A F-15 Strike Eagle is refueled over the skies of Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom by a KC-135 Straotanker from the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron. The tanker was flown by a combined aircrew from Pease Air National Guard Base, N.H., where the 64th Air Refueling Squadron is a part of the 22nd Operations Group, McConnell AFB, but is operationally assigned to the 157th Air Refueling Wing. The partnership was formed as part of the Active Associate concept where active duty Airmen are assigned to an Air National Guard unit and work hand-in-hand with Guardsmen.
