A 920th Rescue Wing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter prepares to connect to the hose-and-drogue system of an HC-130J Combat King II aircraft during helicopter air-to-air refueling off the coast of California during Distant Fury Stallion Dec. 5, 2023. This joint exercise, in conjunction with Exercise Steel Knight 23.2, presented a uniquely suited opportunity in remote, austere conditions to validate the wing’s interoperability within the joint team while reaffirming the wing’s lethality, precision and ability to fight and win in future operating environments such as the Indo-Pacific region.
