Senior Airman Zackary Short, 23rd Logistics Readiness Squadron forward area refueling point operator, holds the fuel hose steady while Tech. Sgt. Patrick Norton, 39th Rescue Squadron loadmaster, drags a hose roller to force any remaining fuel back into the HC-130J Combat King II aircraft during FARP training at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, Sept. 26, 2023. FARP provides the fuel necessary for helicopter and fixed-wing operations to continue their mission while reducing the vulnerability of forward deployed forces by taking gas from the HC-130J and passing it into another airframe on the ground using a system of hoses.
