A KC-135 Stratotanker with Airmen from Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., recently returned home after completing a successful deployment to the Pacific Ocean island territory of Guam. The Michigan Guardsmen, part of the 127th Wing based at Selfridge, provided support and tanker operations at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, supporting continuous bomber presence and theater security plan in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s area of responsibility. The KC-135 primarily provides air-to-air refueling services to U.S. and allied aircraft, a mission of particular importance given the vast distances involved in the Pacific Region.
