An Air Refueling Wing is a specialized unit within the military that provides aerial refueling support to extend the range and endurance of aircraft. This capability allows fighter jets, bombers, and transport planes to operate over longer distances without needing to land for fuel. The wing typically operates tanker aircraft, such as the KC-135 Stratotanker or KC-46 Pegasus, which are designed to transfer fuel in-flight. These wings play a crucial role in military operations, enabling strategic air missions and enhancing the effectiveness of air forces. By facilitating refueling, the Air Refueling Wing ensures that aircraft can maintain their operational tempo and respond quickly to various missions, including combat, humanitarian aid, and reconnaissance.
