A U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 164, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, prepares to take-off after providing air-delivered ground refueling support at a forward arming and refueling point during exercise Steel Knight 25 on San Clemente Island, California, Dec. 8, 2025. The ADGR capability enables 3rd MAW to sustain distributed operations by delivering fuel to forward ground assets, powering mobility, generators, and support vehicles that keep aviation and maneuver forces moving across dispersed environments. 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.
