LIVE EASTER MONDAY SPECIAL USAF HEAVY BIG IRON C-17 GLOBEMASTER III • RAF MILDENHALL

Live from RAF Mildenhall, home to the 100th Air Refeuling wing. It is very similar to Brize Norton, with the exception of the very futuristic linking CV-22 Osprey, which is part of the 352d Special Operations Wing (352 SOW). The 352nd Wing serves as the focal point for all U.S. Air Force special operations activities throughout the European theater for U.S. European Command (USEUCOM), as well as Africa for U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) and Southwest Asia and the Middle East for U.S. Central Command. The wing is prepared to conduct a variety of high priority, low-visibility missions supporting U.S. and allied special operations forces during peacetime, joint operations exercises, and combat operations. It trains and performs special operations primarily in the USEUCOM and USAFRICOM area of operations, including establishing air assault landing zones, controlling close air support by strike aircraft and gunships, and providing trauma care for wounded and injured personnel.
