Tactical landings consist of touchdowns on short or unimproved runways in tight and remote areas where supplies might be needed. The 182nd Airlift Wing, Illinois Air National Guard, Peoria, Ill., supported rotation 15-1 hosted by the U.S. Air Force Aviation Detachment 1, 52nd Operations Group, Lask Air Base, Poland. The U.S. Air Force’s forward presence in Europe allows allies and partners to develop and improve ready air forces capable of maintaining regional security.
