An 815th Airlift Squadon C-130J "smiles" as it awaits boarding passengers Oct. 21. The C-130J, along with C-130H and C-5 aircraft, participated in a five-day, three-wing Operational Readiness Exercise held at the Combined Readiness Training Center, Gulfport, Miss. Reservists and Air National Guardsmen from the 403rd Wing, 433rd Airlift Wing, and 165th AW were tested on various military scenarios during the exercise. The ORE is the precursor to the Wings' Operational Readiness Inspection in early 2012. (U.S. Air Force photo by Maj. Heather Newcomb)
