U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Jon Hardcastle, left, a KC-130J Hercules pilot, and Lance Cpl. Colby Judge, a KC-130J loadmaster, both with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 252, prepare a KC-130J Hercules for flight at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, June 7, 2023. U.S. Marines with 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) experimented with dynamic, assault-support capabilities in a distributed-aviation environment. The tail-to-tail transfer of supplies allowed distribution of sustainment in the minimum time period of vulnerability by reducing break-bulk requirements. VMGR-252 is a subordinate unit of 2nd MAW, the aviation combat element of II Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam Henke)
