    U.S. Airmen assigned to the 493rd Expeditionary Fighter Generation Squadron load an AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air missile onto an F-35A Lightning II during an integrated combat turn within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, July 4, 2025. During ICTs, crews simultaneously refuel and rearm the F-35 with new munitions while the engines are still running. This combined process significantly reduces weapons and refueling load times, allowing the F-35 to rapidly return to the skies. (U.S. Air Force photo by MSgt Brady Fender)
