A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon prepares to receive fuel from a U.S. Air Force KC-10 Extender, assigned to the 908th Expeditionary Aircraft Refueling Squadron, during an early morning in-air refueling mission supporting Operation Octave Quartz with armed over-watch in Africa, Jan. 1, 2021. The F-16s are based in the Central Command area of operations and their support to OOQ demonstrates the U.S. military’s reach and power projection across vast distances to hold adversaries such as al-Shabaab at risk with flexible, precise and lethal force that is capable of rapidly responding anywhere on the globe. The mission of OOQ is to reposition U.S. Department of Defense personnel from Somalia to other locations in East Africa. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Trevor T. McBride)
