A C-130 Hercules prepares to land on an austere landing zone set up by the Marine Air Traffic Control Mobile Team, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, at Chabelley Airfield, Djibouti, Oct. 27. The MMT maintained communication with the C-130 crew during its landing from the side of the landing zone. The six-man MMT used brightly colored panels and phantom lights to set up a 3,000-foot air strip. An ALZ can be set up on old runways, dirt strips or any long, flat area.
