U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Thomas Lucero, 92nd Security Forces Squadron installation patrolman, inspects a fuel pit during a readiness inspection at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, Nov. 14, 2025. Air Mobility Command's Inspector General team evaluated the 92nd and 141st Air Refueling Wings’ capabilities 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. These inspections validate that Team Fairchild’s Airmen are always postured and ready, including having the capability to receive and generate aircraft from other bases, to assure, deter and defend in an increasingly complex security environment.
