A KC-135 Stratotanker aircrew from the 203rd Air Refuelling Squadron operates out of Hilo, Hawaii, Oct. 10, 2024, and provides air refueling to a C-17 Globemaster III, operated by members of the 204th Airlift Squadron, and F-22 Raptors, assigned to the 199th Fighter Squadron. The sortie was part of the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center 25-01, an exercise designed to enhance readiness in environments and conditions where U.S. and allied forces are likely to operate. Participants and aircraft from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam comprise total-force Airmen from the Hawaii Air National Guard and Active Duty personnel from the 15th Wing, who supported more than 5,000 joint service members and international partners in training scenarios throughout the Indo-Pacific Region. Additional C-17 aircraft from the Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, and Royal Australian Air Force are also providing airlift support to participants of the JPMRC. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech.
