An F-22 Raptor from the 94th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, Al Dhafra Air Base, flies behind a 908th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron KC-10 Extender over Southwest Asia, Sept. 12, 2018. The F-22 performs both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions and projects air dominance, rapidly and at great distances in order to defeat threats to the U.S. and our interests. The U.S. is postured to defend U.S. forces in the region from any threat. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Ross A. Whitley)
