An Airman assigned to the 19th Airlift Wing inspects a weapon during a simulated Personnel Deployment Function (PDF) line at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, Jan. 31, 2024. During the Gnarly Explodeo readiness exercise, the 19th AW executed the Rocket Launch Playbook, a supplement to the base’s Installation Deployment Plan that provides a means for the wing to rapidly deploy eight of its C-130J Super Hercules aircraft in an extremely accelerated timeline to enable the Joint Force scheme of maneuver.
