The 37th Airlift Squadron at Ramstein AB, Germany, launched ten C-130J Super Hercules transports at one time during Exercise Bayonet Resolve on 5 October 2011. The C-130J crews took off from Ramstein after midnight and flew to Vicenza Army Base, Italy, to pick up nearly 800 Army Soldiers, a US Air Force Joint Terminal Air Control team, and 130 Polish Air Force jumpers. The C-130J crews then flew the 372 miles to the drop zone at Hohenfels AAF, Germany, in formation. Bayonet Resolve combined forces from several units at Ramstein and the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team from Vicenza Army Base, Italy, to exercise the interoperability, war readiness, and combat delivery capability of the US Air Force and Army.
