A U.S. Air Force MC-130J Commando II assigned to the 1st Special Operations Wing refuels a U.S. Army MH-60M Black Hawk assigned to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) during a joint helicopter air-to-air refueling exercise above the Southeastern United States, Jan. 23, 2026. Air to air refueling extends a helicopter’s non-stop flight distance, a capability necessary for joint special operations missions far from established airfields and logistical support. These exercises demonstrate the 1 SOW’s ability to project specialized airpower whenever and wherever needed. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Isabel Tanner)
