DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable with members of the Air Force Reserve Special Missions Command

Summary: The Air Force Reserve Command contributes 100 percent of the U.S. Air Force's Weather Reconnaissance and Aerial Spray capabilities and 25 percent of the Air Force's Modular Airborne Firefighting System capabilities. On January 12-13 experts from all three of the Air Force Reserve Command's C-130 special missions will convene at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs for the first ever, AFRC C-130 Special Missions conference. All three missions provide significant contributions to our nation's Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) missions. The high experience level of its Airmen and the ability to respond to nature's fury at a moment's notice makes the Air Force Reserve Command an ideal partner in these missions. Joining us on the call will be Capt. W. Travis Adams, Assistant Chief of Aerial Spray, 757 Airlift Squadron, Lt. Col. Jonathan Talbot from the 403rd Wing, Lt. Col. David Condit who will be representing the 302d Airlift Wing, and Maj. Gen. James T. Rubeor, 22nd Air Force Commander.
