At least one SOLL II C-17 later landed and acted as a Forward Area Refueling Point (FARP). Fitted with internal fuel bladders, the C-17 FARPs were used to refuel other SOF aircraft - both fixed and rotary wing - now operating from the captured H1 airfield.

2024年4月10日 · Throughout the week, loadmasters, pilots, and fuels personnel from installations around the United States came together to train in FARP operations on the C-17. The essence of FARP operations is to execute 'hot refueling' procedures, where a tanker aircraft, such as a C-17, refuels another while both maintain their engines running.

Fighter FARP includes rearming, refueling, and swapping pilots with-out the use of airfield infrastructure—usually in 90 to 120 minutes. Benefits include strategic deterrence, crisis stability, greater range of fighter aircraft, and sustained fighter operations in an A2/AD environ-ment.

2021年9月9日 · Currently, the 437th Airlift Wing is the only C-17 unit in the world with special operations capability. C-17s are uniquely suited to the SOLL role. They were purpose-built to handle short and...

A forward arming and refuelling point (FARP) or forward area refuelling point [1] [2] is a NATO term for an area where aircraft (typically helicopters) can be refuelled and re-armed at a distance closer to their area of operations than their main operating base. [3]

2024年4月10日 · By conducting FAPR training, C-17 Globemaster III crews develop a greater agility and ability to quickly respond and provide global power projection under the cover of darkness in austere environments.

144 联队飞行员在训练期间利用该部队的 C-17 Globemaster III 为 302 FS F-22 Raptors 重新装备和加油。 FARP 任务展示了空军敏捷战斗部署概念，这是一种主动和被动的机动作战方案，在威胁时间范围内执行，以提高生存能力，同时产生战斗力。

2020年2月11日 · Members of the FARP (Forward Arming and Refueling Point) team at Joint Base Charleston discuss their mission and the training they do with C-17 SOL II crews.

The paper explores the concept of Forward Arming and Refueling Points (FARP) as a strategic solution for the U.S. Air Force to enhance power projection capabilities in the face of growing Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) threats, particularly from China in the Western Pacific theater of operations (WPTO).
