375th LRS synchronizes logistics during MOBEX to advance rapid global mobility

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. —  

The 375th Logistics Readiness Squadron recently completed a mobility exercise focused on rapidly moving personnel and equipment worldwide.

The MOBEX took place on Oct. 19, 2026, and brought together Airmen from traffic management, air transportation, and ground transportation to rehearse cargo preparation, inspection, and movement procedures.

“If a unit on the installation gets tasked for deployment, we process, inspect, verify all of their cargo, and make sure it’s airworthy so we can get it loaded onto an aircraft and down to a deployed location,” said Staff Sgt. Tyler Thompson, 375th LRS air transportation specialist. “We can have a unit on the other side of the world, within 24 hours, if need be.” 

Meeting that timeline requires both technical proficiency and coordination across logistics specialties. The MOBEX developed those skills through collective training, strengthening the installation’s ability to deploy units and project combat power for rapid global mobility.
