A U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules assigned to 36th Airlift Squadron, 374th Operations Group, is being unloaded of family food packs by U.S. Marines with 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, I Marine Expeditionary Force, in support of disaster relief operations at Virac, Philippines, Nov. 15, 2025. The KC-130J Super Hercules is a multi-role capable, medium-sized fixed wing tactical aircraft that provides expeditionary logistical support, air-to-air refueling and close air support to fleet operating forces. At the request of the Government of the Philippines, the U.S. military is working alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines to provide foreign disaster relief support to communities affected by consecutive Typhoons Kalmaegi (Tino) and Fung-Wong (Uwan), which caused extensive damage and tragic loss of life. The forward presence and ready posture of United States Indo-Pacific Command in the region facilitates rapid and effective response to crisis, demonstrating the U.S.’s commitment to Allies and partners during times of need.
