A U.S. Marine assigned to the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force-Crisis Response-Central Command attach a hose for refuel to a Marine KC-130 Hercules, at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. U.S. Marines from SPMAGTF-CR-CC worked alongside U.S. Airmen from the 378th Air Expeditionary Wing during a recent Tactical Air Forward Arming and Refueling Point exercise. As part of the exercise, a Marine KC-130 Hercules rapidly refueled an Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon in a simulated austere location. The TACAIR FARP provides an opportunity for the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force to train together, and establish valuable procedures and practices to increase interoperability. The exercise also bolstered the 378 AEW’s mission of projecting combat airpower in support of theater plans and operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Leala Marquez)
