U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Jordan Smith, loadmaster assigned to the 71st Expeditionary Rescue Squadron, connects a fuel hose to an HC-130J Combat King II in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Feb. 9, 2025. Hot-pit refueling is an agile combat employment technique that cuts refueling time significantly, enabling aircrews to generate multiple sorties from the same aircraft as well as increase airpower staging options in theater.
