    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Dillyn Spicer, an expeditionary airfield system technician with Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 172, prepares for a mock emergency arresting at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 23, 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.
