A R-11 Fuel Truck’s bonding cable is connected to an aircraft within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, June 4, 2025. The bonding cable equalizes static electricity between an aircraft and the fuel truck, to prevent the buildup of static electricity which can ignite fuel vapors and cause fires. Fuel distribution operators ensure safe conditions as they work with hazardous material in austere environments, which is necessary to generate airpower that deters adversaries and defends service members and allies within the CENTCOM AOR.
