Special mission aviators assigned to the 16th Expeditionary Special Operations Squadron load 105mm munitions onboard an AC-130W Stinger II in an undisclosed location in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, Southwest Asia, July 23, 2018. The AC-130W include a mission management console, communications suite, two electro-optical/infrared sensors, fire control equipment, precision guided munitions delivery capability; and one side-firing, trainable 30mm gun with tracer-less ammunition and associated munitions storage system. The mission management system will fuse sensor, communication, environment, order of battle and threat information into a common operating picture. The AC-130W Stinger II Precision Strike Package modification provides ground forces an expeditionary, persistent direct fires platform that delivers precision low-yield munitions, ideally suited for close air support and urban operations. The Coalition is enabling partnered forces to defeat ISIS by providing air support on the battlefield. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Keith James)
