Marines assemble C4 and TNT charges to demolish trees Nov. 29 at Charlie runway during a demolition range in exercise Forager Fury II. FF II is a joint exercise designed to employ and assess combat power generation in a deployed and austere environment. “The purpose of this demolition is to clear runway Charlie and get Marines involved,” said Keithley. “This training prepares for real world operations in the event that we have to set up a landing field on an island and fight pretty much anywhere. Here we’re prepared to clear a runway so MAG-12 can land F-18s.” Keithley is a platoon commander with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
