The MC-130H Combat Talon II is a four-engine turboprop military cargo aircraft operated by the United States Air Force. Manufactured by Lockheed Martin, it is designed to provide infiltration, exfiltration, and resupply of special operations forces, as well as psychological operations support and helicopter air refueling. The Combat Talon II first entered active service in 1990.

The Combat Talon II became operational in the early 1990s, following the Gulf War. Originally designed to replace the Combat Talon I, an increase in the number of special-operations-capable aircraft stalled plans to retire its older cousin. The Combat Talon II features a stronger airframe and modifications to the rear and aft cargo doors. The electronics suite has been upgraded, and includes Global Positioning System navigation, special radars for navigating in adverse weather, and night-vision capability. These new technologies allow the Combat Talon II to fly as low as 250 feet above ground level, and make faster, more accurate airdrops. Increases in automation also reduce the aircrew by two.

The first combat deployment of a Combat Talon II was in 1996 when special operations units were deployed to Liberia where crews assisted in the evacuation of 2000 civilians from the American embassy when the country broke down into civil war. Similar circumstances brought the Combat Talon II to Zaire in 1997. Later that year, MC-130H missions carried commando units into Cambodia. A Combat Talon II aircrew earned the Mackay Trophy for an embassy evacuation mission in the Republic of the Congo in June 1997. The crew rescued thirty Americans and twenty-six foreign nationals, and involved twenty-one hours of flight time.
