WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. -- More than 150 Soldiers and Airmen conducted round-the-clock aerial port and cargo-transfer operations in exercise Turbo Distribution, March 12-17, 2025 at Westover Air Reserve Base, Mass. This exercise flexes the U.S. Department of Defense’s capability of rapidly assessing airfields and opening aerial port operations by moving approximately 215 cargo tons through a small airfield into a contested theater of operations in just a few days.
