A U.S. Air Force Airman guides the offload of equipment from a KC-130J Hercules attached to 36th Airlift Squadron, 374th Operations Group, with a forklift in preparation for foreign disaster relief operations at Clark Air Base, Philippines, Nov. 11, 2025. The KC-130J is a multi-role capable, medium sized fixed wing tactical aircraft that provides expeditionary logistical support, air-to-air refueling and close air support to fleet operating forces. At the request of the Government of the Philippines, the U.S. military is working alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines to provide foreign disaster relief support to communities affected by consecutive Typhoons Kalmaegi (Tino) and Fung-Wong (Uwan), which caused extensive damage and tragic loss of life. The forward presence and ready posture of United States Indo-Pacific Command in the region facilitates rapid and effective response to crisis, demonstrating the U.S.’s commitment to Allies and partners during times of need.
