A U.S. Air Force KC-130J Super Hercules lands in support of forward arming and refueling point operations during exercise Steel Knight 25 at Sacramento Mather Airport, California, from Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, 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.
