U.S. Master Sgt. Andrew McConkay, 36th Operations Support Squadron airfield manager, holds a dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) steady for Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Senior Airman Aya Mukai, Iwo To Air Station security specialist, as he drops a calibrated weight onto a measuring spike while conducting airfield survey operations during the Cope North 23 exercise, at the Iwo To Japan Maritime Self Defense Force Air Station, Japan, Feb 21, 2023. The DCP is a tool used to gauge the consistency of the subgrade beneath the pavement surfaces of an airfield, and many measurements help build a picture of how much weight and usage sections may be able to bear. Survey teams deploy to verify the status of an existing installation and what it can handle when there’s a demand to move aircraft and equipment to a new area. Cross-training following the Agile Combat Deployment methodology improves the interoperability of allied forces and provides additional strategic planning options, allowing for partner forces to respond to emergency situations more effectively.
