39th Rescue Squadron conducts Forward Area Refueling Point with MQ-9 Reaper
An MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle receives fuel from an HC-130J Combat King II aircraft during a Forward Area Refueling Point training exercise at Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida, Aug. 8, 2023. FARP provides the fuel necessary for helicopter and fixed-wing operations to continue their mission while reducing the vulnerability of forward deployed forces by taking gas from the HC-130J and passing it into another airframe on the ground using a system of hoses.
