The first KC-130J "Hercules" to land at Forward Operating Base Delaram II arrived Nov. 30. The runway was constructed by a small detachment of Marine Wing Support Squadron 373 Marines, who were present to view the fruits of their labor. In a total of 66 days, the Marines of MWSS-373 lifted and slammed over 1.2 million square feet of airfield matting, which averaged 2,500 pieces laid per Marine; moved and spread over 225,000 cubic meters of dirt and gravel and reviewed more than 7,800 drafting and surveying points. These are just a few of the vast accomplishments made by the small detachment of Marines and sailors who contributed to the runway project.
