Fueling the flight line, U.S. Airmen support Turkish government humanitarian mission

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Benjamin Moran, a fuels distribution supervisor assigned to the 39th Logistics Readiness Squadron, deploys a pantograph fuel extension line while refueling a Ukrainian Antonov AN-124 Ruslan heavy transport aircraft in support of Turkish government earthquake relief operations March 3, 2023, at Incirlik Air Base, Türkiye. U.S. military organizations are working with interagency colleagues to harness the unique capabilities available to assist those affected by the earthquakes. The U.S. military’s role during these relief missions is to rapidly respond to this natural disaster with critical support capabilities and life-saving equipment, transporting assistance for aid areas the government of Türkiye deems most necessary.
