U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Oscar Torres, an expeditionary airfield system technicians with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, sets up an M-31 Expeditionary Arresting Gear System in support of an arrested landing of an F/A-18E Super Hornet aircraft with Strike Fighter Squadron 195 in response to a simulated tactical ballistic missile strike on the airfield during Exercise Active Shield at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Oct. 28, 2021. Arrested landing operations are designed to ensure aircraft land safely during flight operations on short runways, such as landing on short plane carriers and runways. Exercise Active Shield, conducted annually, is designed to better prepare the station to quickly and safely carry out incident response procedures during base defense operations.
