B-Roll: US, Morocco simulate air-to-air refueling above at African Lion 2025
U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa
May 13, 2025 | 2:42
U.S. Air Force Airmen assigned to the 166th Air Refueling Squadron, 121st Air Refueling Wing, Ohio National Guard, based in Rickenbacker Air National Guard, Ohio, conduct simulated air-to-air refueling in a U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotanker together with 16 Royal Moroccan Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons for currency and qualification during African Lion 2025 (AL25) in Marrakesh, Morocco, May 13, 2025. AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF,) on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Jacob Wongwai)
