A U.S. Air Force Loadmaster assigned to the 352d Special Operations Wing uses a color paddle to send light signals to an Armée de l'Air et de l’Espace (French Air and Space Force) EC725 Caracal from a U.S. Air Force MC-130J Commando II in preparation of a helicopter air-to-air refueling May 5, 2022. Both aircraft supported exercise Athena, a French-led joint and combined Special Operation Forces exercise that validates the full spectrum of integrated component and partner capabilities. Exercises like Athena allow U.S. service members to train at the operational and tactical echelon as a combined, joint force with SOF setting the conditions for larger operations.
