U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron from Kadena Air Base, Japan, conduct a Forward area refueling exercise along with U.S. Navy 85th Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron during exercise Talisman Sabre in the Northern Territory of Australia, July 14, 2015. FARP operations provide the ability to refuel aircraft in non-standard and hostile environments using tanker aircraft to refuel rotary and fixed-wing aircraft while engines are running. FARP increases the reach and mission capabilities for special operation forces. Talisman Sabre is a biennial exercise that provides an invaluable opportunity for nearly 30,000 U.S. and Australian defense forces to conduct operations in a combined, joint and interagency environment that will increase both countries’ ability to plan and execute a full range of operations from combat missions to humanitarian assistance efforts.
