    Sgt. Obrain Rodriguez waits for an F/A-18A++ to connect with the M-31 Marine Corps expeditionary arresting gear system's cable Dec. 5 at Tinian’s West Field during an arrestment landing exercise in Forager Fury II. The training consisted of rapid ground refueling and arrested landing operations, extending aviation training throughout the Mariana Island Range Complex.

The squadrons that participated in the training were Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112, “The Cowboys,” from Fort Worth, Texas, and VMFA 232, “The Red Devils,” from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., who are currently deployed to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, under the unit deployment program with MAG-12. The Marines are with MWSS-171, Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Rodriguez is an expeditionary airfield crew leader with MWSS 171.
