Marines and civilian personnel set a boom to contain a simulated oil spill aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort July 13. The boom is towed behind the boats and acts as a large net, trapping the oil to be collected by a skimmer boat. Both Marines and civilians are part of the Facility Response Team for MCAS Beaufort and trained together to respond in case of a real spill. The Marines are with air station fuels and the civilians are with the Natural Resources Environmental Affairs Office.
