The newly formed 49th Aerial Port Squadron executed Arctic Care within a 30-day notice, resulting in 112,000 pounds of cargo that provided aid to over 7,000 villagers, along with the Denton Humanitarian Operation that delivered 135,000 pounds of clothing and food to two third-world countries. The 434th Logistic Readiness Squadron won the 2017 Dedalain Maj. Gen. W. Carter Logistics Effectiveness Award for the expedition of $9 million in aircraft parts and exceeded their mission capable rate by 13 percent, which also contributed to the 434th’s selection for the Raincross Trophy. Finally, the Development and Training Flight produced 85 graduates and maintained a zero wash-out rate, saving the Air Force $866,000. The 434th ARW is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. The Citizen Airmen from the Hoosier Wing routinely deploy around the world in support of the Air Force mission.
