U.S. forces intergrate with Australian during EAC at RAAF base Darwin
Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Leading Aircraftman Aaron Townsend, aviation refueler with 13th Squadron, walks to launch a fuel pump while refueling aircraft ground equipment supporting a U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress at RAAF Base Darwin, Australia, April 3, 2018. RAAF Darwin and members of 13th Squadron hosted two B-52H crews and support personnel f from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, during a week-long Enhanced Air Cooperation (EAC) exercise. EAC allows the militaries of both nations to continue to develop operationally resistant air force capabilities in the Pacific region through bilateral collaboration and synergistic exercises. The EAC initiative, codified in 2014 by signature between the U.S. Secretary of Defense, U.S. Secretary of State and their Australian counterparts, fosters greater integration between U.S. Department of Defense air elements and the Australian Defence Force to enhance interoperability across the full spectrum of operations.
