1st Lt. Karin Gerstmayr from Germany, participant in the 2024 International Junior Officers Leadership and Development (IJOLD) course, pauses for a photo during his flight on a 134th Air Refueling Wing KC-135R Stratotanker Wednesday Aug. 14, 2024. The flight transitioned the participants from the first half of their program at the I.G. Brown Training and Education Center to Joint Base Andrews, Md., where they finished out their week-long visit. The United States, the Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserve hosted the 30th IJOLD conference, welcoming dozens of junior officers from NATO nations to share leadership theories and best practices, as well as to foster interaction with other countries to gain a better understanding of different military cultures.
