A U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 162 (Reinforced) refuels from a KC-130J over the Mozambique Channel near Comoros, Jan. 23, 2026. MV-22B Ospreys demonstrate the long-range mobility and sustainment capabilities critical to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa’s mission as air-to-air refueling enables joint and partner forces to project power, sustain distributed operations, and rapidly respond across vast distances - maintaining readiness, supporting security cooperation, and ensuring operational reach throughout the Horn of Africa.
