Air Commandos with the 1st Special Operations Logistic Readiness Squadron conduct a forward area refueling point operation at Hurlburt Field, Fla., June 13. During the operation, a Pilatus PC-12 assigned to the 319th Special Operations Squadron received fuel from an EC-130J Commando Solo assigned to the 193rd Special Operations Wing, Middletown, Pa. The FARP program is a United States Special Operations Command initiative that performs nighttime refueling operations in deployed locations where fueling stations are not accessible or when air-to-air refueling is not possible. Forward area refueling points enable global reach and mission accomplishment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Joseph Pick)
