Shot on the ground of a refueling in progress. A US Marine AH-1 "Cobra" attack helicopter is facing left in the right foreground of the frame. A US Marine KC-130 Refueling Plane faces right in the background of the frame. Two US Marine crew members stand between the aircraft as a fuel line runs from the KC-130 and the AH-1. Both aircraft and its crew members are from VMGR-352, El Toro Marine Air Station, California. The refueling allows the helicopters to return to escorting a food convoy (not shown) and preventing them from being robbed and harassed by Somali bandits. This mission is in direct support of Operation Restore Hope

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
