No layovers. No shortcuts. Just global mobility 🗺️ ✈️

From Texas to the Philippines, Airmen pushed the limits of endurance and global mobility during a C-130J Super Hercules Maximum Endurance Operation ahead of Exercise Balikatan 2026.

Moving combat capability across the Pacific reinforced the ability of U.S. and Philippine forces to operate together.
