With bags packed and eyes focused, deployers from the Hawaii National Guard’s 154th Wing and Active Duty Air Force’s 15th arrive at the mobility line for an exercise deployment during a Combined Unit Inspection, Nov. 03 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The CUI is the final step in over 18 months of preparation and exercises by the active duty’s 15th Wing and the Hawaii Air National Guard’s 154th Wing. The inspection allows the wings to prove their ability to deploy quickly in response to an international threat, and their operational readiness in a foreign combat scenario.
