmy.wiesbaden-germany.56-atry-cmd.mbx.pao@army.mil.

California Air National Guard Aerial Fire Fighting C-130J Drops Retardant on Trout Fire
146 Airlift Wing, California Air National Guard
July 16, 2024 | 1:35
California Air National Guard personnel and MAFFS (Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System) aircrew Capt. Cameron Sheppard and Maj. Nate Southwick and Capt. Tyler Henry, with the 115th Airlift Squadron, Channel Islands Air National Guard Station, follows a U.S. Forest Service lead plane as they perform a fire retardant drop from inside the flight deck of a MAFFS-equipped C-130J Super Hercules above the 'Trout Fire' in Tulare County California, July 15, 2024. These C-130 aircraft are equipped with the U.S. Forest Service's MAFFS, which can drop up to 3,000 gallons of fire retardant in less than 10 seconds across a quarter-mile line. Department of Defense C-130s such as these can be converted into airtankers and provide a critical "surge" capability that can be used to bolster wildfire suppression efforts when commercial airtankers are fully committed or not readily available.
