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.

Members of the Iowa Air National Guard’s 185th Air Refueling Wing departed this week for a temporary duty assignment at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

The group of around 100 unit members departed with their KC-135 air refueling aircraft as part of a regular three month rotation to the U.S. island territory in the Western Pacific.

The Iowa Airmen will provide in-flight refueling for U.S. military aircraft while at Andersen Air Force Base. Air Refueling missions include providing support for U.S. Air Force bomber aircraft that are part of the continuous bomber task force and theater security packages in the Pacific region.

While at Andersen Air Force Base, the unit will be assigned to the 506th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron.

The 506th is a permanent part of the U.S. Air Force’s 36th Operations Group that is supported by Air National Guard air refueling units like Iowa’s 185th ARW.
