U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Robert Elsea, 351st Air Refueling Squadron boom operator assigned to the 100th Air Refueling Wing at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, controls the boom from a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft during a NATO-related vigilance activity over the Adriatic Sea, July 28, 2022. This exercise involved several NATO nations, led by the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) Carrier Strike Group. These type of activities enhance NATO interoperability and cohesion, providing NATO a valuable opportunity to integrate force capability and enhance Alliance cohesion. The 100th ARW provides the critical aerial refueling capability that expands the lethality of U.S., allied and partner-nation aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kevin Long)
