U.S. Marines with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 11, Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, load ordnance on a crate during exercise Steel Knight 25 at Sacramento Mather Airport, California, Dec. 11, 2025. The Marines inserted and departed the forward node with support from a U.S. Air Force KC-130J assigned to the 39th Airlift Squadron, underscoring 3rd MAW’s ability to sustain fixed-wing operations from distributed locations. 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.
