U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. David Jones, a loadmaster with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 252, directs the driver of an extended-boom forklift – military millennium vehicle, assigned to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS) 29, to pick up a palette off a KC-130J Hercules at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, June 7, 2023. The tail-to-tail transfer of supplies allowed distribution of sustainment in the minimum time period of vulnerability by reducing break-bulk requirements. U.S. Marines with 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW) experimented with dynamic, assault-support capabilities in a distributed-aviation environment. VMGR-252 and MALS-29 are subordinate units of 2nd MAW, the aviation combat element of II Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam Henke)
