MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga.--The 23d LRS team coordinated through the Vehicle Support Chain Operations Squadron (VSCOS) to secure a loaner P-19 crash fire truck from Langley. The truck arrived aboard an HC-130J, ensuring our Fire Unit can continue protecting the installation and supporting flight operations without interruption.

This effort was made possible through strong partnership across the wing, with the 71st stepping up to assist in picking up and delivering the vehicle. Rapid coordination, teamwork, and a shared commitment to the mission, this is how we keep the base ready.
