Team Moody’s 23d Wing and 93d Air Ground Operations Wing worked alongside various units and military branches while demonstrating their capabilities during a surge exercise. For the first time, the wing-wide readiness assessment conducted by the installation’s Inspector General team allowed each group’s designated Wing Inspection Teams and group leads to separately inspect their mission capabilities. The 23d Medical Group utilized this innovative system of self-sustainment by promoting more efficient and effective medical practices. While the 23d MDG fended off pathogens, the 23d Maintenance Group helped propel the 23d and 476th Fighter Group’s A-10C Thunderbolt II pilots to defend the skies. Moody’s A-10 pilots also shared air space with F-16CM Fighting Falcon pilots from Shaw Air Force Base’s 55th Fighter Squadron and partnered with various Joint Terminal Attack Controllers to perform close-air support missions.

Airmen from the 23d Logistics Readiness Squadron provide fuel for Moody’s fleet of A-10C Thunderbolt IIs, HC-130J Combat King IIs, HH-60G Pave Hawks and A-29 Super Tucanos. Also, Airmen in the fuels laboratory perform 12 test methods to ensure the fuel quality before it enters any aircraft. When the Airmen perform hot refuels the engines never shut off. Hot refuels are similar to pit stops for racecars. Aircraft land, quickly refuel and launch again soon after. “We do a lot of training here, but I’ve been deployed and seen our job directly affect the mission. That’s when it’s really cool, when you know you’re fueling aircraft that go and deliver the fight,” said Staff Sgt. Kyle Jones, 23d LRS fuels distribution supervisor.

Robinson) Water pumps put to the test
Every five years, contractors come to Moody to perform a flow test to ensure the water pumps are producing the correct number of gallons per minute, which will translate to the correct pounds per square inch of fire-fighting foam. “A building, or in this case a hangar, is specifically designed to produce a certain quantity of water, measured in gallons per minute or foam per square foot for that whole building,” said Jim Longest, contracted senior inspector. “It is specifically engineered for the specific hazards, fuels or aircraft in that building. All of these systems are designed for the worst possible scenario and when we test the fire pumps, we make sure they are producing exactly what that building is designed to cover.”
