Sgt. Vincenzo Polistena, an expeditionary airfield specialist, and Cpl. Ubarnel Diaz, a combat engineer, both with Marine Wing Support Squadron 373, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), use a gas-powered hammer to drive stakes into the ground to hold down the matting used for the helicopter landing zone at Patrol Base Taalanda Dec. 22. EAF specialists are the Marines in charge of ensuring that airfields and landing zones are properly surveyed and constructed. Some challenges the Marines face range from hard and uneven ground to getting the manpower and equipment to remote areas.
