TRTLE packs expedite maintenance mission

Weapons load crew members with the 492nd Aircraft Maintenance Unit prepare to work on an F-15E Strike Eagle with the new Theater Readiness Tactical Line Equipment packs at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, April 22, 2021. Designed to hold the minimal tools and equipment necessary to work on aircraft in a deployed environment, the lightweight backpack-style carriers weigh roughly 20 pounds, allowing Airman to carry and transport them to austere locations much easier than a full toolkit.

48th FW ACEs Baltic Trident

493rd Fighter Squadron F-15C Eagles fly back to Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, from Amari Air Base, Estonia after completion of Baltic Trident March 19, 2021. Exercises that focus on the Agile Combat Employment concept of operations minimize the reliance on prepared airfields by enabling the dispersal of smaller units to various locations while still meeting operational needs.
