Two KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, from RAF Mildenhall, England, have returned from Naval Station Rota, Spain, following support of Operation Juniper Micron.

The U.S. Air Force has supported French operations in Mali and North Africa since 2013. The USAF routinely rotates aircraft in and around the theater in support of operations and exercises, and all changes are done in full coordination with host nations and support partners. Two KC-135s from the 22nd Air Refueling Wing at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, will continue operational support from Moron Air Base, Spain, while approximately 10 personnel from RAF Mildenhall will deploy to Moron to continue supporting the OJM mission.
