A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II receives fuel from a 909th ARS KC-135 Stratotanker during Exercise Noble Fusion
KADENA AIR BASE, OKINAWA, Japan (Feb. 4, 2022) - A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II from the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 receives fuel from a 909th Air Refueling Squadron (ARS) KC-135 Stratotanker during Exercise Noble Fusion over the Pacific Ocean, Feb. 4, 2022. Noble Fusion demonstrates that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed stand-in naval expeditionary forces can rapidly aggregate Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group teams at sea, along with a carrier strike group, joint forces and allies in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for U.S., partner and allied forces. Naval Expeditionary forces conduct training in the Indo-Pacific throughout the year to maintain readiness. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Sebastian Romawac) 220204-F-EM877-1190
