An HH-60G Pave Hawk provides security for an HC-130J Super Hercules assigned to the 26th Rescue Squadron while simulated survivors are loaded after a training scenario during a combat search and rescue exercise in Iraq, July 15, 2018. The HC-130J replaced HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, air-land, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. Battlefield Airmen assigned throughout the combined joint operational area conduct operations in support of Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve. CJTF- OIR aims to enable and equip local forces to take ISIS head on while leveraging Coalition nation airpower to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. (U.S. Air Force photo by SSgt Keith James)
