    A U.S. Air Force fighter pilot receives inflight aerial refueling from a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 305th Air Mobility Wing's Mission Generation Force Element (MGFE). The 305 AMW led and partnered with KC-46 and KC-135 air refueling teams and personnel from 16 Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard units, forming the largest Air Force MGFE in theater and the only MGFE to employ two major weapons systems. The MGFE achieved the highest sortie generation rate in theater, flying more than 3,600 KC-46 and KC-135 missions and offloading more than 150 million pounds of fuel to coalition aircraft supporting contingency operations for four combatant commands.
