Impressive display by the 18th Airborne Corps...

They flew from Ft Bragg and conducted a simulated combat drop onto Guam? Inflight rigging? Refueled in flight? VERY impressive. 

That's some real deal crisis response. 

If the 18th Airborne could somehow get the Air Force to help them put together a HA/DR response force then they could become a one stop force for combatant commanders.
