Staff Sgt. David Hoyt, a KC-130J loadmaster with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron(VMGR) 152, guides a MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262, into place for air-delivery ground refueling training aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Aug. 21, 2015. This kind of refueling operation is usually conducted in an austere environment where an air strip or fuel is not available. The KC-130J’s ability to refuel other vehicles adheres to the Marine Corps aviation’s mission to deliver Marines, fuel and cargo where needed.
