HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. --  A CV-22B Osprey aircrew performed a night-time training sortie, here, under the cover of darkness, Oct. 22, 2015. The CV-22 Osprey aircrews fly night sorties to practice using night-vision equipment and perform tactics critical to successful real-world operations. Night-time training enables Airmen the opportunity to train for deployment contingencies and operations. The primary mission of the Osprey is to supply special operations forces with long-range infiltration, exfiltration and resupply.
