    MWSS-172 Installs M-31 Arresting Gear

    A U.S. Marine with Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 171 marks an anchor point for M-31 expeditionary aircraft arresting gear at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, June 25, 2023. The M-31 arresting gear is a deployable system of cables, sheaves, and shock absorbers utilized to rapidly decelerate and stop aircraft in a controlled manner. This rapid cycle arrest system enhances 1st Marine Aircraft Wing’s capacity for safe and efficient landings, facilitates rapid response times, and supplements operational superiority in expeditionary environments.
