El objetivo principal es el entrenamiento de tripulaciones en reabastecimiento en vuelo. Desde que comenz\u00f3, el 14 de octubre, hasta su finalizaci\u00f3n, el 27 del mismo mes, se volaron 33 misiones, alcanz\u00e1ndose las 115 horas de vuelo y suministr\u00e1ndose 637 toneladas de combustible. En esta edici\u00f3n se puso el foco en los procedimientos disimilares de encuentro entre varios cisternas (multi-tanker formation) y cisterna a cisterna (tanker-to-tanker); as\u00ed como los procedimientos de reacci\u00f3n ante amenazas y de retirada (threat reactions and retrograde). El EART23 se desarroll\u00f3 de manera simult\u00e1nea con el Ocean Sky 23, el mayor ejercicio aire-aire organizado por el Ej\u00e9rcito del Aire y del Espacio.
