Project Carabao: Wet-Wing Refueling Published May 1, 2025 By Airman Xavier Romero 36th Wing ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- 36th Wing and 436th Airlift Wing Airmen conduct specialized refueling exercises on a C-5M Super Galaxy at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, April 29, 2025. This training is a part of Project Carabao, a multi-capable Airmen readiness and training exercise geared towards enhancing the Air Force's ability to conduct Agile Combat Employment by creating more versatile and agile teams. This specific training had Airmen conducting wet-wing refueling. Wet-wing refueling is the act of properly offloading fuel from an aircraft while its engines are running. The fuel that is offloaded is transferred to an R-11 refueler vehicle, which is then transported by another aircraft to a remote location for future use. "The idea is to take a fuel truck and transport it to a remote island and prepare it for use for other aircraft if needed." said Capt. Paul Schone, 436th Airlift Wing C-5 pilot. This is phase one and only a part of the larger Project Carabao exercise. Throughout this time, execution of proof-of-concept objectives continue as 36th Wing Airmen sharpen their skills as guardians of the Forward Edge.
