During Operation Allied Force, Brindisi also served as the forward operating base for a detachment of three MC-130P special operations tankers of the 67th Special Operations Squadron. They were deployed in support of combat search and rescue operations, primarily those of MH-53J Sea Stallion helicopters that recovered two downed USAF pilots from within Serbia. For this purpose, and as well as the giant underwing fuel tanks carried between the engines on each wing, they were equipped with in-flight refuelling pods carried on additional outboard adaptors.
