A KC-10A Extender arrived from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, to help move essential equipment as more than 40 F-15E Strike Eagles and six KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft were repositioned to Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, as a precautionary measure to avoid potential damage from high winds associated with Hurricane Matthew.
