Wet-wing missions fuel austere U.S. bases in Afghanistan
A C-130J Super Hercules from the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron receives fuel from a fuel truck during a wet-wing mission Dec. 10, 2017 at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. The C-130J then flew to a forward operating base where it completed the wet-wing mission by delivering excess fuel to the user. A wet-wing defuel is traditionally a special operations forces mission, but by training mobility air force C-130J crews in this capability as well as hot refueling, conventional forces augment limited SOF resources.
