    Airmen with the 102nd Rescue Squadron, 106th Rescue Wing conduct Forward Area Refueling Point training at the Trent Lott Combat Readiness Training Center during Exercise Southern Strike 16, Nov. 2, 2015. FARP first came about after the 1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt. After this event, the Air Force realized the need for a highly-efficient way to transfer fuel from one aircraft to another, in non-standard and hostile environments. The exercise emphasizes air-to-air, air-to-ground, and special operations forces training opportunities. (New York Air National Guard / Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Muncy / released)
