Tech. Sgt. Austin Schwier, 39th Rescue Squadron loadmaster, drags a hose roller to force remaining fuel back into the HC-130J Combat King II aircraft while Senior Airman Zackary Short, 23rd Logistics Readiness Squadron forward area refueling point operator, holds the fuel hose during FARP training at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, Sept. 26, 2023. FARP provides the fuel necessary for helicopter and fixed-wing operations to continue their mission while reducing the vulnerability of forward deployed forces by taking gas from the HC-130J and passing it into another airframe on the ground using a system of hoses.
