Fairchild Fuels B-52 during no-notice NORI

Tech. Sgt. Wesley Laprairie, an inflight refueling specialist assigned to the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron, prepares to refuel a B-52 Stratofortress over the Pacific Northwest July 18, 2024. The 92nd Air Refueling Wing and 141st ARW’s ability to rapidly generate airpower at a moment’s notice was put to the test when Air Mobility Command’s Inspector General team conducted a no-notice Nuclear Operational Readiness Inspection, July 16–18, 2024. During the NORI, Airmen demonstrated how various capabilities at Fairchild AFB enable units to generate and provide, when directed, specially trained and equipped KC-135 Stratotanker aircrews to conduct critical air refueling of U.S. Strategic Command-assigned strategic bomber and command and control aircraft.

Fairchild AFB conducts no-notice NORI

Tech. Sgt. Taryn Dennison, left, and Senior Airman Blake Witzel, flying crew chiefs assigned to the 92nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, perform pre-flight operations on a KC-135 Stratotanker during a no-notice Nuclear Operational Readiness Inspection at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, July 17, 2024. Air Mobility Command's Inspector General team conducted the no-notice NORI from July 16 - 18, during which the 92nd Air Refueling Wing and 141st ARW received same-day notification of the evaluation of the base's capability to perform as a nuclear support unit. Various capabilities at Fairchild AFB enable units to generate and provide, when directed, specially trained and equipped KC-135 Stratotanker aircrews to conduct critical air refueling of U.S. Strategic Command-assigned nuclear-capable bombers and Nuclear Command, Control and Communication aircraft. No-notice inspections validate that Airmen are always postured and ready with a credible force to assure, deter and defend in an increasingly complex security environment. No-notice and limited-notice operational readiness assessments and inspections directly support the plans unveiled by senior Department of the Air Force leaders as the force reoptimizes for Great Power Competition.
