A U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 164, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, off loads fuel at a forward arming and refueling point during Steel Knight 25 on San Clemente Island, California, Dec. 8, 2025. A FARP delivers refueling and rearming for rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, extending the reach of air operations in forward environments while demonstrating 3rd MAW’s ability to sustain distributed aviation missions through expeditionary refueling, ordnance support, and resilient communications architecture. Steel Knight is an annual exercise that strengthens the Navy-Marine Corps team's ability to respond forward, integrate across domains, and sustain Marine Air-Ground Task Force readiness.
