Special Tactics operators with the 26th Special Tactics Squadron marshal an F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, Feb. 27, 2019. Special Tactics is U.S. Special Operations Command's premier tactical air-to-ground integration force and the Air Force's special operations ground force, leading global access, precision strike, personnel recovery and battlefield surgery operations. Training to refuel aircraft in austere environments adds another valuable skillset to their wheelhouse. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Rose Gudex)
