A KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to the 100th Air Refueling Wing refuels a MC-130J Commando II assigned to the 352d Special Operations Wing, both based out of RAF Mildenhall, U.K., during a training mission in the Black Sea, July 22, 2020. The ability to quickly respond and reassure NATO allies and partners rests upon the fact that we are here, in Europe, forward and ready.
