Largest Launch of C-17s Puts 24 in the Air Over Charleston

The 437th Airlift Wing launched 24 C-17 Globemaster IIIs in a mass force generation exercise at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, Jan. 5, 2023. This exercise marked the largest C-17 launch ever from a single base and demonstrated the wing’s ability to rapidly generate and project overwhelming airpower alongside joint partners.
Listen to the brief radio chatter as airlift crews make it happen with quiet professionalism. The ability to fly global airlift continually is a huge component of American military power, and something that should be respected for the unique capability it brings to everything from power projection to humanitarian response.
