    A U.S. Air Force HC-130J Combat King II and Airmen assigned to the 79th Rescue Squadron, alongside members of the Royal Australian Air Force and the Nellis Air Force Base-based Experimental Operations Unit, conduct a proof-of-concept Forward Arming and Refueling Point operation for Collaborative Combat Aircraft with the MQ-28 Ghost Bat in Rota, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, June 28, 2026, in support of VALIANT SHIELD 2026. Exercises like VALIANT SHIELD allow Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the joint force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.

    The image shows two silhouetted figures viewed from inside a large military aircraft, likely a cargo plane, looking out onto a wet airfield tarmac. One figure is standing and wearing a flight helmet with communications headset, while a second figure appears to be crouching or kneeling. The scene suggests a military airlift or logistics operation at a tropical airfield.

    Two military personnel are conducting a fueling operation on a stealth aircraft, identifiable by its angular, low-observable design and the text 'Phantom Works' visible on the tail section. One individual is wearing blue camouflage uniform with green protective gloves, while the other is in an olive/gray flight suit. A fuel truck is visible in the background connected via hose to the aircraft's fueling port.
    A low-angle ground-level photograph taken on a military flight line showing two aircraft parked on a concrete ramp. Personnel are visible conducting maintenance or ground operations between the aircraft. The scene appears to be at a tropical or subtropical airfield based on the lush green vegetation and partly cloudy sky.
    Two military personnel are standing on a flight line in front of a dark-colored aircraft with a visible Boeing logo. One individual wears Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) blue camouflage uniform with teal chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles, while the other wears a U.S. Air Force olive/gray flight suit with a helmet and visor. The setting appears to be a tropical airfield, likely in the Pacific region, based on the lush vegetation and blue sky in the background.
    A dark gray stealth-configured unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is parked on a concrete apron in what appears to be a tropical location. Ground crew personnel are attending to the aircraft, with one individual kneeling near the front and another standing in the background. Support equipment including a yellow ground power unit is visible to the right of the aircraft.
