Coming this July to McChord AFB, Wash., are more than 55 US and international teams ready to tackle Air Mobility Command’s Rodeo 2007 competition. Joining 41 USAF teams will be three from the Marine Corps and one from the Coast Guard and teams from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Egypt, Germany, Netherlands, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates.
