U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Haieden Snow, an engineer assistant with Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 172, measures the perimeter of an expeditionary aircraft arresting gear system 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.
