    Michigan - A 9,000-foot section of M-28 in the Upper Peninsula played host
    to a history combat training exercise on Wednesday, June 29.

    While military aircraft have landed on U.S. highways before, this was the first time they landed on a highway and then were quickly refueled and
    rearmed while running, before taking off again. The method is called "integrated combat turns," or ICTs, and is a vital part of the U.S.
    Air Force's Agile Combat Employment doctrine, of being ready to execute missions quickly and in unpredictable ways.
