U.S. Marines attach an M-31 arresting gear to a millennia military vehicle at Clark Air Base, Philippines, March 19, 2019, in preparation for Exercise Balikatan. An M-31 arresting gear can hook various tail-hook aircraft to rapidly decelerate aircraft as it lands. Exercise Balikatan is an annual exercise between the U.S. and the Philippines and comes from a Tagalog phrase meaning "shoulder-to-shoulder," representing the partnership between the two countries. The exercise promotes regional security and humanitarian efforts for U.S. allies and partners. The Marines are expeditionary airfield systems technicians with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171.
