02/22/2016 02:48 AM CST

Three KC-135 Stratotankers along with 50 Airmen from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, RAF Mildenhall, England, temporarily deployed to Istres-Le Tubé Air Base, France, in support of Operation Juniper Micron.

The U.S. has been supporting the French Government in OJM at their request since 2013, providing air refueling and airlift support of French operations in Mali and North Africa.

Since December 2015 alone, the 100th ARW has flown more than 750 sorties, refueled more than 2,900 French aircraft and off-loaded nearly 28 million pounds of fuel while supporting French operations.
