Anything but a normal day – Incirlik Air Base Airmen support earthquake response in Türkiye

Story by Master Sgt. Jonathan Lovelady February 27, 2023 at 02:04AM In the aftermath of the earthquakes that struck central-southern Türkiye on Feb 6, 2023, Airmen assigned to the 728th Air Mobility Squadron sprang into action to store and transport supplies and equipment used to support the Turkish government’s recovery efforts with the support of 39th Air Base Wing. The 728th AMS partnered with the 39th Logistics Readiness Squadron and the Turkish Air Force’s 10th Tanker Base Command to stage equipment in a facility on base that would become known as the “Ring of Fire” due to its circular shape, its primary purpose as a training area for the base fire department, and the rapid rate at which cargo is transported to and from the area.
