DroneScapes | AIR FORCE ELEPHANT WALK | Aircraft Operation Surges Explained @Dronescapes | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
What is an Elephant Walk? The term “elephant walk” comes from World War II when nearly 1,000 aircraft would launch for a single mission. The single-file line of aircraft resembled a herd of elephants. The nickname was so popular that the term became common in the Air Force vocabulary. Elephant Walks demonstrate our ability to deliver air power at a moment’s notice. They prepare Airmen for Operation Surges. A surge occurs when a large amount of Airmen and aircraft are mobilized to complete a mission. From the logisticians to the maintainers working on the aircraft, this training serves as valuable practice for all Airmen in the squadron.
