Rocky Walls, CEO of 12 Stars Media, tries his hand at fighting an aircraft fire at the 434th Air Refueling Wing at Grissom Air Reserve Base.

The 434th Air Refueling Wing, equipped with KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft, is one of the key aerial refueling units in the Air Force Reserve Command. From its home at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind., the wing and its people travel around the world in support of various Air Force operations and contingencies.

The mission of the 434th Air Refueling Wing is to develop and maintain the operational capability of its units and train reservists for worldwide duty. The 434th Air Refueling Wing regularly participates in exercises and front-line operations to support America's national interests. The Air Force Reserve Command provides a substantial portion of the Department of Defense\'s total aerial refueling capability. Hence, the 434th receives its share of taskings both during peacetime and times of crisis to support our nation\'s active duty military forces.
