"The Shadow has a long and proud history in both special operations and in the United States European Command theater," [Lt. Col. Scott Hartman] said. "The MC-130P's success is a product of the talented and dedicated aircrew who flew them and the professional and extremely hard-working maintenance personnel who maintained them through their long history."

Since the mid-1980s, the MC-130P has participated in special operations missions ranging from air refueling of the military's vertical lift platforms; precision airdrop of personnel and equipment; and the execution of night, long-range, transportation and resupply of military forces across the globe.

The Mc-130P will be replaced by the MC-130J Commando II.
