    A military service member in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform sits on the open rear ramp of what appears to be a C-17 Globemaster III military cargo aircraft. The individual is wearing a communications headset and appears to be monitoring or observing the surrounding area, likely during ground operations. The interior cargo bay wall with labeled storage panels and equipment is visible behind them.

    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jason Conner, instructor loadmaster for the 816th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, monitors communications during C-17 Globemaster III hot refueling operations for a training and certification mission at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, April 9, 2021. The 816th EAS and 379th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron Airmen performed multiple iterations of a process where the Aerial Bulk Fuel Delivery System was drained into an R-11 fuel truck, then the engines were left running for hot refueling from the truck to the aircraft, as well as a defueling process from the plane back to the fuel truck. This operational capability enables the Air Force Air Mobility Command to support joint service partners in Agile Combat Employment. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt. Brigette Waltermire)
